Only two games, or four points, separate these teams in the climb for control of the top rung and the fact that the Porkies combed the High Graders in their own bailiwick strengthens the belief that Timmins isn‘t at all sure of finishing in first place. However, the first and second placers may be beckoned to do battle in a postâ€"schedule series in which event it really doesn‘t matter to South End unless the Noranda Copper Kings step around them, to claim second position. N.O.H.A. records place Timmins in first place with eight wins, Southâ€"Porcupine second with six and Noranda trailing with five. The first and second placers have two games to go and the Copper Kings have four unkept dates in the "They have been decidedly impressed as to Ontario‘s present and Ontario‘s future as a great goldâ€"producing area. Last year the Province of Ontario proâ€" duced a greater amount of gold, than did the United States excluding the Philippines, while Canada‘s total gold production surpassed the United States, including the Philippines. Canada, therefore, remains second only to South Africa as the world‘s greatest gold proâ€" ducer." "One fact, however, stands outâ€" namely that the production of gold is not a competitive business. All gold is réadily absorbed, and it is because of this fact that people are turning to gold and desire to participate in the profits of this industry. Investments in good gold mines and promising new ones bespeak interest earnings and profits higher than idle surplus money can get elsewhere. It was because the opportunities afforded in Ontario; its increasing gold production; its diviâ€" dendâ€"paying mnes, that the group of financiers came to see for themselves Ontario‘s great mines. regular schedule. With the Sault deâ€" finitely in with a senior entry and Falâ€" conbridge flashing in smart form, the race for senior supremacy of the N. O. H. A. promises to be particularly inâ€" teresting. The Golden Greup will proâ€" duce a team to represent the northern zone while there‘s few, if any, outside the Sault aand Sudbury areas who will predict the outcome of the impending scramble for senior honours in the southern section. For sake of arguâ€" ment let‘s say Falconbridge and Timâ€" mins will be the finalists, What will be the final result? But then the Falcons will have to meet the successors to the North Bay Vigilantis, and remember what happened last year!" "The debt problem is the overhangâ€" ing cloud mainly responsible for this fear and lack of confidence, because nations and peoples of the world deâ€" cline to venture until the ceaseâ€"fire of the war is given, and until the world knows that this great disâ€" turbing factor of war debts on world finance is adjusted and finally settled, fear will not be dispelled. "HMcwever, large numbers of persons of private means take the sane view with the result that money is put to use, which might otherwise remain inert, inactive and useless for trade. "The men represented a powerful and influential group and control a lot cof money," the Minister declared "There is a large amount of money still accumulating seeking investments. Ordinary industrial invesiments at the present time have little appeal and fear which has gripped financial inâ€" stitutions until confidence. returns makes them hesitate to invest under existing conditions. Members of the party, whose groupâ€" ed interest approximate several milâ€" lions of dollars, were "decidedly imâ€" pressed" Mr. McCrea observed. Bornâ€"In Timmins, Ont.. on Priday, February 7th, 1933, at St. Mary‘s hosâ€" saw in the trip a desire to invest "inâ€" active money" in the Province‘s gold fields. With industrial investments having little appeal at the present time people are turning to gold, he said. Financiers Pleased With Visit to North The Minister of Mines believed that the visit was of utmost importance to Ontaria and its gold production and Globe after his return with the party of investment men from the North last week. The visitors, mostly representaâ€" ting large financial houses in New York, although London, Toronto and Montreal had noted representatives in the group, completed a fiveâ€"day trip in Ontario‘s great mineral area, seeing and inspecting while en route Porcuâ€" pine, Kirkland Lake, Noranda and the Sudbury belt mines. "Our cousins from the South are sold ¢n Ontario as a gold producer," declared Hon. Charles McCrea, Minâ€" ister of Mines, in speaking to The Hon. Chas. McCrea Believes that There will be Increased Investment in Mines of the Province as Reâ€" sult of Recent Tour. Supply of Firewood for . Farms in Temiskaming "The great fire of 1922 which clearâ€" ed up so much land for Temiskam‘ing also destroyed an immense quantity of building timber and firewood, and even though at the time farmers may have been pleased with having their land cleared we expect they would have preâ€" ferred that the fire had not come. We understand that many farmers have no more bush on their farms than have farmers adjoining Toronto. But a few miles east, west or south, there are immense forests, and all farmers have to do is to see Mr..S. C. Macdonald, Crown Timber Age‘@, and arrange for their firnewood. Mr. Macdonald unâ€" derstands all about the needs of the farmers and has full authority to deal with them. We think a good plan for farmers who need wood would be to cut it and draw it to a place where the truck could get to it in the spring, and then have it taken to their homes. It would not be safe nowâ€"aâ€"days to leave it on the roadside. A farmer near New Liskeard, had experience. He went with his team early in the winter to get some wood he cut last winter only to find that it had been stolen." It may seem odd â€"to some people that there should be any danger of the supâ€" ply of firewood for any of the farmers in this North Land running low, but at least in the Temiskaming area, south of Cochrane district there does appear to be that danger for the esâ€" tablished farmers. This is pointed out by The New Liskeard Speaker, with a form of remedy Smggested. In this connection The New Liskeard Speaker says:â€" Kirkland Lake‘s school population is growing so rapidly that a new 8â€"roomed school to cost about $40,000, is seen as an absolute necessity by the public schooil trustees. The school should be ready by next September, the trustees say. The matter came before the Teck townâ€" ship council recently when a letter was received from R. J. Carter, cha‘rman of the schGol board, and a former reeve of the township, advising the council to provide for this very necessary work. Apparently in the matter of +school accommodation Kirkland Lake is in the same position as Timmins was some years ago when it seemed that new schools could scarcely be constructed to accommodate the new pupils. To the towns of the North the rapid influx of population into the thriving sections makes a problem:‘ in the way of the necessity for everâ€"increasing school accommodation. In Timmins there is still need for further school accomâ€" modation and this situation will likely recur for years. One good feature, however, is the fact that the big towns ;of the north have much permanence and so outlay now means provision for future years. Were the camps of the North as transitory as some of the other gold camps of the world the situâ€" ation would be more serious. KIRKLAND LAKE IN URGENT NEED OF NEW $40,000 SCHOOL The Haileyburian last week says:â€" ‘"Persistent reports are circulating in the district regarding ‘the prospects of the CN.R.‘s crack train, the Conâ€" tinental Limited, being run over the T. N. O. tracks and west from Cochâ€" rane again in the near future. No deâ€" finite announcement has been made by the railways concerned, but it is stated some pressure is being brought to bear on the C.N.R. management. According to one story from Cochrane a few days ago, it has been suggested the train would resume running via its former route about the beginning of March, and that the Toronto connection now provided by No. 47 would be arranged to suit the Montreal train. Local serâ€" vice would ~be provided by the afterâ€" noon train. The Continental Limited was taken off the T. N. O. route a year ago last November, and its restorâ€" ation would mean considerable extra employment to C.N.R. employees livâ€" ing in Cochrane, it is stated there." STILL SAYS THE CONTINENTAL WILL USE THE T. N. 0. AGAIN Reports from Toronto Maple Leafs headquarters state that Conny Smythe has offered the Ottawa Senâ€" ators a complete front line comâ€" prising Andy Blair, Cracie and Doraty in exchange for Hec. Kilrea. Kilrea is one of the finest profesâ€" sional hcckey players in the game and a great back checker. orcupine Aobpance TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 16TH, 1933 "The present may not be the best time, from a financial standpoint, to ask that the territory now included in one agricultural district, be divided inâ€" to two, with ancther representative apâ€" pointed to take care of the southern section of the district. But it can be seriously questioned if the Government can afford not to appoint a second reâ€" presentative. With many new settlers being placed on farms in the district, and the urgent need of reducing as far as possible expenditures on relief work and direct relief, it is only reasonable to suppose that the work of the agriâ€" cultural representative is now doubly important. And it should be borne in mind that not only is the work of Mr. Pomerleau. during the past few. years "In Mr. Pomerleau, the Department of Agriculture has a hard working and faithful servant! and the settlers have a valuable guide and source of informaâ€" tion. But he is being unduly handiâ€" capped in his work by the extent of the territory which he +s expected to cover. It is, of course ighly desirable that every department of the government keen expenditures down to the lowest pcssible point, but we have no nesltaâ€" tion in offering the opinion that the appointment of another agricultural representative to take care of the southern section of the district would be a measure of true economy. Given a chance to do so, the agricultural reâ€" presentative can materially assist the settlers to become selfâ€"supporting and independent of relief. But under presâ€" ent conditions, the work can cnly be half done." beginning to bear fruit, but there is a constantly increasing interest being shown by the settlers in acquiring as much information and guidance as possible, as is shown by the increasing numbers attending the short courses and lectures, as well as the requests for personal visits. St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus:â€"Rudoiph G. Spreckles was once registering at a fashionable California hotel. The clerk, upon seeing the signature, said: "Oh, Mr. Spreckles, you will want the Rose Suite, I am sure." Mr. Spreckles replied that he desired something less expensive. "But, Mr. Spreckles," proâ€" tested the clerk, "your son always ocâ€" cupies the Rose Suite when he is here." "My son," said Mr. Spreckles, "has a rich dad. I am not so fortunate.‘"â€" Contributes by S. K. Austin, Chicago. Illinois. "Few people not directly in touch with the work of Mr, Pomerleau have an idea just how much he accomplishes in the course of a year. Nor is it, perâ€" haps, generally realized just how valuâ€" able his work is, nor how much it is appreciated by the settlers. The setâ€" tlers of the whole district, which exâ€" tends from Matheson on the south to Hearst on the west, are turning to him in everâ€"increasing numbers for advice and guidance. So much so, in fact, that he is unable to satisfy more than a fraction of the demands on his time and attention. "Believing that the work of aur lsca: Agricultural Representative, Mr. Pomâ€" erleau is being very seriously hindered by the size of the tâ€"rritory he is exâ€" pected to cover, we have on several cccasions through these columns adâ€" vocated that the territqgry be split. up. With the beginning of a new season near, and the imminence of preparaâ€" tions for that season in mind, we feel that the time is cpportune to> again press attention to this very important matlter. on a number of occasions The Adâ€" vance has urged the appointment of a seecnt represzsentative for the Dept. of Agrculture forâ€"this large territory. There is nothing but praise for the good work done by Mr. Pomerleau, but the territory is s> largs that no man can do anything like justice to it without overworking himself. â€" Mr. Pomerleau is making special effort to fill the bill in the best way possible, but the enorâ€" mous extent of territory makes this a problem indeed. At the present time with all Government effort turned to cutting expenditures, it may be hopeâ€" less to suggest the app>intment of a second representative, but in any event The Advance gives herewith an ediâ€" torial article from the last issue of The Cochrane Northland Post:â€" Need Second Agricultural Representative for Area photographed in the Admiralty on his first day after succeeding Adâ€" miral Sir Frederick Field as First British Sea Lord. A man giving out the idea that he is the district secretary of the Canadian Labour Defence League with district headquarters at Port Arthur, is quoted as saying that he had received word that there were 32 men "on strike" in a government road construction camp not far from Sioux Lookout. Thereâ€" port that the men are on strike in the Sioux Lookout district has been officiâ€" ally denied in despatches from Siqux Lookout. The despatches suggest that there is nothing to the report, except, perhaps, that the district secretary would like to get his name in the paper and thus appear to be earning any money he may be getting from symâ€" pathizers with his views in this counâ€" try or elsewhere. The report was that 32 men had gone on strike in protest against the dismissal of three men who had attempted to beat their way to Kenora to testify in appeals being heard in district court of nine men sentenced to jail terms at Sioux LoOkâ€" out in December as a result of demonâ€" strations and rowdyism staged by agiâ€" tators. Possibly the only basis for the report of the "strike" is that the three men who may have quit did so in the usual way because the work was beâ€" coming monotonous to them. The exâ€" cuse of a trial or anything else in the way of excuses would be good enough for them. Here, even the alleged war in China is enough to make some men quit work in protest. The word from Sicux Lookout, however, is to the effect that with the exception of the few men who are forever quitt:ng, beâ€" cause they are tired, or lazy, or what not, the work is going along as usual without untoward incidents or acciâ€" dents. A man giving the name of Leonard Cole, of Detroit, was arrested at Sudâ€" bury and sentenced to pay fines or take Jail terms totalling eight months in jail. The charges against him included ilâ€" legal possession of liquor and charges of false registration and jumping board bills at Sudbury hotels. The police also said that this young man had been identified by a maid in a Sudbury house as the man posing as a telephone inspector to gain access to houses. In the case referred to he got into one house on the plan that he wanted to inspect the telephone. The same evening, the family were away at a hockey ma.tch the house was entered and the place ransacked, Last week The Advance noted the trick of this bogus telephone inspector, so that if the game were tried here people might be on their guard. Denial Made of Reported . â€"â€" Strike at Sioux Lookout ASHLEY‘S GRADE PER TON RUNNING OVER $13.00 NOW Officials of Ashley Gold Mines report millheads for the past week averag:ing $13.30 per ton, as against an earlier rate of between $18 and $20 per ton. The lowering of heads is due to the fact that Ashley is now milling inâ€" creased tonnages and is taking ore over wider mineral width. Officials state heads are in keeping w.th the new proâ€" gram of mill operations, which involves larger tonnage milled with slightly lower grade.. This programme, it is stated will automatically increase the amount of payable ore in sight lowering productioni of bullion. FAKE TELEPHONE INSPECTOR SENTENCED AT SUDBURY South Porcupine Rinks Try for Englehart Cup Despite the fact that so many curlers were away at the big bonspiel at Kirkâ€" land Lake last week there was a chalâ€" lenge match played at the rink here for the Englehart cup on Saturday last, trophy stayed where it has been for some time past.

Recently when a Noranda couple reâ€" turned home after the honeymoon they were greeted by a turnout of the Noâ€" randa fire brigade, of which the groom was a member. There was‘ a triumphal procession (at least, it was triumphal for all but the bride and groom), with the siren screaming, the firemen cheerâ€" ing and a general howdyâ€"do. This will recall the old days in Southn Porcupine when the brigade there used to simiâ€" larly honour all firemen, all exâ€"fireâ€" men, all ever likely to be firemen, and often any Other groom ever known to have attended a fire. It is doubtful however, if the processions at Noranda will ever equal for happiness and noise some of the more famou wedding parades in South Porcupine in years gone by. However to continue the announceâ€" ments made by the premier at; the meeting in Toronto:â€" The government had not. been able to adopt the suggestion to make federal and provincial ridings coâ€"terminate. The premier intimated there would no increase in gasoline tax and no other increase in taxation, unless absoâ€" lutely vital to the maintenance of proâ€" vincial credit. When the present enquiry into relief admiifistration at Sturgeon Falls is completed the Commission will turn its attention to the situation in other municipalities, the premier said. NORANDA BRIGADE HONOURED NEWLYâ€"WEDS IN OLD STYLE 1t may be remarked in passing that the reference of the premier to "repreâ€" senting 25,000 people spread over hunâ€" dreds of square miles" hits the repreâ€" sentation of ‘this North, and it is diffhiâ€" cult to understand with this in view where there can be any decrease in the representation in the North withâ€" out serious injustice. Probably the premier thinks of certain sections as being in the North, while the people of the North look upon these same areas as essentially of the South. "It was tUnfair that ‘the impresion should get abroad that Sturgeon Falls was the only offending community in relief administration, the premier said. "It is decidedly more difficult for a member to represent 25,000 people spread over hundreds of square miles as compared with city representatives, with the entire constituent population conâ€" centrated in one or two square miles," the premier remarked. Fire Damages Post at Kirkland As result Toronto would lose posâ€" sibly three seats, Ottawa and Hamilton one each, and representation would also have to be curtailed in various parts of the north, extreme west and sections of Southern Ontario. ‘This was essential, he said, because these areas had a great number of seats with comparatively small populations. Drastic reduction in legislature seats, curtailment of expenditures whereever possible and further protection to Ontario home owners, is the policy which Premier Henry proposes for forthcoming session of the House. Speaking at a meeting of Ward nine Conservatives at Toronto last week the premier declared the present represenâ€" tation in the legislature would be reduced from 112 to 90 or even less. The proposed redistribution will be based on a rural minimum of 25,000 population per member, with most cities about 50,000. No Fire broke out in the basement of the post offlice building at Kirkland Lake at about 5 o‘clock Wednesday afternoon and while there was little damage done to the building by fire it might have developed into a serious conflagration, but for the quick and efficient work of the local fire force under Chief Mathieâ€" son. J. C. Ross, postal superiitiendent who happened to be in Kirkland Lake attending the bonspiel assisted postâ€" master Bert Elliott in seeing that the mail was sacked and despatched ‘to the police station under Constable Andy Those occupying Ooffices in the upâ€" stairs part of the building removed all valuables. The fire is thought to have been caused by an overheaded furnace pipe. The post office was open for business as usual Thursday morning. The prompt and effective measures taken by the Kirkland Lake fire briâ€" gade no doubt averted a serious fire. For some time, the fire looked threatâ€" ening and the smoke pouring from the building scon attracted large crowds, the attendance at the fire rivalling the interest in the big bonspiel then in proâ€" gress at Kirkland Lake, so far as the general public was concerned. Announcements by Premier G. 8. Henry Tells Toronto Conservatives Number of Seats in Province to be Reduced. Some of the Reductions in the North. But Where? Bill Cook and Gerard Von Dochterâ€" man, the two men who passed through here some weeks ago on a hike across the continent, have written back from Bioux Lookout to say that the timber wolves are very plentiful along the route.
