In {fact, the thing that ‘Toronto Globe:â€"An enterprising radio station advertised for a groundâ€" hog which it was intended to place on a roof and, if he saw his shadow, the fact would be broadcast. But in the absence of a groundhog, wouldn‘t a cat have served the same purpose? Cats, Smiths Falls, 1,081; Sudbury, ‘Timmins, 1,281. A total of 18,994 radio receiving licenses have been issued in Ottawa up to the end of January which constitutes a new high record according to the raâ€" dio branch of the Department of b#ldiings there are two licenses for radios. When W. F. B. Cadman was manager of the telephone system in Timmins he used to hold the number of telephones in town was generally about the same as the number of autoâ€" mobiles, and that when the town inâ€" creased in size the equal increase in the number of automobiles and telephones was very noticeable. Now it would apâ€" """ phones and the radios alike in numâ€" ber. In reference to the radio licenses issued, The Ottawa Journal Tugsday of D e TSE i:his week had the rollowing facts to give:â€" Radio Licenses Issued for Timmins Total 1, 281 According to figures received from Ottawa this week there were 1,281 raâ€" dio licenses issued for the town of Timâ€" mins up to the end of January this year. That means on the basis of the population here, there is approximately ons=radio license for every twelve peoâ€" ple in the town. There are 3170 buildâ€" ings in Timmins so the figures for radio licenses may be put another way, that is, it may be shid that for every five pe:a.r fiflat to the telephones and the autts, may be added the radios. ‘The autos, however, in thg last year or two and Tuesday night; and there is no alternative mode of transit this winter, the roads being impassable for autoâ€"= motive traffic of heavy snowâ€" falls. But our guess is that when the roads are open again in the spring, the C.N.R. might as well leave this train in its stall for ali the passengers they will get between Cochrane and Hearst. There will likely be a bus service beâ€" tween the two towns; and stopping private cars from carrying passengers for pay will be as hard as stopping lcttei'ie-s or bootlegging." day, Wednesday and Friday, arriving at Kapuskasing 8.19 am. and ~‘achrane 1045 am. Running back fr A» Cochâ€" rane as No. 11 at 6.30 p.m. only as far as Kapuskasing on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It will be held in the yards here all night, and started back: to Cochrane at the former hour of 8.19 am. on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. "From the foregoing it will be seen that there will be no train from Kapusâ€" asing to Hearst between Saturday night "There has beer a persistent rumour lately that Nos, 1 and 2 would soon be put back on their old runis, via North Bay and Cochrane to Nakina and wests instead of this being the case, the winâ€" ter of our discontent has been further congealed by the announcement that the present meagre service between Kapuskasing and Hearst is to be made triâ€"weekly instead of daily. It will be worked this way: No. 2 will leave Hearst at the usual hour of 6.15 a.m. on Monâ€" The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasâ€" ing, announces a change in the C.N.R. service west from Cochrane, and is very evidently displeased with the change, and with every valid reason. It seems most unfair and detrimental to the towns along the CNR. This is what The Northern Tribune has to say:â€" â€" "Instructions have been received by W. M. Johnson, local C.N.R. agent, that a change in train service between Cochrane and Hearst.will go into effect on Sunday, Feb. 19th. Since transâ€" continental trains Nos. 1 and 2 were taken off this line, passenger train serâ€" vice between Cochrane and Hearst has been.confined to trains Nos. 11 and 12, operating six days a weer and omitting Sunday. Naturally, there has been no transcontinental traffic, because there was only a: semiâ€"weekly mixed . train service between Hearst and Nakina where connection could be made with the reâ€"routed Nos. 1 and 2 for Winniâ€" peg and west thereof. Mail and exâ€" press as well as passengers have all had to go around via Sudbury and North Bay, with the consequence that letter mail from Winnipeg to Kapusâ€" kasing was four days in transit, and newspapers even more. Changes in Train Service on the National Railway Last year there were 15.320 licenses was shot by Johnston, the "mad trapâ€" per," on the borders of the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Several outâ€" standing flights had also been made by the personnel of Canadian Airways and its constituent companies. They unâ€" dertodk the major part of the filying in that were formerly thought to be inâ€" accessible." Another field in aviation lay in aerial prospecting, said the speaker. With small and cheap machines, it was posâ€" sible to fly over country and cross out large areas that were known to be nonâ€" metallic rock. The prospector on foot spent half his time traversing this type of ground in order to reach his objecâ€" tive. Where timber or overâ€"burden was not tco heavy, it was possible to cut aown this travelling time by the use of aeroplanes. Aviation, therefore, had done much to open up mineral areas for production in less time than would cthér'wise have been taken. â€"Aeroplanes aerial surveys which were meeting with favour in mining communities. No month passes the underâ€" taking of ambulance flights, said Mr. Scott. These numbered six or eight a month. Sick and injured, women in childâ€"birth, were being brought from remote areas to points where they could receive medlcal attention. Notable was the flight last winter of a Canadian Arctic coast to the site of the north magnetic pole. said Mr. Scott. "The Dominion‘s air transportation business is so far just in the introductory phase. With volume of business, increased pay loads, lower maintenance and cheaper power, transportation of anything in the line of mining will present no real problem. Areas will be brought into production ways service, these were being replaced by allâ€"metal singleâ€"engine Junkers with a 50 per cent. increase in payâ€" load capacity. One Junkers machine now in use has a payâ€"load capacity of 6,000 pounds. "In my opinion, this represents the real future of bulk transportation to Canada‘s hinterland mining areas," "Flying in relation to mining in Canâ€" ada really began in 1926 when freight and passengers were flown from Haileyâ€" bury to the present site of Noranda," said the "In the same year, Western Canada Airways, now merged with Canadian Airways Ltd., started a service from Hudson into Red Lake where the Howey Gold Mine is now located." At the time, the Fokker Standartd with a 220â€"horsepower engine, similar to the one used by Lindbergh in his transâ€"Atlantic flight, was in use in Canada‘s mining area in addition to the Fairchild machine with the same type of engine. Both had a payâ€"load of 600 to 800 pounds: These had been replaced by machines that carry 1,200 pounds on skiis or wheels and 1,000 Tracing the history of aviation in its relationship to Canada‘s mining indusâ€" try, Mr. Scott recalled the first expediâ€" tion by air when the Imperial Oil Comâ€" pany arranged for a flight to Fort Norman in the Mackenzie River area. Landing at Fort Simpson in March, 1921, the two Germanâ€"made machines broke through the ice and smashed their propellers. Undaunted, however, the pilots â€"oakâ€" sleighâ€"boards from the Hudson‘s Bay officials, manuâ€" factured their own glue, improvised propellers, and flew back to civilization without mishap where new propellers were obtained. milling operations commence next summer, all supplies will be brought in by air and all gold will be brought out by the same means of transportation. The development will prove an allâ€"air gold mine." For many years, this type of work had also been carried by Canadian Airways for the Howey Gold Mine. Bomething along the same line was being undertaken by Ventures Limited on Island Lake in Northern Manitoba. Mining men treated. air transportation as a matter of course and the mining industry had proved a tremendous inâ€" centive to aviation, Canada through its large areas lending itself to this transâ€" portation development. enterprises, said Mr. Scott, taking in engineers, workers, and suppliese and bringing out gold.© "We are now engagâ€" ed in the transportation of over. 300 tons of mill equipment to the Central Patricia Gold Mine in Northern Onâ€" tario, 100 miles north of the raiiroad. Part of the equipment is being taken in by means of sleighs and tractors at the present time but, in the summer, only aeroplanes can be used. When Mining and Aviation Helped Each Other of aviation, W. Alan Scott, special reâ€" presentative at Toronto of Canadian Airways Limited, told approximately 200 members of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and the Onâ€" tario Prospectors‘ Associatioon in conâ€" vention at Toronto this week that mineral areas had been brought into production by aviation in parts of Canâ€" ada that were hithert> thought to be inaccessible. If the standard types of mining mill machinery were built in smaller units, there would be no obstacle in transâ€" porting machinery to Canadian mineral areas where there were no railroad facilities, said the speaker. He sugâ€" gested the reâ€"designing of this equipâ€" ment, maintaining that the work would open up vast areas whose production would prove a valuable contribution to Canada‘s working wealth. Paying a double tribute to the large part that Canadian aviation has playâ€" ed in the development of this counâ€" try‘s mining industry and, conversely, to the large part which the mining inâ€" dustry has played in the advancement Brought into Production by Aviaâ€" ticn.

Harju denied the alleged offence and said Alaiso was not at the shack on January 27. He swore that, previous to this charge, and after he had been conâ€" victed by Magistrate Atkinson and givâ€" en suspended sentence in the first case, Alaiso had threatened him and also had struck ‘him three times with his hand. Jealously over a woman was suggested as a motive. "But this was denied by Harju. At Haileybury on Monday of this week a year at hard labour was the sehtence imosed by Judge Hartman, on Toivo Harju, three years out from his native Finland, who was convicted on a charge of assaulting Waino Alaiso in a camp the pair had occupied together, about a mile and a half from Kirklanc Harju, 30 years of age and married, has a wife and four children in Finland and Crown Attorney F. L. Smiley, K.C., asked that the court recommend deporâ€" tation for the prisoner on completion of his sentence. It developed that Harju was out on suspended sentence and on bond for a previous conviction involving an assault on Alaiso. The story unfolded in court related that Harju was alleged to have struck Alaiso on January 27 last with what the latter termed "some kind of steel weapon," while Alaiso was entering the shack apparently to obtain some of his Toronto Mail and Empire:~â€"â€"A prohiâ€" bitionist leader says that a fight is ragâ€" ing over drink.
