Bishop Anderson gave a resume of his pastoral visit to the far northâ€"east secâ€" tion of his dicocese, completing the visit of this part of the diocese by plane. Formerly it took Bishop Anderson three months to cover this part of his dioâ€" cese, but by the use of the plane it was done even more effectively this year in nine days. Brief reference was made in The Adâ€" vancelast week to the oratorial comâ€" petition held at Cochrane by the A.Y. P.A.‘s of the district, but more detailed inforthation is now to hand.

CONTRACT FOR DRILLING AT THE CLEAKR LAKE PORCUPINE ANCE, TTMMTNS, ONTARIO Joseph Lalonde, a settler in Villemonâ€" tel, near Rouyn, was fatally injured last week by the discharge of one of his rifles, and died as a result of the injury received. He had two rifies leaning against the wall and in picking up one he caught it accidentally in the sling of the other riflie. The latter rifie tumbled against him and discharged, the bullet piercing his chest. He died a short time afterwards. ribs and also other injuries, Since then Mrs. Reasbeck has been able to return home from New Liskeard and is now at her home, 56 Bannerman aveâ€" nue, where she is making good recovery from her injuries. A welcome so thoughtful and so kindly was given on Sunday to the new settlers in the Lonely River district in Northwestern Quebec that it is worthy of special mention. About 3,000 people from Noranda and Rouyn, led by Rev. Fr. Leroux, made a p:lgrimage on Sunâ€" day thirtyâ€"five miles out to where the new settlers had taken up their homeâ€" steads. The day was spent in getting acquainted with the new settlers and welcoming them to the country. Mass was celebrated on the shores of Lonely River. It was an irapressive occasion for all and it is certain that the settlers will never forget it. The settlers are some of those placed back on the land by the Dominion and provincial govâ€" ernments. Dinner and supper were served to the immense crowd through arrangements made by Rev. Fr. Leroux and his friends. The happy day for all was spent on the banks of the Lonely River, which for the day at least was far from true to its name. Some of the settlers, indeed, suggest the changâ€" ing of the name to that of the Friendly River. "At any rate," one is reported to have said, "if you still call it the Lonely River, you should at least call it the Friendly Country." Reference was made last week in The Advance to the accident near New Lisâ€" keard on July lst in which Mrs. Wm. Reasbeck, of Timmins, was badly hurt. Not only Mrs. Reasbeck suffered seriâ€" ous injuries in this motor accident, but ner husband, Wm. Reasbeck, of Timâ€" mins, and their little boy, Edward, who were also in the car on the trip, were both injured, though not so seriously hurt as Mrs. Reasbeck. Mr. Reasbeck had a bad cut on his head from the crash. Dr. McCullough, of New Lisâ€" keard, had to put in five stitches to close the wound on Mr. Reasbeck‘s head. The little boy was also cut on the head and had his face bruised. The doctor attended to him, but both Mr. Reasbeck and Edward were able to return to ‘Timmins that night by train. Mrs. Reasbeck had to remain at the New Liskeard hospital where it was found she was suffering from three broken WELCOME GIVEN BY ROUYVN TO SETTLERS 35 MILES AWAY The men were employed with a govâ€" ernment gang on the Cartierâ€"Levack road in Cascaden township.

All Members of Timmins Family Hurt on July 1st Doherty and O‘Gorman had been with about 10 other men. They had run on ahead of the pair as the storm broke. A native of Ireland, Doherty had livâ€" ed around Sudbury for eight years, and was previously employed with the Acme Timber Co. He was not married and his family reside in the Old Country.

T boldly stated, the situation. «Of "unemployment allowance" is the term used instead of charity, but that is what it amounts to. How much or how little is given in return for the labour does not seem to be germane to the questicn. Of course the men can« not be expected to do hard manual labour for:long hours when their food supplies are not up to standard but there is nothing very "driving" about the way they are forced to work for the city. In fact a great deal of‘ this soâ€"called relief work is work in narme only therefore this "strike" seems to be a bit overdrawn. The city is under no legal obligation to pay out this relief or to employ these men but is doing it because of the extraordinary situat.ion that has arisen in the land. The views of many of the city aldermen are that the men should work at a stated rate of pay per hour to pay back what they get in terms of labour. That to our mind is the most sensible answer to the whole trouble after all, but the government so far has taken a differâ€" ent view and in fact e government is Ja.ngely responsnblef T. this. trouble here. If some of the cab het ministers would keep out of the question it would be better for all concerned. The govâ€" ernment says it is paying eighty per cent. of the cost but it really isn‘t for the cities have to pay administration costs, and anyway the money eventualâ€" ly comes out of the poackets of the citiâ€" zens of the province as a whole, so that it matters little who poses as the Santa Claus for the men. What with strikâ€" ers for charity without working and strikes looming up over rates of pay that are still higher than that paid to the average, the individual, who‘is working along on a small wage tryng to make ends meet, sometimes wonders whether he «is merely a fool for his pains, and that is a state of mind that is likelyito bear unexpected fruit. It is thse wageâ€" earners, who while their earnings are small, but who do pay their way, who are paying for these others who do not work and who in many cases do not want to work and woh‘t unless they have to. Several places have had trouble already in forcing men on relief to‘take jobs and the patience of those doing the paying is wearing thin.

About Selling on Sunday and Sunday Law Revision (From North Bay Nugget) Toronto has been more or less "boiled up" over the question of selling ice cream on Sunday, the same as North Bay was a few weeks ago, on much the same question. The upshot of it was, that charges laid against vendors for selling ice cream on Sunday were disâ€" missed by the magistrate. While it is undoubtedly an offence against an ancient law to sell ice cream on Sunday Winnipeg Tribune:â€"News that Oreâ€" gon fishermen are wearing tin boots to protect themselves against rattlesnake bites probably will come as a big surâ€" prise to many fishermen who have alâ€" ways thought a quart of bourbon in. those parts offered the best protection. or anything else, for that matter, other than a select list of necessities, the act of the Toronto magistrate is more reaâ€" sonable than the law. If selling ice creainâ€" is to be an offence, then there should be a general tightening down on the sale of many things. For inâ€" stance, no one can say that the unâ€" controlled sale of gasoline, motor Oil, hot dogs and so on, is necessary in the sense of the law relating to travellers. for most of the "travelling‘"‘ on Sundays in cars is for pleasure only.. Then to3, there is no fairness in the law enforceâ€" ment on this point, for while some cities make it a point to see that n9 ice cream is sold on Sundays, there is no control of the refreshment places on the highways, operating under provinâ€" cial licenses. That has always been a sore point in that it worked out as disâ€" crimination against the city merchants, and for that matter against the citizen who did no have a car as against the one who did. The whole imbroglio suggests the need of some common sense revision of cour Sunday laws to fit modern day conditions. At present, there is a tacit violation of the law by thousands of retailers the province over, a condition that can be changed whenâ€" ever a police officer or other law enâ€" forcement officilal cares to start a cleanâ€" up. h from UOtltawa shoulid _ De o parsâ€" ar :nterest:â€" tawa, July 9.â€"The strong upward of the British pound and the ked advance of the Canadian dolâ€" n relation to New York funds durâ€" ‘he past week has been greeted with usiasm in Government . circles. .

Timmins was never nosiy or unruly town, but the last six weeks or so the qu.etness in the late evening and early morning hours is noteworthy even for Timimins. . This seems to be reflected in the police court. A couple of weeks ago there was no regular police court held. Last week the docket was @ light one.. This week it is also notable for the fact that there are only a few cases and none of them very serious. There were only eleven cases on the list for Tuesday‘s court. One of the eleven cases was withdrawn ; two were dismissed; and two others were remanded for a week. This left only half a dozen cases to draw any penalty. â€" Probably the most serious case was that of Simeon Russell, chargâ€" ed by [Provincial Constable Aiex Craik with keeping liquor for sale. Russell was given a term of three months at Haileybury.. One charge of jthe comâ€" mon or garden variety of drunkenness brought the ordinary fine of $10.00 and costs, while another drunk charge was withdrawn. A charge against, a Barâ€" ber‘s Bay man of having liquor illegally was dismissed. The chief line of cases was in conâ€" nection with the infraction of the Highâ€" way Traffic Act. A Kirby avenue man for speeding was fined $10.00 and costs. He was travelling in the town at a rate said to exceed 45 miles per hour. Anâ€" cther charge of speeding . against a Ssouth Porcupine man was remanded for a week. The ‘charge of reckless driving against John Marleau, who has been remanded from week to week for several weeks, was finally dismissed Tuesday. A Cedar street man ‘was charged with breach of a town byâ€"law through being disorderly. ~He was fined $1000 and costs. An interesting case was called at Tuesday‘s court but was remanded unâ€" til next week. This was a charge against a local citizen that "not being duly licensed as an insurance agent, broker or adjustor, representfii or holds himself out to the public as being such an insurance agent, broker or adjusâ€" ter, or as being engaged in the insur â€" ance business, by means of : advertise- ments, cards, â€" circulars, letterheads, signs or other methods, contrary to the Ontario Insurance Act, RS.O. 1927, Chapter 222, Section‘ 266." ‘This case will likely create more than the usual interest when and if it comes to trial here.

Under any name they gave it up last week when they voted 52 to 41 to act reasonably. The North Bay council and the rateâ€" payers have been worrying for some time over the direct relief burden. Reâ€" cently it was felt that some work must be given by those on relief. The men last Wednesday proposed that work should be only a day and a half or two days weekly for the relief received . Council asked three days‘ work but was willing to accept two days as that seemâ€" ed to be favoured by the Minister in charge at Toronto. The men only put in a day and a half last week and then quit work. Council insisted on the two days‘ work in return for the relief exâ€" tended. and vouchers were not forthâ€" coming for those who had refused to work. Then the men declared a strike, The council stayed firm and in Friday the men saw sense and agreed to the council‘s terms. In the meantime, howâ€" ever the men say they will carry the matter to the Government at Toronto.
