If this wuz judgment day and you wuz no s S YS WE:’RE ON OUR WAY" The following is from the last issue of The Powassan News. The Powassan News and The Burks‘ FPalls Arrow often take a fall out of each other. It this sase The Powassan Editor heads his ‘tem,, ‘"We‘re on Our Way." Here is the article from The News, which in-\ sludes the one from The Arrow:â€" The editor of the Burks Falls Arrow had the good fortune to attend the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto recently,| and upon being informed by the presiâ€" dent of the fair that there was no reâ€" presentative of The Powassan News present, he began to worry so much over the tribulations of his brother editor that he had a dream that same night in which the nightmare became confused with the Powassan mayor, and here is the interpretation as it appeared in The Arrow last week: THE POWASSAN EDITOR and set the injured limb in weoden splints. Mr. MoArthur at first, io doubt, was inclined to put the bird out of suffering, but against this was the fact that she felt it would recover and in any case it was the close season for partridge. When the hunter sh:t the bird recently he had no idea it was any different from any other partridge. It was flying naturally and easily and was so little affected apparently ‘by its "wooden leg" that the hunter did not nctice that it had splints or any other handicap. â€" Evidently the bird made complete recovery from the broken leg, but course could not remove the splints and so ‘became accustomed to them, training itself to‘ move around with the "wooden leg." wouid seem also that the partridge appreciated the care given it for it stayed on in the lozality. It was shot at a spot absut two miles from the place where Mr. McArthur set the broken leg. Near South Magnetawan recently a hunter on retrieving a partridge he had shot found that the bird might be said to sport a wooden leg. At any rate the bird had splints attached to each side of the leg and it was easy to see that they were there thr:ugh human agency and not by work of nature. It is beâ€" lieved that this was the same bird found two years ago by J. M. McArâ€" thur, of South Magnetawan, who noted that the partridge had a broken leg PARTRIDGE SHOT WAS FOUND i TO CARRY A WOODEN LEG The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "Last week a number of ratepayers in Moneta held a mesting to discuss the annexation of the townsite to Timmins. In view of the long delay in the proâ€" ceedings to annex Moneta, there has been some dissatisfaction created. The people of Moneta expected by this timz to have water for fire protection purâ€" poses at least. It has been impossible for Timmins to do anything for them until the townsite is formally a part of the town. In the recent election here the Moneta people had no vote as the section was â€"not legally part of the town. Other disadvantages from their present situation have naturally added to the dissatisfaction caused â€" by the long delay. The people of Moneta can not be blamed for feeling annoyed at the slowness and redâ€"tape that keeps the annexation hanging fire. At the same time, it is only fair to state that :o one locally is to blame for the preâ€" sent delay. All concerned have done all possible to speed up procsedings. The matter, however, rests altogether now with the Railway and Mumcxpal\ Board, and until that body moves nothing further can be done locally. The meeting last week attracted quite a number of ratepayers but no definite action was taken. As a matter of fact it is understocd that there is nothing that can be done in the matter locally. It is too late f5r cpposition to the anâ€" nexation to be considered, a set date having been announced (Nov. 7th) as the final day for any representatives to be heard.

There had been phenomenal development at the ‘property in a short time. A. R. Globe, formerly assistant manager of the Hollinger, was in charge at the Night Hawk Peninsular Mine.

Some of the com-{ panies cwning pulp or paper mills may equal the supply held at Monteith by the Hawk Lake Lumber Co., but it is dowbtful if there are many other piles of 25,000 cords at any one place, »xcept on the property of companies with pulp or paper mills in operation." picking up messages sent from Edgaâ€" water Beach Hotel, Chicago, to Dr. Mcâ€" Millan, and on two occasions claims to have heard answers from the McMillan party, although these were not very distinct. ‘These messages, Mr. Russell states, usually come through bettween midnight and 1 a.m. For a number of years The Advance has been interested in the use of radio in the North Land.
