Funeral Nuctdr EPHONNE 800 Avi OPEN DAY AN'D NIGHT First indication that the Ethiopian quarrel was of more than local interâ€" est came in January this year. France gave Italy a bit of East Africa, pointâ€" ing toward the Sudan and Ethiopia. It also gave Mussolini .a small portion of French Somaliland to the north of Djibouti, and a half interest in the railway to Addis Ababa. That was taken to méan French approval of Mussolini‘s claim for rsom to expand. Unhappily for France, Italy‘s threats against Ethiopia are threats against a member of the League or Nations, and France looks to the League as her best protection against Germany. Thereâ€" fore, she is alarmed by Italy‘s militarâ€" istic manner. And Ethiopla refused. It appealed to the League of Naâ€" tions for arbitration. Italy countered by charging that Ethiopia got into the League in 1923 by false pretences, proâ€" mising, but réfusing to stop traffic in slaves and border warfare. Now, after months of â€"debate, the League appedrs powerless. Italy has reported new attacks and has prepared a huge army. Britain, guardian of the Nile rive, whose source is Lake Tana in Ethiopia, has treaty with Ethiopia promising not to interfere with tne headwaters of the river. France has a treaty alâ€" lowing it to maintain the only railâ€" way into the Ethiopian interior. But Italy has nothingâ€"nothing but a great population at home and a great trade deficit, both of which must be overâ€" come if Mussolini is to continue as dictator. an apology and an indemnity of $100,â€" For many years Italy, France and Britain have been neighbours to Ethicâ€" pia. All have been bothered by lawless tribesmen raiding across the frontier. Why did they not ah go to war? Joe Patcovitch, ‘of Kirkland Lake, was committed for trial last week by Magistrate Atkinson after a prelimninâ€" ary hearing at. Kirkland Lake, on serious charge in connection with an assault upon â€"a fourâ€"yearâ€"old child. Evidence offered by the crown from a doctor, the child‘s mother and other occupants of the ‘house was sufficient to secure the committal for trial by a higher court. HELD FOR HIGH COURT ON SERIOUS CRIMINAL CHARGE One after another, the nations of the world have found no matter how much they might wish for peace, the shots firsd at Wal Wal last November have wakened a host of furies. Little does it matter that Italy justifies her acts by reciting a series of outrages extending over 40 years. France and Britain have suffered the same without going to war. Btut France and Britain have colonies and Italy has none. "Civilization must adyano*’!” cries Mussolini. Far on the other side of the world, Japan, which first showed that the League cannot prevent the strong atâ€" wfifir weak, protests her, lack tate interest, whfle her tradesmen try to conceal their annoyâ€" ance. Japan, like Italy, overâ€"populated and looking for trade, meant to annex Ethiopia by peaceful methods. Merâ€" chants and farmsrs, she hoped, would fing an everâ€"growing welcome. But it Ethiopia becomes part of Italy, that plan will not work. modern Roman Empire, took the B:riâ€" tith efforts to prevent war as a plece of interference.

The survey to be made by Dr. James, however, may completely alter the picâ€" ture, and as in the case of other proâ€" Recent work at the Ashley mine in l the Matachewan area has not been enâ€" ' couraging. The faulting of the vein has resulted in a condition that is not proâ€" mising for the future of the property. However, the management is not conâ€" tent simply to let it go at that. Acâ€" cording to word from Elk Lake Dr. W. F. James, consulting geologist, has been employed by the Ashley Gold Mining Co. to make a thorough invesâ€" tigation of the property, so that inâ€" telligent decision may be made in reâ€" gard to the matter of further exploraâ€" tion and development work. According to Elk. Lake despatches the ore reâ€" serves at the Ashley are rapidly being depleted, and present indications are that the life of the mine may not exâ€" tengq far into 1936. The main ore body has faulted twice, the second fault cutting it off at the 625â€"foot depth. All efforts to find the ore again have been unavailing, although the search has been carried on both extensively and expensively over a wigh of conâ€" siderably more than 1,000 feet. On the strike of the ore close exploration has been done for a length of 2,000 feet without finding extension or repetiâ€" tion. Ore reserves, which were 31,000 tons at January 1 last, were cut down to 21,000 tons June 30. At this rate of exhaustion they could last but six months, for the milling rate is 3,500â€" 4,000 tons a month. In clearing out a mine, patches of ore are usually found beyond ore reserve dimensions, so the Ashley may carry on a little while longer than the tonnage figures would indicate. Geologist to Make Survey of Ashley Ore Deposit Has Faulted and Dr. W. F. James is to Investigate Matachewan Property A. J. Brant, Government Road, Kirkâ€" land Lake, some days ago wrote the Teck township council asking them to pay for reâ€"painting the bathroom in his apartment house. The wall had to be reâ€"painted on account of a lewd picture drawn on it. Mr. Brant acâ€" cused one of the Teck township police of drawing this bad picture. The council thought the police could not draw, as good nor as bad as the picâ€" ture. The police committee of Teck township is investigating, however. Bruce Williams, K.C., said a similar picture, or a worse one, had been found on the wall of the building where his office is located. He did not think, however, that any policeman would go any such thing. He blamed it on lowâ€" minded youths in town.

Each fall the flocks seem smaller, and if one looks backs a d:â€" cade or more the shrinkage is alarming. Canadians were wont to view the situâ€" tion with hopelessness and to point out that annual slaughter in the United States was responsible. American gunâ€" ners outnumbered their Canadian conâ€" freres ten to one, and in some states the laws, too wide open in any case, were broken with impunity. One heard tales of ducks slain at long range by small cannon and of commercial clubs, where, on payment of a fat fee, hunters could now down birds which had been lured there en masse by copious grain feeding. The United States has of late years, however, been seriously concerned about the possible extinction of the duck supply. Ever since the passage of the international <migratory bird agreement with Canada, U.S. conservaâ€" tionists have been in touch with Canaâ€" dian officials for the majority of wild ducks nest in Canada. In this conâ€" nection the breeding area maps drawn by Mr. P. A. Traverner, chief ornitholoâ€" gist of the Canadian National Museum, Ottawa have played a part. The maps quite dissipate the comfortable cld beâ€" lief that the vast mass of ducks nested in some uninhabited region of the far north. They show, in fact, that the choicest: varieties ‘nest in farming secâ€" tions of the American northwestern states and in the Canadian prairie country. Black ducks are practically the only good variety breeding in Onâ€" tario and Quebec. Pintails, mallards, teal, widgeon, shovellers, blueâ€"bills great and small, redheads and canvasâ€" backs rear their young in the west wheje sattlement, drainage schemes and drought have made serious inroads on their feeding and nesting grounds. To arrive at his decision Director Darling had a wild duck census taken by conservation agents and helpful sportsmen all over the United States. This census was made on one day last February just prior to the general norâ€" thern flight of wild ducks from the far south.‘ The censusâ€"takers posted themâ€" selves on bays, rivers and dakes in such manner as to avoid counting the same ducks twice. Against the rough tally thus taken the survey checked later reâ€" ports from northern breeding grounds. J. N. (Ding) Darling, the wellâ€" known cartoonist, who is now Director Darling, of the U.S, Biological Survey, lately drew up a new law calculated to preserve the remnant of the wild duck population. â€" President Roosevelt has affixed his signature to a law, which while it does not close the season for ducks in 1935, contains most stringent regulations. In a nationâ€"wide effort to stem the tide of extermination, the United States Government has set aside large areas for duckâ€"nesting purposes and though the Canadian provinces conâ€" tinue to make their individual game laws, the American Federal Governâ€" ment now makes the wild duck regulaâ€" tions for the entire United States. This year American investigators into the duck supply visited parts of Canada and conferred with our fish and game cfficials. Irrespective of what Canada might do, Washington backed by strong public opinion, seriously considered a close season for ducks for the enâ€" tire: US. ew United States Rules and Regulations Helps 24,000,000 Ducks.

In| the southern zone from Nov. 20th to Dec. 198th. h Queried as to why the new law mads no total seasonal bag limit per man for ducks and geese, Director Darling clared that it would be impossible to makea check to that effect, and that the daily bag restriction practically cutting the bag in two, plus other reâ€" strictions, were drastic enough, Reâ€" marking that Canada had been inclined to consider the United States dilatory in game protection, Directer Darling remarked, "We certainly have done our part this year and it is up to Canada to go along." George Landers, 84. years of age, died some days ago at the Lady Minto hosâ€" pital at Cochrane from injuries receivâ€" ed a few weeks ago when he stepped in front a C.N.R. freight train near Frederickhouse. He sustained a comâ€" pound fracture of one arm and other injuries that were serious. It is posâ€" sible that a younger man might have survived the injuries, but despite all Escaped Man Faces Murder Charge Now INJURIES PROVE FATAL TO AGED. COCHRANE GENTLEMAN John Melnick faces a charge of murâ€" der following the death of another prisoner at Burwash farm on Aug. 21st. On that night Alex Bachuk was found dead in the planing mill at the farm, having apparently besn stabbed several times with a knife or other sharp inâ€" strument that had pierced the brain. Melnick was the last man seen with Bachuk but in the meantime Melnick escaped from Burwash. It was seven days before he was reâ€"captured. He was seen last Thursday night on the C.N.R. tracks at Bayswater, a few miles from Burwash. During his few days at liberty, Melnick lost considerâ€" able weight and was easily reâ€"taken. At first he was inclined to make break for liberty when the guards found him, but a few shots fired over his head induced him to halt. Melnick is of Polish stock, and 46 years of age. The killing of Bachuk is said to have been done with a weapon fashioned out of a keyhole saw, filed into a sharp blade, and with a wooden handle atâ€" tached. This weapon has not yet been traced to any prisoner at Burwash, nor is there any motive known yet why Bachuk should be attacked.
