There is a possibility of a new Scout Troop being formed in South Poreuâ€" pine. At a meeting held at the home cf Mr. J. Andrews on Tuesday night a group ¢f enthusiastic members of the United Church met to discuss this idea t has been felt that something deâ€" finite should be done for the youth of the town directly under the auspices of the United Church, but while Trail Rangers and Tuxis Boys groups were thought of, it seemed better that the existing organization of Boy Scouts should be augmented, and coâ€"operation with such an existing body met with approval. Therefore a council, consistâ€" ing of Dr. Fraser, Mr. R. S. McWilâ€" liams. Mr. J. R. Andrews and Dr. Atâ€" kinsen will be formed and will directly undertake to sponsor a second Boy scout Troop in Scuth Porcupine. Rodâ€" ney Hainss, with Fred Andrews and: Crawford Smythe, will act in coâ€"operaâ€" tion with the csuncil as leaders. This treap will be under the same rules, laws, etc., as the Scouts, the only difference being in the personnel of the council. Police Court At Tuesday‘s police court here, four drunks lhad to pay $10 fine and costs eacth, and two, for drinking in a public place, paid $25 and costs. One assault case was withdrawn, one yas adjourned and the other took up the time of the court, resulting in a fine of $50 and costs. A young Woman testified that she was accosted by defendant on the pubâ€" lis street. She resented the attention and told the man she would call the pclice. Upsn which he struck her so severe a blow in the face that medical attenticn was necessary. Dr. Smith‘s evidence was that had the blow been near the eye it would have resuited in a "black eye." The man protested that he only said "hellc" to the girl and that she slipped on the walk and fell, the facial injuries occurring thereby. The magistrate was skeptical.

New Securities Act Unfair (From Northern News) Quite an extraordinary piece of legislation and one which escaped newspaper attention in the hubbubd which occurred over the repeal of the amendment on school taxes is tha* known as "No. 110, Bill, an Act to Amend the Securitie Act." On the faze of it it might be thought to affect merely the sale of securities, and to give added and needed powers t the Securities Commission in conâ€" trolling mining and other promotion. But close scrutiny reveals that tne measure, passed in the dying hours of the session, confers upon the commIsâ€" sicn and anyone whom it may name as its representative powers equivalent to those of secret police and practically abolishes the rights of a person Susâ€" pected of wrongâ€"dsing to appeal to the law of the land and the public courts. The measure provides that: 5.â€"(1) Subsecticn 1 of section 10 of the Securities Act, 1930, is repealed and the following substituted therefor: (1) The Commission or any person or persons to who mas its representaâ€" tive or representatives it may in writing delegate such authority may into the affairs of any person or Comâ€" pany and int>o any books, papers, docuâ€" ments, statements, _ correspondence, cocmmunications, negotiations, transacâ€" tions, investments, loans, borrowings and payments of, by, on behalf of, or in relation to or connected with any such person cr company, and into any proâ€" perty, asset or thing owned, acquired or alienated, in whole or in part, by such person cr company or by any perâ€" son acting on behalf of, or as agent for such person or company, in order to ascertain whether,â€" ‘ (3) The said section 10 is further ,,.mended by adding thereto the followâ€" »’inc'subsections ..... 1 2 00 a~a k6 2Ain anulke, Ccr company over any other person or ‘company; or any fraud upon the Government of Ontaric or any department of the Gzovernment of Ontario or any municiâ€" pality; has been, either before or after the coming into fortce of this Act, is, or is likely to be committed.

There is 2 possibility that there will be more than just the six teams, but this will be established definitely at the meeting. Families Driven from Home by Floods in Some Seeâ€" tions. Six Feet of Water. word yesterday from North Bay told' of the worst floods in the history of| that city. There were parts of the c1tyl where six feet of water covered roads and Ilots and poured into cellars. In some sections people had to> abandon their homes. In a half a dozen or more cases the water level reached above the first ficors of houses. Two schools in North Bay, St. Rita‘s and St. de Uaul, had to be closed on Tuesday. on azscdunt of the flcads. While colder weather would have the effect of hai;â€" ing some of the rush of water, the cold weather is also feared because it would mean that some householders would be unable to get back to their â€"omes for ssme time on account of the izse that would form, not strong enough to bear weight but solid enough to prove a barrier. The firemen had to rescue at least one family marooned in their home. Some families moved their belongings to higher ground outâ€" side their homes and unfavourable weather will affect these. The floods are caused by the overflowing of pewa Creek. A 24â€"hour rain, aided by water from the bush melting in the warmer recent days caused the Chipâ€" pewa to overflow its banks, sending flisods of water cnto low lying parts of the city.

Matter Now to Be Dealt With by the Quebec Legisâ€" lature The bill granting a charter to Queâ€" tezs Goldfields Transport Company to oonstruct a 250â€"mile railroad line to comnect Quebec‘s northern mining reâ€" gions with existing lines in the South is now ready for the Quebe: Legisliaâ€" ture after being adopted by the Legisâ€" lature‘s railway committee. The committee had discussion on the project for two days, last Wednesday unrd Thursday, during which session an oppcsing brief was heard from the Canadian National Railways. Antoine Rivard, K.C., representing the C.N.R., dsnied the statements of the supporiâ€" ers of the proposed private company that 75 per eent. of the trade and comâ€" merce in Quebe‘s northern mold minâ€" ing fields of Abitibi and Temiscaâ€" mingue originated in Toronto. A recent survey showed that 88 per cent. of all traffi= through C.N.R. pcints in the ~Abitibi district originated in Montreal, Quebec and other industrial centres of this province. That is, the largest moveâ€" ment of traffi: in the new mining and agricultural district, which is inward traffic, takes place within the limits cfi the Provinte of Quebeéec, so much so that the C.N.R. had added three freight trains a week running from Quebec and Montreal. Mr. Rivard cited the $6,000,000 100â€" mile branch line now being constructed from Senneterre to Rouyn to serve Val g‘Or and the newlyâ€"deveioped mining areas of Northwestern Quebet and bring them this autumn in direct conâ€" tact with Montreal and Quebe®. Answering the ac:usation that the Canadian National was diverting to Ontario 75 per cent. of the traffic movâ€" ing out of Abitibi, Mr. Rivard said that official figures showed that 98 per cent. of the traffic given to the C.N.R. in Noranda, Quebec terminal of the T. N. O., is carried over the transâ€" continental and its brantches to Montâ€" real and other Quebec points. The bill went through with a couple ; of amendments, one of which was that|! work must start from Mont Laurierj and Maniwaki and proseed north, thei other specifying construction to start within one year instead of three and! be finished in five years instead of 10.

During an extended debate on where work should Provincial Secâ€" retary Paquette, who represents Labelle in the Legislature, favoured building from Mont Laurier, which is in his constituency. Emile Lesage (Un.â€"Abitiâ€" bi> suggested a compromise by the work starting at both ends simultanâ€" eously. Dr. Paquette, however, argued that Mont Laurier was only 150 miles from Montreal by rail and that maâ€" terials from Montreal and other Queâ€" bes cities could be moved quickly and inexpensively. From the north a detour of 509 or 600 miles wolud be .necessary and there would be the ‘temptation to buy in Ontario. The bill specifies that 98 per cent. of the materials originate in the Proâ€" vinzce of Quebec. j Alexandre Tache (Un.â€"Hull) said that he would rather see the proposed line publicly owned, but if publiclyâ€"owned railways would not build one then it must be developed by private capital. His belief was that the company would nct endure anyhow and that it would be taken over by a big railway in a year or so at a nominal sum.
