He had an unusual grasp of mining and municipal law, while his knowledge of general civil and erim- inal jurisprudence was remarkable. He was very modest, however, in his use of his extensive reading of law and its technicalities. It was as a pleader that the was most in his elem- ent. He had the happy knock of bring ing out the best in his client and mak- ing the most of his side of the case that {eldom failed to find sympathy.

Either the Gqvermuent must play the game fairly or the North Land will be set back ten years in development. M PLEASANT SOCIAL EV’G. AT CALEDONIAN SOCIETY is serious. They knew that the at- titude even in such countries as Mexico was a much fairer one than this. They were willing to take a chance on their money, but they wanted a chance to win. They feared that the Government that badly risk- ed the life and dlrture of the mining industry . simply that farmers and other southern interests should escape taxation was not a Government to rely upon. They made it quite clear that their capital would not come this way until either there was a new and better Government or the present Go- -\'ermnent changes to a new and better frame of mind. to interest outside capital. realizing that only through the aid of outside capital can these properties be pro- perly developed. Modern mining takes a lot of capital to carry along to a genuine success. The local man was eventually sueeessful in interesting a number of Pittsburg capitalists. They were more than interested; they were. ready to investigate, and then invest. A well-known engineer was secured to make a report on the properties. His report was; very favourable and the deal uvas practically closed, when the eapualists learned of the attitude of the Ontario Government as evid- oneed by the proposed increase in the mining tax and the fact that in thus hardening the mining industry the Government in eli'eet is saying "We don't care a snap for the min- in":,: industry or the North Lusl,---we need the money and that is all we can see."

This hockey league should not be forced to deal with southern Intermediates in the semi-. finals. The south should attend to its own intermediates. The Cham- pions of the N.().II.A. should meet the Champions of tyne ().II.A. on some thing like equal terms. The N.0.H.A. brand of hockey has earned this fair mushlomtion. Now is the time. for all good hookey fans In get busy with the m1 in View Itilyi .rt'ltr Ille DUO ti t'll'illlPPL' were Hut lulped any by the same extra L'zmw. The proper procedure would be for the N.L)cll.A. to play off until this league secures its own final cham- plum. the east and west leagues doing the same, and the O.H.A, being under the. same rules. Then let games he ar- ranged to decide the final honours. The real champions of each section would thus have equal chance. Whether the finals should be homo and home games, or all held in To- ronto is a matter for further con- sideration. But the present plan of playing off has certainly outlived its usefulness. The NU.H.A. has de- veloped too strongly for a continu- ance of the old plan. Next season, if the progress and de- velopment of the N.0.H.A. is to con- tinue, greater attention must be paid to intermediate and junior hockey in the North Land. The future of all hockey of course rests with the ju- niors and intermediates. From these ranks will be recruited the hockey stars of future hockey. The N.O.H.A. next your should give particular at- tention to the Juniors and the Inter- mediates. The present Secretary of the N.().H.A. showed by his address at the banquet here to the Son team that he was fully seized of this. fact. apparently. In the N.().II.A. chaur. pions are expected to play olt with Iiitei'iiimi-ivaies, why should Brandon not be similarly treated 'l ()f vourse, no one would think there was any sense in putting up such " piopositioa to Brandon. Neither is there sense or fairness in so handicapping the N. ().H.A. eham-pions whoever they may be. As The News points out Sud- bury's chanecs were hurt dust year by having to go up against the Inter- mediates before playing; the seniors. This year the Soo's chances were not, helped any by the same extra Atuurrrdiny:ly ".J‘n' is a good time and plrw lo urge that next year the N.

Recently the Sudbury News carried a thing article on the question, and with the thoughts and aims of this article most ot' the hoekey enthw. siasts will give hearty agreement. The News believes. as does The Advance, that next year the N.O.H.A. and the O.H.A. should each seleet their fiaat champion teams for hockey honours. The N.0.tl.A. team should not be ex- peeted to play O.H.A. Intermediates or other teams, but should be allowed to face the regular O.H.A. champions. In the last two seasons it has been clearly shown that the Intermediates are not any more in the N.O.H.A. class than they are in the ().H.A. champion class. Sudlsury last year and the Soo this year showed how much they excelled t'he. Intermediate hockey. If it is replied that they were. not in Varsity class, it can be responded that neither was Brandon apparently. In the N.(J.ll.A, cham- ().li.A. he givcn a the (LEA. in like honours.
