ae - p] THE HAILEYBURIAN AND TEMISKAMING MINING JOURNAL Published every Week at the office Main Sreet, Haifeybury. C. C. FARR, Editor and Proprietor SATURDAY, JUNE 8 1912 Ido not pose as a dictarian, but I might suggest, to anything but the anaemic, that the health- iest thing to go to 'bed on,' is good cheese, washed down by good porter or ale, according to taste. ; Iam glad to see the Electric Company getting busy in the matter of straightening out their line of posts, The Telephone Company has to follow suit, in spite of the cost, which, eompar- atively, is trifling. The guest was a_ welcome guest, and he, naturally, asked about the health of the Hostess, She replied that she had just re- covered from a long sickness, "I am so sorry" said he, and then he wondered why a grin went around the table. Isaw in some paper that at some place (It might be North Bay or Sudbury) a great 'chop- suey' banquet was going to be held. I am so glad that the feast was not called on in Hail- eyburv, for after the enforce- ment of this 'rabies' act, dogs have become so scarce, that it would take a millionaire to be able to pay for 'chop-suey.' I was wandering through the streets, asis my wont, when I heard a citizen complain, that --the Denke were all closed. He was told that it was the King's birth-day, Monday June 3rd. Said he, in his wrath. "Why did'nt he get born on a Tuesday? You would think a swell iike that could have managed things better." Alleviate the miseries of the lower animals, for they are und- er our care like ourselves, crea- tures of the Almighty. I cannot understand it. Life, apparently, is too prolific to allow of squea- mishness. We do not know, al- though it hath been said that not even a sparrow falls without the knowledge, and consent. How aboutthe mosquito, the humble louse or bug? For they are creatures, and I would like to know where theline is drawn. Itis too bad that the town authorities, in view of the possi- bility of some of the upper class Englishmen coming here, do not arrange tor 'Polo' grounds, Golf Links, not to mention Croquet Lawns, and places where Lawn Tenniscan be played by those who enjoy that violent form of exercise. The Town should look after this, only, they should set aside a certain sum 'per annum' to support the gentlemen who are playing those games, dressed in immaculate 'flannels.' I flat- ter myself that I havea little pull with the Council and there is where I will put it. We haye got them. We have got them. I always read my Toronto News, for you can rely onitto be true. Still there are various ways of putting things. In a recent issue, I read the heading 'Top Liners at Prison Farm.' I wondered if the Poiice had made a new capture, and I wondered whether they were members of the Automobile gang, the Commora or just com- mon Burglars. Much to my astonishment, I saw a picture of the Duke of Connaught and Hon. Mr. Hanna. I always considered those men, fairly, res- pectable, so you can imagine that I got a shock. There is a kick abroad re- garding the cost of electric light- ing: Sir James Whitney hath done a good thing. in the matter of cheap powar, but the horizon of his vision hadbeen too local. I want that idea of his, extended to the uttermost limits of the Province. Aye, Even of the Dominion. Few people under- stand, the big fight that that man has made. He has fought a- gainst monopolists. He has made the farmer, and others, wha need power,-bless him. He has inaugurated an idea that will be associated with his name, long after he is dead, (if that is any consolation to him,) any more than when my friends say, "Yes. Farr. We will gladly at- tend your funeral." This idea ot the amalgama- tion of Townships should be made to materialise. As a mat- ter of fact, our @wnships are too small, in proportion to the wealth contained in them. Six miles by case of organization Six in makes an incorporated Towa- ship. With all the concomit- ant expense, whereas, twelve by twelve, would be all right, on the basis of population, Such a combination, say of four, should be represented, proportionally, and I would suggest that when Loraine comes into the market, it should associate itself with Bucke and Coleman, thus making a grand whole, for I am of the opinion that surveyors' lines are a nuisance, and a contravention of nature, as evidenced by the natural boundary lines of the European States. There [ touch, again, on the fortyninth parallel and the time might come when we will annex the United States. Iwas wonderfully pleased to meet my old friend, Mr, H. J. Woods, manager for the H. B. Co., at Temagami. Our friend- ship dates from long ago, and it was cementing of that old friendship, this week recalls old reminiscences of the past. Our families are indissolubly connec- ted, by the heart, His mother was truest that woman can be to my mother, And we all know what that is. Mr. Woods has won his way out. He came hcre like myself, with very few gar- ments, but, today, it is said he has more than one shirt. He has made good, and I am glad ot it, for it shows what the good old East Anglian stuff can do. There is a lot of credit coming to Mr. Woods I wish that more men like him would throw off their muorings, and come to Canada. Only mind you. No lazy loater can win out. Ittakes a man, and Harry kas proved himself to be aman, and hence his _ prosper- ity. It is a strange thing how fash- ions getup in the bush. Three yezrs ago, I was in England, and considered, justly, a Colonial. I hada friend with me, whomI happened to meet 'en route,' and Iliked him, for he was a born Canadian, and 'knew the ropes.' As we 'peripateticised' through the Strand, and on to Picadilli, the social lungs of London, from north, south, east and west, (With a great big W, though the west might not admit it,) we passed men wearing straw hats. They were all of the onetype, a low crown, with a flat brim. My friend dubbed them as 'Johnnie Hats,' He, like myself, being ig- norant, and we laughed them to scorn, To day those hats are all the rage in Canada, which is a compliment to Canada, seeing that we are only three years be- hind the times. When I am well enough off to buy a straw hat, [ will not buy a thing that needs a hat-pin to keep it on your head. Only, today, Ilaughed. The 'ex- quisite' was wearing one of these hats. A gust of wind caught the brim, and the result was the spectable of a man chasing a hat through the mud, wondering, in his soul, if that kind of hat would stand washing, Isaw aman standing, uncon- cernedly, on the top of one of the Cathedral Spires. My attention was called to him. My comment wasto effect that, I would sooner drink some painless pyfson than beinthat man's place. [ do not know that man's name, but I will give him credit for a nerve, that Ido not posess, today, He had only one hundred and seventy- five feet to tall, if he wanted to do so. It was not acase of 'Sky- scraping' building, for every precaution is taken there, but this was an exhibition of nerve and pluck that would out-class the ordinary routine of the build- ing of high places, where scaffolds are made, so that a man, working on them, becomes so familiar, that he could, easily, imagine himself to be on the ground. This was a daring feat, worthy of the best 'Steeple-Jack' that ever climbed three times the height. Though, after all, that reminds me of the lady, five foot two, who asked the depth of the Jake over which she wanted to cross. She was told that it was over 60 feet deep jn places. Pll take norisks like that said the lady, and she remained} ashore. Wise woman. I was at the fire, at Cobalt, and if I were emotional, I would have shed tears. I did net stay to the bitter end, bat I stayed long enough to see friends of mine, practically ruined, and I got sick of it. Fortunately, there was no wind. I have been through fire, several times. I know the hopelessness of it all, a little sympathy, without t-e cash, and then something else crops up, and the ruin is forgotten. Yes] hate fires, and that is all that I have to say about the Cobalt fire. I have been condemned to drink port wine, manufac- tured in Canada.» It re- minds me of awoman. It is tco sweet. It needs age, but when you get age in a wom- an, whether wrapt in sawdust with a splash of white, put on in the right place, it becomes so sour, that it is not temp- ting. However, I will strug- gle with it to the bitter end, and I will let the public know what success I have, for we all know what the sailor said "Any port in a storm' I, earnestly hope that my inno- cent port wine will bear out that sailor's contention. This isthe season of trans- plantation. Plants that have been nurtured in a hot bed, have to face the atmospheric conditions of the out. side. The idea is symbolical. Take, for instance,' a <rans- planted Englishman. At first, he wilts a little bit, but when he begins to make new roots, asa tomato plant will do, those roots are struck so deeply. They get such a firm hold on the soil, that you can't pullit out, It be- comes a weed which cannot be eradicated, and hence the glorious success of the Anglo- Saxon race, which 'wins its way by bull-de< pertinacity. I heard the judicial decis- ion, regarding that crazy, clumsy thing, and it is just and right. It is about as near as We can get it, and all honour The Hon. to W. Ie Hanna, Provincial Secre= tary in that he hath giy- en a chance to those who's feet might have slip- ped, a chance to breath God's pure air, and still hope to be- come a man agaix. Only, I would make a distinction be- tween the hardened crim- minal, and the poor lad fool, who happens to have gone astray. In spite of Hanna's theories, let him beware, in leprous subject, that might contaminate the whole. Take a man whose foot hath that he does not admit the), slipped. He deserves what he gets, but if he has the right instincts in him, he de- serves encouragement. We do not know who should cast the first stone, but I would like to meet the man who advised Thompson to do the fool trick, and I would tell him what I think of him. '| Did'nt Leave the Ship, Sir, The Ship Left Me" By W. Milton Yorke, author of the "Por- cupine Trails."' Behold yon Islands sailor host, In danger rise supreme. The storm fiend nigh--the blaek- ened sky. The lightning's baleful gleam. As lions from the sea kings hold, Incased in mortal frame, Such courage high, scorns human mould; And wins undying fame. Unshorn by elemental rage, These Druid oaks stands fast, At duty's post-still history's page, Records their deeds at last. Knights of the crested wave,-- who stand Nor yet wear spurs of gold. Their pride--that sea girt "bit of land." Their watchword, "have and bold." In simple words, frown, The sailor told his story. [The way the gallant ship went down] But adds to England's glory. neath Justice The ice-bergs crash, the night, the gloom Which draped the world sorrow. They perished there, [no lifeboat room] For these no glad to-morrow. And brief the words of this Jack ar: Brave lion of the sea. "T did'nt leave the ship, Sir. The ship left me." : Such words as these, a simple phrase; Should never be forgot. While life shall last, sound high his praise, His manhood perished not. in Lest we forget the scroll of fame, Through future countless years, Which brings to them a death- less name, To us the blinding tears. Shall we not rear their trophies high, Or carve the marble bust, E'er yet we tread where dangers ie And dust returns to dust- They live--though dead, waves o'er head. Their spirits, God, with Thee. While to the last, they still held fast, Traditions of the sea. the DEVELOPMENT BONDS WILL BE ISSUED Toronto, June 5.--A way has been opened for the placing into operation of the government policy for the development of Northern Ontario by the issue of bonds made through the Bank ot Montreal.
