Member of the There were many interesting and amusing incidents about the election and its aftermath Monday evening. One of the most pathetic was the case of a young man who is rather well known for his exuberant endorsation of Mackenzie King and all his works. In a local restaurant Monday night this. younz man‘s chum said:â€"*"Poor Leo! He bought three botâ€" tles of Scotch and a case of beer to celebrate the victory he was confident would be in this riding, but when he learned how the results were throughout the Dominion and that his wellâ€"beloved Mackenzie King was defeated in the country and even in his own riding, he felt so badly he couldn‘t touch the liquor." Could there be deeper woe? The peopie not tolerate the people | Recently t Recently considerable annoyance and disgust has been caused in Ontario by the importation from the United States of a silly and dangerous piece of nonsense termed "treeâ€"| sitting." Several boys in Ontario and other parts of thei Dominion have defied authority and rejected friendly advice by persisting in this "treeâ€"sitting." The idea is that the boy should climb up into a tree and sit there night and day in the hopes of setting a new record for this monkey busiâ€" ness. Mr. J. J. Kelso, superintendent of the provincial Children‘s Aid societies, has instructed his representatives throughout the province to discourage the practice so far as possible, even to the extent of cutting down trees in which illâ€"advised or poorlyâ€"controlled young notoriety seekers may attempt to roost. As Mr. Kelso points out there is no sense or advantage in the game and it is actually a dangerous practice for the boy attempting it. Boys are more likely to their necks than break any of the foolish records made. It does seem absurd for anyone to encourage so abâ€" surd a game, especially in view of the active menace to heaith and safety that must follow the trick.. The Toronto Mail and Empire says it expected more sense from Ontario parents than is suggested by a tolerance of treeâ€"sitting. The Advance is astonished that there should be any Canadian boys with so little good judgment. The boys usually in their games and sports show good sense and reasonableness.

Childreé throug} possible illâ€"advi attemp t10 Gisa The Kâ€"Ray, the monthly magazine of the International Kiwanis, in its last issue refers to the sensible ban in Timâ€" mins against parking automobiles in front of the theatre, and asks The Advance:â€""For the love of Mike, where can a fellow park?" The answer is:â€"On Ogden avenue, Kimâ€" berley avenue, First avenue, Second Avenue, Fourth avenue, Fifth avenue, Sixth avenue, Seventh avenue, Tamarack street, Hemlock street, Spruce street, Cedar street, Balsam street, Birch street, Maple street, Elm street, Mountjoy street Wilson avenue, the Hollinger townsite, Mattagami Heights and a number of other places in town. There are just a few places in the town where a fellow cannot park. It is always a pleasure to answer questions. There are nearly always compensating joys for the ills that may appear, if they are properly watched for and apâ€" preciated. Take the election contest this week, for example ‘The Conservatives were delighted with the overthrow of the King Government in the Dominion, but the exuberance of the joy was tempered by the fact that the party had lost the contest in this riding of North Temiskaming. On the other hand the Liberals were greatly elated by the return of their favourite, Jos. A. Bradette, in this riding, while they were equally held back from too much expression of joy Che Korrupine Advatcs | Thursday, July 31st, 1930 land Lake.

JAMES NETL AT NORTH COBALT THURSDAY A despatch last week from Cobalt to The North Nugget says:â€""Another old resident of the Cobalt camp died at her home in North Cobalt on Thursâ€" day when Mrs. James Neil succumbed to an illness extending over the las: three months. Mrs. Neil had been suffering from heart trouble and had been confined to bed for the past five weeks. Born in the northern part 6f Hastings county, the late Mrs. Neil. who was Miss Nellie May Whits, came to the Cobalt camp shoritly after her marriage in 1909 and she had lives: in Cobalt and Porcupine sincz. For the past 13 years the family has residâ€" ed in North Cobalt. The funeral will be held on Sunday, with burial in Hailevbury cemetery. Survivinz are her ;in this victory by the fact that in the wider sphere of the ;Dominicn the expected victory had not materialized. Each Eside had a victory to compensate the loss, ancf thus neither side was too depressed nor yet unduly elated, and so everyâ€" | one was more or less contented and more or less happy but not tco much so, and everything passed off quietly and in ifriendly way. Which is all right. i On Monday evening the crowd at the Conservative comâ€" 'mxttee rooms was cheering the returns that showed the party !had won a noteworthy yictory at the polls throughout the \ pominion. "Who‘s doing all the cheering?" asked a cusâ€" tomer in one of the stores nearby. "Oh, that‘s the Liberals cheering the Conservatives for winning out," said the genâ€" tleman in charge of the store. The fact that so many seats were won by Hon. R. B. Benâ€" nett and his followers in the election this week may be taken as proof that the result will be generally satisfactory. ; In any event there is one feature of the election that appears to please all and that is that the new government has a| clear majority over ali and so is not dependent upon anyl group or faction for the safe conduct of the business of par-'; liament. The majority given the Bennett administration . means that the new government will be free to follow out its policy without compromise or deference to the wishes of other groups with divergent views. While party men | throughout the Dominion are no doubt elated at the victoryi achieved at the polls, Hon. Mr. Bennett and the greater part of his followers will be more impressed with the responsibiâ€" lity that will rest upon them. Unemployment must be remeâ€". died, trade must be revived, industries must be speeded up, plans must be gotten under way for the building of the Transâ€"Canada highway, and immediate efforts must be made to assure greater coâ€"operation between Dominion and proâ€" vincial governments for the general advantage of the counâ€" try. The congratulations showered upon the talented leadâ€" er of the Conservative party and his lieutenants in the batâ€" tle just concluded to sincere men mean also promptings to plans for the fulfilment of the pledges given in the contest. So far as Hon. R. B. Bennett and his party are concerned the election is but a skirmish; the real battle will soon be on ‘to assure for the people of Canada a business administraâ€" | tion of the affairs of the country that will assure the people the greatest possible measure of progress and prosperity that can be induced by governmental effort and guidance. At every election there is cbjection and protest in regard to names on the voters‘ lists that should not be there and names that are omitted where they should appear. Probably in no recent election has there been so valid a ground for cbjecticn as in the contest just completed. Names appeared to be omitted to a greater extent than usual while the numâ€" ber of names improperly spelled seemed beyond excuse. Many of the spe‘llings were such as to completely disguise the names. The plan adopted for the compilation of the 1930 Dominion voters‘ list may have been a good one; it did appear as a favourable method; but in practice it was open to the most serious ocbjection. Much of the trouble appears | to have arisen from careless copying of the lists made by the | A A MAALLANZ Ns A NJ WA k V oA 2Â¥ EC C m EC s se _ A B d here and the Dome had an enjoyable time at a weiner roast at Golden City on Saturday evening last.

With the Dominicn election campaign out of the way itl Sailscn for the gentlemen With the Dominicn election campaign out of the way it may he said again that the chief need of the North Land is still roads for the settlers. Despite all the false reports that seem to be persistently | spread in the South in regard to the condition of the roads in the North, there is now a considerable amount of tourist traffic coming to this part of the North Land. Apparently the conditions of previous years are being repeated in reâ€" gard to tourists coming only a part of the way to the real Ncrth. Only a very small proportion of the motorists that come as far as New Liskeard ever reach Timmins, Iroquois Falls or Cochrane, though a visit to either or all of these places would certainly prove of very particular interest and value to them. The trouble. however, is that few motorists feel like travelling five hundred miles or more by the one route when they know that they must follow the same road for the return trip. As The Advance has so persistently pointed out for some years past, the remedy lies in the comâ€" pletion of the belt line of ‘roads for the North. With the propcsed roadway comnecting up Timmins and Sudbury tourists would be able to come to the North by one route and return South by another. They would see twice as much of the North and there would be three times as much variety and interest. The completion of the belt line of roads would mean that tourists would come to the North from the west as well as from the east. The traffic would probably be increased to four or five times its present volume. This would mean that the money spent in the country by the tourists would pay for the completion of the belt line of roads within a few years. The country would certainly benefit directly and indirecty from the increased tourist traffic. The tourists also would benefit by the increased attractiveness of a tour in the North. Here they would see wonderful timber country, agricultural lands, scenery unâ€" excelled anywhere, notable silver mines, famous gold mines, big paper and pulp mills, the world‘s greatest nickel indusâ€" try, copper mines, and new towns and cities remarkable for their modern features. Now that the election is over, the people of the North till feel that this large and important section of the proâ€" ince should have representation in the Senate of Canada. The Farm Day at Kapuskasing on Thursday, August 21st, should interest all settlers and others in this district. At present an effort is being made to have a special train from Timmins for the occasion. The ifnterests of the North will be furthered by the people of one part of the North knowâ€" ing the rest of the North. Visits between the towns of the North will help all parts of the North. Settlers in this disâ€" trict will find a visit to Kapuskasing Farm on August 21ist will be of direct value to them. Others will find it equally valuable. though the benefit may not be so direct.

Victor Gareau, the sixâ€"year old lad from near Kapuskasing, who has been lost for over three weeks. The boy and two other members of the family of a ; settler living near Kapuskasing were| lost in the bush about three weeks ago. Two of the children eventually were able to reach home after passing 2 couple of nights in the bush. The resâ€" cued youngsters told about how the three were lost, and that Victor, only ; six years old, had said that he would find a way out of the bush. He separâ€"| ated from the two and since that date% has not been seen. The search for the . missing child was kept up for weexs and the father of the boy made the most determined efforts to locate the: little fellow. For days on end the. father searched the bush in fairly: frantic way to find his lost boy. Hunâ€" greds of people from Kapuskasing and district joined the search. Some days ago the search for the lad was abanâ€" doned, it being felt that further effort was of no avail. Accordingly it may be taken for granted that the child is not likely to be found alive. The whole bush in the area has been very careâ€" fully combed but without results. Inâ€" dians were brought from Mattice to lhelp in the search but though they found tracks of the boy they wtre inâ€" definite and there was nothing that could be done more than to keep up | the search.
