First, the felling of mature trees from which only the top is rfinoved for Christmas tree use, and, second, the wholesale, indiscriminate hacking down of young growth, the trees that are marketable being afterwards selected, while the remainder are left to waste.

In referring to the Kirkland Lake market last week The Northern News says:â€" “A change in location of the Kirkland Lake market did not seem to make much difference in the number of venâ€" dors or buyers as those who attended the opening of the winter market last! Friday found out. The scene in theJ building opposite Beauchesne’s garage and outside of it resembled a popular conception of an old world market place with space at a premium. As for the crowd, one man expressed the thought that it was easier to get through Toronto C. N. E. midway on a Labour Day than through the throng of buyers and sellers at the local pro- duce exchange. The need of a proper market building looks imperative and it is one question that will doubtless be considered by the incoming township council.” orf ninety-six square miles permanently and entirely devoted to the growing of Christmas trees would take care of an annual harvest of 5,000,000 treesâ€"a number considerably in excess of the present cut.

There are men who claim to be able to locate minerals with a willow wand, and from this de- vice the methods vary up to the most intricate electrical devices. Electrical methods were used in the Rouyn field especially, the results to judge by the expressions made in the matter by dif- ferent mining men. Some appear to think the devices are of much service ‘while a contrary Opinion is expressed lby others. There was considerable dis- cussion in the matter a couple of years ago, the concensus of opinion being that there was great possibilities in some of the methods, but that time was needed to test out the value of the plans. if ___‘ L'm'â€"â€"v Now announcement is made of geo- logical survey methods by which the Ontario Dominion Governments will be able to discover the mineral contents of whole sections of minim; country are being completed by Dr. Lachlan Gilchrist, of the University of Toronto Physics Department. In referring to this matter, The T0â€" ronto Globe says:-â€"-“By application of modern scientific knowledge of elec- tricity, magnetism, gravity and the elastic properties of the earth, the pre- sence of such minerals as chalcopyrite, spi‘nalerite (associated with pyrite), pyrite, chromite and asbestos, has been discovered by Dr. Gilchrist working in Northern Ontario and Quebec for the Geological Survey of Canada. ‘ combination with commercial metals, the methods will be of great service to the mining industry, it is understood. “For the Ontario Government, Dr. Gilchrist located lignsite fields in North- ern Ontario. “The results from all the investiga-I tions have been very encouraging and! inspire confidence that with further research work the intelligent applicaâ€" tion of the methods will be of consid- erable service to the mining industry." Dr. Gilchrist told The Globe last week. “The electricity method takes advan- tage of the fact that some substances make better electrical conductors than others. The conductivity of a metal suspected to be in a region is found by laboratory work, and then the region is tested. When there are portions of the {soil or rock that have greater or less conductivity than the surrounding soil or rock, this is taken as indication of the presence of the mineral tallying in conductivity with the abnormal section. vv.-“â€"' -7 . “As different kinds of rock or soil transmit earthquake waves faster than other, the setting up of minor ’quakes by blasting forms another method for discovering what lies below the surface. About a mile from where the blasting takes place, seismographs, the instru- ments used by weather observatories for calculating the intensity of earthquake shocks, are set up. When the shock waves travel faster or slower in one :direction from the scene of blasting than in another. it is estimated that something unseen on the surface lies under the earth. “’fhohgh the whole earth is a. magnet, it is a very weak one, and thus, if mag- netic materials are present in a region, north and south, will be affected by the presence of minerals is also discovered. magnetic substances. In this way the “The force of gravity is also turned to advantage in x-raying mining country. As different kinds of rock or soil exert more attraction on a. body near them, two weights balanced on a beam which is suspended on a thread indicate the presence of certain minerals by sway- ing from side to side. The infinitesimal twisting of the thread is recorded on an instrument, and the presence of a min-- eral with the higher gravitational force is indicated.” SUCCESS OF BRITISH SQUATTER LIVING NORTH OF COCHRANE (From The Northern Tribune) I The success of a bush squatter away up north of Cochrane and until this year isolated from civilization except for occasional parlous canoe trips. is an! impressive demonstration that intelli-l gent pioneering, even in the face of great oddsmay still have its rewards. Seven years ago John Reise took his family up to Newpost from Cochrane, and under exceptional hardicaps he succeeded in clearing a few acres of fertile soil and making a happy home in the wilderness, far removed from the paths of men. A reporter of the North ‘Bay Nugget interviewed. him last week. bringing to light in a most interesting manner many of the details of the Reises' rugged pioneering. We hope to summarize this interview in a future issue. for the valuable light it throws on actual conditions that must be faced. On two and a half acres of land, Mr. Reise this year grew 600 bags of pota- toes or nearly 400 bushels an acreâ€"8. record crop for any farmer to be proud of. The success of this wothy pioneer proves that, there are tracts of land on or adjacent to the James Bay ex- tension wh ich could be opened for set- mement with every prospect that the holders would succeed.‘ at. the same time providing the new settlements with fresh farm produce.

Near Englchart. At Haileybury last week at the assizes there Olli Maki a Finnish Worker in a lumber camp, was tried for the murder of Kalle Pukkl, a. fellow-worker and al- so a. Finlander, the death of Pukki taking place following a row at Myer’s Camp. near Englehart. The jury in the case last week returned for the second time to inform Mr. Justice Kelly who presided that they could not agree on a. verdict. His Lordship ordered an immediate re-trial of the accused. In the despatches from Haileybury‘ ‘ in regard to the matter it is stated that George W. Mitchell, K..,C representing Maki, stated he was not prepared to go ahead with the case, pleading that his client was financially impoverished. He said he did not propose to proceed un- til he received something to cover dis- bursements he had made up to the present and something for his services. He informed the court that a witness he had brought at his own expense had ; gone home to Iroquois Falls. U Mr. Justice Kelly interrupted at this juncture, advising Mr. Mitchell not to let any more witnesses go, expressing the opinion that now was the time ta go ahead with the re-trial. U "I am not prepared to conninue," the defence lawyer reiterated. A jury, whose members, after deliber- ating in a murder case for four hours and three quarters. late Thursday af- ternoon informed Mr. Justice Kelly, at the ass-izes wt Haileybury, that they had agreed to disagree. His Lord-ship re- quested the panel to return to the jury room and make another attempt to reach a definite conclusion. Olli Maki, Finnish wood-cutter, ac- cused of the murder of Kalle Pukki, a compatriot and fellow-worker at Myer’s camp, near Englehart. is the prisoner whose fate was involved in the dis- agreement. Hearing of the evidence and the addresses of counsel and of the judge had been concluded at 12.45 p.m,. but it was 5.30 before the jury trooped back into court. The usual formalities completed, the clerk asked for the verdict of the dozen citizens of Temiskaaming, who had dealt with the evidence in the case, and Paul Wink, Cobalt, the foreman, rose in his place and announced that “we. the jury, cannot come to a. decision and agree to disgree.” Mr. Justice Kelly asked if it would not be possible to reach a verdict if further tiine were allowed, and although Mr. Wink replied that the jury had given full consideration to the case, its members accepted a suggestion from the bench to “dease try again." In making the request, the judge pointed out that he desired no man to give up his convictions for the sake of un- animlty. The jury then retired and court ad- journed until 7.45 pm. No evidence was presented for the defence by George W. Mitchell, K.C., representing Maki. Counsel for the accused, during the morning, took exception to evidence given by two provincial officers, Con- stables Thomas Houldcroft and Felix Devlin, relating to a. conversation Maid is said- to have had with Devlin in Englehart jail, English being the lan- guage employed. Mr. Mitchell contended 'he had never been able to converse with his client except through an interpreter and he objected to the oflicers’ testimony re- garding certain admissions to have been made by Maki on the ground that the prisoner could not have understood either the warning given by Constable Devlin or the quwtions subsequently put to him.

Since leav- ing here two years ago, Mr. O’Hara has been in the employ of the Ontario De- partment of Health and for a while was stationed at Fort William.

Pity Poor Russia, the Land Without Christmas thought might well be given to the poor children of Russia and to the adults there as well. On top of all their other sufferings, one of the special joys of life is taken from them. They have no Christmas joys to look forward to. It is remarkable how little is needed to make Christmas joyful. Weeks be- fore the day the youngsters live in happy anticipation of what Santa Claus will bring them. In their hearts they may know that all the things they as for are impossible. but they have the fun of asking and wishing. Then 1 when the day arrives if there are gifts 1 at all they take joy in them and the ; grand wishes are forgotten for the time p in the pleasure of the smaller joys and surprises.

This is the way it is' 'in this country and in most of the countries of the earth. But it is far ‘different in Russia. In that sad land, there is now under way a regular anti .Christmas campaign conducted by the {Soviet who know that the Christmas lspirit and the slavery of the masses of I 'the people do not go well together.‘ Canadian Press cables; from Moscow last week said that the Soviet anti- ‘Christmas campaign has started with the announcement by the All-Union Society of Militant Atheists that thou- sands of professors, teachers. lecturers E and students had been mobilized to in- 'struct the public about Christmas and how it is a snare and a delusion. The lecturers promise .to reveal to countless meetings of workers and peasants what . they term “the attempts of clergymen and priests to utilize the legend of the birth of Christ for counter-revolution- ' ary purposes.’ In previous years rough i methods had been used to curb Christ- mas celebrations. this year only moral force is to be exerted according to the authorities. Since Joseph Stalin’s prc- nouncement of last spring, the efforts of the more enthusiastic atheists to persecute the religiously inclined by law have somewhat cooled. In that pro- nouncement Stalin warned the authori- ties against severe measures in farm 1 collectivization and the anti-religious campaign. A merry Christmas to all!
