Miner Says: "Must Control Wild Life" Noted â€"Canadian Nature Lover Gives his Views on Conservation. (By Lance Connery) Despite his love for wild life, a fundaâ€" mental part of Jack Miner‘s philosophy is his telief in man‘s dominion over all. The Kingsville naturalist, now in his seventies, holds that man must control and protect useful birds and ammals, and sometimes kill the harmful ones. The control and balance of Nature is largely ‘oft With man, he believes. Just as gardens must be weeded if their produce is to live, so must the undeâ€" sirables be controlléed or eliminated from the animal kingdom. ‘The weasel that preys on chickens, naturally enough, must be killed if the fowl are to survive. Birds Have Deadly Enemies One of North America‘s greatest assets is its wild life, and if manm exâ€" pects it to remain so, he must control its enemies, says the naturalist. Mournâ€" ing doves, native sparrows and similar birds are perhaps the most valluable, and their deadly enemies are coopers and sharpâ€"shinned hawks. Control of such ~feathered killers is absolutely essential, in Jack Miner‘s opinion Redâ€"tailed deer have many foss, principally ‘wolves, who hunt every‘ day of the year and observe no closed ‘seaâ€" of some is that the wolves are in themâ€" selves a natural controlling force,iand that by interfering with this force man son. If the deer are to inbrea.se,; the wolves must tke killed. The argument is only paving the way for such an increase in the number of deer that disease will eventually wipe them out, Naturalist Has One Answer To this Jack Miner has one answer. It is that, even if such were the case it would be far better to have excess desr killed by man for food than to have them ravaged by wolves and left to die, with no useful purpose served. Others use the . same argument in respect to bird life. The illlustration ueed by the Kingsyllle naturalist to reâ€" fute the point recalls early days in North America, when 90 per cent. of w wb ty â€" s w o h se Co. Kitchener Guelph Chatham Windsor "I never use the word ‘ex| tion‘," the naturalist observes, "but 1 belileve in control, whether it is of inâ€" sect, plant, bird or animal life." He uses Ida M. Thomas‘ poem, "Makâ€" ing a _ Garden," as a fitting illustration of his philosophy. He works with hoe and spade; God sends the sun, the rain, the air; And thus a garden‘s made. He must be proud who tills the soll And turns the heavy sod. How wonderflul a thing to be In partnership with God! It reads: Man ploughs and plants and digs and Says Harry Oakes Kicked Into Millions Romantic Story in London‘ â€"Paper About Northern Mine Man. _ 1 Kirkland Lake,: Aug. 4â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"So â€"completely strapped financially that he could not pay his fare and was thrust forth forcibly from the train by a flintâ€"hearted rallwayâ€" man with a hidebound devotion to comâ€" pany rules . and regulat,ions, Harry Oakes: literally was booted into prosperity when he was ejected from the cars right at the side of the famous Lake Shore gold mine, according to an exclusive story reaching Northern Onâ€" tatio this week direct from ole Lunnon itself. Identity of this crude Colonial conductorâ€"he must have attained that rank, although the ": ws" item terms him a guard in the best coaching tradiâ€" tionsâ€"is evidenily a closelyâ€"kept secret and efforts in the North to penetrate the veil to date have proved futile, but it is hoped that Colonel Malcolm Lang, \chairman of the T. N. O. Commission, ‘and A. H. Cavanagh, the general manâ€" ,ager of the Ontario Government road, be persuaded to institute an enâ€" quiry. with a view to solving this mysâ€" tery. â€" Neither official was available toâ€" day, however. The information, of a nature calâ€" culated to provoke some astonishment in mining circles, comes across the pond from no less an authority than a Flcet Street oracle, reinforced: with the prestige of the daughter of an ancient scottish Border house who has married into Royalty, and is carried on a page of The Overâ€"Seas Daily Mail bearing for its motto a verse ‘from the Old Testament.. To any who may doubt its authenticity, they are referred without prejudice" to page three of the issue of the publication already noted, and bearing as its date July 23, 1938. The contributor of this new chapter to Onâ€" tario‘s mining history describes himâ€" self as "One Wanderer Returned," alâ€" though from where is not indicated, and not far above the heading "Kicked Into Millions," which adorns his effuâ€" sion, are the words "As ‘cold. waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." (Proverbs, 25, 25). "Plenty of good talk," runs the paraâ€" graph in The Overâ€"Seas Daily Mail, "at the Canadian tea party at Grosâ€" verer House, where the Duchess of Gloucester was the chief guest.. One story. was of how. Mr. Harry Oakes, the Canadian multiâ€"millionaire, made his fortune.© Once a poor prospector, he stole a lift in a railroad car travelling north to Cobalt in Northern Ontario. At last he was discovered by the guard, who kicked him out because he had no ticket. The penniless prospector look¢id grountâ€"and found one~of the richest gold fields in Canada. His inâ€" come now is said to be close on 1,000,â€" 000 pounds a year!" f 'I’hats all, and the story leaves the reader in the North in a dissatisfied state of mind because of its lack of further details He is willing to overâ€" lotk the geographical discrepancy: | which locates Kirkland Lake on the. main line of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway and south of Cobalt at. that, but what he wants to know is how that railwayman who kicked away, perhaps, HIS fortune, was attired, for instance. Did he blossom forth in those swanky frock coat effects sported by British railway conductorsâ€" guards of course, to Fleet Streetâ€"and did he tote with him that little green flag and shrill whistle without which no LM.S. man would be complete? Also, having ousted Mr. Oakes with more effect than ceremony, did the guard give the highball with the flag to the engineer up frontâ€"or the engine driver, to pursue the British parallel. If Ed. Sheppard, senior conductor on T. N. O., wasn‘t on a night run that puts him through the district at unâ€" earthly hours for journalists in these parts, he would be asked to search his memory to round cut this remarkable story,; but meantime it must remain cloaked in partial mystery. | : Conijaurum Mines Limited, in a comâ€" pany statement of estimated earnings for the three months ending June 30, 1938, reported toâ€"day an operating proâ€" fit of $124,275, against $36,.100 during the corresponding period of 1997. .

Rare Riot Rocked Roc d‘Or Recently (From â€"Val d‘Or News) Aftermath of the battie which took place in Roc d‘Or Tuesday afternoon was the arrest by Provincial Police of fchuir who were ‘charged with vagrancy and later released on payment of fines of two dollars and costs. Police point out that a provincial detachment will soon be stationed at..Malartic. . â€"â€" In the absence of all police control and in spite of repeated calls from Roc d‘Or residents trying to locate Provinâ€" cial Police officers in the district, the payday aftermath in the village Tuesâ€" day this week was a riot which raged for an hour around a sheck, east of main street. Attackers smashed winâ€" dows, broke in the doors, swung cord wood and eventually departed amid a barriage of beer bottles as the defendâ€" ers of the shack collected reinforceâ€" ments. Puritan People Phoned Proâ€" vincial Police Pronto. One man was knocked cold with a wound in his head and others left with bruises more or less serious. It all started, according to witnesses, when a crowd of about six. whoâ€" "had cbviously been ‘drinking‘"‘ approached the shack and asked to be let in. The man on the door took stotk of the situâ€" ation, thought back rapidly to previoua similar situations and said they couldn‘t come in. The wouldâ€"be guests allowed that that was OK but that they were comâ€". ing in anyway. They collected various weapons and soon had windows smashâ€" ed in and began battering at the barred door. The door yielded just about the same time as the noise attracted friends or relatives of th* beleagued inâ€" habitants and open skirmishing around the shack ended with one man being slugsged with a piece of cordwood and another going down with the butt end of canthook. Others began sniping from the roof with beer bottles and it was not long before the attacking forces retreated across main street where they lined up and began hurling vitriolic epithets at the opposition which took stand on the other side and waited further developments. With no police to arbitrate it is difâ€" ficult to say who won. The shack cameé out second best with windows broken and the door off its hinges and general confusion all over the place. On the other hand the defenders maintain they won a moral victory because the unâ€" wanted guests never actually got inside., Things were fairly quiet until midâ€" evening when the party began boiling up again in another part of the village. This time the wreckage started on the inside and windows were broken outâ€" wards. Tables were .smashed. and panels kicked out of doors in an arguâ€" ment that reportedlyâ€"lasted only a few minutes, but left the owner of the house crunching around in broken glass 1ookâ€" ing for a hammer and naills to board up the gaping doorway and windows.
