THE OSHAWA DAL: (IMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1928 and in October more better buildings were being erected at Goldpines, Red Lake and at the Jackson-Manion mining areas than had been in any of these three chief ports heretofdre. When the ice makes travelling safe a goqd deal of freight which is now stored at Gold Pines, will be taken further north across the lakes by team, It is probable that motor trucks will be running from the railway to Goldpines and from Goldpines to Red Lake, according to Mining Re- corder Holland, and he says 100 teams will be engage in carrying freight this winter compared with 60 teams last winter, It costs about $50 a ton to move freight into Red Lake at present, There are a good many portages along the water route, and sugges- tions have been made that some of these portages might be eliminated by dynamiting the rocky beds of the streams, Hon, W, F, Finlay- son, Minister of Lands and For- ests, it is understood, will obtain a report on these suggestions, YSlrine was formerly known as "Pine Ridge", but the name was changed as there was another Can- adian post ice by that name.

Captain Thorn- ton, M.C., travelling representative of the movement, in returning from Australia to England will pass through Canada in November and visit various Canadian cities to ex- plain the movement to the Canadian «| people, ng to work on my motoreyele," explained the victim of a serious accident as he lay on cot, "when an auto came out of an alley, threw me to the pavement, tearing my root a Bell Telephone man was passing, He stopped the bleeding, when the ambulance arrived." of a | MAY MODERNIZE MANSION HOUSE International Ideas Concern- cerned in Improving Lord Mayor's Residence London, Eng., Nov, 19.--Modern- ization of the Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord May- or of London, has been discussed intermittently since 1911, when the subject was brought to the notice of the Corporation of Lon- don. The Mansion House was then sald to be unfit for the work it had to do and incapable of housing a Lord Mayor and his staff in com- fort The war, however, intervened A scheme to deal wth the whole in. terior of the building is now being considered When the financial details are complete the Common Counell will be asked to vote a large sum of money for the con- templated improvements, possibly as much as $150,000 Carl Hentschel, public spirited citizen, a former member of the corporation of the city of London, when chairman of the General Purposes Committee, went into the very difficult problem involved in the modernizing of the Mansion House, From intimate knowledge he expressed the view (and he was then ersponsible for the Mansion House) that the whole interior should be rebuilt on modern lines, He alleged that nothing but "patching" was ever done, and that the committee only considered econ- omy, It is known that Lady Ebbisham (then Lady Blades) 1 misgivings about inhabiting the House when her husband boca..e Lord Mayor, and preferred to stay at an hotel until certain works were done, Even then she did not consider that the state of the Man- sion House was what the official residence of the City's chief magis trate should be. "The fact is that the committee has always been in a difficulty," says The Times, 'Each Lord May- or, as he arrives, desires, naturally enough, to move into the Mansion House at the earliest possible op- portunity, To allow of the place being modernized properly, a Lora Mayor would possibly have to live elsewhere during his year of of- fice, In such an event (and so far it has not been suggested) the Mayoralty would have to be in- stalled in one of the city halls, "The Mansion House as we see it today differs from the building erected for Sir Crisp Gascoigne (an ancestor of Lord Salisbury) in 1752, Originally the flight of stone steps heneath the portico was broken halfway down by platforins, and the steps turned inwards towards a common centre, This was the proper and, ii..2:d, toe only entrance. The Wallwook, or side, door' gave access to a stable, 'Internally, tao, there has oeen great change. The present sal- oon was not constructed, There was an open 'ourtyard on the site after the Italian fashion. It was roofed in 1793, LANDSCAPE GARDENER SOUGHT IN WEST Edmonton, Alberta, Nov, 20.-- With a view to improving the ap- pearance of the parks of this ci'y the appoin.ment of a landscape gardener has been recommended by the Town Planning Association, and it is not unlikely the city council will make such an appointment in the near future, The association points out that by placing an ex- pert landscape gardener in charge of the work of making the park: more attractive than they have been, results could be obtained that would be generally pleasing, The parks in this city are o. great natural beauty and through care. ful atteniion could be made still more beautiful, greatly as it snack -- Is Is touches the right spot! is fresh, Cocoanut, ? is fresh.

Mcintosh, Scotsman, Found Favorite Fruit in 1796 Ottawa, Ont., Nov, 20.--The his- tory of (he popular McIntosh Red Apple is given by the Ottawa Morn- ing Journal in its special column, "A Fact a Day About Canada,' follows: In the year 1796 John a Scottish settler is an epic.

MOUNTED OFFICERS FACE ODD TASKS Edmonton, Alta., Nov, 20.--Yet another Royal Canadian Mounted Officer has faced the task of tra- velling over a long distance, in charge of a demented person, On a train from the north came Corporal Woods, of Arctic Red River--1,612 miles from the end of steel at Waterways, and 1,812 miles from Edmonton--with an olderly Indian woman whose men- tal state made it necessary to re- move her to Ponoka, A second woman accompanied the party as matron, and no trouble was experienced on the way. Safely housed at the Royal Can- adian Mounted Police barracks, the old woman soon made herself at home, She would not drink tea, and lives entirely on fish and raisins, ACCEPTS STRATFORD CALL Stratford, Nov, 20.--Rev. G, J, Connir, of the Immanual Baptist Church, Hamilton, has accepted a call to the Pastorate of the' Mem- orial Regular Baptist Church, this city, and will assume his new du- ties about the middle of December, He has been in Hamilton for the last eight years.

The Prince of Wales is patron of the movement, Richard Linnton, an Australian, founded the movement. Travell- ing about England in the interests of stimulsming the movement of British youths to Australia, he realized that a big deterrent was the natural attitude of parents who wished some assurance that tne moral and physical welfare of their boys would be looked after by some reputable and disinterested per- son. On returning to Australia he got together a band of individual Australians, who were themselves established citizens, and who un- dertook to act as guide, philosoph- er and friend to one English boy migrant. These men were termed Big Bro- thers. And so it followed that boys leaving England were termed little Brothers, During the three years that have elapsed, 1,500 boys have gone out to Australia as Little Bro- thers and there is no lack of Big Brothers on the other side. Thé Little Brother is selected if he is a clean living, well mannered British boy who is determined to work hard on the land. He must have reached his sixth standard of elementary education, He has to pass the medical tests of the Migra- tion Authorities. He undertakes: To follow the advice of his Hix Brother (it must he remembered the latter is not his employer). Not to leave his employer with- out the Big Brother's written per- mission. To consult his Big Brother in any trouble. Not to drink spirits or gamble until he is 21, To open an account at a savings hank, and to save at least half his earnings, , To write to his parents and his Biz Brothers at least once a month, On arrival the Little Brother is met by his Big Brother and he In due course despatches him to an annraved farmer who agrees to nay him £3 a week and his keep (exclu- sive of clothes). $300,000 IS RAISED FOR NEW BUILDING OF WOMEN'S HOSPITAL Toronto, Ont.,, Nov, 20,--Mem- bers of the corporation of the wo- men's college Hospital, Rusholme Road, held their 20th annual meeting recently, A new develop- ment, to be introduced within the coming year, is the occupational therapy under trained aides, The report of the campaign for a new building, urgently needed, presented, showed about $300,000 exclusive of the city grant, The campaign is still being carried on, VISCOUNTESS GREY DIES London, Nov, 19.--The Daily Mail today announces the death of Viscountess Pamela Grey, after a sudden illness at her home at Wils- ford Manor, Salisbury, Her hus- band, the former Secretary of For- eign Affairs, was at his Fallodon estate and was hurriedly sum- moned, The late Viscountess Grey was the youngest daughter of the late Hon, Percy Wyndham and married first Baron Glenconner, who died in 1920, and, secondly, Viscount Grey two years later.

Arthur Barner, superintendent of Indian missions for the United Church of Canada, It was lately reported that when Gifford Swartman, Ontario Pro- vineial Air Force pilot, nosed his big flying boat down upon the waters of Pekangekum Lake on2 afternoon last September, it wa. to put to utter route one of the very few bands of Pagan Saulteaux Indians to be found now in the Patricia district, Rev, Mr. Barner staces that in company with Rev, J. W. Niddrie of Berens River, he visited these bands in July, 1921, and conducted services, but found it impossible then to induce these nomads to setile long enough in one place for a school to be conducted for their children, He did not witness any revolting Pagan ceremonies such as the airman reports, but can corroborate accounts of the shyness and strangeness of the Saulteaux, This year a few hunters agreed | to build houses and leave their wo- men and children at Pekangekum through the winter in order to wel- come a teacher and receive in- struction. Forty portages eastward from Lake Winnipeg, Mr. Barner found almost inaccessible by cazoc. went in long before aeroplanes were heard of as means of trans- port into these nor. hern wilds. Once every year for the.past ten years either Rev. F. J. Stevens of Fisher River Mission or Mr, Niad- drie has visited Saulteaux, in the hope that sooner or later a suit- able missionary could be found and facilities for his work provided. The first a'tempt to establish a school among them failed because the wandering instinct proved too strong and they packed up and "mushed" off after their traps, IMPERIAL WIZARD ACCUSED OF THEFT Regina, Nov. 19.--J. W.
