The Advance is one of the very few newspapers in Canada that has had the firmness to refrain from saying something to the effect that while the Government has set Monday, Nov. 9th. as Thanksgiving Day, the people have set Thursday, Oct. 29th as the day to give the country something to be thankful for. 206 on w tha.* ic ‘‘We have tried out the augers and drills and they are not worth a damn, and we have to go at the assessment work with pick and shovel. “IPyou want the work all done, we ought to have a couple more men.

In a brief note received this week by one of the officers in town of the Syndicate Dr. Sloan gives a list of supplies required and adds:â€" «w There will be two charges of murâ€" der to come before the Supreme Court sittings at Cochrane next week. Both charges are from Timmins. One of them arises from the cireumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Senuk. ‘Mrs. Senuik was found dead near the Hollinger Mine. Her clothing was tora, and there were some slight marks on the body that might have resulted from rough «usage. Pete Stepanuik is alleged to have been the last person to have been in company with Mrs, Senuik. He had acconmâ€" panied her from a party at Schuâ€" acher and some of the® evidence would suggest that there had been Â¥onsiderable drinking ‘done during the day. Stepanuik was placed under arrest some hours after the death of Mrs. Senuik and he chas been held ever since, and that means for several months. The charge against him is the serious one of murder. It is not likely that this charge will be proceeded with very far, though a lesâ€" ser charge may be pressed. STAR LAKE CLAIMS LO0K: GOOD, SAVS DR.
