FUNERAL DIRECTOR 73 THIRD AVENUE Telephoncs 608â€"J and 608â€"W. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO NEVER COLOER THAN 48 BELOW UP N THIS NORTH In an effort to upset the widelyâ€" held theory that it is cold sometimes in this North Land, a correspondent writing from Cochrane to The North Bay Nugget and The Sudbury Star, gives official facts and figures to prove that the thermometer at Cochrane has never gone below 48 degrees since the Government â€" Meteorologieal Station was established at that town. Everyâ€" one, except those living at Cochrane, will be ready to admit that Cochrans is about .the coldest place in ths part of the North, and if it has never been below 48 at Cochrane, then it has never been more than 48 bhelow at any other North Land point. It may be, howoever, that the cold is so dry that the thermometer does not feel the cold at Cochrane. ‘‘Last year the lowest temperature up to this date was 7 degrees below on November 17th. The first week in December was mild and the lowest temperature recorded up until Deâ€" cember l4th was 11 degrees. A spell of continuous below zeroâ€" weather then set in and lasted until Decemiber 20. . This date is marked as the coldâ€" est day of the winter 30 degrees beâ€" *The meteorological records kept here by Mr. McDougal Douglass serve to explode some of the most popular winter legends connected with «the North Country. It will be interesting to most oldâ€" timers to learn that 1910 held the coldâ€" est weather on record in this North, Many would be inclined offâ€"hand to give the blame to the winter of 1916, when it went below 40 one night and forgot to come up past 30 for what seemed like a couple of winters and maybe was a couple of weeks. Howâ€" ever, that winter broke the back of the cold in the North Land and more recently the winter up here have been mild. Indeed, on several oceasions when Toronto, New York, Chicago and other points south have been sufâ€" if m ie sn un hn on C o ht Mn * Pihd ‘ "©FTor instance examination of his records brings out the fact that the lowest temperature reached by the mereury _ since ‘the meteorological station was established at Cochrane was 48 degrees below zero, and this was reached only once in the winter of 1910. ‘It was a beautiful, clear starlit night,"‘ said Mr. Douglass. ‘‘There was not a breath of wind.. About nine o‘clock I went out to examine my thermometers. I did not have a cap or mitts and did not notice it so cold. My instruments were just a few yards from the door and just as I was lookink at the thermometer I felt my ear crack, I knew it was frozen, and just then I read the temperature, 48 below zero."‘ "With the weatherman playing unâ€" usual capers for this time of ithe year, it is interesting to note that the apâ€" proach of winter in the Northland has been more severe this year than it was during the close of 1924. On Saturâ€" day night, November 28, the mereury fell to its lowest ebb of the current season, registering 17 degrees below zero and remaining at 16 degrees beâ€" low for the greater part of the followâ€" ing day. fering â€" blizzards, snowâ€"storms and bloodâ€"freezing cold and there has been mild and charming weather in this North. The Advance has recomâ€" mended the North Land as a summer resort for the unfortunate folks of the South during their cold winter months. To rret back to the correqpondent 5 artlcle, however, here is the Cochrane despatch on the weather:â€"â€" weéek says :â€"â€" "The district of Temiskaming has again proven itself to be capable of competing against the world for honâ€" ours in the growing of grain. At the International Grain and Hay Show, held at Chicago, during the same time as the International Live Stock Exposition, a Temiskaming entry carried off fifth prize n field peas. This is an open competition, and the International is considered a world event. â€" Mr. Chas. Thomas, the veteran seed grower of the district is the exâ€" hibitor of this sample, and is to be congratulated most heartily. It was forwarded to Chicago through coâ€" operation with the Department of Agâ€" riculture, at New Liskeard and at TEMISKAMING MAN TAKES FIFTH PRIZE AT CHICAGO ‘*Coming immediately following the announcement of last week of the rather spectacular wins in barley at Toronto and Ottawa, it goes to show that Temiskaming exhibitors have something worthwhile. At the Royal Agricultnral Winter Fair, Toronto, J. M. Gray, took 3rd prize and Edson Jibb, G6th prize in open competition in barley, with 42 competitors from all over Canada. It was, however, at Ottawa, that the greatost showing was made."‘" Rev. J. O. Watt, for come years pastor of the Presbyterian church at Haileybury, and known to many in this district, left last week to take up his new duties as pastor of a church at Waterloo Ont. ; Least, So Says the Meterologist Stationed at Cochrane Town.

Just how these came to be dropped into the drain down which they evidently came, is a question that is puzzling the brain of Joe Police, the streets foreman, and he says it is very doubtful if they will be claimed by the original owner. In another seeâ€" tion of the sewer there was found a piece of rock weighing five or six pounds.‘‘ 2 ues se _ _This North Land is a world of mysâ€" tery! DISTRICT ROAD ENGINEER RESIGNS HIS POSITION Mr. E. W. Neelands, District Enginâ€" eer for the Northern Development Branch in the Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard district, which includes Kirkland Lake, etc., has ressigned the position. He will 1eturn to the pracâ€" tice of his profession. No doubt it is the lack of as good a salary and as large a field for advancement, toâ€" gether with the usual tendency to a plentitude of public erticism, that tempts good men to prefer private employ to public services. It is a great pity from the standpoint of the puhhc services that Government emâ€" ploy should not be as attractive as private service for men of special ability. The men who prove to be unâ€" usually . efficient and desirable as Government employees are too often tempted to take private service beâ€" cause of the better pay, better condiâ€" tions and freedom from earping critiâ€" cism. The men promised Governâ€" ment jobs during an election campaign A cause of the better pay, better condiâ€" tions and freedom from earping critiâ€" cism. The men promised Governâ€" ment jobs during an election campaign are usually the type unfitted for such service and undeserving very often even from the party standpoint. That Mr. Néelands was a good man and filled the position well seems to be proven lby the general approval given bis work. This approval is summed up in the following lines by The Norâ€" thern News of Cobalt:â€"‘*Under the regime of Mr. Neelands the roadwork of the district has been conducted in a very efficient manuner, and his sucâ€" cesgor will be up against a stout proâ€" position to maintain the same service.
