A spectally large attendance is deâ€" sired as there are many important questions to be dealt with by the orâ€" ganization. _ One of these questions is the reâ€"stocking of the lakes of the district with fish, andâ€"another is the yeneral thought of the education of the public to the necessity for the conservin@ and protecting of fish and game in the district. In the past much has been accomâ€" plished along these lines by the orâ€" vanizations of the district but it is felt that still further effort is necesâ€" sary at this time. With the compleâ€" tion of the trunk road this summer, and the influx of tourists that will folâ€" low on the completion of the highway, the necessity for activity in fish and zgame conservation, and in the reâ€" stocking of the waters of the district ANOTHER SUGCESS SCORED 8y Large Audience Delighted With Event at Goldfields Theatre on Sunday Evening.

LAWL PIES IN SUDBUR Last night Mrs. TX JMLawlor reâ€" ceived the sad newg¢ by wre of the death at Sudbury oÂ¥ her mother, Mrs. C. Laronde. Three days before Mrs. Laronde had ‘been in her usual good health, but caught a cold, and it is thought that pneumonia developed. She pased away about half past seven last night. Mrs. Lawlor left this (Thursday) morning for Sudbury to attend the funeral of her mother. The funeral will likely be held on Monday, as that is probably the earlâ€" est time that sons of the iate Mrs. Larâ€" onde residing in Chicago and other distant parts will be able to arrive to pay their last sad respects to their mother. Paid Circulation Last Week IS WEEK will be more evident than in the past. To meet the new situation the coâ€" operation of all is essential. Withâ€" out watchfulness and care, the disâ€" trict would soon find itself without either fish or game. Such a result is ecertainly to be avoided, and it is well for all to know that it is not necesâ€" sary. â€" Of course, to prevent it, there will require to be attention, considerâ€" ation and effort gives to the question and there will also need to be genâ€" eral coâ€"operation of all interested. For this reason it is especially desired that all interested turn out to the meeting on Friday evening, Feb. 18th, ready to give the assistance of their l\nm\ledge, advice and effort for the general benefit. â€" The matter is of partlcular importance to all in the district. Let there be a big‘ attendâ€" ance at the town hall Friday evening of next week Feb. 18th, at 7.30, for the annual meeting of the Poreupine Rod and Gun Club. on Western fuel SILVER H[Pflfllfll FOUNXG T0 NORTH / OF COGHRANE so JBA ulmn; 0J MolA B [JIM A9IUIA J ModIAII}UM OJ â€"vuajut stt poserppap sey oma ‘g4aqpy mAog gsoJ Cw ‘puepen ‘f ‘4 YHINMHMJd HLIA WHYTTOMAJA TVOD SSADSIG OL Nusgzets Picked Up About Twentyâ€" Five Miles East of Smoky Falls on the Abitibi River. In case of the silver find turning out well, it will have the effect of centreâ€" 1ng the attention of mining men and prospectors on the country north of Cochrane. interest of that kind in the territory between Island Falls and the James Bay would again direct attention to the matter of the compleâ€" tion of the T.

Indeed, with promising â€" mining camp opened north of Island Falls ® would mean that the Ontario Governâ€" ment would be practically impelled to take up the extension of the railway north of Island Falls, as Premier Ferâ€" guson is practically pledged to such policy in casé there are material mineral finds made in the territory north of Cochrane. . Because of this there will be very special interest in the reported silver find on the Abitibi river.

Often there is an interesting story hidden in statistical reports issued by the Government departments, alâ€" though the said reports may appear dull and forbidding to the casual glance. There is a case in point in connection with the summary of Caâ€" nada‘s foreign trade for 1926 as isâ€" sued this week by the Dominion Burâ€" eau of Statistics. Referring to the decline in the exports of Canada for 1926, as compared with the figures for 1925, the report proceeds to give reasons to show why the decline is not ‘as serious as it might at first apâ€" pear. ‘*‘The most notable decrease 1in Caâ€" nadian exports,"‘ says the report, "occurred in the item of goldâ€"bearing quartz and nuggets, which, for 1925 to 1926, decreased from ‘$31,433,000 to â€"$7,340,000 or $24,003,000. The production in 1925 was valued at $35,â€" 880,000, and in 1926 at $35,749,000, and consequently the decrease in exâ€" ports was not the result of a decrease in nroduction.
