TWINS BORN IN FAMILY FOR THE FOURTH OCCASION Some people have all the luck! A despatch from Quebec last week says that for the fourthâ€"time in their eight years of marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Gaudias Bouchard of Valin River, Chicoutimi, were blessed with a visit of the stork which added two more members to their family. The couple were married eight years ago, and they have now a family of twelve children. . Four times in succession the additions came in the form of twins. Mr ronto MR.

MUCH FOR DEVELOPMENT Interesting Information Given at Anâ€" nual Session of the Land Surveyors at Ottawa. In this new North Land the making of maps and the exploring and chartâ€" ing of the country is of very special inporntance. _ Accordingly the land surveyor should have particular attenâ€" tion, and to all the recent annual sesâ€" sion of the Dominion Land Surveyors, held at Ottawa, will be of particular importance. School geographies and even the best of government maps have shown this stream as heading a relatively short distance northeast of Lake Athabaska. Last summer G. H. Blanâ€" chet, ,D.L.S., made an exptratory trip into the country northeast of the Athabaska, selecting for the first part of his journey %@ traditional Indian route from Tazin Lake to the headâ€" waters of the Thelon river. A river known to the natives as ‘*Skin of an Animal *‘ was ascended to a plateau 1,â€" G00 feet above Lake Athebaska, where another river was discovered flowing northeast along Hearne‘s course of the Thelewaze river (supposed to be the Thelon). This river after flowing one hundred miles in the desired direcâ€" tion, turned southeasterlyâ€"instead of northerlyâ€"and joined Dubawnt river at Wholdala lake. Thus the exploraâ€" tion removes the myth of the Thelon headwaters which has persisted for 150 years, since Hearne‘s time. The myth as to the headwaters of the Thelon river, one of the great rivers of Northern Canada, was one of the geographical mysteries solved by a topographical surveyor during the field season of 1926, according to the report of the topographical surâ€" veys committee, presented by R. W. Cautley, D.L.S., at the annual conâ€" vention of Dominion Land Surveyors. ‘Mr. Cautley referred to the *‘ pracâ€" tieally unexplored, uninhabited and almost totally unsurveyed‘‘ portion of Canada as the larger part of this country, and stressed the need of reâ€" liable maps in connection with the velopment which is always retarded, forest in ‘this great hinterlandâ€"deâ€" velopment which is always retarted, and in some cases, made impossible for want of them. Discovery of the great mining camps of Cobalt (1908), Poreupine (1909), Kirkland Lake (1911), Rouyn (1923) and Red Lake (1925) waited on and followed railâ€" way construction. ~ Wireless telegraphy and air flying â€"the two most amazing developments of modern scienceâ€"are being utilized by the topographical surveyor in makâ€" inz known this north roun}ryâ€"in placing on the maps the maze of rivers and lakes which will? make it possible for the prospector to enter the counâ€" try, and to travel in whatever direcâ€" tion he pleases. Transportation, Mr. Cautley said, is not difficult in Northâ€" ern Ontario and Quebec, but the lakes are irregular, and deeply indented, and the traveller must know how far it is expedient for him to follow any one particular system of waterways before transferring by portage to anâ€" other, the existence of which he must also know about. Aerial photographs used in conjuncâ€" fion with the ground work of the topographical surveyor is providing this information, and Mr) Ahutley reported that last summer the Topoâ€" «raphical Survey of Canada had four parties engaged on this work in Northâ€" ern Ontario, and that the Royal Canâ€" adian Air Foezee worked in econjuncâ€" tion with the Survey in taking photoâ€" graphs. Te 6 oo % % * ; va Sealed Cartons Only â€" FROST, WATER AND POLES FIGURE IN ODD INCIDENT An interesting and unusual inciâ€" dent was recently recounted by The Burks Falls Arrow. It is a queer enough case for the southeast corner of ‘The Toronto Globe. The Arrow tells the story as follows, and it is immateral to The Advance whether you ‘believe it or not. Here it is:â€"â€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘‘Last â€" Wednesday â€" morning â€" we witnessed one of the queerest sights it has ever been our lot to see. With the thermometer registering about thirty below zero, two cedar telephone poles within a few yards of The Arâ€" row office door were gushing forth water from knot holes gbout a foot aâ€" bove the ground and the volume beâ€" ing exuded would be about that from an ordinary house service faucet when half open. Ait first we could not believe our own eyes. Then when we tried to account for it we could_ hardly eredit our own concluâ€" sions. was â€"happening this the water service â€" leading _ into Sharpe‘s store had burst. The f=ozen ground was too hard for the water to force its way through so it was folâ€" lowing the course of least resistance and flowed up the hollow butts of the telephone poles and found its way out through the knot holes. Before Comâ€" missioner Blackeley finally shut the water off the water foreed its way ten feet up the inside of the poles and dropped to the ground from a knot hole hich above one‘s head.‘"‘ related and new information gatherâ€" ed, from which national maps are preâ€" pared. mss s Lo 4 In western Canada, the Dominion Land System of Surveysâ€"a system of surveying land which covers a greater area than ‘any iother Ipreconceived method of subdividing land for setâ€" tlement in any part of the worldâ€" provides the basis for mapping, and that adequate mapping of this vasi area was conceived at an early date is shown in the naming of the survey organization. The _ iTopographical Survey has lately been able to devote more of its energy to this, one of its original pbjectives. . Je Dominion land surveyors, Mr. Cautâ€" ley pointed out, were last season enâ€" caged in mapping in twentyâ€"one areas of â€" Canada. These were sceattered throughout all the provinces and two parties invaded the Northwest Terriâ€" tories. The work ranged from the highly detailed map of areas of great economic importance to the exploraâ€" tion work of the north, where, in adâ€" dition to solving the mystery of the headwaters of aâ€"river, an investigaâ€" tion was made with a view to showing on a map the feeding resources of the new Wood Buffalo Park. The growing tourist traffic in Canâ€" ada was not being overlooked by the map makers, Mr. Cautley pointed out, and three parties were engaged in mapping areas decidedly attractive to tourists. In British (Columbia, the photoâ€"topographic system of survey, developed to a high degree of perfecâ€" tion in Canada, was being utilized to portray the relief ofâ€" mountainous areas, the rivers, creeks and trails which would make the glories of the Selkirk mountains accesgible to the tourist. The boundaries of the latest addition to Canada‘s chain of mounâ€" tain â€" parksâ€"Kootenay _ Parkâ€"were also delineated during the season. Mrs. K. Radeliffe, of Haleybury, is the guest of Mrs,. G.

The Tuxis won with a 5 to 4 sceore. This is the third win for the Tuxis boys who are showing a nice aptitude for gond hockey.

There was a good attendance and all the players on both teams played well. ~Theâ€"evenesy of the play may be judged from the fact that the seore was tied three times during the natech and the final score was only one up. The referee was Mr. Jack Walker who saw that the boys played hockey, and the way they accepted his deâ€" cisions shows that the lads were ready fo learn and anxious to play the game. k L P EmE «s JbA y _ Tuxisâ€"Ray, geal; Wadsworth and Rupert, defence; Laflamme, centre; Hudson and Lortle, wings; Donaldâ€" son, Ellies and Geo.
