MeLachlan this week received a letter from the Chief Constable at Ottawa, Ont., askinig for information regarding Daniel Nault, believed to be liviag in Timmins, Coâ€" balt or Sudbury, or known here. ‘The whereabouts of Mr. Nault will be very gladly received by his aged father now resident at Hull, at 22 evin .. The letter says that his father is now 82 years of age and very anxious to locate his son. Daâ€" niel Nault, according to the letter, left his home at Maniwaki in August, 1917, to go to Western Canada durâ€" in%]the harvest. Since that time his father has heard nothing of him, alâ€" though in 1918 he received word that his son had jbeen seen in Timmins, Cobalt and Sudbury. Since that time the mother has died and left Daniel Nault a‘considerable sum of money, and his father has also made proviâ€" sion for him in his will, according to the letter to Chief McLachlan..

Reference in one issue was made to the efforts along this line made by Mr. Geo, Preston. The Advance conâ€" cluded with these. words:â€"‘‘The benefit and convenience of a suitable permanent bridge over the Mattagami would be very great and it is to be hoped that the question ‘will not be allowed to drop."‘‘ Those who doubtâ€" ed this ten years ago might well ask themselves ‘toâ€"day how they would like to have the bridge over the Matâ€" tagami taken away. . . ‘ Ten years ago there was g’"‘.mééting'l at the New Empire theatre at which §}pqn‘éit addregses were given on the M.C.A. and the war.

H. Emery, underâ€" ground superintendent, and Mr. Vicâ€" tor Culbert, the company‘s geologist, had enlisted for_ overseas service. Mr. Emery who was awhrded a coniâ€" mission in the mining branch of the Canadian Engineers, was given a fareâ€" wall dinner by fellow members of the Hollinger staff and other friends at the home of Mr. A. R. Globe, assistâ€" ant manager of the Hollinger. On Behalf of the staff, Mr. Globe presentâ€" ed Lieut. Emery with a service patâ€" tern engineer‘s compass. A similar gift was on hand for Mr. Culbert, who also was awarded a commission in the Canadian Engineers, but who was unâ€" avoidably absent owing to a minor opex\ation he had performed previous to going overseas. On Thursday, June 2nd, 1917, Mr. An official statement® was issued early in June, 1917, to the effect that the dividend on the Hollinger which would ordinarily ‘be paid on the 18th, would not be distributed, nor would further dividends be paid until the labour situation had ‘improved.

Mclnnis, passed away at his home in Toronto. He was Clerk in Chambers of the High Court at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, for many years and examiner in law. He was a wellâ€"known athlete in his younger days, and a member of the Toronto Yacht Club and other sport clubs. He was also an enthusiâ€" astic militiaman, ‘being one of the veterans of the Northwest Rebellion when he served in the Queen‘s Own, a regiment in which he held the rank of major. He was a memberâ€"of the Church of England, and a man of high standing and greatly esteemed to a report that it was intended to use alien labour for the mines, payâ€" ing the aliens only 25 cents a day, the balance of the amount usually paid to go.to the Red. Crogss and other patriotic purposes. _ Hon. C. J.

Ten years ago Mr. Wm. De: Feu was one of a delegation approaching the Government at Ottawa relative The Advance ten years ago took much pleasure in . making extended reference to the fact that one of the popular oldâ€"timers of the North Land, Pte. Hugh McEachren, of the 87th Battalion, had been awarded the Miliâ€" tary Medal. ‘‘Pte. McBachren is wellâ€"known ‘ all _ ~the _ North Land,‘‘ said The Advance. ‘‘He was formerly foreman for Mr. Alex Stirâ€" ling on the Government road here, and he made his home with Mr. Stirling. When his good work at the front won him the coveted honour of the Miliâ€" tary Medal, he asked that the medal be sent om ‘here. ~ The North Land feels. a distinct honour in the award for courage and distinguished service thus given another of its own men.‘ ’ The Advance ten years ago pointed out that ‘‘patriotism and production‘‘ did not Sseem such an academic topic to the patrons of Timmins. restauâ€" rants.. At least a slight tasteâ€"a dry rice tasteâ€"of what was in store for the people unless the patriotism and production movement brought results, was given to all purchasing meals at the local cafes, for no potatoes were served with meals at practically all the restaurants in town. There were no potatoes in town. The Chinamen suggested that the the rice was just as good, but The Advance concluded that the rice was usually so dry that many circles im the city and proâ€" it seemed like adding insult to injury to serve it out in a dry town. _ Among the local and personal notes in The Advance were the following:â€"â€" ‘‘The Courtemanche block on Fourth avenue, which now also houses the municipal offiees, is putting up a finer front than ever, ‘havingâ€" been newly painted last week.‘‘ "‘Mrs. Wn:. Nicholson and son, Peter, left for Toâ€" ronto on the National: on Monday evening.‘‘ ‘‘At a meeting of the Cobalt town council last week it was decidâ€" ed to give notice to the Temiskaming Telepdne Co. to cease doing business‘ in the town at the expiration ef the franchise on the 19th counâ€" cil proposes to instal a municipal teleâ€" phone system.‘‘ *‘‘Timmins gave $92.00 to the National~Sanitariun for Consumptives at the recent subâ€" sceription taken up here.‘‘ ‘‘Kirkâ€" land Lake is organizing a baseball league for * thats, district.‘‘ ‘‘Mr. Frank Lendrum, formerly editor of The Cobalt Nugget, has gone to Sasâ€" katoon â€" to take a position with The Phoenix in that western city.‘‘ ‘@Sharp‘s Bay at New Liskeard has been closed to picnickers, owing to the nuisance and damage caused by some people, careless and worse.‘‘ ‘‘Fire Chief Borland went down Tuesday to attend the Cobalt Fireâ€" men‘s Ball. Mr. J. D. MacLean was in charge of the Brigade in the abâ€" sence of the chief.‘‘ ‘‘Mr. Hibbard, late of the Hollinger staff, and Mrs. Hibbard, left last week for Montreal, where they will take up residence.‘‘ ‘Mr. S. T. Rizzuto, proprietor of the Ideal Rooms and Billiard Parlour, who was taken ill last week, left on Monday evening for Toronto, to take treatment there from specialists.‘‘ ‘‘Mrs. J. M. Studor received official word last week informing her that her husband, Sergt. J. M. Studor, was in the hospitgl in France with laceratâ€" ed wounds in the hands and arm. He went overseas with the 228th, and has been in France for some months: All will wish that the injuries are not serious, and that Sergt. Studor makes a speedy and easy recovery.‘‘ HOWEY SHAFT NOW DOWN _ APPROXIMATELY 60 FEET, Sinking operations have gone into. full swing on Howey Gold Mines at Red Lake. The newâ€"mining plant is in operation, and the shaft is now at a depth of approximately sixty feet. The work will ibe carried to 500 feet in depth, probably with stations at four levels. The ore so far taken from the shaft so much higher in value than former diamond â€"drilling had indicated. Should this condition be a reflection of general results to be obtained, the Howey would automatically take on importance far greater"than hereto~ fore estimated. Last week at North Bay, Judge Leask sentenced Charles Sandrelli, of North Bay, to two months in jail on charge of unlawfully â€" wounding Thomas O‘Connor The latter‘s side of the case was to the effect that Sanâ€" drelli had attacked him with a hamâ€" mer while ‘he was getting into his cariâ€".O"*Connorâ€" suggested that Sanâ€" drelli had been offended at a harmless remark made ‘by O‘Connor as to Mrs. Sandrelli being m fineâ€"looking girl. Sandrelli, on the other hand assented that O‘Connor had insulted Mrs. Sanâ€" drelli, and Mrs.: Sandrelli‘s evidence confirmed this. Sandrélli and> gther witnesses for the defence elaimed that no hammer ‘had been used, and . that the injury to O‘Connor‘s head had been caused by contact with the ceâ€" ment falk when Sandrelli had knockâ€" ed him down. Chief Clark in his evidence told that Sandrelli had reâ€" marked to him that a hammer had SANDRELLI OF NORTH BAY GIVEN TWO MONTHS IN JAIL been used in selfâ€"defence. Judge Leask in regxstermg a conviction found that O‘Connior‘s conduct had provokâ€" ed the accused to such a degree that force would be warranted in resenting the affronts, but that the use of the hammer was not justified.
