It is a sad commentary on the Provincial Police that the best they can do apparently in the way of solving crimes is to accuse persons caught for other crimes by other, police. ‘The people of Cochrane are not likely to believe that the murderer of the little girl four years ago was any man who strayed into town to commit a murder or two and depart. The late Inspector Constable worked very diligently on the few clues available and honestly believed that he hbad traced the murderer. His views on the crime, however, did not apparently find support from the Provincial Police. Last October Inspector Constable himself was the victim of a foul and cowardly murder, and nothing has been done as yet to avenge his death. The people of this North will never be satisfied to simply have the blame for this murder.laid on the shoulders of some criminal convicted by some other police of some other crime. What the people desire is that the actual murderer be actually apprehended, tried and convicted. It is done elsewhere; why not in this North? | In discussing the question of the proposal to have a toll on the new North Land highway some of the newspapers appa.reri-tly overlook the important fact that such a toil plan would give the Government a much better opporâ€" tunity to safeguard the timber in the Temagami reserve. Also, the fee would help in paying for the maintenance of the camps ialong the route, an extra convenience not found on the ordinary highway. The Advance believes that some newspapers have not been exactly fair in so strenuously demianding that the highway be a ‘‘free gift to the North.‘‘ The North is not looking for ‘‘free gifts.‘‘ ‘The North Land will be perfectly satlsfied if the Government will simply give such aid as will assist the North in its development. mins team was "Timmins and Melntyre.‘‘ Naturally ‘Timmins and Mcâ€" Intyre‘‘ won over ‘‘MeIntyre.‘‘ The lesson is that unity and combination are hard to beat. - Comment is boastingly made by i London, Ontario, newspaper that a commltted thirtyâ€"eight brutal murders during several years of residence in the United States and was not apprehended for any of these fearful crimes, but when he committed two murders in Canada in the course of a few hours, it was only a day or two before he was captured and placed on trial for his life. Canada has no right to boast in this way. The North Land has a series of murders for which no one has paid the penalty of the law. The Jast cowardly crime was the murder of Inspector Constable at Cochrane. In degling with this crime the Provincial Police did not even succeed in lookâ€" ing wise. In the Temiskaming baseball league game on Monday at Timming, the contending teams were ‘‘Timmins and MclIntyre.‘‘ The battery for the Timâ€" This is the diamond jubilee of the confederation of the Dominion of Canada, so any jeweler will tell you it is in order for you to give your mother, your, father, your wife or anybodg else‘s wife, your son, daughter, manserâ€" vant, or mald.servant a diamond to commemorate the occasion. ~There has been considerable discussion as to a national bird for Canada. A prospector just driven in from Kamiskotia suggests the Black Fly. ‘‘The Black Fly this year is some bird,‘‘ he says. A prospector, was greeted by a friend on the street this week. ‘‘I thought you were in Kamiskotia,‘‘ said the friend. ‘"So I was,‘‘ the prosâ€" pector replied. ‘‘How did you get back so soon?‘‘ was the next question. ‘©Drove back!‘‘ said the prospector. ‘‘Who drove you back?‘‘ queried the friend, and the prospector answered, "The Black Flies!‘‘ The same black flies have driven most of the prospectors back from Kamiskotia. It is pracâ€" tically impossible for men‘to carry on their assessment work on account of the viciousness this year of the black flies, One mining company is said to be carrymg on exploratmn work and development at night, the men sleeping by day in flyâ€"proof tents. As soon as the black flies locate the fireâ€"flies, they will go after these mining men with lanterns, as the Irishman: said. â€"It is hard to outguess the North Land black fly. Until the prospectors can train the black flies to do diamond drilling, the Ontario Department/of Mines should take cognizance of the situation and make some allowance or extension of time on claims where the black flies reign supreme. Some week ago a patriotic citizen asked how best he might decorate his residence property for the Diamond Jubilee Celebration. The answer was and is, by a neat lawn, flowers, trees, and wellâ€"kept premises. The fathers of Confederation will be more flattered by beautiful home grounds than by many flags and much bunting. Also, it may be noted that the British flag flies more proudly and feels more at home where the grass is green and wellâ€" caredâ€"for and where everything is neat and clean. A Toronto reporter last week claimed to have been attacked by wolves when on: his way toward Kamiskotia. A prize of a sunkist prune will be given to the flxrt young lady who will guess the name of the Toronto paper represented by that reporter. He proudly exhibited the gashes on his face qnd neck where the fangs of the wolvs had torn his flesh before he was able to eseape. On the back of hls coat collar was found one of the ‘black flies that did it. yk By actual count there were 336.appeals heard by the council court of revision on the a.ssessment roll this year. Number 2 subâ€"division had the largest number of appeals,â€"63. Subâ€"division No. 5 (the Hollinger townsite) did not have a single appeal, and No. 6, adjoining also was without an appeal. The 336 cases included cases whm lots or parts of lots were asseased to for- Eol esP C mer ewners, change of‘*ownershxp not bemg known to the officials. â€" These cases and swhr technical errors were grouped under heading of ‘‘corâ€" rectxons t*. The ‘corrections totalled: 38. There were 158 assessments snsâ€" tamed ‘and 140 reductions made. In most cases the reductions made were not \ery!m, the mmcnt as a whole hemg very gwerally sustained. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 80th, 1927 GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER s uie d es o h tPc Telephones Residence 70 What the Dominion Possesses in this : Year of the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation. The forest areas stand second only to arable lands among the basic reâ€" sources of the Dominion, and forest industries have been surpassed by agâ€" riculture alone in fostering commerâ€" cial growth. Even the work of ascerâ€" taining the actual extent of her comâ€" mercial forests is still far from comâ€" plete, \at a rough estimate approxiâ€" mately oneâ€"quarter (600,000,000 acres) of the total land area in the Dominâ€" ion is covered by forest growth. Briâ€" tish Columbia contains over twoâ€"thirds of the merchantable .sawâ€"timber of Canada; the forests of the Middle West will probably be required to supply the local demand; twoâ€"thirds of the newsprint paper consumed in the United States is eithereof Canaâ€" dian manufacture or is made from wood or woodpulp imported from Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, and British Columbia. ’ It has been said that Canada as a whole is really much younger comâ€" mercially than politically. Her mere surface area of land water amounts to three and threeâ€"quarter million square miles. The Prairie Provinces produce nearly over 600,â€" 000,000 bushels of wheat and oats as a contribution to the food supply of the world, and little more than oneâ€"fifth of the total 300,000,000 acres believed to be fit for agncultural purâ€" poses have been placed under field crops. The remaining fourâ€"fifths are capable of sustaining many added millions of population, and they inâ€" clude an immense acreage already rlpe for settlement. The actual extent of, Canada‘s waterâ€"powers, like that of its forests, has been by no means fully ascerâ€" tained, but the available and develâ€" oped horseâ€"power (waterâ€"power) is reckoned to be over thirty million over four and half million of which are already installed, namely in Onâ€" tario and Quebecâ€"Ontario having the largest hydroâ€"electric distribution sysâ€" tem known. The figures show that Oanada ranks second only to Norway in the per capita utilization of waterâ€" power and the average is more than thrée times that of the United States. There are millions of water horseâ€" power now under development about Lake St. John and the Gatineau River in Quebec; while the horse power of such rivers as the Nelson and Churchâ€" ill, to say nothing of those in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, run into more millions, which will, one day, be . 2 harnéessed and transmitted far and Few countries possess greater coal resources than Canada, which is estiâ€" mated to possess oneâ€"sixth of the total amountâ€"of coal in the world. Long before the exceptional producâ€" tion stimulated by the War, the Doâ€" minion had become the world‘s prinâ€" cipal sounce of nickel, asbestos and cobalt, and an important producer of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and a pumber of rarer metals. Five of the nine provinces of the Dominion share substantially in mining activity, alâ€" though Ontario leads her sisters by a considerable margin.. Not only on the Atlantic but also on the Pacific Coast and in her fresh water areas Canada possesses fisherâ€" ies of exceptional value. Two of the four ‘great sea fishing areas of the world border on the Dominion, and, in addition, her lakes and rivers conâ€" stitute approximately oneâ€"half of the fresh water of the globe, while the great inland sea of Hudson‘s Bay, still practically untouched, can be reâ€" garded as a reserve. The Atlantic coast line measures over 5,000 miles; the Pacific shore line, over 7,000 miles ; the fresh water lakes of the interior constitute an area of 220,000 square miles. ' | s Every province shares substantially in the returns derived from fur reâ€" sources, and very effort is being made through the enforcement of trapping restrictions, the creation_of sanctuâ€" aries, the supervision of the fur trade and close study of the annual catch, to guard against depletion. ERIK KORRI NAMED AT "INQUEST INTO DBATH The jury sitting at Cochrane on the case this week returned a verdict to the effect that John Ollilla came to his death at the Cochrane hospital as a result of wounds inflicted by Erik Korri at Connaught on May 16th, 1927. Korri is now in jail at Haileyâ€" bury on a charge of attempted murder and this charge may now be cha%et}; to a straight murder .charge. Eviâ€" dence at the inquest was given by Pro+ vincial Officers Delves and Craik, Dr; Day, Osear Kari, Dr. Paul and Dr. Piron. Kari, who was a constable in Finland, told of being at Ollilla‘s ‘shack at Connaught on the night of May 15th. There had been a little drinking. He left the shack for. a time and when he returned he found Korri and Ollilla in a battle. The former had a knife and slashed at ‘Ollilla. Kari eventually got the knife away from Korri, but himself received cuts before he could do so. OlHilla was badly slashed up and bled proâ€" fusely. J. N. Reed, of Los Angeles. Caliâ€" fornia, is wisiting in town for a few days, seeing to the repair of the Reed block after the recent fire and other matters arising from theâ€"fire.> council‘s court of revision on the assessment roll has practically concluded 1.work for the year. The ‘chief feature of interest last week was the appeal of the Hollinger Conâ€" solidated . against certain assessments. Council reduced the assessment on the athletic gronnds to a nominal figure as in years past, this beingâ€"a losing venture for the Hollmger, and a beneâ€" ‘fAt to the public. The rink was asâ€" sessed at practically the same as last year. The chief appeal was in conâ€" nection with the company‘s claim of exemption by daw from taxation on the majortiy of"bu\ldmgs on the minâ€" ing property. Mr. Dean Kester soliâ€" citor for the town in the case, cited an interpretation pf the section of the act rel@ting to e ptions on mine property, as laid down by the Railway and Municipal Board. According to this interpretation only buildings on the property actually an integral part of ore production are exempted. He held that the fact that concentrating and sampling plants were specified and machine shops, office and other buildings not mentioned, could be taken. that the latter were not exempt. Mr. J. B. Holden, solicitor for the Hollinger, referred to the fact that when the act was framed few, if any, mines in the province had any other buildings than a mill and a storeâ€" house for ore. ‘He thought it was the idea of the law to exempt the buildâ€" ings used in connection with mining operations. He suggested that if the council court of revision felt that it ~could not interpret the act authoritaâ€" tively, an appeal to the next court in ;the matter might be fyled. The counâ€" "eil court of revision granted tax exâ€" emption to a sample house and o'ravel bucket shed, but the assessment on the other bulldmgs was maintained. ,It may be noted in passing that the Holhnger did not put in an appeal against a single house owned by them, though some of the Hollinger houses were increased very materially in asâ€" sessment this year. / Court of Revision Disallows Claim Exaggeration is the gpoison that kills confidence.â€"Joe Cearboro.
