The call letters of the La Presse radio station are ‘*CKAK,"" and the wave length is 411 meters. This is one of the most powerful stations in Canada and the committee of the Conâ€" gress believe that mining men in nearâ€" ly all parts of the Dominion will be able to keep in touch with the Conâ€" gress ‘banquet, through the courtesy of the Honourable P. R. Du Trembley in placing La Presse radio station at the service of the Congress. In connection with the Empire Minâ€" ing Congress in Canada this year, a banquet will be given by the Congress to members and guests in the hall of the Windsor Hotel, Montreal, on Tuesday evening, Aug. 23rd, at 7 p.m. to meet the Hon.

The forest floor absorbs most of the water from rain and melting snows, releasing it evenly and regularly into the streams, so that there will not be floods and the fertility of farm lands will not be destroyed by erosion. Trees restore the fertility of waste lands by causing the accumulation of vegetation that a topâ€"soil and contributes elements essential to plant life. Trees shade streams from the sun, preventing evaporation and complete drying up of small streams. Forests break the force of the wind, protecting homes, orchards and erops. There are so many trees in this country that we are all so close to trees that we are prone not to appreciâ€" ate them. A writer, who had given some special study to trees and their virtues, recently summarized the value of trees from many viewpoints. This summary was published in The Canâ€" ada Lumberman :â€" Trees protect health by helping to purify the air. The foliage of trees exudes moisture in rainless periods, preventing exâ€" treme hot weather. THE BEAUTY, HEALTH ANO HELPFULNESS ODF TREFS In Timmins and district there should be special interest in this parâ€" ticular broadcasting, and it may be noted that Mr. F. A. McLean, convenâ€" or of the press and radio committee, 808 New Birks building, Montreal, P.Q., would be pleased to hear from any her receiving the programme on the evening of Aug. 23d. Review of Some of the Virtues of Trees, A Poor Place Where There are No Trees. Englehart is coming in for some criticism recently, whether deserved or not. The medical health officer at Englehart is reported to have sent a young man suffering from searlet fever a distance of some 400 miles to the town of Whitby for treatment, the trip being made by auto. The Whitâ€" by council has made a protest against the matter, alleging that the action of the medical health officer was taken without consultation with the muiciâ€" pal officers at Whitby, who might have suggested some other plan. The sick man was motored from Englehart to Whitby, a distance of over 400 miles. This trip cost $150.00 and the Whitby people think the expense could have pbeen avoided. On the other hand the medical health officer says it was impossible to get a place to isolate the young man who was tafken ill at Englehart with scarlet fever. ‘‘Reared from his early manhood in a mining atmosphere, Mr. McCrea became familiar with mining law and mining affairs, and in particular, saw nickel mining emerge from its early struggles to its present commanding position. _ Mining with prospectors, promoters, investors, and every varieâ€" ty of man interested in mining, Mr. MceCrea had the immense advantage of ‘being an expert in his subject beâ€" fore being placed at the head of the Mines Department., It is not too much to say that he has the entire confidence of the whole Northern â€" Ontario, whether political friend or political foe, and from the humblest prospector to the largest capitalist. ‘‘Desirous ofr cementing the Imperiâ€" al ties, and of obtaining a larger measâ€" ure of coâ€"operation ‘between British capital and Ontario mining, he visited London in 1924. He was received with great heartiness, and striking a new note in his public utterances while in London, was markedly sucâ€" cessful in directing the attention of English capital and mining companies to the favourable field for investment in Ontario. ‘‘Since he became Minister of Mines he has vigorously pursued a policy of exploration and investigaâ€" tion of the known mineral areas, and has also pushed his geologists farther and farther out into the practically untroden wilderness of the North to locate ground for prospectors. _ The geological reports and maps issued by his Department are recognized as being of a high order of excellence. They are in great demand not only in Canada but in the United Stated and elsewhere. ‘*Elected to the Legislative Assemâ€" bly for the constituency of Sudbury as a Conservative, in 1911, he was reâ€"elected in 1914, 1919 and 1923, and again by acclamation of 1926. ‘‘In the Legislature Mr. MeCrea is a good speaker and debater. In priâ€" vate intercourse he is engaging in manner and never loses his temper. The Department is his ‘‘hobby."‘ In the prime of life, an athlete in perâ€" son, Mr. McCrea‘s great work for the mining industry of Ontario may be expected to continue, in the hope that within his term of office he may see its bounds set higher yet, and his hope realized that the outpouring of Onâ€" tario‘s mineral wealth may be magniâ€" fied and increased with the passage of the years."‘ ‘‘The Hon. Charlese McCrea was born at Springtown in Renfrew counâ€" ty in 1877, of Irishâ€"Scotch parentage. He was educated at the Renfrew separate school and high school, and read law in the office of Hon. T. W. McGarry, late Provincial Treasurer of Ontario. He was called to the Onâ€" tario Bar, and in. 1901 commenced the practice of law at Sudbury, the seat of the nickel industry. He was electâ€" ed a Bencher of the Law Society of Upper ©Canada, and appointed K.. SAID TO HAVE SHIPPED SICK MAN OVER 400 MILES **When the Hon. George Howard Ferguson became premier of Ontario in 1923, he chose Honourable Charles McCrea, K.C., the subject of our sketch to ibe his Minister of Mines. The greater part of the domain adâ€" ministered by the Department of Mines lies in the northern part of Ontario, that vast hinterland which stretches from the upper great lakes to the shores of James Bay and Hudâ€" son‘s Bay. In this extensive region the growing and steadily expanding mining 1ndust1v of the Province has firmly established itself, and it was natural that the representatne of that industry in the Provincial cabinet should be a man from the North. In connection with the British Emâ€" pire Mining Congress, which will open at Montreal on Aug. 22nd, and the members of which will be at Timmins on September 1st and the previous evening, a bulletin is being issued reâ€" gulary to keep mining men in close touch with the proceedings as outlinâ€" ed and plans under way. This bulâ€" letin is called ‘*‘The Congress News,"! and each issue contains much interâ€" esting matter. In one of the issues the following sketch of Hon. Charles McCrea, K.C., is printed, together with a halfâ€"tone photo of Ontario‘s popular and able Minister of Mines: Minister of Mines for Ontario is One of the Viceâ€"Presidents of the Empire Mining Congress THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO y By virtue of a warrant issued by the Reeve of theâ€"T(;v:'x,Jship of Whitney bearing date the 6th day of June 1927, and to me directed, commanding me to levyâ€"upon the several lands being in the Township of Whitney, menâ€" tioned and described in the following list of ar rears of taxes respectively due thereon and costs, I hereby give notice pursuant to the Assessment Act and amendments that unless the said arrears of taxes and costs be sooner paid I shall on Friday, 7th October, 1927, at 10 a.m., at the Township Hall, at Porcupine, proceed to sell by public auction so much of the sa}d lands as may be sufficient to discharge the taxes and lawful costs incurred in and about the sale and collections of same. The first of the Thursday afternoon alarms was from Box 52 at about 52 minutes past one o‘clock and the fire was at 52 Main avenue. It will be noted that ‘©52"‘ is exactly four times the supposedly unlucky ©‘13."‘‘ Howâ€" ever, there was more good luck than ill about this fire. The fire was at the residence of Mrs. Lefebvre, who atâ€" tempted to start a fire in the stove by pouring some gasoline from a pail onâ€" to the wood in the stove. The gasoâ€" line exploded, and Mrs. Lefebvre was burned a little about the arms, but escaped more serious harm, though it was a narrow escape. The burning gasoline ran along the floor but when Mrs. Lefebvre dashed water on it, the flood of water swept most of the flames out through the door. The brigade soon eliminated all chance of TWO FIRE ALARMS ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON Martin Caron, the contractors for the new C.A.S. Shelter for the disâ€" trict, being built at the corner of Vimy Road and Hollinger Lane, are making excellent progress in the work of construction, andâ€"are also doing good work, taking their usual pride in the best workmanship even on the parts that will be hidden from sight when the building is completed. At present eight carpenters are busy on the work and the frame is rapidly takâ€" ing form and shape. â€" Special care seems to be taken in the work and at the same time speed is also the order of the day. The contractors expect to have the building all completed early in September. There were two responses made by the Timmins brigade to fire alarms on Thursday afternoon last, but fortunâ€" ately neither fire caused any particuâ€" lar damage. The first fire, however, was one caused by exploding gasoline, and the lady who used the explosive oil for fireâ€"lighting purposes had a narrow escape from serious injury, or worse.

Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Clark, who will proceed with him to Kome to take up the study of languâ€" ages. The second call was to 53 Hollinger Lane, a vacant house owned by Mr. Mondeaux. WThe fire apeared to be of incendiary origin, as there was no observable cause to account for the blaze, the place being untenanted and no one having lawful excuse for visitâ€" ing it. Whether the fire started outâ€" side or inside is not known, there beâ€" ing some fire both inside and out the house. _ Evidently, however, the fire was caused ‘by someone who had no right on the premises at all, the owner not being near the place, and there being no tenant or even prospective tenant on the place. _ The fire was extinguished by the use of the big chemical tank. About $50.00 damage was done. In the case of both alarms the fire truck and brigade made their regular speedy response. 2t 2 4t 2282282 2%2 2* 2222 2%2 28. .*, .obooooooooooooo‘o‘o’uo«u‘o‘o‘o’.‘o‘o‘o’o. fire.
