The Empire Mining and Metallurgical Congress now on tour of Canada and at present visiting in Timmins is undoubtedly the most important group of visitors to come to this camp in the few years of its history. The Conâ€" gress includes the leading experts of the wideâ€"spread mining industry of the worldâ€"covering British Empire. It is not too much to say that the members of the Congress comprise the choice of the brains of the world‘s mining industry. It includes experts from many countriesâ€"men of courage, skill, vision and wide knowledge. To have these men visit Timmins and the Poreuâ€" pine should have wideâ€"reaching effects. What this country really needs is attention to the opportunities for development so that capital may be atâ€" tracted here, and prospects turned into working mines. _ Those who know this counitry know that its resources are immense. That even with the greatest individual goldâ€"producing mine in the world, and with others that promise to attain almost as high place, the ‘*surface of this country has searcely been scratched as yet.‘‘ The measure of development, as it has been, is small compared to the possibilities the country seems to hold out. It is not only a country of gold, but of copper, asbestos, lead, zine and other valuâ€" able metals and minerals. It needs the vision of experts like the members of the Empire Mining and Metallurgical Congress to be able to vision and grasp the real possibilities of this country. ‘The people of the North have every faith and belief in the wonderful resources of the Poreupine area. What is needed is to spread this faith and belief to the people of the outside world, so that advantage may be taken of the opportunities and men and money may be available to develop the wealth that is in the country. The visit from the Mining and Metallurgical Congress will be of the greatest advantage in spreading the truth regarding the treasures of this part of the North. The present visitors can know and visualize what is here and what may further be developed. The effecet of their visit should mean an increased interest in this promising North. It is a matter for regret that a longer time than one day could not be .1.\" (l( ral C y S € ht > 11 C sp excuse ftor it sectl There will be very general satisfaction at the announcement made this week by Premier Ferguson that the Ontario Government is going to make earnest effort to curb the damage and destruction being caused by the motor menace Figures from the Dominion Statistical Department show that in Canada last year no less than 606 deaths resulted from motor car accidents. â€" In Ontario alone there were 242 deaths due to the motor ear menace. These figures have only to be compared with the deatlr rate from other causes in the province for the fact to be apparent that something should be done to stop the slaughter by. the automobile. There is ogcasionally much talk about the death roll from forest fires. More lives have been lost in the last year from motor accidents than in the ten years previous from forest fires. Often the dangers that are supposed to accompany the work of miners is emâ€" phasized. The deaths through mine accidents in a period of ten years will not exceed the motor ecar‘s death roll for a single year. Money and effort almost to the with in the hc possible.

The proposal may please automobile owners who have been annoyed and injured by the theft of their icars. But punishments should not be designed to pander to the revengeful feelings of aggrieved persons. Even judges should know that punishments are required only for reformation of the eriminal. The lash should be reserved for those guilty of brutal crimes. Stealing an automobile is not a brutal erime, even though the owner of the stolen car be a judge who has lost a came of golf by reason of the erime. A much more judicial sugâ€" eestion would be the proposal to make the lash applicable to drivers of autoâ€" mobiles who endanger the lives of the people by reckless driving or driving a car while ill with too much intoxicating liquor. also very rightly objects to the unnecessary, senseless and eruel way in which entirely innocent relatives, friends and acquaintances of those concerned have been dragged into the lime4light of publicity in the effort to make a startling sensation of which appears to be no more than a series of petty thefts. The Ontario Government has made a grant of $2,500.00 to the widow ot the late Inspector Constable who was murdered at Cochrane on October 14th, 1916. In making the grant the Government is showing a proper disposition. Inspector Constable was a faithful, able and loyal officer, as well as a good citizen of the North Land. There is no doubt that he was foully murdered because he did his duty and could not be turned from doing that duty by any bribe or threat. A Toronto despatch this week in announcing the grant made to Mrs. Constable, remarks that the inspector had been very vigilant in enâ€" forcing the Ontario Temperance Act in his territory, and that ‘"‘"the slaying was thought to have been the work of a bootlegger‘s hireling.‘‘ The Governâ€" ment is to be commended for recognizing the services of a loyal and efficient officer who was not too well paid in life. But there is still one thing that the Government should do, and that is to secure the cowardly murderer of Inspector Constable and have justice done in this case. In the meantime, even a more material grant to the widow of this efficient officer and good day or night. In the cities toâ€"day even the motorists are not safe. There were occasional **holdâ€"ups‘‘ in the Porcupine years ago, but they were rare, as most men were able to walk unassisted. The Klondyke was all right, but the Poreupine was the prince of them all. Ask any oldâ€"timer! Most of the roughness and crime in the mining camps of this great North existed only in the imagination of city newspapers, often the victims of‘the oldâ€"timers‘ love for what is scientifically known as *‘‘*stringing,‘‘ the greenhorn. The minfng camps of the North were orderly, lawâ€"abiding and respectable, beâ€" cause as the motion picture titles say, ‘‘men were men,‘‘ and women were women, and children were children, and all were good sports. There have been pages upon pages, day after day, in the daily newsâ€" papers in regard to the supposedly terrible crime wave in the Beeton, Onâ€" tario, district, yet it remained for a local weekly, The Barrie Examiner, to zive the most complete, accurate and intelligent story of the crimes. The Exammer account is very comprehensible and very readable yet is confined to facts and to the business at issue. People with distant connections with those charged with the crimes are not dragged into the story, and the standâ€" points of common sense and fairness are kept constantly in view. Very rightly, The Examiner is inclined to ridicule the stand of some of the sensaâ€" 6 tional dailies who have sent seven and eight men to Beeton to ‘‘cover‘‘ this ‘ase. â€" Instead of there being Hundreds of charges, as the daily newspapers S1 seventyâ€"five per ations of the m« locked. â€" The wh CcrLIm( A South Poreupine business firm has found that the accounts due it are not always settled promptly when rendered. This state of affairs makes for poor business and in searching for a sentence to print on the accounts to induce more prompt attention, the South Poreupine firm eventually adopted this slogan which is now printed on the bottom of all its account forms:â€"â€" ‘*Please be a good SETTLER of this North Land.‘‘ The need of this counâ€" € trvy, speaking literally as well as metaphorically, is "good settlers.""‘ Good v J , * a " settlers make good business, a good country and a good life. but the "*nut ble is not thirtvâ€"one head of fool of tions that the town see about the town and district itizen would not THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 1iIm sum of not more th whiff of uty t «es at one 118C [‘ ) () 1 1 h« )] t.
