_ _ OpeHorrupine Abuance At a recent meeting in Toronto of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty _to Animals, dog team racing was condemned in wholesale way. The meeting was unanimous in the matter ‘because it is probable that not a single person in attendance‘had ever witnessed a dog derby such as the Porcupine Dog Race. The meeting had the idea that the dog races are-objectaionable' on the grounds of their being cruel to the dogs. The Toronto Star, with more tbhan its usual acumen, points out that it is not the racing dog teams, but the erdinary working dog teams, that are liable to be abused. Racing teams are usually valued and trusted considerably. ‘This is particularly: true when the idea of sport predominates, as it did for years in the Porcupine Dog Race. W!l{en the honour of winning a race is the cliief consideration the dogs are nearly sure to be well used by the good sports who own them. When money to be won takes the chief place in the minds of the contestants, the situation of course is different. It may be noted here that for years the Poreupine Dog Race Committee was the only organization taking time and ‘care to .protect dogs from abuse. The committee instituted several prosecutions for cruelty to the penalty in each case including the fact that never again would the man found guils,y of cruelty to a dog be allowed to entér the Porcupinge Dog Race event. The penalty ‘had more weight than may be thought at first, for it implied a general public disapproval of cruelty to dogs as unsportsâ€" maniike and mean. *# * * * * Timmins Board of Trade can do much this year for the advantage of the _ town,;â€"provided the people in general give ithe neeessary support and coâ€" operation. The new president, Mr. W. O. Langdon, has proven in the past few years while acting as secretary of the board that ‘he is willing and able to serve the town to the town‘s advantage. There are a number of problems that the town must face, and the work of the board of trade will assist in the solution of these questions. The board of trade may also prove unusually useful as a ‘‘clearing house for ideas,‘‘ as one man phrased it. As Mr. C. W. Wright, president of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade pointed out at the banquet last Thursday evening, *‘ Every selfâ€"respecting town should have a board of trade." Timimins is a selfâ€"respectiny town, and has had its board of trade for many ‘¥ears. The point is now to make that ‘board of trade so effective and useful that it will give the maximum of service to the town. The anly way to accomplish this is by all taking an _ interest and a part in the work of the board. 7 s Tss :. § % * _ # # 0 # R 3 Txinmms is one of the fortnnanlg;nmg towns that cocs not need to worry ”Ifi-‘.’,’?e" the effect ot the ilmpoaed'.amendmeng to the assessment act, reâ€" _ speotin the separation of mining rig‘ts from ot-er‘;)ropert)' rigchts in resard matter, the proper procedure would be to reduce the bounty to about 15 cents and then all the wolves would be slaughtered before they grew up. The truth is that recently the wolves have increased to such an extent that the killing of them is a comparatively easy matter. There are so many wolves however, that unless something is done the deer will be exterminated by the wolves now overrunfiing the forests. <In recent times the wolves have invadâ€" ed settled districts, this fact alone being eloquent testimony of the way the pests are increasing. The number of wolves shot around settlements, withâ€" out the necessity for any searching for them, proves the: increase in the wolves recently. It is ridiculous to suggest that men will; deliberately kill more wolves for less money. â€" Wihat is needed is that measures be taken to insure the killing of more wolves, whatever it costs, more money or less. The saving of the deer is surely worth something to this province, The whole questiion resolves itself into one of. choosing betwegp ‘the wolves, and the deer. In reply to the suggestion that the bounty on wolves be increased in the province, Hon. Mr. McCrea last week said that the Government is not favourably disposed to any increase.. His argument is that as the department has been receiving more requests for bounties under the $15.00 rate than under the previous higher rate, an increase is not desired. ~This appears to be a wrong attitude. According ‘to Hon. Mr. MeCrea‘s form of 100'10 in thls Toronto and some parts of the South suffered severely last week from snow. storms and cold. The North Land secure in its delightful spring weather extends sympathy to the less fortunate people of the south and offers hospiâ€" tality and we?'come to any visitors who like to escape the misery of snow storms and cold, but who find Plorida too distant to visit. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, PHURS., MARCH 15TH, 1928 4 mnlmlonmo mofthQOmdhanny Rmmpmmmfion Published Every Thursday by CRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER _ ..A PPR C o ES LWVE S CE T e u0k 0 0 > 0 â€" + . _ â€" Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates : + $2.00 per year â€" United States â€" $3.00 per yvear Telephones Residerse 70 3 ie to sale of lands in mining areas. The question is apparently an important one to municipalities like Cobait, Coleman and Bucke, where protest has been registered against separating property rights. In Timmins the original sale of lots carried the distinct provision that the mining rights were reserved, Police Magistrate Brodie, of Sudbury, who ‘has been acting magistrate at Windsor for some time, has received threatening letters, warning him that his life is in danger unless ‘he goes back to Sudbury.. Evidently Magistrate Brodie has offended the underworld ring of ‘blindpiggers and thugs. He does not take the threats on his life very seriously, but there is always a danger, and The Advance hopes that the authorities will be able to protect him more successfully than they have been able to date to avenge the death of Inspector Constable. so. the town was not under any misapprehension in the matter. Timmins faces the situation thait taxes in arrears must not exceed the price of proâ€" perty under forced sale or the town is the loser. Sometimes it seems hard to force payment of tax arrear by the sale of the propenty concerned, but this appears to be the only safe method. If taxes are allowed to accumulate until they exceed the value of a property in the open market, apart from any proâ€" blematic value as a prospective mine, the municipality is under a very disâ€" tinect handicap in collecting back taxes. _ ' % Spring has been poetically termed the season of hope. Accordingly at this time it may not be out of place to hope that the authorities have not forâ€" gotten the matter of the cowardly murder of Inspector Constable. The authâ€" orities should not be permitted to forget that it is still their duty to secure the arrest and conviction of the assassin. In September, ‘1911, Mrs. A. S. Fulâ€" ler came to the Porcupine to join her husband who was one of the pioneer mining and brokerage man of the camp. For five years she lived at So. Porcupine, later residing in Timmins for some years. In recent years she resided in the South. ‘The late Mrs. Fuller was a woman of remarkable talent and enjoyed a wide measure of popularity all through the North Land. She was a gifted elcoutionist. being a graduate of the Columbia University of Voice Culture, and will be remembered for the generous talâ€" ents she gave on occasion in events in this camp in its early days. _ In social and other circles she wasâ€"also very popular and highly regarded. ing wide interests in mining, notably with the Paymaster Mine, the symâ€" pathy of all is extended at this time.

It was played Saturâ€" day afiternoon and resulted in a tie at full time. In the overtime the Cochrane boys won with a score of 8 to 3. It was a great game of hockey, both teams giving of their best, and that best being good. . Teams like these suggest that the future of hoc* key can safely be left ito the ‘‘homeâ€" brews‘‘ the boys of both teams showâ€" ing an aptitude for the game, and a talent for good play. *\Friends in town and district were shocked this week at the news of the death on Saturday last at San Franâ€" cisco, CalifOrnia, of Mrs. A.
