Thursday, June 21st, Many people may wonder why Kirkland Lake and other mining camps have been slandered recently as to their orderliness and morality. _A possible explanation is that there are some provincial byâ€"election campaigns in proâ€" ecress at present and the stories manufactured about drunkenness and evil in the North make good material for speakers and canvassers to show that the Ontario Liquor Control Aet is a failure and the Government accordingly to be condemned. In some of the campaigns such argument has actually been used. The truth is that the North Land is more free than most places from vice of all kinds and if conditions here are to be the criterion upon which the Government is judged, then the Government should receive the heartiest approval. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 218T. 1928 While words of praise for the Government are not at all out of season, there is one matter in connection with this North Land that reflects no credit on the authorities concerned. That is the fact that the murderer of Inspecâ€" tor Constable at Cochrane has not been brought to justice. Inspector Conâ€" stable was an offtcial of the best type, honest‘and upright, and as a citizen and man he was of equal value to the country. _ His murder was a direct challenge from the underworld element and until this challenge is accepted and stern justice meted out to the guilty, the province of Ontario has nothing to be proud of in the matter. Can it be possible that all these stories of alleged drunkenness and imâ€" monality at Kirkland Lake and other Northern towns are simply being spread to entice a large number of people from Toronto and other points south to come to the North for a vacation time this summer? The byâ€"law in regard to dogs running at large is being very strictly enâ€" foreced in Tisdale township at present. Many dogâ€"owners express regret beâ€" cause they feel that they would prefer to do away with their dogs rather than tie up the animals. On the other hand some owners of poultry say that the dog byâ€"law can not be enforced too strictly to suit them. They recall good fowl that were killed or injured by stray dogs in previous years. But the poultry owners are not the only ones to suffer from the live stock of other folks. More than one owner of a nice yard and garden in Timmins has reâ€" cently used fierce language because of the nuisance caused by wandering fowl. As Mayor Longmore remarked when the dog byâ€"law was being disâ€" cussed by the town council, it is very necessary in this world that people should give and take, and that the rights and privileges of others should be considered. No one can be too selfish. For comfort in living, each man must see that he imposes no avoidable nuisance on others, and each one must also be ready to stand a little from his neighbour in view of the fact that the neighbour usuaily has to stand something also. Despatches inform a wondering world that a St. Catharines man was thrown clear through the windshield of his» automobile and landed on the hard highway on his head, but still escaped injury because he wore one of those stiff Christie hats. So that is why some people wear that sort of hat. eh? Mr. Jas. Tomlin, who is himself an expert in the making of maps, has been both amused and irritated by a map that recently came into his possession. It is supposed to be road map for the use of tourists and other strangers to the North Land, but it shows Capreol as north of Timmins, and also gives the distance from North Bay to Timmins as 48 miles. In the making of maps, Mr. Tomlin believes that the greatest care should be taken and accuâ€" racy secured at all costs. ‘‘If a map is not correct, it is worse than useâ€" less,"" he says. iWhile in one way it is amusing for anyone in this age of the world to know no better than to think that Timmins and North Bay are within fifty miles of each other, still the confusion and inconvenience caused by the dissemination of such failse information as indicated by the map in question is serious in its results. The Government of Ontario has issued asccurate and helpful maps of the North Land. The Ontario Motor League accurate and helpful maps of the North Land. The Ont has a series of road maps that are accurate and helpful. prise wishes to compete with these public forces in giving people in general, then there should be insistence on accur In the departure of Rev. (Mr. Bain from South Poreupine, that town and the camp in general suffers a greater loss than is perhaps realized generally. Revx. Mr. Bain, in his own quiet and unassuming way has accomplished a fine work among the boys of the district. Winning their respect and regard, his influence has been of much value, and he has been untiring in his efforts to better the standards of the boys. In building better citizenship, Rev. Mr. Bain by his activities in boys‘ work has a@ccomplished much good. In view of the fact that it was through effort in the North Land that Onâ€" tario adopted the correspondence schoolsâ€"plan, there will be general interest in the progress made by this branch of the educational system. _ Several hundred pupils are now taking. advantage of the Ontario correspondence ecourses. This medns that hundreds of children are enjoying educational facilities who would otherwise grow up illiterate. The courses are designed for children in sparselyâ€"settled districts where there are no schools convenâ€" ient and where conditions make impossible the establishment of regular schools. The eorrespondence courses are available to all who have even occasional aceess to a post office. The lessons are sent singly, or in groups to accommodate the pupils.

He was employed recently in running one of the motors underground and apparâ€" ently the ear ran off the track, throwâ€" ing him sawhead and than running against ‘him and erushing in his ribs. Some of the broken ribs apparentiy punctured some of the vital organs and death resulted as he was taken into the hospital, a very short time after the accident. â€" Aninquest will be held into the death this (Thursday) afterâ€" noon at 3.30. In the meantime there is no official announcement of the cause of the accident, but from the facts that can be learned in the case, the motor was travelling at a good rate and possibly failed to negotiate a curve on this account. It is said that the unfortunate man was thrown about 25 feet. The motor followed and crushed him against the rock. He was injured chiefly about tae chest. successful During the past week or two there have been several motor cars visiting here from the far south after the journey over the Ferguson highway. All of the visitors were delighted with the scenery along the route. **Simply wonâ€" derful scenery, and a most interesting country!‘‘ appears to be the general opinion. But there is also a general feeling that the journey to tlhis North Land would be doubly there were a beltâ€"line of roads whereby parties could come north by one road and return south by another route. Eventually, all will see the advantages from every standporint of the belt line road idea, but in the meantime it would be well to keep the suggestion before public notice. A comparatively short strip of roadway between Timâ€" mins and Sudbury will complete the belt line of roads. It would connect up by road all the leading centres of the North. It would open up a great area of new country,â€"rich in fish, game, timber, minerals and scenery. It would double the attraction of the North to tourists, and so in every way it would be one of the best paying investments that Ontario could make. The holdâ€"up of an expres's and mail car at Toronto union station this week, and the resulting loss of from $30,000 to $100,000, is a matter that should be given more than passing thought by all good citizens. This is a sort of activity that this country absolutely does not want and should not tolerate. No expense should be spared to capture and make an example of the crimiâ€" Both the Dominion and the Provincial authorities should ‘be interested, and the most determined effort should be made to make this sort of imported crime unpopular in Canada.

A pmtlcularlv sad part of the tragedy is the fact that this wite left about a week ago for a visit to their old home in the Old Country. The first news she would receive on arrival would be the sad cable anâ€" nouncing the death of her husband. The funeral took place on Wednesâ€" day afternoon to the United Chureh, and was largely attended. The many floral tokens indicated the regard in which the deceased was held mul the sorrow at his death. Interment was made in Timmins cemetery. The late Mr. Neefham was a native of Newcastleâ€"onâ€"Tyne, England.
