automobiles tention, the A settler in this North Land must be an optimist. If he was not optiâ€" mistic he would be discouraged before he commenced. The optimism of the settlers in this immediate district is indicated by the fact that despite the weather one man living some four or five miles from Timmins is confident that he will get two crops of hay off his farm this year. He cut the one ecrop last Sunday between showers. ‘*The better the day, the better the deed,"‘ he said, ‘‘and, anyway, the hay would spoil if it wasn‘t cut right away." There cannot be any unemployment in the town of Timmins at present, beâ€" cause those who are not working seem to be so busy spreading false stories in regard to the Hollinger Mine. No crops in the North Land at present, not even the crops of blackflies and mosquitoes, exceed the crops of unâ€" founded rumours about the big mine these days. One example of these false rumours was the story told this week about the caveâ€"in on the pllbli(f school grounds. This caveâ€"in was caused by the rotting of the boards on the top of an ols cesspool. _ But the facts did not suit the. rumourâ€"mongers who suggested that the fall of earth on the Central public school grounds was due to a caveâ€"in at the Hollinger. These smart rumourâ€"mongers even placed the caveâ€"in at the mine at the 300â€"ft. level. . Apparently neither facts nor sense count ‘with these people. It is getting now so that no thoughtful man will believe anything whispered about the Hollinger, unless it is something creditâ€" able to the mine, in which ease it is likely to be true. allow stray animals to wander through the cemetery destroying the loving work of those who have been seeking to beautify the place is very discouragâ€" ing, to say the least. If there is any legal way by which the council can make the few improvements that would more or less protect the cemetery, the peoâ€" ple in general would appreciate such action. Respect and care for the dead are among the marks of the higher civilization, and for years past The Adâ€" vance has been urging attention to the cemetery so that its care and appearâ€" ance might be more in keeping with the kindly spirit of the people of this in the some of the autos Reports by prospectors and others indicate that this year there are imâ€" mense armies of blackflies and mosquitoes. Those in the bush are having a most uncomfortable time; in some cases, an unbearable time; through the activities of these bloodâ€"thirsty pests. One oldâ€"timer of the North who had just returned from the bush, said this week that the mosquitoes and blackâ€" flies are working two shifts. The blackflics work hard all day long, and the 82( manshin ance might be North. cheerful and pleasant, he did not pass by any opportunities to cheer up the travellers by a little humour. Entering a blacksmith shop nearby one spot of road where the group of autos were about mired in the mud, Hon, Mr. Finlayson amused his friends by skilfully drawing from the blacksmith the fact that the identity of the members of the party were unrecognized. _ *"*I think I‘ve met you before,"" said Hon. Mr. Finlayson in his genial way. **‘No, I haven‘t had the pleasure of meeting you before, and I don‘t know yet who you may replied the blacksmith. **The roads are very bad here,"" said Mr. Finlayson. *‘*There are worse than that,"‘ said the North Land blackâ€" smith. a wonder you fellows here wouldn‘t throw a few loads of gravel in some of these bad holes,"" said Mr. Finlayson. **Well, we would," responded the lblacksmith ferventlyv, ‘"*tif the blanketvâ€"blankâ€"blank tichtwads It is to be regretted that a particularly mean and unsportsmanlike form of theft seems to be prevalent at present. _ That is the theft of flowers and plants. The flower beds in front of the Hollinger oftfice have been meanly raided more than once this One lady on Fourth avenue who had been while «changing and mosquitoes put in the graveyard shift. The (blackflies and mosquitoes were bad last year, this oldâ€"timer says, but he adds that compared to this season, there were no blackflies or mosquitoes at all last year. This oldâ€"timer gave a very sensational review of the natural history of blackflies and mosquitoes, but the langwage he used was so highly technical as to make it very difficult for reproduction purposes. Blackflies apparently are his favourites, if he has any preference. *‘They will let a man sleep,"‘ he says. The blackâ€" flies do not come in to the camps at night, while the mosquitoes can not be kept out.

NEEFHAM The town council will come in for general approval and commendation for the good work aecomplished whereby a material reduction of taxation has been made possible. The rate this year is lower than in any year since 1923. The rate is practically ten mills lower than last year for public school supâ€" porters and five mills less than for separate school supporters last year. It is well to note, at the same time, that while the separate school rate is still higch this is a matter for which the town eouncil has no responsibility, the school rates being set by the school boards to meet the year‘s requirements, ind the council simply having to provide for the levy to raise what amounts may ‘be requisitioned for school purposes. The people of Timmins will apâ€" preciatg the reduction in taxes, and there will (be a general disposition to savy that this is one of the advantages of having a council of earnest and Schumacher, â€"June 25th, 1928 Special to The Advance. Mrs. C. Jucksch and son, Clifford, left on Saturday to visit relatives at Rouyn, Quebec. Mrs. R. S. Eady, of Matheson, was a recent visitor in town. Mrs. J. A. Bush left on Saturday, 23rd inst., to spend the holiday seaâ€" son at the home of her parents in Toronto. Mr. Clement Corrigan, of Rouyn, arrived in town on Sunday and will spend a brief holiday with friends in Schumacher. Miss B. M.

Newlands and daughter Miss Sada left on Sunday for an exâ€" tended holiday visit with friends in the southern part of the province. An inquest was held last Thursday aftternoon into the death of R. Neefâ€" ham at the Hollinger on June 18th. Mr., H. E. Montgomery, the coroner, presided, and Mr. Geo. Cole, Mines Inspector, assisted in the conduct of the enguiry, while Mr. 8. A.

Noefâ€" ham came to his death on June 18th due to the motor which he was runâ€" ning jumping the track and erushing him against the rock. ‘‘We attach no blame to anyone,"" concluded the verdict. witnesses were heard, but no one acâ€" tually saw the accident or was in posiâ€" tion to to know definitely how the tragedy occurred. Evidence was givâ€" en showing that the motor had been examined and found in excellent shape not many hours previous to the acciâ€" dent, and any injury to the motor seemed to be due to the accident. gcative of refusing or revoking taxiâ€"cab licenses for due cause. The present council may be depended upon to use their privileges wisely and fairly. To protect the council from recrimination or annoyance, the law specifically proâ€" vides that the council is not compelled to give any reason for refusing any particular license. At the same time it may taken for granted that no application will be refused for idle or iumproper reasons. The fact that the council is seriously considering the matter of taxi licenses means that the general standing of the taxi business will be improved, without injury to anyone. â€" Part of the trouble in the past hbas been that the granting of taxi licenses has been too much a matter of simple routine. In passing a resolution pointedly calling the attention of the Government to the bad condition of the Ferguson highway and the road from Timmins to [roquois Falls, the Timmins town council on Monday did a public service. The recommendation that the roads should be closed to traffice until such time as they are fit to use is also a good idea. The present condition of the roads is a danger to the motorists, as well as causing loss and damage, and being a no doubt, is why oldâ€"timers recommend the little pests to go to a very warin climate. â€" The oldâ€"timer is so deeply versed in mosquito lore that his technical references make it impossible to gather much information about the life and habits of the mosquito, further than to infer that they are all very bad. Regarding the black fly, however, he says that it naturally lives on the sap of trees, but will tackle any sap that comes along. © **Blackflies live in the bush, drinking the sap from trees and bushes,‘‘ the oldâ€"timer says, **but they prefer human gore, just as men will drink water when they oval business men THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS,, ONTARIO npun LV C [} t} » to but would rather have a little good whisky.‘‘ Blackflies are not under Government control.
