TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 19TH, 1928 earlier date. FThe holidays are more orddless spoiled for many youngsters py the uncertainty felt as to sueccess or failure at the Entrance examinations. In the past year or two the delay in publishing the results has not been as pronounced as in some former years, but another objectionable feature has been introduced to add to the anxiety of the youngsters. The pupils are being notified individually by mail as tq their suceess, and some at least of these notifications are sent out before the full returns reach the newspaper offices. The effect of this is that, thanks to the vagaries of mail service in this North, some of the pupils received official notice, while the notification to others may be delayed. This causes unnecessary anxiety to the pupils. If the returns were promptly sent to the newspapers the pupils could learn their success or failure at the earliest possible moment. Literally hundreds of enquiries have been made this year at The Advance office in the matter, and it is quite apparent that a better system should be adopted. If the fault lies with the department the attention of the authorities should be called to the matter, and if the trouble is of more local origin it should be remedied. To the youngsters concerned the question is oi very great concern, and there does not seem to be any fair reason why their feelings should not have first consideration in this matter. The recently reâ€"organized Northern Ontario 1 opportunity for very heipful work that seems to and effects through a fire on the property. This settler has a family of small children and the loss of his home and effects was a veritable calamity to him. The family are respectable and industrious and anxious to remain on the farm and continuing clearing the land and building up a home and farm. Without assistance this condition can not be realized. The man‘s neighâ€" bours are not in position to help him and other outside aid is not in sight. Private assistance was given at the time of the fire to secure clothing for the family and to aid them in a fresh start, but there is not enough help in sight to reâ€"establish the family on the farm. The qualities that make good settlers are evident in this case, and it does appear to be a pity that settlers with experience, courage, ambition and industry should be lost to the North Land and find themselves in desperate straits for need of a little timely assistance in the time of illâ€"fortune. The case has been drawn to the attention of the Relief Commission and if they deal with it effeetively and promptly, it will show that there is valuable work for the new Commission and that the Comâ€" mission is alive to its responsibilities and opportunities. of usefulne The Inspectorate of Cochrane apparently has a different method to that obtaining in other inspectorates for the handling of the publication of the results of the High School. Entrance examinations. For years past it has seemed that the results in this district have been the last in the province to reach the pupils. The pupils generally seem to consider the High School Entrance examinations as the most important in their scholastic eareer, and it does not seem to be asking too much to suggest, as The Advance has reâ€" peatedly urged in the last few years, that the results be given out at an earlier date. The holidays are more orless spoiled for many youngsters by the uncertainty felt as to success or failure at the Entrance examinations. In the past year or two the delay in publishing the results has not been as pronounced as in some former years, but another objectionable feature has M Just suppose that some clever schemer advertised:â€"‘‘Large and imposing steel engraving depicting the Fathers of Confederation; suitable for framâ€" ing; will look especially well on a large expanse of wall in a big room. Only three dollars, postpaid to any address in Canada. Don‘t miss the opportunâ€" ity to secure this large genuine steel engraving of the Fathers of Confederâ€" ation.‘‘ And then suppose that the advertised, in reply to inquirers forâ€" warding the suggested three dollars, should send a copy of the big Confederaâ€" tion issue of the twoâ€"cent postage stamp! (What could the law do about it? In any event people buying these monster stamps for wall pictures would not have to lick the broad backs of the ridiculous things. Holding Hon. Wm. Finlayson r strip of road near Ramore seems Minister of Lands and Forests. Lightning is said to -havve struck the earth near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and to have neatly stripped the overburden off a piece of mining property, smashed rocks aside, cut a deep trench and otherwi%e completed assessment work that would normally have taken two weeks and the labour of several men. If lightning could now hit wolf and bob its tail without otherwise injuring the animal, the editor of The Sault Star would consider this the happiest summer since Bob Ganey hid behind the piano. *# *# * * * _ Elsewhere in this issue The Advance republishes an article from The Cochâ€" rane Northland Post in regard to the difficulties encountered by settlers in this North Land at this time. ‘‘We have never been in such distress‘‘ is the pathetic message the settlers of Shackleton and Machin townships have sent to the Minister of Lands and Forests. These settlers say that unless some help comes they will be faced with actual starvation. Unfgrtunately, the case of the settlers, who have petitioned the Minister, is more or less typical of the condition of settlers all over this part of the North Land. The lot of the settlers is undoubtedly a desperately hard one. And little help they seem to bave received from anyone. The chief help that might be given would be in the way of roads that would give them access to markets and sources of supply. No settler can hope for success if he has to.pack his produce to market on his back. The Advance believes that the whole proâ€" blem of roads and settlement is so vital that it should be taken up by the Government in a big way. In the matter of yoads the Government. will have to stop thinking in dollars and approach the big question in figures of millâ€" ions. The Advance believes that millions spent in roads in this North Land will be money well invested and the eventual returns will be large. Millions are invested for highways in the South, for hydroâ€"electrie plans and for other Government works, and no one thinks it is anvthing to get excited about. What are a few millions between friends? is the attitude there. Bat if a dollar is spent in one part of the North, the tendency seems to be to cut off a dollar in some other part. In tha South, the need is recognized, and then the money has to be raised ; that is the attitude. Here, the idea seems to be that money, and needs must adapt themselves to whatever may be spent. The whole settiement of the North Land séems to be at odds and ends. The whole situation should be carefuily studied out and the proper method aâ€" dopted.

At any event, in this age and in this province, it does not seem right that hundreds of brave and industrious people should face actual starvation without compensating hope for the future. ‘For the present it would appear that the Government should take immediate steps to assist temporarily any settlers in actual need, while a comprehensive plan should be adonted to guard against the difficulties that tend to make settlement temporariy any sell be adopted to guard mpossible. the other day when he was contradicted in ais idea Uhnat immeinse sAiaries are paid prospectors who go into remote areas for syndicates and 4_individuals and endure the hardships and inconveniences incidental to being hundreds of miles from the comforts of civilization. The young man was still more astounded when told that on one noted Antaretic expedition some years ago the pay of the ordinary seaman was only $25.00 per month, and at this figure the expedition had the choice of the finest type of skilled and exâ€" perienced men, though the men knew well tho serious dangers to be enâ€" countered on the voyage. ‘‘They must be fools,""‘ was the young man‘s final comment. â€" In this age when so much stress is laid on money, there are many who agree with this young man‘s idea. It is well, however, to remember that there is nothing very foolish about the prospectors and adventurers who exâ€" plore and develop the new regions. A foolish man would not live very long in pioneering or prospecting. The fact is that such men have the trend of mind that makes them seek adventure and healthy peril. It is a grand life zame to them. 1t is worth more than money or fame or comfort.. To such men the world owes practically all its advance and progress. Colunbus was of the type, and Canadian history is brilliant with the names and deeds of the adventurers who make of life something more thrilling than just making a livine. The adventurers have their reward in the adventures themselves One of the matters llkel\ to be dealt with on Thursday next at the quarterly meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards at Haileybury will be the question of the completion of the Transâ€"Canada highway. The connecâ€" tion needed between East and West may be achieved by connecting up Hearst with the Manitoba road system. This seems to be the logical plan, the ecoâ€" nomical way, and the procedure that would give advantage to the North Land while serving the country generally. a living. The adv in the perils, the tr with nature. [Witl only a small future The Toronto Mail and Empire last week had an editorial article in which| The Advance, and blackflies and mosquitoes were more promiscuously mixed than this paper eares about. The idea of The (Mail and Empire seemed to be that because The Advance objected to a false story told in Southorn! newspapers to the effect that a Timmins man had been driven insane by| black flies, The Advance was inconsistent in view of the fact that The Ad-; vance itselt had written in lively way of the depredations of the black flii.‘si {his season. _ As a matter of fact there was absolutely nothing inconsistent iui telling the truth about the insane man story and at the same time giving the% facts to the effect that the black flies are particularly vicious this year. Men| have been driven from the bush by the black flies this year. If they had! remained to be driven insane by fly bites, The Advance would very naturally| hold that they were insane before they stopped. The Advance has no quarrel with The Mail and Empire in the matter of the number of black flies in this North Land. The Advance has felt the black fly peril. _ Indeed The Adâ€" avnee has no quarrel with The Mail and Empire albout the North at all. The Mail and Empire has often shown its intelligent friendliness to this country, as The Advance has repeatedly pointed out. The objection was to. other newspapers in the South who are driven more insane by sensationalism than any man could be by black flies. These papers published a yarn about: black flies driving a man insane in the bush near here. The story was unâ€" true and misleading in every way. This type of outside newspaper is a curse to this country, with their silly sensational stunts that always seem to miss fire after creating annoyance. The Advance has nothing to take back in that particular, but this paper would remind The Mail and Empire that the cap does not fit it.. An intelligent picture of the progress of the North Land might be gained from a persistent reading of The Mail and Empire, but the other type of outside newspaper would certainly give the impression that this was a freak land of black flies, forest fires, mine accidents, wolves that acted like college professors, and men that were as intelligent as | mosquitoes. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTAKRIO ons S t L Congratulations are due the pupils . for the excellent showing made by tho examination at this centre. All the p Nearly half of those writing passed the pupils and staff of the UCentrai puUDHC NACL was successful, a large number of them with honours. Many who are usually well posted in mining and investment matters are convinced that last week‘s cut in the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves dividend will be onlv a temporary matter. The way they figure it may be summed up as follows:â€"‘‘It is officially stated that mill heads early in July were approxâ€" imately $9.00 Lompared with an averâ€" age of around $8 for the first g1ix months of sthe year. If mill heads can be raised to $11.00 in the next te\\ months, Wrightâ€"Hargreaves will again be earning its old 20 cent diviâ€" dend and this l)Obblbllll\ is by no means unlikely. Engineers who have recently been underg'round at the W rxaht Hargreaves, state that the mine is in better shape than ever beâ€" fore, both as regards equipment for hanuluu: the work and as regards ore recently been underground at the Wrichtâ€"Hargreaves, state that the mine is in better shape than ever beâ€" fore, both as regards equipment for hanaling the work and as regards ore being developed. Better ore has recently been opened up at the 1,700 and 2,000â€"foot levels. The two shafts No. 1 and and No. 3, will shortly ‘be down to their objective of 2,000 feet and lateral work commenced on the 1,700 and 2,000â€"foot levels. _ Geoloâ€" gical conditions lead to the belief that the possibilities of finding good ore in substantial quantities at this new horizon are excellent.

ABANDONED BABY FOUND IN NORTH BAY THIS WEEK An infant agirl was found early Tuesday morning in a club bag left at the rear of a grocery store at the corner of Cassels street and O ‘Brien avenue, North Bay. The child was not more than two or three days old and without clothing, but wrapped in an old blanket. Precautions had been taken to see that the child had suffiâ€" cient air, the evident intention being that the youngster should be found and cared for. A young man on his way to work heard the child‘s eries and reported the matter to the police who took the infant to the hospitai where it is thriving. Effort is now being made by the police to locate the mother of the baby. The special sale at the [stewart Store last week proved unusually sucâ€" cessful and bhad several original feaâ€" tures.
