. It is a. fine spirit of helpfulness and humanity that i :onstantly being shown by the private concerns operating air services. Several times recently Jack Hammell’soplanes have been spending time and effort lavishly to aid in the search for missing men. The private airmen have shown their kind- ness and humanity on every occasion. They recognize that even the most experienced prospector is liable to meet the great misfortune. of “having his progress impeded by something” until he has the belief that he is actually lost. ‘ The Ottawa Government: should search out that ()llieial and transfer him to some place where his peculiar mind will not he a. menace to the comfort and safety of that line pioneer and explorerâ€"-â€"tlle prospeet01'-â€"â€"inm‘e truly precious to this country and its welfare, even though he he lost in the bush, than the most supereilhms otlieial that ever wag'ged an eyeglass.

In urging these requests the Aquatie Associ- ation is showing good foresight. Following the ideas outlined will make for beauty. health and safety. and increase general satisfaetion and goodwill. I: would be a great convenienee and advantage to tourists and others com- ing into this district if there were a sign at the crossroads at the. outskirts hf South Poreupine indicating the road to Timmins. Recently several automo- biles have. travelled to the Dome believing they were on the way to this town. -. Fortunately, the expressed opinion of Ontario Forestry officials is dia- metrically opposite to that of the Ottawa individual quoted. “Everything should be done to aid men who become lost in the North Country, ’3 is the motto of the Ontario air serViee. Seai‘eelV' a day passes, but the Ontario flV,inU serVice is asked to be on the lookout for men VVho haVe straV ed in the bush, and the response to men appeal of this kind is generous and prompt indeed. W At (‘obalt recently Magistrate Atkinson is quoted as objecting to a man who had lived seventeen years in (‘anada giving evidence through a foreign language interpreter. (‘ertainly a man who has lived in Canada for seven- teen years. enjoying all the benefits of this country, should at least pay the rountry the compliment of familiarizing himself with its official languages. endangered man. There have been more prospectors lost this year than for many years past. This, however, is due to the fact: that there are many more prospectors in the field now than for several years past. It may be true that/some of the In‘()S}f)€CtOI‘S are lost because they do not know the game as'well as they might, but that does not mean that the world should stand back and let them perish. Their lives are valuable to themselves and to this country. No government and no people should take the attitude that men should be allowed to die unaided, simply because assistance would mean a little effort and perhaps some inconvenience. The prospectors are deserving: of the ‘very best this country can give them. The value of their work to Canada is great indeed. If this were a grateful country, the chance to do anything in, any way. to assist or succor a prospector would the eagerly accepted. In past years The Advance has not'hesitated to object to the blocking of the Mattagami river, nor will this paper hesitate in the future to urge the necessity of having the river open as the law requires for traffic. In this mailer, however, The Advance has had no purpose but the desire to serve the settlers and the public generally. Accordingly, it is quite consistent this year to commend the lumber companies and the jobbers for the special ef- forts made to avoid the blocking of the river. in may be said that the Again, to quote this official :â€"-â€"“In most cases the Department declines. In the firs 1: place, the prospector is probably not lost at all, but something has impeded his progress. Then, if l1e~is lost, there is \er} little chance of an airman seeing him from a plane.” 1With what auction and satisfaction, would ‘a certain type'of official say, ‘-‘In most cases the Department de- clines' ’ If that class of oliicial had his wav no doubt the Department: would decline to do anything but. see that the salar\ list was paid on time, and nthce hours were arranged so that the of'ficial.w01'11d not he obliged to miss a pink tea, except on those t’(11\"despe1'zite ocrasions when the Government changes and everything is upset, you understand. Only when the Govern- merit has just changed can a certain type of oilieial know what it means to he lOst in the woods. Prois'pectors will scarcely know whether to curse 0r laugh at the thought that missing prospectors are usually not lost, but someâ€" thing has impeded their progress. ~Too oft-en the “something” includes hunger, blackllies, genuine fear and despai ' and the torture that comes from knowing that the chances are all for a. miserable death. As to the idea of the use of airplanes in the actual work of searching for missing men. it would be well to remember that the chief idea in appealing for the aid of airships in the work of lo‘ating missing men in the bush is the value of the airship for transporting in speedy way both men and supplies to the scene ot‘ the endangered man. The people of Canada in general should make their disapproval evident for the improper attitude attributed to a, Government ot'ticial at Ottawa who is quoted in despatehes as suggesting that there are too many prospectors heing lost. in the bush these days to expect the Government~owned airships to bother about. such cases. “The first requisite of a prospector is the ability to find himself,” says the official. He is said to have contended that the Department of National Defence is being inundated with appeals for air~ planes to search for prospectors thought to be lost. “When a prospector in the Northern woods fails to turn 11p when his employers or associates think he should, they rush to the Department of National Defence. asking that a plane be sent in search for him, says. this type of otlicial, evidently believ- inU' that‘employers and associates of men in the remote woods are prone to get unduly excited about simple things like the life of a pi"'.ospectoi 'l‘he ot‘ticial seems to resent the idea 0t emploVers and associates presun1in;{to rush to :1 (,iovernment department and request some speed and attention tor a citizen whose life may be endangered. ()tlieials of this type abhor the very thought of rash. And as for danger, they themselves'are Quite cosy and comfortable in their highly-respectable and agreeable Government work. If thesenasty prospectors know no better than to get into danger, then Government otticials should not beexpeeted to worry. fiMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 26th,- 1928 HUMAN LIFE OF MORE IMPORTANCE THAN OTTAWA OFFICIALS THINK.

Dr. iWil- frid Grenfell has maintained that his experiment showed that a reindeer industry would have a reasonable prospect of success in Labrador un- der skilful management and with Government backing for the protec- tion of the herds. The late Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt. an eminent zoologist who was intimately acquainted with conditibns in the far north, wrote that “a vast area of sub-Arctic Cau- ada offers as suitalble a range for rein- deer as the areas of Europe and Asia where they have been utilized by man for centuries.” At the present time, Messrs. A. E. and R. T. Porsild, bo- tanists and Arctiedravellers, are mak- ing a study of conditions in the ter- ritory of which Dr. Hewitt wrote. They reported that. in 1927 they exam- ined about 15,000 square miles of the country east of the Mackenzie river delta and .16 ted ‘pas-turage suflicient to maintain -50,000 head of reindeer. spite of the failure of‘these’ attempts to domesticate reindeer in the far north,’ there are reasons for hoping and believing that such attempts are not all doomed to failure.

The world of North and South is more closely eonnected than even this visitor knew, for Mr. Jarrett was formerly a good citizen of this North Land, and so in addi- tion to the announcement may he added sincere eong'ntulations and good strength of the public protest against any attempt to monopolize the river has resulted in the improvement noted, but 1n any case the companies and in- dixiduals at present working so earnestlb to keep the ri\ er free are certainty worthv of a it 0rd of praise.

'of the best known in recent. years: so far as the freedom of the river for traflie is concerned. Among all the newspapers and newsmongers that innocently or otherwise lent themselves to the spreading of the most recent false reports about the Hollinger, The Ottawa Journal has the distinction of being one paper that had the fairness to pwblish a manly denial of a false story as soon as it was known that the story was not‘true. \Ianv indeed in this town and idiqtrict will feel a distinct sense of personal loss in the sudden death this week of \Ir.
