The butcher shop owned and conâ€" aucted by Philip Lefrance, Ferguson avenue, Haileybury, was badly gutted by fire on Saturday morning last, the loss being a heavy one. The store adjoining, occupied by Mrs. A. Woods, who conducted a ladies‘ wear business, also suffered from smoke and water "Fifty years after Frobisher had failâ€" ed to penetrate the Northâ€"West Pasâ€" sage, the Bristol merchants subscribed to send Captain Thomas James to attempt it, in a seventyâ€"ton ship with twentyâ€"two men. Commander Bodiily has now edited James‘ journal. James explored the west shore of Hudson Bay, found no strait, and wintered in James Bay, at the extreme south. He sank his ship in shallow water to save her from ice and storms, and refloated ner the following June. The record is one of almost constant danger and hardship. After endless hairbreadth escapes from the uncharted reefs and driving floes of Hudson Bay, they were nearly all at death‘s door from scurvy in winter. Three died. The first green vetches, on May 31, were just in time to save the rest. James tried to account for the cold by the snow, an odd confusion of cguse and effectâ€" but perhaps not so odd after mary wadings through 300 yards of October snowâ€"slush between boat and shore. Yet in his second August, with nroâ€" visions running low, his ship leaky, and only a week or two left for escape down Hudson Strait, he wishes to go up Fox Channel to find the Northâ€" West Passage. But his crew had had enough of it, and James yielded unâ€" willingly. He certainly deserved to have James Bay as a memorial. It is quite possible that the tomb and leadâ€" en annexationâ€"plate on Charlton Igâ€" land in James Bay have never been visited since James left them. The Canadian Government ought to see that this Canadian equivalent to Piyâ€" mouth Rock is preserved." FIRE AT HAILEYBURY ON SATURDAY MORNING LAST On numerous occasions The Adâ€" vance has urged the desirability of preserving historical marks in this new land of Canada and especially in this North Land which is so replete with inspiring romance if people but view affairs in due perspective. There should be very general concurrence in the sugestion made by The London (England) Times that the tomb on Charlton Island in James Bay, markâ€" ing the last resting place of three of the crew with Capt. James on his voyâ€" age of discovery in the bay that bears his name should be preserved by the Canadian Government as a historical mark as important to the Dominion as Plymouth Rock to the people of the South. In referring to the matter The London Times says:â€" Should Preserve the Memorial in James Bay John Gilbert in The Big Parade comâ€" ing to the Goldfields. * American goodâ€"will tour TO CARRY HOOVER "GOODâ€"WILLING" The dreadnaught Maryland, pride of our neighbour‘s fleet, which is carry ing Presidentâ€"elect Hoover on his Sout!] Once more, again, The Advance would repeat that anonymous comâ€" munications are usually disposed. of without even thorough reading in a good newspaper office. Never does reputable newspaper use letters or inâ€" formation without knowing the source of the same. A news item may look all right, but if it is received without an indication of where it comes from it will not be used. In sending comâ€" munications to newspaper or in lgivmg information by letter it surely is a simple matter to add your name and address somewhere on the sheet,â€" | not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith. All newspapers of any standing require this proof of good faith. They could not long remain in business if they disregarded it. All this has been repeated, reiterated and. said over and over again in The Adâ€" !vance. vyet there are people who persist iin sending in unsigned letters. It is not fair to the waste paper basket which is always normally overworked. The Advance is anxious to receive letâ€". ters and items from readers and friends but all communications must be signâ€". ‘ed. The name will not be used, but it must be given for the protection of the paper. There has never been @ lcase where The Advance has publishâ€". ed any item or letter without knowâ€" ‘ing its source. People are too hopeâ€" ful to imagine they can get these unâ€" signed letters through. This week. kthere were a couple that looked all right, and probably were all right, but gthey were unsigned and so they lie on the fioor beside the waste paper | baskets the latter being a litfle full nt the time. In sending in articles, items. | letters, or what have you, ao"not forâ€" get to sign your name. Your name will not be used, unless you wish it, but it must be there or else it is all a | matter of love‘s labour lost for you and ‘the overcrowding of a waste paper basket for The Advance. The report from the committee was received on the recommendations for nomations for the officers for the comâ€" ing â€" year. These â€" recommendations were considered and will no doubi prove of material service. The elecâ€" tion of officers for club for the comâ€" ing year will be held on Monday next, Dec. 3rd at the regular mceeting at the Empire hotel. There was much of interest and helpfulness at the regular weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis Club at the Empire hotel on Monday. Mr. C. G. Keddie, president of the club, occupied the chair and carried on afâ€" fairs in his usual capable way. There was no regular speaker of the day, the meeting being given Over to a general discussion of matters 6f interest and advantage to Kiwanis generally. This discussion proved of veÂ¥y general helpâ€" fulness, many good ideas being brought forward. Mr. W. O. Langdon made mention to the club on Monday of the bowling series in which the Kiwanis Club was represented. For the sake of good sport and to keep the name of the club in due regard he urged good atâ€" tendance at the league matches. Whatever was worth entering was worth carrying through in the best style possible, was his idea in the matâ€" ter. Mr. E. H. King told of his efforts as postmaster to inform the merchants of the town and others in regard to the closing of mails, especially the mails for Christmas, to the Old Counâ€" try and elsewhere. Mr. Vincent Wood@pury gave a very interesting and informative account of a visit to the Montreal Kiwanis Club and the procedure followed in that club. Montreal club is a nice, active, lively and interesting organization, he said. Mr. Woodbury added that the people there generally seemed to reâ€" cognize the advantage of business and professional men meeting together reâ€" gularly in the way they did in a Kiwanâ€" is Club, with the pleasant associations thus resulting «nd the interchange of ideas and the helpful coâ€"operation engendered. Mr. W. H. Wilson mentioned a letter he had received from Ottawa the radio inspector. The inspector would pay a visit at an early date to Timmins in regard to interference. This was matter of very special interest to the growing army of radio fans in the town and district.

REPEATING ONCE AGAIN AFTER REITERATING BEFORE TQ HEGT OHFIGERS FOR YEAR AT KIWANIS MONDAY Canada‘s favourable visible balance of trade, while more than $9,000,000 below last year‘s 12â€"months‘ figures at this time, is recovering very rapidly, having gained $19,729,000 since the 12â€" months‘ total for September. It now stands at $156,198,000. TRADEâ€"MAKING RECORDS INX CANADA DURING YEAR Canadian produce exported during the 12â€"months‘ period ended October 31, 1928, amounting to $1,335,286,237, exceeded in value similar exports for any 12â€" months‘ period since July, 1918, according to figures complied by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. In view of the great deflation in prices of some commodities that has taken place since the former record period, this is a truly remarkable achievement and reflects a tremendous expension in Caâ€" adian production and in the growth of foreign markets for Canadian goods. In other aspects of trade, Canada‘s foreign commence broke all records for any 12â€"months‘ periods back to April, 1921. This is true of imports ($1,202,304,859), reâ€"exports ($23,217,â€" 273) and colections of customs duty ($188,111,673) . Howard (fiercely): "I‘ll show you who‘s running this house."
