Acâ€" cording to the widow Dredhart had threatened several times in recent months to do away with himself, though there was no particular reason for these threats or for his rash act. unless it were due to poor mental health. It would appear that Dredhart Carefully planned his own suicide and carried the act through in effective way. He used a loop of haywire susâ€" pended from one of the rafters and achieved his own death by standing on a box and then kicking the box from unâ€" der him.

MINE FOR PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT A despatch from Toronto last week says that John A. Reid, mining engiâ€" neer has been engaged by the Provinâ€" cial Government to investigate condiâ€" tions at the Toughâ€"Oakes Burnside Gold Mines Ltd., at Kirkland Lake, acâ€" cording to an announcement by Atâ€" torneyâ€"General, W. H. Price, Mr. Reid is already at the mine. This action was taken by the Provincial Governâ€" ment, followiing reports that the comâ€" pany would abandon the mine. Mr. Price stated that certain shareâ€" holders of the company had comâ€" plained that they thought the mine was to be abandoned ‘with the prosâ€" pect of having it taken over later by certain interested paxties." A preâ€" liminary investigation, in which the company furnished the Provincial Government with every facility, had shown, he said, that as far as could be ascertained, the property was being abandoned because it had been found unprofitable. Renewed complaints folâ€" lowing this investigation had prompted Mr. Reid‘s appointment.

If you know me it is of no use. ‘At every word a reputation dies‘." The Glee Singers will be heard at St. Anthony‘s parish hall on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, Jan. 30th and 31st, under the auspices of the Timmins Kiwanis Club. Members of the Rebekah Lodge are asked to meet at 7 pm. on Thursday evening this week. All the ladies are asked to note this particularly and be sure to attend. The Westminister Glee Singers, those worldâ€"famous singers now visiting Caâ€" nada, and to be in Timmins next Wedâ€" nesday and Thursday, have, in tne course of their many tours been the recipients of some strange and interâ€" esting experiences In Batavia, for inâ€" stance, one of the bass soloists receivâ€" ed the following quaint letter from a Dutch maiden: This letter is a simple sign of my great sympathy for your mighty, splendid voice. Never before, here in India, or in the Netherlands, I have heard a voice like this. I am very happy. I dare tell .you this I wished to retain in remembrance your voice, during my whole life, but by and by I shall forget these mighty sounds like we forget all beautiful things. I know for during a short time, when all the loud sounds of the day have passâ€" ed, and I am laying down dreamy on one late mysterial tropic evening, the sounds of your sympathetic voice will come again to me through the quiet evening air, hovering on a light soft breeze, only for a short dear moment. Then all has passed, I have forgotten these sounds your voice is no more in my life. Do not laugh if these are mistakes in the letter, since seven years I have left school, and by and by I have forgotten what I picked up there.

The three townsâ€"Haileybury, New Lisâ€" keard and Cobailtâ€"have on several ocâ€" casions combined to assure the success of the event referred to and with the talent thus available the events have been noteworthy This North Land is remarkable for the amount of its musiâ€" cal talent. People have gathered here from all ends of the earth, and it is perhaps not strange that there is a notâ€" able array of unusually good singers in practically every town in the North. The Schumacher Choral, the Caledoâ€" nian Choir, the Male Chorus and, reâ€" cently the Timmins Choeral Society, have proved what may be done in this immediate district in the way of gathâ€" ering a remarkable array of good voâ€" calists. Some years ago the late editor of The War Cry, Brigadier Taylor, S.A., while on a visit to Timmins, remarked publicly on the wonderful talent he noted here in the way of community singing. Brigadier Taylor was a noted musician and knew well whereof he spoke â€" Anyone who assists in getting together the musical talent of any community in this North Land is doâ€" ing that community a distinct service. Such a service had been done by R. R. Johnston, Jas. Geils, Geo. Hale and others in this community. Similar serâ€" vice to the Haileybury district is creâ€" ditable to R. H. Unwin, who is directâ€" ing the Choral Society there. Mr. Unâ€" win is busy now preparing for a conâ€" cert at an early date.

Anthony‘s parish hall, Timmins, on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, Jan. 30th and 3l1st. These wonderful singers will be sure to delight all. HAILEYBURY CHORAL CLUB PREPARING FOR CONCERT BERANCHEES TORONTO, O NT . SUNRBRURY While the optimism of his pronounceâ€" ment was of vital importance to capâ€" ital and industry, the point, which he claimed lay not only nearest to the heart of the Government and the inâ€" terest of the Province on the whole, was that of the regeneration of the forest wealth of Ontario. To the members of the Progress Club, the Minister of Lands and Forests not only delivered an address, but preached a sermon which had as its text, "Forest Preservation and Reforestration. "We wish to cultivate public opinion on the matter so that legislation directâ€" ed at forest preservation and reforesâ€" tration will have the support of public opinion," he said. "We wish to so culâ€" tivate public opinion that when a drasâ€" tic step is taken by the present or any succeeding Government in this respect, that the man on the street will say, "I thought of that long ago; it is time that those fools up at Queen‘s Park have wakened up to the need of doing something to preserve the forest wealth of the Province." Mr. Finlayson was of the opinion that the industry was suffering from a 25 per cent. overâ€"expansion. Mr. Finlayson briefly touched on the work of the Forestry Patrol Service of the Ontario Government, which, in the older section of the forest area, has twentyâ€"five million acres under hourâ€" ly observation through the system of watch towers, and a hundred million acres under daily observation by means of the aeroplane patrol system. "In. 1923, when the present service was organized two million, one hunâ€" dred thousand acres of timber were burnéd. In 1927 the area had been reâ€" duced to 35,000 acres," he said. "But above all," the speaker urged, "it must be impressed that timber is a crop and should be treated as a crop and not as a mine." SKIDDING OF TRUCK CAUSED ACCIDENT AT KIRKLAND LAKE "The newsprint industry is suffering from an enormous overâ€"expansion, but it will undoubtedly come back," he stated. 3 At Kirkland Lake some days ago the case against G. Oulette, charging him with reckless and negligent driving of a motor truck was dismissed by the court. The case arose over injuries sustained by John Lahti and Geo. Lightfbot who were hit by the truck while walking on the road near the Beaver Mine. The evidence went to show that the cause of the accident was the skidding of the truck on a slippery piece of roadway while passing the men who were hurt. Chief Factor in Giving Canada a Favâ€" ourable Balance of Trade With U.S.A., Says Minister of Lands and Forests In an address last week to the Proâ€" gress Club at Toronto, Hon, Wm. Finâ€" layson, Minister of Lands gnd Forests, depicted the newsprint indluistry as the chief factor in giving Canada a favourâ€" able balance of trade with the United States. In his opinion, the industry had been materially responsible in making Canada the only country in the world that has been able to keep her standard of currency at par, or above par, with that of the United States. He also suggested in his address that the newsprint industry is going to einâ€" erge from its present crises, and to proâ€" gress and prosper to the general adâ€" vantage of the country.
