There were only three cases in police court last week, the one creating the most interest being that of an emâ€" ployee of the Hollinger Mine who was charged with drilling too close to a missed hole. The man in question had drilled within three feet of the hole which was afterwards found to have contained a stick of diynamite. He was reported by the shift boss and the charge was laid by the mine inâ€" spector. He was given a fine of $10 and costs, with a warning to be more careful in the future.

FEBRUARY HONOUR ROLL MONFTA PUBLIG SCHOOL THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "In the first year after drainage there was little difference in the growth. Apparently the tree had yet to adapt itself to the new condition. In the second year the width of the ring for that season showed an increase of 200 per cent. and in the succeeding years, up to the sixth, or present year, the rate of growth has shown an annual increase of from 300 to 500 per cent. "The growth of every tree is laid on in annual rings. each ing representing a year‘s growth. From trees that have been cut down in other areas, interâ€" esting information regarding «the weaâ€" ther conditions and the seasons for a hundred years back has been secured. The same principle, applied to the measurement of the rings before and after drainage, gives simply amazing details. On several occasions The Advance has had reference to the experiments carried on by the Abitibi Power Paper Co. to improve the size of spruce trees growing in swamps and muskeg. Further reference is made to the matâ€" ter in a recent issue of The Sudbury Star, which paper quotes The Fort William Timesâ€"Journal in an editorial as follows:â€" "It may not be possible to make two or three spruce trees grow where one grew before in the woods of Ontario, but a truly remarkable experiment has been made by the Abitibi Power and Paper Company, which goes to prove that it may be possible to make trees grow two and three times as big, in the same number of years, as they grow now under normal swamp» conditions. ‘"The company had considerable areas of "suppressed" spruce in swamps and muskegs on their limits, says the Fort William Timesâ€"Journal, and H. B. Schanche, manager of the company‘s woodland department, decided to exâ€" periment by draining these swamps, in order to find out what effect drainage would have on the growth of the trees. Certain areas were laid out and drainâ€" ed in 1922, and careful data has been kept of the results. IMPROVING THE GROWTH OF SPRUCE IN THE SWAMPS Part of the programme for the evenâ€" ing was provided by the juvenile pupils of Mr. Bell and this section was o>s special interest. All the young artists did credit to themselves and to their teacher in music. Lorna Monck pleasâ€" ed all with her effective presentation of the violin solo, "Song of .the Sea." The violin solo, "Rosebuds," by Patsy Carson was a charming selection very pleasingly given. Roy Janes in the violin solo, "Flowers and Ferns," won very hearty approval on merit. The classical dance number by little Peggy Shaw was very gracefully given and pleased all. Mr. James McFadden, as piano acâ€" companist for the evening, did his part fully to ensure the success of the proâ€" gramme throughout. Abitibi Power and Paper Co. Making Trees Grow Two and Three Times as Big as Formerly A big number in popular favoeur was the saxaphone solo Tommy Stephens, who was very insistently reâ€" called. He brought out new values in the .saxaphone and the music by this artist was among the treats of the evening. A double encore was won on merit by Miss Poitras in her vocal solo, with Hawaiian accompaniment. This was a very attractive part of the programme. The accompaniment was played by Messrs V. and D. McElwee and Birrell Bell. Willie Shub in the violin solo, "Wings of Songs," showed a very decided talent and gave a striking musical interpretaâ€" tion of the selection. The Birrell Bell Orchestra played with special effectiveness and won very hearty approval for each number given. The orchestra was favoured for the ocâ€" casion by the addition of two skilled saxaphone players, Messrs DeMille and Morrison, whose talented playing addâ€" ed to the attraction of the orchestra. Among the selectiens presented by the orchestra were:â€""Victory‘"; "Cherry Blossoms," ‘"The Flying Ace," "Ole South," and "Autumnal Day." While ali the orchestra numbers were pleasâ€" ing, "Ole South" proved a very special favourite with the audience. As usual Mr. Birrell Bell won very hearty applause and appreciation by his violin selections. «~His first selection, "Air on the G. String," by Matheson, was further proof of Mr. Bell‘s gifts as a violinist. The cornet solo by Carl Johns was ancther special number that delighted all music lovers. Leo Laporte, in his violin solo, "5th Air Varie," with quartette accompaniâ€" ment, was an excellent number partiâ€" cularly well given and showing the imâ€" provement made by this young violinâ€" ist. There was a good crowd attended the Birrell Bell Concert Party programme given in the Goldfields theatre this week. Col. S. B. Scobell occupied the chair in very capable way, effectively introducing the several numbers on the excellent programme provided. The gathering enjoyed every number on the programme and showed appreciation by continued applause. MANY ATTRAGTIVE NUMBERS AT BIRRELL BELL GONCERT Programme Included Ex¢tellent Selecâ€" tions by hes and Other Varied Num by Capable "Taking the whole of the sixzx years "It would seem from such very genâ€" eral observations that have been made to date that this project may possibly in due course show definitely the economy of adopting this form of soil treament to vast areas in the northern parts of Ontario and Quebec, which are now either totally unproductive as muskegs or at best support only a more or less stunted and exceedingly slowâ€" growing stand of timber, much of which cannot in the ordinary course of events become merchantable for an inâ€" definite period." ABOUT PLANTING TREESâ€"ON STREFTS AND HIGHWAYS At each succeeding convention of the Ontario Horticultural Association street and highway trees have been given inâ€" creasing attention. At the 1928 conâ€" vention a committee was appointed to "The experiment which has been carried on by the Abitibi company is considered a pronounced success, and the company is about to launch a simiâ€" lar research project on a much broader scale, where complete and detailed data can be collected on the thousand and one phases which will present themselves in the course of such a stuay, Suitable Trees for Planting in the North.
