In view of the discussion arising from references made by Capt. Roy Maxwell after his visit to Moose Facâ€" tory some weeks aAgo, the opinion of another visitor to the far north is worth consideration. _ Capt. Maxwell | found many Indians ill and suffering and felt that something should be done to relieve the hardships under which, they suffer. The Indians come under ; an Ottawa department, and, of course, | the reply came almost at once thail Capt. Maxwell was mistaken, or some thing. Everything was "jakeâ€"aâ€"10c / | with the Indians, was the suggesti0 i made by Ottawa as usual. Fime aftc~ time someone has been coming forâ€" ward in the past ten years and morsc to call attention to the conditions unâ€" der which the Indians liveâ€"and die. Sometimes it is a prospector, sometime s an explorer, sometimes traveller, | sometimes a missionary! The Ottawal answer is always the same. Ottawa‘ points out that the Government sendsi in a doctor once a year when the treaty | money is paid the Indians and that| consequently, accordingly and therc-l fore., the Indians are all right, never were better, and whoever dares to sugâ€" | gest otherwise is everything the said suggestor should not be. But the peo-I ple in general are not satisfied with this | line of talk, this sweeping aside as not | worthy of consideration of the reports made by honest and earnest people who have visited the far north. One missionary who had spent a great numâ€" ber of years in the far north among the Indians wrote innumerable letters to the press and lectured about the matter for months, until he was either worn out by discouragement of else induced by some other influence to deâ€" sist in his apparent efforts for a square deal for the Indians. All the answer he received from the Government was the same sort of reply given in regard to Capt. Maxwell‘s report. The averâ€" age man believes that there must be some foundation to the stories brought out by so many kinds of travellers in regard to the hardships endured by the Indians. Ordinary people can not perâ€" suade themselves that men in a posiâ€" tion to know should not know or should twist the facts. Here is another case to add to the weight of evidence. It is from an interview in Toronto with Mr. Harry Linney, of Bracebridge, a memâ€" ber of the Ontario Provincial Archiâ€" vist‘s staff. Mr. Linney has just reâ€" turned from a visit to the far north. It is not his first visit and he has some _acquaintance with the country and the people. He speaks of the Long Lac !section of country north of the Transâ€" continental Railway. Mr. Linney is ‘well and favourably known in the North, and no one will be ready to %think he is either an alarmist or A | twister of facts. "Restrictions in trapping of beaver and otter are a decided hardship on the Indians in the Long Lac area of Northern Ontario, Mr. Linney is quotâ€" ed in The Globe as declaring. "In the long stretch of country from Oba west and north to Hearst, lying between the two lines of Canadian National Railâ€" ways beyond Long Lac and along to the Nipigon waters, the Indians are in hard luck. They are not starving, but they have very little fur for their trapâ€" ping effort." Mr. Linney has been up there for two | weeks gathering Indian history and | legendary, and incidentally addressed meetings at Capreol, Sudbury, Horneâ€" payne, Nakina and Iroquois Falls on "Summer Resorts of Ontario." "Fox are extremely scarce," said Mr. Linney. "Trapping of beaver and otter is closed. The purpose is to conserve, to give these animals a chance. With beaver closed the Indian is hard hit. Fox is practically nil. So he has nothâ€" ing to sell. The area north of the upâ€" per line of railway is open. The Long Lac Indian, however cannot see the point of journeying up there. He folâ€" lows his old trails, visits his traps, and l gets nothing. "But it should be further pointed out | that foreigners are buying furs at o around $12 for extra large beaver," hel fc claimed, smuggling the beaver | and otter out of the country and the‘ Government is losing royalties on skins | < also the sales tax after skins are dressâ€" 1 ed. The practice works against the Inâ€" 2: dian, and practically his sole supportgl has been taken away in not being alâ€"| 1 lowed to take beaver legally. The closed season does not promote his 4 morals And the foreign buyer takes| 2 advantage of him in prices, scaring| 3 him into selling cheaply those skins| 4 obtained illegally, while the local home buyers have their hands tied. 6 "On the other hand the Government department, having preservation . of furâ€"bearing animals in mind, has the sympathy of the people generally, while those who see only the Indian as the ward of the people make the claim that the close season is taking away the Indian‘s right to hunt and trap for his selfâ€"support under the Robinson Treaty of long ago."

R. Finucane, a former mine manager at Cobalt, and a director of th» Dome Mines at one time, being well known and highly â€" regarded throughout the North, is believed to be one of the four men stated to be missâ€" ing in an American airplane mystery. Information at Cobalt last week was to the effect that Mr. Finucane was on the plane which is said to have disâ€" appeared in the region of Barnegat. N. J., while on a trip from Norfolk, Va., to New York. One correspondent at Cobalt says:â€"‘"It is known here that he had intended returning most of the way to his home at Rochester, N. Y from Miami, Fla., by air, as a letter from his wife to Mrs. L. J. Jemmett, Haileybury, had told of this plan. Mr. and Mrs. Finucane had been wintering at Miami, it is stated, and the latter had been in illâ€"health for some time, your correspondent was informed by a friend here. Mr. and Mrs. Finucane are former residents of Cobalt, and since they left the camp in 1917 have made their home in Rochester. For six years prior to 1917 Mr. Finucane was manager of the McKinleyâ€"Darâ€" raghâ€"Savage mines here, leaving to beâ€" come general manager of the company, 1924.
