Out of a total vote of 646 there were only 97 votes in favour of selling the municipal system to the Northern Telephone Co., the 367 other voters marking their balâ€" lots against. A strong campaign was carried on in favour of the sale, the Cochrane newspaper, The Northland Post, throwing its weight in favour of: the sale. It was argued that the Cochâ€" rane plant needed practically to be reâ€" placed and also that unless Cochrane sold out to the Northern Telephone Co., Limited, the town would be in a posiâ€" tion of "isolation" so far as telephone service is concerned, as the Northern Telephone Co. owns the phone system in practically all the towns of this North. The good sense of the people of Cochrane, however, apparently overâ€" came all the arguments advanced why they should sell, or give away, their telephone system. If the people of Cochrane have to replace their presâ€" ent system, they will at least own it when that is done. They would no doubt have to pay the cost of replaceâ€" ment in any case in increased rates and then not own the system after buying it and paying for it in extra charges. If Cochrane now finds its telephone serâ€" vice unstatisfactory, the people may go ahead and better it. In case they sold the system they would simply have to take whatever service might be given them. When the matter of selling out the Cochrane telephone system was first propesed, The Advance suggested that before allowing the service to pass from their hands the Cochrane peopls consider the service given in other towns, like Timmins for instance, and the charges made. In Timmins the most of the telephone users are paying more now for a poorer service than the Northern Canada Power asked for the good service given while the power company owned the telephone lines here. The Cobalt correspondent of The North Bay Nugget writes last week:â€" "In an effort to determine if any serious leaks exist in the homes of the citizens, the Public Utilities Commisâ€" sion has instructed James Boland to make a houseâ€"toâ€"house visit and exaâ€" mine all water pipes and sewer comecâ€" tions. Some action of this nature has been contemplated for some time past, and now the survey will be made at once. Mr. Boland will visit every house in town and householders who have leaky pipes and taps will be exâ€" pected to make the necessary repairs without delay. The commission has been trying to find where all the water pumped goes, as it has been felt for a long time that some serious leak must exist in the system, or possibly a serics of small leaks." Mr. and Mrs. Norman Trumble left on Monday for Kapuskasing where they will take up residence. COBALT TO EXAMINE HOUSES FOR LEAKS IN WATER PIPES THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The annual relay road race will be held from Charlton Consolidated School, Chariton to the Royal Bank corner, Englehart, on Friday, May 24th. There are four teams entered this year. Some days ago a large trout was caught in Sasaginaga Lake by Art Meyers of Cobalt. It was the biggest fish secured in the section for a long time past. It tipped the scales at ten pounds and a half. Sasaginaga Lake is the chief reservoir for the water supply cf the town of Cobalt. The board of health will not permit the use of boats on the lake but there is nothing to stop fishing from the shore. Mr. Meyers made his big catch from the shore. In making this big catch he did a double turnâ€"securing a goodâ€"sized trout, and taking cut a fish from the town reserâ€" voir. No town wants fish in the town reservoir. [ "In another column we reproduce paragraph from the Timmins Advance commending the example of a man of 78 who took up a settler‘s lot near Kapuskasing and in three years has cleared 20 acres. This is a fine and inspiring example to younger others, and is certainly above the average of the achievements of our Northern setâ€" tlers. The citation, however affords us opportunity to again draw attention to the quite unsatisfactory position of settlers in the North. At this rate of going, the hardy octogengrian would ‘take twentyâ€"four years to clear his lot of 160 acres! We pointed out before that years ago in the West the cases of many thousands of alien immigrants, speaking not a word of English, who came along and paid $10, deposit for a homestead of 160 acres were helped by neighbour compatriots, and in three years would have their patent, most of the land under cultivation, reâ€" venue enough from crops grown to pay cost (or most of it) of their machinery and buildings, and have the assurance of a freehold of a quarter of square mile of land and a well assured inâ€" come. Granted that bush settlement must be on a different basis yet we reâ€" iterate thiat there is too miuich disparity between the two. Now the Peace River country is opening up with rush, and may easily within the span of a few years absorb some thousands of settlers who in a few years will repeat the same experience and own their own prosperous sections. It is plain and fundamental common sense that the North requires chains of settlement through it, and the situation should be thoroughly surveyed so that icondiâ€" tions will be created in the settlers‘ favour by which they may get along in the world as a reward for their hard work. Northern Ontario is right at the back door of Old Ontario, whose sons have gone thousands of miles for landâ€"hunger opportunities which might have been provided for them within a few hundred miles. Is the same state of affairs to be allowed to drag along indefinitely, while cabinet ministers diâ€" late upon forest conservation all out of proportion to its true importance to the living generation? Pretty soon we may have aerial companies taking up settlers over our heads by plane to the Arctic "barren land," where it is quite conceivable that they could do as well as Northern Ontario settlers under preâ€" sent conditions. Let us have the figâ€" ures of what settlers we are putting on the lands up here, what it is costing, how long they are remaining, what progress they are making toward a competence." LARGE TROUT CAUGHT IN COBALT TOWN‘S RESERVOIR UNSATISFAGTORY QF SETTLERS IN THE NORTH Chains of Settlement Required Through the North to Give Settlers Proper Chance. Also Roads! on the courage and optimism of a man of 78 who took up land near Kapuskasing and in three years had 20 acres cleared. It may be true that this is comparatively slow progress, but in comparison wtih other settlers in the North the old gentleman made great advance for three brief years. The moral that The Advance drew was that such a man deserved the assistâ€" ance of roads. He is certainly the right kind of citizen and despite his age fine type of settler, and The Advance felt that the Government should go out of its way to help this type of helpful settlerâ€"the kindi that helps themselves and so helps the country. If the settlers had roads they would ask little else from Governments. Tke paragraph in The Advance was reâ€" produced in The Northern Tribune of Kapuskasing, that paper making it the text of an editorial sermon. wWith much that The Northern Tribune says there will be very general agreement, while a few points are perhaps overâ€" stressed. The editorial in The Norâ€" thern Tribune says, in part:â€" A couple of weeks ago The Advance had a brief editorial note commenting Why be satisfied with bulk coffse when it is a well known fact that only vacuum packed coffee holds inâ€" definitely, that much desired aroma and strength. Rideau Hall COFPFEE A s JY U M J. B. Moore was recently appointedi? tax collector for the town of Cochrane,| 4 his proposal as accepted being that hc|% would collect $135,000.00 at a commisâ€" £ sion of one per cent., and no commisâ€" / sion to be paid him until he had colâ€" é lected the full amount. e _ Despatches this week from Cobalt say that though the town of Cobalt was asked some months ago by the Mines Hospital for a grant of $2,000 toward the maintenance of that instiâ€" tution, no action along this line has yvet been taken by the town fathers, and the matter is at a deadlock following a meeting of the hospital board last week and at which Mayor A. F. Sullivan was present. When the original request came before council, some objection was taken there to the fact that no meeting had been held by the board for months, and it was alleged that counâ€" cil, although the mayor sat with the hospital trustees as a member of that body, had little information regarding the operating costs of the hospital. The matter has hung fine since but was again mentioned at the Cobalt council last week. Subsequently, the boar? met, but Mayor Sullivan was latc: quoted as saying he could get no satisâ€" faction on the various points he brought forward, one of which referred to the salary being paid the secretary of the board, G. A. Cavin. No progress was made, the mayor said, and no atâ€" tempt has been made yet to make the grant asked. The township of Coleâ€" man has paid over $1,000 as its donaâ€" tion and a suggestion at a hospital board meeting was to the effect that the town levy a head tax on the cit:-; zens to raise the money for Cobalt‘s donation. At Parry Sound last week, Anthony Tucker, a lad of 13 years of age, was acquitted on the charge of manâ€" slaughter arising from the shooting of his father on March 15th of this year. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty after deliberating for about two hours. Mr. Justice Raney accepted the verdict of the jury and told the lad he was free to go home with his mother. Mr. Justice Raney in addressing the lad, however, told him, that he (the judge) was not sure but that it would have been better had he (the lad) been sent to an industrial school. He adâ€" vised the mother to consult with the parish priest as to the boy‘s future course. The mother in her evidence said that her husband had been a heavy drinker all his life and the habit had grown stronger as he grew older. He was however, of kindly disposition and a good man when sober, she said. She also told of her husband abusing her and the son advising her to go to the neighbours. While she was on her way through the yard the husband had chased her with a club and was beatâ€" ing© her when Anthony, Jr., went in and got the gun with which her husâ€" band had threatened her a few minutes before, and after calling to his father to stop hitting the mother, the lad had fired the shot that later proved fatal. The boy himself told of seeing his father attempting to beat his mother with a club. He got the rifle and shot his father to save his mother. Some Wise and Amusing Thoughts on Advertising THIRTEENâ€"YEARâ€"OLD BOY ACQUITTED OF MANSLAUGHTER The following sentences quoted in recent issue of Toronto Saturday Night will be read with much interest and amusement, and if given as much thought as they will win of chuckles should also prove of practical value:â€" COBALT USE HEAD TAX FOR HOSPITAL MONEY Lord Dewar, opening the London and North Eastern Railway poster exhibiâ€" tion at the New Burlington Gallaries, Piccadily, had some amusing remarks The greatest mistake you can make in this life is to be continually fearing you will make one. to make about things in general and advertising in particular. They inâ€" cluded: Samson got some wonderful adverâ€" tising results when he took two columns, and certainly brought down the house. If you do not advertise you fossilize. ‘The lions of society are tigers for publicity. Were it not for a man‘s faults he might live and die without ever hearâ€" ing his name mentioned. Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down. No man, however insignificant he looks, questions your judgment when you tell him he looks distinguished. An ounce of flattery is worth more than a ton of tombstone obituary. Nothing deflates so fast as a puncâ€" tured reputation. Success is merely a matter of buying your experience cheap and selling it at a profit. Many a false step is made by standâ€" ing still. i D . . 4 . t i s o i . . . i . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . i i s o i . 6 s s i s i . . n in 16 e ie ic t WANTS ROAD FROM COCHRANE TO KAPUSKASING RUSHED The Northern Tribune last week says : â€" "It is to be hoped that the road beâ€" tween Kapuskasing and Cochrane will get through with the least possible deâ€" lay, because of the great need for it as a means of interâ€"communication for the North and the known desire of many auto tourists to visit this place when it becomes possible. Many of them have to take their summer holiâ€" days on schedule, and if the road is not passable in July they may not be able to make the trip at all this year. Work should also proceed at top speed on the bad stretches of the Ferguson highway from North Bay to Cochrane. It is a poor advertisement for the North when a tourist becomes bogged on a main provincial highway that has been much bragged about. The heavy fiveâ€"cent perâ€"gallon gasoline tax will pay, in its imposts on this road alone, for all the work that is required to put it in firstâ€" class shape." // Write for free Nestlé‘s Milky Way R ecipe C y3 Mad« in C CANADA®‘S by the Mal KOW , Neésilé‘s Bat 6M Nestlé‘s Food Company of Canada Limited, Toronto Editors like to receive letters from readers, provided the letters are to the point, courteous, and brief.
