AMNEw Dining cars There are newspapers and odd people who would introduce into Canada type of journalism that has been a cross between a joke and a curse in the United â€" States. The Advance has pointed out on several occasions that it is the supposedly staid and respectâ€" able newspapers that are in reality the more truly enterprising. Yet the only argument in favour of "yellow" journâ€" alism is the soâ€"called virtue of snap and smartness. The lengths to which this type of newspaper enterprise will go was indicteda some months ago when a soâ€"called newspaperman claimâ€" ed that he smuggled a camera into the death chamber, after promise to avoid all such acts, and that he thus secured a picture of a woman sitting in the electric chair. For all the information the picture gave she might just as well have been sitting in an old apple tree. What anyone would want to see the gruesome picture for would puzzle a sane person, but the faithâ€"breaking trick was considered clever by some lowâ€"brows. Another example of this same type of journalism is referred to in ‘The Boston Herald recent date as follows:â€"‘"The two reporters of a New York tabloid who yesterday reâ€" ceived sentences of three months each in the house of correction for breakâ€" ing into and entering the Huntingdon boys‘ room in Drayton hall, Cambridge, got what they deserved. There are deâ€" finite limits to which a newspaperman may ethically go in search for news. This pair very clearly overstepped them. To argue that they were trying to find clues to the identity of the murâ€" derer (if the case is one of murder) is foolish. The boys‘ rooms had already been thoroughly searched by both Cambridge and Connecticut police offiâ€" cers and everything which might relate to the case had been removed. To put it plainly, they were after letters or pictures which, might appeal to the baser instincts of their paper‘s readâ€" NEWSPAPER WORK SHOULD BE CONDUCTED DECENTLY Pembroke â€" Standardâ€"Observer:â€"Sir Wilfrid Laurier had to get rid of Israel Tarte. Sir Robert Borden had to get rid of Sr. Sam Hughes. Both of them were rocking the boat, and it had to be a case of safety first. And Mackenzie King would do well to call the attenâ€" tion of the Hon. Mr. Veniot to these facts in political history y Servict After dinner orators often refer to mining as one of the basic industries, but it is doubtful if people in general realize how vital mining is to modern living conditions. Think of any comâ€" fort or convenience in modern life toâ€" day and it will be found to depend diâ€" rectly or indirectly upon mining. Some one may suggest, for instance, that it is another basic industry of the North Land â€"lumbering â€"for. which the world is indebted for habitations. The reply to this is to mention the fact that both depend upon the mining industry for existence. Clothing? Well, could clothing be cut and sewn on ‘modern lines without the mining inâ€" ‘ dustry? And all colours would need to be practically abandoned along with the mining industry. Mr. Ross H. Moâ€" wat deals effectively in a recent article with the basic nature of the mining \industry. Mr. Mowat says:â€" on m on ns n es en en ie en tm e d n e e e e e n e n e ie oi the saws with which the lumber is mxtl and the nails that bind it in place,; ‘two oth:! how ! creasing gaining trial life sell, dep dominiof tion to 1 departm that mi second C and, he which it the reali not alt operatiof matter 0 dian pro three Of th mining : the indu just isst mineral | first qua value of reached HOW COMFORTS DEPEND LPON MINING INDUSTRY "The very paint on the house possessâ€" es ingredients derived from the mine, in one form or another, such as lead.

"What of sanitatien and refrigeraâ€" tion? Plumbing employs lead, Zzinc, and other base metals, and in electriâ€" cal refrigeration we again utilize the necessary copper metal and its alloys. "Do we realize, in the enjoyment of the comforts and luxuries of our modâ€" ern homes, the part that mining plays in contributing to these necessities and luxuries? "Consider first the illumination of our homes. Without the mining of copper and the utilization of copper alloys such as brass, we would be back in the days of kerosene lamps or tallow canâ€" dles. The pleasing soft glow of the home, or the brilliant lighting effect of the ballroom are achieved through the transmission of electricity by copper wire,. "What of the heating of the home? Whether heated by electricity, oil furâ€" nace, or coal, mining forms the basis of such artificial heat. The importâ€" ance in the national life of coal mining speaks for itself; and, as in the appliâ€" cation of electricity, the development of the oil furnace necessitates the use of copper and other metals, all having their origin in the bowels of mother earth. "It has been stated that we live in an electrically mechanized age. True, but without the prior development of the science of mining and metallurgy, the application of electricity in its varied and multitudinous ways would not be possible. are nickelâ€"plated, both products of the mine. "Our beautiful silverware and brassâ€" ware adorning the table have a metallic origin, and so it is with our radios, our vacuum cleaners and other labourâ€"savyâ€" ing devices. In every direction modern civilization utilizes to the full the proâ€" ducts of the mine. Mining, then, is a basic industry, serving our necessities, our luxuries, and even determining the basis of our buying power through our gold currency."

The annual convention of the Canâ€" adian Weekly Newspaper‘s Associaâ€" tion is to be held at London, Ont., on July 4th and 5th. Weekly publishers from every province in the Dominion will foregather for the purpose of reâ€" newing friendships and discussing business methods. Since 1859 there has been an Assoâ€" ciation of weekly publishers. The strength of the association has grown with the years, and the improvement in the printing and publishing busiâ€" ness has kept up with the advancement in other professions and business, due in part to the activity of the associaâ€" tion, and in part to the willingness of its members to progress. The meeting at London is to be adâ€" dressed by some outstanding men in the editorial, printing and publishing departments, and as is usual some deâ€" lightful social events for the delegates is being provided. The newspapers asâ€" sociation conventions have been held in â€"Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Halifax, Bigwin Inn, with attendances around three hunâ€" dred. In 1921 the members toured the west in a special train; the east in 1923. while 170 of the association tourâ€" ed the British Isles and the continent in 1924. The Porcupine Adlvance is a member of the Canadian Weekly Newsâ€" papers Association. The presiding officer for the com ing convention is Mr. H. B. Anslow 0 The Graphic, Campbeliton, (N.B.) THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Electric â€" Lighting, of l "Of the increasing importance of the \mining and metallurgical industries in | the industrial life of Ontario, the report just issued, upon the value of the ‘mineral output of the province in the first quarter of 1929 is evidence. The value of that production in the period ‘reached $19,780,780, an increase of nearly 25 per cent. over the output of the corresponding quarter of last year. ‘The value of the gold mined in the ‘province in the three months of 1929 ’showed a slight decrease when comâ€" pared with that of the gold mined in the same months last year. While !that was so, the value of the output of | silver and of copper and nickel in the ‘first quarter of 1929 was more than double the value of the output of the same metals in the like period of 1928. : Mr. Camsell notes in his report that in 1927 Ontario led all the provinces in \mineral production, with British Colâ€" ‘umbia second, Nova Scotia and Alâ€" |berta almost equal, Quebéc fifth with rapdilyâ€"increasing production, and ‘Manitoba, New Brunswick, the Yukon and Saskatchewan following in the order given. He mentions that develâ€" opments in Quebec and more recently in western Manitoba and in Saskatcheâ€" wan have thrown a new light on the mineral resources of these provinces. The developments to which he alludes have directed attention to the extent to which the mineralâ€"bearing geological formation known as the preâ€"Cambrian shield covers northern Canada. The result has been a great increase in acâ€" tivity in the search for minerals in which it is so rapidly expanding makes the realization of this prophecy appear not altogether impossible. ‘"Mining operations," he asserts, "are now a matter of vital concern to "three Canaâ€" dian provinces, of prime importance to two others, and Are becoming of inâ€" creasing importance to the remaining three large provinces." In an editoriai articile iast week The Toronto Mail and Empire discusses the growth of the importance of the minâ€" ing and metallurgical industries, as follows:â€" "Upon the fact that the mining and metallurgical industries are yearly gaining in importance in the indusâ€" trial life of Canada, Mr. Charles Camâ€" sell, deputy minister of mines of the dominion, comments in his introducâ€" tion to the latest annual report of his department. It has been said, he notes that mining may soon rank as the second of Canada‘s primary industries, and, he adds, a study of the fields over Increasing Importance of the Mining Industry As W\\u CA .'\( {' hl!“ if, " TN l ' ( “ ‘ EV “',t (3 Ic.

The search for minerals, he says, is toâ€"day contributing more than any other agency to the exploration of unâ€" mapped territory, and the map of the dominion is being unrolled northward with remarkable rapidity. Enough is now known of the resources of the north, asserts the deputy minister of mines of the dominion, to enable one to foresee the establishment, within a comparatively short space of time, of imvoortant mining and metallurgical centres throbbing with life and moveâ€" ment, and contributing materially to the greater economic development of the dominion. Such an assertion from such a source must be gratifying to Canadians who desire to see their counâ€" try progress and prosper." that great territory in the past few years. Announcement was made last week by Mayor Sullivan of Cobalt that the Provincial Government would mainâ€" tain the main street of the town as an incorporated part of the Ferguson highway. The announcement was made at the regular meeting of the town council of Cobalt, and Mayor Sullivan, dealing with a visit paid to Premier Ferguson by himself and Councillor Boughton, said the premier had told C. H. Fullerton, Deputy Minister of Northern Development, to take over the street as a special grant to the town of Cobalt, and that A. J. Kennedy, M.L.A. for Temiskaming, who accompanied them, was warned this action was not to be regarded by other towns as a preâ€" cedent. Although the Mayor said the town no longer had any financial interest in the suggested bridging of the Lang street crossing, now that the streets were taken over, he declared a conferâ€" ence would be held at Cobalt at an early date with regard to this crossing. At this meeting, the Northern Developâ€" ment Branch and the T. N. O., through Mr. Fullerton and George W. Lee, respectively, had announced they would be represented and the mayor was appointed by council to appear for Cobalt at the Giscussion.
