Still to be seen at the east end of Sagawitchewan bay just off the map to the east are the ruins of the first Island Lake Post built by the Hudson‘s Bay Company over a cenâ€" tury ago. The exact date is uncertain but a definite reference to its exisâ€" tence is made in an entry in the diary of Deputy Governor Nicholas Garry under date of August 17, 1821. This early post was abandoned soon after it was built. In 1840 the Hudson‘s Bay Company built a post at the north end of Linklater island at the northâ€" west corner of the lake. Again is was abandoned and not until 1864 did Cuthâ€" bert Sinclair build Island Lake House in its present position, a short disâ€" tance south of the location of the post erected in 1840. To the south of it on opposite sides of the lake are Indian Reserves 22 and 22a. On each of these there is a mission. A map gives all the information it has at once. There is no turning of pages to find out how the story ends. The country depicted is spread before the reader in panorama. The main body of Island lake inâ€" cludes over two thousand islands, and is roughly fortyâ€"five miles long and nine to thirteen miles wide, as shown on the Island Lake map sheet of the National Topographic series compiled by the Topographical Survey, Departâ€" ment of the Interior. This map sheet, issued on a scale of four miles to the inch, embraces an area of about five thousand five hundred square miles. Island lake which features the northâ€" eastern part of the map and converges on the Ontarioâ€"Manitoba interprovinâ€" cial boundary is one hundred and twenty miles east of Norway House and nearly threse hundred miles northcast of Winnipeg. NEW MAP ISSUED SHOWS ISLAND LAKE MINING AREFA On a map compiled over fifty years ago from an exploratory survey of the region, an approximation of the muchâ€" indented shore line of the lake was given, the central portion being blank except for note, ‘Full of Islands." Such was the mapping information available until the lake and surroundâ€" ing waterways were surveyed by means of aerial photographs. The new mayp, a product of this method of survey, is the first exact representation of the islandâ€"studded lake so aptly named. The Haunt of the Prospector in This Case is Nature‘s Paradise as Well, It is Pointed Out. Interest in the area from a mining standpoint has been aroused through the recent staking of mineral claims along the south shore of Island lake and adjoining islands. The area mappect lies within the great Canadian Shield. The maximum elevation of the land is two hundred feet above the level of the adjacent water features, the average being fifty to seventyâ€"five feet. There is a conâ€" siderable amount of timber, the growth on a number of islands representing original forest with trees up to twentyâ€" four inches in diameter. Spruce is the most abundant, attaining log size suitâ€" able for beams and other building purâ€" poses. Other specials include jackpine, balsam fir, aspen and white birch. A small sawmill shown at the southern end of Sussault bay of Island lake, maintained by one of the missions, supplies local needs. ~ Some portions of the map sheet, as indicated by a small diagram below the map, have not yet been mapped and the topographical features are conseâ€" quently not filled in. Entrance to the Island lake region is commonly made by canoe route one hundred and sixty miles long with over thirty portagesâ€"a trip of from seven to ten daysâ€"from Norway House, via Gunicao river, McLaughlin river and finally into Stevenson lake and river, shown on the upper west side of the map, where the canoe route is marginâ€" ally noted. Numerous in the rivers, lakes and brooks are trout, pickerel, pike and white fish. These fish form the prinâ€" cipal source of food supply for the Indians during the summer months when moose and caribou are scarce and hard to get. Fisher, lynx, marten, otter, fox and muskrat skins comprise the fur catch. As our northern country develops further, it is entirely within the bounds of possibility that this picturesâ€" que region, now frequented only by the trapper, hunter and prospector, will become one of Manitobas popular sumâ€" mer resorts. Copies of the Island Lake map sheet may be obtained on application to the Surveyor General, Department of the Interior, Ottawa, at a nominal charge of twentyâ€"five cents in the thin paper edition, or for fifty cents if desired on linen back or in folder form.

Babson, the business statistician and forecaster. He purchased for $3,000 space in newsâ€" papers of cities to sell the Babson Statistical Service and then he spent the same amount, $3,000, for radio broadcasting, to advertise the same product. Here are the results: â€" From his newspaper advertising he received 4,000 inquiries, costing him 75 cents each. From his radio advertising he received a total of 16 inquiries and two orders. These cost him at the rate of $166.66 each. In his newspaper advertising he told his story briefly and interestingly. In his radio advertising he hired a wellâ€" known orchestra to play for 25 minâ€" utes on a network, followed by a fiveâ€" minute talk on the Babson service. The result will surprise no experâ€" ienced advertising man, but to have the exact figures from a recognized busiâ€" ness statistician is interesting and imâ€" portant There were a thousand of them, all alive and hungry, shipped by Canadian Pacific Express Comâ€" pany from Oak Lake, Manitoba to Hamburg Germany, via Canadian Pacific freighter Beaverford.

Golf course will take place on Saturday afâ€" ternoon next at 2.30 oclock. The golf club, known as the Conglomerate Club, which has only lately been organized already has a membership of 30. It has been successful in laying out a 9â€" hole course on the north side of the Toughâ€"Oakes property and already several oldâ€"time players have been getâ€" ting the kinks out of their system. While there hay not as yet been any holeâ€"inâ€"oneâ€"shots made, several good scores have been hung up, and it is also hinted that some of the caddies have also been tempted by bribes to say that the scores were correct. Any person interested, whether a member or not, is invited to attend the opening ceremonies on Saturday. New memâ€" bers will be welcomed at any time."

Sundberg will be much missed in town where they made hosts of friends.

YHN FIRE THURSDAY SEEMED 10 BE OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN The other alar mcarme in at 11.20 p.m. from Box 51 and the fire was at 20 Mountjioy. The house was recently ocâ€" cupied by Mr. Levine, who moved out that day. Shankman Bros. own the property. The fire apparently started in a box sitting near the chimney. This had not much of a headway and the firemen were able to put it out by the use of the chemical tank. The damage would be around $15.00. On Monday of this week at 9.15 a.m., the firemen had a telephone call to the George Taylor Hardware, where the back part of the building had caught fire. Practically no damage was done by this little blaze which was noticed in time before it had any start. This fire was caused by one of the waste paâ€" per burners sitting to near the building and flames from the burner catching property are Hollinger latr from Box 54 Thursday. ‘I Fire Rrigade Did Good Work in F venting Loss of Dwellings Last Week on the building. The firemen soon stopned this little blaze. NE W Recently a new company to be known as the James Bay Basin Oil Company, Limited, was formed with the annountâ€" ed purpose of exploring and developâ€" ing a group of properties which have been secured on the Moose River,. On these claims oil seepage has been found and the geology and other indications are suggestive of oil ‘deposits The James Bay Basin Oil Co. property is north of the claims being drilled at present at Blacksmith Rapids by the Oontario Government. The Governâ€" ment has a diamond drill at Blackâ€" smith Rapids to explore the geology of the area in that territory. If the Govâ€" ernment reports are favourable it will, of course, add to the interest in the James Bay Basin Co. property, but it is understood that in any case the comâ€" pany intends to go on and explore and develop the property, Those in the company believe they have a specially promising proposition, and although no official announcement is made at presâ€" ent, it is generally thought that an extensive plan of development and exâ€" ploration is promised for the Moose River territory. The work of the comâ€" pany will be watched with the greatest interest to see what may develop from these Moose River oil fields. At the same time there will be about equal notice to the efforts of the Governâ€" ment in to search for oil indications near the Abitibi river, north of Cochâ€" rane. nd h TAKEN FROM TIMMINS TO OTTAWA ON COURT CHARGE Timmins recently brought back from Montreal a former resident of this town who was accused of deserting his famâ€" ily and neglecting to provide for them. This man explained why he left the family in the first place and offered to provide a proper home for the childâ€" ren. The magistrate gave him a chance to do so, sentence being susâ€" pended, and last week the father left for Montreal taking the children back with him. Another support case was tried last week at Ottawa, a resident of Timmins being taken back from here to Ottawa to answer a charge of failing to proâ€" vide for his family. In this case also no sentence was imposed, but it was impressed upon the man taken to Otâ€" tawa that he must look after his family. In referring to the matter, The Ottawa Journal says:â€" "Brought back from Timmins, Ont., where he was arrested charged with failing to provide for his wife and family, Richard Hewitt appeared in Domestic Relations Court last night beâ€" fore Judge J. F. McKinley and was allowed to go on suspended sentence. He was ordered to pay the City of Otâ€" tawa $230, the cost of providing for his family during his absence and the exâ€" penses of the officer bringing him back to Ottawa. Alex Renton, court officer, stated in the testimony that Hewitt was living in an almost inaccessible place 18 miles from Timmins and there was the possibility of him being unaware of his family‘s condition during part of the time. In suspending sentence Judge McKinley said he was giving Hewitt an opportunity to make good because he felt the interest of all parâ€" ties concerned could best be served if Hewitt would get a job and look after his family."
