Copper Cliff is complaining at presâ€" ent because a number of porcupines nave caused trouble of one kind and snother. The dogs at Copper Cliff feel that porcupines should not be 2E We ECC allowed there, and the owners of the dogs fully back this up, as might well be expected. In commenting on the matter The Sudbury Star says:â€" "Porcupines have invaded the preâ€" cincts of Copper Cliff during the past few weeks and threaten to become a common nuisance around the town. Two of the finickey denizens of the bush have already been killed on the streets by members of the police force and the last time the officer of the law was just in time to save a small white dog from getting a mouthful of quills. Local naturalists are puzzled to find an explanation of the invasion, but severâ€" al signs of the depredations of the beasts have been found. One family was kept awake during the night by a strange noise at the back of the house and, in the morning, found a painting job on the back porch ruined. At a Poland Street boarding house a porâ€" cupine gnawed into a wooden case containing salt meat which had been left exposed outside the house." Huntingdon Gleaner:â€"Springfield, Mass., has recently had an example of the thoroughness of a mail order house. In the mail came a bulky cataâ€" logue addressed to "Samuel Chaplin, corner of State and Chestnut Streets." The mail carrier had no difficulty in finding the address but the addressee reâ€" mained unmoved when the book was offered to him.

One unusuâ€" ally peculiar thing about this case is that the patient is violent and apâ€" parently very insane at home, but when placed under observation acts in auict and normal way and seems to be fully recovered. The Haileyburian last week made the following reference to the case:â€" "A peculiar case of meontal derangeâ€" ment that is being watched at the disâ€" "A peculiar case of meontal derangeâ€" ment that is being watched at the disâ€" trict jaili here is that of an Elk Lake man who, until recently was employed at one of the mines in the neighbourâ€" hood of Gowganda. A week or two ago he apparently went out of his mind and caused considerable excitement befcre he was taken care of by the police. It was believed that he was insane and he was sent to the jail here in the regular course, to be held until he could be sent on to an institution in Ssouth Ontario. "On arrival at the jail he was quite quiet and docile, showing no sign of excitement or derangement, and after being closely observed was sent home, as it was believed that he would get over his trouble. However, shortly after he landed at his home he became more or less violent and it was stated that he so frightened some of his peoâ€" ple that they ran into the river to escape him. When this occurred he was again taken in charge and brought down to the jail. "Perhaps the most peculiar part of the affair is the fact that since being lodged in the jail for the second time he has again settled down and is apâ€" parently not suffering from any serious mental trouble. He is being closely observed for a recurrence of his malady, but whether it will be necesâ€" sary to commit him to an asyluim is not definitely decided yet. "An acquaintance of the afflicted man stated this week that he has known him for a number of years, that he is normally a quiet and inâ€" offensive person, who has worked at the mines and in the woods for some years. Earlier this year he was fire ranging and since then has worked at mining." ‘Orillia News Letter:â€"In America the drug habit has mounted with leaps and bounds since prohibition, until now the consumption of narcotics is 60 times as great in proportion to population as in many other civilized countries. A reâ€" cent investigation by the United States Treasury Department brought to light the astonishing fact that the annual consumption of drugs in America is 36 grains for each person, while it is only two grains in Germany, three grains in France and one grain in Italy. ANOTHER OPINION ON THE CRITIGISM OF ROADS HERE Temiskaming Roads Could be Kept Up to Standard Without Much Diffiâ€" culty, Liskeard Spcaker Thinks In ancther column The Advance gives the opinion of The Haileyburian on the Toronto Star‘s recent articles on the Ferguson highway. The Hailâ€" eyburian is inclined to thinks that The Star is overly anxious to find fault with the Ferguson Government and all its the Ferguson Government and all its works, and that as a matter of fact the main roads in the North at the present time are in good condition. The New Liskeard Speaker takes a slightly difâ€" ferent attitude. While admitting that there has been much improvement made in the main roads through the North, and also that The Star has in some instances apparently been infiuâ€" enced materially by the viewpoint of the persons from whom the informaâ€" tion was received, The Speaker thinks that the articles will do good in helpâ€" ing to make Older Ontario understand that the press and citizens of this part of Ontario were quite within their rights in insisting upon better raad conditions in Temiskaming and Cochâ€" rane districts. It may be noted that the attitude of The Haileyburian and The Speaker are not so far apart as they seem at first sight. It is only a few weeks ago since The Haileyburian was adding its voice to the general complaints about the condition of the roads. Since that time, however, there has been very considerable improvement made in the condition of the roads. Some of this improvement has been due to work done, and a considerable part of the betterment, at least up in this end, has resulted from the dry weather. The Haileyburian very naturally is annoyâ€" ed now because criticism of the roads appears to be turning tourist traffic back from the Nortth. Just at the present moment there is not just cause for criticism of the main roads. Cerâ€" tainly any tourist who can stand the ordinary rural roads in Southern Onâ€" tario will find the North Land roads quite good. Motorists quite frankly admit that the roads in the North are much better generally than some of the stretches on the Ferguson highway south of North Bay. One visiting moâ€" torist some days ago put it this way:â€" "You can easily average 25 to 30 miles an hour along the whole Ferguson highway with comfort and safety, and that means the roads have to be good for country roads." One of the troubles with trying to centre public attention on matters that need remedy is the fact that sometimes by the time that some people are acâ€" tively interested in the agitation, their help may actually have injurious efâ€" fect. A couple of months ago the articles by The Star on the bad condiâ€" tions of strips of roadway in the North might have helped stir the authorities to action. Toâ€"day, with the improveâ€" ments made by the weather and auâ€" thorities. the roads are really fairly good, and yet the agitation has the effect of frightening away tourist traiâ€" fic. As The Advance has given elsewhere in this issue the opinion of The Haileyburian, this paper is also pubâ€" lishing the reference by The New Lisâ€" keard Speaker, so that readers may have both sides The New Liskeard Speaker says:â€" "A special reporter from the Toronto Star has but recently made a trip over the Ferguson highway from Severn Bridge to its most Northern point, and in four instalments he has given his experiences throughout the ‘trip toâ€" gether with the impressions he gatherâ€" ed from actual personal contact and from interviews with various classes of the north‘s population. His stories have been interesting and should do much to convince the older part of Ontario that in insisting on better roads throughout the Temiskaming and Cochrans Districts, the press and the citizens of this part of Ontario were fully within their rights. Of course, there were instances where the Star‘s reporter was influenced materially by the viewpoint of the man from whom he received his information, but on the whole we believe he has bsen fairly accurate in the conclusions drawn. Had he arrived in Temiskaming some three weeks earlier than he did his story would have been much harsher on the travelling facilities throughout the "North of the Bay" section of the Ferguson highway and the various township roads in the two upper disâ€" tricts. So far as Temiskaming is conâ€" cetned, there has been an improvement in the main road through the district, but it is still far from being a road over which motorists should be chargâ€" ed an extra 5 cents per gallon for the privilege of using. "The Speaker realizes that the Govâ€" ernment has a big job on its hands in the matter of road work throughout the unorganized districts of the northâ€" ern part of Ontario. We also believe that with a reasonable outlay and conâ€" stant attention the Temiskaming roads could be kept up to standard withâ€" out much difficulty. A "stitch in time saves nine," is an old proverb which is applicable to the roads of the Ferguâ€" son highway and rural sections of this district. "In concluding his fourth instaliment, the Star‘s reporter says:â€"*"The optimâ€" ism of the north is infectious. Taking the increase in traffic on the Severn bridge to Cochrane and Timmins highâ€" <ay during the past two years as a criterion of its forward stride, it will be necessary to make rapid and drasâ€" tic improvements to the Ferguson highway if it is to be able to meet the demands that will be placed on it A trip over the highway in its present THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO {Woman Prospector Finds Lost Cariboo Channel All will be interested in the story by despatches from Quesnel, B.C., in reâ€" gard to the finding of the famous "lost channel" of the Cariboo gold area in British Columbia.

There, in a huge pit gouged out by Mrs. Murphy‘s monitor, Williams was amazed to find the exposed rim of the ancient chanâ€" nel. The exposed bedrock at this point was unfavourable, being smooth and slippery, but there is no question, he says, that the gutter, once it is reachâ€" ed, will prove very rich.

Numerous shafts have been sunk during the past fifty years to deterâ€" mine the channel above that point, but without success.
