N. 0. conductor. Belâ€" anger was formerly a resident of the Guigas section in Quebec. The case came before Magistrate Tucker who found the accused guilty on the charge laid after considerable evidence had been heard. Belanger was accused of having struck C. Spence, conductor of Given Three Months for Attack on Conductor Some days ago Joseph Belanger_. an fréight. train running out from "ZIG~ZAG Bookattached to every package 215 Iroquois Falls, a stone be.;m.g use_d.as the weapon and the conductor being rendered unconscious for a time. Belâ€" anger pleaded not guilty. In his story to the court he admitted that he had been drinking and did not remember very much about the details of the cirâ€" cumstances of the incident upon which he was accused. According to the eviâ€" dence given against Belanger, he had attempted to board the freight train at Onagan, on the Iroquois Falls branch of the T. N. O., when the freight stopped there to allow another train to pass. He was put off the freight and | is alleged to have gathered some stones and got on the train again. He was put off the second time after the train had been stopped for this purp3se.. After being put off this time he threw }stones through the caboose windows, according to the evidence, but fortunâ€" ately no one was injured though there was damage in the way of broken glass. Eventually the train reached Porquis Junction and it would appear that Belâ€" anger had walked the comparately short distance to the Junction and made just about as good time as the freight train, the man not having to do any shunting or backing up or side switching. In any case Belanger apâ€" pears to have found the conductor in the station and made on unexpected attack upon him, felling him with a stone. The stone struck the conducâ€" tor just above the temple and rendered him unconscious for a time. The conâ€" ductor, however, was lucky enough to escape serious injury. Belanger boardâ€" ed the Timmins train at Porquis Juncâ€" tion but was recognized as the assailâ€" ant of the conductor and was taken in charge before the train reached Timâ€" mins and returned to stand trail. Edmonton Journal:â€"There is a postâ€" al department regulation which says thit when letter carriers are menaced by dogs, either the dogs must g0 or the mail delivery will be cut off, The ruling has just recently been put into effect in Ottawa, where a certain genâ€" tleman‘s dog attacked a postman. The postmasterâ€"general, appealed to, refusâ€" ed to override the departmental ruling. So Mr. Ottawa man‘s dog will have to go or he will get no letters at his home. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO FERGUSON HIGHWAY SHOULD BE ON TRANSâ€"CANADA ROUTE Only Three Links Now Needed to Comâ€" References recently to the Transâ€" | Canada highway have brought out the | statement that there are only three links now missing in the national highâ€" way designed to bridge this Dominion‘ from coast to coat. The three gaps quoted are:â€"north of Lake Superior, in Rainy River district, and through the Rocky Mountains. These three gaps may be reduced to only two by the use of the Ferguson highway as part of the, national automobile road routs from the Atlantic to the Pacific, all on Canadian soil. The extension of the Ferguson highway to meet the road system of Manitoba would mean the bridging of two of the three gaps reâ€" 'ferred to as this extension would leave only the Rocky Mountain road to comâ€" \plete the span of the whole Dominion. The Ferguson highway travels through a most interesting and picturesque iscction of countryâ€"one that may be l safely said to make especial appea! to tourists and other travellers. The Ferâ€" guson highways passes through gold camps, silver camps near at least one nickel mine at present, and throogh a remarkably rich timber section as well as along good farming country. Fish and game may be added to the atâ€" tractions of the route, while the scenâ€" ery is superbh. The traveller using the Ferguson highway for the first time is usually fairly voluable in his enthusiâ€" asm about the lakes and other features that make the landscape picturesque along the route. It should be rememâ€" bered that the Ferguson highway, if taken as part of the Transâ€"Canada highway, would be a section on which the Domminton Government has made nd expanditure or contribution, It would appear that the Transâ€"Canaâ€" da highway being so broadly national in its purpose should be fully supportâ€" led by the Dominion Government and consequently it would seem that the Dominion should contribute to the cost of this section of the route across the Dominion. When the Dominion was making grants to highways in the l province the North Land was not beneâ€" fitted directly, all the roads here be‘ng. under the Northern Development deâ€" partment of the province of Ontario and so not coming under the plan unâ€" 1000 Oe OO OO 0000 OO l in :. ie n e ns uen esns on ho sns der which other highways were conâ€" structed and in which the Dominion assisted in defraying the cost. The Ferguson highway was built by the province altegether at Ontario‘s exâ€" pense and without any assistance from the Dominion such as was given in the case of other highways. The Ferguson highway is now through to Kapuskasing and will likeâ€" ly be connected up to Hearst before very long. From Hearst it would be necessary to bulild to Dryden after which the Ontario road system would connect up with the Manitoba road and the Tramnsâ€"Canada highway would acâ€" cordingly be complete then right through to the Rocky Mcuntains. | plete National Highway and Nerth Land Highway Should be Used The route through this North Land is miuch to be preferred to the alternate route along the north shore of Lake Superior. The north shore route would be one that would be costly to buila and would be of no particular value to the locality through which it would pass. The country, according to all aczcounts is not suitable for settlement. If the Transâ€"Canada highway goes by that route it will be case of building the road only for the purpose of a comâ€" to Bridge one Gap. Sault District Suffers From Big Black Wolves The black wolves of BHatchawan@ are believed to have originated from a huge Newfoundland dog, lost some five years ago by an Indian of the area. The dog was never seen again, but later black wolves were seen in the region, larger and more couragous than any seen there before. It is believed that the dos joined the wolf pack and it is his prozeny that now haunts the Batchaâ€" wana wilds, doing great destruction to deer and moose anrd causing some nervousness among the scattered popuâ€" lation. Game is scarce in the area and but recently the carcasses of five large moose were found in the bush there. Wolves as a rule do not attack moose. plote Canadian highway. On the other hand the route through the North Land would serve a local purpose. The Feorâ€" guson highway is already built to serve local nseds, and the same local nseds are urging the extension to the West. All along the route are settlers and settiements to be served by ithis througn road. Writing some days ago on the Transâ€" Canada highway a Toronto writer says: "It will be late next year bafore the Transâ€"Canada highway taps what is believed to be Eastern Canada‘s most rugged scenery. Pushing north from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the road is almost on the edge of the canyons and semiâ€" mountains of northern Algoma. The Algoma Central Raillway alone taps this territory at present and few tourists and almost as few Canadians have discovered its rugged beauty. It was this section of Algoma and the ‘northern shore of Lake Supesior that almost halted the Canadian PaciSc fiity years ago in its attempt to span the dominion with steel. The hills are solid rock and in the rock is low grade iron ore, millions of tons of it, waiting Ifor development. Difficuities ahead in this section have caused some agitation to change the route and have the road go straight north along the Ferguson highway to Cochrane and then west, following the National Transcontinenâ€" tal Railway. The cost of this route would be less, but the scenic grandeur of Algoma would be lost." ! | Kirkland Lake, Nov. 18th, 1929â€"Deâ€" lvelopmen* work at the Lake Shore ‘mines is materially adding to the proâ€" perty‘s known ore reserves. In recent Iwork approximately 500 of higznâ€" igrade core has been cpened up on the north vein west of the sha‘t on th: '2000-¢o:n level, according to in‘ormaâ€" 't.lcn just received. The vein has beey uncovered for a distance of abosu!l 1,â€" 400 feet on the 1,809â€"{00t level and thi: In reply to this paragraph it may be weli to quote another paragraph fronm the same writer, who says:â€""In the North it is still possible to almost forâ€" get hot dozg stands. Forty miles be« tween gas stations is not uncommon. But there are beautiful lakes every few miles and stretches of giant red pine border the highway. It is the ideal land for the motor camper. Forest rangzers are clearing camps at convenâ€" ient spots on the Transâ€"Canada and have already cleared scores of sites on the Fergusen highway through the Temagami reserve." As the writer admits the Ferguson hishway route is already admitted to be the ideal land for the camper. Its scenery is simply wonderful in its charm and variety. There is nothing in Algoma that can excel it for charm. It is true that Algcoma has some hignâ€" er hills than the Ferguson highway route can boast, but it is difficult to see the special advantage in these hills. They have a sameness that adds no atâ€" traction for the tourists or others. In British Columbia the Cariboo Trail has passed through one range of mountains, but the main Rockies reâ€" main to be crossed. In the meantime it would appear that all possible inâ€" fluence might well be brought to bear on the Dominicn Government to enâ€" courage the choics of the Ferguson highway and extensions as the logical route for part of the Transâ€"Canada highway.
