Timmins, Canada THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO BELIEVES THAT FOREST EXHAUSTION IS IN SIGHI Frank J. D. Barnjum Insists That Queâ€" bee Authorities are Wrong in Claiming Otherwise. _ Makes Sporting Offer in the Matâ€" ter. Several references have boeen made toâ€"statements by Frank J. D. Barnjum, of Montreal, on the question o° forest depletion, conservation and so cn. It is only a few weeks ago that The Adâ€" vance referred to a reply made to some of Mr. Barnjum‘s opinions by the Queâ€" bec authorities in referring to an adâ€" dress by Sir Geo. Courthope. Mr. Barnjum has his own reply to the reâ€" ply. This reply as given to the press is as follows. Mr. Barnjum writes:â€" "In a recent statement given to the press in reply to Sir George Courâ€" thrope‘s remarks in the British House of Commons, calling attention to the approaching exhaustion of the Empire‘s focrest resources, the Quebec Forest Service says, among other things, the "nrogress is made every year in Queâ€" bec, where more territory has been placed under control, where the cut is limited to the annual increment," and that "as forest conditions in the Proâ€" vince of Quebec now show more growth than many countries of Europe which now yield several hundred board feet per acre annually, there is no. ocâ€" ~casion for alarm on ‘this matter." "The Royal Pulpwood Commission, which in 1924 investigated the pulpâ€" wood supply, visited every province and had access to all provincial and doâ€" minion records, as well as the testiâ€" \mony, advice and opinion of all govâ€" |ernmen* forest officials and of many lumbermen, stated in its report that ‘ Canada is dissipating its woods‘ capital 'at a greater rate than any other naâ€" tion in the world. The Commission ‘eszimated the total available stand of | spruce and fire in the Province of Queâ€" |bec at that time as amcunting to 131,â€" ’000 .000 cords. Consumption alone in the province, without including other means of depletion, was estimated at 3,000.000 cords annually. The same ‘report gave the average minimum loss over a tenâ€"year period during the budâ€" "Webster defines "several" as any number in excess of two. Consequentâ€" 1y the several hundred board feet above re®erred to could not be less than three hundred. It might be more. But asâ€" suming the minimum number as basis, I will make the following sportâ€" ing offer to the Forest Service of Queâ€" becâ€"namely, if they can show me any average licensed pulpwood limit in Quebec where the annual increment over a ten year period has equalied the depletion, or any limit where the anâ€" nual increment amounts to several hundred board feet per acre, I will agree to give up my life work and never mention forest conservation in Canâ€" ada again. (This is a good opportuniâ€" ty to forever silence the only man in Canada who seems willing to tell the people the full story of Canada‘s deâ€" plorable forest situation). "If the Forest Service proves right in its contention, I will further agree to bear the entire expense of an exaâ€" mination of the limits; if I prove right the Forest Service to pay the bills; the experts making the investigation to be mutually agreed upon. "If "Quebec has enormous resources" and if there is "no occasion for alarm," why is America looking toward northâ€" ern Russia for a wood supply? Why are we cutting such large quantities of small immature trees four and five imches in diameter (which fact alone proves the wood shortage in now here) ? Why are we spending large sums of money in the impossible task of tryâ€" ing to provide raw material for our vast pulp and paper industry by »lantâ€" ing tiny seedlings? worm enpidemic and through fungi, it is impossible to determine, but there is every evidence that they are considerâ€" able." "The Dominion Forest Service states that four and oneâ€"half cords of have been destroyed in the past for every cord utilized, indicating, that if use and destruction continue at the "The statement was made before the Canadian Forestry Association at Oâ€" tawa by Mr. Thomas Maher, well known Consulting Forest Enginesr of Quebec, that he had cruised twer‘yâ€" five per cent. of all the leased limits in the Province of Quebec during the past twelve years and that the result of this exhaustive survey "showed that out of a total eighty thousand one hundred and eightyâ€"sight square miles of leased limits in Quebec, sixtyâ€"five per cent. of all these lands contain no» timber," and that, without any allowance for the large losses continuwally being sufâ€" fered through fire, insects, disease and wind" the forest industries will have cut the last cord of commercial wood leased grounds in twentyâ€"seven "No one can contribute pessimism to } me in this matter, as these are not j my figures at all, but on the contrary are all government statistics or figures furnished by experts employed by the governments. e the case unless something is done 3 change the situation) we are, accordâ€" ing to all of the above figures, conâ€" ronted with the practical exhaustiâ€"cn f our commercially available wood supply within the very brief period of beatween six and seven years. *"I have just received a letter from a prominent American forester who says: "I have been cruising timber tracts in Canada for the past thirty years and my experience regardins timber conditions is in perfect harmony with yours." Another Canadian forest auâ€" thority writes "Our critical forest situâ€" ation cannot be exaggerated." "And in the face of all this expert testimony and these indisputable statisâ€" tics the Quebec Forest Service says there is "no cause for alarm." VARIETY OF USES FOR THE VERSATILE ELECTRIC FAN (From the CN.P.C. Review) In many northern localities the lecâ€" tric fan is put away in moth balls for the winter moniths. The electric fan may not be as valuable in winter as in the summer, but there are many days when the fan can be used in winter, and this holds true of any part of the country. The electric fan has many winter uses. It will, for example: Dry wet shoes and stockings quickly; cool fresh cakes and pies; dehydrate vegeâ€" tables and fruits for preserving; reâ€" move dampness from clothes after waching; ventilate stuffy recoms, blow air into closets to prevent dampness and moths; hasten drying of new paint on furniture or doors; dry hair after washâ€" ing and dry kodak films. ‘And when the sun comes back again And melts this snow to waterâ€" May roses bloom continuously, For you and your motherâ€"inâ€"law‘s JACK MINER SENDS UNIQUE SORT OF CHRISTMAS CARD One of â€"the most criginal forms of Christmas gresting card received this year, and for many a year, came last week to The Advance from Priend Jack Miner, the notsd nature lover. The card is attractive, but nost ornate. It is the form of a fourâ€"page folder. On the front is Jack Miner‘s monogram with words:â€""Merry Christmas. FProm Jack Miner, Kingsville, Ontario." The "Merry Christms" is in Old English type, while the other words are facâ€" simile of Jack Miner‘s writing. On the centre pages are pictures of the Minâ€" er home at Kingsville. The one scene is a winter scene, with snow and ice in evidence. The other shows Mr. and Mrs. Miner standing in front of a wonderful bower of roses in their garâ€" den. Beneath the pictures are these daughter. On the back of the card is Jack Minâ€" er‘s Twentyâ€"third psalm, as taken from a new book he is writing:â€" The Lord is my Guide and Teacher; I will not get lost: He makes my heart a receiving staâ€" tion for His wireless: He sits down beside me in the pathâ€" less woods and. opens up His book of knowledge. He turns the leaves very slowly that my dimmed eyss may read His meanâ€" ing. He makes the trees I plant to grow, and fiowers to arch my path with their fragrant beauty, gives me dominion over the fowls of the air and they honk and sing their way from my home. Yea, He has brought me up from a barefooted underprivileged boy to a man respected by millions of people, and I give Him all the credit and praise whenever, wherever and forever. Early in the new year, and following an eightâ€" day Yuletide Festival at the Empress Hotel, the same hostelry will be the scene under Canadian Pacific Railway auspices of a Sea Music Festival, January 15â€"18, at which British and Canadian sea chanteys will be featured. Among the more outâ€" standing will be the ballad operas, "The Order of Good Cheer", incorporating old French sea songs of the period of Champlain; "Béound for the Rio Grande", an opera filled with many favorite sea chanteys; and a fisherfolk play written by Ethel Bassin, "At A Lews Fishing." Fine voices, firstâ€" class choirs, some of them from the United States, others native, and excellent instrumental effects Escaping Winter at Victoria SMALL POTATOES MAY HELP TO DEVELOP BIG BIRD®S A note from the Ontario Department of Agriculture says that small unmerâ€" chantable potatoes may very profitably be fed to poultry. An experiment to compare boiled potatoes with corn meal in the laying mash showed that the potatoâ€"fed pens did even better than when corn meal was used. Each group was fed a scratch mixture of two parts of cracked corn, two parts wheat, and one part oats. One group received a dry mash containing equal parts of corn meal, wheat bran, wheat midâ€" dlings, and crushed oats. The other group received a moist mash consistâ€" ing of equal parts of wheat bran, wheat middlings and crushed oats nfixed with boiled potatoes. The proportions fed were two parts potatoes and one part Each group received charcoal grit, milk, green feed and water. Both egg production and hatching results showed an advantage in the case of the potatoâ€"fed poultry. Tony Kostuk, 39 years of ago, and h‘s common law wife, Mary Lydik, 36, both suffering from gunshot wounds are in the Sudbury hospital as a result of a Sunday night quarrel at the boarding house kept by the woman. Both are expected to recover but it will be a close shave in each case. Kostuk is said to have shot the woman twice with a 38â€" calibre revolver and turned the gun on himself when cornered by the police, the bullet passing close to his heart. SUDBURY MAN AND WOMAN WOUNDED BY GUN SHOTS The woman was wounded in the abdoâ€" men and in the shoulder. Kostuk fied from the house after shooting the woâ€" man, but was sighted by police who gave Cchase. When he saw he was goâ€" ing to be captured Kotuk turned the on himself. The pair are said to have quarrelled considerably, perhaps beâ€" cause the man did not like work. Kostuk told the police that there was another man in the case, a star boardâ€" er at the woman‘s place of whom Kosâ€" tuk was jealous. Kostuk intended to shoot this fellew at the time he the woman, but the boarder hid in a bed room belhind a locked and bolted door. Of the three children at the house, Kostuk is said to have admitted being the father of two. The polics say that Kostuk has not been their ideal of a perfect husbhand. A couple of weeks before the shociing he had been in court on a charg> o" threatenâ€" ing the woman. About a year ago he attacked the woman with a pitchfork and she was under medical care for a long time as a result.

FOUNDED 1904 D. E., the town was just commencing to find itself after the great fire disâ€" aster, and there was no accommodation lfor the sick outside of that of the priâ€" | vate homes. As over half of the homes | | had also been destroyed, there would have been much greater suffering and greater expense in the care of the sick, had the Red Cross and the I. O. D. E. not come to the aid of the town. The latter organization procured the buildâ€" ing and has taken an active interest in the hospital ever since. The Red Cross came in and has carried on their wellâ€"known good work for the benefit of suffering humanity, in spite of diffiâ€" culties that are not readily apparent to the outsider. That the town of Hailleybury is thankful to both organiâ€" zations for their good work goes withâ€" out saying. It has been a great benefit to Haileybury people to have had the small hospital and although we are now nearing the time when there will a larger and better institution, we Haileybury Hospital Taken Over by Sisters The Haileybury Red Cross Qutpost hospital has been taken over by the Sisters of Mercy. In its last week‘s issue The Haileyburian makes the folâ€" lowing reference to the matter:â€" ‘"‘The Red Cross Outpost Hospital which has been operated in Haileybury since shortly after the big fire which destroyed the greater part of the town in 1922, has been taken over by the Sisters of Mercy, who are at present erecting a large and upâ€"toâ€"date hospital on the site of the one destroyed in the fire. The transfer was made yesterday, the Sisters assuming charge and two of the Red Cross nurses will remain on the staff for the present. The arrangeâ€" ment has been talked of for some time and it is the intention of the Sisters to carry on in the smaller building until the new one is completed, which will be early next summer. "During the years that the Red Cross has operated the hospital here it has proved a great boon for the town and surrounding district. At the time of its establishment, which was consummated largely through the efforts of the I. O. will not soon forget the organizations that came to our relief in the hour of distress. The I. O. D. E., we have atâ€" ways with us; the Red Cross will ever have a warm place in the hearts of the people of Haileybury." J. W.
