Timmins, Ont. Breeding Grounds of Deer and Other Game Now Infested by Killers Says Writer in Forest and Outdoors. NEED FOR AGTION TO STOP THE MENAGE OF WOLVES E. J. McHarg, writing in The Canaâ€" dian Forest and Outdoors this month Ssays:â€" "I have read in your magazine, and others, several comments on the ravâ€" ages of wolves, not only in Algonquin Park, but in the Laurentian Mountains in Quebec, and elsewhere in Northern Ontario, and am very much in symâ€" pathy with those who are doing their utmost, in so far as they may, to get rid of the menace. Some of our writâ€" ers seem to treat this matter in the light that we have always had wolves and that they are no more plentiful toâ€"day than in days gone by. They seem to believe that the means taken at present are sufficient to ksep the wolves in check, but on the contrary, they are on the increase, while game, especially deer and partridge, are deâ€" creasing at an alarming rate. La Presse "The figures and comments contained in the annual report of the Quebec Liquor Commission indicate not only that business as judged by income, was more prosperous last year than ever before, but they establish in a convincing manner that our people made a certain step towards true temâ€" peranceâ€"that is to say, toward the obâ€" ject aimed at by the Taschereau Govâ€" ernment when it decided some eight years ago to adopt policy of Governâ€" mentâ€"control of the sale of intoxicatâ€" ing liquors. The proof of this progress is both positive and negative. It is positive in the sense that there is shown to be increase in the consumption of light wines in the province. The negaâ€" tive proof is to be found in a marked decline in the sale of ‘hard‘ liquors. It is to be hoped that this condition of things will continue and that the peoâ€" ple of Quebec will practice more and more true temperance." "Of late years, I have had a great deal of travelling to do in the woods of this beautiful Park of ours, and know whereof I speak. I have seen, in one day, the remains of seven deer, parâ€" tially devoured, which had been slaughâ€" tered by wolves in the Park. I have counted, within one week, in an area of from ten to fiftten miles, no less than three separate packs of wolves, containing, three, five and seven wolves. I am told, by old hunters, that it takes from fifteen to twentyâ€"five deer to feed one wolf during the winter season, when, due to the deep snow, the deer is less able to evade its enemy. I thorcughly believe this. It would seem, therefore, that the fifteen wolves I have mentioned would make away with the astounding total of three hundred deer during the winter, in addition to the fawns destroyed before as well as after they are born. "When I hear the wolves howling across the lake, and know what is going on there, I lose patience with the Park Rangers, and often speak to them about their apparent apathy to the conditions that exist. They assure me, however, that they are making full use of all the means at their disposal to deal with the situation, and as they are smart and intelligent men it would seem that the method, and not the men, must be at fault. Possibly, they have other duâ€" ties to perform, which might prevent them from embarking on regular hunt for the wolf, or from attending line of traps or snares. "I have once or twice been asked what I should do, had I control of the matter. My suggestion is simpleâ€"I would raise the bounty to forty, or even fifty dollars, for every wolf killed; supâ€" ply snare wire and special traps to all Park Rangers, and encourage everybody outside the Park organization to get interested in the game of destroying the pest. But what, you may ask, about the wolves that would be caught over the Ottawa River, in the province of Quebec? Would these not be brought across the provincial border,, so that the larger bounty might be collected? Let the provinces coâ€"operate in the matter. Make the bounty equal in all three provinces of Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. I know that we have not the deer in the Park toâ€"day compared with the numbers of five years ago, and the reason is the increase of wolves." Along with this letter The Canadian Forestry and Outdoors gives the followâ€" ing paragraph: "Editor‘s Noteâ€"The question of the wolf menance in the Algonquin region has been repeatedly raised by settlers in the vicinity of the Park, where conâ€" siderable stock has fallen prey to the increased overflow of wolves from the Park. QOur American cousins are anxious to engage in winter wolf shootâ€" ing ‘expeditions in the Park and we wonder WHY NOT?# Here is another attraction for the tourist which might eventually take care of the wolf menace and provide a revenue as well." "I have questioned the Park Rangers as to why something worth while is not done to offset this terrible slaughter, and they say that they are not allowed to put out poison, but may trap, snare or shoot them. They would have to furnish their own traps and snare wire, all of which costs money. In the disâ€" trict which I frequent, I have not heard of more than eight or ten being caught in a season, whereas one healthy she wolf"can bring forth a litter of from six to nine every spring. In the Park, only Rangers are permitted to trap or shoot them. Now, the wolf is a very wary and cunning animal, and in the way of avoiding man and his devices to trap or snare them, Granny Fox is not in it at all with him. It is fairly easy to trap a fox, but not so with the wolf. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "I‘m a World War veteran and served overseas for three and a half years with the 58th Battalion of Canadian inâ€" fantry. I was wounded and gassed in action, and have been a sick man ever Sudbury Starâ€"Henry Ford says woâ€" men‘s place is in the home. But her refusal to stay there has appreciably increased the demand for Henry‘s proâ€" duct. since I came out of the service. I spent many a hardâ€"earned dollar trying to get back my health, but I don‘t believe I ever would have gotten back my health if a friend of mine in Minneaâ€" polis hadn‘t started me on this new Sargon medicine by sending me two bottles "The ‘gas‘ I got overseas had just about shot my system to pieces. Many a day IT‘d get so weak and nervous T‘d just have to quit work and go home. Indigestion and constipation were alâ€" ways giving me trouble, in spite of the laxatives and medicines I took almost every night, and sometimes bad dizzy spells would come over me. I couldn‘t sleep good; kept losing weight steadily and became mighty discouraged over my condition. "I also took the Sargon Soft Mass Pills and they‘re a valuable part of the treatment. They don‘t upset me at all and got my bowels regulated so good that I hardly ever have to take them any more. "My wife has now started the treatâ€" ment and is already looking lots better. I‘ve recommended it to any number of my friends and I haven‘t heard of anyâ€" body yet that Sargon didn‘t help. I‘m always glad to talk to those who want to ask me about this great medicine." The above straighforward statement was made recently by William Corâ€" mack, well known contractor of 537 McRoberts avenue, Toronto. "George H. Alexander was sentenced by Judge A. Tessier, at Amos, to serve one year on a conviction of theft, and and six months each on two charges of conspiracy, the sentences to run conâ€" currently. The crown‘s case involved the charge that between March 20 and June 1 of last year Alexander conspired with certain parties in Toronto to proâ€" cure information concerning the sampâ€" ling, assaying and smelting of ore shipâ€" ments from Waiteâ€"Ackermanâ€"Montâ€" gomery Mines to Noranda Mines. As a minority interest in Waiteâ€"Ackermanâ€" Montgomery secured considerable pubâ€" licity through efforts to stir up dissafâ€" fection over the manner in which Norâ€" anda was conducting affairs at its subâ€" sidiary, and because of the reflection which the charges threw upon the inâ€" tegrity of Noranda officers the case aâ€" roused wide interest in the North. Both Judge Tessier and Alleyn Taschâ€" ereau, K.C., Alexander‘s counsel in their addresses to the jury stated that the administration or Noranda was above suspicion. The outcome of the case is looked upon as a complete vindicaâ€" tion for Noranda. Alexander was statâ€", ed to have arranged with unknown parties to go to Noranda and to have there induced three of that company‘s employees, by offering them $5,000 worth of Waite stock, to abstract and bring to him assay sheets, weight tickâ€" ets and other records. In a series of reports addressed to the unknown conâ€" spirators in Toronto it was charged that Alexander attempted to show that Horne Copper Corporation, the Norâ€" anda operating company, had been syâ€" stematically "low grading" Waiteâ€"Ackâ€" ermanâ€"Montgomery ore shipments with a view to depressing the value of the hoaldings of the minority shareholders. The Crown was represented by R. L. Calder, K. C." "I noticed such a big improvement afâ€" ter those two first bottles of Sargon my friend sent me, that when I found out I could get this new medicine in Toâ€" ronto, I went down to Tamblyn‘s Drug Store and bought two more bottles. I feel like a new man now and my weight has increased from 140 to 150 pounds! My whole system is strengthened and toned up, and I can eat anything that‘s put before me without having a sign cf indigestion or dizziness afterwards. I‘m not nervous either but sleep good every night and my work is a real pleasure. Instead of being ‘fagged out‘ at the end of the day, I feel just about as fresh and fit as when I started. Sargon may be obtained in Timmins at the Goldfield Drug Store. CONVICTED OF STEALING INFORMATION ABOUT MINES In reference to the recent case at Amos, Quebec, where Geo. H. Alexandâ€" er was charged with conspiracy and theft of information, the case arising from the alleged theft of information and papers fro ma mine, The Northern Miner last week saysâ€" WILLIAM CORMACK Four schools on wheels now furnish means whereby a number of children living in northern Ontario at points scattered along the lines of the two transcontinental railway systems are enabled to acquire some education says The Toronto Mail and Empire. These cars are in service along about 600 miles of railway. A fifth car, it is announced, is under construction in the Canadian National railway shop:s in Winnipeg and will be put to use this spring on that railway‘s line beâ€" twen Sioux Lookout and the Manitoba boundary. Still another car, it is said, sould be utilized next autumn. Constructing Another School House on Wheels These cars have been provided, by coâ€" speration between the Ontario departâ€". ment of education and the railways, to meet a need for elementary educaâ€" tion in sparselyâ€"settled tracts of terriâ€" tory. The department of education, as its head has explained, found that orâ€" dinary schools could deal only with reâ€" gular conditions of settlement. Twoâ€" thirds of Northern Ontario are for the present unorganized and a large porâ€" tion unsurveyed. In these parts rural settlement is, therefore, sparse and not continuous. This is especially true along cortain sections of the lines of railway in that section of the province. Rightâ€"ofâ€"way groups of workmen and others form small scattered settlements. The ‘populations of these little settleâ€" ments are to some extent shifting and unstable and the number of available pupils at any one spot are few. For these reasons the department of educaâ€" tion concluded that to meet the need for educational facilitiee along the northern railway lines some more elasâ€" tic service than the fixed school was required. The schools on wheels, it is asserted, have solved the problem. Each of these cars is divided into two portions, one of which is fitted up for use as a schoolâ€"room and the other as living quarters for the teacher. The car is moved from place to place on a certain section of railway. At each place at which the car stops the teacher imparts instruction to pupils and sets tasks for them to do while the car is elsewhere. There will be at least 20 amendments necessary to correlate the various proâ€" vincial security frauds prevention acts. They will include regulations for exâ€" changes aimed at the elimination of bucketing and illegal short selling. With the exception of New Brunsâ€" wick, all the provinces will operate unâ€" der some sort of uniform restrictive legislation, but from British Columbia, and the west, to Ontario, on the east the same regulations will apply, Colonel Price said. Quebec, he said, of necessity would adopt slightly different regulations beâ€" cause of the difference in its civil law. Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, while not represented at the conference would adopt the recommendations of the conference. New Brunswick was not represented. Coach and Manager Gave Much to Timmins Juniors The travelling schools and their teaâ€" chers are accomplishing useful service. They are enabling a considerable numâ€" ber of children to receive instruction that they would otherwise be denied. Furthermore, the school cars are atâ€" tracting not only children, but the parâ€" ents of the children and other adults. They have become, the minister of eduâ€" cation reported lately, real social cenâ€" tres during their periodical visits in isolated settlements and have helped adults, as well as children, of nonâ€"Briâ€" tish races to acquire a knowledge of the English language and of Canadian ideals and citizenship. That being the case, the school cars are making posâ€" sible service that is not only beneficial to individuals living in remote parts of Ontario, but is also advantageous to the country as a whole. This week The Advance received a letter from a very ardent hockey fan who believes that special praise should be given at this time to the coach, Mr. Harry Boyd, and to the manager, Mr. P. T. Moisley, for the interest and efâ€" fort given to the Timmins Juniors. This hockey fan believes that if the ccach had received the right coâ€"operaâ€" tion from the team the result might have been much better. This is someâ€" thing for the hockey boys to remember next season. The letter referred to reads as follows:â€" Resulting from the conference of reâ€" presentatives of the Canadian attorâ€" neysâ€"general, five of the provinces will adcpt uniform regulation for brokerage houses and stock exchanges, Col. W. H. Price, Attorneyâ€"General for Ontario, anncunced at the close of last Thursâ€" day‘s session. Also, great praise should be given to Mr. Percy Moisley in trying to give the town a winning team and for the inâ€" terest he shows in the boys‘ activities of the town. Uniform Laws in Five Provinces for Exchanges The Editor, The Advance, Timmins. Dear Sir:â€"Now that the Timmins Juniors are eliminated from the playâ€" offs and putting up game effort, the usual comments are heard regarding the coach, etc. Great credit should be given to Mr. Harry Boyd for the time and interest he has taken with the boys this winâ€" ter. Wishing the Falls‘ Juniors luck in the playâ€"ofis. I believe the whole trouble was lack of coâ€"operation with the coach. Timmins, Ont., Feb. 16th, 1830 Yours truly, SPORT FAN Another Big Event by Central Public School Many will recall that the pupils of the Central public school last year preâ€" sented a concert of remarkable interest and excellence. The event attracted so large an attendance that an extra evening had to be given to the event to allow all the opportunity of hearing, it, the school hall being crowded to capacity on each occasion. Those who enjoyed this event last year will be nleased to see by the announcement in The Advance last week that on Thursâ€" jlay and Friday evenings of next week, Fob. 27th and 28th, the Central public ichool pupils are giving another fine avent. The feature for next week is to be a ‘"Pageant of Canadian History." By choruses, readings, dialogues and :ostumes, the scenes depicting the various features of Canada‘s history are to be presented. The story of the Inâ€" dians, the French explorers, the early French pioneers, the first parliament, the United Empire Loyalists, the great men in Canada‘s history and indicaâ€" tions of Canada‘s development and commercial and industrial life will be shown. Those who enjoyed the conâ€" cert last year are not likely to miss the event next week. Last November the concert was preâ€" sented with the purpose of purchasing an orthophonic gramophone for the use of the school. The coming event is planned for the securing of a lantern for the school for the projection of the educational pictures on cards, cutâ€"outs, slides and films in connection with the teaching of geography, history, nature study, hygiene and safety first in the various classes of the school. _ Slides and films, specially prepared for use in the classroom, may be obtained without charge from the various departments of the Government, so the first cost of the lantern practically covers all the exâ€" pense in the matter. For the event next week, Thursday and Friday evenings, Feb. 27th and 28th tickets are being sold at the very popuâ€" lar price of 25¢ for adults and 15¢ for children, with the privilegee of these tickets being exchanged at the school office for reserved seats upon payment of an additional ten cents. There should be a particularly large attenâ€" dance each evening for the "Pageant of Canadian History." Kimberley, B.C.
