North Bay Nuggetâ€"A former deâ€" partment store salesman in United States has been made a judge. Now we can expect to hear of somebody being fined $2.99. Ontario leads in number of pensionâ€" ers with 19,300; Manitoba is next with 4,891; British Columbia has 4,407; Baskatchewan, 4,335, and Alberta, 1,517. When old age pensions were first proâ€" posed in Canada some people wondered why Ontario had so much to say about the proposal. In answer to this it was pointed out that on account of the Dominion treasury, the matter was of very special importance to this proâ€" vince. If the Dominion had taken over the whole payment of old age pensions Ontario would have had to pay more than half of the total cost. Under the method adopted of requiring the proâ€" vinces to pay part Ontario still is the chief supporter of the old age pensions money. There were 34,450 persons in Canada recelving old age pensions on Dec. 31st, 1929, according to figures isâ€" sued by the Dominion Department of Labour last week, It was pointed out these pensioners do not include aged persons from the provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, which have not yet adâ€" opted the old age pension scheme.

All government stations have an arâ€" rangement with the Canadian National Telegraphs to act as their agents. Expense of construction and mainâ€" tenance will pe met, to a considerable extent, as in the past, by revenue from the transmission of private messages. Two of the stations definitely have been allocated to the Lake Nipigon area, and two others to the Red Lake district. Allocations of the other six stations have not been settled. When the 10 are completed, it will mean that the Ontario Government will have 28 stations in operation. Construction of 10 new continuous wave stations in Northern Ontario, was announced by the Forestry Department last week at Toronto. As soon as weather conditions permit, they will be built and placed in immediate operâ€" ation, as further safeguards against forest fires.

"Last week Haileybury had an aerial visitor from Hamilton, Ont., who fiew | up to look over the possibilities of esâ€" _ tablishing a commercial flying route O18" Ontario Yight through to James Bay. The Haileyburian states that he came on farther North to visit other centres before deciding on his plans. The editor of The Northern Tribune knows from personal corresâ€" pondence that other experienced fliers have given thought to these possibiliâ€" ties, and there is good ground for !thinking that very soon a service will be inaugurated. Until such time as the C.N.R. build a branch line up from | Foleyet to Kapuskasing, there seems to | be an excellent opening for a flight! service between these points, and it is ; also the logical crowâ€"line for a regular service up from Toronto to James Bay, | via Sudbury and Remi Lake, which are [ both flying bases. If some enterprisâ€" ing aviator would pick up mail and light express, etc., at Foleyet at 11 a.m. from the Torontoâ€"Winnipeg flier, we would have mail matter in Kapuskasing Just after the noon whistle instead of having to wait till next morning for it. There are going to be many interested persons eager to see Moose Harbour this summer, now that the railroad extenâ€" sion is booked to reach there, and they would gladly avail themselves of such a service from Toronto. They could leave the Queen City after a comfortâ€" able breakfast and be at Moose Harâ€" bour early in the afternoon. With a little encouragement, tourists would also be attracted to take such a trip in numbers. A pleasant stopâ€"over at Kaâ€" puskasingâ€"a â€" halfâ€"hour‘s ride from Remi Lakeâ€"â€"would appeal to some of them. Once the aerial pathways are blazed, the rest is easy. Pilots become accustomed to every configuration below them, and travel becomes safer and speedier." on en nc« e mm smm 2222202000 | In these days of wonderful inventions and material progress along lines that only a few years ago would have been considered impossible, it is not well to question the feasibility of even the most optimistic plans. This may be conâ€" sidered as especially true of air serâ€" vices. Who would have thought ten years ago that the airship would beâ€" come a vital factor in the work of the prospector? Who would have believed ten years ago that radio communicaâ€" tion would be a common matter to comâ€" munities in even arctic circles? There may be some who may think that thel editor of The Northern Tribune has especially large visions when he conâ€" siders air services to supply quicker mail for Kapuskasing and to give trans-l portation to passengers from Toronto to Moose Factory. The remarkable strides made in communication in various ways during the past few years do not argue for any disregard of plans even as ambitious as those proposed in a recent issue of The Northern Tribune.

Last year in referâ€" ring to the event, The Advance reâ€" viewed public opinion in general in this particular as follows:â€""Every year there has been discussion about the date. This year is no exception to this rule. There are at present many who think that March 6th is too far adâ€" vanced a time for the race. Many think that February should always see the race run, while some others favour even as early a date as January. In | 1927 the date was set for March 16th, : but the weaker broke and it was not i possible to run the race without danger | of abuse to the dogs. Those with dogs 'that they value did not want to have ‘he race. As a result of the weather 1927 was the only year since the incepâ€" tion of the feature in 1916 that the event was not procgeded with. On the other hand the very first race was held as late as March 25th. It was postâ€" poned from earlier dates for one cause or another and eventually was proceedâ€" ed with on March 25th, when it was deâ€" cided that no year should thereafter be allowed to pass without the Porcuâ€" pine Dog Race. In 1921 the big race was held on March 16th and proved very pleasing and successful on that date. A glance at the list below will indicate that only in one yearâ€"19193â€" has the race been held in February. It is true that the climate and condiâ€" tions appear to be changing in this country, and the general opinion is that it would be well to arrange to have the Porcupine Dog Race in Febâ€" ruary each year. While all the various years have seen success attained by the event, there is the general feeling that success would be easier to attain and more assured if a February date were usually selected." i * Wnn iefi es Nee on Nesmmc n mm mm wam omm 2222 2020200000 The dates, winners, times made, and number of entries for each year‘s race are as follows:â€" March 10th, 1928â€"S. Pancoff, 1 hour In reference to the above it may be said that this year the event is being held mighty close to February, with the date being March lst. Unless it is necessary to change the date, the 1930 event may be classed as practically a February affair. This year the event is to be held on Saturday of next week, March ist. This date was decided upon at a meetâ€" ing on Saturday afternoon last when fifteen or twenty interested in the race gathered to discuss the 1930 event and to make plans and arrangements for as it was in the earlier years of the camp, when, apart from hockey, it was considered the big event of the winter sport season, still even toâ€"day there are many who look upon it as an outâ€" standing event and who are anxious for all possible details in regard to the feature this year and in years past. Each year as the date for the Porâ€" cupine Dog Race is announced there seems to be a renewal of interest in the results of the previous years and a deâ€" sire to have a review of the dates, enâ€" tries and the winners of the contests in past years. While the general inâ€" terest in the Dog Race is not as great Fifteenth Annual Dog Race Now scheduled to be Held at Timmins on Saturday of Next Week, March Ist. UATES, ENTRIES, WINNERS, IN PREVIOUS DOG RACES a license More radio fans than ever before in the town of Timmins now have the necessary Dominion radio licenses. The reason for this is that some weeks ago a Dominion policeman and a represenâ€" tative of the department at Ottawa handling the radio licenses made a visit here and called at practically every house where there was a radio. Those who had radios were asked to produce their licenses, and if they had nc licenses they were warned to get them at once, as all radio owners must have The Freight Race was inauguratedâ€"in 1922 and has attained great popularity. In 1922 the winner was Mr. H. Darling. Mr. J. Clifford‘s team won the 1923 event. The 1924 winner was Mr. L. Reid, and Mr. Phlios Bouvereau was the 1925 winner. The 1926 freight race was won by Fountain, of Ansonville, his time being 24 minutes, 7 seconds. Boudreau was nine seconds slower for second place and Bissonnette a close third. In 1928 there were 14 entries for the freight race. In recent years the freight race has usually managed to attract more entries than the main speed race. The winners of the freight race in 1928 were as follows:â€"I1st, H. Veino, 18 minutes; 2nd, Geo. Churney, 19 minutes, 45 seconds; 3rd, W. Tor-i angeau, 21 minutes, 30 seconds. In 1929 there were eleven entries in the freight race. The following were the winning teams in last year‘s freight race:â€"First, G. Chornier, 19 minutes, 5 seconds. Second, C.
