The Algoma Wolf Hunt Club going last week by plane to St. Joe‘s Island for a longâ€"advertised wolf hunt returnâ€" ed a few days after with only a single wolf killed. This wolf was shot by Thomas Jondreau. There were fourâ€" teen others in the party, including the famous Jim Curran of The Sault Ste. Marie Star, but all they shot between the fifteen of them was that one lone wolf. The party frankly admits that they saw slashings of wolves, wolves by the score and the hundreds, but they could not hit them with their guns. According to the despatches from Sault Ste. Marie, now famous for their truthfuiness, the good party had a good time, a good holiday, saw a good lot of wolves, but enjoyed very poor marksâ€" manship. Editor Curran of The Sault Star is understood to excuse his failure to pot a single wolf to the fact that he lost his glasses while the airship was on its way to the hunting grounds.

A method of burning pyrites to make sulphur dioxide gas economically for use in pulp mills was ouflined by Horace Freeman, chemical and metalâ€" lurgical engineer at Shawinigan, Que. Utilization of the heat of combustion as well as the gas produced and of the residue from burning the pyrites is the principle of Mr. Freeman‘s process, and in the opinion of the institute, will prove an important contribution to methods of using minerals. ‘Two papers on the Noranda Mines were presented, one describing the smelter, by W. B. Boggs, superintendent A resolution supporting the stand of the western coal producers and approyâ€" ing the principle of government subâ€" vention to freight rates to meet the emergency was passed unanimously by the institute, and copies of the resoluâ€" tion forwarded to Premier Mackenzie King and Hon.

OFFIGERS 1930 INSTHTUTE MINING AND METALLURGY Government intervention in freight rates to enable coal miners of Alberta and British Columbia to compete with foreign coal was urged by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy at the close of its annual convention yesâ€" terday afternoon. The bituminous coal mining industry of Alberta and Eastern British Columâ€" bia is facing a serious crisis due to lack of markets, it was pointed out, and Dr. Justin DeLury of Winnipeg was welcomed as the incoming president. W. H. Bassett, president of the Ameriâ€" can Institute of Mining and Metallurgy brought greetings from the sister instiâ€" tute. Norman R. Fisher presided. Dr. J. $. DeLury, of Winnipeg, the Ne President. J. H. Stovel One of the Mining Men Appointed on Exeâ€" cutive from Ontario. At Thursday‘s session of the Canaâ€" dian Institute of Mining and Metalâ€" lurgy at Toronto last week, Bradley Stoughton, professor of metallurgy at Lehigh University, advised encouraging the manufacturing end of the mining industry as well as that of the raw materials. The Institute should pay greater attention to metallurgy, he Japanese who suspect that a demon may be following them, run in front of motor cars. They believe that the closer the car comes to them, the surer it is to run over the demon behind Many motorists appear to suspect that this belief is practised in Canada. While speed is an appreciable factor in selling automobiles in highly motorâ€" ized countries, for a salesman to menâ€" tion it in Japan is said to be one way of losing the support of traffic authoriâ€" ties. In Tibef the problem of selling beâ€" comes more complicated. Toral vehiâ€" cular traffic in that country is one motor cycle. The life of an automobile salesman in many parts of the world is not an easy one, according to reports from far points of the compass. For instance in Syria native women do not drive, and Syrian men consider it beneath their dignity to operate their own cars. Most Syrian automobiles are for pubâ€" lic hire. J. A. Arthurs (Cons.â€"Parry Sound) in supporting the resolution referred to the Federal assistance granted the road building in the United States. Congress had voted $125,000,000 a year for three years to be devoted to this purpose. That represented more than one dollar per head of population per annum. sSOME QODD NOTES ABOUT MOTORING IN THE WORLD A. M. Carmichael (Prog.â€"Kindersley) said Dominion action in this matter was long overdue. A great part of Canada‘s population travelled in motor cars; and a transâ€"Canada highway was essential in the interests of the counâ€" try. He was glad to hear that the actâ€" ing minister of immigration had statâ€" ed he was opposed to assisted immiâ€" eration. The money thus saved could be utilized for highway purposes. He believed the Dominion Government should adopt a coâ€"ordinated policy so that transâ€"Provincial highways would doveâ€"tail together with a view to an ultimate transâ€"Canada highway. T. E. Simpson, (Cons., Algoma West) argued that the Dominion Government received large sums from duties and luxury taxes on automobiles and should contribute to the construction of roads. The tourist trade had become a matâ€" ter of national importance and the highway would further enhance its value to the country. Completion of the highway would require something like $33,000,000. Unâ€" doubtedly the provinces, would be willâ€" ing to spend a considerable amount on the project. At Confederation it had been found essential to build a railway in order to connect the scattered provinces, but if there had been automobiles in existâ€" ence in those days, Mr. Feliner felt sure that a highway would also have been constructed. There were also sentiâ€" mental considerations in support of a transâ€"Canada highway. A Canadian travelling from east to west must for a portion of his journey traverse a part of â€"the United States.~ This was not a good position for Canadians to be placed in, nor did it tend towards stiâ€" mulating national pride within them. _ Additional to the advantages reâ€" ferred to, a programme of highway construction would also help to amelâ€" iorate the conditions of unemployment in Canada. It was not the opinion of the people of Canada that responsiâ€" bility of dealing with unemployment rested exclusively with the provinces Conditions in Western Canada were very unsatisfactory, and there was many a farmer who would be glad of assistance if a transcontinental highâ€" way was built. The Haileyburian last week says:â€" The question was before the House through a motion presented by D. P. Kellmer, U.F.A. member for Athabasâ€" ka. This motion urged the Governâ€" ment to consider the advisability of giving further substantial grants to the provinces to cover the next five years‘ development of highway construction. Speaking to his motion Mr. Kelmer pointed out that in 1929 Canada had derived $300,000,000 from the tourists‘ trade; more thnan 9,000,000 persons from the United States had visited Canada during that year. For the past ten years the province of Quebec alone had profited from this traffic to tns extent of $350,000,000. If such was the case then, that money accounted for every dollar that had been spent on the highways. By a vote of 79 to 59 the House of Commons at Ottawa on Monday evenâ€" ing defeated a private member‘s reâ€" solution calling on the Government to consider grants to the provinces for highway construction. The division found the Conservatives, and members of the U.F.A., and Labor groups rangâ€" ed together in support of the proposal. All the Progressives, with the excepâ€" tion of B. W. Bansher, member for Lambton East, also voted in the affirâ€" mative. Against the proposal voted all the Liberals and Liberalâ€"Progressives, members of the independent group, and Mr. Fansher. As the proposed Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way would almost inevitably use a route through the North Land, and preferably follow the Ferguson highâ€" way and along the Transcontinental, the question has very special interest for the North. Motion for Grants to Provinces for Highway Across Dominion Defeatâ€" ed in House This Week by Libâ€" erals and Allies, HOUSE OF GOMMONS TURNS DOWN TRANSâ€"CANADA ROAD Sudbury Starâ€"A medical expert now comes forward with the statement that settingâ€"up exercises are mot beneficial and may even be harmful, a discovery we made these many years ago by standing too near a radiator while doâ€" ing them. Work is starting this week on the dismantling ofâ€"the New Empire theaâ€" tre, preparatory to the tearing down of the structure which is to be reâ€" placed by a large and modern sound motion picture theatre of brick and tile construction. "The commissioner, it will be noted, doss not recommend legislation to comâ€" pel all owners of motor vehicles to }carry public liability insurance. The | agitation for such legislation has been jozscasioned by the fact that some vehicle owners, after having been provâ€" ed to have caused accidents, have been found to be without the means to pay for the injuries and the damage they { have inflicted. Compulsory insurance, it has been contended, would make 1: impossible for such a situation to arise. Objection has been taken to compulâ€" ;sory insurance on the grounds that it is unnecessarily hburdensome, exposes the pubilec to excessive charges by inâ€" surers, and lessen seme drivers‘ sense 1 of responibility. In point of fact, many vehicleâ€"owners who carry public liaâ€" bility insurance are not involved from one year‘s end to the other in any [tramc accident. They may be forâ€" tunate, but they can scarcely be said to have become reckless because they 'were insured against public liability. Mr. Justic Hodgins, who has made during the past year an extensive study of the operation of motor insurance laws, compulsory or otherwise, in the United States and other countries, would oblige no driver to obtain insurâ€" ance until he has revealed a tendency toward recklessness by a violation of the law or has been involved in one accident. Some persons may suggest that sufferers from that one accident might Jfind themselves unprotected finâ€" ancially. On the other hand, the fact that a vehicle owner would be obliged to pay for injuries or damage caused by that one accident and to obtain public liability insurance or lose the right to operate a motor vehicle in Ontario might induce him to exercise care in his driving or to buy insurance without being compelled to do so. As for the Government control of insurance rates that Mr. Justice Hodgins proposes, it seems reasonable that if the Governâ€" ment compels the public to secure inâ€" surance it should endeavour to protect the public against excessive insurance ‘ l i f "Mr. Justice Frank E. Hodgins, who has been conducting as a royal commisâ€" sioner appointed by the Ontario Govâ€" ernment an investigation of automobile insurance rates and the operation of laws designed to protect the financial interests of victims of motor accidents and their dependents, has presented a report in which he proposes important changes in the laws of this province. He recommends enactment of "safety responsibility‘" legislation under which any person convicted of a serious violaâ€" tion of the Highway Traffic Act or the Criminal Code or held responsible, as a result of a traffic accident, for serious or substantial injury to the persons or property of others, would be deprived of his vehicle license and his driving permit until he arranged to meet claims for damages arising out of the accident and gave evidence of his ability to satâ€" isfy like claims in the future by securâ€" ing a policy of insurance against liabiliâ€" ty for damages or depositing a surety bond, cash or securities with the proâ€" per governmental authority. In addiâ€" tion, Mr. Justice Hodgins advises that insurance companies be required to furnish the supérintendent of insurance with records of their premiums, their payments of claims and their expense costs, and that the superintendent of insurance be empowered, after notice and hearing, to make adjustments of motor insurance rates, which are, in his opinion, excessive, discriminatory or inadequate. On numerous occasions The Advance has urged the necessity for some sort of compulsory automobile insurance for the protection of the general pubâ€" lic. In discussing some recent developâ€" ments in the matter The Toronto Mail and Empire on Monday of this week says editorially :â€" New Motor Insurance Laws Now Recommended MACDONALD‘S TOBACCOS CIGARETTES THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO N. J. Atkinson, the new chief of police at Cobalt, had what he would consider an unpleasant experience some days ago. A young woman struck the officer a stinging blow in the face while the shows were changing at the theaâ€" tre. Aifter the show the chief took the young woman to the station where she apologized, saying that it was a misâ€" take, as she did not know the identity of the gentleman she slapped. â€"The chief agreed that it was a mistake and the matter apparently dropped at that. _ The Northern Tribune, of Kapusâ€" kasing, last week in an editorial article says:â€"*"Several of our contemporaries !have been reading North Bay out of Northern Ontario, and Giscounting its claim to be "the gateway city." Cerâ€" tainly, North Bay is regarded by Northâ€" erners as being on the extreme south edge of Northern Ontario; and there is suspicion that this young city has reâ€" garded itself as a toll gate. In regard to the tourist traffic, has there been a little of the ‘"See Naples and Die" idea disseminatedâ€"that North Bay tourist trade interests have been anxious to have tourists stay over at North Bay, or at most take in Temagami, instead of motoring on up the Ferguson highâ€" way? Looking to the future, the best interests of North Bay would be better served by using every inducement to persuade tourists to continue on north, for if the "gateway city‘"‘ is to grow to anything like the 100,000 population predicted for it, it will attain that population only by the prosperity of the towns and settlements north of it. That must be selfâ€"evident. North Bay has it figured ow every tourist spends so much (average) per day during his stay there, and wants that stay proâ€" longed. It isn‘t very farâ€"sighted. What does the poetic jingle sayâ€"â€"someâ€" thing like this: "How little ye know of the empire, who only England know!‘" No one has seen Northern Ontario who has seem only North Bay. That may be the reason why some towns along the T. N. O. were last summer considering stationing a paid official at North Bay to induce tourists to come farther up. They shouldn‘t have to do any such thing, if North Bay were really alive to its best interâ€" ests."
