Thursday, March 20th, 1930 McLaughlinâ€"Buick Performance is Revealed .too.in Marquette ITH a leader‘s mastery of every phase of action Marquette provides performance withâ€" out a peer in its class. The proved advantages of McLaughlinâ€"Buick ideals of extra value have never been more convincingly demonstrated. Amazing new power and pickâ€"up . . thrilling new speed . . and a surprising new economy is now available in a still wider price field. Only Marquette, with its rich background of McLaughâ€" linâ€"Buick craftsmanship, can offer such superlative performance at such moderate cost. THE ROWNTREE CO.

Baby is mother‘s darling, of course, but Rowntree‘s York Milk is everybody‘s favourite. Baby may grow up to be Premierâ€"York Milk is the nation‘s choice today and every day. Rowntree‘s York Milk is a good name to rememberâ€"always. It stands for the best in milk chocolateâ€"so good that it has set a new standard of milk chocolate goodness. Wholesome, delicious, perfectly blended, it just melts away in your mouth, There is no other quite as good to cat as York Milk. Try a bar. I TO ORGANIZE FOR DOMINION FISH AND GAME PROTECTION A Dominionâ€"wide drive to protect the wild life of Canada will be inaugurated at Ottawa on March 20th. On that date the "Isaak Waltons" and the mighty hunters from the four corners of the country, some 200 of them, will assemble to organize the Dominion of Canada Fish and Game Protective Asâ€" sociation. It had been originally planâ€" ned that the session would open in the evening of that date but with so many important questions on the agenda, it has been decided to start at 10 a.m. This will make it possible to hold two or more sessions. The provincial and organized associations have been reâ€" quested to attend the first meeting. Arrangements are being made to practically double the size of the minâ€" ing school at Haileybury, the additional building to be used for technical school purposes.

(From The Orillia Newsâ€"Letter) Young men, clean limbed and able workers, arrive each day, penniless and hungry at the Orillia jail, with a plea for night out of the cold and a breakfast in the morning, according to chief Louis Church. These men are not hoboes in the usual sense of the word. They want work, are travelling the country on foot, and by freight, in an effort to find it, and are finding it not. An average of two a day, nearâ€" ly fifty a month, and not more than one in twentyâ€"five over thirtyâ€"five, arâ€" rive in Orillia from the cities of Torâ€" onto and Hamilton, etc., on their way to the mining distric} Almost the same number, in many cases the same youth, arrive back from the north, a little more hopsless, little more hungry, and a little less able to fight the desperate fight for a job. QUEER THINGS TO BE IN A "PROSPFEROUS" COUNTRY There is no work in the mining and lumber camps. There is no work in the industrial centres Nor can the farms, at this season of the year, take them. No provision is made for their sustenance in the cities. The married man, the older man, comes first. So it is that these young men, valuable citiâ€" zens, are forced to beg, steal or depend It is such a state of affairs that makes criminals. The majority of these unfortunates feel that so long as they are willing and able to work, they have a right to eat and sleep in comfort. Failing the opportunity to do so honâ€" estly (as they wish) they take to robâ€" bing cottages, pilfering box cars, shopâ€" lifting, burglary. They fight for their lives with the same primeveal cunning and ruthlessness as an animal. And the most familiar with their problems and difficulties are the last to judge them. on the charities of the municipalities they visit, in search of work. Two a day, almost fifty a month, and with but one in twentyâ€"five of their number over thirtyâ€"five of this workless band of wouldâ€"be workers, made deâ€" perate by winter and lack of food, are the communists of toâ€"day, the criminâ€" als of toâ€"morrow.

Need for Action to Prevent Depletion of Game. Example Given by Case of Beaver On more than one occasion The Adâ€" vance has quoted M. U. Bates, of Metâ€" agami, in regard to wild life and its conservation, .because Mr. Bates . is entitled to specail consideration in such matters on account of his wide knowâ€" ledge and long experience. In the matter of the present danger of the extermination of the deer by wolves the opinions of Mr. Bates are especially valuable. For this reason a recent arâ€" ticle by Mr. Bates is given in full herewith. He writes as followsâ€" "The article, "Combating the Wolf Menace," which appeared in the Febâ€" ruary number of Forest and Outdoors, is a topical one and very much to the point. The conditions which Mr. Maharg, the author, describes are not restricted to Algonquin Park alone but are general over practically the wholel of the province. Those who are opâ€" posed to the bounty increase, and are content to let matters take their own course should not forget the lesson! of our vanished beaver, Ten years ago the whole of Northern Ontario boasted this interesting and valuable furbearer, not in thousands but in tens of thousâ€" ands. Despite repeated warnings from interested lovers of wild life, the beavyâ€" er seasons were kept open year after year and the continuous slaughter of these animals permitted. The result today is: hundreds of square miles of the finest beaver grounds in the land with not a single live beaver anywhere to be found. Death and desolation.i and thousands upon thousands ofi pleasant woodland lakes dried up, their parched grassy bottoms now standing invitation to the fire demon that ten years ago they helped to combat. In many sections, in these once fine beavyâ€" er grounds, a beaver today would be a curiosity. The beaver depletion was caused primarily by competitive trapâ€" ping with no proper methods of conâ€" trol. The Government evidently did not subscribe to the oldâ€"fashioned proâ€" verb that "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Hundreds of trappers are destitute today and hundreds of thousands of dollars will be lost to the country in the next few years as the result of the Governâ€" ment‘s policy of following the line of least resistance and leaving the beaver situation to adjust itself. Up to a comparatively recent date the same condition applied to our hoofed game, our deer particularly having suffered untold losses from our unchecked wolves. The Governments of Ontario anae Quebec, however, seem at last alive to the situation. The former province has, within the last two months, sent out severali parties of paid hunters in an attempt to combat the wolf menace at points where conditions have been reported as particularly bad. In the Magnetawan district, for instance, so troublesome had the wolves become the past fall that the farmers of Chapâ€" man township sent their reeve aAas a representative to the annual meeting of the Ontario Tourist Trade Associaâ€" tion, held in North Bay in January, to ask the coâ€"operation of the Asâ€" sociation in establishing some form of effective wolf control. Mr. Martin, the Secretary of Bonfield Township, in the Nipissing district, was also present â€" 2 80B Vipond‘s Three Chances To Add to Ore Reserves The fact that Vipond is getting exâ€" cellent results at the north end of its claims, near the Hollinger boundary line, draws attention away from the excellent chances which exist elsewnere The following article is from the last week‘s issue of The Northern Minâ€" Indeed, the Vipond situation may Bbe summed up by saying that the mine has three main chances of making ore in large quantities. The first exists in the central part + the property in the region of the No. 9 vein system, from whence has come practically all the production in recent years; the possibilitiee of this central area are exceptionally good. Next, of course, is the chance of getting big ore in the extensions of Hollinger‘s No. 97 and 44 veins. Two paralleling extensions are now being opened up on Vipond ground, both giving grade higher than Vipond average, which fits in closely with Hollinger‘s experience in this vicinity. Then there are the possibilities of the area to the west of the No. 9 system. For months Vipond has been quietly drifting on the 8th level (866 feet), over toward the bounâ€" dary of the old Porcupine Crown claims, which some two or three years ago were absorbed by Vipond. The objective is a porphyryâ€"keewatin conâ€" tact, which should carry oreshoots simâ€" ilar to that which paid Porcupine Crown dividends a few years ago. The lower reaches of this contact have never been adequately explored. In about a month, when the Vipond drive reaches its objective, a campaign of diamond drilling will be commenced. The outlook for ore here is quite sportâ€" on a like mission. Mr. Martin stated | that during the past fall a very large number of sheep had been killed by wolves, his township having been called on to pay several hundred dollars to farmers for stock lost in this way. In the Sault district, as well as some other districts, several farmers had to give up sheepâ€"raising entirely as a result of the heavy losses caused by wolves. In the Mattawa district, the carcasses of a large number of wolfâ€"killed deer| could be seen a short distance from the railway line. At Cartier, a C.P.R. diviâ€" sion point west of Sudbury, the wolves ] had hounded and mangled deer all the fall, and after the snow came they got so bold they came right into the railâ€" ; way yards, where they could be seen nightly by train crews switching in the yard. Several of these wolves were given a merry chase by trains coming into Cartier at night, and one or two of them struck and killed. At Metagama, fourteen mile§ west of Cartier, the wolves hounded the few remaining deer all throughout and after the hunting season. These wolves did not conflnel themselves to night hunting only, but: were afield all day, having been seen several times by a party of Indians who were trapping in the district. Two paid government wolf hunters, who were hunting them on skis, reported to the writer seeing only eight live deer, but the trails of at least twenty wolves in the same ground. Eight deer and twenty timber wolves â€"figure it for yourself! These Finn hunters, howâ€" ever, reported the moose as being very plentiful, which would indicate that as long as a live deer is left, the wolves won‘t attack the moose. Some miles south of this point an Indian trapper came onto a pack of wolves tearing down a herd of about fifteen deer. Several of the deer were already hamâ€" strung and dead before the wolves were frightened away by the trapper‘s rifle shots. "Several plans have been ‘recomâ€" mended for the extermination of the wolves. The two which have received the most support, and which, in fact, would appear to have the most merit, are as follows: 1. A bounty sufficiently large to inâ€" terest all trappers in the pursuit of the wolf. "Whilile the salaried wolf hunters have been favored by several American states who have tried both systems, the writer, from his knowledge of conâ€" ditions in the unsettled districts of Northern Canada would favour the bounty system. His reasons are as follows: 2. Salaried wolf hunters employed by the Government. "Qualified salaried wolf hunters would be hard to find and harder to control in the remoter sections of the Northland. The bounty system, on the other hand, would function itself auâ€" tomaticallyâ€"no pelts, no bounty. Thus the trapper would be forced to work for his money and would not be able to enjoy profitable holiday at the exâ€" pense of the Government, as he could very easily do when appointed as a salaried hunter. I had one salaried wolf hunter appointed for two months He collected a substantial salary and, trapping conditions being bad at the time, notwithstanding that he was exâ€" perienced and a reliable man, he did not turn in single pelt. An experâ€" ienced Finn hunter has recommended hunting wolves by airplane. The airâ€" plane spots the wolves on the frozen, mowâ€"covered lakes on which they‘ usuâ€" ally travel. The plane drops poisoned baits ahead of them or, swooping down close, attacks them with gun fire. Those that escape are pursued by hunters on skis, where, under favorable conditions, they are easily overtaken. I have no doubt that the latter plan has considerable merit, and very good work could be done by experienced wolf hunters, especially by the Finns, most of whom are fast and experienced or experimental way, unfeasible for the present." skiers. Notwithstanding its possibiliâ€" ties, however, the expense involved probably renders such a pln, except_, Coming back to the Hollinger bounâ€" dary area, it is to be noted that the 427 vein recently found in diamond drilling has been drifted upon for 40 feet now, and shows something better than Viâ€" pond average grade. Paralleling it, about 80 feet, away, is 426 vein It has been drifted upon for a length of 175 feet, and shows $8.50 average with a tenâ€"foot width. The upper and lower horizons of these occurrences will be developed as quickly as possible, and the developments should be reflected in the ore reserve statement next sumâ€" mer. When it is recalled that Hollingâ€" er took $14,000,000 worth of gold out of these veins near the Vipond line, the possibilities are seen as pretty imâ€" portant. Under the excellent management of Robert Dye, Vipond has done far betâ€" ter than was expected of it. Six or seven years ago, when work was reâ€" sumed and he took over, the property was treated pretty much as a prospect chance, and not many thought that it would live until now, especially as six previous attempts had bsen made, and the present is the seventh comâ€" pany that has been formed. Mr. Dye has made the property pay year by year, and has found enough ore to keep his reserves up to a point that permittted ‘him to search about for new ore chances. He has had no light struggle. Vipond has never been flush enough to permit him to reach .out in a big and expensive fashion for new ore. He has had to feel his way, paying for exploration month by month. Now, many will be ready to believe that Vipond‘s outlook has never been so distinct and bright. The $1, 000,000 in ore reserves of the last report has been maintained. Three chances for new ore have been brought to the front, and one of them is now develâ€" oping with excellent success. Thne company has $600,000 in cash in the treasury and $250,000 invested in Hurâ€" onian Mining Finance. These latter two items are worth nearly 40c a share, as the company has 2,250,000 shares isssued. Production has been stepped up and the mill is now running its highest tonnage, 330 tons daily, in history. Considering the relatively small size of mill tonnage, and the relatively large scale of development work, Mr. Dye has secured excellent results.
