A heading in The Toronto Mail and Empire last week says: "Porcupine in Post Office is Newest Sault Wonder." By the same token a despatch from Timmins might be headed:â€" "Newest Fost Office in Porcupine is the Saultest Wonder." An item in The Toronto Star last week says quite plainly that "in 1870 the population of Toronto was 50,000, and in 1928 this had increased to 3.500." The ordinary man will not be able to see the significance of the figures as quoted. To make the statement intelligible The Star should have added that this remarkable growth was due solely to the enterprise of The Tbronto Star and the wise administration of HKon. Wm. Lyon Mackenzie King. A Philadelphia entomologist that mosquitoes prefer blondes ments and scientific reasons al pert entomologists, no one in 1 even the lady mosquito is any ferences. The town of Lindsay is worrying these days because a strict enforcement of the dog byâ€"law in that town is having the eZect of lessening the receipts from the dog taxes. Peoâ€" ple are apparently deciding that the family dog is too old to warrant paying taxes for him, or that the keeping of a dog in towm in this modern world is too great a nuisance, eSâ€" pecially when a fee is demanded under the law for the privilege. Accordingly, the dogs are being destroyed in large numbers to avoid the tax and the town is losing a revenue that formerly drifted in. during the course of the year. The:rc are many in Timmins who would gladly forego all revemue from dog licenses, if the loss of revenue were acâ€" companied by the disappearance of all 4ogs from the town. On the other hand there are many who will view with sinâ€" cere regret any action or attitude that means the loss to mankind, and especially to the boys, of that loyal, faithful, happy friend, the dog. In some past years there was much illâ€"will here against dogs roaming at large in town. This illâ€"will was due more to the thoughtlessness and selfishness of dog owners than to defects in the dogs. Owners who failed to prevent their dogs from becoming a nuisance to others in town were responsible for the agitation to place dogs under stern restrictions. This year conditions have been much better than in some former years and as a result there is less call for harsh measures against the dog. In the meantime the number of dogs in town has been materially reduced and the dogs remaining here are better cared for and controlied. After all the public is reasonable and not unâ€" kindly, but when imposed upon too much it is natural that there should be resentment. At the present time attention has been turned from the dogs to the horses and cows that are allowed to roam the streets at night. These horses and cows play sad havo¢ with lawns and gardens. No fence is high enough to prevent a horse or cow from being able to damage a nice front lawn or garden. Owners of horses and cows may expect that unless they protect others in town from the damage that may be inflicted by these animals roamin'é the streets at night or at cther times, there will be bitterness felt against the animals and their owners alike. It would have been a popular move some weeks ago to agiâ€" tate for a law prohibiting the keeping of horses and cows within the town limits. The owners of lawns gardens were incensed because in the saving of a dollar or two for pasturage or care of the animals, horses and cows were alâ€" lowed to rcam the streets and destroy lawns and gardens that had cost much in actual dollars and labour, and were istill more valuable and valued from the standpoint of pride in beauty around the home. All but a few of the publie will submit to considerable inconvenience and annoyance, but there is always a limit. When there are restrictive laws passed that appear to be harsh or unjust, it is usually the selfish and the thoughtless in the class affected who are really to blame for the burdensome regulations. In an editorial note last week in reéard to the suggestion that the T. N. O. Railway run a special train to Kapusâ€" kasing from Timmins and this district generally for the big A gentleman in town, who has not been noted for special loyalty to the Empire or the throne, has recently caused much comment by walking around muttering fervently, "God Save the King." A friend explains the matter in this way: This particular gentleman is a very strong Liberal party man and recently he was on holiday in the south, and there he learned from all sides that the chances all favoured the smashing of the King Government, hence the prayer so fervently muttered. The sad part of the matter is that it is only the prayer of the righteous that availeth much. Timmins, Ont., Thursday, July 17th, 1930 GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER On Sunday aftermoon last about seven o‘clock Mrs. F. Walkley was reâ€" turning home from Iroquois FPalls. She was driving her car and was acâ€" companied by a ifew ffiends. They mae the return to Timmins by way of the Dome thus coming back to town by what is known as the "back road." Suddenly they noticed a halfâ€" grown bear come cut of the bush and cross the road near McDonald Hill. "The animal was very plainly seen and made no very particular effort to avoid contact with human beings. It is true that he did not wait to investigate too wlosely the aprisoaching motor car, nor did the occupants of the car desire anything liks that. The incident of seeing a live bear, even young one, so close to the town is a very unusual ome and so worthy of a special note. . ‘The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "COme amateur gardener reports this week that he has new potatoes. of a Halfâ€"Grown Bear Seen y Close to McDonald Hill fair size and good quality. He did not wish his name mentioned, beâ€" ing afraid that he would have too many Triends all at once who would like to share in the fruits of his labours."

H. Black as general manâ€" ager and viceâ€"president. Mt.. J. C. Kimberley of Neenah, Wisconsin, sucâ€" ceeds Mr. Black as viceâ€"president, while as previously announced Mr. E. 5. Noble of Kapuskasing has assumet the mantle of general manager, with headquarters in this town. . Mr. George Barber of Toronto, in charge of the Toronto office, has been elected a diâ€" rector, and treasurer of the company in place of Mr. Kimberley. Several dismissals and resignations have evenâ€" tuated in the mill and office staff at Kapuskasing, and possibly a few other readjustments of personnel are still in contemplation. As the old saying goes, "the smoke goes up the chxmney just the same." MORE EXECUTIVE CHANGES AT SPRUCE FALLS COMPANY Otawa Journal:â€"*"Unenforcable and unnecessary legislation have become the grsat American joke. day planned at the Kapuskasing Experimental Station in August, the following line appeared "Ogofrewfoo i tahansâ€" mriediostp SHKRDLU CMFWYP ESHT." This was simply a misplaced line. It should have appeared: in the editorial note discussing unemployment in this country. It expresses as closely as the law will allow the opinion that must be held of a government that says there is no unemployment in the Dominion of Capada or that it is not a shame and a disgrace that there should be any unemployment in this rich and prosperous young country, with resources sufficient to mainâ€" tain a hundred million population in comfort, while there are less than a tenth of that number actually here. It is only ten days until the Dominion Eléction, but it is hundred and sixty days before Christmas. In most lines of business and endeavour effort slackens more or less during the summer months. This is true even in the matter of social welfare and other humanitarian work. In the summer months it is easier for people to exist under adverse circumstances. Conditions are such that cases of want are not so likely to come to attention nor is the need for remedy as urgent as in more severe weather. A glance at the report of the superintendent of the District of Cochâ€" rane Children‘s Aid Scciety for June, as published elsewhere in this issue, will tempt any thoughtful person to suggest. that if this were a slack month then other months must be busy, indeed. This is the fact of the case. During the month of June seventeen investigations were made of conâ€" ditions where children were concerned. The superintendent} had no less than fortyâ€"three office interviews, to say nothing of the many other more casual interviews that develop from the work. There were two cases under the Unmarried Par-! ents‘ Act, which is an important though unpleasant part of the superintendent‘s work. The report shows that during the mconth seven children were given medical attention. This is one of the features of the work in which the Childâ€" ren‘s Aid Scciety takes special pride and satisfaction. It means that children, who would otherwise suffer illâ€"health, or deformity are given the necessary medical attention and hospital care that assure them a better chance in life. This is a brarch of the work that carries its own immediate reward and satisfaction. To see a deformed child transâ€" formed into a normal oné. to watch the cure of a crippled youngster, to note health return to the sick boy or girl, these are pleasures that follow this important branch of the Childâ€" ren‘s Aid Society efforts. During the month of June the C. A. S. superintendent travelled 2,300 miles in the performance of his duties. It would need to be a slack month indeed, when Superintendent Carson was not a busy man. And as the work is that of building better citizenship, it is all more than well worth while, either from the business viewpoint or the patriotic cutlook. Arthur Conan Doyle, the noted author whose historical novels and detective stories delighted the hearts of the men and women of two generations, died last week at his home in England. In recent years the late Sir Conan Doyle dropped the writing of the detective stories that thrilled so many thousands of people and actively took up the study and practice of spiritualism. Before he died he promised to communicate with friends and relatives here on earth after he had passed over into the great unknown. He found inâ€" terest and pleasure in following spiritualistic mediums who had been exposed as charlatans cn more than one occasion, and in some cases he was forced to admit that deception had been practised in the alleged communications with the spirit world. Despite the many evidences that were given of chicâ€" anery and fraud by those who professed to secure messages from the cther world, Sir Conan Doyle held his belief in the idea of communication between those who have passed on and those who remain upon this earth. The great character. Sherleck Holmes, with his wonderful powers of deduction and reasoning, as created by Conan Doyle himself, would have found difficulty, had he been a man in fact instead of a character in fiction, in solving the mystery of why a man cf the shrewdness and gifts of Conan Doyle should have been so often impcosed upon by fakers. It is not necessary to beâ€" lieve cor to disbelieve in spiritualism to reach conclusion such as this, for few, if any, of the seances which Conan Doyle accepted as supernatural revelations would stand in â€" vestigation or engquiry by the ordinary layman. Those who found such pleasure in the adventures of Sherlock Holmes have always regretted that Conan Doyle allowed the spirit of this detective that he had created to die, while he acâ€" cepted himself the creaticns of others much less able and much less honest or upright. s According to a story current at Cobalt (and in different: guise at many other places) a farmer from the New Liskeard | district met a prospector on the road one day in 1915, and; the mineâ€"finder made some reference to the world war then | in progress. "What war is going on now?" asked the farmer who evidently was completely unaware of the fierce struggle affecting practically all nations. The prospector patiently | explained the causes of the war, the nations engaged in the war, and the gigantic struggle involved in this war. The farmer listened carefully to the story, then he commented as he touched up his horses to proceed on his way, "Well ‘ they‘re having a fine day for it."" In regard to the election | contest now in progress, even that much can not be said.| One weather sharp informs The Advance that there has not : been a day without some rain somewhere in the twentyâ€"four , hours for the past forty days, and as Tuesday of this week was St. Swithin‘s Day and as it rained on that day the legend is that if there is rain on St. Swithin‘s Day there will be rain for forty days, the chances are that so long as the present government remains in office there will be rain every| day.

This is the line that The Pembroke Standarcâ€" Observer takes in considering the quesâ€" tion of motor accidents ali railway crossings. Writing along this line The Pembroke Standardâ€"Observer says:â€" "Quebec has a law which requires all automobiles to stop At railway crossings. Ontario has no law. Queâ€" bec‘s law in that regard came into efâ€" fect a little over a year ago. This makes a comparison of the records of the two provinces interesting. COMPARISON OF TWO LAWS AND RESULTS FOLLOWTING "In 1928, Ontario had 71 persons killâ€" ed at railway crossings. In the same vear there were 39 killed at crossings in Quebec. Then the compulsory stop law came into effect in the Frenchâ€" Canadian province, In 1929, there were 78 people killed at crossings in Ontario. In Quebec, in 1929, only seven were killed in the same type of accidents. * "If ever figures spoke for themselves these do. They simply mean that the province of Quebec has virtually solvâ€" ad the problem of safeguarding life a» railway crossings, while Ontario is not willing to follow the splendid example of her sister province and adopt similar legislation. But it has got to come. Scarcely a week passed without at least ane fatal accident being recorded at a crossing in Ontario. In Quebec, such cczcurrences are now very rareâ€"only FRIGIDA IR E.
