HNlAYSUM IAlKS FORESI FIRE PRUIEBIIUN At the recent convention of the Na-l tional Hardwood Lumber Association held at the Royal York in Toronto. one of the special features was the address of Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests for Ontario. He was given an enthusiastic reception by the convention. He extended greetings to the National Hardwood Lumber visi- tors and said that Ontario was a large user of lumber. The most of the tim- ber however, was coniferous or soft; wood species but there was considerable maple and other hardwoods in the North. Mr. Finlayson extended a cor- dial invitation to any of the visiting lumbermen who might have the time to spend a few days in the hinterland of Ontario and there witness the devel- opment in lumbering, mining, agricul- tural and other resources. “To all who will give us their names,” continued Mr. Finlayson, “we will plan an inter- esting itinerary and see that they are iwell taken care of." Addresses Membert; of the National Hardwood Lumber Association at Royal York Hotel in Toronto Recently. Delegates Pre- sent from North and South. One of the soundest and most novel features in connection with the admin- istration of the forests was that On- tario did not, when she held timber sales, dispose of the land outright but merely licenses to cut the timber there- on. To-day, under the control of On- tario there are 125,000,000 acres. The people in years gone by had not ap- preciated the wooded wealth of On- tario but fortunately the land had been kept in the hands of the province. “A distinguishing~ feature of our op- eration." continued Mr. Finlayson. “is that when we sold timber limits, it was on a different basis to limits disposed of in Michigan, Wisconsin and other states. There, the land was disposed of outright; here, in Ontario, we sold the right to cut the timber under a license but never parted with the soil. These licenses are renewable from year to year and in some cases the Province of Ontario had been renewed eighty or ninety times. The state owned most all the timber lands which were under its absolute control. Mr. Finlayson said that he intended to devote some time to the processes of protecting the property from the rav- ages of fire. Twenty-five million acres or one-fifth of the state-owned forests were safe-guarded by towers, both steel and wooden, telephone lines, etc. If a blaze broke out speed boats on the lakes, and speeders on the railways rushed men, fire pumps, hose. etc., to the scene. The remaining 100,000,000 acres could not be reached by any means of communication other than by lake and river and an aerial patrol had been in- stituted a few years ago with hydro- planes and pilots. These planes travel on an average of from 80 to 125 miles an hour and the pilots have the same range of vision as can be obtained from the ordinary watch tower. This meant that each plane afforded a very wide observation. The fire losses in Ontario differ greatly according to the season, the mose severe deing in 1923 when there was burned over 2,123,000 acres of tim- ber lands. In 1927 only 35,000 acres were visited by fire. The hazard de- pended a great deal upon the rainfall. The cost of the aerial fire protection patrol in Northern Ontario last season. was $1,700,000 and a plane would travel about as far on a gallon of gasoline as a Ford car. Mr. Finlayson went on to give some examples of how menacing forest fires had been extinguished by the aerial system. in the way of quick action, rushing pumps, etc.. to the scene. The province was divided into dis- tricts for fire protection purposes and each district was under a technically trained forester with experience in the lumber business. All hydroplanes had certain bases and when a fire was dis- covered, a wireless message was sent to the transport planes, which rushed with men, hose, pumps, gasoline, etc., to the outbreak. The people of Ontario had treated the forest as a mine. whereas‘ they should regard it as a crop. All oper- ators, who knew how much they were justified in cutting and what the re- growth .annually on their limits‘was, should govern their cut accordingly. In conclusion, Mr. Finlayson said: “I know that the lumbermen are going through a trying period at the present time but this is one of our great basic industries. It has gone through trying times before. has not failed and will not fail now. You will see that the in- dustry continues in the future as in the past. It is not sufficient for lumber- men to say what is our price or profit. it is far better for them to stabilize their product and seek to cut only what quantity they can sell. It is better to lock to a long period thanm short one. English speaking people could show world leadership and direction in the management of their timber resources. In the past, the motto had been “how quickly can I cut all the timber and get out of the operation and sell the debris to someone else?" Our chief concern should be “what are we going to do to make the lumber industry a permanent one instead of a temporary one. remembering at all times that the wooded areas should yield a regular annual crcp." were well taken care or In hydro power development and for- est protection.

TIMMINS. ONTARIO Mr. Bradette Asks About Appropriation of $700 In the House of Commons last week Mr. Bradette, member for this riding, asked in regard to the $700.00 appro- priated last session for the purpose of having boulders removed from the Por- cupine river. According to the decision of the Speaker of the House Mr. Bra- dette's question was out of order. The incident is recorded as follows in the official report of proceedings (Hansard) page 260, dated Sept. 16th. 1930:â€" Iorcupine River Improvements On the orders of the day: Mr. J. A. Bradette (North Timiskam- ng): On the report of the engineer in the Porcupine district. the sum of $700 was appropriated last session to remove boulders in the Porcupine river. Has any cognizance been taken of that fact by the Department of Public Works? Mr. Speaker: Questions of this na- ture are more properly a matter for the order paper. If you are to open the door to questions of this‘ nature we shall never get on with the business of parliament. Mr. Bradette: Speaking on a ques- tion of privilege. I would point out, Mr. Speaker that this session has been call- ed especially for the purpose of dealing with unemployment. and I would there- fore submit that it is in order for me to ask whether this sum of $700 which was appropriated for work in the Por- cupine district will be expended in or- der to relieve unemployment. Mr. Speaker: The hon. gentleman no more in order now than before. A case of more than local interest to those in the district where tried. was dealt with at Haileybury Division Court last week. The case was a dispute over ahalf ton of coal sold nearly two years ago. It occupied the attention of Judge Hayward in Division Court at Haileybury. It was a case in which the plaintiff sought to recover from the manager of a mine the amount due for a half ton of coal delivered to the mine. The amount involved was $8.55 and the plaintiff, A. E. Campbell, Co- balt fuel dealer, lost the action being dismissed with costs. Campbell sued Goff Smith, who contended the coal was for the Windsor Cobalt mine, which was operating at the time, but which subsequently was seized by the sheriff under a mechanic’s lien. Plain- tiff alleged defendant had said he would pay the bill, but Smith main- tained he had told Campbell he (the dealer) was to send in his bill to the company, and Smith would pay when. the money was received. The coal man said he had refused to bill the com- pany because of its alleged financial status, but finally did at the request of Smith, who was the mine superinten- dent. COAL BILL SUIT IS LOST BY COBALT COAL DEALER Cobalt and Silver Centre have form- ed a league for the playing of cribbage. The crib tournaments are to be played on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. Crib will be played every day in the month and twice on Sunday in the‘local competitions. A General Meeting of the above branch will be held in the Monday, Sept. 29th All New Members who have not been Initiated are requested to be present on this date. Due cards are required to be stamped for 2nd and 3rd Quarters 1930. There will be the usual happy hour after the meeting.

Mr. Needham is understood to be doing the trip to win a prize. The other Trams-Canada trip is to be made by E. Wharton Shaw who will make the attempt in 1931. and whose signs read: Healy F. Needham. of Toronto. Left Hearst Last Week to Continue His Auto Trip Across the Continent Travel- ling Only in Canada. Mr. Shaw's trip is designed with the purpose of advertising the Trans- Canada highway, or. more correctly, giving the idea publicity. In the re- ferences to the Needham trip it was shown that he had made a good start. Last week he was able to get as far as Hearst where he stopped foraday or sol until he got his equipment in shape i It is worth while noting another impor- i tant difference in regard to the 1930: and the 1931 trips. In the case of thei latter it is planned to use the railroad tracks part of the way The Shaw ex- pedition is to avoid the railways asl much as possible and to tiy and getl across Canada all the way under its own power. Whenever it is necessary to use the railway rightofâ€"way the space alongside the tracks will be used instead. and utilizing mechanical methods for making way across counâ€" try. Mr. Shaw's equipment will include a tractor for rough spots in the road- way or where the roadway might be. Canoes will be among the items to be carried, while there will also be mech- anical means for making a raft to cariy the equipment ac1oss w ate1 stretches, an outboard motor being car- ried to supply the motive power to pro- pel the raft. Mr. Needham expects to do little travel except by railroad or roadway. All the equipment he has is a high povx'e1 motor car. Mr. Shaw has ;been all over the route he intends to itake next year, but The Advance has been unable to learn whether or not Mr. Needham has made any prelimin- .ary survey on the ground of the route }he purposes to follow. “Coast to coast in 1931. via Cochrane."' l I According to references from North Bay one of the islands in the Frederickâ€" house river near Cochrane may be said to be “found, missing." John Ferguson, lof North Bay, recently sent an enquiry ,about this island which he owned to lthe postmaster at Frederickhouse in i the township of Clute and the answer he has received would indicate that the island is no more visible. Mr. Fergu- son held a deed of the land on this island. The extent of the island is not included in the information from North Bay. apparently all being too surprised at the disappearance 'of the island to make comments on its size. Mr. Fergu- son wrote: “I am the owner of Island “,"A or Douglas Island, Frederickhouse River, in the townplot of Frederick- ihouse, situated just south of the main line. Will you kindly advise me at I your earliest convenience as to the pre- asent condition of the property? I {think there was a mill situate on it. or [that it was used by some person for a ; considerable time.” Postmaster 1“. Prior {using the reverse side of Mr. Fergu- :son's letter, replied with the following ’brief. yet fully informative message: (“The island you refer to was in front Iof Ninth avenue. It has not been there for about eight years.” ' In The Advance last week reference was made of Mr. Needham leaving Ot- tawa to continue his journey across the continent. He came by way of North Bay, Cochrane, Kapuskasing and Hearst and then on through a new sec- tion of the country beyond. According to newspaper despatches, Needham seems to be under the impression that he will have around 600 miles of road- less wilderness between Ontario and Manitoba. Last week he passed through Cobalt and Cochrane on his way through. Those who have been through the country west of Hearst will say that the work of road-building will not be a serious one. It is also believed that the amount of muskeg will be much less than estimated. Despatches from Hearst last week said that Needham driving a powerful roadster, is attempt- ing to cross Canada without detouring into the United States. At Halifax, N.S., the wheels of his car were dipped in the Atlantic ocean, and he hopes to wash them again in the Pacific some time before Christmas. Accompanied by several hundred peo- ple he drove to the outskirts of Hearst on Thursday last, said farewell to mem- bers of the city council and the mayor then headed his car into the dark for- est. He carries several hundred pounds of trail-making equipment and expects to hew his way through the bush. Muskeg and swamp will face him for 600 miles but on the other side is suc- cess for from then on his road will be clear. ISLAND IN FREDERICKIIOUSE RIVER SAID TO BE MISSING CONSIDER IDEA 0f AGMN HAVING IIMMINS H}. IEAM Question Brought Before Meeting of the Porcupine District Football League on Saturday Evening. Other Matters of Interest Before Same Meeting. The meeting of the delegates and officers of the Porcupine District league :2. sub-committee of the N.O.F.A. was held in the town hall on Saturday last. Much bdsiness was attended to and completed. A full representation was present; chair. A matter of interest to all football enthusiasts was' carried, this being “that the McIntyre-Dome game in the Dickson Cup final stand as played." This was an amendment to a motion asking for a replay. Auditors were appointed to audit the books of the League and the N.O.F.A. A summary read out by Secretary- Treasurer E. Finchen showed that the finances are in very good condition. Medals will be awarded the Dome team for winning out in the district. league and the Boxer Cup series, the medals to be engraved “District League and Boxer Cup, 1930." In a short address W. A. Devine out- lined the advisability of re-organizing and playing a town team. He suggest- ed that perhaps the Canadian Legion might take a team under its wing, as had been done by the Port Arthur branch of that organization. There were other various ways in which the matter could be arranged, and now was the time to commence. Interest in football would be greatly increased, as in past seasons when the Timmins team was playing in the camp. It was decided to mention the matter to var- ious organization and report at an early meeting. Tit-bits, London, Eng.â€"One of the strangest wills on record will soon be filed for probate in Paris. It is that of M. Auguste Pasquier, who has it en- graved on a leg of one of his dining_ room chairs. A smoking concert will be held this fall when the medals won by the teams in the past two seasons will be pre- sented. This was left in the hands of the league committee to arrange. Among those who were present at the meeting were the following:â€"S. Wheelâ€" er. O.F.A., representative; Messrs Jen- nings and Thomson, 80.13.; P. Andrews and Richmond, Dome; A. Odgers and A Snow Cornish; W. Morgan and F. Bennett, McIntyre. Several others in- terested in football were also present at the meeting. A motion of interest to all éoncerned was the bringing forward of the date of the annual general meeting of the association. This will be held on the last Saturday in March in future. J. R.
