It is remar â€"able, however, how selâ€" dom and for what comparatively short periods there is any interference with the electric light and power service. In the past fifteen years in Timmins there has been only one break of any moment in the light and power service. That was about eleven years ago when for four or five days and as many nights the light and power was off in the district owing to a serious injury to one of the big dynamos at the power station. The service given by the light and power company has certainly been most commendable. There should be little serious grumbling when the service has had so few interruptions in so many years of good supply.

There are, of course, reagonable explanations of the fact that The Star headed at least one of its pages with the name of The Toâ€" ronto Telegram. The most attractive explanation for the moment is simply to say that Hon. Mr. Ferguson has sucâ€" ceeded so well in confusing the blinking Star that it has written itseif a Telegram. It is far safer to play tag with a buzz saw than to try to take a fall out of Hon. G. Howard. Friend E. C. Drury could have told The Star that much. The candidates in the South Lanark byâ€"election are:â€"E. R. Steedman, Conservative; W. T. Ferguson, Independent; R. Running, Independent. Death truly awaits the paraâ€" grapher who says:â€""‘There are three candidates in South Lanark election campaign but only one of them is Running." Hunters returning from the area north of North Bay say that the woods bear eloquent evidence of the ravages of the wolives. The bush is fairly littered with the carcasses of deer, very evidently destroyed by the wolves. Not a rabbit can be seen, these little animals being destroyed or driven away by the evil activities of the wolves. The wolves, too, are blamed for the scarcity of partridge. Very evidently the authorities have allowed the wolf to become the real monarch ipf the Northern bush. He is devouring or driving away all game animals. One hunter indignantly referred to the fact that restrictions were placed on sportsmen in regard to the killâ€" ing or deer and other game, the actual result of the restricâ€" tions being that so many more deer and other animals were ‘e‘ft for the wolves to destroy. "If the deer ore to be all killed off, why not let the hunters have the pleasure, instead of letting the wolves carry on perpetual slaughter of the wild game?" he asked. It is very apparent surely that someâ€" thing should be done at once to stop the evil and senseless killing carried on by the wolves. The remedy seems to be in giving so large bounty for the killing of wolves that those pests of the forest will themselves be killed off. The scaying of Jack Miner still holds true that it is either a case of the wolves or the deer. The two can not exist at the one time and in the one country. Surely no one shcould hesitate tn whirh <hould be allowed to live and prosperâ€"the deer thing should be done at once to stop the evil an killing carried cn by the wolves.

The two can not exist time and in the one country. Surely no one shol as to which should be allowed to live and prospe ;men are willing and anxious to work toâ€"day, and are cerâ€" | tainly entitled to fair treatment and proper consideration. QThis is particularly true in regard to Government works such as the building of this transmission line. The Governâ€" ment should show an example in its treatment of men. Ths | Advance believes that the Ontario Government is most deâ€" isirous to set such an example and treat its employees fairly. | A foreman like the one referred to makes a decided blost on the picture. Men toâ€"day have trouble and work enougn in l their search for employment, without smartâ€"alecks adding to | their difficulties. In their anxiety to secure any sort of work, |men mzy accept jobs that they cannot carry through. Ordiâ€" %nary employers of labour are kind enough to recognize this fand guard against it, with the minimum of hardship to the \man out of work. Surely the foreman for the Government | S 4 s . s will show the same consideraticn and the kindness some men who were taken cut to one of the Hydro tric camps for work on the power transmission line being ecnstructed under provincial auspices to bring power from the new development at Abitibi Canyon to Sudbury, appear to have been shabbily treated by one of the foremen. This fnreman is said to be the same one who was showing discrimâ€" imaticn against local men and preference for those from Sudbury and cther cutside places where he was known. It would appear to be a good idea if this particular foreman might be greatly benefitted and those employed by him cqually advantaged if he were out of employment himself for a while just to learn how men feel on such occcasions. ‘Theon, if he ever secured further work as a foreman, he might have sympathy and ccnsideration for others. It seems that this foreman on the recent occasion referred to engaged a number of men for his camp. He kept them for a day or so, not long enough to know whether they were suitable or not, and then he is said by the men concerned to have told them to get their axes and proceed to the other camp. After a long walk the men arrived at the new camp only to be told that for ten or so of them the camp he meant was back to hTimmins and out of a job again. It is all right to say that some men cannot do the work required, and others will not work fairly, but the fact remains that the vast majority of services wWiil SNHOW U that pays in the end It is to be hoped that with all the talk about the route for the Transâ€"Canada highway, the Ontario Government has not lost sight of the fact that the belt line of roads for the lNorth should be completed by the finishing of the roadway between Sudbury and Timmins, thus giving Sudbury a close ‘connection with the Transâ€"Canada highway or the proper }route for the presentâ€"by way of the Ferguson highway and west from Cochrane, Kapuskasing and Hearst to the Nipigon country,â€"as well as linking up all the towns and communiâ€" ties of the North by a road system. Cochrare is planning to spend $5,000.00 this winter for the gravelling of the roads in the town, a similar amount being expected from Government sources, the work being designed to relieve unemployment in the town. Cochrane has become noted recently for the number of unemployed in its midst, and for some years past the town of Cochrane has been equally noted for its muddy roads. The ten thousand dollars Officials of the Dominion Government have reported that there is no possibility of a commercial fish industry being established in connection with Hudson‘s Bay, because there are no fish there in commercial quantities. Cochrane people will be inclined to suggest that such a report indicates igâ€" norance of the facts and that the Ottawa officials should go back and hunt up the schools in Hudson‘s Bay. s Ladies! You know how lazy and shiftless the old man is! Well. this year you have a good excuse for not bothering him about the storm windows, the cleaning of the furnace or the other odd job. There are scores of men in town who are unemployed and who would appreciate a day‘s work or an hour‘s work. These unemployed men would find that odd job about the house a great help to them in keeping them going until more permanent work is secured. Just call up the Government Employment Bureau, phone 218, Timmins, and you can secure a man to do that necessary odd job withâ€" out having to wait or to coax or bully the man of the house.

FAMILY AT COBALT FLEE FROM FIRE IN NIGHT ATTIRE Ten persons, seven of them children, had to make a hurried at midâ€" night on Saturday when fire broke out in the vacant portion of a twoâ€"storey dcouble frame house on Cobalt street, Cobalt. Hot ashes, placed against the outside of the cellar wall are believed responsible for the blaze. Chief Wm. Stinson said. The lower floor of the uncecupied dwelling was badly damagâ€" ed. In the occupied half of the buildâ€" ing, Adrien Parisien, his wife and their seven children, the oldest 11 years of age, and his father, vacated their home in scanty attire but only slight damage from smcks and water was done.

Waters, M.L.A., has declared himself in sympathy with the movement, and may attend the meeting. The meeting will be of>n for the fullest discussion of the best p‘an cf procedure, but proposals have bzen drawn up as a basis for dasterminaticn. A very small fee of $1 per annum 1s menticned, which would be supplementâ€" ed in varicus ways to carry on the work of the association. The active spirits behind the movement think that sendâ€" inz a delegation to Toronto might be advisible during â€"the winter, to present to the cabinet the recommendations of the association; and many other acâ€" tivities are contemplated. Should the movement spread, provision will be made for the affiliation of outside branches. A possible cutcome would be the creaticn of a settlers‘ association covering all Northern Ontario, but this wceuld probably take some time. Among the subjects to be discussed tomorrow affernoon are slashâ€"burning, bonuses for land clearing, pormits for pulpwosd cutting, winterâ€"gravelling on roads, reâ€" storation of 160â€"acre lots, transâ€"Canâ€" ada hishway, etc." ENDORSATION OF POPPY DAY CAMPAIGN EFFORTS Ssaturday, Nov. 1st, will be Poppy Day 5 in Timmins, the event being under the auspices of the Canadian Legion. Leading people here are giving very acâ€" tive support to Poppy Day because of the double good that comes from it. The poppies are made by disabled sold â€" iers at Toronto and so every LBIY ce . mm mm mm sold means a benefit to the crippled veterans who ars paid for the poppies they make. The surplus cver the cost of the poppies goes into the lecal reâ€" lief funds of the Legion, so here is anâ€" other advantage. In the past few years the local branch of the Legicon has done remarkably fine work in the helping of returned soldiers and their deyi:ndents. This coming winter the calls will no doubt be greater than ever in this reâ€" spect so the response on Saturday should be as generous As possible. Timmins and district will no doubt do the best possible to make the 1930 Popâ€" py Day a notable success. From Ottaâ€" wa this year comes word of the special attention being given Poppy Day this year. The acting premier, Hon. Geo,. Perley, has given special attenticn and endorsation of Day. So> has Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, the leader of the opposition. A letter written this week by Hon. Mr. King to Mrs. A. J. Freiman, (sister of Mrs. A. J. Shragge, Timmins), is worthy of note. Mrs. Freiman is the general convenor of the Poppy Day campaign committee. In his letter to Mrs. Freiman the former premier and present leader of the opâ€" position, says:â€" W "I cannot permit the occasion which mas come to be familiarly known as Pop;\/ Day, to pass without a word of commendation to you and those assoâ€" ciated with you, for your efforts on beâ€" nalf of the disabled soldier and his deâ€" pendents. I can imagine no cause more worthy of public interest and support than cne which thus seeks to bring asâ€" sis:ance to those who have served their country well. I heartily congratulate vou cn your continued interest in this endsavour, and sincerely trust thal Poppy Day may again be accorded the large measure of success it has enjoyed in former years." Mr. L.

In th: case cf new fields like this a road is citen more advantageous at first than a railrcad. This week that oldâ€"timer of the North, H. A. Preston, is forward with the proposal that a road be built right away from Timmins south to Maâ€" tachewan. Such a rosd would servo many useful purposes and would also form part of the q41°0posed DeILL in roads for the North. Mr. Pre writes as follows:â€" To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins Dear Sir:â€"If a highway from Dean Lake north is going to be built through the forest reserve where millions of dolâ€" lars‘ worth of white pine timber will be threatened with fire, why would it not be a good idea to open up all the townâ€" ships south of Timmins to the new Matachewan gold find, as there is very little timber of value in this area and fire can not do much dam#Wge. If this were done it would mean some new gold mines and lots of employment. Why build highways where this is risk of losing millions cf dollars, and at the same time keep a big minsral area clossd whers there is no risk of big losses and everything to gain, includâ€" ing the relief of unemployment. Build the Ferguson route, and also open these townships and it will mean millions for the Gcvernment and a living for thousâ€" ands. Thus save the country where the Ferguson routt townships and it v the Gcvernment al ands. Thus save timber is plentiful.

One Sunday morning in late sumimer, the people went into their little chapel to attend mass, with gratitude in their hearts. Out of the forest swarmed a multitude of mice. For two winters. the heavy snows had protected the:n from their natural enemies and they thrived and grew into fantastically exâ€" aggerated families. When they got the good people into church, they went on the rampage. Over the fields they swarmed, into the grain, into the garâ€" dens they swarmed, eating, eating, eatâ€" ing, and swarming on, still eating, down to the sea. In vain the settlers cried for the Pied Piper to come and deliver them. They were eaten almost out of house and home. This is no legend. It is part of the wealth of Canadian history into which Merrill Denison, the <playwright, has delved to get material for the series of Canadian radio plays which will be broadcast by the Canadian National Railways‘ transcontinental chain this winter. . The story of the plague cf mice will be one episode and the others will touch on all aspects of the colourâ€" ful story of the Dominion. NEWSPRINT STITUATION IS DIFFERENT TO OTHER Despatches from Montreal this week | say:â€""wWith the September figures of Canadian newsprint output and shipâ€"| ments out of the‘wayâ€"the situation beâ€" | ing quite a normal one in being someâ€" | what below the August totalsâ€"and with | the month of Oltober well advanced, it seems probable that it will be Novemâ€" | ber before any real improvement will | be noted in the business of the Canâ€" pdian companies. Ordinarily sp°aking in the month of October a sharp upturn takes place in the demand for newsâ€" print, with the increase in advertisingz and the programme for extension of business in line with the Christmas season. This year, however, there has been very little in the way of a seasonâ€" able gain in production and sales durâ€" ing the month of October. The upâ€" swing appears to have been delayed for perhaps an entire month. Various 'newsprint companies, however, have been notified of a larger demand for November and this will improve the genâ€" eral situation. As an illustration of thns usual change that takes place between Seritember output and that of October, ‘it might be noted that in September, 1929, production of Canadian mills amounted to 227,665 tons, which was increased by over 24,000 tons to a total for Octcber of 251,914, a gain of nearly 11 per cent. Two years ago, Septemâ€" ber cutput was 185,059 tons and this was increase to 216,602 tons as the outâ€" lput for October, a gain of nearly 31,500 tons.
