Chatham â€" News:â€"A contemporary says the good old days were those when meals were opened with a blessing inâ€" stead of a canâ€"opener. Word of the rather remarkable reâ€" union of two brothers after not seeing each other for 29 years comes from Haileybury. Leo Erenhous, wellâ€"known in North Land mining circles recently visited his brother, Dr. Otto Ehrhardt after a separation of 29 years. The bFothers had not seen each other since Leo as a boy of 15 years bade goodâ€"bye to Otto when the former left their German home to seek fortune in the greater world outside. In the meanâ€" time, Dr. Otto had become head of the Chicago civic opera, and when anâ€" nouncement of this appointment was made over the radio some months back, Leo, in Haileybury, chanced to be listening in, later getting in touch with his brother by telephone. It was not until last week that the brothers were able to arrange a meetâ€" ing. The difference in their surnames is explained by the fact that the family name is Ehrhardt Erenhous, and that, for convenience in travelling in other lands, each decided to drop half of the name, Leo, as the older, taking Erenhous, and his brother beâ€" coming Otto Ehrhardt. During the lorg separation of the brothers, a sisâ€" ter, Mary, who is an English newspaper correspondent in Germany, heard of Leo‘s mining activities, and, with the aid of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, got in touch with him in Northâ€" ern Ontario. Subsequently, Leo had visited the old home in Breslau, but Otto had gone by that time, and Leo knew nothing of the other‘s whereabouts until he got the news by radio broadcast last Fall. Both brothers have travelled extensively since leaving Germany. Leo has been round the world several times and had engaged in a variety of occupations beâ€" fore settling down in Haileybury. He has been in Canada since 1905. Otto had travelled over most Europe as a reproducer and director of operas beâ€" fore coming to the United States. He intends going back to Europe at the end of the present season, but will reâ€" turn later to the United States, as he likes the western world. THE STANDARD COUPE THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO Sudbury Star:â€"A correspondent inâ€" quires if posthumous works are those a man writes before or after he is dead. Mr. Lee concluded the interview by reiterating his belief #what the current year will prove to be a particularly prosperous one for Northern Ontario. He deplored the tendency on the part of some to lean to pessimistic views when, as he said, 1931 is commencing to unfold as one of the most promising years in the history of the North. Questioned as to the plans of the | commission with regard to the Mataâ€" chewan goldfields, Mr. Lee stated that the mining and construction engineers of the railway are in close and constant touch with developments. Speaking of the railway, generally, the chairman said it has been decided to expend $450,000 in excess of the usual expendiâ€" j tures on maintenance work during the | course of the present year. This will take care of a programme of work that will cover all branches as well as the: main line. | ~suthern shore of James Bay can be reached. This is indicative of a healthy interest in the openingâ€"up operations now in progress he found. Asked if a definite decision had been reached in connection with the erection of a hotel at the terminus, Mr. Lee said this had been discussed at length with the Premier and it was agreed to continue investigations for another two months. The same applies to the proâ€" posal to boat service on James Bay out of the railhead terminus. Both matters will be inquired into further and sgain discussed within the next two or three months. Mr. Lee ventured an opinion to the effect that within two years‘ time the James Bay terminal of the railway will becomse the base for all subâ€"Arctic aeroplane operations. He added that a party of Cleveland people, headed by Dr. Newcombe, would make a trip to Moose FPactory this winter, using dog teams from the present temporary rail terminus at Moose River. He also said many letters of inquiry are being reâ€" ceived soliciting information as to how Moose Factory and other points on the Chairman Lee had just returned from a conference with Premier G. S. Henry en contemplated plans for the railway and the terminal for the fuâ€" ture. The ocean port terminals of the T. N. O. Railway, including the townsite to be established along the shore of James Bay, opposite Moose Factory, will commence to take form during the coming summer, said Mr. Lee. The chairman stated that the Premier had readily approved of the townsite plans which provide for the subdividing of a tract seven miles in length and three miles wide north from Revillion Freres‘ post. He added that this area would include a site for an immense pulp mill which, it is pracâ€" tically certain, will be established soon after the railway extension has been completea and shipping facilities established. The work of surveying and subâ€"dividing the townsite area will be started early next summer and everything will be in readiness for the advent of the railhead during the closâ€" ing days of the summer season. The railway commission will own, control and sell the town lots with moderate building restrictions. It is understood that an immense pulp mill will be established at the terminal of the T. N. O. railway at James Bay as soon as the railway is completed. It is said that the mill will follow immediately after the compleâ€" tion of the line and the establishment of shipping facilities. In an interview at North Bay last week Geo. W. Lee, chairman of the T. N. O. Railway commission, explained that there are almost limitless pulpwood areas in the tracts through which course thirty or more rivers which feed the Moose River. Terminal of T. N.

Writing in The North Bay Nugget last week, "Observer" says:â€" on the lake in the early afternoon. With him on the trip were Kelly Edâ€" mison and Norman Stein, also of the company, and the party had intended to go to Kirkland Lake, but the snow storm interfered with their trip and they stopped over to wait for better weather. On the trip up from the city the party encountered what they termâ€" ed both extremes of weather. When they started the day was bright and not a cloud was to be seen, but as they came north the weather changed and at North Bay snow was falling and the weather was becoming bad for flying. On their arrival over Haileyâ€" bury, they decided to land and stop over night or until the weather cleared. The National Air Transport has been operating between the Bannockburn mining area and outside points during the fall and early winter. About two weeks ago the plane that was in use was taken to Sudbury district where it is stationed at the present.

Has no Objcction to a Few Hills, They Add to Scenery. There is another letter this week | (rom H. A. Preston in reference to the proposed read from Timmins to Elk Lake. Either Mr. Preston has missed the chief points in the article on which he is basing his references to this road, | or else he is deliberately evading them fcr no other apparent reason than that he is now living at Elk Lake. The article appearing recently in The Adâ€" vance, in which reference was made to. the hilis on the road between Elk Lake and Matachewan camp emphasized the immediate need of a roadway from Timmins to the new gold camp in Maâ€" tachewan not so much to let people get in to the new camp as to provide conveniences for the prople staying in the new camp. The article in question did not conceal the fact that access was given to the new camp by the road from Elk Lake but it was emphasized that all sorts of supplies for the unew camp would be needed and these could not be secured at Ek Lake, while they are always obtainable at Timmins. As noted previously in The Advance the contractors on the big works north of Cochrane have found that they can obtain supplies of practically any kind in Timmins, while other towns in the North are not able to provide so wide a variety of the things needed. On account of the fact that for years past Timmins has been the purchasing centre for large minâ€" ing and lumbering industries, this town carries a large range of all kinds of supplies. .Any mining concern could secure all its wants here, and this is scarcely true of any other centre in this part of the North. For the conâ€" venience of the new mining camp the road from Timmins would be of very particular benefit. The other main point made was the fact that while prospectors have access from the south to the new mining camp, there should be access also for the prospz2ctors of this area. Mr. Preston for years has earnestly advocated a belt line of roads for this Northâ€"such belt line being achieved by the completion and linkâ€" ing up of a roadway that would run from Timmins to Sudbury. As The Advance has*t repeatedly pointed out, had this roadway been built years ago as it should have been, Timmins would have access to the Matachewan field, and so would Sudbury, and the new mining camp also would have the imâ€" mense benefit of having ready access to these two large centres for the purâ€" chase of supplies, etc. No one surely believes that Elk Lake can supply the needs of the new mining camp in this way. The Advance would like to see Elk Lake prosper as a result of the new mining camp in Matachewan. It will likely do so, but at the same time there is no use disguising truth or seeking to evade the facts. The Advance beâ€" lieves that for the advantage of the new camp and its swiftest development the road from Timmins to Matachewan should be completed at the earliest possible date. To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins With these few opening remarks, the latest letter from Mr. Preston is pubâ€" lished herewith. It is very interestâ€" ing letter from many viewpoints, deâ€" spite the suspicion that it creates that Mr, Preston now would prefer to make haste slowly on the building of the road from Timmins to Matachewan until Elk Lake may have a chance to reâ€" habilitate itself. EIlk Lake Ont.., Jan. 3l1st, 1931 say most of them can be cut down and the road be A 1 to Timmins. If my friend, that old prrospector, means that theroadfrom'l‘immmsisformose at Timmins and nearby, I agree with him, as it would be asking too much to expect Timmins to travel to Elk Lake, and why it should be built is because Matachewan is just in the centre of all the great towns. Each one should |have its road. The contract for over 300 tons of freight has been let and will go by Elk Lake. For years there has been freighting going on, so if it can be done with the road in the conâ€" dition it now is, it will be better when the road is put in right condition, and then if Timmins is connected, anyone going south will be delighted. I myâ€" self think a few hills won‘t hurt. in fact, they will stop a lot of those selfish speeders who think other careful drivâ€" ers should let then have long stretches of good road to race on. Here is hopâ€" ing the road will run right to Sudbury up hill, down hill, and long stretches of level parts. If there were no hills our American tcurists couid not see far. scme hills help to make the bette?. DENXY STORY QF RIOTS AT BURWASH PRISON FARM The jail physician and one nurse carried on unaided until Thursday night of last week, but when the nurse was overcome by the disease a hurry up call for assistance was sent out, and a doctor and two nurses arrived Thursâ€" day night to assist in the care of the patients. Officials at the Burwash Industrial Farm treat as a joke scareâ€"head stories in a Toronto daily newspaper that "Burâ€" wash inmates riot as flu hits prison." Only four or five men were concerned in the soâ€"called "Riot," Supt. J. K. FPairhall told the Sudbury Star, and the trouble consisted simply in a demand from the men for better food. Cobalt has a new chief of police who is ncot a new chief so far as ®obalt is concerned. The new chief is Aaron Parcher, who was formerly chief of police of Cobalt for several years. He took over his new duties, which are old duties to him, on Monday of this week. Such demands are not unusual, the superintendent said, as where a total of 563 men are incarceraied it is only natural that compvlaints crop up from time to time, and there was nouthing out of the ordinary or significant about the cecurrence over the weekâ€"end. About 200 inmates of the jail farm are suffering from influenza. FPifteen guards are down with the disease, as well as a number of the wives and families of the jail farm officials. Supt. Fairhall was one of the first sufferers, and was unable to attend to his duties at the farm for several days. Sergeant Turner and Assistant Sergeant Eaton were also sufferers. "I know the two men who were reâ€" sponsible for the story," Supt. Fairhall said. ‘"‘They had been inmates and were released, and returned to Toronto. We will be watching for them when they return."
