(Based on age 30). 114 Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"A huntâ€" er mistook a lifeâ€"long friend for a moss moose and shot him. Old friends sometimes observe things in each other which are not apparent to casual acâ€" quaintances. 4. That the size of the lots be reâ€" stored to the original survey of 160 acres in 6 mile townships and 150 acres in 9 mile townships. These premiums to be paid for a maximum of 5 acres per year on each lot until a maximum of 35 acres has been bonused. And whereas the Government has reâ€" cognized the benefits of the bonus sysâ€" tem by adopting it to aid the iron inâ€" dustry and rural Hydro; Nor therefore be it resolved:â€" 1. That a separate Department of Colonization be established and placed under an efficient Deputy Minister who will be responsible to the Minister of Agriculture for the organization and carrying on of a vigorous and progresâ€" sive colonization policy of judicious settlement of Northern Ontario. (b) $10.00 per acre for stumping grubbing and burning. (c) $5.00 per acre for breaking and seeding. 3. That the following bonus be paid to bona fide settlers: (a) $10.00 per acre for slashing and burning. 2. That Township roads be built imâ€" mediately wherever they are urgently needed. Ontario Government to help them in the work of pioneering in this North. These petitions were largely signed in this district, as well as in other parts of the North. Later, the Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Association was formed at Kapuskasing and this assoâ€" ciation also urged the following out of the suggestions of the petition. Now, the Cochrane Board of Trade has subâ€" mitted a resolution to the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade along the same lines. This resolution will be dealt with at the coming meetâ€" ing of the Associated Boards. It reads as follows:â€"â€" Whereas colonization has been reâ€" sponsible for the present state of deâ€" velopment in Northern Ontario, and upon further colonization will depend the future progress and prosperity of tlus greater and newer part of the province; And whereas the industries in Norâ€" thern Ontario have been going ahead with rapid strides while agriculture has been stagnant; And whereas the greatest prosperity and progress in Northern Ontario will be brought about by a simultaneous development of industry and agriculâ€" ture; And whereas a large proportion of the settlers, have not enough capital, and the price paid for pulpwood is not sufficiently high to enable them to save enough money to live on their farms while they do the clearing; And whereas while it is true that many thousands of dollars have been spent by the Government in the past in the building of new roads, still there have never been sufficient to meet the urgent requirements of the settlers, a great number of whom are yet without roads; And whereas they are now at a time when a greater acreage of cleared land is essential to their existence; And whereas they will be compelled to abandon their farms unless these conditions are improved; Resolution adopted by the Cochrane Board of Trade to be submitted to the annual meeting of the Northerm Onâ€" tario Associated Boards of Trade. And whereas the present settlers Loan system has not met the situation And whereas the lots of 75 to 80 acres are too small for mixed farming, upon which they depend for a living; THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Pembroke Standardâ€"Observer:â€" Maine wants an embargo on Russian pulpwood. Canada needs the same thing. In fact all the civilized world would start well on the road to prosâ€" perity by placing an embargo everything Russia produces. St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus:â€"In front of one of the Toronto churches in Parkdale was the sign: "Subject of Sunday sermonâ€"‘D> you know what hell is?‘" and beneath in smaller letâ€" tlers: "Come and hear our new organâ€" ist." "George Angus, O.LS., of the firm of Angus and Angus, Aarchitects and surveyors, North Bay, left on Sunday for Moose Factory where he will locate and lay out the new town site to be established there. This work is being done by order of the T. N. O. Railâ€" way commission and will probably take three weeks. It is expected that the trip in will take a week, that is a week will be occupied in making the survey, and that the third week will be taken up in the retun to North Bay. Mr. Angus took three men with him from North Bay and will further augment his force from the staff at the crossing of the Moose River. At this latter point he will also get his dog teams, toboggans and suprfies for the trip." The North Bay Nugget laust week saysâ€" The scout law consists of ten laws the first one being: A scout‘s honour is to be trusted. If a scout says, "On my honour it is so," that means that it is so, just as if he had taken a most solemn oath. Similarly, if a scout offiâ€" cer says to a scout, "I trust you on your honour to do this," the scout is bound to carry out the order to the | very best of his ability, and to let j nothing interfere with his doing so. | If a scout were to break his word of honour by telling a lie, or by not carryâ€" ing out an order exactly when trusted on his honour to do so, he may be directed to hand over his scout badge and never to wear it again. URVEYORS STARTED ON SURVEY AT MOOSE FACTORY On Wednesday, February fourth, some of the members of the South Porâ€" cupine troop, all of the Chickadee paâ€" trol and their SM., paid a visit to the Timmins troop. There was the usual programme of about an hour‘s work on scouting, such as signalling, knot tying and baseball. In this game of baseball a ball is not thrown for the batter to hit. Instead a question is asked and he has to answer immediately or is counted out. There was a knotâ€"tying competition to find the four slowest knotâ€"tiers in the troop, the object being to make these boys wash dishes after lunch. There were also several games played and the mseting was closed at nine fifteen p.m. The Timmins troop of boy scouts meet every Wednesday evening at seven jim,. in the basement of the Anglican church. He is then enrolled as a tenderfoot scout and is entitled to wear the butâ€" tonâ€"hole badge. A boy does not stand still in scouting. The opportunity and incentive for progress is always at hand. First a tenderfoot, then a second class scout, then a first class scout, king‘s scout, and so on. The whole sphere indeed of the scout proâ€" gramme is made available by the boy‘s own efforts and the assistance of the trcop officials. The splendid Boy Scout movement was begun within sight of the Tower Bridge over the Thames, London, in 1908 by Lord Badenâ€"Powell, Chigf Scout of the world. The movement in the British Empire which covers oneâ€" fourth of the habitable globe, totals 377,037 scouts, leaders, 34,308 rover scouts, 178,498 wolf cubs and 4,â€" 709 sea scouts. The whole object of the boy scout movement is to seize the boy‘s characâ€" ter in its enthusiastic stage and to weld it into the right shape, and to encourage and develop its individuality. The boy is taught through scouting to become a useful member of the comâ€" munity; by instruction in the various handicrafts he is helped to make a career for himself, and as a boy scout he becomes a member of an organized body which is trained to be of public service when required. Thus a troop or patrol can specialize in different forms of usefulness to others, such as fire brigades, ambulance corps, etc. The good influence of scout training is felt in the home and the school, and its inauguration in a community is invariâ€" ably appreciated alike by the boys themselves and all those interested in the welfare of the boys.

In Canada there are 28,340 boy scouts, 16,814 wolf cubs, 855 rover scouts, 310 lone scouts, 182 sea scouts and 3,985 leaders, making a total of 50,486. A boy on joining the scouts must be between the ages of twelve and eighâ€" teen and puss the following tests before making the promises:* (1) Know the scout law, signs and salute. (2) Know the compqsition of the Union Jack and the right way to fly it. SOME PARTIGULARS OF THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT Port Arthur Newsâ€"Chronicle:â€"Durâ€" ing 1930 there was a gain of 833 tons in the per day capacity of Canadian mills The total rated capaâ€" city is now 4,645 tons daily. As the troubles in the newsprint industry were in development considerably before the dawn of 1930 it looks as if someone was seriously at fault in permitting the subsequent heavy expansion. Sudbury Star:â€"To refer to an inâ€" dividual as "a good listener‘" is by way of paying a high compliment, but it is a compliment scarcely deserved. The "good listener‘" is held in high esteem because of the rarity of the type, not because of any intrinsic merit. The demand is greater than the supply. In 1911 he married Susan Rice Ferâ€" guson, daughter of the late Dr. James Ferguson, Cumberland, Ont. Survivâ€" ing him are his widow, two daughters, Margaret and Elizabeth, his father and one sister, Mrs. Glen White, of North Bay. During the Great War, the late Mr. Kennedy was in uniform, holding the commission of Captain in a Forâ€" estry Battalion. The funeral services will be held in the Presbyterian Church at 2 p.m. on Friday and will be in charge of the Masonic Lodge, in which association the deceased had held the positions of Past Master of the "Blue" Ixxdige and Past Superintendent of Royal Arch Chapter. Interment will take place in New Liskeard Cemetery. The sincere sympathy of a very large circle of friends goes out to the beâ€" reaved family in their sorrow. Friends of the family in Timmins and district will regret to learn of the death last week of Lorne A. Kennedy, son of A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P., New Liskeard. The New Liskeard Speaker last week refers as follows to the death: ‘"The citizens of New Liskeard were indeed shocked to hear, Tuesday night, that Mr. Lorne A. Kennedy, only son of Mr. A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P., had passed away from pneumonia, after but a few days‘ illness. The deceased had been in Ottawa on a business trip and returned home suffering from this disease. The late Mr. Kennedy was born in Maxville, Glengarry County, in 1887, but had been a resident of the north for the past twentyâ€"two yekrs, and a most popular member of the North‘s population, being well known in business centres and having the aptiâ€" tude for making and holding friends. DEATH OF LORNE KENNEDY, sON OF A. J. KENNEDY, M.P.P ERE is the C.N.S. Prince Robert, new liner, which has been described as the last word in shipbuilding, and two views of her interior. She has been described as archiâ€" tecturally faster than the Bremen and she will be a credit to Canada when she takes the Canadian trade and pleasure party from Halifax, sailing February 21, on a 49â€"day cruise *o South American ports, spending 11 days at Buenos Aires, here Canada will have a pavilion on the unds of the sitish Empire Trade Exhibition to be opened by the Prince ~â€" Wales, March 14. L â€"AX TE 5S T "Ontario mines, mainly in the Porâ€" cupine and Kirkland Lake areas, proâ€" duced 1,720,239 ounces or 82 per cent. of the total for all Canada. Quebec has been producing gold for many years but until 1927 the production conâ€" sisted only of the small quantities reâ€" covered in the treatment of other ores. Important copperâ€"gold deposits were discovered, however, and the developâ€" ment work already completed give3 promise of a substantial volume of production. The output increased from 8,000 ounces in 1927 to nearly 139,000 ounces, in 1930. Manitoba also gained prominence as a gold producer in 1928 with a total output of nearly 20,000 ounces. This was increased over 27,000 ounces in 1930. British Columbia and the Yukon territory were long imporâ€" tant for their gold production. British Columbia established a record of more than 288,000 fine ounces in 1902, which was equalled only in 1913. This proâ€" "Further, the maintenance of such high level of production under the adâ€" verse conditions of 1930 is striking eviâ€" dence of the soundness and underlying strength of Canada‘s mining industry." Taking up the gold production, the Royal Bank letter says:â€" "In 1930, for the first time gold proâ€" duction exceeded two million ounces. This is more than double the output of 1921. There are good praspects for further expansion as there are still many developments pending, involving the increase in the productive capacity of existing mines, and exploration work is continuing in promising areas. Canâ€" ada has become an important factor in the world‘s supply of gold, her producâ€" ticn having been exceeded in recent years only by South Africa and the United States. The output in the United States has been falilng off and some time ago the forecast was made that by 1932 Canadian production would be greater than that of the United States. The total ocutput in the United States in 1930 is officially placed at 2,â€" 232,593 ounces. If the production of the Philippine Islands is deducted from this total, however, Canada already ocâ€" cupies second place in gold production. ‘"Mineral production in Canada showâ€" ed greater expansion during the deâ€" cade just closed than any other major branch of industry. The total output of Canadian mines was valued at $172,â€" 000,000 in 1921. This increased to a total of more than $310,000,000 in 1929. The industry shared the effects of the prevailing business Gepression and operations during 1930 were curtailed in many fields. As a whole, however, mining continued to progress and proâ€" vided one of the greatest stabilizing influences in business during the year. New records are established in both the quantity and value of gold, petroâ€" leum and natural gas produced." In a recent address here Hon. W. A. Gordon, ‘"Minister from the North," and in charge of the Dominion Dept. of Mines referred to the stabilizing inâ€" fluence of the mining industry in Canâ€" ada during these days of depression throughout the world. Hon,. Mr. Gorâ€" don quoted facts and figures to prove his statements and showed the valued of the mining industry to Canada‘s general welfare. The same period is made by the monthly letter sent out by the Royal Bank of Canada. The Febâ€" ruary issue of the Royal Bank letter says, in part:â€" After referring to the production of copper, zinc, silver and other metals, the letter continues:â€" New Records Eâ€"tablished in Both the Quantity and the YValue of Gold Produced in the Dominion During the Past Ten Years. NOTABLE EXPANSION IN PRODUCTION OF MINERALS Lower left, smoking room, showing Canadian moose head. Lower right, a cabin, typical of the modern art put into this new unit of the Canadian merchant marine. It is expected that 200 members will take the cruise. Senators, members of Parliament, a representative of the Dominion Government, professional men, manufacturers and many who are merely pleasure tourists are among those who have already reserved space. â€" The party will also include a representative of Sir Henry Thornton, president of the Canadian National System. vince now stands second to Ontario as a producer with an output of 163,300 ounces in 1930. The Yukon producâ€" tion in 1930 is estimated at more than 38,200 ounces." A this week from Engleâ€" hart says that struck by a piece of clay which had become disloedged as he was climbing the face of pit. Herbert Watson, who lived on a farm in Robilâ€" lard township, was instantly killed Friâ€" day while at work for the Northerm Deâ€" velopment Branch in a gravel pit in Chamberlain township. For soms unknown reason, Watson returned alone to the section of the pit where the gang first had been working and started to climb the bank. He was some distance from the bottom when the clay broke loose, struck and killed him and carried his body down with it. An inquest will be held. Watson was awhout 30 years of age and unmarried.
