In the solos, duets and quartettes by members of the choir, the numbers were particularly pleasing and the vocal artists especially effective. The quarâ€" tette, Messrs Jago, Docking, Bawden and Toms, as usual delighted the audiâ€" ence with the selections given. These quartet:e â€" numbers _ included:â€"‘"The Riches of Love," and ‘"Calvary‘s Brow." The tenor solo, "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life!" by T. Williams was a popular selection, on the evening‘s programme that won very great approval. The bass solo, "The Song of the Lighthouse Bell," by Percy ‘Harris, proved beyond question that in this vocal arilist who has recently come to the camp, the disâ€" trict has acquired a singer of remarkâ€" able talent and effectiveness. The duet, "Flow Gently, Deva," by Messrs C. Roâ€" berts, Jr., and P. Harris was another number that won very marked approval and applause. The programme included the followâ€" ing selections by the Schumacher Unitâ€" ed Male Choir:â€"‘"Up with the Jolly Roger, Boys"; chorus, "The Martyrs of the Arena"; part song, "On the Banks of Allan Water"; part song, "Comrades‘ Ssong of Hope"; closing chorus, ‘"The Hallelujah Chorus." Each of these selection was given with a talent, expressiveness . and musical â€" finish that greatly pleased all lovers of at the Abitibi Canyon. Here is a letâ€" tler in regard to this Matter. There should be general int:;éést in the letter in question. It was writen by an oldâ€" timer of the Nozth Land and reads as follows:â€" To the Er’,n:or of The Star. Sir: HMaving read in your paper few Aays ago a statement by an official of~the Abitibi Power and Paper Co. t none of the employees were let out at the Abitibi canyon and that the work was up to schedule, I wish to say I worked for four months on construcâ€" tion there, and was one of nine hundred that were let out. I am not aware what their schedule was but I do know that work progressed slowly. There were more accidents and deaths at ‘those works than on any construction I ever worked on.. Timâ€" er is purchased in B.C. and the lumâ€" ber in Le Pas, Man., and shipped green. This will be a benefit to Khe railroads.

When beard and the doctor‘s fees are deducted the balâ€" ance is about $1.75 per day. North Bay,. Ont. O.W.K. The programme concluded with "God Save the King," led by the choir. In mentioning the programme special credit should be given to the talented director of the choir, Reg. Bawden, and to the effective work of the accompanâ€" ist, W. H. Wilson. Though production of around $65,000 at Howey Gold Mines during the month. of May is slightly below the record, perâ€" ton costs are believed to have set a new low pint last month, R. T. Birks, preâ€" sident, told the press this week, accordâ€" ing to press reports. Mr. Birks, with other Howey directors, has just returnâ€" ed from a short visit to the property. Fraser D. Reid, manager of Conlagas Mines, has been formally installed as Howey general manager and after he has had an of sizing up the situation, will issue an interim report on oprrations and conditions First word from Mr. Reid is expected in about a week‘s time. Foilowing some slight rearrangement, handsorting equipment will be placed in operation, probably early in July, Mr. Birks siated. Visiting directors were well satisfied with conditions at the mine and are awaiting Mr. Reid‘s report with interest. Asked regarding the report that Howey had acquired additional ground in the district, Mr. Birks replied that eleven claims had been staked for the company last fall but that so far no work of importance had been carried out on this group. Though other proâ€" !perus in the section show conside:â€" able promise, development is still in the early stages. 4 COMPLAINT REGARDING WORK AT THE ABITIBI CANYON There have been several references in The Advance to conditions, wages, etc., HOWEY COSTS PER TON NOW CONSIDERABLY REDUCED jleasing wa la rozramme of outstanding interâ€" d merit was given in the United h.

S. L. Honey ocecurled the chair â€"Last week the body of an unknown man was found in the bush near Driftâ€" wosd. Ths Cochrane Northland Post in referring to the discovery of the body jumps to the concilusion, in the heading of its article, that it was a case of suicide, but the information in its own article does now prove this to be so. At the pressnt moment the chief requirement seems to be to learn the identity of the dead man. Anyon@ knowing of any person missing should check up on the information given in describinz che man found. The article in The Cochrane Northland Pcost reads :â€" Body of Unknown Man is Found in Bush in North "Word was received by Coroneér Tucker and the Provincial Police on Monday afternoon, that the bady of a man had been discovered lying in the bush at the edge of the C.N.R. right of way some six miles west of Driféwood. Sergeant Gardiner, with Constaples Pretorious and McCulloch, and accomâ€" panied by Coroner Tucker, went to inâ€" vestigate, and found the badly decomâ€" posed body of a man, about five fest nine inches in height and dressed in sood clothes. The topy of the deac man‘s head had been blow off, and lyâ€" ing near the feet was a twelve gauge shotgun, with both karrels discharged. The body was clothed for Winter, which would indicate that it h beene lying where it was found for some months, and identification was rendered most difficult by the dearth of personal effects which consisted of merely a watch, a cigarette package, a small match box and a handkerchief. The only clue was sbtained through the name on the tailâ€" or‘s label inside the suit coat pocket which exposure hald renered almost illegible, but which was finally deciphâ€" ered as being Tooke or something much like it. A watch fob and belt buckle also displayed the 1@ter T. which would indicate that the wearer‘s surname beâ€" gan with that letter. The wearing apâ€" parel consisted of a "camel hair‘ coat, a light grey suit, high overshoes and a light grey fedora. Efforts are being made to confirm identification and anâ€" tecedents of the dead man." OVEROSE OF ATROPHINE IS GIVEN AS CAUSE OF DEATH The adjourned inquest into the death of George Goodfellow, formerly of Timâ€" mins, was held at Cobalt on Monday and the jury brought in a verdict to <the effect that death was due to an overâ€" dose of atrophine sulphate. Goodfelâ€" low was an assayer and had been on the staff of the Telluride Mine. He went to Cobalt last month, and on May 13th he was found dead. Near him a bottle that had formerly been filled with the drug, atrophine sulphate, was found. It was believed that he had used the drug as a sort of "pickâ€"meâ€"ur!‘ and that he toock an overdose by misâ€" take. This was evident:y the opinion of the jury, as well as of Goodfellow‘s friends.

Freight Train Wrecked at Driftwood Last Week The Cochrane Northland Post last week says:â€"*"Early Wednesday morning the west freight from Cochrane to Kaâ€" puskasing, leaving Cochrane about eight o‘clock, met disaster at Driftwood, eighteen miles west of here, when the flanges of the forward trucks of a freight car snapped off and the trucks recde over into the gravel and stopped. Each succeeding se of stopped up dead when they came to the first set but the cars on travelling until seven cars were piled up in a heap. The eighth car had the forward trucks torn off, with cther damages but did not roll over. Two of the cars containâ€" ing sulphur were consumed in flames, making it very unpleasant for the vilâ€" lage, and a couple of the others are total losses. The first sulphur car burst into flames ithmediately and the walls cf the second broke when the crane was lifting it out of the road and its conâ€" tents soon caught. A car of automoâ€" biles and one of sugar were in the cars that were wrecked. "According tq reports about thirtyâ€" seven tramps were on the cars which _tled up, most of them riding on the rsof, as the morning was warm and bright. Nearly all were thrown clear with the impact but many of them susâ€" taingd painful injuries One man had his eye knocked out and ran for the bush and has not been seen since. "Deotor Paul rushed out to render fir:t aid as soon as word reached here and had seven taken to the Cochrane hosyiital, where one died yesterday. Two more are very serious and may not live, from latest reports. The wreck cccurâ€" ed just at the siation platform, the wheels of several cars in a heap and the cars themselves are th a pile exâ€" tending for a hundred fest or more. torn off, w nost roll ove ing sulphur making it 1 lage, and : "The wreck, when viewed by us on Wednesday, presented a sorry spectacle, with the cars resting at all angles and positions across and along the main track. The rails were twisted into all shapes, as if they were wire, and trucks are almost completely buried in the sand. The wrecking crew were able to clear a couple of the cars away from the passing siding in order to let the trains go by and the local which was due here at ten thirty in the morning came in at supper time, as did No. 2. The passing track was a stroke of forâ€" tune for the railroad, as an accident of this kind on the main line in any other place would have cripred the service for a day or two. "None of the crew were injured, alâ€" though one is said to have been thrown out cf the window of the van without mishap. A passenger in the van susâ€" tained minor injuriese when he was knocked against an obstacle as the van came to a sudden stop. "Quite a number of the townspecple moj:ored out to view the sight, as soon as word was received of the wreck. This is ‘the second excitement in one week for Driftwood, the first being the suicide found a couple of days previousâ€" 1y.," To Survey Routes for Northern Road Hon. Wm. Finlayson Says Survey to be Made of Three Routes and Locaâ€" tion of Highway Decided on Its Merits. Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, was on a tour of the North Land last week, and before returning to Toronto made an imporâ€" tant announcement in regard to the Transâ€"Canada highway. Mr. Finlayson in effect said that the thiree routes specâ€" ially urged would all be duly considered, surveys would be made of each of these three routes, and then the whole quesâ€" tion of the location of the proposed Transâ€"Canada highway through this North Land would be decided on its merits. to the proposed "compromise" route. Reconnaissance parties are being orâ€" organized at the present time and surâ€" veys will be proceeded with at the earâ€" liest possible date. The muchâ€"disputed question of the location of the proposed Transâ€"Canada highway through Ontario will be deâ€" cided on its merits. This will entail at least three reconâ€" naissance surveys, one to examine the propaosed location west of Sault Ste. Marie, along the shore of Lake Superâ€" ior, another to examine the proposed northern route, from Nipigon East to Hearst, and a third to give its attention This announcement was made ati Sudbury on Sunday by Hon. William Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forâ€" ests in the Ontario Government, at the close to his annual tour of the Nort country. Mr. Finlayson was accomâ€" panied by Dr. W. H. Fyfe, recently apâ€" pcinted principal of Queen‘s University, James MacDonell, general manager of National Trust Company and chairâ€" man of the Board of Governors at Queens, Fred McKelcan, general counâ€" sel for the National Trust Company, and his son, R. W. Finlayson. The Ontario Government through the Department of Lands and Forests will undertake a complete survey of the various alternative routes, with a view to determining the cost of construction and value from settlement and tourist standpoints. Last year Mr. Finlayson pointed out, the Ontario Government spent between seven and eight million dollars on imâ€" provements of roads in Northern Onâ€" tario. Up to date this year, including Winter work undertaken for relief purâ€" poses, last year‘s expenditures had been exceeded. By the end of this year the improvement of the Ferguson highway south of North Bay would be completed. As a result of the year‘s work the mileâ€" age from Severn to North Bay wou‘ d be reduced by 15 miles and level crossings would be eliminated. Cochrane, Timmins, Kirkland Lake, New Liskeard, North Bay, Hearst and Kapuskasing were all touched on the minister‘sâ€" tour. The party also made the trip over the new extension of the T. and N. O. railway as far as the new bridge over the Moose river and visited the Abitibi Co.‘s works at the Canyon. Hon. Mr. Finlayson announced that the road from Cochrane to Hearst is now open and the trip could be made by motor quite easily. At Kirkland Lake he met a delegation asking for an exâ€" tension of the Larder Lake road as far as the Quebec boundary. At Noranda he was informed by the city courcil that assurance had been given by the Quebec Government that they would build west from Noranda. In all probability the connection beâ€" tween the Quebec mining metropolis and the Ferguson highway will be comâ€" pleted this year. Questioned regarding the Governâ€" ment‘s plans for coping with unemployâ€" ment in the newsprint towns of Espaâ€" nola and Surgeon Falls, the minister said that while no definite announceâ€" ment could now be made he was in hopes that some relief would be found in the near future. "Negotiations between the Governâ€" ment and the newsprint companies are still going on. We have had several meetings and there is another on next week. Iam in hopes that we will have some of the idle mills working on part time at least." ment anc still goin meetings week.
