Dean Number 88 “At the same time that the boys were hurrying down to raise an alarm. As- sistant Superintendent A. Belzile, be- side the threshing separator, noticed the menacing smoke and rushed to the office to phone an alarm over to town. The fire was actually noticed by citi- zens before the whistle sounded, so quickly did the flames mount through and above the barn. Messrs Ballan- tyne and Belzile directed the hurried evacuation of the valuable young live stock quartered below. Some of these gave trouble because of their panicky state, but all were at length removed and secured. “Meanwhile the large chemical ex- tinguisher at the farm had been used, bu: it could not check such a large outbreak, and the fire spread to the feed room. The Kapuskasing fire bri- gade soon arrived to lend their utmost aid. and the forestry department rush- ed over portable fire pumps which soon had streams from the nearby river playing on the surrounding buildings to save them. The fact tha; it was an almost windless sundown saved the situation considerably, otherwise a gen- eral conflagration of most of the farm buildings might have resulted; with a chance that sparks would also carry, across the river to the paper mill’s large block p'les. at once scrambled for safety: They made their exit safely, but it was only a matter of a minute later that the mow was an inferno. “Threshing had Jusn started on Tues- day, and the day's work wen: along without eventuality until about five minutes before quitting time. when Superintendent Ballantyne went up to the mow to see if the straw from the blower was being distributed right. His ten-year-old son Teddy was with him, also Jacques Belzile and two o.hex~ boys, sons of a farm hand. Mr. Bal- lantyne noticed nothing wrong, and descended. The boys remained behind to gambol in the sweet-smelling new straw._as youngsters love to do. Tedâ€" dy Ballantyne noticed a. cloud of smoke. come up through the hay from the silo underneath. and he and his companions !(‘OCD Silo Fire Destroys Kapuskasing Barn A WM "With startling suddenness, fire swept through the hay mow of the large cat- tle barn a. the Experimental Farm on Tuesday night a few minutes after six o‘clock. when the threshing machine had just shut down after blowing feed into the mow. Spon:aneous combus- tlon arising from the new season sil- age is the only account-able reason for the fire. which could not be checked until the cattle and the horse barns were comp'etely razed. “Four boys providentially escaped from the mow after they noticed the belch of smoke tha: preceded the rag- ing blaze which followed, sweeping through the whole upper part of the barn. The ruins smouldered for two days afterwards. “The buildings destroyed were oi modern type. with cement foundations. In the dairy barn milking machines were employed, and everything was kept spotlessly clean. Every year thousands of visitors walk through the barns at milking time to admire the fine animals and their surroundings. Over four hundred tons of hay and cattle feed were burned; running the tozal fire darnageup to perhaps $30.- 000. “The Dominion government does not insure its buildings, carrying its own risks. As soon as word of the fire was heard at Ottawa, the authorities tele- graphed for particulars of the dam- age done. Superintendent Ballantyne is drawing up estimates for replacing the lost buildings, and it is anticipated that authority will be received to pro- ceed without delay on the reconstruc- tion work, as they are essentially apart of the farm and cannot be dispensed with." Preliminary announcement is made that. the Northern News Fifth Annual Relay Race will be held on Saturday, October 3rd, at Englehart, where a one mile course through the town is being laid out. The first. year the race was run between New Liskeard and Cobalt. the next. year i‘; took place in Kirk- land Lake. New Liskeard was the scene the following year and last year Mon- teith Academy were the hosts. FIFTH ANNUAL RELAY RACE AT ENGLEHART.

While there may be some question of the pro- priety of the Union Jack being carried at the head of such an aggregation, the fact remains that the by-l'aw re- quires i-t, and it should be enforced. By permitting this second omission police have placed themselves in the position of having their courage brought into the question. One of our sister towns in the North has refused absolutely to allow parades at all, and quite candidly, we see no reason why last Saturday's parade was held, much less allowed. None of the banners car- ried in the parade asked for work or help. and though we have had complete sympathy for those unemployed who have been seeking in vain for work in the past, we believe that the govern- ment having expressed its intenzion to provide employment in the near future, there was no need or reason for the parade on Saturday. The only effect was to further antagonize the citizens.‘ 12 months. An average of 1,940 tons a day was milled against 1,299 tons. In each quarter of the past year a sharp gain in output was made over the pre- ceding three months and in the quarter ended June 30 output, was valued at $2,737,935. an average of $912,645 a month”. NO SENSE IN CODIMUNIST PARADES BEING FEATURED N'E‘V RECORD IS CREATED BY THE LAKE SHORE MINES Word last week from a visitor in town from the Matachewan camp is to the effect that a rather promising look- ing vein has been encountered in sur- face work being carried on at the Jake Davidson claims of the McGili Gold Mines, Limited.

This pro~ perty is located in 'l'yreu township and is said to be the most interesting of the newer deveIOpments. Publication of the results of this drilling ‘has caused quite a stir of interest in the Tyrell township properties: “Little information has been forth- coming lately about developments at the Ashley. Drifting results at the 125 and 250-foot levels are stated to be quite satisfactory, however, and one report states that assays have exceeded even the results of the drilling. About 125 feet of drifting has been completed on the first and about 150 feet on the second level. Drifting on both levels is being continued"‘before proceeding with further depth plans, according to company officials. a depth of eight feet, but owing to the depth of the overburden progress with surface exploration has been slow. The owners, Sam and Hugh Kell, are re- ported to have negotiations afoot for disposing of the property, but so far no particulars have been revealed. “Reports of a. new vein carrying gold having been found on the Bruce Banâ€" nockburn Syndicate property in Argyle township. is now being investigated.

MINERAL PRODUCTION IS DOWN 12 PER CENT. IN ONTARIO Despite the fact than; gold production in Ontario for the first six months of 1931 constituted the grea:est on record, general mineral production for the half-year showed a decrease of 12.4 per cent. as compared with the correspond- ing period in 1930, according to a report issued at Toronto last Friday by the provincial department of mines. The Mail and Empire sayszâ€"“Fav- curable ore developmenzs are reported in connection with work at Lakeland Gold Mines. by O. L. Knutson, mine manager, who has just returned from the property. The shaft is now being deepened to 150 feet. A good vein, the mine manager states, was encountered in the shaft at a depth of 60 feet and continued for some 20 feet before it dipped out. Later a second and un- expected vein was picked up slightly below 80 feet and is still being followâ€" ed. Officials look upon this new find as of special importance." The total value of mineral production from Ontario mines, smelters and quar- ries was $50,997,740. as against $58,- 236,562 in 1930, a decrease of $7,238 822. Gold was the bright spot in provin- cial mining operations, production hav- ing reached a total of $20,608,195 and the report states that there is every indication that the output for the full year would be well over $41.000,000 in value. Value of the gold produced in the first half of 1930 was $17,337,123. Meta-1 production decreased from $43,535,966 in 1930 to $28,352,872 in 1931. Non-metallic firoduction dropped from $4,200,596 to $4,144,868. “The overproduction or- undercon- sumption of metals is well reflected in a survey of the average metal prices," says the report. “As compared with last year, copper has droppad 40 per cent. in market quotations; lead and zinc on the London market were down 34 per cent. Silver showed a decrease of almost 47 per cent. in value.” The Northern Tribune last week said: “Water in Northern lakes and rivers is reported unusually low this season, a condition prevalent all over the con- tinent and in many parts of Europe. Some industries have already been crippled by enforced curtailment of power. The Spruce Falls paper mill has come through fairly well so far. but the water level at Smoky Falls has now reached such a low figure that it is said any further recession will mean shutting down one of the paper ma- chines at Karnskasing. There seems to be promise in the skies these days that we will have a good rainfall. but you never can tell.“ RAINS THIS “’EEK SHOULD HELP POWER SITUATION Formation of a travelling medical board was urged in the report of the Service Bureau Committee, which was unanimously adopted. It was pro- posed this board should function in the cases of veterans who were domiciled in the United States. The present system of examination of pension applicants by the United States Veterans' Bureau was said to have proved unsatisfactory. Establishment by the Dominion Gov- ernment of Old Soldiers’ Homes where veterans could spend their last days in peace and comfort was recommended. The evening session saw a great mass of business rushed through, including a resolution advocating that notice of all Government positions vacant in the Province of Ontario be sent to Legion branches concerned. A number of other resolutions which had been sub- mitted were referred to the Dominion conventionuwhich will be in session at Niagara Falls this week. It was pointed out that there are at present 15,000 veterans of 60 years of age or older in Canada, many of them homeless and without relatives. It was also recommended that the preference hitherto given returned solâ€" diers in the Federal Civil Service be extended and adopted by provincial and municipal authorities. Introduc- tion of a scheme of contributory un- employment insurance was urged and also increases in the income and suc- cession taxes.

This page in the history of coloniza- tion is being repeated today as aviation brings within the lanes of world travel land areas which a few years ago were as useless to man as a submerged island in the Antarctic. When the barren shores of Green- land within the Arctic Circle possessed no recognized value they were to be had for the taking. But after several polar, transoceanic and round-the- world flights had used them for land- ing places Norway and Denmark de- cide they both wan; them and have valid claims to them. Denmark claims the whole of the island; Norway main- tains ownership of a part of it on the ground of actual occupation. It may seem like figh'Jng over a dry bone. but should air transportation be- tween this continent and Europe ever become established on a large scale Greenland would become an important refueling base on the short route over the top of the world and the nation controlling it might find it both pro- fitable and strategic.
