Dollars Grow Paul Bunyan‘s Work at Sawdust River There is a reader of The Advance who is making a scrapbook of all the references he can find to Paul Bunyan, the famous lumber boss of the Canaâ€" dian North. Tradition has it that Paul Bunyan was the first man to come to this part of the North Land but that not being interested in mining matters he overlooked all the possibilities but those of lumbering. This smrapâ€"book making reader looks to The Advance to supply more than the occasional referâ€" ence to Paul Bunyan so The Advance is giving herewith the story of Paul Bunyan and the Sawdust river, This historical record is from "Grab Samâ€" ples in The Northern Miner last week, and reads as follows:â€" How the Redoubtable Paul Cut | Timber Growing Upside Down on the Inverted Mountain. NORANDA EARLTON ® VILLE MARIE When Paul Bunyan had logged off Controllingy and Operating : Last year the mines of Northern Ontario were responsible for elevating Canada to secord place among the gold proâ€" ducing countries of the world. This year Ontario alone will produce as much gold as the entire United States, formerly the world‘s second ranking producer. New camps are developing and no limits can be put to what Northern Ontario‘s mines may accomplish. Possibilities of . the new Quebec field are equally boundless. Contributing to the progress of these mineral fields and the general advance of the territory is Canada Northern Power Corporation Limited serving them exclusively with electrical power. Reflecting the increase in gold outâ€" put in the first six months of the year, was a rise in the Company‘s output of power of 14%. As the mining industry continues to develop, as the broad territory it covers continues to move forward, this great utility must continue to expand and advance. _A ue NortH CounTRY goes steadily forward, moving with giant, assured strides. The last decade was a momentous one for the territory. The present is witnessing yet more signal achievements. Customers of Canada Northern Power Corporation will shortly be given an opportunity to share in the future growth and prosperity of the utility which serves them through the purchase of the Company‘s 7%, Cumulative Preferred Shares on easy terms.

ENCLEHA” T tm away they went over hill and valley until they reached the Leaning Pine country. The Big Swede explained to the crew the method of operation. They were to start on the north end and cut the trees which were selfâ€"skidding, falling down row on row and rolling into the Hot Water river which skirted the mountain. Now, both Paul and the Big Swede had figured out the logging scheme to a nicety, but they did not investigate the Hot Water river very closely and as a result there was a serious hittch in the season‘s work. When the time came for the drive, the logs were started off with Paul riding on his raft directing operations. For nine days they went down the stream and suddenly Paul noticed that the front end of the drive had caught up to the rear. He sent the Big Swede to investigate and they found out that the river ran in a circle. This was catastrophe, the wirse since the winter of the Blue Snow, but Paul was not stumped. ; "He decided to saw the logs tight there, and to do this he set up his famous nineâ€"storey saw mill. He sent Johnny Inkslinger, his bookkeeper, out to the outside with orders for machinery and saws. The Blue Ox hauled them in. The band saws and circulars ran through the whole nine stories and logs were sawed on every storey. The sawdust was blown into the circular river and in time filled it solid. Paul, to amuse his men, brought in race horses, which followed this perâ€" "The Blue Ox was harnessed, the camps, cookeries and sheds were t ed together, the Ox hitched on the Onion river country, he and the Big Swede, his foreman, made a jourâ€" ney in search of new woods to conâ€" quer. They happened on the Leaning Pine country, where the trees stood in lines all along the slope of a mounâ€" tain. Each and every pine leaned in northerly direction and the mounâ€" tain range ran east and west. These were ideal conditions for Paul and his crew. He and the Big Swede reâ€" turned in high good humour and anâ€" nounced to the gang that the camps would be moved forthwith.

The only trouble he had all summer was with the hinges on the smokestack, which had to be lJowered to let the clouds go by. "That was the year that Paul had trouble with rations. The men got tired of sourdough, moose and hbear meat and began to grumble. Coming along towards fall there was a lot of kicking and to relieve the situation Paul figured out a scheme for a change of grub. He took his tarpaulin, which measured three by six townships, carâ€" carried it out to the North and spread it carefully on a plain. He and the Big Swede stationed themselves at each end and waited. The fall migâ€" BWV ASTIKA TIMMINS sent for the crew, had them dig a chamber in the apex of the mountain, raise a shaft to its level base in the clouds, and then he sent up the Blue Ox. Murphy Murphyson, the blackâ€" smith, made a scraper which the ox dragged around for a week, stripping the soil from the roots of the pine. Suddenly the trees began to fall into the plain below and all the axemen had to do was trim off the limbs and roots and skid the logs, which were piled high to keep the remainder of the mountain in place. This was the first invention of the shrinkage stoping method, erroneously attributed to Couâ€" sin Jack Jones in Utah years later. ration of black ducks came along in the dusk and mistaking the great, white, dewâ€"sprinkled canvas for a lake, landed for the night.

Por a whole week the crew feasted on duck and to this day there is a Black Duck week in Dakota. seen, but the trick would be to cut it. He had climbed the trees from the tips to the roots but couldn‘t figure any method of cutting them without felling the axemen to the plain with them. Paul pondered this problem for three day and three nights and then set out for the inverted mountain with the Big Swede and Johnny Inkslinger. The three of them marched around the mountain for a week, noting the beauâ€" tiful growth and hungering in their loggers‘ hearts for a means of getting at this timber. Paul had never been beaten before by logging problem and in the end he solved this one. He sent for the crew, had them dig a "At the end of the season the Blue Ox hauled out the season‘s cut, which was bored into nutmegs and sold in Maine. The sawdust river is being mined today for Dustbane. "Late that fall Axel Axelson, Paul‘s timber scout, came back with a wonâ€" derful story of a mountain that stood on its head. He said the inverted slopes were covered with a wonderful growth of timber which grew down inâ€" stead of up and overhung a level plain. The pine was the finest he had ever "That was the winter that Flap Jack Slim, Paul‘s cook, invented the doughâ€" nut, but that story will have to wait for another week." Dominion of Canada Claims Leadership Years ago The Advance published @a monthly blotter with the heading :â€""He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted." The blotter was an intimation to business men to tell the world about their wares, their service and their leaderâ€" ship, if any. What applies to indiviâ€" duals may be said to apply more or less to nations. At the moment no one is saying much about Canada‘s place in the world, so a few words about this country may well be conâ€" sidered as of some interest and valâ€" ue. A statisticallyâ€"minded Canadian, has made list of places in which Canada claims leadership. It may be noted that the statisticlan has nor taken Canada‘s mineral resources into much amaccount. Canada can claim leadership in many lines of mining activity and the prospects are that this Dominion will soon have other lines in which the claim for world leadership will not be easily disputed. For instance, standing in sound place in the production of gold Canada can add that to the list of leaderships. The greatest producer of nickel in the world, having 80 per cent. or more of the world‘s supply of the metal surely gives claim for a place among the leaders. However, here is the list as complied by the staâ€" tisticallyâ€"minded gentleman referred to. Canada claims leadership in Aerial survey. National parks. Deepâ€"sea fisheries. Wheat championships. Electrical development. World‘s largest dry docks. Railway mileage per capita. World‘s largest buffalo herds. Per capita generation of power. Highest grade wheat standards.

Objects to North Land Not Receiving Credit Sir,â€"We, in New Liskeard, are just about fed up. We are raising amaâ€" teur champions that other towns and cities are claiming. For instance, Mary Vandervel went to school here, graduated, had all her training here in the town which is her home, but when she wins an Ontario ship and is second in a world‘s comâ€" petition the Toronto papers claim her as a citizen of their own. Other papers say she hails from North Bay or Haileybury. Marjory Frisby, anâ€" other champion, also trained in her home town of New Liskeard. In fact both of these girls trained under the able direction of Mr. Craven of this place, but some of the city papers have the effrontery to say that Miss Frisby was under a capable trainer in the city. A daily newspaper in one of the towns or small citiee of Northern Ontario is said to have started a feature that has considerable originalâ€" ity and certainly has the promise of an unusual amount of interest. This is the plan of publishing at regular intervals a column of letters of reaâ€" ders from other papers, as well as the column of letters from its own readers. Letters from readers are nearly always of interest because they attack problems from a new viewâ€" point and one often different to that of the newspaper in which they apâ€" pear. Letters in other newspapers ate frequently of very particular inâ€" terest because of an extension of the idea mentioned in regard to new viewpoints. Also it should not be forâ€" gotten that if all the letters in all the newspapers were to be published in the one immense column at any one time a careful survey of them would give the popular consensus of opinion on most of the questions touâ€" clhed upon. There was a letter pubâ€" lished last week in The Toronto Mail and Empire, for instance, that voices a very common feeling in this North Land in regard to the way some Southern towns and cities steal any credit that may occasionally come to this North from those who live much farther below the height of land. The letter in question is written to The Mail and Empire by a New Liskeard man, and is as folâ€" 1ows : â€" To the Editor of the Mail and Emâ€" pire: Even the Mail and Empire is not above reproach for although you are usually pretty fair, there are some times when wou are not too accurate for instance, the report of the Tipâ€" Top Air race on the front plage toâ€" day, you give the impression that Norman Miller won the race for Peterboro, as a matter of fact, Mr. Miller won the race in a plane owned by Mr. Montgomery of New Liskeard for whom he has been fiying for the past three years While it is true, Mr. Miller was born in Peterboro, he is now and has been for some years resident of New Liskeard. Of course you correct that impression in the supplement, but most people will remember only the first account. This week The Advance received the following letter for publication:â€" Timmins, Ont., Sept. 15th, 1931 To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins. on, buy wood, and light and clothes, and this winter is going to be a fierce one. A person will need lots of warm clothes. No person can sit under a tree in Timmins in winter Old people living with their sonsâ€"inâ€"law haven‘t any picnic. The most of them would rather not have them around. So to my mind and to lots of others, it should be increased to $20.00 a month. That would give them something to buy clothes with. In reply it may be said that so far as The Advance said the government have no intention of discontinuing old age pensions. There may be cases where the inspectors suggest cutting off individual pensions. The present maximum pension is $20.00 a month, but there are many not receiving that amount. All will agree that the mimâ€" mum pension should be at least $20.00 per month, and many feel it should be increased beyond that. Also, there is a growing feeling that it would be a lot better if the travelling inspectors centred more on the interests of the old people rather than side issues, such as red tape. LETTER URGES INCREASE IN THE QOLD AGE PENSION When advertising the North, the Government map, did not even show the town of New Liskeard, a town which has been a leader while other towns of the North have followed. It is the most stable town in the whole of Northern Ontario and will be fiourishing when some other towns I could mention are subject to the pick and shovel of the antiquarian.
