South Porcupine General Auto Repairs Body Work and Painting 44 BRUCE AVENUE RVICE STAT ION The Towing Car is at Your Service (Most Upâ€"toâ€"date Garage in the North) sOUTH PORCUPINE Phone 15 Meaford Mirrorâ€"In this age it is astonishing how many car"t dGrivers think they know something about a horse at the fall fair. The Northern News last week said :~â€" "After an alleged allâ€"night party at her home in Tachereau St., Rouyn, recently, Mrs. McDonald had som« words with her husband and in a deâ€" spondent mood took poison. In the afternoon Dr. MacDonald was callec and on arriving there found that Mrs. McDonald had taken an overdose of poison of some kind in pill form. Dr. MacDonald immediately took the woâ€" man to the office where he rendered preliminary medical attention. She was then rushed to the hospital where she received treatment. Dr. Macâ€" Donald said that one grain of the poison taken was enough to kill anyâ€" one and that the woman had ably taken eighty. By taking such an overâ€"dose was likely the reason that she didn‘t succumb immediately. Mrs. McDonald has since been disâ€" charged from the hospital." "The magistrate held that it was mnot a case of receiving money by false pretences as there were no false stateâ€" ments. If Stockless were an unemâ€" ployment agent, a different aspect would be given the case. The charge under the Secret Commissions Act might have been laid, he said, but in this case he could not do anything but dismiss the charge." ROUYN WOMAN TOOK VERY LARGE DOSE OF POISON "John Cimprich stated he knew the accused had taken the money from Skull, as the transaction had taken place on the same day he had paid the sum of $60 for the same purpose. He had no receipt and stated Stockâ€" less had asked for $50 but the extra $10 was given as a present. He adâ€" mitted that the accused had also told him the money was for the purpose of treating the "bosses." This last admission was again told when J. Wracha)j gave evidence. In his case he had paid the sum of $50. "Skull testified through an interâ€" preter that he paid Stockless the sum of $55 in the month of July and exâ€" hibited a reczipt for the money. For this amount he said he was promised job though he wasn‘t advised on how it would be done. After the job was secured a second instalment of $25 would be paid. The witness said that when the recipe was made out Stockless used the words "for loan" instead of "for job." Crossâ€"examined by the accused Skull said he was told the money was to pay for a treat to the "bosses" and he had agreed to pay the expense of the drinks. The first complainant against Stockâ€" less was Jerry Skull, whose lack of knowledge of court procedure caused a smile to go round the court room. Given the Bible to swear he would tell ‘"nothing but the truth, etc.", Skull walked away from the witness stand with the book. He was recalled and then proceeded to study the pages of the book. In the third attempt to have the oath administered, the witness enacted the necessary oscuâ€" lation. "The presence of a vicious "racket" in Kirkland Lake was again revealed at the local police court session on Thursday last, when unemployed men attempted to buy jobs in the local mines. A charge of obtaining money by false pretences was preferred agâ€" ainst Stanley Stockless but after the hearing of evidence of three men, Maâ€" gistrate Atkinson held that the case was not proven and dismissed the acâ€" tion. Recently the town of Kirkland Lake has been excited over the alleged disâ€" covery of a traffic in jobs. Eventâ€" ually the matter reached the police court. Here is a story of the case as given by The Northern News last week in its police court report:â€" At different times there have been} suggestions in different parts of the: North that jobs could be purchased. It is said that foreigners in gensral hold the idea that it is necessary for them to put up money before they; can secure work. There have been a couple of cases of this kind in p:)llce. court. It may be noted that the gen-i eral feeling is one â€"of extreme bitterâ€"| ness against any man who would profit by the misfortune of ancther through being out of work an be-’ cause of the intensity of the feeling | against the selling of jobs and the| question as to whether half the storâ€"| ies told along this line have any real truth in them, there has always been a dispupsition to give the accused the benefit of any doubt, as the charge is so serious from a public standpoint that it would be a pity to take a | chance of having an innocent man! bear the burden of an alleged There is a general feeling that there is trafficking in the sale of jobs in this country, but also it is felt that some of those accused of complicity in the work are innoceont of any wrongâ€"doing, while others carry it on because it was the custom in their own country and because they think nothing really can be said against it. In the meantime it must be said that the general public have few excuses to offer for any who use influence or position to improperly secure employâ€"| ment for others while their real I;ur-, pose is simply to secure money for themselves. Claim They Bought | Jobs at Kirkland In Police Court, However, Aceused is Acquitted of Charge Laid Against Him.® No Evidence to Convict, Says Magistrate. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO °/ trainman was heard to say. Then a ° pistol shot was hear. That was the 0: last straw in making some of the peoâ€" @a‘ ple on the stalled train believe there O"‘ syrely had been a holdâ€"up. There °Y was much discussion as to how the ‘ holdâ€"up men had worked the game, but ©2 / when a couple of men went out bravely to see what was what they found there ‘ certainly had been a holdâ€"up and that d | the pistol shot was more or less conâ€" er | nected with the holdâ€"up. The facts of °~ |the case were discovered to be as folâ€" E lows:â€"When the train was about a 39§mile from Rouyn a horse got on the "~ / track and was struck by the train. 2/ This held up the train all right. The ‘"? ) horse was badly injured, so badly in °) fact that it had to be shot to put it is ; out of its misery. The mail clerk was m5}delegated to use his revolver to kill althe horse. He fired the gun and the " / nassengers hearing the noise naturally t. | concluded there was some sort of holdâ€" up. The horse on the track was either n too frightened to move away from the *) train or else it became confused and Y ‘moved in the wrong direction. At any ‘Y |event the engine struck the poor aniâ€" " ) mal, and ran over one of its legs, pracâ€" ir l tically severing the lower part of the L | tee from the rest of the body. Since 1925 specimens of live buffalo from the herd at Wainwright have been shipped to France, Belgium, South Africa, United States, New Zeaâ€" land, Scotland, Australia, Italy and Holland and in addition to the stockâ€" ing of other parks such as Elk Island in Alberta, where a small herd of these animals is maintained it is now proposed to establish about twenty buffalo on a 400 acre reserve in the new Riding Mountains National Park in Manitoba where also mojse and elk will be placed. on Canadian National trains and guests at Canadian National hotels have been served buffalo deicacies on their menu. In addition to the number of animals. killed, severa: thousand young buffalo have been shipped from Wainwright to Wood Buffalo Park in Northern Alberta, where some years ago government ofâ€" ficials discovered the only remaining wild herd of wood bison on the Conâ€" tinent. These young animals were loaded into specially reinforced catâ€" tle cars and hauled over the Canaâ€" dian National Railways from Wainâ€" wright to Waterways, on the Norbhern Alberta Railways, and from t.herel were transferred by scow down the Clearwater route to Fort Smith, NW.T. where they were given their liberty under the eyes of government warâ€" dens.. This herd of wild buffalo has increased raridly, and at the end of March this year it was estimated that there were from 12,000 to 15,000 aniâ€" mals at liberty in the wood buffalo range. The young plains bison appear to have merged into the original herd of the larger wood buffalo and conâ€" siderable interbreeding of the two species has taken place. The transâ€" ferred animals have developed rapidly in the new area, where there is plenty of natural forage under both summer and winter conditions, and thus Canâ€" ada has restored the buffalo to its former pastures where the wholesale killings of preâ€"railway days had deâ€" cimated the once great herds. e ie This is not the first time that it has been found necessary to reduce the Wainwright herd. On several ocâ€" casions, large numbers of animals have been slaughtered and their products have been marketed, with the result that Canadian householders, travellers Canada‘s buffalo experiment, which resulted in building up the greatest herd of wild bison in the world, has been watched with considerable inâ€" terest. Some years ago the Dominion Government purchased a herd of bufâ€" falo from halfâ€"breed on the Flathead Indian Reservation in ‘Montana, and had these animals transferred to Wainwright, on the main line of the Canadian National Railways, where an immense area of prairie parkâ€"land was surrounded by a strong fence, and the animals were given their liâ€" berty within the enclosure. From that beginning Canada has developed the greatest herd of wild buffalo in the world, and at the end of March this year there were more than 6,000 anâ€" imals in the Wainwright preserve. To this number has since been added the annual increase of about twenty per cent. with the result that the park is again overtaxed as to its grazing possibilities and thinning out of the herd has ‘been decided upon by the National Parks Branch, which conâ€" trols the buffalo experiments. Must Again Reduce Great Buffalo Herd Buffa‘lo steaks, tongues and tails, delicacies which figured on the plainsâ€" man‘s menu in Western Canada many years ago, will again be available for Canadian householders and for diners in hotels and dining cars of the Canâ€" adian National Railways, according to an announcement from Ottawa, reâ€" ceived by the Canadian National Railâ€" ways, that ancother 1500 animals from Canada‘s great buffalo herd at Wainâ€" wright Park are to be slaughtered in the late fall or early winter. Passengers on a C.N.R. Rouyn train recently believed there had been a reâ€" gular holdâ€"up of the train. The train stopped in a section away from houses or people and the trainmen could be heard discusing something in subdued voices. This is a regular holdâ€"up one Accordingly Buffalo Steaks, Tongues and Tails will be Available Again on C.N.R. When Annual Kilâ€" ling Takes Piace, MEARD PISTOL SHOT AND THOUGHT TRAINX HELD UP The next holiday will be Armistice Day, Nov. lith, which will be observed by returned soldiers at least.

J. Shragge Limited. "HOSTESS SECTION" ADDED TO THE EATON GROCETERIA According to an announcement elseâ€" where in this issue A. J. Shragge Liâ€" mited are holding at their store, near the Imperial Bank on Third Ave. a unique showing of the latest styles of dresses, new over from the leading designers in the word‘s fashion centre, Paris. This is the showing of Blackâ€" shire dresses. Though originally anâ€" nounced for last week, a postponement was necessary through their desire to give the people of Timmins an opporâ€" tunity to view the last word in fashâ€" ion‘s decrees for fall and winter. Acâ€" cordingly the advertisement elsewhere turn," writes Archdeacon Fleming, "when we were caught in a heavy thunder storm. Mr. Dickenson, who is full of humour, seized an old discarded iron wash tub lying by the roadside, and used it as an umbrella, much to the amusement of the rest of us, who instead made haste to find refuge in the small wooden hut that acted in lieu of a station." UNIQUE SHOWING OF PARIS DRESSES AT SHRAGGE‘S STORE During his visit in this section of the country, Archdeacon Fleming met the Hon. Charles McCrea and his party, among the latter J. G. Dickenson, genâ€" eral manager of the O‘Brien mine at Cobalt, of whom he relates an incident that came under his notice. "We had almost reached the railway on our reâ€" The writer recognizes there is anâ€" other side to the question, for he goes on to ask if, "on the other hand, would ordinary Canadian workmen labour as these men do under such conditions? Certainly, the foreigners‘ ‘ways‘ would not suit the ordinary working man, and hence the average Canadian will not work with them, neither will they alâ€" low a Canadian to be amongst them. To them, he is out of class, and they very soon make conditions such as force him to leave. The problem of these foreigners is one which will reâ€" quire careful consideration in the imâ€" mediate future. It furnishes but one more example of how closely the naâ€" tions are linked together." Continuing, the archdeacon writes that "they are paid at the rate of 30 cents per hour, and the company arâ€" ranges quarters and meals for them. They work long hours, and therefore although the rate per hour is very low the actual money received per wesek is high. One man was killed the day beâ€" fore my arrival at the bridge. He came from Central Europe, and had sent over six thousand dollars to his relaâ€" tives ‘at home‘ the previous week. The question comes to beâ€"with unemployâ€" ment facing so many in Canada, are we justified in allowing these ‘foreigâ€" ners‘ to monopclize this railway conâ€" struction work?" employment is dealt with in another article of the series being written for The Canadian Churchman by Archâ€" deacon A./L. Fleming, prominent Angliâ€" can minister, who in the current issue of that publication continues his imâ€" pressions of a trip through this section of Northern Ontario. In the latest item, Archdeacon Fleming relates an account of his visit to the work along the T. N. O. James Bay extension, Questions the Use of Foreign Labour The relation of the unnaturalized laâ€" bourer to the general question of unâ€" Writing of the North Land in The Canadian Churchman, Archdeacon Fleming Makes Reference to Many Points of Interest.
