No sooner has one thrown off his pack for h lunch rest than three or four of these curious and lmpudent bundles of feathers will ap- pear as if by magic. perch on the nearest possible branch and with a bright and anxious eye survey the pre- parations. It is an all-year-round dweller in the spruce woods and in winter is the sole visitor to the lumber dweller in the spruce woods and in winter is the sole visitor to the lumber and mining camps. “To say that the “whiskey jack" is bold is to put the case with moderation. It is positively brash and its proclivities for intruding on other people's business has often caused it grief and confu- sion. It will alight on a man's shoul- der. or feed from his hand and its ca- pacity for food is enormous. Its nervi- ness gets it into trouble, naturally. The writer has seen men put out a piece of cheese on the gorund. place a small box over. propped up with a stick. to which a string is attached. The whiskey jack arrives pronto. makes a three point landing and tackles the bait; the man at the and of the string gives a yank and the bird is a prisoner. When two or more are captive the cruel woodsman ties them together with a shoe lace and lets them go. They fly off, tangling themselves on limbs and blaming each other. The whiskey Jack vocabulary is extensive, profane' and expressive, and it is employed on such occasions to the fullest extent. “A more amusing and less damaging trick is to tie a string to a long bacon rind; the other end of the twine is fastened to a big stone. In due course the bird gets the rind down his throat and takes off for another vantage point. He flies the length of the tether and ,is jerked back as though he were on the end of an elastic band. Some- times he loses the bacon rind but, un- dismayed, he tries again. It is hard to phase a whiskey jack. "The other night a prominent mining engineer spoke of an experience in the bush near Rouyn with one of these pesky birds. He and his partner were using an old camp overnight. Appar- ently the previous occupants had been kind to the jacks which appeared at the first sign of life in the morning, very tame, to see what they could see, on the hunt for a free breakfast. The engineer stepped out of his cabin with his false teeth in one hand and his tooth brush in the other. Down came a whiskey jack and seized the teeth. whisking off into a tree to examine his prize. “All morning I followed that bird through a swamp," said the en- gineer. "and do you think he would let go? I heard him trying to eat those teeth for hours. Finally he gave up in disgust and dropped the set." “The whiskey jack quarrels mightily with the squirrels and chipmunks, all three of them being excellent scolds. It is diffith to determine which is the offender, because the bird hides food as well as do the two animals. It is suspected that they raid each other’s caches. Sitting around a noon camp a man will see the birds flock in, grab anything they can get, hike to the nearest tall tree and are back looking for more in an instant. It is fairly clear that they are making hay while the opportunity lasts, that they cache the food temporarily and eat it at greater leisure. I‘he Bird of a Bird, Named “Whiskey Jack” in North “Amongst woodsmen there is great curiosity about this bird. The writer has never met anyone who has seen its nest of its young. It is said that it breeds in February and that the nest is a long trough of bark and twigs, filled with down and feathers in which the young are covered from the cold. It would be typical of the obstreperousness and general cussedness of the jack to run counter to the practices of all others of the feathered tribe by nesting out of season."

Ore production from the mine amounted to 5,374 tons representing an average of 174 tons handled daily. Recovery was slightly lower than for preceding months, averaging $12. 45 per ton as compared with $14 per to n for tne preceding nine months. Tashota Gold Mines. which has been developiing a gold prospect in the Kow- kash mining area of Ontario. is to re- ceive finances through a. New York group, according to official advice. Total recovery of gold from the Sis- cce Gold Mine in Northern Quebec, during the month of October, 1931, amounted to $76,272, consisting of 867.- 110 in value of gold produced and a further $7,162 ~‘m exchange premiums allowed on the bullion. Official announcement has been made of plans to extend development below the SOD-foot level. These include sinking the present shaft to a depth of about 900 feet, with two new levels to be established at 725 and 300 feet re- spectively. The company owns 340 acres in the Kowlmsh area, which is 320 miles. west; of Cochrane. about 14 miles south of 'I‘ashota, Ont... on the Canadian Na- tional Railway. Operations sparted in 1929. but following Stobie, Forlong 8: Co. going into liquidation financing was interrupted. SECURE NEW FINANCING FOR THE TASHOTA GOLD MINE One vein is traced for a length of approximately 1,500 feet. 'l'renching indicated the existence of several com- mercial ore shoots and a shaft was sunk on the eastern end of this zone, to a depth of 200 feet and levels established at the 100 and zoo-foot horizons. SISCOE GOLD MINE’S LARGE RECOVERY FOR OCTOBER Diamond drilling on the western ex- tremity of the zone has indicated what is 1egarded as an important 61mm on what, is known as the “D” véin. Recently, drifting was resumed on the ZOO-foot level. Officials now plan. put- ting down a three-compartment shaft to an immediate depth of 500 feet. In the past there have been objec- tions made about members of the town council selling goods to the town. The argument has been advanced that any- thing like this was illegal and much to be deplored, etc. The sale of any goods to the town by any town council- lors in the past has been only in cases where this seemed about inavoidable. In each case the town paid as little or less than would have been paid to other persons and there was a special reason why the sale was made. either the convenience of the town, the fact that others could not supply the goods, or on account of price or other proper reason. In Thessalon, Ontario. how- ever. a still deeper problem has been encountered. It would appear that in Algoma at present there are some mem- bers of the municipal councils who are working on public enterprises for pay. In reference to this matter The Algoma Advocate. of Thessalon, last week says: “Ratepayer” in last week’s Advocate wanted to know if it is lawful for mem- bers of the council to work for the town. There is a law making it illegal for them to do so, but as far as small towns are concerned, it is a law that is more honoured in the breach than the observance. The law was framed to stop graft on contract jobs, a' very necessary precaution. but was never in- tended to prevent a, councillor who may unfortunately find himself unemployeo from being temporarily on the pay roll of the town. He could resign from the council and comply with the law in that manner but it would cause expense to the town and perhaps lose the services of a good councilman. Personally I thing a man who makes a sacrifice to serve the town should at least have an equal chance to get a job temporarily with the town. it in these difficult times he finds himself out of a job." ALGOMA COUNCILLORS AT WORK FOR THE IVIUNICIPALITY Pauva Foyerstrom. of Kirkland Lake. was last week fined $100.00 and costs or three months and his car confis- cated. when he was convicted at North Bay on a charge of having 11- quor in a public place. The police became suspicious and searched his car when it was parked in front of the post omce and three one-gallon cans of alcohol were found hidden be- hind the upholstering of the rear seat. Both Foyerstrom and the man with him denied ownership 01 the liquor. [is F'oyerstrom did not have the fine and costs ready he was taken to the county jail to start ms term. ”Tum years ago I suffered with severe pains in the small of my back, and could with dillicnlty hold myself upright.

IN BED WITH BABKACHE THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO “In a second the canoe was pulled down under the water with only tip showing. Quick as thought Jim grab- bed a boom chain that was dangling from one of the log booms and made it fast to the end of the canoe. Two days later after the fish had pulled that boom of logs right down to the mill, a distance of three miles, and was therefore tired out. Jim managed to catch it by drOpping the sluice gate on it as it attempted to take the boom of logs through the gate in t: e mill dam." It is certainly too bad there wasn‘t a prize offered for the best story instead of the best fish. We’d vote for that yarn." cf the fish and the danger he was in, Jim thought quick and took a turn around the canoe thwart with his line. He then dived overboard and luckly for him too, as the fish took a, sudden dive and got under a deadhead log and kept on going. Empire Review. London. England:â€" Ol all govenments in the world, the Canadian is probably the most active in the production and dissemination of motion pictures. Canadian Govern- ment films are telling the story of Can- ada in some twenty languages circulat- ing throughout the world. Two million feet of Canadian film are exposed daily in the United States alone. as a result of which there has been for some years an immigration of useful settlers and capital from the United States to Can- ada. while American tourists spend some 3;; 60,000,000 annually on visiting the spots to which these films have enticed them. The Canadian Govern- ment owns and operates the largest government motion picture production plant in the world, and no pains are spared to exploit through this unrivall- ed medium the industrial and scenic possessions of the Dominion.

Living 8 Nightmare in Russia Says New York Man (From Orillia News-Letter) Control of a Communist bureaucracy in place of the aristocracy of the days of the cursâ€"that is the only change in the condition of affairs for the masses in Russia. according to Ben- jamin Fine, 9. man who gave up a good job in Brooklyn because he wanted to take part in the great Soviet experi- ment. Mr. Fine has returned to the United States a disillusioned man. after spend- ing several months in the land of the Soviets, after being places and seeing things, which, he says, could not pos- sibly have come under the view of such travelers as Bernard Shaw. who after a few days' visit mave returned to praise what they saw. . Here is what Mr. Fine says: “I found Russia the most dismal country of all I have visitedâ€"and I have travelled extensively in all parts of the worldâ€"and the Russian people miserable and unhappy beyond descrip- tion. They seem to have lost all hope and all interest'in life. No one who has spent ten days in Russia. as did Mr. Shaw. the honoured and much flattered guest of the Soviet Govern- ment. can obtain any conception of actual conditions. “It is no exaggeration to say that the poorest American is much better off than the average Russian non-Com- munist worker. Amid the general misery and poverty prevailing in that country the Communists, who are now the new nobility of Russia. are the only ones who enjoy conditions that may be termed at all tolerable. The rest or the people are compelled to shift for themselves hungry, half-starved, brow- beaten. deprived of all rights and of any opportunity to help themselves." Mr. Fine ridiculed the idea that there was no unemployment in Russia. “It is true that Soviet Russia lacks skilled labour. for the reason that the Soviet Government is trying to carry out its Utopian programme of indus- trialization for which the Russian peo- ple are paying a terrible price. The fact is that it takes six Russians to do the work of one American worker. The return they get for their labour is not even enough to keep body and soul to- gether. Moreover, there are millions of people, unskilled. former tradesmen. ‘white collar' men, and others belonging to the so-called ‘declassed' elements, who have no means of making a living. By choosing to ignore their existence. the Soviet Government can make the claim that there are no unemployed in Russia. "The average employed worker in Russia. cannot even leave his work without permission on pain of being made jobless for six months. That is the prescribed punishment. Commun- ism in industry and agriculture as de- velopd in Soviet Russia is slavery in the fullest sense of this term: The misery. waste. incompetence and utter disregard of the lives of the maple. have convinced me that capitalism. with all its faults and imperfections. is to be preferred to Communism. If I cannot get anything better than capl- talism. I do not want anything worse, and Russian Communism is worse. much worse. The suffering now being experienced 'by many people in the United States and other countries is child‘s play compared with the suffer- ing of the Russian people. "I have seen conditions in Russian factoriesâ€"not the show places for the benefit of men like Shaw. but the places where millions workâ€"on farms. ln homes, at --railway stations. in hotelsâ€" and I can truthfully say that I look back upon all of this as upon a. night- mare." Huntingdon Gleaner:-â€"-At Welland Avenue United Church. St. Catharines, the pastor. Rev. J. W. Gordon, an- nounced the collection. After a shor'. interval an anxious-faced usher went to the front and whispered to the min- ister. Mr. Gordon then announced: “I am sorry to say we have no collec- tion plates. Ours have been lent to another church, which has forgotten to return them. The ushers Will have to use anything they can; probably their hats." So two black derbies and two fedoras received the collection. Sagging of the soft hats indicated that the emergency receptacles were not un- acceptable to the congregation.
