been doing some calculating, and the statisticlans have come to the concluâ€" sion that i#f every automobile in Canâ€" ada would hold eight people then everyâ€" body in the Dominion could ride at once. In other words, there were 1,â€" 239,888 motor vehicles registered at the end of last year, or one for every eight persons, as compared with the one for every 8.2 persons the pwrevious year. Ontario led registrations with 564,669 cars, and also led in the percapita column, with one for every 5.9 persons in the province. The Canadian output during the first ten months of the current year was reâ€" corded at 2,201,286 ounces, or 30.7 per cent. above the total for the correspondâ€" ing period of 1930. The return (less exchange) to Onâ€" tario operators for gold produced was $3,756,607 in October. Barryâ€"Hollinger, Coniaurum, Howey, Lake Shore, Minâ€" to, Parkhill, Teck Hughes, Vipond, and Wrightâ€"Hargreaves reported increased production during the month. Quebec Cperations ylelded 25,783 cunces as against 26,692 ounces in Sepâ€" tember; Britisth Columbia production totalled 14,789 ounces; Manitoba, 9,476 sunces, while the Yukon and Nova Scotia produced the remainder. During October, 1931, Ontario mines produced 181,871 ounces, made up of 905,580 ounces from Kirkland Lake, 80,.â€" 568 ounces from the Porcupine area, and 5,723 ounces from other sources. which is the equivaient of $4.927,663. There is a slight deéckine from the Sepâ€" tember total of 240,233 ounces, or $4.â€" 965,388. It is, however, an increase 271.6 per cent. over the output of Octoâ€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Sentenced to a Year for Stone Thrown at Police gistrate shortly after the act was comâ€" mitted. The case arose from the melee in Cochrane in September of this year when a crowd of transients paraded in the town and gathered at the town hall, refusing to disperse or to obey the law or the police. ‘The police attempted to get the men to behave, but instead a small riot was <~commenced. Sergt. Frank Gardner was struck on the head by a missile and sustained a painful but not serious injury. The incident: roused the Cochrane people who had endured other disorders from the transâ€" lent unemgloyed, and as a result some three hundred of these fellows were forcibly driven out of the town by citiâ€" zens armed with clubs and other weaâ€" Repeated attempts have been made by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa to improve the wild blueberry, and to find out whether or not crops of this fruit could be produced profitâ€" ably under cultivation. One of the difficulties of extending the cultivation of blueberries has been the lack of areas possessthg correct soil conditions. Even when solil has been taken from blueâ€" berry country and moved to other areas success in growing the crop has nct been achieved. What apparently i; needed is soil of a peaty nature, whers the peat is in an acid condition. Make Various Tests Another factor that seems necessar is a constant moisture and a suitabls soil temperature. At the Central Exâ€" perimental Farm at Ottawa plants takâ€" en from wild locations have been tried out in soils treated in many different and no place where the blueberry atâ€" tains such a flavour and desirability as the North Land.....The quantity of blueâ€" berries shipped from the North and the demand for this fruit in the South makes the matter of the cultivation of the blueberry a tion of special im« rortance in this . â€"There have been repez‘ed and persistent attempts to place, the blueberry crop in this North on more of a business basis, and to make its cultivation and sale less haphazard. / to Need Peaty Soil "A good many years have passed since Addison said that it was ridicuâ€" lous for any man who had not disâ€" tinguished himself by his own perforâ€" mance to criticize the works of another. That remark has never been especially popular, because it would put an end to most criticism. If we had to do something worth while ourselves before we criticized others, what a dumbness would attack some of our most critical circles! As it is, any "downâ€"andâ€"outâ€" er‘" feels competent to criticize the Preâ€" migr, Any unsatisfactory workman knows just what is wrong with the chief. The untried schcolboy who never earned a dollar in his life, will find fault with business leaders. Criâ€" ticism of this sort may satisfy those who offer it, but of course, it means nothing. The only person whose criâ€" ticism is worth anything is the one who has achieved." knows too much about the other side of the picture. The following little ediâ€" torial from The Acton Free Press last week talks right from the shoulder on the question, tlssibly some of the imâ€" petus for the little article being due to something said in the recent municipal election in Acton, though, of course, there is more criticism than just at election.
