Dealers have been warned not to sell the weapon to boys who have seen less than sixteen winters, nor to supply them with amntunition. If once a boy becomes seventeen years of age he can legally pzuthase fire-arms and ammunition it. is time an amendment were made to the law. The age ought to be raised to at least twenty.

Indeed our peo- ple ought to have remembered in the long ago that if American silver was largely in circulation in Canada it was to pay for Canadian products, and we surely did need purchasers for our farm craps. “And yet the writer remembers the dayâ€"upwards of - sixty yeas agoâ€"â€" when Canadians would not pay more for the American dime or ten cent piece than eight cents, being a dis- count of twenty per cent. And a. pro- portionate discount on all American silver was made in Canada at that :ime, the reason given being that there was so much American silver on the market it was worth the discount to pay for the extra work of handling it,‘ counting it and putting it into parcels from one to ten dollars. It was a com- mon occurrence for a business man to pay a fifty or a hundred dollar acâ€" count without untielng and counting :he package of silver. “But minimize the injurious effects of the discount on our money as we may, the fact remains that it is injur- ious to Canada as well as irritating, for who of us likes to admit that we cannot get as much for our money in any of the border towns as we can for American money. because in the banks the American dollar is worth at less; 14 cmts more than our dol- lar. “However. those who are responsible for the depreciation of Canadian mon- ey in the United States are making their money all right. The pity is that the United States has no law to check up such speculations. “A few weeks ago we sated that when the winter-hotel people of the Southern States missed the familiar faces of Canadians who have for years been their winter guests they would ascertain that it was because when ‘;he:e tourists found that they could not get more than $425 of American x‘neney for their cheque for $500 they decided to spend their winters Where our dollar was worth its face-value. “What has happened seems to have been what might have been expected. Not only are the-re fewer Canadians in the Southern States this winter, but there are more Americans touring; in Canada than ever before because the tourists across the line can make enough discount by purchasing Can- adian money to go a considerable way oward paying their travelling ex- penses. I When the Depreciation was the Other Way Round on such successful activities, was also opened up by the railway. North of Cochrane was discovered the llgnite coal, the various clays and vast deposits of gypsum. And lastly it made access- ible the historic spot of Moose Factory and Moosonee." “The route taken by the French trader has been followed by the Tem- iskaming and Northern Ontario Rail- way," Mr. Cole explained. “A great deal of talk about the clay belt of the North lead the Government to build a railway to open up that part of the province, but actually it revealed a great marry other natural resources of the country. First of all it found the silver camp of Cobalt in the late ‘Autumn of 1903 and from that time production has been maintained at the average rate of one and three quarters tons of pure silver for every working day. The arrival of the railway in New Liskeard meant that it could transport its clover seed, green peas. blueberries and numerous other pro- ducts of that district which have brought in huge sums of money. Then the gold country was reached, Porcu- pine, Noranda, Kirkland Lake.

This is why editors grow grey. In his address Mr. Cole dealt with Northern Ontario’s abundant wealth. and the important part the Temiska- ming and Northern Ontario Railway has played in the opening up of the country. He referred in enthusiastic terms to the natural resources of the North and his remark that the terri- tory served by the T. . N. O. was a wonderful country seems to be amply justified by the facts of the case. 3 The reports oi the address show! much of historical interest in regard to this North and its development. This North Land is a young country, so far as development is concerned, but itsl story goes back into the centuries. In his opening remarks the speaker went back in history to deal with the fur- traders of 300 years ago. He recalled how the French were coming up from the South in the St. Lawrence area, and the English coming from the North 'by Hudson and James Bayâ€"each striv- iing to gain control of the trade. The English, however, he said. were offer- ing the most money and consequently were coaxing the trade to the Hudson and James Bays district. In 1636, he continued, a French trader came up by Mattawa and Lake Temiskaming and followed a trail to Moos-e Factory. On his way he discovered the Indians car- rying on lead mining at a point five miles from where Cobalt it to-day lo- cated, Mr. Cole stated, and added that this was one of the first mines to be worked in Canada.

North Bay and Moose Factory were then shown and briefly commented on by Mr. Cole and proved a most inter- esting feature of the programme. Many of the pictures depicted the activities in ,progress at the Abitibi Canyon while a great many views of Moose Factory were also shown, including a picture of “the old blacksmith shop," reputed to be the oldest building in Ontario. Mr.‘ Cole also exhibited a number of speci- mens of pottery manufactured from the clays of Northern Ontario. and several samples of high grade gold and silver.

It. is a desirable thing to force all to keep chimneys clean to avoid danger of chimney fires, but it does not look so good to place any sort of a premium on turning in an alarm. The man who expects to be fined for having a dirty chimney is not likely to hurry to turn in an alarm and the danger is he may wait too long to save the fine and costs and in the end he may lose his property and the town may have correspondingl Mast towns suffer from chimney fires. some more than others, and some at some times more than others. When chimney fires become too frequent there is always temptation to adopt drastic measures to curb such fires on account cf the ccst of answering the alarms and the danger from this forrn of blaze. In planning to curb chimney fires, however, it would seem well to guard against discouraging too much the turning in of fire alarms.

It is stated that as a result of this by-law, a chimney fire will be regarded as primae facie evi- dence that the chimney has not been kept clean. and the owner will be liable to prosecution for breach of the by-law acccrding to despatches coming from Kapuskasing.
