On awount of the prevalence of the influenza epidemic in the camp the sittings of the Division Court schedulâ€" ed for Oct. 31st, 1918, at Timmins was postponed, notice to this effect being sent out to all concerned by the Diviâ€" sion Court clerk, E. H. Hill. The South Porcupine Nurseries, ownâ€" ed by Bert Dewar, were destroyed by fire on Oct. 28th, 1918, at about 2 0‘â€" clock in the morning. Mr. Dewar estiâ€" mated his loss atâ€" $7.000.00, none of which was covered by any insurance He believed the fire was of incendiary origin, as he had received several threatening letters. Mr. Dowar was a pioneer in the nursery line in this and his industry, ability and effort as paid during the year. The skeoet for the year showed a surplus of $872.17275. During the year 178,327 ‘ons averaging $9.61 per ton wers treated in the mill. The total ore reâ€" serves were given as $4490,432.00 In the Oct. 30th issue of The Adâ€" vance in 198, it was said that up to the date the Victory Loan canvassers had collected over $45,000 in subscripâ€" tions for the Victory Loan. The secretâ€" ary, W. S. Macpherson, was on the sick list for a couple of weeks, during which time Mr. D. A. HMozgarth took charge and carried on in effective way.

Answering a published warning to the settlers against using the raillway lines of the T. N.O. and C.G.R., The Advance twenty years ago suggested that it would be a good idea for the Canadian Government and the Ontâ€" tario Government to make it unnecesâ€" sary for the settlers to take risks by using the tracks. "Settlers must have some sort of roads to travel by," said The Advance. "Roads are the great need of any new country and it is the cost of roads and the difficulty of their construction that usually retard setâ€" tlement and keep the farmers in a new district at a dscided disadvantage. Much of the difficulty could be overâ€" comse if the two Government raillways serving this North Land would help oudt the settlers in the matter of roads. Part of the right of way of the railâ€" ways could easily and at a comparaâ€" Phone 76 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCHE, ‘TTIMMINS, ONTARIO tively small cost be turned into a very serviceable and convenient road for the farmers along the way. This has been done to a certain extent by the T. N. O. and might well be further folâ€" lowed out by the line, as well as by the â€"C.G.R. ~Such a plan would be a great benefit to the settlers and a noteâ€" worthy help to the development of the country." Do Christmas Trees Deplete the Forests? The famous excuse of the Irishman for not imending the leaky roof of his cabinâ€"that when it wasn‘t raining it didn‘t need fixing, and when it raining, it couldn‘t be fixedâ€"appli¢s to more than leaky roofs. Many grievâ€" ances are allowed to go without reâ€" medy because agitation about them is carried cn at the wrong time. > This applies to the cutting of Christmas trees in Canada. Some people believe that the cutting of young trees for Christmas depletes the forests and is a serious injury to the country as a consequence. Others hold that the trade in Christmas trees provides a very deâ€" sirable source of revenue for many Canadians and that, if carried on with any degres of judgment, the ‘business is not at all prejudicial to of Canada. This question regularly comes up once a year, but usiually At Christâ€" mas time, whin the cutting has alâ€" ready taken place and nothing can be done about it. Last year The Advance had several enquiries in the matter, but these enquiries all came a week or two before Christmas, while the cutâ€" ting of the trees had occurred weeks beâ€" fore: It would appear. that the time to effectively discuss the matter would be a month or two before Christmas. The Advance in the past has pointed out that those best qualified to judge say that the Christmas tree trade is no injury to the forests. This is the opinion of The Canadian Forests and Qutdcors, the official organ of the Canâ€" adian Forestry Associationâ€"the highâ€" est authority khown in such matters. To forestall the annual argument on the question The Advance publishes herewicth an article from the current issue of Canadian Forests and Outâ€" doors: The Business of Christmas Trees Each year as the Yuletide season apâ€" proaches, letters of concern and proâ€" test appear in the press, with respect to the cutting of Christmas trees. _ On this point, however, the federal and provincial Forest Services mainitain, that provided only the Christmas tree «business is propetly controlled and reâ€" gulated in the best interests of all conâ€" cerned, no real cause for alarm or uncasiness need exist. . Briefly, the 'stand taken by the Dominion Forest service on the matter is as follows: Forestry Services Say Not If Judgment is Used. (1) The Christmas tree custom is today a fixed and important instituâ€" tion in our social and religious life. (2) The production of little trees for ‘he satisfaction of this demand conâ€" stitutes a and profitable use Oof land. (4) Inosmuch as the estimated 5,.â€" 000,000 trees cut in Canada each Christâ€" mas season could be produced in perâ€" petuity on 100 square miles of forest land, no threat of forest is involved if only the trees are cut in the right places. % PA L â€"ACâ€"A â€" L PA â€"AL P â€"ACâ€"ALâ€"ALC PCA â€"ACâ€"APâ€"AP P APâ€"ALâ€"A o (3) On the Crown land areas of each province it is feasible to control the cutting of Christmas by strict permit <regulations and thus prevent undue forrst depletion or damage. (5) The Chrikimas tree trade now provides Canadian farmers with a proâ€" fitable, offseason, farmâ€"woodlot crop, of a value exceedingz $500,000.00 year. When properly controlled this trade will tend to benefit rather than injure our forests. This is well seen in of Pike‘s Peak Natural Forest in Coloâ€" rado, where the judicious thinning of younz evergreen forests provides the city of Denver with its Christmas, tree needs. In Canada, it seems probable that future Chrisimas tree supplics will coune more and more lar from managed woodlot plantations. According to customs figures, the value placed on Chisimas trees exportâ€" ed from Canada this last yearâ€"end was $509,407.00, which represents a 43 per cent increase over 1936 and 161 per cent over the depression "low", at Christmas, 1932. New York is the outâ€" standing market for Canadian Christâ€" mas trees, annually absorbing 250 to 300 carloads. This is about two thirds of the total New York demand. (Editor‘s Note: It 500,000 trees are cut pass and that these customs returns). The census figures also reveal that of the totai Christmas trees exported, about threeâ€"fifths come from Quobec, oneâ€"fifth from Ontario, oneâ€"tenth from Saskatchewan, oneâ€"twelfith from the Maritime provinces, and oneâ€"fortieth from British Columbia. As to the species most favoured, tl}e choice is estimated to run about ‘as follows: Canada Balsam, 60 per cent; Spruce, 25 per cent; Douglas Pir, 10 per cent and other species, five per cont. In parts of Canacda every yearâ€"end, especially near cities, the pilfering and mutilation of prized evergreens in woodlois or arboretums, or along roadâ€" ways, is becoming a serious menace. Yet takingz Canada as a whole little or no effective controlling legislation has been enacted as yet. The passage of such legislation would seem to be a pressing need at the present time, especially as applying to private woodlands. Some effective way of discouraging these heartless and destructive vandals has become a distinct necessity. Many an owner of summer cotitage site or home grounds would like to enrich and beauâ€" tify his holding with blue spruce or other lovely and protecting conifers, but with the ugly menace of the Christmas tree robber ever before him, what wonâ€" der that he hestitates and postpones, and finally gives up his dream of addâ€" ed beauty? In approaching the problem one naâ€" turally asks what steps other communiâ€" ‘ies may have taken to deal with it. Enquiry reveals that several nearby States of the Union have excellent covering legislation in effect. For inâ€" stance, in our neighbor State, Michiâ€" gan,. a stringent Christmas tree law came into effect in 1933. This act provides inter alia that no person shall cut, remove or transport, for decorative purposes or for sale, Christmas trees or gresnery, without the written consent of the owner of the land on which they grew. This permit shall contain a legal description of such landt be carried at all times by the permittee or his agent, and be presented on demand to any gcvernment official. Any infraction draws a fine up to $500.00 or imprisonâ€" ment up to three months, or both. In Connecticut, Christmas trees are all licensed, and during November and December special traffic patrolmen are employed to stop all vehicles carrying greenery and check their permits. Such stringent laws as these, in many of the States, have now practically put a stop to trospassing and looting. T. N. 0. Prospers With Mine Industry In Ontario, it would seem to be the natural function of Horticultural Soâ€" cleties to study this matter of providâ€" ing effective protection for owners of valuable evergreens, and to interest themselves in procuring fully adequate legislation to that end. Given such protection, the time seems opportune for an allied campaign of education among the farm woodlot owners of this country, to point out how the Christmas tree crop may be best produced, and to show how the businzcss may be profitably organized and stabilized by the common sense plan of coâ€"operative marketing. The census returns show an aggreâ€" gate area of some 30,000,000 acres deâ€" voted to wood uses on Canadian farms, and if the farmer receives govâ€" ernmental advice regarding say his barley or apple crop, then why not some instruction also in respect to so general and profitable shortâ€":crm woodlot crop as Christmas trees seem destined to become? (By Colonel Malcom Lang, Chairâ€" man,Temiskaming and Northern Ontâ€" ario Rallway Commision,) In an article prepared by the Northâ€" ern Miner‘s Annual Number in the year 1937, I had the pleasure of reporting that the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway was then enjoying one of the best years in its history, and at that time we looked forward to a conâ€" tinuation of those saltisfactory condiâ€" tions. Original Idea Was Colonizaâ€" tion Line, but the Mines Changed Outlook. then held have been justified by the eventâ€"but ‘ not lully justified. Alâ€" though not apparent at the time of writinz one year ago, traffic conditions wore just as their peak, and subseâ€" quently have not bsen as satisfactory as they were up to that time. A railâ€" way is a peculiar institution in this ‘enseâ€"that in order to earn the maxiâ€" mum return on its traffic, there must be a "balanced movement" of commodâ€" itics. Thus with a heavy movement of freight in both directions, equipment and payroll costs are readily earned, but when there is a heavy movement in one direction and a relatively light movement in the other, the trains moving in the direction of light traffic are unable to earn their share of revâ€" enue. To some extent this situation has developed on the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway durinz the past year. Northbound Traffic Heavy All mining communities are very actâ€" ive and the resulting northbound moveâ€" ment of freight has held up remarkably well, but owing to quieter business conâ€" ditions in the United States, the southâ€" bound movement of forest products has fallen off sharply, thus creating the situation where trains are operated at full capacity northbound, but miust reâ€" turn with a partial load. As a result To some exlent the optimistic views held have been justified by the is claimed that annually in tresâ€" tdo not appear in this railway is ncot enjoying the measâ€" ure of prosperity experienced a yerar ago. Naturally it is hoped this is a temporary situation and that with the return of normal conditions in the United States, forests productsâ€"includâ€" ing pulpwood, pulp and paper, will again move free‘ly to market. Passenger traffice has remained at much the same levels as last year, and this has fully justified the really exâ€" cellent service made effective with the inauguration of the "Northland" in the month of April, 1937.. These fast trains to and from Toronto have filled a long felt need, and the manner in which they have been patronized is very gratâ€" ifying. Commercial telegraph and long disâ€" tance telephone business handled by the railway continues at satisfactory levels, and in order to handle these imâ€" portant branches of the service more efficiently, a new telephone and teleâ€" graph building has been erected at Swastika, Ontario, equipped wilh the latest scientific devices to ensure satâ€" isfactory service at all times. Earnings Lower Since this article deals with railway matters, it is not necessary for me to comment except in very general terms about the activities in the various industries of the part of Northern Ontâ€" ario and Northwestern Quebec served. It may be sufficient for me to say what has already been indicatedâ€"the minâ€" ing industry continues active and the resulting direct and indirect {raffic is very satisfactoryâ€"forest products other than pulp and paper are moving in fair volumeâ€"while the pulp and paper inâ€" dustry is relatively quiet. As a result freight earnings in 1938 so far are at a lower level than in 1937, and while there are indications of improvement in southbound traffic during the reâ€" mainder of the year will overcome the reduction which has already occurred in the first half of 1938. Mines in North Forecast The contribution which the steam railway, and in particular, the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario Railway has made to the development of minâ€" ing, and thereby to the general prosâ€" perity of Ontario and the Dominion of Canada, may be said to be incalculable. From the very inception of the idea of a steam railway into the Temiskaming area, the possibilities of mineral deâ€" posits of value being discovered was prominently in the minds of the provâ€" incial leaders of those early days. The preamble of the original Act passed by the Legislature in th> year 1902, authâ€" orizing the construction of the railway contains these prophetic _ words: "Whereas exploration of the Province has shown that in that district of Ontâ€" ario which lies between Lake Nipissing and Lake Abitibi and northwesterly from Lake Temiskaming there are large areas of arable land well fitted for settlement and exlensive tracts of merchantable pine and other valuab‘le timber, and deposits of ores and minâ€" erals which are expected upon developâ€" ment to add greatly to the wealth of the provinceâ€"therefore His Majesty by and with the consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario Leskew‘s Cabinetâ€"Upholstering Shop Furniture Made to Order.

And just as pasteurizing scientilicâ€" ally frees milk of bacteria without destroyâ€" ing the nutriment so scientific laundering removes all dirt and bacteria without in anyâ€" way harming the clothes. Your health is as carefully guarded at the laundry as it is in modern dairy. Only a firstâ€"class laundry can wash your things really clean.

Down through the years that object has never been lost to view, and the railway has played a most imâ€" portant part in the development of the present gigantic mining industry in Northern Ontario. Today as in the past this railway continues to fulfill its functions by ofâ€" fering the most upâ€"toâ€"date service, with the most modern and efficient equipment; fast passenger train service to and from large centres of finance and population; and with speedy freight service of such dependable charâ€" acter so essential to modern business. Boston, Nov. 2.â€"Changing his plea to guilty, Anthony Farschuck, 38, of Winnipeg, Monday was sentenced to a 10â€"year penitentiary term for kidnapâ€" ping a Lawrence, Mass., taxicab driver, in December, 19836. Man Arrested at Red Lake Given 10 Years at Boston Arrer‘cd at a mining camp at Red Lake, Ont., Rarschuck originally pleadâ€" ed not guilty. In‘urging the 10â€"year sentence, Unitâ€" ed States Attorney George Garrity told Judge Grorge Sweeney, Farschuck was on parole on a holdup charge in Michitâ€" gan at the time of the kidnapping. Garrity said Farschuck, with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Benson, forced the taxi driver, Richard Robichaud, 26, to drive them to St. Louis, after wounding a doctor in a holdâ€"up attempt. Benson is serving a 10â€"year term and his wife is on parole, alfter serving part of a oneâ€"year sentence.
