Ten years ago Mrs. William Dillon passed away at her home in Schuâ€" macher after an illngss of only seven days. She was 66 years of age and had been a resident of the Porcue pine camp for 13 years, having lived in South Porcupine before coming to Schumacher. She â€" was held in the highest esteem by wide circles of friends in this part of the North and her death was greatly mourned. Rev. Fr. Gelinas conducted the funâ€" eral service, Revy. Fr. Theriault, Rev. Fr. Lindsay, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Laâ€" Forest singing in the requiem high speaker vias David Cochrani, of New Brunswick, who was on the reserve of the Royal Canadian Navy. He urged a larger navy for Canada as a protection for this country and a help to the Empire. He had just returned from a visit to Europe. He said that matters there were in a turmoil, and in his opinion the time was not far distant wheén Canada would wish it had a Jlarger naval force. Other parts of the Empire had ‘naval forces of their own which would be of great service in case of war, and the speaker thought. that war was more than likely. Mr. Cochrane said that Canada had a number of well trained naval men and that it would not be difficult | to build up a very useful navy. The j present war has shown that Mr. Cochrane was right on a number of points and gave a forecast of the days to come.

Previous to 1935, the Timmins Gcolden Chapter I. O. D. E. had preâ€" sented gold medals to pupils® passâ€" ing the Entrance examinations with a certain high percentage. Changes in the school regulations at this time, however, made this impractiâ€" cable. Instead of : the medals, the I. 0. D. E. decided to present librarâ€" ies to needy schools. Some rural schoolsâ€" found this a notable help. Merritt Taylor, who had lived in Timmins for nine years, died on May 17th, 1935, after®a short illness. He was a contractor well known in Northern Ontario. He was 75 years of age at the time of death.

She identified the nshing rod as one belonging to her other son who went overseas. Magisâ€" trate Atkinson said that the Case was dismissed, the ownership of the arâ€" There were two rather unusual theft charges at police court Tuesday. In the one case, P. J. O‘Neill charged his son, Edward, with the theft of a fishing rod and a flashlight. Mr. O‘Neill, who claimed that the younger man would not work, said that he had locked the articles in his car, and the next he learned about them was to find that they were at Kideckel‘s Second Hand Store. Mr. Kideckel had told him that the younger O‘Neill had sold them to him as being Edward‘s own property. In his own defence, Edward O‘Neill said that the fishing rod had been given to him by his brother prior to the latsr going overseas. He said that he had been left with shattered nerves after his army service and though he had tried to work he always had to stop on account of his condition.

She admitted that she had been in the beverage room on one occasion with the accused when they had met on her way home, but that it was not at the time the accused said. In view of the contraâ€" dictory evidence, the magistrate felt he had to give the benefit of the doubt to the accused and so the case was marked dismissed, the radio being orâ€" dered returned to the man who had bought it. On a charge of the theft of a ring and a wrist watch, Wiilliam B. Malkin was sentenced to six months. He pleadâ€" ed guilty, and his record showed three previous convictions. For consuming beer two interdicted persons were each fined $10 and costs. One common drunk was fined the usual ten and costs while a second offender was assessed $50 and costs. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were cthe following:â€" "Arnold Purâ€" don returned this week to Timâ€" mins from the University of Torâ€" onto." "Mr. Arthur Filmer left yesterday to take charge of a in Saskatchewan." ‘"Dr. S. Lee Honey was appointed a governor of the Ontario Dental Association at this week‘s, convention in Toronto."

William Coyne, of Renfrew, is visiting relatives in Timâ€" mins and South Porcupine. He was in Cobalt in the early days but has not ~been north since then until this visit." 1 Two Unusual Theft Charges Dismissed at Tuesdays‘ Court The Advance noted ten years ago> that with the addition of Constable Roland Munroe to the Timmins police ‘force, the total strength of the department was 13. On Satuurday, May 25th, 1935, the Porcupine lost one Oof its oldest ang best pioneer prospectors in the perâ€" son of John McLeod, a native of the Isle of Skye, who came to Canada at an early age. He was 84 years old at the time of death, but up to a short time before his death hc could have passed for a man twenty or even thirty years younger, so full of strength and life was he. He had lived a busy and adventurous life. He came to the Porcupine as early, as 1906, prospecting for Noah ‘Timmins. In 1907 he went to the Night Hawk Lake area and always said that there would be great mines in that area. As a young man John MclLeod®: worked in Western Canada on railway construction work, being in the west before the Riel rebellion. When the Marquis of Lorne visited the west as Governorâ€"General of Canada, John McLeod was chosen as one of the canoe men for the trip over the famous Dawson route. John McLeod was a true Highland gentleman and his death was much mourned here by all who had had the pleasure of knowing him. Hon. Mr. Dunn, then one of the cabinet of the Saskatchewan Government, wired here asking that the body be shipped to Melville, Sask., for inâ€" terment. Mrs. Dunn was the niecs of the late John McLeod. There was a good attendance of Oddffellov{fs at the annual church service held in 1935 in the Anglican Church with Rev. Canon R. S Cushâ€" ing delivering a special sermon for the occasion. Jones and violin solos by Fred Delâ€" ewski were special features of the programme. Community singing led , by Lion Cully Abrams was also a feature. for the an2 Derâ€" the ada 2al‘s â€" _ to )ate nty full He ‘ous as oah the * C Prior to the war the pulp and paper industry was the nation‘s greatest manufacturing industry, with a production capacity four times that of any other country. Single newsprint mills sometimes use more electrical energy than is needâ€" ed to light cities like Toronto or Montreal. to lumber, Mr, Bray said that in a single year Canada had produced enough lumber to construct half a million fiveâ€"roomed houses. There will be new uses for forest products, the audience was reminded â€"plastics, clothing, alcohol, sugar, and even yeast cakes can be taken from trees. ‘â€"â€"In the other odd theft case, Miss Marie Rose Ritchie accused Theodore Lachapelle of the theft of a table radio, She told the court thgt Lachapelle had taken the radio to have it repaired and when he failed to return it, she learned by enquiries that he had sold it for five dollars and kept the money. ‘In his own defence Lachapelle said "that he had sold the radio with her permission and she had handed him back fifty cents to buy some wine. She denied this absolutely and also that later she had been‘ to the beverage room with the accused. She admitted that she had been in the beverage room on one occasion with the accused when they had met on her way home, but that it was not at the time the accused said. In view of the contraâ€". dictory evidence, the magistrate felt he had to give the benefit of the doubt A charge of assault laid against a man by his wife was withdrawn. There were a number of remands. - On a dangerous driving charge L. O‘Malley paid $50 and costs Wilful damage to property brought a fine of $10 and costs A fine of $25 and costs was imposed in a case of careless‘ driving. Improper parking brought a fine of ticles being in doubt and the preponâ€" derance of the evidence supporting the defence. "It looks like. a family disâ€" pute," the magistrate commented. This is the first case for a long time where a son has been accused of theft by a father. On this area thére is probably 500 million feet of saw timber, chiefly spruce and jackpine, and about 25 million cords of pulpwood. There are approximately 55 operators in the district, and more than 60 separâ€" Cochrane Forests Mr. Bray then outlined the Onâ€" tario forest picture, and turned to the Cochrane district. The province is divided into five regions, which in turn embrace a total of 13 districts. The Cochrane district, stretching from Kirkland Lake to Moosonee, and from Fauquier to the Quebec boundary, includes an area of about ten million acres, or fifteen thousand square miles. :(The total area +s actually larger, but parts of it® are not â€" readily available for patrol work.) Depletion Speaking of the depletion of our forest reserve, the forester explained that 71% of our annual average deâ€" pletion is used, 29% destroyed by fire or insects or diseases. This deâ€" pletion, for replacement, requires an annual growth of 14 cubic feet per acre, and from all estimates, it is not this high. In Cochrane area, said Mr. Bray, the average growth is estimated to be 10 cubic feet per acre per year, wiiile in Scandinavian countries, with similar climatic and growing conditions, but which are under *‘ intense forest management, the growth averages 28 cubic feet per acre. ‘_ _ One of Canada‘s most important resources is its forest wealth, In this North Country this resource is of great importanceâ€"much greater ‘District Forester Tells of Canada‘s ;Forest Wealth In area of forest land Canada is outpaced only by Russia and Brazil. This forest gives employment to about 260,000 men on a yearâ€"round basisâ€"a possible 400,000 during wintâ€" er months when woods operations are at their height, said the speaker. importance, in fact, than generally | given it in this district, where the wealth of the mines has a tendency to overshadow other resources. Many | here know Mr. A. S. Bray, of Cochâ€" rane, the district For:ster, who has been a frequent visitor here recently. At a recent meeting of the Cochrane Board of Trade he gave a very comprehensive address on Canada‘s | forest wealth, with special reference to_the Cochrane district. This is of | value to all here, and The Advance is giving a review of that address as published last week by The Cochrane Northland Post. The Post says:~â€" Extent of Forest Wealth One of Canada‘s largest indusâ€" tries, from the standpoint of emâ€"| ployment, capital invested, and exâ€"| ternal trade importance, was pictur-! ed for the Cochrane Board of Trade on Wednesday night in an informâ€"| ative and interesting address by Mr. A,. S. Bray, District FPorester. _ I Informative Address by A. S. Bray, District Forester per acre. This variation in growing capacity is directly or nearly so at least tied in with the depth of peat on which it grows. The better stands tgrow on the areas which have a very light peat cover. The‘ areas which produce only five cords per acre are for the most part growing on peat which may be thirty or more inches in thickness. Some consideration is ‘being given to burning off or otherâ€" | wise disposing of this peat as an exâ€" ! periment with a view to determining 'whether the ‘vastly increased growth would make the required expendiâ€" | ture feasible. - The problem of treating peatâ€"covâ€" ered clay land to get maximum ; timber production was then touched upon. Under natural conditions the ‘mature stands of spruce in this ,locality produce from five or less to in some case forty cords of spruce Mr. Bray dealt in some detail with protective measures against fire, disâ€" ease and insects, and then touched upon land policy and postâ€"war proâ€" jects. Following the address â€" he answered a barrage of questions from his hearers, is .2 4 mawmms,mm production ‘ from 3 or 4 to 50 thousand feet per i mmea'wdocn !n nh pomn mtmmnmmmeotonm day.

Forest Management Mr. Bray then outlined what is: being done in the way of forest| management in the province, menâ€" tioning contract provisions for forâ€" estry practice programs by the operâ€" ators, protection measures, and the fruits of experience in the southern parts of the province. and in other countries. Some way must be found to reâ€" generate our white pine and spruce stands, the forester stated.. It is not for the most part very difficult to get adequate regeneration in this area. However, we do have a problem‘ in the mixed stands which fringe our waterways. Many of these at the present time are being cut for sawâ€" log material. This has a tendency to increase the ‘balsam content which is dangerous from the standpoint ‘of insect attack, and a disadvantage economically from the standpoint of the type of timber produced. His fighting spirit and abmt.y has been recognized by the people O6f 'I‘immlns who elected him to the town council last December.
