aegis 6n the stretch fronmizaich~| we "McGillivray, R. 299 Jan. 29° YBURIAN Vol. 24, No. 32 Subscription $1.50 per year Road Work to Provide Employment for Settlers Highway and Side Roads Will be Gravelled During Winter as Aid to Farmers According to reports from the North, there is to be considerable work done on the roads this win- ter as ameasure ofrelief for the farmers who were so unfortunate as to lose the greater part of their crops during the prolonged wet weather through the late summer and early fall. The Porcupine Advance last week gives details of a plan worked out by A. F. Kenning, of Timmins, M.P.P. for Cochrane district, and presented to Premier Ferguson. It is stat- ed that Mr. Kenning received the assurance of the Prime Min- ister that all work possible would be undertaken this winter and that in all cases the settlers would be given:the preference in employment. Hon. Wm. Finlay- son, Minister of Lands and For- ests, is having a survey made of the localities where road work can be done to the best advan- tage and the engineers and staff of the Northern Development} Branch are preparing the prog- | ram which will be carried out. It is stated that the work will consist largely of gravelling the stretches of both main highway and sideroads where these have not been entirely completed, and that new machines, including stone crushers, are to be added to the equipment. There will be plenty of work for teams, it is claimed, and there will also be gravel hauled by train to points where it is not available locally. | Dealing with specific instances of sections where work will be done the article in The Advance says: "On the highway it is likely there will be quite a bit of work ford to Cobalt. Also several strips between Englehart and Cochrane will have extra work done on them. The bad piece near Ramore, so much improved by work done this summer, will be further benefitted by attention given this winter, it is expected. There is also reports to the ef-|} fect that work will be done in the completion of the highway from Cochrane to Kapuskasing. From present indications it would seem that much work will be done on the roads of the North Land this winter. This will mean adouble benefit. It will provide work for the settlers who have been sufferers from the weather that spoiled the crops. And it will mean more and better roads, Accused of Breaking Insurance Laws By Organization of Club Speed R.

The youth was sixteen years of age, i2 Ss e|was of strong physique and e| weighed 180 pounds. He was missed from his home on Thurs~ s day night last and a search was instituted which resulted in the} recovery of the body from Lake Temiskaming on Friday. The body was brought here to Thorpe _|& Branchaud's undertaking par- lors, where the inquest was held on Saturday afternoon. S. Guignard, of Haileybury, engaged in the search and dis- covered the remains of the un- fortunate boy, arriving here a- e| bout five p.m. with his small boat. The body was recovered in the lake just out from the old Ar- gyle Mine, below Mill Creek. -- That he had seen a man on a rock near the lake and that, al- though he did not recognize him, in build he would resemble the missing youth, was the testimony of Thomas Lapointe, who appar- ently was the last person to see Courtemanche alive. Lapointe had been working about two and ahalf acres away from the rock in question, which was quite high and slippery and near the water. t often men had come there dui- ing the summer, Lapointe s He declared that, if jhe may ad his buan the" crowd was not as large a the rock he J is balaneett that on the same occasion last| Would fall' straight into deep wa- year, what was lacking in num-|'€?

The wea- ther was mild and there was a large gathering at the Memorial plot on Main Street at the hour of 10.45 when the service com- menced. A number of veterans of the great war met at the Can- adian Legion club rooms and marched to the place appointed. where they were joined in the service of commemoration by other citizens in hundreds. The service, conducted by Rev. D. A. MacKeracher, was a solemn one, consisting of a prayer of thanks- giving and petition for a better Britain, a better Canada and a better world, two verses of the hymn, "O, God Our Help in Ages Past," an address, the two-min- ute silence, the Last Post, the National Anthem and the Bene- diction. A number of players of the Haileybury band accompanied the singers and Bugler W. G. P. Lewis sounded the Last Post. The bell on the fire hall close by tolled once to matk the com- mencement of the two-minute period of silence and added to the impressiveness of the cere- mony. _In_his address, Rev. MacKer- acher spoke first of the boister- is celebration of ten years ago, I § therefor. Today, ciples. "What," he asked, "does Armistice Day mean to us? What if these soldiers who lie in Flanders Fields could come to us this mornifg and ask 'was my| death for naught?' " | Going back to 480 B.C., when | at the battle of Thermopylae 300 men were annihilated for the} glory of Greece, the speaker ask- | ed what if these men could come | back and ask "Was not my death| for naught?" Again 1200 years} ago at the battle of Tours, men had fought and died to keep Eu- rope a Christian continent. What answer could be made if these men could come back and ask, "Where is the peace I died for?" Catholic Church to Spend Half Million Here in Next Year That the Roman Catholic Church would spend the sum of half a million dollars in Hailey- bury next year, was the state- ment of Mayor Charbonneau at the regular meeting of the coun- cil last night. This, the Mayor said, was now assured, and there will be considerable work done this winter by. securing and haul- ing stone from across the lake in preparation for the buildings in the spring. Mr. Charbonneau stated that he had been informed by His Lordship, Bishop Rheaume, that plans were now complete for the erection of the new Church, the Bishop's palace and the Hospital. The latter is to be erected by the Sisters of Mercy, to whom the site has already been transferred from the Sisters of Providence. The council decided to submit a by-law for the granting of a sim- ilar amount that had already been promised to the former or- ganization and also passed a by- law providing for the Hospital being exempted from water rates for a term of ten years. Purchase Ties to Help Give Farmers Work T. & N. O. Will Spend $75,000 This Fall for their Railway Ties from Settlers It has been announced from Toronto that the Government is making further arrangements to provide relief for settlers in the northern part of the Province. Premier Ferguson has directed Chairman Geo. W. Lee, ,of the T. & N. O. Commision to buy| between $75 000 vavorth of ties railway. The railway will purchase the ties direct from the settlers, pay- ing 80 cents per tie at the track and furnishings reports to the settlers as the material is brought in. At no time will the settlers be under any obligation to load the ties. The buying will commence im- mediately, and a large area will be covered in order that as many individual settlers as possible may benefit by the relief involved "We have ample supplies of ttes at the present time," said Mr. Ferguson "but notwithstand- ing, we are prepared to help out the settlers. We trust that the plan we are putting into opera- tion will be of material assistance Name New Committee To Conduct Arena --_ -- Three Men Appointed by the Council After a Long Argument The question of the handling of the arena caused a long dis- cussion at the regular meeting of the town council last night, when Councillor Adair suggested that anew committee, independent' of the council, should be appointed. Mayor Charbonneau, a member and chairman of the old commit- tee, made strenuous objection to any change being made. He declared that the council had no power to make any arrangements with regard to the.rink on the ground that the original agree- ment with the department had not been lived up to. He said that an arrangement had already been entered into with the hockey club, preliminary work had been done and there should be no change. The majority of the council took an opposite view, holding that the agreement was still binding and that the town would be responsible in the long run for the building. One mem- ber of the old committee, John 3erry, had not been active in the management last year, it was stated, had not even been con- sulted, according to his own statement, when any arrange- ments were being made. The mayor said that another man had been appointed in his place and he thought the matter should be left as it stood. Finally a motion by Councillor Adair, seconded by Councillor Pickard, named .H. C. Dunbar, Taylor Pipe and W. McCurdy as anew and independent commit- tee to carry on the arena this win- ter. This brought another pro- test, against the inclusion of the. 'ur on the committee, and two members of the council de- clined to support it. However, the motion was put and carried, Councillors Fleming and Graham supporting it and Gibson and Piche opposed. They made it clear that it was not the appoint- ment of a new committee they were opposing, but the fact that Mr. Pipe was to be a member. It was decided to send a letter of thanks to the members of thé former committee for their work during the past season and ad- vising them of the change. - An- other resolution provided for the notification of the new commit~ tee of their appointment and ad- vising them that the council de- sired the arena to be run to the object -of celebrating Armistice] workin: : i - aay. | Where is the faith that was pro- av = £ ee which is just what the North ane : z es ee Talt working on him during the week. mised?"
