cas89" 'THE HAILEYBURIAN Vol. 26, No. 2 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 17th, 1930 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per yea Sportsmen Hear Address By Fish and Game Overseer W. G. Armstrong Tells Game Pro' tective Association Necessity of Conservation; Plans Made for Season's Activities and Organization Comet Some of the many difficulties| which confront those in charge of | enforcement of the game laws of the province were "outlined by Mr. W. G. Armstrong, of New Liskeard, Game and Fish Over-} seer for this district, at a meeting of the Temiskaming Fish and Game Protective Association in Englehart on Monday afternoon. That Association has recently been formed with the object of not only conserving and increas- ing the supply of game and fish in the district, but ensuring a better observation of the game laws. Englehart sportsmen took the lead in the organization and have enlisted the support of the various towns and communities in the district, and the meeting on Monday was the first annual gathering of the Association, provisional officers and executive having been named' when the project was first inaugurated in March. In his talk to the gathering, Mr. Armstrong said that they could be of the greatest assistance to him and his men in the enforce- ment of the laws and also in plac- ing before the Department of government concerned the par- ticular needs of the district. There would be a much _ better chance of securing either fry or partly grown fish to stock the streams and lakes when _ there was a responsible organization to take care of distribution, he said, and as the Department of Game and Fisheries had set aside a lake below Temagami for the propa- gation of game fish, there would be a supply available. That the waters can be successfully re- stocked was made evident by the experience of the Department _ last vear, when trout from 10 to "12 inches long had been placed in the lake and some caught at a distance of 25 miles from where they were put in. There had been mistakes made in the hand- ling of bass, he said, but these would be corrected this year and he urged the Association to lose no time in getting their requests in. Under the best of conditions, Mr. Armstrong said, only three or four per cent. of the fish thus distributed ever reached matur- ity, and in this district he believ- ed there could not be more than two per cent. Many dams in the streams, op- erated by lumber and power companies, had interfered with the natural increase of the fish, according to Mr. Armstrong. There were no facilities provided for the game fish to get around or over the dams, with the result that much of the spawn was de- stroyed by the raising and lower- (Continued on Page 5) leted at Englehart Secretary of Delegation W.

He claims that in many instances metal burners are in use, but that they have no covers, which is directly contrary to one of the by-laws of the town. In other cases the rubbish is burned on the ground, or left lying with- out being burned, a condition that the chief says will not be tolerat- ed. The increased fire hazard is the cause of the warning being is- sued.. The dry weather is ap- proaching and every bit of re- fuse left lying around adds to the danger. The open burners allow sparks to be blown around and there is always danger from this source. asks us of rubbish as That warning can be given to 95 per cent..of the workers un- derground at a mine through use of a stench gas in the air lines was proven by a test carried out at the Vipond under working con- ditions.

Railway' Cobalt Council Starts Movement Following Announcement of Abitibi Development Following .the anouncement from Toronto last week to the effect that the Abitibi Company would commence a_ $23,000,000 power development project on the Abitibi River 65 miles north of Cochrane and that the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission would purchase 100,000 horse power from that source, part of which is to be distributed to Sudbury, the Cobalt town council will peti- tion the government to have the transmission lines built along the right-of-way of the T. & N. O. Railway. A motion to that effect was passed by the council Mon- day evening and all municipal bodies and Boards of Trade from North Bay to Cochrane are to be asked to send in resolutions of a similar nature. The object of the petition, ac- cording to reports from Cobalt, is to secure, if possible, a cheaper supply of power for Temiskam- ing and Cochrane districts. It is stated that the cost of the power delivered at Sudbury will be $22 per horse power, which is consid- erably lower than the rates in op- eration at the present. The huge development project will be a great thing for the more northerly sections, whether any success is met with in having it serve the other sections or not: The development. of the lignite deposits will be facilitated by the supply of electric power and the project itself will provide a large amount of employment. A spur line from the T. & N. O. exten- sion, five or six miles in length, will be built to the power site. Highway Traffic Act Pats Limit on Loads: Provincial Police Checking Up on Heavy Hauling Which Damages Roads The loads carried on vehicles using the highways in this dist- rict are being checked up this spring, with a view to the protec- tion of the roads during the sea- son when the frost causes a soft- ening of the surface. the Highway Traffic Act has certain provisions and restrictions that have not been strictly en- forced heretofore, we are inform- ed, and some complaints have been made. Provincial Constable Allsopp, in charge of the traffic in this im- mediate district, states that there have been some infractions of the law and that in some cases heavy loads are causing damage to the roads that the provisions of the Act are designed to prevent. In the case of motor trucks the law provides that during March and April only one-half of their capacity must be carried, while the loads allowed for horse drawn vehicles are regulated by the width of the tires, 250 pounds be- irig the prescribed amount © for each inch. Thus if the tires of a wagon are two inches wide, each of the four would be allowed 500 pounds, or a total load of one ton. With the exception of the two spring months, any reasonable load may be carried on either motor or horse drawn vehicles. The regulations have been worked out with a view to secur- ing the best results in all sections of the province, but it would ap- pear that the month of May sees the roads in just as bad condition in the North Country as either April or March. Re-Opening of Haileybury Public Library is Assured Application for Incorporation Approved by Department and 500 Books Secured; Meeting Next Week Will Elect Library Board and Arrange for Quarters The re-establishment of the Haileybury Public Library is now assured,'according to Mr. R. H. Unwin, who headed a committee of the Rotary Club in a move- ment towards this end a few months ago. At a public meeting called late in March a form of application for incorporation was completed, with about 20 signa- tures representing all sections of the town, and this has been ap- proved by the Libraries Branch of the Department of Education. The next step required is for those signing the application to meet and elect a Library Board from among their number, then the library can get into operation immediately. For this purpose a meeting has been arranged to be held on Wednesday evening next, April 23rd, at the court house. All those who signed the applica- tion will be notified individually, and it is hoped that all will be Mr. Unwin and other members of the committee, together with those who signed the application, there are some 500 books provid- ed for. It is felt that this is a good commencement and _ that there will be more forthcoming through odnations when the lib- rary is opened. There only re- mains to be settled the location and this will be arranged at an early date. It is possible that temporary quarters will have to be secured until a permanent of- fice or room is available, but the committee is confident that a suit- able place will be found at an early date. When this library is finally op- ened it will fill a long felt want Haileybury, the town having been without an of this nature ever since the big fire in 1922. The thanks of the com- munity are dive ¢ e who have in institution present.

ODDFELLOWS WILL HOLD LODGE OF INSTRUCTION AT KIRKLAND TOMORROW Oddefllows of this district will meet at Kirkland Lake tomorrow for their annual Lodge of Instruc- tion, when four of the five lodges which comprise the district will) enter into competition in Degree work for the silver cup which is awarded for the best team. The| lodge in which the meeting is| held acts the part of host and does not enter the contest. A degree team from Hailey- bury Lodge will go to the Gold Camp tomorrow for the event and arrangements have been made for the return of the men from the southern section of the district on the paper train that night. About 20 will comprise the local team. Last Saturday a couple of en- terprising aviators flew to town in a light Moth plane, and during a three-day stay took up many townspeople for ten-minute rides at $10 a trip. They made a_ big killing, which is not subject to| any form of license levy--Kapus- | kasing Northern Tribune. est Will Open the Campaign for Worthy Object; Children's Aid Society Need Larger to Facilitate Work The provision of a larger and better Children's Shelter here has been the subject of discussion during several months past and, while there has been nothing de- finite decided on yet, a start to- wards raising funds for the pro- ject will be made early next month, when a violin recital by the pupils of Eric E. Smith will be held in the auditorium of the High School here. This. is an annual event con- ducted by Mr. Smith and_ the proceeds are always devoted toa worthy cause. There have been splendid entertainments given, !both in Haileybury and New Lis- jkeard and music lovers look for- ward with keen anticipation to the event. The date set is May 5th. In connection with the recital, the annual oratory contest for students at the High School will be held on that night, making the event a doubly attractive one. Tickets are now being sold by the Trail Rangers, who have un- dertaken this part of the work, and it is hoped that the proceeds will materially assist in the rais- ing of the Shelter~Fund. The project is one that should receive the support of all good citizens and there is no doubt but that the auditorium will be packed. The Shelter project is one that has long engaged the attention of those who have the care of ne- glected and homeless children of the district. The present build- ling has been found to be too small and unsuitable in other ways and it has been the hope of Children's Aid Society of Tem- iskaming that better accommoda- tions would be provided. The question was talked over at some length by a committee which met on Thursday evening last, and the needs of the Society in that regard were outlined 'by Mr JeRenseth, McCracken, the local superinten- dent. It was made plain to the committee that the time had come when it was necessary to provide better accommodation for the children, either by the erection of a new building or the acquisition of an existing one. The great obstacle, of course, is the-lack of funds and just how this can be overcome is a prob- lem. An attempt is to be made, however, and it is hoped that the project can be carried out. The need is urgent, the importance of the work among the children can- not be over-emphasized and its unlikely that anyone will fail to lend a hand, when the work is 'really started.
