W. B. Airth, Horace Whorley, Murray Watts and Mike Lacarte are the members of this party, working in the interests of one of the larger prospecting organizations. Commencing with a trip by rail to Coral Rapids on the T.&N.O. extension north of Cochrane, the party will make their way from that point to Moose Factory by water, where they have in stor- age freight canoes suitable for the long trip through Hudson Bay. It is planned to establish a headquarters camp near the coast of the Bay, and members of the party state that when this is done, radio messages can be sent direct to them over. KDKA. -The men are carrying with them supplies for the first three months of their projected sojourn in the North. They will use large freight canoes equipped with out- board motors while navigating the waters of the Bay and of the larger lakes and streams, Sup- plies for the balance of the time they expect to be in the wilds are being shipped by steamer to Hudson Bay, to be unloaded at the nearest accessable point to| where their headquarters will be established. Members of the party here have not received in detail the plans for the ensuing 15 months, except ina general. way. It is well known'that different organ- izations have covered consider- able portions of the country ly- ing east of Hudson Bay, and all apparently agree that the fut- ure will bring some important de- velopments in the mining: indus- try of the farther north sections. Boy Electrocuted Near His Home While at Play Curtain Rod and Ground Wire From High Power Line Cause Fatality When a curtain rod with which he had been playing came in con- tact with a ground wire from a high-voltage power line, and which apparently had become charged after the pole down which it descended to the earth had heen struck by lightning dur- intyWa recent electrical storm, Andrew Pacaud, seven years of age, met almost instant death in Cobalt yesterday afternoon. The fatality occurred within a few feet of the home of the child's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew P&ataud, who live alongside the T. & N.O. tracks at the railway end of Galena Street. According to Sergt. George Delves, of the provincial police force, the condition of the light- ning arrester on the pole indicat- ed that lightning had struck it quite recently, and this fact had gone undetected, although he had been told by both of the dead boy's parents that they had ob- served a flickering in the grass at the foot of the pole and had warned their children to keep away from there. The power line, which carries 2200 volts, serves the mill of the Cobalt Reduction Co. The police enquiries indicate that Andrew Pacaud, with his brother, Lewis, three years old, had been playing about 20 feet away from the house and that the accident hap- pened about 3.45 p.m. Mrs. Pa- caud had carried her son from the spot where he was stricken into the house and Dr. Kane was sent for, but he could only pro- nounce the lad dead.' Later in the day, the parents requested that au inquest be held, the police were told, and in the evening Dr. W. C. Arnold made enquiry and ordered an investi- gation by a coroner's jury. ond and Sandwich third. FAVORITE WON THE FAMOUS ENGLISH DERBY Here is J. A.

Effective July 1, the mat- ron, Miss Reid, will be paid $125 per month, instead of $160; the operation nurse, Miss Doherty, will receive $90, as against her present allowance of $100, and the third member, Miss Knight, is to get $70, instead of $80. Council held a special meeting on Monday night, when the re- port of its hospital committee, headed by Councillor Oliver Blais, was adopted by the whole body. Salaries paid the nurses are exclusive of room and board, which are provided at the hospit- al. In future, the institution will be known as Cobalt Municipal Hospital, instead of the Mines Hospital, under which name it has functioned for many years. Summer Schools For Teachers is Again to be Held Announcement From North Bay Gives Dates From July 6 to August 7 The Department of Education has announced that a Summer School will be conducted at North Bay this summer from July 6th to August 7th, if a sufficient num- ber of duly qualified teachers ap- ply for admission. This summer course is conducted by the De- partment for the benefiteof those teachers who desire to spend a part of their summer vecation in an effort to improve their acad- emic and professional standing and thus to become more efficient in carrying on with a modernized curriculum. No fees are charged those who attend. Teachers who served overseas during the war, are granted one dollar per day for attendance at summer school. The subjects to be taught at North Bay this summer are Mid- dle School Algebra, English Literature and Compos- ition; Upper School Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Eng- lish Literature and Composition. Applicants to attend the sum- mer school should write to the Deputy Minister of Education, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, for application forms. These should be filled out and returned at once to the Department. The North Bay Summer School will be held in the Normal School. Over four thousand teachers of | the Province of Ontario register- ed in the yarious courses conduct- ed by the Department of Educa- tion last year. It is quite evident that the teachers fully appreciate the golden opportunity offered by attendance at summer schools. SS ea Frost is Reported Through Northern Districts Monday Motorists driving between Haileybury and Englehart early on Monday morning report that in many places there could be seen traces of white frost. In Haileybury the night was quite cool, but the temperature did not reach the freezing point. No re- ports of damage to crops have been received and it is not believ- ed that the frost was very severe although could be plainly seen. The rain on Saturday and Sun- day morning gave a fresh impet- us to the gardens and prospects would appear to be good for a healthy crop throughout the dis- trict this year. ------ M. F. Fairlie and W.H. Em- mens, of the Mining Corporation with Richard Pearce, editor of The Northern Miner, left Hailey- bury at noon yesterday by plane for the Corporations mining camp in Bannockburn. W. H. Clarke, of the General Airways, met the party here and took off within a few minutes. Geometry, | lNorthern Ontario Body Plans | Gathering at Iroquois Falls in June A meeting of the Northern {Ontario Associated Boards bf | Trade is being arranged for this month and, while the date is not |definitely set, the president, C. W. | Wright, of Englehart, states in a lletter to the member Boards that ithe gathering will be held toward |the end of the month. Iroquois Falls will be the meeting place, in accordance with the decision of the Association at the annual meeting held in New Liskeard last winter. Up to the present, only an out- line of the business which will come before the meeting has been stated. The member Boards are urged to get any matters which they wish discussed ready as soon as possible and submit them in the form of resolution to the cen- tral body. They are also urged to pay up their dues for the year, as the Association is badly in need of funds with which to carry out its program. It will be recalled that a notice of motion was given at the annu- al meeting, by W. O. Langdon, of Timmins, the vice-president, that the dues of the member Boards, which are now $10 per year, be increased. This question will come up for settlement. In his letter to the Boards, President Wright states that, as a result of a short radio talk giv- en this spring from Toronto, there have been a good many en- quiries for information on the North Country received. These are both from the stand- point of tourist trade and settle- ment, and it is likely that the question of more of this sort of publicity will have a place in the discussions 'at the meeting this month.

The case had occupied the greater part of the day. before His Honor Judge Hartman, and was the first of two criminal actions to be heard. The two men are mem- bers of a colony of Finns at Round Lake and the charge arose out of a shooting affair on April llth last at the farm of John Maki. It was alleged that the two ac- cused, with one Matti Hyvarinen who had been taken along a- gainst his will, had driven ina sleigh to the farm of Maki, where A. Martilla, the complainant in the case, had been working for his board.
