District Where Big Companies Are Working; Will Carry on Development ' The McCallum Syndicate, com- McCallum and ground staked in the township of Senneville and Louvicourt, Que., | on which they will do some de- velopment work during the bal- ance of the summer. Messrs. McCallum and Adshead are in town at present, after spending the first part of the summer pros- pecting the district, and will re- turn there in the near future to carry on some development on the block of claims which they have staked. ! The district where the syndic- ate's property is located is re- ceiving considerable attention this summer, it is stated. Several of the big companies are interest- ed and there are parties of men working in various sections. The Noranda has taken over the Mat- thews property in that locality, Mr. McCallum states, and the Treadwell-Yukon, Ventures and Nipissing are all interested and doing »work on properties. The location is almost direct east of Rouyn, on the same belt as the Siscoe Gold Mines, which is draw- ing attention and is expected to prove of importance. The route in is via Amos and the property of the McCallum Syndicate is within 25 or 30 miles from the Tailway. Roman Catholic Church Burned at Charlton Word was receiVed here yester- day that St. Stephen's Roman Catholic church at Charlton, 45 miles away, was destroyed by fire about nine o'clock Tuesday night. The cause of the blaze is unknown, but when Rey. Father Roy McMahon, parish priest there, tried to enter the frame building in an effort to save some of the contents, he found the structure so thoroughly in the grip of the flames that he had to retire. Nothing was saved, buta volunteer bucket brigade suc- ceeded in preventing the fire from spreading to the priest's house and sheds nearby. No candles had been left burning and the origin of the blaze is a mystery. | | | | posed of local interests with J.j E.

LOCAL EX-SOLDIERS TO ATTEND REUNION OF PIONEER BATTALION Four ex-soldiers of Haileybury and North Cobalt have planned a trip to Sudbury to attend the re- union of the Second Canadian Pioneers, one of the battalions recruited throughout the North in the early stages of the great war. This event is to be held on Saturday in that city anda great celebration is being arranged. There will 'be a big dinner at which it is expected that many of the old soldiers from different parts of the country will be pres- ent, and there will be other en- tertainment that will no doubt recall the days when, in spite of great hardships and_ suffering, men were brought together in a way that nothing else could ac- complish. The ex-Pioneers from here who will attend the celebration are George Brown, George George, Gil. MacDonnell and Dan Hellens They are planning to motor down on Friday evening and re- turn on Sunday.

Delight with the progress of the religious experiment being made at Smooth Rock Fails, and under which members of the Un- ited Church and the Anglicans have worked out a measure of co-operation, was expressed here by Rey. T. D. Jones, minister in charge of the congregation in the paper town and who is spending a few days attending summer camp in this district. Mr. Jones was formerly at All People's Mission in Sudbury, and prev- iously had been in western Can- ada. The present scheme has been in effect for some months now, Mr. Jones explained, and he said that loyal support was being giv- en to it by both parties to the agreement. Under its provisions the regular Morning Prayer of the Anglican Church is conducted each Sunday morning, and in the evening the United Church form of worship is used. He finds, he said, that members of each com- munion are regular attendants at the services held under the auspices of the other branch. Hearty approval of Rt. Rev. J. G. A. Anderson, anglican bishop of Moosenee and his diocese ex- ecutive, was obtained before the arrangement was put in practice, Mr. Jones said, and he declared that Bishop Anderson was en- thusiastic in his support of the proposals. A lay ereader, Mr. Holmes, was appointed by the bishop to co-operate with Mr. Jones, with the latter taking the clergyman's part in the Anglican services. The only exception is in the Communion service, and arrangements were made to have Bishop Anderson visit Smooth Rock Falls at intervals to admin- ister this sacrament to his co-re- ligionists of the Anglican faith. Mr. Jones said that he had been giving this matter consideration for 20 years, but that this was the first time he had had an oppor- tunity of putting it into full prac- tice. While in the west, he de- clared, he had Co-operated with Anglicans as chance offered, and he recalled one pastorate where his Protestant church was used once a month by Roman Catholics for their service. When he came to Smooth Rock Falls last year he had found fifteen Anglican families there, without a church and dependent on oc- casional yisits from clergy in other centres for the holding of services. In the circumstance, the plan was conceived of inviting these people to co-operate with the Un- ited Church. Consent of the of- ficial board of the church was ob- tained readily, and the scheme was then broached to Bishop An- derson, after the local Anglicans had been sounded out. The bish- op consulted with his executive, and approval was given. The re- sult has been that each Sunday morning, the Anglican Prayer Book service is used in this church, the service being intoned the canticles chanted and the Anglican ritual carried out. The psalms for the day are read in gl- ternate verses by minister and congregation. Provision was made to have the Anglican families represented on the board of: the church, and the question of finances was ar- (Continued on Page 5) Price of Graves | Increased By Cobalt Council Cemetery Problem Dealt With | In Silver Town; No Clue | To Mystery Grave | The sequel to the "mystery" jgrave in Silverland cemetery de- veloped at the meeting of the |Cobalt Council Wednesday night, |when a by-law which increased the cost of dying was adopted by |the members present. Incident- jally, it developed that no clue to |the identity of the person said to be buried in the family plot of Harry Eastcott had been found, and Mayor O'Gorman told his colleagues that a legal friend had advised him to take no steps to rather to make some arrange- ment with Mr. Eastcott relative to additional ground for his plot. Under the new bylaw, the reg- ulation price of a plot of ground for four graves will be $16 in the municipality's cemetery. Single graves will be charged for in pro- portion, it is provided. The old rates were two dollars for one tomb, and six dollars for a plot of four. In introducing the bylaw, it was explained that a fresh start would be made with the burying ground, which the mun- icipality acquired for one dollar in 1927, but regarding which there is an absence of records, while the dead never has been registered. The bylaw provides for the rectifying of this omission. The Department of Health at Toron- to will be asked for information, and the sale of lots and arrange- ment for their location and dig- ging will be left to the town treasurer, with the proviso that 9 funeral is to be held until the grave is paid for. Although the cemetery became the property of the town in 1927, there were no receipts for graves later than i921 available, the mayor stated at the meeting. ------ HOLD CIVIC HOLIDAY IN NORTHERN TOWNS MONDAY, AUGUST 3RD The majority of the towns in the North will observe Monday next, August 3rd, as a civic holi- day this year and proclamations have been issued to this effect by the various. mayors and councils. Haileybury, Cobalt and New Lis- keard have decided this week on the question, Kirkland Lake and the more northern centres are also in line and, in common with a large section of the province, including Toronto, the first Mon- day in August will be observed as has been the custom for many years past. Nothing in the way of a celeb- ration has been planned here and ityis not likely that there will be anything out of the ordinary. The proclamation issued by May- or Hamilton simply asks citizens to duly observe the holiday and the business places will remain closed throughout the day. PERS), ce See No Stamps Required on Cheques of $5 and Under An announcement was made at Ottawa on Tuesday to the effect that stamps will not be required oh cheques of five dollars and un- der. The recent budget provided for the two-cent levy on all cheques, but this has been modi- fied. Previous to the passing of the budget the exemption from the tax was on all cheques of $10 or under.

NO PROVISION FOR HAILEYBURY AIRPORT IN GOVT. ESTIMATES It. had been hoped here that when the supplementary estim- ates were brought down in the House of Commons there would be something provided for the improvements to Haileybury's air harbor, a project that has been taken up on various occas- ions by the town council and the board of trade. It was hoped that if the larger scheme planned by government engineers last year could not be carried out, at least some temporary improve- ments would be made, but one fails to find anything in the pub- lished lists of proposed ex'pendit- ures. The following items appear to be the only ones that pertain to points in the North: $7,000 for a public building at Sudbury; $4.000 for a similar purpose at Timmins; $15,000 for the build- ing of a wharf at Moose Factory and $600 for the dam at Latch- ford. ---- Residents of Haileybury who heard a plane pass over the town about 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, and wondered if it was the Lindberghs, learned the follow- ing morning that it was W. H. Clarke, of the General Airways, making a late flight to Elk Lake. Freight Rate to Affect Price of Coal in Canada Local Dealer Looks for Raise Following Proposed In- crease in U.S. That the price of anthracite coal in this part of the country, and most likely throughout the dominion, would be advanced this fall was the prediction made by a local dealer this week. He stated that in all probability the freight rate schedule in the United States would be revised in the near fut- ure and that the revision would be upward, with an increase of some °35 cents per ton on coal leaving the mines for export. This authority also pointed out that the recent impost of 40 cents per ton duty on American anth- racite, together with the sales tax, had been responsible for a raise of 50 cents per ton in the fall price of coal here. While there is nothing definite settled yet as to the increase in the freight rates, there has been talk in the press of a general revision and the figure of 35 cents has been mentioned by the coal oper- ators, who are in close touch with the situation. While the ban on Russian coal has been put in force, there is still a certain quantity available in this country. This ban, with the duty on American coal, has been designed to encourage the use of Canadian coal in the cen- tral parts of the Dominion, some- thing that has always been a dif- ficult end to gain. It is held that coal from the Maritime provinces cannot be profitably shipped any farther wey than Montreal, and while measures have been taken to promoter the' sale of Alberta coal in Ontario, these have not succeededyin producing the desir- ed resul€ to any great extent. What the result of the experi- ments with the Hgnite of North- ern Ontario will be rémains yet to be seen. =k a et A radio broadcast last night from The Toronto Globe said that 110 million acres of wheat in india had been destroyed through the devastations of a plague of loucusts. Repofts also continue to come from the Canadian west that great sections of the prairie provinces will be almost totally devoid of a crop through drought.
