Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Active Work Commences on Construction of Airport Coming of Snow This Week Enables Farmers to Haul Timber and Operations Now Being Carried On; Departmental En- gineer Visits Works This Week Active work on the construc- tion of the new airport is now under way. Various stances had caused' more delay than was anticipated, chief a- mong them being the lack of snow for bush roads to get out the timber that had been purchas- ed from settlers in the vicinity, but the snowfall this week, while not sufficient for good sleighing, has made it possible to haul light loads. The was delivéred on the site yester- circum- first of this timber day morning. For the past have been a number of men em- few days there ployed getting a supply of rock gathered up along the shore. This will be used in the seawall and a great quantity will be re- quired. Up to yesterday about 20 men had secured employment and a number of others went to work this morning, so that it appears as though the majority will se- cure work on the project. Mr. Alex Vermette, a depart- mental engineer who has_ had charge of the project since its in- ception, was in Haileybury for a few days this week while the work was got under way. A slight change in the original plans was necessary on account of the position of the town's intake pipe for the waterworks, but this has been overcome and it is expected that the construction of the sea- wall will proceed without inter- ruption. The building of this breakwater will greatly improve \the harbor facilities for aircraft, as the flyers will be able to find shelter for their machines weather. ® GEO. L. T. BULL, K.C.

H. Black, well known throughout the North Country and a former resident of Hailey- bury, has been elected president of the Toronto Board of Trade, an honor that is well deserved and that marks perhaps a greater appreciation of the North than has heretofore been the case in the southern part of the province. Perhaps the best example of how the city is looking upon the elec- tion of Mr. Black is to be found in the following editorial refer- ence in the Mail and Empire, un- der the heading "Toronto Empha- tario": 4 \ "Lhe -election of "Mr. Black, president of the Dominion Construction Corporation Limit- ed, to the presidency of the To- ronto Board of Trade is credit- able both to the Board and to Mr. Black himself. The new president has played a prominent part in the development of Nor- thern Ontario's riches, which have contributed so largely in the past 30 years to the upbuild- ing and greatness of Toronto. sizes Its Faith in Northern "A tent to which Toronto's manu- facturing and business interests are dependent upon the immense consuming power of the mining, paper and power companies locat- ed north of the French River. The activities of men like Mr. Black make it certain that Nor- thern Ontario's development will be pushed forward on an_ ever- extending scale. It is particular- ly from this standpoint that his election to the chief office in the gift of the Board of Trade is to be appreciated. In choosing him as its president the Board has not only paid a well-merited com- pliment to New Ontario, but it has blazoned forth the certain faith of this city in the future of the great North Country." LOCAL MAN AWARDED WATER LINE CONTRACT TO BROWNING STREET The town council, at a special session yesterday afternoon, a- warded the contract for the new water line from the reservoir to Browning Street to Godfrey Lar- son, a local contractor. The dis- tance is 1000 feet and the line will be put in to give the residents west of the T. & N. O. Railway a better pressure than has _ been the case. This will form a part of the new system when the line from Constance Lake is complet- ed. Mr. Larson's tender was for the sum of $2,000, with an addi- tional $1 per cubic yard for rock excavation. The work consists of trenching and laying the pipe, which is supplied by the town, covering it to a depth of six feet, the same specifications as apply to the larger contract for the line to Constance Lake. Boards of Trade Association To Meetin Timmins Annual Gathering to be Held Early in February; Will Discuss Advertising A circular from C. W. Wright, of Englehart, president of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, states that the annual meeting of the Associa- tion will be held early in Febru- ary at the town of Timmins. The exact date had not, been set at the time the letter was sent out to the member boards, but it is ex- pected that it will be announced shortly, In his letter to the Boards President Wright states that, while the agenda of the meeting 1S\; t complete, the question of r North Country tising tic es attention of the ' ~uering for some time, as sev- y "suggestions have been sub- ( ' 2 nvitted to the executive since the last meeting. Mr. Wright con- siders this a. timely topic and hints that all suggestions will have due consideration. Railway questions will likely be up for discussion, following a res- olution of the Cochrane Board, which urges on the Royal Com- mission on railways the proposal that the transcontinental line be made available to both C.P.R. and Canadian National for the better service between the east and west. Other matters will be dis- cussed and the meeting will likely extend over the usual day and ev- ening sessions. New officers will be elected. All Boards of Trade which are}| members of the Association asked to prepare and among the member Boards any resolutions that they wish to pre- sent to the meeting, sending a copy to the president. This will save time and facilitate the bus- iness of the meeting. are The regular sittings of the Di- vision Court, scheduled this month for Cobalt, will be held before Judge Hayward tomorrow. circulate]| Called P Firebug; Constables Find No ASSASSIN'S TARGET Cag \ According to disclosures made in Moscow, the recent attempt to assassinate M. Hirota (above) Japanese Ambassador to Russia, was the result of a plot to pro- voke war between the Soviet and Japan. The "Red" press has re- peatedly asserted that "capatilis- tic and imperialistic" powers were doing their utmost to bring about such a clash. ANNUAL MEETING OF LIBRARY ASSOCIATION CALLED FOR NEXT WEEK The annual meeting of the Haileybury Library Association, the body which governs the local public library, has been called for Thursday evening next in Hotel Haileybury. It is hoped and ex- pexted that there will be a large attendance, as it is understood that all members are invitedjand it is well known that the library has proved a great boon to Hail- eytiury citizens. . The splendid work of the Board, which con- sists of nine members, has brought the library to a high state of efficiency and it will be particularly interesting to hear a report of the year's progress. The present Board is constitut- ed as follows: President, His Honor Judge Hayward; secretary Mr. R. H. Unwin; treasurer, Mr. A. G. Kirkpatrick; members, Mrs. J. C. Houston, Mrs. Jos. A Thought Fire Incendiary rovincial Police Casey Township Farmer Loses Garage, Car and Barn and Fears Indication of Incendiarism; Blame Short Circuit or Cigarette ------~-- When the garage at the farm of John Armstrong, in Casey Township, was destroyed by fire on Friday night last, and the | flames spread to the barn which i stood nearby, Mr. Armstrong be- came alarmed with the idea that it might be the work of a firebug and sought the aid of Provincial Police headquarters here, The Ifire started at about 9.30 p.m., shortly after Russell Armstrong, ja son of the owner of the farm, \had returned with the car froma trip to New Liskeard. He left the car in the garage and went to the house and in a few minutes the flames were noticed. They had gained such headway that the building and car were quickly consumed in spite of efforts to extinguish the blaze. Sparks from the burning gar- age set fire to the barn, which stood nearby, and in a very short time that building was also a to- tal loss. Working with all speed, the men at the farm were able to rescue all the live stock from the burning building, but'a quantity of feed and other articles lost. were When police headquarters was notified Constables Pretorius and Hocken went immediately to the farm to investigate, but could find no trace of anything that would lead to the belief that the fire was incendiary. They stated that so far as could be determined after the buildings had been de- stroyed, the fire originated inside the garage. They.believed that either a short circuit in the en- gine of the car, or, a_ carelessly dropped cigarette, had betn re- sponsible for the blaze. {[ 9 <== Mr. Armstrong told the officers that there.was no insurance on the buildings or on the car, a Durant 6. The loss is a heavy one for the farmer, coming in the middle of winter and leaving him without shelter for his stock and a reduced supply of feed, to say nothing of the many small ar- ticles destroyed.
