THURSDAY, SEPT. 29th, 1932 THE HAILE YBURIAN Page 3. Cobalt Men Are Optimistic Over Great Bear Lake Spent Seven Months in Area and Tell of Experiences; Saw the Midnight Sun Both declaring they had thor- oughly enjoyed their trip and that they welcomed the opportun- ity of seeing the latest mining camp, far in Canada's Northland, James Thornham and Wilfred Donaldson are back at their homes in Cobalt after spending sever months in the Great Bear Lake district. Flying out as far as Water- ways, the Alberta community where the railway begins on the homeward run, the 'plane in which they were flown out cov- ered the 900 miles which separate the points in six hours and forty minutes, actual flying time, and the first three hundred miles was made in one hour and 50 minutes, with a strong tail wind favoring the pilot. At Waterways, there was a de- lay of five days, while the re- turning Cobalters waited for the weekly "mixed" train to come along, but once it had started back for Edmonton, travel was fairly continuous. Both men de- elared they were optimistic over the future of the Great Bear Lake district, as regards its min- eral prospects, and Mr. Donald- son spoke also of the agricultural possibilities of the country north from Edmonton and beyond Waterways. He said there had been a splendid crop of wheat in that area this year, of fine qual- ity and large yield, and he had learned from other travelers that the Peace River section was still better. Cars of wheat were pick- ed up at every elevator south from Waterways. Stock raising had been carried on successfully, Mr. Donaldson had noted, in some parts of the country. Weather conditions during the summer had been of the very best, according to Mr. Thorn- ham, and he said there had not been more than six days in the entire time spent there on which the sun did_not shine. Over an average round of the clock in daylight, there was more sun- Ontario, apart entirely from the longer hours during which the sun was visible in the summer. He had seen the midnight sun, with Sol just above the horizon. On the warmest day, the temper- ature went up to 90 in the shade, and even in March, when the thermometer was registering 40 below during the night, the sun was bright and warm in the day- time. Mr. Donaldson told of seeing monster trout in ice cold waters of the lake, and his companion said that, in the height of the summer, the temperature of the water did not rise above 38 de- grees. There was little swim- ming there, in consequence. Mr. Thornham said that, when six inches of ice remained on Great Bear Lake, the thermometers were hitting 62 degrees, and men were moving around in shirt sleeves. The ice moved out very slowly from Great Bear Lake and from the surface. Mosqui- toes and black flies were there in myriads, Mr. Thornham stated, and they were much more vora- cious in their appetites than the samples of the breeds found in these parts. Game was abundant and fishing a real joy, it was de- clared. : One thing that struck Mr. Don- aldson forcibly was the prepon- derance of old timers on the trails. The veterans far out- numbered the younger men, he said on his return. He took part in the Klondike rush, and at that time, he had found the younger men mostly engaged in the search for gold, but conditions were reversed in the Northwest Territories this time. He told of meeting an ex-inspector of the Mounted Police, who had been located at Churchill as far back as 1883, and who is now retired and has a fine home in Edmon- ton, but the lure of the wilds was too much for him, and he spent the summer months freighting on the water. He is going back again next year, so he said. Mr. Donaldson thinks the young men of today have no need to get out as their fathers had to do, and that the spread of edu- cation perhaps explains their comparative absence from the tush north. They have better YANKEE BLUDGEONS TOO HEAVY FOR THE CUBS IN FIRST GAME The New York Yankees, cham- pions of the American League, won the first World's Series base- ball game with the Chicago Cubs, National League title holders, at New York yesterday, by a score of 12-6. The big bats of the Broadway Bombardiers knocked Guy Bush, Bruin ace, from the mound in the sixth, slamming his offerings for six runs, and a lead which the Chicago lads could not make up. The Cubs jumped on "Red" Ruffing for two tallies in the first frame, but the Yanks came back to tie it up, and then stage their big inning. Grimes relieved Bush on the mound and the Ruthian forces got to him for a quartette of counters before the finish. Batteries for today will likely be Gomez and Dickey for New York, with Warneke and Hart- nett for the Cubs. Car Damaged, Owner Shaken Up in Accident Tuesday Night When he swerved his car to avoid children hauling a_ tree along the main road near the O'Brien mill at Mileage. 104 on Tuesday evening, George Bullen ran into the ditch, damaging the machine to some extent and him- self getting a shaking-up. He was alone at the time, and proceeding to an Odd Fellows' banquet at Haileybury. He came on the youngsters suddenly and had to act promptly. The car was able to return to Cobalt under its own power, but one door and other parts were affected. Rain Yesterday Spoiled ' Public School Field Day A heavy shower of rain yester- day afternoon spoiled the field day which had been planned to be_held at Farr's Park for the public school pupils. It com- menced just after the boys and girls with their teachers and a number of parents and friends had arrived at the park and, al- though the shower did not last long, it was heavy enough to spoil the track for the races and other sports. The event was postponed until next Wednesday 'the weather is at all favorable: Hunters From South Bring Out Trophies of the Chase Hunters from the south are already bringing out trophies of the chase, the moose and deer season being now open to the north of the Transcontinental Railway. Tuesday morning a motor car with a New Jersey li- cense was seen in Haileybury on the way south and bore on the radiator two nice sets of moose horns, which were admired by local people... They were not very large, but they were well formed and would make fine or- were attached to the afternoon train yesterday for the accom- modation of the teachers of the Cochrane inspectorate, who are spending today at Moosonee as part of their annual convention.

On the other hand, the boys claim that the issue was never in doubt and, although they only had a lead of two points at the finish, they simply let the old men catch up a little in the last few ends so that they would not feel too badly. The senior rink was composed of J. R. McCracken, Sheriff Cald- bick, W. T. Joy and J. H. Mc- Farlane. Opposing them were Gordon McCracken, Ward Cald- bick, Francis Joy and Leslie Mc- Farlane. John Cerensky of Kirkland Lake, is facing a charge of try- ing to buy a job at the Wright- Hargreaves mine. It is claimed that he offered $100 to secure a position. GRAND MASTER OF ODDFELLOWS IS GUEST OF LODGES (Continued from Page 1) Master said, "a mighty, moving force," and this was only one fraternal organization. "We have become a more seriously thinking people as a result of world con- ditions at the present time," the speaker said, "and we have the opportunity, as never before, to show what fraternity can do. No organization hat more healing power, but we have been slow to realize it, and slow to realize that the man who puts most into any- thing is the man who gets the most out of it. The man who has Oddfellowship in its true sense in his heart is not the grumbler, but the one who is willing to follow out its true principles." In concluding his remarks the Grand Master said that, while the Order had suffered a reductiomin numbers during the bad times, it was in better condition than at Thexel had been a certain weeding out of the "deadwood" and the man who had joined for the purpose of getting something for himself had been eliminated largely. He believed that a halt would be called in the reduction of the great army, he said, although times were still bad, there were prospects for better things ahead. He asked the support Of all lodges in the district towards this end and concluded with an expression of his belief that the members of the Order had lost their pessi- mistic ideas and could look ,for- ward with confidence for better times in the future. Bro. A. J. Brown, D.D.G.M., assured the Grand Master that from his address. Other promi- nent members of the Order who spoke briefly were Bro. C. A.
