McGillivray, R. 299 Jan. 32 4 Vol. 29; No. 33 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd, 1933 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Boards ee Trade want Road Paved - Between Towns Believe Time Ripe for Project Covering Ten Miles; New Liskeard Takes Lead Selieving that the time is ripe to press for the paving of "the Ferguson Highway through the three principal to wns in this part of the district, the New Liskeard Board of Trade at a meeting last night passed a resolution to be submitted to Premier Henry and Hon. Leopold Maculay, Minister of Highways, urging that this work be undertaken in the near future. The New Liskeard Board sent invitations to both Hailey- bury and Cobalt Boards to be present at the\meeting and those who attended from the two towns !20th of the month. ; | were urged to call-meetings of} their Boards to take similar ac- tion at_an early date. In the meantime the resolution from New Liskeard is being sent for- ward, in order to start the ball rolling. Members of the MHaileybury Board who were spoken to on the question were all in accord with the idea. They point out that, as the government is endeavoring to substitute employment for direct relief as far as possible, this should be an admirable scheme. Recent improvements which have been made on the stretch of highway between the three towns together with others that are contemplated, make the road a permanent one, and anyone can see during the motoring season that the amount of traffic appears to warrant the _ expenditure, which would eliminate large sums in repairing, besides givifg much better satisfaction. There seems to be no reason to doubt that both Cobalt and Hail- ' willet behind the project EF part to impress on ent the importance his work commenced y date. Even auring the present winter a start could be made by hauling the necessary materials, as is done in other sec- tions of the province. While the necessity for provid- ing a better roadway cannot be denied, the proyision of employ- ment is perhaps the greatest need at the present, it is pointed out by those who are behind the scheme. It is also stated that, while the paving of sections of the Fergu- son Highway has been discussed on many there has been no concerted effert to bring the question directly to the notice of the government.. This is tobe remedied through the Boards of Trade, and every citizen should support those organizations every possible way. occasions, Rummage Sale Under Auspices of In|; BREAK IN COLD SPELL ON TUESDAY BROUGHT RAIN, HAIL, THUNDER A short break on Tuesday in the cold spell that has been pre- valent during this month brought with it a variety of weather that is not often experienced in this section of the country. There was rain, hail and thunder, inter- spersed with short periods of sun- light, and it looked as though there was a big break coming. However, it did not last long and that eyening another change} came, with a shifting of the wind towards the north and a decided drop in temperature. Compared with last November, the present has been a very cold month. Temperatures of four, five and six below zero have been common, whereas last year the first zero touched was on the Eight below on the 26th and three on the 27th were the coldest points touched during the month last year and the temperature rose from then on for several days. Carry on Work at Gillies Airport Through Winter Gover t Changes Decisi Stop Operations; Only One Third of Site Cleared to Dr. E. F. Armstrong, president of the Cobalt Board of Trade, learned early this week from Ot- tawa that the Department of National Defence would continue the work of clearing the airport site at Gillies' Depot throughout the winter, and that the 55 men employed there would be kept on. It had been announced that the camp, in common with several others of a like nature, would be closed and the men transferred to different airport sites, but Dr Armstrong communicated with the Department and secured the! jassurance 'that the projédt would| ¢ ;when he and Davis made a deal be carried on. Dr. Armstrong stated that the 360 acres which comprise the site, only one-third had so far been cleared of trees and that less than 50 acres had been stumped. He emphasized the fact that the wood cut on the ground was needed for relief supplies and also that the airport site would be an ideal one for camp purposes when militia units hold their 'annual training period in the district, as they did a couple of years ago. Men at the camp were recruited chiefly from the unemployed single men of the. district and have found the work there much more satisfactory than remaining on relief in the towns and com- munities. of The Week's Weather: Week ending November 21st | Max.

Davis in Court Here; May Be Appeal The contention of Aben B. Davis, dairyman of Argentite, that Taylor Pipe owed him 7,500 shares of Goodfish Gold Mines stock to be offset against a prom- issory note for $484.68 which plaintiff held from Davis, failed when the action brought by Pipe was tried before Judge Hartman in District Court heré last Friday. on a grocery bill which the de- fendant Davis admitted and while there was no dispute over either the note, dated Octo- ber 1, 1931, or its several renew- als, much of the evidence related to a mining deal in which both parties had been intrested, and involving a claim in Bernhardt to the 125,000 township they had sold Goodfish interests for shares of stock. His Honor gave judgment for the plaintiff, with costs, while he dismissed the counter claim, but it is likely that an appeal will be taken to Osgoode Hall by Davis, according to his counsel, George Mitchell, K.C. The history of the claim goes back more than two decades from the time of its stak- ing by prospectors, at which time it was registered in the name of John and Jacob Otto. In 1913, the evidence stated, Davis acquir- ed the claim by buying out the others, with whom he had been associated, and in September 1923 after keeping it in good standing in the interval, he had given Pipe a 9-20ths interest in part pay- ment of a bill at Pipe's Cobalt store, the value being placed at $1,000. Pipe did not register his inter- est until January 5, 1928, "and with the Goodfish Company later on, the Otto brothers and William Scanlon, another associate, fyled a caution, claiming a one third in- terest in the land. M. G. Hunt, secretary-treasurer of the com- pany, produced records dealing with this phase of the dispute, of which Pipe disclaimed any inter- ference by him, and of which it was sworn that the caution had been against the Davis interest only. Davis maintained that, act- ing on. Pipe's advice he had set- tled with the Ottos and Scanlon for 15,000 shares of the com- pany's stock, Pipe to go 50-50 on the deal, but it transpired that the entire number had been ducted from Davis' stock, Plaintiff denied any dealings of this nature and said he had no knowledge of the brothers Ottto, although on this point defendant declared they had traded with Pipe in 1911 and would not go anywhere else for supplies at that time. Plaintiff admitted know- ing Scanlon, but denied having' share of the While the case was based largely | ing for the Toronto solicitors of owing, | Mining Company Loses its Appeal on Assessment Aladdin-Cobalt Will. Take Case to Ontario Railway and -- Municipal Board Judgeé Hat eman 'on Tuesday dismissed the appeal brought by the Aladdin-Cobalt Mines Limit- ed, against a decision of the Court of Re in. Cobalt, andthe question of the proper assessment of the company's lots in that town will be taken to the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board for further considération, it was in- timated by J. A. Legris, appear- the English mining concern. His Honor previously had sug- gested that a stated case be sub- mitted toan Osgoode Hall bench of Supreme Court Judges, and Mr. Legris was willing to adopt this course, but the Cobalt Town Council, to whom it had been re- ferred, would not agree and de- cided to let the matter rest with His Honor. Mr, Legris already had stated his clients had intend- ed to. go to the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board if the judge's decision "was not favorable to them. The dispute is one of long standing. The company contends that there is no registered plan of its holdings in the town of Cobalt and that its lots there, both those vacant and those occupied by tenants under leases, have been doubly assessed. There was a similar appeal last year to Judge Hayward, at which time a confer- ence between the interested par- ties was suggested by the Judge, but this never materialized and no decision ever had been given in the case. .

To his counsel, C. F. Tuer, he maintained the two jitems were separate transactions.

Heard Broadcast From Miles Above Earth's Surface Local Radio Fan's Short Wave Set Picks Up Conversation of Balloonists Wm. Farmer, Rorke Avenue, had the unusual experience on Monday of listening in to a con- versation carried on between bal- loonists miles up in the air and their coadjutors on the earth, through the medium of his short wave receiving set in his home. The reception was quite clear, Mr. Farmer says, and he was able to follow the talk without diffi- culty. The balloonists were Lieut.- Commander T. G. W. Settle, of the U.S. Navy and Major Chester L. Fordney, who accompanied him on a flight into the strato= sphere from Akron, Ohio. They kept in touch with Col. Frank Knox, of the Chicago Daily News, until they had reached an altitude of over 53,000 feet, and reports published on Tuesday said the balloon had been up to a height of 58,000 feet before the descent was begun. The flight started at 9.27 a.m. and the big balloon was brought safely to earth at about eight o'clock that night in a marsh near Elnter, New Jersey. The majority of local people are less concerned with the scien- tific objects of the trip into the upper air than they are with the fact that radio broadcasting has been brought to such a stage in its development that a conversa- tion, carried on under such condi- tions, could be heard so plainly at this distance. It appears that the short wave receiving sets have al- most eliminated distance entirely, and no one can foresee what may be accomplished in another few years. Police Watching Pulp Cutters on Strike in North . Terms Secured in Spruce Falls Settlement Provincial poli¢e to the number of 15 are said td be watching a gathering of 500 pulp cutters, who have gone on strike in the Smooth Rock Falls district,where they were employed by the Abi- tibi Power and Paper Company, and where they have asked the same terms and conditions as those obtained by men of the Spruce Falls Company at Kapus- kasing, who took similar actiona few weeks ago. Reports from Cochrane, where the men have congregated, this week, are to the effect that there has been no disorder, but precautionary mea- sures are being taken by the pro- vincial officers. Inspector F. B. Creasy, in charge of district-head- quarters in Haileybury, went to Cochrane at the week-end and a number of officers from | other points have been there for some days. Sergeant Roy Elliott, re- cently promoted to that rank, is in charge at the northern town One Toronto paper on Friday reported that the srikers have rented two large hotels in Coch- rane, where they are staying, and have prepared for a 10-month struggle with the, employers. Their resources have been pooled and they are receiving assistance from union workers in other lines it is claimed. More men are ex- pected to join the ranks, but. all was orderly, although the men any strike breakers being sent in to the abandoned camps. It is said that they stopped all vehicles leaving Cochrane in the direction of the Smooth Rock district with this object in view. SRS eee Local Man Gets Position = . j ys I. B. Roger, a resident of Hail- eybury for several years past, has secured a position as manager for the Iroquois Falls Drug Co. and will leave-at the end of this week for the paper town.
