There is a good deal said about the desirability of the store owner in the smaller communities, yet people go to the city and hunt out the larger stores when they want to buy an article, thus making the big fellow bigger and the little fellow smaller. And the strange part of it is that the same person, after having helped the bigger fel- low with his patronage, will sit down and howl his head off about how big business in this country is strangling the little fellow. It isn’t big business that strangled the little fellowâ€"it is the customer who gives his trade to the big fellow who is responsibleâ€"Tweed News. v “While the language of the Globe was carefully se- lected so that it could not be accused of glorifying crime the whole tenor of its news articles conveyed the idea that a glamorous figure in the public life of Canada had met an untimely end. Red Ryan was a rotter of the worst kind. All his life he had preyed upon the public and al- ways took his victims at a mean adv'antage. When he was finally landed in jail he played the part of a despic- able hypocrite and worked upon the sympathies of the of- ficials with claims of regeneration that he was released on parole. Running true to form he betrayed the trust plac- ed in him by priest and people and returned to his life of crime. He was only shot" down after he had killed a de- cent. citizen of Canada and instead of being considered somewhat in the light of a hero his name should be a by- word for shame and infamy on the lips of all who men- tion it.” Here are some points that are worth remembering in regard to Ontario’s 10,648 highway accidents last year: More than half (52.9 per cent.) occurred during dusk or darkness. The fatal accident experience of drivers 65 years of age or over was 37 per cent. worse than the average for all the drivers involved while for the group from 18 to 24 it was 13 per cent above the average. 7 Accidents happened more frequently on Saturday than on any other day. One per cent of the drivers in all accidents and four per cent. of the drivers involved in fatal accidents were listed as “intoxicated.” Children playing in the street resulted in 43 fatal accidents and 895 injuries. For the five years from 1931 to 1935 there were 2,548 highway fatalities in the province. Eliminating the glamour which has been built around crime feats is an important step in fighting crime. The Burks Falls Arrow comments on the notorious case of “Red” Ryan and takes the Globe to task about giv- ing so much space in its news columns to the life and ac- tivities “of a man who met his just deserts at the hands of a policeman when he staged a hold-up.” The Globe was not alone in “playing up” jthe Ryan case, but the Burks Falls newspaper’s views are 00d for thought. The paper says in part: wwav vv v»-.. v--y The development of new mineral areas, the safety of mines, the regulation and control of the entire industry, are matters that are being ably handled by Mr. Leduc and his departmental officials. There is no governmental red-tape to hinder the work. Government geologists are constantly at work studying areas in the north, helping to encourage prospecting and thus uncover new sources of wealth. And the Hydro Commission is doing its share by supplying power when those new sources of richness are ready to yield up their treasures. The latest action of the Hydro Commission is the an- nouncement that half a million dollars will be spent in purchasing and installing a new generator in the Ear Falls development which supplies the Red Lake mining proper- ties. Red Lake is one of the neWer gold mining areas and several properties are scheduled to be placed in production within a few months. This new generator assures a plenâ€" tiful supply of power at low cost. Mining men look with pleasure on the forward attitude of the commission. They know full well that no matter how rich a mine may be, it is of little value unless there is electrical energy avail- able to turn the wheels. , _ _ n Linked up with the development of the mining indus- try, particularly the gold mining section of it, is the ex- tension of Hydro service to Northern Ontario. No mining property can be successful unless there is an assured vol- ume of cheap electrical energy. The Ontario Hydro Com- mission is seeing to it that wherever a genuine demand exists power is made available: All the good work of the Mines Department would be nullified if the Hydro Com- mission failed to adopt a progressive policy with respect to supplying propertiesrwith power.__ The Mines Department under Hon. Charles McCrea functioned smoothly and effectively in the interests of the industry as a Whole. Under Hon. Paul Leduc it is con- tinuing to perform its useful work. The Hepburn government is no exception to the rule. In fact, the Department of Mines under Hon. Paul Leduc has adopted a far-sighted policy in regard to mineral de- velopment in Northern Ontario. Some time ago Premier Hepburn promised the people of Ontario that if elected to office he would do all in his power to aid the mining in- dustry. Later, when he took over the reins at Queen’s Park, he assured the industry that so far as Ontario was concerned there would be no tax levy on mines or their production, other than that which already existed; It is pleasing to note that no matter what government happens to be in power in Ontario, political expediency plays little or no part in the administration of the mining resources of the province. Of course, some governments have done more than others to help develop the riches which lie hidden beneath the earth, but all governments, enterprising or otherwise, have known enough to leave this great industry free of crippling taxation and embarass- ing regulations.

Menzies who lives at Selwyn Creek, 'Fort Selkirk, Yukon, telling of the terrible floods in that area early in May. The floods came with such suddenness that they were forced to flee from their homes to the higher levels of the hills. Mrs. Menzies with her husband and family slept for four nights in the open. before the flood subsided and they were able to return to their flood devas- tated homes. During these four days they endured much hardship and priâ€" vation from [lack of proper food and clothing. Much loss was also suff- ered through the loss of livestock, and personal belongings. In the wake ‘of the flood were found many pe-‘ culiar and almost amusing incidents} of the disaster. A crockery tea pot[ was floated out of Mrs. Menzies’ cup- board and found in the basement, unbroken. A number of pictures on the kitchen table were practically un- spoiled, the table having risen with the flood and remained upright, and _' the pictures hardly got wet. A tableE on the verandah with a pair of high rubber boots standing upright on top? of it was carried away about half‘ a mile and after the flood the table' was standing upright and the boots still standing on top. ,‘ YUKON FLOOD CAUSES GREAT LOSS, MUCH HARDSHIP SATURDAY, JUNE 20TH At 1 p.m., D.S.T.
