The strike order has been more [Reneraly obeyed in the southern atafces, [but in New England the workers are [more indifferent. FARMERS OF REID LAKE DISTRICT HOLD SUCCESSFUL FAIR Premier Bennett to Take no Part in By-Elections Started for Europe on Friday and Expects to be Away for Four or Five Weeks FIVE SEATS AFFECTED Three Were Held by Conservatives and Remaining Two by Liberal Party Ottawa, Sept. 4�The Conservative party will have to get alon-g without the personal appearance of Premier Bennett in ;*he five federal by-elections which are to be held on Monday, Septemebr 24'h, as the premier started for Quebec on Friday where he will take a steamer for Europe to attend he League of Nations assembly at Geneva. The prettier was accompauiad by Dr. O. D. Skelton, under secretary of state for foreign affairs. He expects *x> be absent for four or five weeks going on to London from Geneva. Of the five seats involved in the by-elections two of them were held by the Liberals. Elgin West was vacated by Mitche'l Hepburn when he entered upon h's successful provincial cara-piign in Ontario, and Kenora-Rainy River was vacated by Hon. Pe'er Hee-nan when he resigned to enter the Hepburn cabinet. The o her three seats held by the Conservatives were all vacated by the death of the sitting member. Toronto East was held by Hon. E. B. Ryckman, and has always been regarded as safe for the Conservatives, although the Ryckman majority came down from 13,000 in 1925 \o 7000 In 1930. North York was vacated by the death of T. H. Lennox. The seat has been held in turn for the Liberals by Sir William Mulock, Sir Allen Wylesworth and Mackenzie King, but in 1925 the NORTHERN REEF IS SHAPING DEVELOPMENT ON THE McDOUGALL * Foil McLeod, Aug. 28�The Northern Reef Gold Mines Is assembling tihe tractor on the company's townsite at Martin's Plats, one mile below the fort. A tractor road has been cu-from the flats to the company's property on the McDouga.ll river and ditch lines have been cut out. The grading of these will be the first work of the factor. The company has under construction three dams at'Green Timber lake. Gold .'is still holding strong at Alec's Point. F. B. Chetteburgh expec Is to be in Prince George on September 2nd to meet Cap'ain Everall, secretary of the Northern Reef Gold Mines, who is on his way in from Victoria. The Gold Nugget Company and the Cariboo Northern will each have camps on ;5he McDougall r.ver next season when systematic development will be undertaken. Dr. Bayer, of Philadeli>hia. and party left the Fort today with Ben Cork, on a hunting trip along the Finlay river. Red McEwen is reposed to be still in pay gravel on the Nat'on river. Celebration of Labor Day Was Enjoyable Affair T. D. GALLOWAY MAKES EXAMINATION OF MINE PROPERTY IN NORTH electors Lenrtox. rejected K;ng and returned The Lennox majorities never The farmers in the Reid Lake district held a very successful fair in the Rod Lake schoblhouse on Wednesday. [August 29th. The fair had the en-fuisiastic support of i5ie community, with the result in a commendable exhibit of farm produce in quality as well as volume. The women'.; section of the fa,'r was especially attractive presenting evidence of much indusilry on the part of the ladies and superior workmanship. Throughout the day wertl above 500. Fronfcenac-Addin^ton became vacant with the death of Dr. W. Spankie. It is even more Tory than the Toronto seats. The united constituency was creajed in 1924 since which trone it haV remained consistently Conservative,' while the Frontenac division of tihe rid'ng has not elected a Liberal since confederation. If the Liberals were to cany Frontenac-Addington there would be occasion for concern at Oitavva. but they might carry York North and even Toronto East without cause for uneasiness. Premier Bennett does noJ require the three Conservative seats to carry on. The nep federal general elections will be calhed some time after August 31st, and in the interim Premier Ben-net will meet parliament, and in all probability present a balanced budget, some'hing Canada has not seen for a number of years. The revenues are up $25,000,000 for the first five months of the current fiscal year, and if this ra'e of increase Ls maintained it is asserted Premier Bennett can provide for unemployment relief and balance he national budget with the exception of the defied on the Canadian National. -------------o------------- RAINBOW PICKED BY RACING COMMITTEE TO DEFEND APERICA CUP John D. Galloway, who re ired some weeks ago from the position of provincial mineralogist to engage in private practice, has completed an examination of a number of properties in the vicinity of the Rocher de Boule mountain as well as J!he Belway group on Kalum Lake, in the interests of Vancouver mining brokers, and it is expected some activity may result. Before his advancement to the position of provincial mineralogist Mr. Galloway was resident engineer for this district and is therefore well informed as to its mining pc-ssibilites. He has been succeeded as provincial mineralogist by Dr. John Fortune Walker, of the geological survey of Canada, who entered upon his new duties on :he first of the month.
