Magistrate's court room proved inade-
quate to accommodate comfortably the
attendance of accused, witnesses and
spectators. The few chain were occu-
pied, many person stood around the
walls, and several remained in the ves-
tibule and on the sidewalk outside.
The firat cans of Its kind to be heard
1a this court was brought up when
Peter Fisher and Robert fuller, God-
erich township, were charged by Pro-
vincial police, now acting as game war-
dens, with unlawfully attempting to
kill Canada geese, held under permit
for propagation and decoy purposes.
The men pleaded guilty, but explained
that they did not see the fine wire en-
closure in which the birds were held
captive on the farm of Henry Archi-
bald, Goderich township. Thlnk-
ing the small flock had just
come to earth, the well crept up
near enough tor a shot with their guns
and let fly one slot each. The b111
was shot from one goose and 1t had to
be killed. Magistrate Makin was len-
ient and assessed the men only the
value of the goose and court costa. But
at that it was an expensive bit of
sport, The one shot that injured a
goose cost each man 17.35.
An Expensive "Plant”
Lewis Kirby, of Walton, charged
with assault, talked himself out of
WO, but the crowded court enjoyed
a few laughs while he did it. Kirby,
a handsome six-footer, pleaded guilty
to the charge of assaulting Alvin Far-
quharson. The court was in the dark
concerning the case, so Kirby obliging-
ly explained. It was after a dance on
November 19 that accused's car disap-
peared. He was told Farquharson had
been seen entering the car and later
accosted the youtb, who denied having
had anything to do with It. Words
passed freely and, said Kirby, "1
planted him one. He'd been raking tor
It for ten years."
"Did be stay planted?" asked the
Magistrate.
"He did for a few oinotes," replied
Kirby.At:I

Man Hiking This Way
Capreol, Dec. 2 -Rainfall has been
so unseasonably heavy the past few
weeks trappers have had to suspend
operations in the lush, according to
N. Wray, who has returned from his
trap line at Venetian Lake, southwest
of Laforeat.
"Never before have I seen so much
water in the bush at this time of
year," said Mr. Wray. "All the takes
are at high water mark, rivers are
swollen and creeks flooded."
It was impossible to trap mink, be
said, for the creeks were so swollen
traps could not be set on the banks.
He stayed at his trap line two weeks
in the hope the rains trouid stop, but
finally returned to civilization until
the freeze-up. Other trappers in the
district came out too, he said.
On his return Mr. Wray ran across
a sixty -year-old man to an old lumber
camp sixteen miles west of here who
said he had hiked•aii the way from the
Pacific Coast since last June. a was
on his way to Goderich, whee had
relatives he hoped would care for him.

Canada's tourist activities represent more than grcat industry from
which everybody benefits. They provide art opportunity to create what the
Prime Minister has described as "that feeling of neighbourliness'' which is
such a vital factor in building up cordial relations within the family of nations.
