Henry, after making a fire on Dead Poplar point, Walked the 14 miles pi - to Grand: Bay Indian reserve at tdie southerly tip of Lake Nipigon. Pilot Flies to Scene Shortly before Henry's arrival, Frank Hawthorne had landed his plane there with a lakehead doctor whom he was taking to the Gull bay reserve. Hawthorne immediately took off for the scene of the accident, ac- companied by Fred Sikes, an'emp4oyee of a tie camp, and after locating it from • the air, continued on to Port Mc iarinid and notified J. G. Burk at Port Arthur of the fatality. • The pilot then secured the coroner's authorization and instructions from Mr. Burk to remove the body. The two men took. block and tackle from McDiarmad to Grand Bay. After transporting a brother of John Henry to the accident scene, with the block and tackle, Hawthorne went back to Grand Bay, returning with Fred Sikes. In the meantime a dog team with a canoe on board had set out from the reserve to the accident scene. Hawthorne, Sikes and the Indian made a. camli fire on the point to await the arrival of the dog team. About 8.30 o'clock the cries of the driver and the yelping of the dogs were heard coming around the point. Indian Dogs Howl Requiem By this time it was dark. The men launched. the canoe in the ice hole, which was about 12 feet by 15 feet in size. While Hawthorne steadied the canoe, She Indian, Henry, smash- ed in the side of tie flimsy snowmo- bile with this paddle. By the aid of flashlights a hook was attached to the clothing of • )avid Laidlaw, and he was raised sufficiently to allow the men to pass ropes under his armpits. No sooner had the body of the dead man been brought to the surface about thalf en hour later than the six husky dogs comprising the Indian team began to howl and continued the long, wailing cries. ntil they were ready to make the urn trip. The body was placed i e canoe which was lashed to the sled and taken to Grand Bay reserve, and the following day, with the arrival of J. G. Burk, to McDiarmid and by train to the lake - head. Mr. Laidlaw's wife arrived in Port Arthur this morntng, and will aceom- pr.ny the body when it is shipped to- morrow morning to Seaforth, Ont., for burial."

The ''gist of his chanties was that the Minister of National Defence had told 'the' good people of Victoria that if they wished coastal defences, the way to get them was to vote tor the Liberal party whish, bad active plans undd'er way, whereas the Tories while in office bad done nothing. He ob- jected to the use of 'public funds for national defence being held out as an inducement to electors to vote a par- ticular way, and he moved an amend- ment condemning any such tl}dng- Major Betts, of London, seconded the motion, and while he did not say much about the Victoria incidents he referred again to the Coronation con- tingent. Ile complained that these men were selected from a political standpoint, and complained that they were badly trained, badly organized and did not do credit to Canada. In one of his vigorous speeches; Hon. Ian Mackenzie ridiculed the sug- gestion uggestion that she . had played politics with the defence estimates in Victor- ia. He said also that the reference made to the Canadian Coronation con- tingent by Major' Betts were an insult to every returned man, in the contin- gent. He said the nomination of the personnel of ,the contingent was made, by returned men themselves. Hon. R. B. Bennett got into the ar- gument and stated -that in order to get a job in Victoria on the defence work a person bad to have a red tick- et from the Liberal headquarters. This was positively denied by the minister. The red ticket issued was no insignia for political membership, but a mili- tary pass to a job of a very -private nature, with employment weaned to ex -service men. The Prime Minister told the House that as far as the Government was concerned, they certainly desired to keep these questions out of politics, and the Hon. Mr. Stirling said,, he was entirely satisfied with. Mr. King's position and asked leave to withdraw his motion. After three hours of de- bate, Mr. King in a few moments had tourer) oil on the troubled waters, and the House settled down to real busi- ness. • The Minister of Transport's esti- mates were before the House and things moved along nicely all evening. Under the provisions of the British Agricultural Act of 1837 which aims at •enriching the soil in order to pro- mote greater production, the British Government has authority bo reim- burse the farmers for 50 per cent. of the cost of the lime and 25 per cent. or, basic slag fertilizers applied to their land. The Act affects Canada insofar as the better feed for live- .s"thck should increase the demand in the United Kingdom• for store cattle. Wife: "Oh, John!

A lot of amending bills were put through with: expedition which should meet the criticism of there being de- lay in passing legislation of one kind and another. The House then turned to the con- sideration of many bills, advancing them with little waste of time., 'late House as well as the country is await- ing with interest the budget. The question was asked when it would be brought down, but no 'definite date was announced.' The British budget is now the topic of conversation. The private bill in• which the Prov- ince of Ontario is contemplating in conjunction with New York State, the building of a new bridge, was talked out for the sixth time to -night. Hon. R. B. Bennett entergd the fight and her certainly subjected the proposal to a very critical examination. He re- ferred to attacks being made on the Ontario opposition members who are opposing this scheme by others out- side of this House. Referring of course, to Premier Hepburn, he said they did not intend to be over -awed or threatened by anyone no' matter how high his position. He asked why the hurry to jam it tlrroug'h there when Now York State Legislature defeated companion legislation a few months ago and d:overnor Lehman said he would never sign a bill while the vested rights of the International Railway Compahy. owners of the Falls View ])ridge, which collapsed in January, were' unprotected. He said the bill was drafted in such a way that the incorporators could indulge in a real estate development while `'.siting for permission from New York for their sanction of the bridge. He criticized the statements of the esti- mated cost of the bridge. New York e.t.imated a total of $3,000,000; On- tario first. was $7,000,000, then $4,040,- 000, while the old company guaran- tees to put a fonr•ihno bridge across the river for $1,4,)0,000. • lie said the, bill had been changed drastically' since it was introduced. First of all, the company was to be incorporated at $500,000, but this was changed to $500. Either the $500,000 was Intended as a steal or the $500 does not represent anything, Mr. Ben- nett was still talking at nine, o'clock and the bill was talked o$:8 for the sixth time. In the Railway Convmittee the ques- tion of aira'gamation of the railways ,-ate' u f'r discussion but was set aside a9 a Senate committee is mak- ing an investigation. In the Election and Franchise Com- mittee there was a lively discussion in reference to the bill regulating and controlling campaign funds. AU ildi- cations are that this bill will receive a rough passage.

Since 1930 the outlay on relief omelette to about .800 millions dollars with the Fedeilai Govertnment paying 300 million and the provinces and munioipalitiee paying the balance. The peak of the diepnessioa was reach- ed in 1933 in the month of March when the 'heads of 267,803 families were on relief. Last month this cum- ber was down to 178,000. Last year it, was 221,0110 and in March of 19$6 it was •251,000. In the Province of British Celumiztfa there is an improve- ment of 30 per cent, In the Maritime Provinces it is very good with New Brunswick receiving no relief at all: There is a 30 ,per cent. improvement in Manitoba, "Saskatcheeen is the hardest bit where the total on relief is 429,000.

L. - Ohurch denounced the whole relief proposals and instated as usual that the Federal Government should pay the shot. Hon. H. H. Stevens returned to the attack. The honourable gentleman.. seems to have a short memory; all can recall hpw be objected to this problem be- ing passed on to the Federal House, that is, of course, when his Govern- ment was in power; now .it is quite different. In his speech today he complained about the attendance, btrt be was reminded by the Minister of Justice that he thdmself was very sel- dom in the House- He suggested that the Federal Government pay twenty- five per cent. of the municipal taxes In order to ;induce people to build houses. •i Mr. Marsh (Cons., Hamilton) made a very good speech, but of course he too would have the Federal Govern - went pay the piper. That is the at- titude by practically all of the city representatives. The debate is continuing to -morrow. This . evening rather sad news was being circulated regarding the illness of Mrs. Herridge. ' Her coil ition is reportecVas serious. She is a sister of Right Hon. R. B. Bennett. * •s r Thursday, April 286h A sharp discussion took place to- day in reference to some of the per- petual bonds in connection with the railways which were taken over years ago. The bonds were old Grand Trunk issues and are mostly held in London, England. The discussion revolved around the high rate of interest paid and also the perpetual clause. The Minister of Finance who understands just how seriously the credit of Canada could be affected by an unconsidered opine ion on this question favored a friend- ly negotiation of the problem, but there are those who have no -respons- ibility in the matter would take dras- tic action- Mr. Dunning pointed out that lest there should be an impres- s;on go abroad, 1 must dissent from a suggestion of any intention on the part of the Government to do some- thing which would involve the break- ing of the pledged word of Canada. He pointed out that the average in- terest rate on Canadian National bonds was 4 per cent., but that does 'not lessen the necessity of any Gov- ernment to do everything it can hon- ourably do to reduce the interest bur- den. I again use the word honour- ably because if the Government is not. the seat of honour, where are we go- ing? The average interest rate on the National debt is less than VA per cent., and he said' I would like you to Took at the public debts of all countries and show me how many of them can show an average interest rate that low. This has been brought about only by playing the game with our creditors, and by friendly and reasonable negotiations. If Canada had adopted the course suggested by some, instead of our obligations be- ing lessened. they would have been' in- creased.

I believe only ono province, Prince Edward Island, 'had not guaranteed these bonds. The greater part of the day was spent in discussing the relief mea- sure. A few days ago. the Honourable H. H. Stevens made a speech on r this question in which he evidently desire - ed to make the country believe that .- he alone was .interested in the, prob- lem. To -day, Mr. Jean Francois Pouliot took time out to give a coma - piste list of everything Mr. Stevens had said and done in regard 1» lids problem from 1930 to the present time.
