"Settler’s Colony To Be Inspected,” Montreal Star. October 24, 1932. Page 2.
----
Laferte Will See Effects of Back-to-Land Movement
----
When Hon. Hector Leferte, K.C., Provincial Minister of Colonisation, Games and Fisheries make his trip of inspection around the newly established settlement of workless who have gone "back to the land," he will find a good proportion of them completely settled on their new farms with houses built furnished and with their families already resident with them.
The minister’s tour is scheduled to start from Quebec City on October 29 and is likely to take several days. But on Wednesday, two special trains carrying the wives and children of men who left Montreal four weeks ago will leave this city for the Abitibi and Temiskaming settlements where the families will be reunited.
In the detachment travelling by C.P.R. to Villa Marie in the Temiskaming country there are some 20 families, comprising altogether between 80 and 90 persons. They will leave from the Windsor station at 10:15 a. m.
The C.N.R. transporting another batch of families for the Abitibi country in a special train leaving the Bonaventure station at 8 pm on Wednesday.
These first families to rejoin the rather and sons who left Montreal a month ago are going to home which have been built co-cooperatively by the groups of settlers. Other homes are now in process of construction and some 50 more families are waiting in Montreal for word which will tell them that their new homes are completed and waiting for them.

“POLICE HAVE LONG AND HARD SEARCH,” Cobalt Daily Nugget. January 27, 1912. Page 1.
----
Rounded up Party at New Liskeard Yesterday
----
Driving across Lake Temiskaming with the temperature, somewhere about 40 below, Constables Jerry Lefebvre and Sam Newton had a trying experience last night in the pursuit of certain people whom they had reason to believe had crossed earlier in the day for Ville Marie. Arrived at their journey’s end the constables were chagrined to learn that the quartet had just left for New Liskeard. After a short wait in Ville Marie, the police telephoned ahead to New Liskeard and found but that their quarry had arrived there and so accordingly they started out again and drove to that town and succeeded in locating the wanted parties dispersed in two of the hotels. They were in bed when the police arrived but their slumbers were rudely broken ad Constable Lefevbre and Newton returned to Cobalt having in charge Pol Reneu, Mr. and Mrs. Picard, and Miss Annie Laribee who are all wanted on various charged.
