Eighty. men, prominent in muni-I lipal life in the County of Simcoe, conferred with the Advisory Commit- tee of the Department of Highways, which met in the council, chambers at the Court House, Tuesday. The "committee, which was recently ap- Eointed to gather information at first and in all parts of Ontario, so that a uniform system of Provincial roads may be established, is composed of Hon. F. G. MacDairmid, M.L.A. for West Elgin, chairman: Thos_. Ma- honey, M.L.A. . for South Wentworth; A. M. Rankin, M.L.A. for Frontenac S. L. Squires, Deputy Minister of Highways ; and R. C. Muir.

The game was won in the tenth innings, Cookstown overcoming a two-run lead to tieithe score in the ninth. - Theascore was 7 to 6. Ivy led by 3 to 0 in the fourth innings and by 6 to 4 in -the eighth, but the home team seemed to im- nrove as the game progressed. `The loss of the game practically puts Ivy out of the running. and the remain- ing games of the schedule should see a merry race -between` Barrie, Cooks- town and Alliston. . a vv u nu uonaovvvaao `goth. Foran and .Iennett, the on-! nosing twirlers, pitched nice ball. The former was hit freely in the early innings, but he gained strength as the game went` on and in the nal frame struck the side out. Jennett was not hit as often as Foran, but his support crumpled in the pinches. The veteran. Bill Banting relieved Jennett in the ninth with the bases full and no one out and, although he did not allow a hit, two runs camein, tying the score. u.__-s___n 1-.1-_.__, __'_--_ 1_s_ ____- _.-___, ruaucr, nuuy xuuuauu.

AVJ.ul.L'lllBUllo The party. started from Mr. Mur- chison s private wharf near Big Bay Point a short time after three o - clock Thursday afternoon. They had had a late luncheon and at that time it was too soon after the meal to go in swimming. Edgar Smith suggested. Let's go for a short sail and then have. our swim afterwards. The suggestion met with approval and the three started across the mouth of the bay in the nineteen- foot Sponson model canoe Nita. Mr. Murchison was on the beach and watched them until` they were almost to thesother side. He states den- itely that although the water was rather rough the waves were not then high enough to beedangerous. After sitting on the beach for some time. Mr. Murchison became chilly and [went to the back of the "cottage to saw some wood, and so he himself did not see them land on the north `shore. However,. Vera Charles of New York, a guest at the Murchison cottage. sawthem reach a small point near Mr. Hamilton's cottage at the mouth of the bay. .Margaret has . 17. 18. 19. 420. 10. 11. 120 13` 14. 15. paaaeu. The search for the bodies of the unfortunate men, under the direction of C. M. G.

As every care is being exercised to allay the nervous condition in which she now is, and as the nervous state would [probably be aggravated by recalling the experiences through which she has | passed, it is probable that she will not be allowedito talk about them for some days. However, The Ex- aminer was able to get an authentic account of everything that is den- itely known from Mr. Murchison. n-__ _____;__ .r_ 4 1 N. S_!MCOE HIGH sc_H.o_9L 01 are late Mr. and Mrs. G. G.

When her brother-in-law became uncon- scious she remained cool enough to practise articial respiration. Her efforts ending in failure, she used the sweater which he had worn to pro- tect herself from the cold. It is gen- erally agreed that the sweater and the fact that she remembered at all times to keep her mouth closed in order to exclude the water preserved her life.

During the time she was aoat, the prevailing winds were westerly, al- though they shifted slightly .from day to day, so that the canoe must have followed a zig-zag course, cov- ering a distance _of about fty miles.

From time to time Margaret is able to recall details of this terrible time` in which it must have seemed to her that eternities loitered by.

He states that he noticed the sail one moment, then turned away for an instant and when he looked again it wasgone. For a time it was gen- erally accepted that it was at this_ time that the canoe capsized. How- ever, Mr. Murchison believes that it did not capsize at any time. He thinks it probable `that what Mr. Crawford took for the disappearance of the craft was only the lowering of the sail, which could easily be taken down. Edgar Smith was a competent person to be in charge of the canoe and he would do every- thing in his power to add to its safe- ty. With the sail down, the only-in- strument of propulsion was one pad- dle, with which Mr. Smith had been steering, and probably little progress could be made against the mounting seas. At any rate, the craft and its occupants completely . disappeared, leaving-not a trace until Margaret -Murchison was found in the- rice marsh at Concord Point, Monday morning. _ '.;+f1n n`-urns` 6-Ln Luis. .......A-.. LL- visit. - The four renresentatives of the county in the Provincial Parliament, Wm. Finlayson, K.C., C. E. Wright, J. E. Jamieson and W. E. Rowe were the first speakgrs at this session. Mileage Far Too Great Mr. Finlayson, who was prominent in the discussion throughout the day, was the first to bring up the question of reducing the county road mileage. The member for East Simcoe had gone to some trouble to prepare a set of maps on which he had marked the changes advocated. These show- 'ed that, in- his opinion, only four roads, 'with an aggregate length of - 120 miles,. are actually required. whereas the totzl mileage of county roads in 'Simco is now 450 miles. Mr. Finlayson"s contention was that it is better to keep four main feed`- ers to the Provincial Highway in good condition than\ to scatter the money available over` a larger num- ber of roads, with the result that the -whole system suffers.

The canoe did not leave the shore for the return trip until about six o'clock, as it was hoped that by that time the wind would have drop- ped. As a matter of fact, the wind did drop, but all the while the waves had been mounting higher and high- er. It was Mr. Murchison s first thought that the party attempted to get home :by first goingto Shanty Bay, from where it would have been an easy run before the wind back to Big Bay Point.

She recalls that Hoskin was swept out first. Every effort was made to help him, but after lclinging to the canoe for some time he nally sank. Mr. Smith died in the canoe from exposure and ex- haustion, probably caused by his ef- forts to save his friend.
