Porcupine Telephone Lines Limited Land on Transcontinental Selected for Soldiers‘ Farms NWP CE EL 0P F T As sugcested in The Advance last week the Committee sent to the North Land to select suitable land for setâ€" tling Returned Soldiers upon were most impressed with the â€" soil and .: conditions about 70 miles west of Cochrane. When the Commuttee reâ€" turned to Toronto last week â€" their recommendation was that the Townâ€" ships of Owen and O‘Brien, 60 or 70 miles west of Cochrane on the Natâ€" ional Transcontinental â€" Railway, be set apart for Returned Soldiers and Sailors who wish to settle on the land. As noted in these columns last week the Committee visiting here to **spy out the land*‘ for the Returned Solâ€" diers, included :â€"â€"Mr. C. F. Bailey, Assistant Deputy Minister of Agriâ€" culture; Private Jack Munroe, one of the North Land‘s own old timers, and a hero of the famous Princess Pats, Major Kennedy,. of Dixie, a Returned Soldier, who is a farmer by profesâ€" sion; Capt. Thos. Magladery, MP.P.; Geo. W. Lee, T. N. 0; Commussionâ€" er: J. F. Whitson of the Colonization Roads Department; and 8. A. Jolinâ€" ston. B.S.A.. of the Ontario Governâ€" er:; +J ...

For the preâ€" sent they recommend first the \L‘Hlll“‘ aside of the Townshfps of Owen and O ‘Brien for the proposed settlements. Mr. Bailey, who hbhad charge of the Committee says that this traet, which has not been opened for settlement, is typical of the best land of the clay belt of Northern Ontario. It is near MePherson, which is the station for the Dominion Experimental Farm in that district, and also for the Kapusâ€" kasinge Internment Camp. (The land for six miles east and west of Meâ€" Pherson is all clay of the right type. It has a #wentle slope and is exceedingâ€" Iy desirable for agricultural dev elopâ€" ment, well watered by the Kapuskasâ€" ing River and numerous small lakes and streams. The townships are ezu'h about six miles square. â€" Practically all the land is covered by green bush, with the exeeption of a strip in O°â€" Brien â€" Township which has been on omm es se s cleared by the alien enemies interned. at Kapuskasing. This strip is 600 feet wide and six miles long, on cither side of the railway, stretehing from MePherson station to the bhounâ€" dary line of F.mqmer township, and continuiny west in the township of Owens for about three miles. Last week another Commuttee was formed under the Provincial (Governâ€" ment Act to earry out the provisions of the legislation.

The idea of Hon. (G.

THE FIRST ‘‘IRON MAN‘‘ TO BE FAMED IN BASEBALL In these days of simplified spelâ€" ling and perverted English, the slang term ‘‘Iron Man*""‘ has come into use in many eallings. . The embryo finâ€" ancier refers to his dollars as~ Ius "Iron Men,"‘ but the expression has found its greatest use in baseball, says a sporting writer in the Toronto Star. In these days pitchers who are able to twirl more than two games a week are referred to, as~ ‘‘lron Men‘‘ and the term is justly apâ€" plied. In this connection it may be l of some enlightment to receall â€" that Men‘‘ and the term is justly apâ€" plied. In this connection it may be of some enlightment to reeall that Joseph Mellroy Mann, ‘75, of Princeâ€" town, was the original ‘‘Iron Man," and that he first put the eurve ball into practical use in a baseball game. On October 23, 1874, the Philadelâ€" phia team visited Prineetown and Mr. Cummings, Arthur Cummings, of the Old Brooklyn Stars, later of the Muâ€" tuals, and finally of the Phillies, was their pitcher.

By the arrival of the following spring he had ecompleteâ€" ly mastered the art of pitching all three eurves. On May 28, 1875, Mann pitched for Princeton against Harâ€" vard and by his wide and effective curve, the first time it was ever used in any game, succeeded in striking out the first cight batters who faced him. The ninth batter got a hit. The Harvard players had no idea what was the trouble. About the fifth inâ€" ning one of the Crimson players who had been standing behind the eatcher reported to Captain Tying that the balils were curving away from the batsman and there was an immediate exodus on the part of the Harvard players to the backstop to witness this unheardâ€"of phenomenon. It was on the following day, May 20, 1875, that Mann really won his cognomen of ‘‘Tron Man‘‘ for then he went in against Yale, and with the use of lus {curves, pitched the first noâ€"hit and | noâ€"run game in the history of baseâ€" ball.
