ELECT NEW PRESIDEN!T OF ASSOCIATEQ BO0MMDS Interesting Mecting at New Liskeard. Fine Addresses. Tour of Farmâ€" / ing District. The quarterly meeting of the Board of Trade held in New Liskeard Thursâ€" day, Friday and Saturday of last week, was important, both as regards the meeting itself, and especially in regard to its associated events. Delegates gathered from all over the northern part of the district, toured the country in motor cars, giving them "ermaoriidt iAmnmrtnnity to see the Delegates gathered from all over the northern part of the district, toured the country in motor cars, giving them a splendid opportunity to see the farming operations. The delegates from the north had a special advanâ€" tage in that through the kindness of the Englehart Board of Trade they debarked there and after litnch as euests of the Englehart ‘Board of Trade, drove all through the country from Englehart west through Charlâ€" ton and then straight on to New Tasâ€" keard. The delegates came away ahâ€" solutely impressed with the fact that the District of Temiskaming will be @reat avcricuitural country, for> the great agriculitlurai €0 simple reason that it agricultural country. The E. X.

The:s were aHripe, many of them ready been reaped. The delega also enabled to see tbhrashing tions at one or two ol the farms, and the erops showed a splendid yield. In addition to the actual erops, the farm meéthods were well worth seeing. Many of these fields ‘especially the oats and wheat, were very large, and where a creop had been reaped, the farmers were already busy with tracâ€" tor and gang plough putting the land in shape for next year. In a season such as this, ‘the heavy vields on the farms from Englehart south, show what the District of Teâ€" miskaming can do. Near Charlton the northern delegates saw a field of a Wundred acres of splendid oats owned The delegates from the north are especially grateful td® M, R. irelanca, David Korman and Henry Weeks, of Englehart, for making possible their trip through that part of the country. In New Liskeard thanks to the courtesy of Wesley MeKnight, \Wm. Tavlor, and other members of the Board of Trade, the delegates saw among other tfll‘lllb, the splendid proâ€" pert\ of A. J. Kénnedy, where threésh ing was going on. The party stopped by Fred Pommell, which a year ago was qpractically ‘bush. Further on a splendidly cleared farm with big ecrops and an automobile parked in the drive shed, is the property of Mr. Kenny, who fifteen years ago packed lus beâ€" longings on his back from North Bay to begin clearing the land. â€" In this dxstrwt also is the hundred acre farm of Geo. Tough, which is cleared from end to end, and all machinery is run by electric power. can 0 northern delegat liundred acres of by Fred Pomme ing was going on. ihe party stopped also to lool\ at the celery gardens of Mr. Fee, son of the Presbyterian minâ€" ister there, who has acres of as fine celery as was ever ‘bleached, side by side with acres of splendidâ€" cwbbage. This showed the truck garden posâ€" sibilities, in addition to the grain and sthilities, in addition to the root erop facilities. To most of the delegates, T wo splendid speeches were deliverâ€" ed at the banquet, which was held Friday noon. W. C. Noxon, Agent {reneral of the Province of Ontario in London, England, and Mr. Cockshutt, M.P. for Brantfogd, were the speakâ€" ers. After a welceome by Mayor Tayâ€" lor and Chas. G, Mann, president of the New Liskeard Board of Trade, Mr. Noxon dealt with agriculture in Teâ€" miskaming and the splendid future it had before it. He pointed out first that pioneering work was difficult and pointed to the pioneers in Southern Ontario. In Oxford County, for insâ€" tance, a?t Embro, the pioneers‘ market was at Hamilton, sixty miles away, and all the supplies had to be brought that distance. It is a scientific fact that the furâ€" ther north you can ripen grain oOor fruit, the better it is.

Fire Chief Borland this week has been given time and attention to the arrangements for the observance of Fire Protection Week and has also been distributing literature and using other methods to arouse public interâ€" est: In this North Land fire prevenâ€" tion is of wvery special importance to all.

WEST OF TRE RIVER RBLOCKED FOR TWO MONTHS Neglect to Fix Approaches to New Bridge Makes Serious Interâ€" ference With Traffic. The attention of The Advance has been called to the hardship imposed! upon the public using the road upon the west side of the river. Earlier this year the Government put in a new bridge less than half a mile from the big bridge and the approaches to this new bridge were not finished, with the result that this section of the road can not be used by ordinary traffic. Traffic at this point has to make a deâ€" tour to get by the new dbridge. Autos and other vehicles have to go through the hbush a considerable distance out of their way to pass the bridge that may ibe all right as a bridge but in its present condition is useless as a part of a roadway. This condition has conâ€" tinued for a couple of months, it is said. Just why the approaches have been allowed to remain unpassable is one of the mysteries that too often have charaeterzed road work in the North Land. Without proper grading of the approaches the bridge is only an ageravating monument to the wsongcheadness of the Government‘s apparent eareless attitude to the needs of the growing North. In view of the revenue from this North Land, it would appear no more than fair that the Government that installed the new bridge should spend a few dollars more so that the bridge might be of use, even if it should be necessâ€" ary to cancel a couple of feet of the extra. concrete roadways ‘being built in the South. Finish the approaches so that the new dridge may be used : And do it now! Thank you! al POLICE COURT RECEIPTS JUST $70.00 AND COSTS Thursday last was an easy day in the police court here.

It is the intention of the Peninsular Mines at Niglht Hawk Lake to instal a two hundred ton mill at the properâ€" ty at an early date. The progress of work at the Peninsular Mines seems to fully warrant the installation of milling facilities. 1t is understood that there is around a million, and a half worth of ore blocked out and the further work is carried along the more promising is the outlook for unusually large bodies of .goodâ€"grade ore. A feature of the property is the uniform mineralization of the ore, the assays having a regular habit of runâ€" ning from $13.00 to $13.75 in gold to the ton. * At present work is being speeded up at the Peninsular, with increased staffs and extensions of operations. Recently a new lbunk house was comâ€" pleted and another bunk house is to be erected for the accommodation of the enlarged staffs. The new power house will provide additional facilities for the progress of development. work, and everyvthing seems set for the plaeâ€" ing of the Peninsular at a comparâ€" dtnelx early date among the producâ€" rs of note.
