Porter There is a meeting of the Board of Trade called for Monday evening, July 14th, at 8 p.m. in the Council Chamiber. ‘There will be several imâ€" portant questions up for discussion, one of the chief ones being the matâ€" ter of the Government Road to South Poreupine. There is a general feelâ€" ing that this road should ‘be rushed to completion at once. In fact, the general opinion is that it should have been completed before this. It is hoped on Monday evening to find a method to hurry on the early comâ€" pletion of the road. One plan sugâ€" gested by Mr. T. F. King, President _of the Board of Trade, is that mer. chants and others here institute a boyeott of Toronto businesses until the North Land receives a square deal in the matter of roads. It is figured on the one hand that business here is valuable enough that Toronto will not want to let it go, and on the other hand it is considered that Toronto has been thinking only of what can ibe taken out of this country and that it Toronto showed the right support to this counry no Government could reâ€" sist the combined pressure. In brief, the theory is that if Toronto wants the North‘s money then Toronto must show the right spirit to this land, or see business going hereafter to Monâ€" treal and Winnipeg. There may be question of the‘ workability of a boyâ€" cott of the sort suggested, though many openly favour it, but in any event the matter of the roadway to South Poreupine is of vital importâ€" ance to this Camip, and there should be a very large attendance at the Board of Trade meeting to see what ecan be done. The roadway has been torn up long enough. Action is needâ€" ed to have it completed at the earliest possible moment. On Monday Evening, July 14th. Motorists Should be Particularly Interested in Discussion of Roads.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9TH, 1924 The late Chas. T. Gray was born in Newecastleâ€"onâ€"Tyne, England, where his parents and sisters still reside at 50 Park Road. He was of Scottish parentage and on coming to Timmins he joined the ‘Caledonian . Society where he was popular and highly esâ€" teemed. He was also a member of the Timmins Male Chorus and of St. Matthew‘s Church Choir, and all who knew him held him in the highest reâ€" gard. At the time of death he was 26 years of age. He came to Canada last August, taking up residence in Timmins the end of last year. He was a valued member of the Hollinger Mines mechanical staff. He lived on Pine street, ‘Moneta, with some friends there. CANADIAN GOWBOYs aAT THE WHEMBLEY Pete Vandémeer, a Canadian comboy champion, trving to saddle horse during one of the competitions.

Montâ€" gomery after investigation decided that a jury inquest was not necessary, the sad death lbeing due altogether to accident. as he was wearing it when the acâ€" cident occurred. There were many on the banks at the time the accident cccurred but they were not able to render _ more assxstance thau was civen. From the time of the overâ€" turning of the canoe there was no sign of Mr. Gray until the body was recovered from the lake on Monday just before dusk. Sunday evening and all day Monday search was made to recover the ,body, a number of friends assistin@ in the work of dras The overturning of a_ canoe on Miller Lake on Sunday afternoon reâ€" sulted in the sad death of Chas. T. Gray. Another oceupant of the canoe Mr. P. M. Dolan, had a narrow esâ€" cape from drowning. MHe is unable to swim, but when thrown into the water he succeeded in getting a grip on the canoe and held on until help reached him. It is not known just exactly how the accident oceurred. Mr. Gray, together with his chum, Mr. Stewart Atkinson, and another friend, Mr. P. ‘M. Dolan, had had Ainner #together and iproceeded to Miller Lake to enjoy a canoe ride. Mr. Gray was sitting in the middle of the canoe and had ‘been dipping his handkerchief in the water, when sudâ€" denly the canoe overturned. It is thought that leaning over to wet the handkerchief he overbalanced the canoe. Before anyone realized what had happened the three young men were in the water. Messrs. Atkinson and Gray were good swimmers, but Mr. Dolan can not swim at all. Mr. Atkinson at once struck out for the shore making the swim in safety. Mr. Dolan was able to grasp the canoe and hang on grimly until two. men went to his resecue and assisted. him to shore. It was thought that Mr. Gray would have no difficulty in reaching safety as he was an excelâ€" lent swimmer. Apparently, however, his clothing must have caught in the inner part of the canoe holding him down until he drowned, or else he was suddenly attacked with swimmer‘s eramp. In support of the formen theory his coat was recovered from the water some time before the body was found, suggesting that the coat had been torn from him in the water Chas. T.

Thursday evening at about 10:30 word was brought to the poli('e that a woman had been seen going on the ‘brxdge at the river, then a loud splash had been heard, and the woman had disappeared. ‘Later, a woman‘s new hat was found on the bridge. Deputy Chief Salley made prompt investigaâ€" tion and gathered much information that pointed to ‘be probability of a tragedy at the river. On account of the darkness efforts to locate the body had to be deferred until mornâ€" ing. ‘The hat was the only clew as to the identity of the woman who had apparently committed suicide.

Topalli said that his meals had not been served to him in the living room as usual and that he had been told to keep out of the downâ€" stairs. He was given his supper upâ€" stairs, the outside entrance only beâ€" ing used. WThursday evering the matâ€" ter began to get on his nerves and he consulted his friend, Jim Romanuick.
