A prospector coming down this week from Hudson says that both Hudson and Sioux Lookout are makâ€" ing special arrangements to look after any rush there may be to get into the Red Lake Camp after the breakâ€"up. It is expected that the water route into Red Lake will be available this week. Six new wharves have been built at Hudson to take care of the various transportation companies that are going to ply from that point. Half a dozen different concerns are now booking passengers and freight. The rate for passengers is set at $12 to Pine Ridge and $20 to Red Lake, a certain amount of baggage being allowed free of charge. _ Freight rates are‘quoted as running from $80 to $100 a ton. The Hudson Bay Co. is to have barges towed by a tug as far as Pine Ridge, with a portage to other boats on the other side. ‘The MceDougall Co. are to operate six flatâ€" bottomed boats with highâ€"power enâ€" gcines, Sioux Lookout is specializing in looking after prospectors and others wishing to go into the new camp. The town council has formed a Sioux Lookout Publicity Bureau under the management of A. id. Marr. Inforâ€" mation as to transportation, ice conâ€" ditions, outfitting and other matters will be given, free to application, and mail or telegraphic enquiries will be answered. While boat service will run from both Hudson and Sioux Lookout, the people of Sioux Lookout claim that their route is by far the best.. A large electric sign is being installed on the station grounds drawâ€" ing attention to Sioux Lookout as the ‘‘Gateway to the (Golden North.‘! Here in a nutshell is the case the Sioux,. Lookout people make out for their town and route:â€"‘‘In the first place, the accommodation is greatly superior to that at Hudson. Sioux Lookout is an established town with some 2.000 inhabitants, with hotels, laundries, barber shops, doctors and dentists as well as a railway Y.M.C. A. which is easily the finest in the North Country. The place has elecâ€" tric lights and all sanitary convenâ€" iences On the other hand, Hudson a few months ago was nothing but a flag station on the Canadian National, and while considerable building is unâ€" der way, sanitary conditions are little short of deplorable"‘ FRANK HODGES Secretary of the International Fedâ€" eration of Miners, who is engaged in lining up the unions in other countries to support the Britigh miners. He was a member of Ramâ€" say MacDonald‘s Cabinet. At Sioux Lookout the most imporâ€" tant transportation concern is the Orser Boat Line which has six 22â€"ft. unsinkable Sponson canoes equipped with 6 h.p. outboard motors. Five mile§# from Sioux Lookout there is a halfâ€"mile portage between Lake Peliâ€" can and Lac Seul, where a tram line has been built by the local Counctl with the coâ€"operation of the Doniinâ€" ion (Government and the C.N.R. Boats will be run on to a cradle car which will ‘he hauled over the line, equipped with 56â€"pound rails, by a 75 h.p. steam engine manned with double reâ€" versible drums and cable. The first boat was taken over this portage on Sunday, May 9th. Don‘t miss the concert in the New Empire Theatre on Thursday evening of next week, May 27th. The proâ€" gramme will be a most attractive one. The event is being put on by the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band to send a talentâ€" ed young violinist to Toronto for exâ€" pert tuition there this summer. Suggests Conference for Sports in This District Last week> Mr. A. R. Mobbs, of Iroquois Falls, made the suggestion that a conference be held at an early date to disceuss sports in the North Land. He thought that such a conâ€" ference could profitably be held at some central point in this part of the North, and that all sports, such as golf, softhball, baseball, football, tennis, hockey, curling, ete., could be represented. Four or five from each town could meet together and talk over things in general in the way of sport, and disceuss plans and proposals for the betterment of sports. By such a conference many present diffiâ€" culties could be smoothed away. A general coâ€"operation would be secured throughout the district in the matter of sports and all the towns and all the sports would ibenefit thereby. If the various centres would get together in this way The Advance believes it would be surprising the impetus that would be given to clean amateur sport and the number of ways in which various sports would be advantaged. The idea, as outlined by Mr. Mobbs, is to have four of five delegates each from Timmins, Iroquois Falls, Cochâ€" Believes it would Smooth Out Any Difficulties There May be, and Make for Effective Coâ€"operation Among the Towns of the North. Would be of Great V alue to Sport in General, and Would Help Friendly Spirit Among the Different Centres of the North. EXPECT TO HAVE ROAD TO ~ COCHRANE READY JULY 1. On account of the Temiskaming Firemen‘s Tournament being held this year at Cochrane on July lst, there is particular anxiety to have the highway to Cochrane completed by Dominion Day. _ Iroquois Falls and other sections have been lending asâ€" sistance to Cochrane in impressing upon the Government the desirability of having the uncompleted parts of the road between Porquis Juncetion and Cochrane finished by July I1st. There is reason to believe that the efforts are likely to prove successful. The Northland Post last week says :â€" ‘*The work on the uncompleted porâ€" tion of the road between Cochrane and Porquis Junetion is going to be rushed at top speed and assurances are pracâ€" tically given that on the lIst day of July the road will be opened for ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE TRAFPFIC PROBLEMS HERE Last week the main ibusiness street corners of the town were painted off on the pavement to assist in the betâ€" ter handling of the heavy traflic here. The public by keeping within the markings when crossing the street will not only assist in the observance of the safety rules but will salso proâ€" tect themselves Keep to the crossâ€" ings; use reasonable precautions; and you will thus assist in preserving your own safety and the nerves of the motorists. A traffic cop does duty each day at noon and each afternoon at 4 at the corner of Pine street and Fourth avenue, when school is coming out. The policeman at the corner directs the traffic with a view to the safety of the children and also sees that the children use reasonable precautions such as keeping to the crossings, as marked out, etc. The new plans for traffic control also include the employment of a traffic cop. As will be noted in the advertising columns of this issue of The Advance, applications are asked for a traffic policeman for Timmins, the qualifications being that he must be experienced at the work and able to run a motor eycle. Applications are to be received up to May 26th. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 20th, 1926 The carriage of perishable foodstuffis from this country to Great Britain is a most important function of this service. The "Cairnesk‘s" equipment embodies the most modern facilities for refrigeration, ventilaâ€" tion and carriage of perishable goods. he new freighter S.S. "Cairnesk," just launched at Sunderland, Engâ€" land, is one of the two new . sister vessels specially designed for the Cairnâ€"Thomson Line service between the Northâ€"East Coast of Great Britain and Canada. To Carry Canada‘s Products Abroad rane, South Poreupine and Schuâ€" macher meet together and take up in conference the various questions that affect sport in this part of the North and devise ways and means for all to work together for the betterment of sport in general. Everyone spoken to in regard to the matter believes that the idea is an excellent one and that much good would come from« such a conference. The Advance would sugâ€" vest that any interested in the matter take the trouble to drop a line to Mr. A. R. Mobbs, Iroquois Falls, giving their opinions, and that effort be made at an early date to carry out the idea of Mr. Mobbs for this helpful sort of a conference on sports. Do it now, toâ€"day, is a good motto! A resolution along the lines of Mr. Mobhbs‘ proposal was passed some weeks ago at a meeting of the Timâ€" mins Amateur Athletie Association, it being felt that a conference of the various sport in the district would reâ€" move any present difficulties and pave the way for increased interest and efâ€" fort in all kinds of sports in this disâ€" trict. DR. GODFEREY TO MAKE RED LAKE AND DISTRICT SAFPE TIMMINS FIREMEN‘S BALL FPRIDAY EVENING, MAY 21. ‘‘The event of the season,‘‘ is the heading cearried for some years past by the advertising for the annual ball of the Timmins Fire Brigade, and the success and enjoyment of thése annual dances each year has fully justified the heading. This year the Timmins Firemen‘s Ball is to be held in the Masonic Hall on Friday evenâ€" ing, May 21st, and it is expected that the event will be even more pleasing and successful than in years past. The present intention is to make it ‘‘the event of the season,‘‘ and no Reference has heen made on more than one occasion to the unsanitary conditions reported as obtaining at Hudson. Dr. Forbhes Godfrey, Minâ€" ister of Health, intends to remedy ths. He has announced the appointâ€" ment of a sanitation committee under Dr. W. J. Bell, of the Ontario Dept. of Health, to enforee health regulaâ€" tions at Hudson, one of the gateways to the Red Lake area. The assistance of all at Hudson and the people in general as well as the C.N.R., is askâ€" ed by Dr. Godfrey to make Hudson safe and sanitary. It is also hoped to keep illâ€"health and unsanitary conâ€" ditions away from the Red Lake camp as much as possible. Hon. Dr. Godâ€" frey advises all going into the new camp should take a supply of typhoid serum, which is supplied by the Goâ€" vernment. effort has been spared to this good end. _ Danceing will commence at 9 p.m. The best of musie will be proâ€" vided for the dancing. The fine line of refreshments for which the event is justly noted will be another regular feature. Tickets are now on sale and may be obtained from Chief Borland or any of the boys of the brigade. If you haven‘t secured your ticket, do so at once, and have a good time once more at this ‘‘event of the season."‘ A notice board has been placed at the side of the Strand Cigar Store for the purpose of posting up busiâ€" ness appertaining to the Cornish Oneâ€" andâ€"All Football Club. CALEOONIANS REAR AN PXPEGT DN THE PIPES Piper Philabaa Wins Much Applause Friday Night. Fine Programme and Good Time at Caledonians. The regular meeting of the Caleâ€" donian Society in the Hollln(rer Hall en Friday evening last proved a specâ€" ially attractive one much enjoyed by the good attendance for the evening. After the regular business of the meeting had been transacted, the president, Mr. W. D. Watt, introduced an unusually pleasing programme. It was the President‘s Night, the proâ€" gramme being in full charge of the President, and the evening was cerâ€" tainly a credit to the President and to those taking part, as well ‘as a rare enjoyment to all present. A special feature of the evening was the paper by Mrs, Patrick on ‘‘Allan Ramsay, the gifted Scottish Poet,"‘‘ Mrs. Patrick gave an intérâ€" esting and illuminating sketch of Allan Ramsay‘s life and work, inâ€" corporating in her paper a number of â€" attractive selections from the poems of Allan Ramsay. In reviewâ€" ing the life of the poet, Mrs. Patrick also threw very effective sidelights on Seottish life and character in the early days of the 18th century. Mrs. Patrick‘s paper was one of the most interesting and pleasing given before the Society, and that is high praise indeed, as the quality of the essays enjoyed by the Caledonian Society has been noteworthy. On motion of (G. A. Macdonald, the paper by Mrs. Patrick was added to the archives of the Society and a very hearty vote of thanks tendered her for the excellent paper on the life and work of Allan Ramsay. Dr. James Lyons Biggar of Toronto has been appointed chief adminisâ€" trative officer of the Red Cross in Canada, with the title of Chief Commissioner. At various timeg he practised medicine in Ontario, Eaâ€" monton, and Victoria, B.C., and was medical officer to the 88§th Regiment during the war. Dr. Biggar is a grandson of the late Sir Oliver Mowat. Another special feature of the evening was the playing of the pipes by Mr. Thos. Philabaa, a gifted piper recently arrived from Scotland where he was a piper with a famous Seotâ€" tish regiment. Mr. Philabaa played the highland scottische and other highland selections, as well as favourâ€" ing the gathering at the close with Home, Sweet Home and Auld Lang Syne. He proved a braw lad on the pipes and won unstinted applause. The duet by Miss Maisie Roberts and Mr. Geo, Hale, piano and violin, made a big hit and won very insistent encore, the responding number being another decided hit. Mr. Pyper‘s rendition of ‘*The Auld Sceots Sangs,""‘ touched all Seotâ€" tish hearts, the beauty of his fine tenor voice, the sympathetic interpreâ€" tation of the selection, and the appeal of the song itself, all combining perâ€" fectly to delight all present. _ Mr. Pyper was encored and his wellâ€"renâ€" dered number in response was also encored. By special request Mr. Pyâ€" per sang again later in the evening and delighted all with his singing and his selections. Another pleasing number on the programme was the solo by Mr. W. Shewan, who pleased all as usual by his effective rendition of an attracâ€" tive selection. During the evening there were a number of dances, Seottish dances predominating. Refreshments were served as usual. The whole evening was thoroughlyvy enjoved by all, and best yet." Another pleasure of the evening for the members of the Society was the welcoming to the camp of Mr. Donald K. MceMacDonald‘s wife and daughâ€" ter, just arrived from Seotland last week. Mr,. Philabaa and some other young men coming out on the same boat were also welcomed to Timmins and the Society. W H HEADS RED CROSS SOCIETY Try a Waunt Ad.
