Special to The Advance. There were many reports around town this week in regard to an acciâ€" dent out at the Rea Hill on Monday evening. Coming round a curve the car went over into the ditch plowing there forâ€"some distance on its sife after apparently turning almost over after its drop of about five feet off the road. In the car at the time, in addition to the driver were two men, two women, a young girl and a sevenâ€" monthsâ€"old baby. This week most of the reports had one killed; some had two dead; while other had them all bady injured. Authentic informaâ€" tion this morning is to the effect that no one was seriously hurt, though the escape was a miraculous one. â€" Messrs 4. M. Nicolson and A. Roberts came along a few minutes after the acciâ€" dent and assisted the party into town. At that time it was feared that the baby was dead. The two men in the party escaped injury, but the women were hurt and the baby also seemed at first to be in a serious condition. The women and baby were taken to the Sisters of Providence Hospital.

' NOTHING OF INTEREST AT POLICE COURT THIS WEEK. It is expected that the new subway will take two and a half months to complete. The Town will have to pay for the pavement to connect up, and also for the sidewalk. The T. N. 0. pays all the rest of the cost of the work,., The new subway is one of the many good things for which the Town is indebted to Dr. Melnnis and the old council who worked for years to secure the new subway. The T. N. 0. Commission last year promâ€" ised that the work would surely be done this year, and the promise is now being fully redeemed. Work is in active progress now on the building of the subway at the T. N. 0. tracks on Fourth avenue. The highway from South Poreupine has been detoured wlule the subway is under way.. The detour is just at the other side of the subway and passes about parallel with the subâ€" way on to Tamarack street to connect up with the town.

Mr. Nicolson brought the injured women and baby first to the police station where their injuries were noted and then they were taken to the hospital. Chief C. Melnnis, of South Poreupine, was on the scene of_ the accident in a very short time after its occurenee, but the driver of the car could not be located for a considerable time. However, there is no charge that can be laid against him as the occupants of the car do not aceuse him of either being intoxicatâ€" ed or of reckless driving. They say that the car, which was a heavy one, just seemed to swerve off into the ditch at the narrow curve at the spot where the accident occurred. The injured people are all making good progress to recovery at the time of writing.

It is no exaggeration, Mr. Editor, to say that the conditions as existing at present, are a standing disgrace to the present Town Council, and more so to the Police Department. who should be responsible for adâ€" ministering the law. Onâ€" several occeasions recently . 1 complained to the Police Department regarding speeders in this district, but was told that very little could he done to remedy the state of affairs until such time as a **Speed Cop" was engaged. I believe that this ‘‘Speed Cop‘‘ (what a misnomer!) is now on the payroll, but not having actually seen him, nor having seen in The Advance any of the results of his activities, I am wondering what has become of him, or is he only a myth? I made enquiry a few days ago from a constant user of the road, (and man who â€"never drives less than 30 miles an hour) and he politeâ€" Iy informed me that no motorist beâ€" tween here and North Bay need be afraid of being ‘‘pinched‘‘ hy a man who is frightened of the machine he is supposed to be competent to ride, and which a benevolent town counâ€" cil purchased to stand in the garage 50% of the time it should be patrolâ€" ling the roads. The road between the Hollinger Oflice and Schumacher, and between the Hollinger Office and Town,. is an outstanding example of a free speedâ€" , The Editor, The following letter, which cerâ€" tainly speaks for itself, was received by The Advance this week from a responsible and thoughtful citizen of the townâ€"one of those quiet, lawâ€" abiding and sturdy ecitizens who usuâ€" ally take a lot to stir them up, but, once stirred, make the fur fily.

A. Dr‘oiuri. _ In view of the recent placer discoveries near Timmins. the information he gave us in an interâ€" view yesterday should be of general interest. Dr. GHallorette has had claims in Carscallen since 1912 and has always insisted that that part of Poreupine is a placer country. He started a month ago to open a road from the Hurst and Beanland Camps to Hoof Lakeâ€"3 miles west of where his placer claims are located. Hoof Lake is on the fourâ€"mile post of the base line of Carscallen and Denton townships and the claims of Dr. tfaillorette consist of sand quartz graâ€" vel ridges from 30 to 50 feet high. The result of assays up to the preâ€" sent has been very encouraging the assays showing gold and silver values of $0.20, $0.50, $1.00, $5.00 and $4.00 per ton of sand and gravel. _ One hundred pounds of such sand and gravel was treated on a Laboratory Concentrator and the concentrate wlhen assayed showed a value of $99, per ton.

In view of the recent GAVS THAT CARSCALLEN TOWNSHIP HAS PLACER TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 15th, 1926 Timmins, Ont., July 13th, 1926 e iOWI and soon, very soon, tsere is nothing more certain that either between Timmins and Sechumacher or between Schumacher and Dome, someâ€" one is going to be killed by some crazy or drunken driver, who should be in a lunatic agylum rather than steering an automobile. If the Town Council instead of tryâ€" ing to form *‘‘Political Rings‘‘ and passing foolish resolutions would get down to **Brass Tacks‘‘ and see to it that, the traffic laws areâ€"enforced they would at least be doing one good thing which would count at the end of their stewardship, but unless someâ€" thing is done quickly it is hard to tell what terrible aceident is going to take place, and I for one, will help to put out those whom I helped to put in because T thought it for the best. Exeuse my taking up. your valuable time, Mr. Ediftor, but perhaps more anon. » way, for the use of all and sundry, who care to try how fast they can go, and on this road the ordinary pedesâ€" trian has no rights at all. â€" Powerful cars and heavy transfer trucks runâ€" ning at high speed are tearing up what must have cost about $10.000 per milé, making the ordinary civiâ€" lian scoot off the road for his or her life, and without the slightest regard for anything or anybody : speed is the thing, first, second and last, speed. Neither the road, nor the patience of pedestrians can stand up to it, andtit is about time now to call a HALT! I could without the slightest doubt and without the aid of a motor take ten people per day for ten days who are either intoxicated whilst driving a car, or who are flagrantly exceeding the speed limit to the danâ€" ger of the public. I venture to asâ€" sert, Mr. Editor, that 75%of the motorists using the roads around here have neither any moral, nor technical right, not should they be allowed to sit behind the wheel of an automoâ€" bile and steering a mad career in a search â€"for speed records. In conclusion, may I say that 1 have personally witnessed several very narrow escapes that people have had from being killed within a mile of the town and soon, very soon, The fire brigade and motor truck were on the scene in very prompt reâ€" sponse to the alarm, but the fire was ]ust nicely started going as they arâ€" rived. The use of the chemlo 1 soon put the blaze completely out of comâ€" mission. It had been held more or less in check by the use of a varden hose by people in the house. â€" About $25.00 danmoe was done by the fire. Fire Chief Bmland reported the matâ€" ter to the police so that attempt may be made to apprehend the person or persons responsible for the setting of this fire. An alarm of fire on Tuesday mornâ€" ing about ten minutes to ten resulted in the discovery of a startling conâ€" dition of affairs, where apparently deâ€" termined attempt was made to set fire to a Fourth avenue residence. The reâ€" sidence was occupied by Mrs. Purkie, and the lady told Fire Chief Borland that this was the third attempt that morning to set fire to the house. ‘The other two small fires had been disâ€" covered by her and she had been able to extmomsh them without calling in the brigade This third ‘fire had a good start before it was discovered, and it was thought best to send in an alarm. ‘This fire, Mrs. Purkie said, appeared to have been deliberately set from outside. =~The scereen in one of the windows had been cut with q knife, and the fire started on the floor near the curtains,. The blaze had run up the curtains to the wall, and was in a nice way to starting a very serious fire when discovered. The cut window screen and other evidence upâ€" held this theory of the origin of the fire. Mrs. Purkie did not know of any enemies she had nor was there anyone whom she suspected of the crime. â€" However, the evidence all sugâ€" gested that someoneâ€"either an enemy or an insane personâ€"made repeated attempts to destroy the house by fire. The house is No. 70 Fourth and is owned by Mr. Kelli K occupred by Mrs. Purkie. FIRE APPARENTLY 5E( BY ENEMY OR MANIAC Window Screen Cut and Fire Set at Fourth Avenue Residence on Tuesday.

While in the city he attended a banâ€" quet tendered the touring English F. A. team at the Carlsâ€"Rite Hotel. At that banquet, Timmins was the one and only centre visited by the English team that was singled out for speâ€" cial mention. Mr. ~S.. Davidson, secretary of the Dominion Football Association made special mention of the Town of Timmins. ‘‘You may think if is only a bush town,"‘‘ he said, ‘‘but you‘ll find instead that it is a live, progressive modern little city, fully equipped and upâ€"toâ€"date."‘ He also spoke in high terms of the T:immins Football team, and remindâ€" ed the city football teams that Timâ€" mins would have to be reckoned with in football. There was one little matter, however, with which Seereâ€" tary Davidson found fault. **They have everything in Timmins,"‘‘ he said, ‘‘but good football grounds."‘ He mentioned that the grounds were rough, but expected that with the usâ€" ual enterprise of Timmins this would be remedied, The Salvation Army formally openâ€" ed its outpost at Schumacher on Saturday last.

Petcoff, a taxi driver was fined $50.00 and costs for reckless driving. He took the corners at a high. rate of speed the police said. The heavy fine should be a warning to other drivers. Tisdale police intend to stop speedâ€" ing and generally to see that the law is enforced.

This rock cut will allow the street to be continued through to the Hollinger townsite. â€"About 800 yards of" rock will have to be taken out. The road through the rock cut will be 30 feet wide and graded similar to Shankâ€" man‘s Hill. The proposal for taking out the rock has heen before Council for several years and on more than one occeasion previously it looked as if work would be started. However, unâ€" til this year, it was felt that while the work would be of advantage. it was not absolutely imperative and in view of the many other calls upon the Town it could be deferred.
