Use it every chance you get. ~ Last week the Cobalt public utiliâ€" ties commission decidedâ€" to build new ‘dam at Sesikininka Lake to reâ€" tain the town‘s water supply. ; The dam YWill be built of planking backed by earth and rocks. â€" The old dam gave way some days ago. It was a sand dam and children playing around it were blamed for the trouble. The youngsters are said to have dug a small hole in the bank and this eviâ€" denced‘itself until there was a reâ€" gular flood of water pouring from the dam, the level of the lake dropping four inches in twelve hours. ~Before the new dam could be constructed it was necessary to repair the, old one so as to hold the water. Accordingâ€" ly a gang of men were put to work and awbout 200 bags of sand were banked along the ‘break and backed with earth and stones and by loads of sand until the water was stopped. This helped out the situation temporâ€" arily, but, of eourse, more permanent ?nllbo. i e Comtmngl 111y ill be necessary ingly the new dam will} be put in at a very early The fire started on the Michipicoâ€" ten River from an unknown cause, and quite a large gang of men, includâ€" ing railway men, section gangs and others along the rightâ€"ofâ€"way fought the blaze. â€" As the fire was over an area a.lready burned, the damage was not great. > ; There have probably been a dozen small bush fires in the district this year, but that at Mile 154 was the only one to give serious trouble. At the present time, the bush, while green, is readily inflammable. DREN BLAMED FOR _ DESTRUCTION OF I The first bush fire of any proporâ€" tions in the Algoma district this year has been controlled by the forestry branch, near â€"Mile 154, on the A.C.R., after burning through a stretch of alâ€" ready burnedâ€"over land for a distance of ~albout three miles apnd a ha.lf a mile wide. FIRST BUSH FIRE OF THE SEASON IN ALGOMA DISTRICT w Kill your cxga.mtte before xt kills a good fellow ‘s job. y _ ‘‘Farther North, however, the situâ€" ation is a different ne. In that part of the provinee the new trunk highâ€" way was to mean emancipation for the motorist confined to a comparaâ€" tively small system of highways. The highway was to apen for him all the roads of the province and he ‘would not be under the necessity of ‘shipping his car, by freight, as far as North Bay. It may be argued that the Northern motorist, after the inâ€" comvenienges he has‘ put up with in .the past, will be glad to pay five dolâ€" lars for the added advantages which the road will give him, but if he has to pay that five dollars, considerable of the value of the gift which the proâ€" ‘vince is giving will be taken away. . ‘‘If the government feels that it must have some contribution towards the upkeep of the road and protection of the forest through which ‘the road passes, nominal fee, possibly one dollar a car, should suffice. But The Nugget believes that this highway, like those in the south, should e a free gift to Northern Ontario, one that has been made with no strings attached to it. A charge for those using the facilities provided in the tourist camps that are being estabâ€" lished at every fifteen miles along the road is a fair one. That is where the big charge, in fairness, should be made, and not on the motorist ho uses the highway only for an â€"«Hhour‘s drive in the evening.‘‘. _ *‘The Department of Works and Highways, under which provineial roads in the south are governed, lmig”‘ ago abolished the toll gate system. Is the Dapartment of Lands and Forests, under which the highways of Northâ€" ern Ontario come, to revive what, sevâ€" eral years ago, was admitted to ‘he an: obsolete austom? Under the old toll gate system from ten to twentyâ€"five cents was the regular charge. Under the proposed provineial plan the toll will be five dollars for every fiveâ€" passenger carload of people going up the road. It is true that in the case of Northern motorists the permit will be good for a season, but in the case of tourists coming here for only two weeks in the year, the difference beâ€" tween the charge under the old and: new toll plan is wide. | «*Another aspect of the proposed, permit plan for people using the new: trunk highway that should not be left of the consideration of the Deâ€" partment of Nonthern Development is that of : automobile owniers in the. North. . Their position, if a charge of one dollar per efiita is put into effect, will be. worse than that of motorists in North Bay. North Bay is fortunâ€" ate compared to these motor car owâ€" ners, for drivers here, if they want to go any place, do not need â€"to use the new trunkâ€"highway.. They can get roads west of the city, to Sudbury, Sault St8. Marie, and the United States. When resurfacing work is completed on the Callender road they will be able to take an evening drive along the road and, should they want to go to Toronto, they are under no necessity of using road on which the government has placed a charge. In short, North Bay motorists can escape the proposed tariff entirely without suffering any great inconveniâ€" ence, although they would be deprivâ€" ed of the use of a ‘beautiful scenic route,. i While the shaft is not being sunk on the vein, but about 50 feetâ€"to the north, one other small vein was enâ€" countered in the sinking last week. while narrow . .seemed â€"to. have unusually heavily mineralized ore.: It is expected to cut the first station at the 125â€"ft. level this week. If«the ore stands up at the 125â€"ft. level, they will go down to the nmext 125â€"ft. and cut another station. If ‘the second 125â€"ft. also stands‘up well, the intention is to proceed then with. ‘the sinking of the shaft to the 500 ft. It is also intended in the "latter event to enlange the shaft to a threeâ€"comâ€" partment onre. The shaft now is a ‘goodâ€"size one, being 7 by 13. The compressor and hoist are both good for a 500â€"ft. shaft. The further proâ€" gress of work at the‘ Furness Mines will be watched with much interest. the auspices of the Gold Nugget. Reâ€" bekah Lodge, Timmins, is announeed to be held on Thursday of next week, June 23rd, commencing at 8.30 p.m. The auspices under which the event is being held is full assurance that the evening will be a delightful one, all Rebekah events being up to the highest standards in every way.
