Taylor, formerly of Timmins and Schumacher, who was lost in the bush north of the Pas, Manitoba, on June 29th. Anâ€" other note left by Mr. Taylor for the guidance of those searching for him has been found, and the efforts to find further trace of the missing man have been redoubled. There is a possibility, by the date on this latest note, that Mr. Taylor has found a tra ‘s shack and has been able to survive the ordealâ€"of being lost for over a month in the unfriendly woods. Played Their Best Game of the Season Monday Night but Lost to the Arrows Those who took the trouble to turn out for the softball game on Monday night were not disappointed as the Power team played their best game of the season and though they lost out they gave the Arrows a nice run for their money. ‘The Power team comâ€" menced to seore in the third innings and from then on they outscored the Arrows who, realizing that the game did not make any difference to them did not use their star hurler, H.

South Porcupine, Aug. 8th, 1928. Special to The Advance. The basket picnic held at South Poreupine athletie grounds toâ€"day (Wednesday) under the auspices of the combined lodges of Timmins and South Poreupine Oddfellows passed off very pleasantly, in spite of the threatening clouds in the morning. As a matter of fact, ideal weather prevailed, and the sports were most successful. All attending enjoyed the outing and the splendid : programme arranged, and it is likely that any further picnics at the same grounds will meet with even greater success. It has been usual for the Oddfellows‘ picnic to be held each year at Golden City, and the latter place is certainly a favourite. This year, however, the Oddfellows were unable to secure the at Golden City, as the hay was not yet cut on the land to be used. The South Poreupine athletic zround was accordingly secured for this year‘s picnic and especially for the races and sports proved very suitâ€" able. f 6 The first race, one for girls under 6 years, was rewarded by each getting a hooter, and then the noise began. When the boys under 6 years also got their hooters the attendance at the picnic seemed to have increased many fold, to judge from the noise..

F “"""‘ , Clarence k Morgan, During the past week or so there have been several motor car accidents in the town and immediate distriet. Fortunately, none of them resulted in any serious injury to anyone, and in none of the cases was any heavy damage done. In one or two cases there were narrow eseapes from serious injury to persons and cars, but fortune was favourable. While there was good luck in the cases reâ€" ferred to, the moral is quite plain, that special carefulness and thought for the safety of others should be exâ€" ereised all the time to avoid injury to persons or damage to To assist in assuring that there shall be general observance of the moral referred to, the police are giving special attention to enforeing the sections of the law that guarantee the safety of the public. - The following personal notes were also sent in with the above account of the picnic by The Advance‘s South Porcupine correspondent :â€" Cw SEVERAL MOTOR ACCIDENTS IN THE DISTRICT RECENTLY. During the day the Poreupine Goldâ€" fields band were very liberal with their music which added much to the enjoyment of the picnic.

In the softball match, South Porâ€" cupine won over Timmins with a score of 8 to 3. The battery for Timâ€" mins was Coady and Wills, while for South Poreupine it was C.* Cattarello and T. Sampson. _ Mr. Bill Brooks was on first base for South Porecupine. He covered the base well, but the ball had a tendency to knock him over. Mr. R. MeWilliams made a homeâ€"run right off the ‘bat when the game started, which was protested by the other side, we are told, on the ground that they did not know he was going to keep on running. _ Anyway, the softball game created lots of goodâ€" humoured fun for all. The 1.0.0.F. tent on the grounds was well patronized, and the free tea and coffee much appreciated and enâ€" joyed. Messrs R. MeWilliams and H. Costain gave out (the prizes while Messrs Hugh MceHugh, H. M. Wilson, Trofford and Blouo"h managed the sports. e s t Mrs. Martin, of the Dome Extenâ€" sion, has returned from a visit to England.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9TH, 1928 It is understood that efforts are being made to have Mr. Ramsay Macâ€" donald, former Labour Premier of Great Britain, pay a visit to Iroquois Falls and deliver an address there on Labour Day. The itinerary of Hon. Mr. Macdonald, as given in the daily newspapers this week, provides for his party being at Jasper Park from Sept. Ist to Sept. 3rd. It may be possible for the Iroquois Falls people to have this itinerary changed so as to allow Hon. Mr. Macdonald to be at the Falls for the Labour Day event. It would certainly be a big drawing card to all in the district, The exâ€" premier would attract large crowds from all parts of this immediate disâ€" triet in gase he was prevailed upon to visit Iroquos Falls or any other town in this part of the North Land. Ramsay Macdonald and his three daughters are at present on a tour of Canada, . theirs trip taking them through to Vancouver and return. The steady run of the mill in good ore is especially encouraging and it may be noted thait there is now suffiâ€" cient good ore blocked out to keep the mill running steadily for a full twelve months, even though no further work were done in development But work is proceeding steadily and with good success in development of new ore. â€" It is the intention ito proceed with the work of running a winze to ithe 600â€" ft. level and other underground work is also under way. The March (iold Mines own diamond drill has proven No. 5 vein at 5% feet in width with average value of $9.60 in gold per ton. The new shaft is down to the 425â€"ft. level, with work also in progress at 460 feet. The March (Gold Mines property appears to be conducted in very workmanlike way throughonut. _ The buildings, as well as the plant, appear to be good, and carefully looked after with a view to service. A new dining hall is now in course of erection, some new features being embodied in the equipment. _ One of the new ideas is a number of smaller tables instead to two or three long tables. These smaller tables will accommodate eight to twelve men each, and they have reâ€" volving centres that assure easy acâ€" cess to the general food on the tavles. These revolving centres will do away with the necessity for requests to ‘‘pass the sweetness,""‘ or ‘‘let me get a little pep,"" or ‘‘pass the cow this way."‘ The kitchen in this new dinâ€" ing buldingâ€"will also be noteworthy for its upsitoâ€"date equipment. â€" Finshâ€" ed with rockâ€"board the new buildings will lend themselves to the maintenâ€" ance of cleankiness and comfort, and freedom from the danger of fire. BOAT TO LEAVE AT 10 A.M. FOR CORNISH CLUB PICNIC As announced in last week‘s issue of The Advance, the annual Cornish Social Club picnic will be held on ‘Sunday, Aug. 12th. The boat will leave at 10 a.m. prompt, so all memâ€" bers are asked to ‘be on hand in good time. All are reminded of the fact that a nominal charge per head is made, and the members must take their own refreshments.

The mill is running at 150 â€"tons per day, this production being steadily mamt(uno(l in ore of good grade. The mine has a good equipment ; and is makâ€" ing the most of it. Under the present manager Mr. Balawin, it is undouhiâ€" edly one of the best conducted of the smaller properties in the district. Although the foree of men employed is not larfl'o, efficiency seems to be the watchword in every department. in Mr. Robins, superintendent of the null and refinery, the property has a capâ€" able and experienceed bead for these do>partmeats, whiie @+apt. Larke, in ckarge of tho anderground workings, is equally well known for efficiency and skill. At present it would appear that the March is on the march forâ€" ward. TRYING TO HAVE RAMSAY MACDONALD VISIT FPALLS. The annual Poreupine Fair will be held this year at Golden City on Wedâ€" nesday, Sept. 12th, and promises to be the very best yet. The prize list wili soon be issued and will show good prizes in all sections, with an unusuâ€" ally big list of prizes in the poultry department. The specials this year are also noteworthy for their number and value. The novelties and specialâ€" ties and general amusement features have been exceeptionally well loo after, and ‘the fair generally to be a noteworthy one. / MARGH GOLO MINES NOWâ€" MAKING STEADY PROGRESG â€"â€" Mrs., J. Morrisette is in Pembroke this ween attending the Centenary and Old Home Week there.â€" made next door, the I. K. Pierce[Fur: niture Co. store building settled down an inch or so and the plate glass winâ€" dow at one side of the front was cracked and doors were so affected that they would not open or shut proâ€" perly. The situation was made apâ€" parent on Wednesday afternoon about three o‘clock when the front window cracked across. Investigation pointed to the acceident hbeing due to the settâ€" ling of the building on the side next to the Northern Iee Cream Parlour, where exceavations are in progress with some alterations and improveâ€" ments. _ To guard against such a conâ€" tingency new posts had been put under the one side of the Pierce buildâ€" ing, wedges being driven alongside the top of the posts. The excavations at the Northern Ic¢e Cream Parlour buildâ€" ing made it necessary to replace the old posts in the Pierce building as these did not go down fiar enough to hold when the excavations was carâ€" ried through next door. The damage done by the accident included the destroving of the plate glass window, the injury to doors and some other minor troubles. Apparently _ through excavai‘{s The first aid boxes, which are very modern in type and the latest word in this style of first aid equipment, may be described as along the line of fire alarm box idea. There is a glass on the box behind which is the key to open the box. In case of accident with no doctor handy, the glass may be hbroken by anyone and the key used to unlock the box. The box is fully equipped all the latest and best first aid equipment. Banâ€" dages, splints, medicines, ete., are available for first ard work. The two boxes now up are well placed to be of the greatest possible value in case of accidents. ‘The officers of the St. John Ambulance have duplicate keys of the boxes and will see that they are kept supplied with the .desired equipment. The boxes are identical with those now in use at all the busy crossâ€"rpads corners in the Old Counâ€" try where they have proved of the greatest value and advantage and have neen the means of saving many lives. As will be noted by the South Porâ€" cupine correspondence in this issue the inquest into the death of Mrs. Zigelletto, who was killed some weeks ago in a collision between a motor car and a motor cycle, has been adjourned for another week to allow the two raen injured in the accident to recover suftliâ€" Last week the Timmins Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade duly installed the two roadside first aid boxes brought from England for Timmins. One of the boxes hasg been erected at the Russell House corner, at the corner of Wilson avenue and Vimy road. The other first aid box is on _ the _ Timminsâ€"South â€" Poreupine road, alongside the fountain at the Hollinger. One at Russell House Gorner, Wilson Avenue, and the Other Beside â€" the Fountain at the Hollinger. INQUESTâ€"AT SOUTH END POSTPONED ANOTHER WEEK ciently to give evidence at the inquest. Mr. Anture and Mz. and Mrs. Zagelleto who were on the motor eyele at the time of the accident were residenis of Timmins, Mr. and Mrs. Zigelleto being only marmied some four months. TWO FIRGT A1D BOXES NOWâ€" INSTALLED iN TiMMINS The St. John Ambulance Brigade is to be complimented on supplying and looking after these first aid ‘boxes. In doing this work the members of the local brigade are doing a distinet pubâ€" lice service. The public should eviâ€" dence its appreciation of this public service. One way to show this apâ€" preciation is to use the boxes any time an acceident oceurs in the vicinity and the services of a doctor are not imâ€" mediately available. Another way to show appreciation is to see that the boxes are not used except when neâ€" cessary, and that they are not interâ€" fered with improperly in any way. The first arid boxes should be given the same consideration as fire alarm hoxesâ€"looked upon as the property of the public for serious use on occaâ€" sion, and not to be touched exeept when their use is actually required. The town council in giving the necesâ€" sary premission for the erection of the ‘boxes, icoupled with the permisâ€" sion and the appreciation for the S. J. A. B., the idea that town officials would give every coâ€"operation to asâ€" sure protection for the proper use of the boxes. Such protection is not likely to be needed as the general public no dowbt will feel tha the S. J. A. B. have inaugurated and are maintaining so helpful and worthy a convenience that it is the duty of all to coâ€"operate in making the plan as helpful and smoothâ€"running as pfs- stbhle. GLASS CRACKED THROU BUILDING SETTLING The Garden Competition is one feature that is worthy of particular mention. â€" Arrangements will be made to judge gardens lots on Wedâ€" nesday, August 29th. Members wishâ€" The prize lists for the fourth annuâ€" al horticultural show ito be heid in the skating ring, Timmins, are now in course of printing and will be issued very shortly. They show that the event this year will be an even bigger success than in past years, and the show has assuredly been a big sucâ€" cess in the past. The crowds visiting the event last year were especially pleased with the remarkable array of flowers, shrubs, etce., and also with the very decided impetus and encourâ€" agement given by the Horticultural Society to the growing of flowers in the town and district and the beautiâ€" fying of premises. Visitors to Timâ€" mins these days all remark on the many beautiful lawns and gardeons, and for this the Horticultural Society no doubt deserves a large measure of credit. â€"Accordingly, the Horticulturâ€" al Show to be held here on Sept. 3rd deserves support and patronage for what it has done, but still more it merits attendance for the excellence of ithe show itself. This year there is a large prize list, with a specially big array of specials. Prizes are offered for a large number of classes in flowers, shrubs, etc., and competition this year promises to be very keen. At the time the accident occurred Mr. Taylor‘s wife was about a mile from the plant picking berries when she heard the explosion and at once YOUNG AMBASGAUORS TD BF HERE SUNDAY NIGHT Party Expected Here Last Weekâ€"end to Arrive at Timmins, Sunday Evening, Aug. 12th. All who knew Mr. R. C| Taylor, superintendent of the Canada Norâ€" thern Power Co. plant at Wawaitin will be shocked to hear of his death this week as a result of an aceident at the plant. On Wednesday afterâ€" Wn of this week at obout 3.15 he was rehnewing a couple of fuses in the volâ€" tage transformer when the transforâ€" mer blew up, covering him with burnâ€" ing oil His clothes were set on fire and he was badly burned about the face, head, hands and body. V ery prompt assistance was given the unâ€" fortunate man, and che was brought down at onceâ€"by boat to Timmins to the hospital here. Everything possiâ€" ble was done for him at the power house and at the hospital but despite all medical skill and atention it was not possibe to save his life. The shock to the system was a very severe one and the extent and seriousness of the burns inflicted by the oil from the exâ€" ploding transformer caused injuries that were fatal. He died at 12.15 on Thursday morning. The party of young people, some 58 in number, making tour of the Dormminâ€" ion under the auspices of the Allied Newspapers of Great Brifain, will reach Timmins Sunday evening, Aug. 12th, at 8.25. Definite word to this effect was received this week by Mr. C. . Keddie, president of the Kiwarâ€" is Club and member of the Board of Trade executive. The preparations made for the reception of the party expected last Sunday have been duâ€" plicated for the coming Sunday. Reâ€" presentatives of the town council, Board of Trade, Kiwanis Club, etc., will meet the party at the train, and take them to the Oddfellows‘ hall where the Croatian Orchestra {(in native costume) will provide a proâ€" gramme of attractive music. _ On Monday the young people will be taken through the mines and on a trip through the district. They will leave here Mondayv. While R. C. Taylor was Renewing Fuses in Voltage Transâ€" former, the Transformer Exploded Covering Him With Burning Oil. He Died in the Hospital a Few Hours Later.
