It would appear that The Haileyblirian has a wrong idea of the purpose and usefulness of the Ferguson highway. Unless that the highway is deâ€" signed to open up a new country and assist in the development of the great North Land, it is not so desirable as it might be. It is not surely of chief use for the making of records for speed or big loads. One paragraph from The Haileyburian last week says:â€""That the Ferguson highway between Haileybury and North Bay is in pretty good shape is made evident by the fact that E. Sheedy, a North Bay taxi man, drove up on Tuesday in three hours with eight passengers in his car.‘‘ No one has been finding any fault this yvear with the condition of the roadway from Haileybary to North Bay, but criticism was surely warranted regarding the bad stretch of road near Ramore and the other bad piece of road at Porquis Junetion. At these points some men found that one mile «could not be made in three hours with only one man in the car. The people of the North would not appreciate a speedway for overâ€"burdened cars on the southern section while parts of the northern end of the road were actually impassable. The fact that the road from Haiâ€" leybury to North Bay was in good shape no doubt satisfied the people of that section, but they ought to have enough imagination to realize how they would feel if part of :the road they had to use were impassable. In urging the construction of the highway, the people further north joined the people in the Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard sections. _ It scearely seems like a sporting proposition for the southern area along the highway to turn against the other part becausé the road from Haileybury to North Bay is all that may be desired, while more northerly strips are not acceptable. Hal. B. Donly, for many years editor of The Simcoe Reformer, died last | week after a useful life of service to his town, his county, his country andl the Empire: Through his personal influence and talent and through the use of the influential columns of The Simcoe Reformer he was able to do much for the advantage of his day and generation. His fellow newspapermen held him in highest esteem, electing him to honourable offices in their association“,i and before he passed on the general public recognized something of the value| of his able pen and his publicâ€"spirit in the advancement of the interests ot.'! | | the county of Norfolk and beyond. The story of a destitute man of 81 years of age having to be sent to jail because there was no other place in which he could receive the care and attention necessary is by no means a tale creditable to the operation of soâ€" called civilization. A man who has worked for a fair share of 81 years should have somewhere more honourable than jait for his few remaining ears. The man who will not work should die in jail before reaching any b period of old age. General reports by tourists and others coming through from the South indicate that the Ferguson higl‘lway and the other main roads of the North are now in very good condition. After the meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade at Haileybury a couple of weeks ago, when there was some criticism levelled at the state of the roads in this northern section, there appeared to be increased attention given to the improvement of the bad strips of roadway. Large forces of men were at work for the Northern Development Department, and the betterment of the roadways was soon noticeable. The weather also assisted. â€" It would appear that if the Northern Ontario Development Departâ€" ment bhad shown the same activity and interest two weeks earlier in the year the cause for criticism would not have existed. _ For many years past the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade have been urging the starting of roadwork earlier than is usually the case. If this recommendation were followed out the Department would no doubt escape much censure for bad roads in the spring. The Dominion Government takes the attitude that there is no money availâ€" able to be sending airships to help in searching for prospectors who show such poor judgment as to be lost in the bush. The Government, however, has money enough to send Premier King on a holiday trip to Geneva where he will be as much lost as any prospector ever was in any wild bush. It is a funny thing about these world pacifists that while they have the most heartâ€"rending sympathy for all aliens and strangers, their own people have to observe all the redâ€"tape going on or take dire consequences. It is a piece of irony that would make any old heathen god howl with mirth to contemplate a Prime Minister going away in all the pomp of state to uphold world huâ€" manity and kindness among the nations, while his Government sits back and assures the world that prospectors doing a gallant and useful work who may have the illâ€"luck to meet misfortune in the woods have only themselves to blame. The Dominion Government is evidently not its brother‘s keeper so far as the prospector is concerned. Its brotherly love is exhausted elsewhere. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUG. 9TH, 1928 Thursday, Aug. 9th, 1928 Canada Office 26 Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association Published Every Thursday by GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Subscription Rates: $2.00 per year United TIMMINS, OHTARIO Telephones United States â€" $3.00 per year Owner and Publisher Residerpse 70 Annual Swimming Race at New Liskeard Beach, Aug.18 Interviews with tourists coming into Timmins and word from many tourists who have not made the trip this far north give emphasis to the idea of the desirability of a belt line of roads for this North. _A road connecting Timâ€" mins and K udbur\' would more than double tourist traffic to this North and give noteworthy impetus to the development of much new and promising country,. this sort of thing continues, men will be frightening their wives by threatenâ€" ing to sent them to Poreupine hospital if they don‘t do as they‘re bid. . > Object of the Race is to Encourage Swimming by the Boys and Girls and to Develop Outstanding Swimmers Who May Bring Hqgnour to the North Country. Mr. Geo. J. White, secretary of the committee handling the annual race for the White Swimming Trophy has written The Advance giving full deâ€" tails of the event iand its purposes. It is a North Land event designed to encourage swimming by the boys and girls and pobmbb to discover some outstanding swimmers who may bring honour to the North. In his letter Mr. White mentiouns that the winner of the event last year, Jack Yohn, is unfortuniately ineligible to swim this vyear owing to the t'aot that he comâ€" peted in the Wrigley Marathon at the C.N.E., Toronto, last year, this being a proteaslonal race. He was swimâ€" ming in eighth place when taken from the water. He has again entered the Wrigley event at Toronto this year and stands a good chance. The White S wimming Race last year was the means of discov ering Yohn and it is expected that other bnmlar finds will be made by following events. The White Swimming Race will be held this year on the occasion of the T. N.O. Railway picnic at New Lisâ€" keard Beach on Saturday, August 18th _ The course is from Dawson‘s Point to New Liskeard Beach, a disâ€" tance of 4% miles. The following are the rules and regulations of the event :â€" 1. The race is open to bonaâ€"fide amateurs only, of either sex. 2. Entries must be received by the secretary before 12 noon on the day of the race, but competitors are reâ€" quested to hbave their entries in as early as possible. _ No entrance fee will be charged. PROGRESS REPORT FROM THF THOMPSONâ€"CADILLAC Last week seemed to be a week of famous anniversaries. One day was the twentyâ€"fifth anniversary of the discovery of silver at Cobalt. Another day was the fourteenth anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War. And a third day was the first anniversary of the establishment of the Government liquor store at Timmins. The number of tourists now coming through to Timmins emphasizes the need for a tourist camp here. Possibly for this season, arrangements could be made for the rental of a part of the Dalton farm property for the purpose while before next season m good motor camp should be established. New Lisâ€" keard has proven the value of a good tourist camp to a town. ' In case anyone should have forgotten the matter, The Advance would point out that the cowardly murderer of Inspector Constable at Cochrane in 1926 has yet to be brought to justice. Astonishment continues to grow at the fact that the authorities have failed to do anything in this case. 3. The ‘‘White"‘ swimming trophy will ‘be held by the winner for one year, but must be returned to the comâ€" mittee for competition one month beâ€" fore the race next year. First, second and third prizes, value $25.00, $15 00, $10.00 respectively, will be awarded The many in Timmins and district interested in the Thompsonâ€"Cadillae Mines in the Rouyn area will read with attention the following §ummary of a progress report made bv the mine manager, Murray D. Kennedy, in reâ€" zard to the progress of activities at the property. Mr. Kennedy states that from July 15th to and including July "4tln, there has been a total adâ€" vance of 232 feet in crossâ€"cutting and drifting, or an average of 20.77 feet per day. + OR S W C V a a a On the 150â€"foot level the west drift on the No. 1 vein has been advanced a distance of 56 feet. The north crosscut on the same level has been advanced 6414 feet, and is into talâ€" coise schist section, which was cut through on the 300â€"foot level. it is expected that this erosscut will soon cut the large quartz vein which has been cut in the north crosscut on the 300â€"foot level. On the 300â€"foot level the east drif‘t on the No. 1 vein has been advanced 46 feet, the vein being from 1» to On the 300â€"foot level the east drift on the No. 1 vein has been advanced 46 feet, the vein being from 1%», to 2 feet wide of quartz, showing somece free gold from time to time, and the wall rock on both sides heavy ily minâ€" eralized. This shafit, Mr. Kennedy states, looks excetionally favourable all the way from the station, and the vein‘ will be drifted on west as soon as the cage and turn sheets are instalâ€" led. large vein and may have an important bearing on the future prospects of the property.

FORMER YOUNG LADIES OF NORTH AT KIRKLAND LAKE 11. The committee in icharge will be composed of F E. Thompson, chairman; Geo. J. White, secretary; In reference to the visit last week to Kirkland Lake of the Kiwanis moâ€" toréade from ithe South, the following paragraph by the Cobalt correspondâ€" ent of The Sudbury Star will be of general interest in this district :â€" "On their trip through the North, members of the Kiwanis motorceade, including representatives from the Barrie, Kingston, Windsor and Kuitâ€" chener clubs, paid a visit to Cobalt on Thursday. Durine their stay at Coâ€" M. B. Saunders, J. H. Lever, Fred Fitzgerald and Fergie Cadman. balt, they were entertained at the usâ€" ual weekly luncheon of the local club, afterwards being taken for an inspecâ€" tion of the Nipissing mill and refinery. At the luncheon, the speakers included Governor Mills, of the Ontario and Quebecâ€"district, and Lieut.â€"Governor Dr. W. Lewis, of Barrie. The prinâ€" cipal theme was the stimulation of interâ€"club relationsâ€"and reference was made to the forthcoming convention at Kitchener, whose club had a strong delegation present. Plans for their future activities included the presenâ€" tation of a charter to the Kirkland Lake elub on Thursday night, with a visit to Timmins on Friday and to New Liskeard on Saturday, while the visitors are to be present at the carniâ€" val to be held by the Kiwams on Saturday night.
