Lloyd, much appreciated; recitation by Miss Betty Paterson, this number IROQUOIS FALLS SONS OF ENGLAND VISIT LODGE HERE Reference was made in The Advance last week to a Haileybury prospector who was stabbed in the back on Lang street, Cobalt. ‘The prospector‘s inâ€" Jjuries proved to be slight and he was out of the hospital last week and none the worse for his experiences. The police at first were under the impresâ€" sion that R. Young, the prospector, had been approached by three stranâ€" gers who set upon him, beat him up and stabbed him, and then left him to the tender mercies of wind and tide. Now, it develops that Young spent the evening with the three men involved. Young says he and the three others had a few sociable drinks around town before the assault took place. The police are still searching for the three men and it is understood that a clue has been unearthed that may lead to the apprehension ‘of the trio. In connection with the sale just closed, A. J. Shragge Limited had a unique feature, and that was the givâ€" ing of a piece of birthday cake, and a coupon with every purchase made in the store. On Friday, the concluding day of the sale, the coupons were drawn, the lucky number being given a prize of $50.00 worth of merchandise, with no restrictions as to choice. SAYs HE WAS DRINKING WITH THE MAN WHO STABBED HIM A Schumacher lady was the fortunâ€" ate winner of the big prize offered by A. J. Shragge, Limited, in connection with their first Anniversary Sale, which concluded last Friday evening, after two weeks of the most successful sellâ€" ing event ever held in Timmins. Mrs. A. H. Cooke, of Fourth avenue, Schuâ€" macher, was the fortunate holder of the ticket which gave her the choice of $50.00 worth of merchandise of any kind in the store of A. J. Shragge, Limited. The lucky number was drawn by Mr. G. A. Macdonald, Ediâ€" tor of The Advance, and the winning number was 865.

BRA NCH ES TIM MIN .8 BELILEVILLE COBALT KIRKLAND LAKE 8SUDF WOoORTH BaAY COCHRAARYE Péivate Wires to all Branches Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Brown, of Toâ€" ronto, were visitors here last weekâ€"end. Last Wednesday the condition of the weather resulted in the postponing for the season of the formal opening by the Cobalt Kiwanis Club of the Bass Lake Beach resort. Wednesday was the second or third occasion on which it was intended to hold the formal opening. On the previous ocâ€" casions the event had to be postponed. Similar action was required by the weather last Wednesday, so it was deâ€" cided to hold over the formal opening altogether for this season. Bass Lake Beach has been in use for some weeks, but the Kiwanis of Cobalt had intendâ€" ed to have a big day of sports as a formal opening event. The weather in this North Land, however, disposes sometimes of the most carefullyâ€"planâ€" ned occasions and so it was in this particular case. A geological map of interest to minâ€" ing companies and prospectors who are directing their attention to western Ontario and Manitoba has just been published by the Geological Survey. It is a map of Island Lake, eastern Manitoba. The geographical features are shown in great detail on a scale of two miles to one inch. Many of the isâ€" lands and areas along the shore are underlain by volcanic eruptive rocks and associated sedimentary rocks. These have been intruded by granitic rocks of wide distrubtion. Copies of the map may be held on appliâ€" cation to the Director, Geological Surâ€" vey, Ottawa. | OPENING OF BASS LAKE PARK POSTPONED TO NEXT YEAR "In the great majority of cases motor car tragedies are due to speed. In city streets, with their numerous inâ€" tersections, it is extremely dangerous to travel faster than 20 to 25 miles an hour in any cireumstances, and on highways where traffic is fairly heavy it is risky to go more than 30 or 35 miles an hour, yet many drivers daily go as high as 30 or more in city and 40 and up on suburban roads. In Queâ€" bee the legal limit is 20 for the city and 30 for the country, whereas in Onâ€" tario the highway limit is 35. t is well to maintain a moderate standard, for if it were raised motorists who now exceed the existing rates would simply drive still faster, some going as fast as their engines would carry their cars, to the increased peril ofo the public. Safety should remain the chief conâ€" sideration." GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP OF ISLAND LAKE, MANITOBA TORONTO, ONT. l "Statistics in the United States show that most of the mishaps on the streets and highways are due to speed and the same condition prevails elsewhere, yet there are motor enthusiasts who continue to argue that there should be little or no limit to the rate at which a car may be permitted to"go. ~These advocates of unlimited speed should consider some recent disasters recorded in the press despatches in a single day. In Milan, Italy, 21 deaths have resulted from an accident in which a racing car going at 120 miles an hour crashed into a grandstand. Not long after this a French mechanic, while trying a new car on the Parisâ€"Versailles highway, swerved to avoid striking a cyclist and tore into a group of soldiers, mowing down 17 of them. He was going at 80 miles an hour and when he jammed on the brakes his car careened into the men. It was absolutely impossible for him to have avoided doing harm, at such a speed.
