Raycroft, of 78 Mountjoy street, Timmins, passed away at St. Mary‘s hospital at 3 a.m. on Friday morning last, August 30th.

VERY LARGELY ATTENDED KIWANIS WORKERS AT TIMMINS PLAYGROUND "Kâ€"Ray," the Kiwanis magazine in a recent issue publishes this picture of some of the workers responsible for the establishment and care of the Tinmmins Kiwanis Wading Pool, near the skating rink. The picture shows a group of Kiwanis members visiting the playground. The picture is accompanied by.the following note:â€""Happy play instinets of real boys and girls flourish abundantly in this wellâ€"planned playground.

The programme prepared for the next band concert, Sunday evening, Sept. Bth, after the church services, is a specially pleasing one and will no doubt be particularly popular, includâ€" ing a number of special selections of more than passing interest. It is the intention to give a band concert each Sunday evening, after the church services, during the present month, provided the weather is favourable. If this is PBractical, the band will be able to play more than the usual numâ€" ber of open air concerts this season. A dozen such concerts have been givâ€" en so far this yvear. and Mrs. A. J. Shragge and staff, Miss J. Pitzgerald, Miss Bertha Boutin, Mr. Chas. Barnard. Provided the weather is favourable there will be another band concert givâ€" en on Sunday next, Sept. 8th, afteéer the church services. The Sunday evening band concerts at the park on Spruce street have proven spécially popular this summer. The last two or three of these concerts have attracted unusually large crowds. It would apâ€" pear that the public prefers the Sunâ€" day evening concerts, to judge by the attendance, the Sunday evening events this season drawing much larger crowds than the weekâ€"night evenings. As the concerts do not start until after the church services are over, they do not interfere with the church services, and also attract a good proportion of those who have already been at church.

Practically |\ every part of the Dominion is repreâ€" |sented in the Senate and great care is | taken to see that the balance between the various sections is maintained. !Despite the fact that the North Land !represents 80 per cent. of the surface ‘and an even greater proportion of the | natural resources of the province, this zpart of Ontario has no Senator and it will take a lot of agitaâ€" "Another Ontario senatorship has just been vacated by death, making two seats to be filled from this proâ€" vincte. The North ought to have reâ€" cognition for one of them, because it needs an advocate in the red chamber so long as the second chamber is part and parcel of our federal parliament. Let our man be a man of standing as well as substance; the big interests are well taken care of now in Senate reâ€" presentation. _ A man of the people and for the people is what we want." tion before one is appointed. Now is the time, with a number of Senate vacancies, for a general agitation for a North Land representative in the Upper House. In commencing on the matter last week, The Northern Triâ€" bune sAVS:â€" Mr. L. Sauder, of South Porcupine.! who is an oldâ€"timer of this part of the North, has a particularly interesting| old coin to add to the list of these shown The Advance in recent monthns.| The coin referred to is a halfâ€"pennyi token of the days of George III. It is | dated 1812, and though thus over 117 vyears old is in excellent state of preâ€" servation, the design and insciption being quite easy to decipher, and the coin showing little result from its age.| though well worn all right. Mr. Sauâ€" ‘picked up this old coin at Pottsâ€" ville after the big fire of 1911. Accordâ€" dingly, he values it in double wav, both Old Coin Found After the Big Fire of 1911 as un old and rare coin, and a ventr of the big Porcupine fire ed Semiâ€"Finals Toronto vs Lake Shore Mines, at Toâ€" ronto, Sept. 14th.

D. MacKay, sherifl ; of Cochrane District showed The Adâ€" vance a couple of coins that seem to | | come under the double heading of old ‘and rare. Mr. Mackay had noted the | recent references in The Advance to | ’old and rare coins held by people ms this district, and he thought that two | of several coins that he possesses had| most of those previously mentioned | outclassed for age and rarity. The two | ;coms shown by Mr. Mackay seem to | be difficult to equal for age and oddity. | One of them is a Portugese coin of the i | year 1728 This is in an excellent state | ‘ of preservation despite its age of 201 | | | | vears. Although somewhat worn with much handling the design and inscripâ€" tion on the old Portugese coin are easily decipherable and there is no question of its being genuine. The other coin is even more interesting, though it may not be so old. It is acâ€" tually dated 1304, but there seems to be a general opinion, backed by experts in old coins that coins were not dated until about 1484. The coin in quesâ€" tion is Turkish, Syrian or Moorish and so far as it can be deciphered the inâ€" scription reads, "Sultanate de Brunel." Like the Moorish coin held by Mr. W. O. Langdon, Timmins, and dated 1283, Mr. Mackay‘s coin may have‘been acâ€" tually coined some hundreds of years after the apparent date on it. The Moslem year is some 600 years behind the calendar generally in use toâ€"day. The coin held by Mr. Mackay is very evidently an old one, perhaps a hunâ€" dred years old, and probably older. It would be interesting to know just what it is and its exact age. Mr. Mackay has promised to find out when in the city some time and to satisfy the curioâ€" sity of The Advance in this respect.

The first flower show under the ausâ€" pices of the Cochrane Horticultural Societyâ€" was held at the town hall, Cochrane, some days ago, and proved a general success.

COCHRANE HORTICULTURAL SHOW PROVES BIG SUCCESS COORBA L‘TI ROTY N UKRY ! This week thers is a petition being with the purpose of asking lt.he Government to give the settlers a road from Drinkwater Pit Station to lthc Frederickhouse River, for the benefit of those on the homesteads to | be served. When the petition was \shown to The Advance it had the inames of sixteen bonaâ€"fide settlers lwho would be helped by the road petiâ€" | tioned for. These settlers have been on the land in the area affected for ’periods ranging from five to fourteen | years, all of which time they have had to struggle with the handicap of lack of roads. These settlers have clearâ€" ances of from 10 to 60 acres. Some of them are actually making good, despite ‘their handicap of the lack of a road. All of them are the right type of setâ€" tler and would do well if they had th» assistance that would be given by a ‘passablc read. To pack on their backs all the supplies taken in and all the produce taken out is a burden too great to be borne in these modern days. It is no wonder that some of the settlers lhave become discouraged and quit. The only wonder is that all of them lhave not given up the unequal struggle. | | t The Government should play fair with these desirable settlers. They have alâ€" ready proven their quality and have shown that they deserve any little help that may be needed to give them a |fair chance to make good. The Govâ€" ernment should grant the petition as soon as received.
