This explosive was described as having advantages pos-‘ sessed by no other explosive used in mines or quarries. It did not conta,in: nitroglycerine, this fact tending to its: special reliability and safety. 'I'homp- sonite was further described as extla. powerful, requiring 15 per cent. less | than the ordinary powder. It was ful-! ther referred to as frostâ€"proof and so| requiring no thawing. It was free from the throwingâ€"off of noxious or | poisoncus fumes, and worked well in cither wet or dry holes. The plant of‘ the company making Thompsonite was . located at Deseronto, Ont§. Geo. A. Smith, previously a wellâ€"known and‘ prominent citizen of Timmins, was the . R. WALKER, AGENT C ASOLIN E A straight â€" run gasoline . . . ecoâ€" nomical ... uniâ€" formly clean and reliable! M i. representative here for the new powder and he was specially enthusiastic about its possibilities and virtues.. Among the directors‘of the Thompsonite Comâ€". pany was Mac Lang, M.P.P. for this riding in the legislature at that timg, and now"member for South Temisâ€" kaming in the Federal election. For years past The Advance has been advocating the completion of what is called the belt line of roads for the lNm'th. Years ago The Advance was urging some sort of highway for the | North, to connect up the principal cenâ€" itres of the area. It was> recognized then, as it is now, that roads for setâ€" tlers should be first, but highways for motor use are also very helpful and so ido much to assist in the developiment of this country. It should be noted | that all such highways as the FPerguâ€" son higshway and the «proposed belt : line of roads are of value to the settlers as well as others. Such highways sorve ! as settlers‘ roads as well as binding the different communities together in the North. Ten years ago The Advance had centred on the highway from worth Bay to Cochrans, Iroqusois Falis |and Timmins. The Government‘s reâ€" ply to all arguments for the highway was the matter of defraying the cost. "Where is the money to come from to pay for such a work?" one Cabineti Minister asked. One of the answers to this was given at a meeting of the : Timmins board of trade when Geo. A. MCOLLâ€"FRONTENAC d P AP PA L L LA L L LA PA t P of * «P M m THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMIN3, ONTARIO McCOLLâ€"FRONTENAC OIL COMPANY LIMITED Offices and Plants at Wirnipez, Reg‘na, Calgury, V ancouver, T oronts, Digrilugion Warthouses as other convenien; poin ESmith outlined a scheme about as folâ€" | lows:â€""All agree on the value anc necessity of a good highway connecting "Timmins, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls and | the other north land centres with North Bay snd the south. The diffâ€"| culty in ge‘ting such a highway built _has besn the financing. Old Ontario msthods of sharing the cost between province, county and municipality are utterly impossible here, because of the fact that so many sections are unorâ€". ganized, and there is no county orâ€". ganization at all. A new plan must be secured. Mr. Smith suggested the apâ€"| pointment by the Government of a. ‘ commission of North Land men to whom a number of townships would be f transferred, the commission to sell the timber under restrictions to raise the ‘necessary money for the construction ! of the road. Mr. Smith also had a plan for reâ€"forestation of the area tdealt with, thus assuring in the end no |dep‘.etion of the" country‘s timber reâ€" sources.. Mr. Smith estimated the cost of a waterbound macadam highway at !â€"$10,000 per mile, or a total of $3,000,0090. ‘‘He thosught if tén townships were set \aside the plan would be fully met. \The majority of the, board ‘of trade } heartily endorsed Mr. Smith‘s plan and | asked him to take it up with the Schuâ€" | macher and South Porcupine boards of The delegates to the Temisâ€" | kaming and Northern Ontario Associâ€" I sted Boards of Trade were also urged | to particularly press this matter at the imeeting calied for Iroquois Falls on t the following Monday. On account of this matter of roads and the proposiâ€" | tion outlined by Mr. Smith, it was parâ€" ticularly desired to have a large repreâ€" ssutation from here at the meeting of the Asscciated boards," said The Adâ€" vance at the time. While there was very general support given here to Mr. TIMMINS, ONT, Smith‘s proposal it was felt by many at the time that no Government would accept such a plan for the financing of the proposed highway and this refusal would be based on several reasons, good and bad. This ide@ turned out to be correct, but the proposal certainly directed attenticn to the need for a highâ€" way through the North and did more or less force the hands of the Governâ€" ment to consider the early commenceâ€" ment of the work on the road for the North, Mr. Smith was very earnest in his advocacy of his plan, but at the same time it is likely that he felt like most people did that while the plan rmroposed would not be accepted, it might at least rouse renewed interest in the plans for a highway for the North. The ‘higshway is now hore. The oldest part of it is not necessarily the best, however, and many now are searching for plans that will assure imâ€" provement in ‘the two or three spots where the hishway is not what she ought to be. l Ten years ago people did more than kick mabout the roads or for rcats. Iroquois Palls football team won from the McIntyres in a game at the Falls, the score being 4 to 1. The Schuâ€" macher men were frank to admit that the best team won on merit of play. Although outclassed, however, the Mcâ€" Intyres put up a stiff contest and the Falls had to win every inch of the way. The game was a nice example of good sportsmanshin on the part â€"of both teams and proved interesting and agreeable © throughout. Long kicking was one feature of the game, and anâ€" cther was the "heading‘"‘ of the ball by Iroquois Falls players, the Falls getting 10 less than two of the four goals from direct head bunts. "Headingâ€"off the ball" was also common all through the game. H. Sherritt, of the Porecupineâ€" Dome was the referee. In goal T. Moseleyâ€"Williams put up fine game for the visitors, making many good stops. On the forward line Davidson did special work. The rest of the Mcâ€" Intyre team worked hard and did good work, but the luck was against them. It must be said that the Iroquois Falls team ten years ago was a dandy outfit It included such players as Williams, Corris, Northey, Byrnes, Calverley, P. Corris, Martin, Costain, Lynn, Davidâ€" son and price. Ten years ago The Advance noted that English interests were negotiating for control of the Bourkes Mines. Also it was mentioned in the same issuei that the Hudsonâ€"Porcupine, the comâ€"| pany organized to take over the Whelpdale property at Timmins, weas planning to resume opgerations at an: early dats. Another mining note said , that Chas. Randall had resigned as| manager of the North Davidson and had gone to the St. Anthony Gold| Mine, which was under lease to Charlebois, formerly manager of Newray. Still another mining note| was to the effect that preliminary de-f velopment work was under way at the; March Gold Mines in Deloro township.| The work was under the direction of, A. J, Brant. The following appeared in The Adâ€"| vance of June 23rd, 1920, under the} heading, "Sad Death of E. Pruin| Arouses Much Sympathy‘":â€"The corâ€", onor‘s jury at the inquest last week; regarding the death of Edmond J. H.} Pruin on Monday, June 1l4th, at the: central shaft headframe at the Holâ€" linger mine, returned a verdict to the| effect that the death was by accident| with no blame attached to anyone | The sad accident has aroused much sympathy, the employers and fellow employees alike at the Hollinger ex-’} pressing their deep} regret and sorrow| at the unfortunate cccurrence. _ Myr. Pruin came to the North Country from: Belguim, locating first at Connaug'hti and later found his way to the ger. His ability, good character and| ambition were early recognized by his | associates. He overlooked no Oppor-! tunity to advance his knowledge of all| vwork that was assigned to him, as the' cireumstances of his death show.| While there were no witnesses to the death, it seems ‘tkat after quitting about midâ€"day ‘he evidently became}! interested in the selfâ€"dumpiny skip| arrangement on the top of the hceadâ€" frame and climbed up to better observe its operation. All that is known of} subsequent events is that he fell 32 feet, suffering a fracture of the base) of the skull, from which he died the| same day at 4 pm. A widow and nine‘ children survive him in Belguim. to| whom the deepest sympathy of all is| extended. While they have lost theiri breadwinner, the gengrous provisionsl of Canada‘s compi:nsation laws will| safeguard the widow and orphans.! Mine Inspector J. G. McMillan inves-j tigated the accident on Wednesday| and was present at the inquest." It was not unusual ten years ago for The Advance to have comment nc.:} altogether favourable to the methods: used in the North in regard to bush| fire fighting. The Advance held that: there was not always an adequate force| of fire rangers on hand to deal with| the bush fire menace and also that t,hei fire ranging staff was not always of| the best available men nor the equlipâ€"| ment of the most useful kind. On other hand The Advance was always, ready to say a good word for the fire| rangers when the occasion seemed to| demand it. An editorial in The: Ad-i vance ten years ago told of seven fires, in seven miles being dealt with insideé of seven hours. Chief Fire FRanger| Geo. Woodock and his staff in this inâ€" | stance did excellent â€" work. Within/‘ seven hours on one day they had sevenf fires in the area between South Porâ€"| cupine and Timminsâ€"â€"some seven milesâ€"and these fires were handled in very effective way. The fires were all} on a small scale when discovered but would have grown to serious proporâ€" tions had they not been dealt with very promptly and effectively. In conâ€" nection with this achievement The Adâ€" vance referred to the stories often told about fires set out deliberately against| the orders of the fire rangers. The, Advance did not think these storles‘ were always founded on fact, and it was suggested that the chief fire rangâ€" | er investigate some of these false storâ€" ies and have some of those spreading such yarns punished for the spreading of untrue stcries. A full mage advertisement in The Advance ten years ago specially adâ€" vertised fresh fruit and available at the Hollinger Stores, Timâ€" mins. Strawberries were offered at 38| cents per quart, and tomatoes at 37] cents per lb. Apples were three pounds ; for 50 cents. Grape fruit, peaches, plums, cherries and canteâ€" loupes were among the other fruits ofâ€"| fered. Lettuce at 10 cents per hcad.i Bermuda onions at 2 pounds for 25 cents, and pineapples at 30 cents each | were other items on the big list given.i Among the local an« personal item:| in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Jchn Wolk was fined| $1000.00 and. costs at Kirkland Lake,| for the illegal sale of liquor." "J. Mc~! Intosh Bell, the wellâ€"known mimngi engineer, is expected in the camp«the| end of this month in connection with : the V.N.T." "There was a lively and| interesting football match last Wedâ€"| nesday between a team of Veterans and another team from town, the Vetâ€"| erans winning 5 to 1 though the team battled hard to the very end,| though outclassed generally by the G.‘ W.V.A. team, which included many oI' the leading members of the regular| Timmins team. For the town team the work of Messrs Cadman and Roâ€"| berts was particularly effective, while: practically all of the Veterans deservez special mention for good play." "The| directors of the Hollinger Mine visited Timmins last week and spent soms time at the property, their visit, it is understood, impressing them very fayâ€" curably and further suggesting the progress being made at the big mine desri.te all handicaps." "E. Wood, proâ€" vincial superintendent of the Ocean Accident Guairantee Corporation, is spending a few days in town with Messrs Sullivan and Newton, the local agen‘s," "Plans are said to be under way for the reâ€"opening of the Porcuâ€" pine Miracle propreriy. There is oa small mining plant on this property and there was considerable work done on the claims before the war." "C. S. Carter, principal of the Timmins pubâ€" lic school, is in Toronto this week where he is on the board of examiners reaxing the papors from the departâ€" menial examinations in the province. There has been considerable comâ€" plaint in regard to the condition ef the roadway between Timmins and Porâ€" \quis Junction. It is true that the whole trouble centres at a couple of spots, one near Connaught and the other ‘near Three Nations. The remedy Iseems to be agreed upon as a lot of Igravel and some little ditching. The strips are not long ones and it does !seem too bad that these spots should be allowed to continue to give the whole !highway a bad name. Motorists are ; becoming increasingly pseeved over the ;matter, and unless something is done | and done very scon there will be much \ dissatisfaction. It seems absurd that ’year after year dry weather should be ! the only effective remedy for these bad |spots. It does not say much for the | engineering skill of those in charge of the road that year after year the diffiâ€" culty is allowed to continue. In the ) meantime, hcewever, as misery is supâ€" I posed to love company, some may get |some comfort from the fact that these stretchss are not the only bad spots }cf road in the North. The Haileyâ€" | burian last week said:â€""A short secâ€" | tion of the Ferguson highway, some 44 \ miles below Latchford, has been givâ€" \ ing some trouble since the breakâ€"upn | and the exceptionally heavy rain of last week affected it to such an exâ€" i tent that traffic was interferred with ‘ cnâ€" Saturday. Some local motorists iwere warned that if they drove down | they would not be able to get back, and poestponed or cancelled their trips, while others took a chance and got aâ€" |cross. There was only a short stretch | of swampy ground that was dangerous. IOne driver estimated it as between 23 ' and 50 feet. Quantities of gravel have been put in since the road opened for ; traflic in the spring, but apparently did not reach the bottom of the swamp. It is thought, however, that very little ‘ more filling will be required. A short detour was built, corduroy being used, and this was completed on Monday. The location of the trouble is near the south boundary of the Temagami Forâ€" est Reserve." "Alec M. Dewar, formerly city editor o one of the Montreal daily newspaper: but recently appointed as editor of Th Broke Hustler, the Abitibi paper a Ircquois FPalls, was a visitor to Tim mins on Monday of this week." "Th rains this week did an immense amoun of good in the district. South, eceas rains this week did an immense amount of good in the district, South, east and west of Timmins the downpour was very heavy and all incipient bush fires lost their force as a consequence.~ "As will be noted from the advertiseâ€" ment published elsewhere in this issue, tenders are being called for the necesâ€" sary work of excavating and backâ€"fillâ€" ing in connection with the making of waterworks connections for the new services that are made possible through the waterworks extensions of last year and this year." "Mr. and Mrs. FP. J. Hormrby and little son, Bert, arrived in the camp last week from England. Mr. Hornby has returned to The Adâ€" vance staff, of which he was a member for some years in the early days of the camp. He went cverseas in 1915 and saw much active service, being on acâ€" tive duty in the infantry in Mesopoâ€" tamia, Egynt, and other places east.
