Although the Macs were defeated they sure showed some good ball playing. Their defeat was due to the first few innings Schumacher, July 9th, 1930.« Special to The Advance. In real summerâ€"like weather the Batâ€" tle of Roses was fought out in spiendid spirit on Wednesday evening of last week when the McIntyre Girls Softâ€" ball club met the Excelsior club. At the opening the Excelsior‘s looked to be easy winners, having secured a real good lead of nine to two. The Macs could not get going for a few rounds, but during their fifth visit to the diaâ€" mond they made a remarkable recovâ€" ery, and tied the score, nine all, at the end of number five. The Excelsiors were now up in arms and rolled home three runs during their next visit to the diamond. The Macs now had four runs to win with twice to bat but Blonde with the fine support of the cutfislders took care of the remaining two innings for Excelsior.

He wa> accompanied by Mr. W. H. Wilson at the piano. A very interesting reading was next given by Mrs. MacFadden. Much fun was caused by the next item, a singing competition which composed four choirs namely, Dome, South Porâ€" curiine, Timmins and Schumacher, and after much consideration the judges awarded the prize to Schumacher who were captained by Mr. C.

Marie Star explained that the Algoma wolf was in reality only an animal from an advertising story, ths yarns about the wolves that came from Sault Ste. Marie (that is the yarns or the wolves or both came from the Sault) were mary and amusing. Now, of course, the wolf yarns are stopped. But there are bear stories. Here is a bear story from the Sault that is a bear of a story:â€"‘"The trouble of six bears which have been making whcoâ€" pee arcund the ovefland at Lake Kwagrami and Wizard Lake, in the Agawa Canyon area, has been reâ€" duced by one. The animal fell to a revolver shot by Art Kearns, at the lookout tower, two miles back of Wizâ€" ard Lake, and Kearns had a thrill in giving Bruin his quietus. Hearing a racket abount the garbage dump at the tower, Kearns, suspecting the visit of a bear, sallied forth with a flashlight ana a pistol. He trained the rays of the flashlight upon the surrounding area, but could not locate the bear. By acciâ€" dent, he diverted the light until it touched the ground near his feet and there was the bear; if he had taken another step he would have bumped into the 400â€"pound animal. Kearns trained his weapon on the animal and let loose a slug. The ‘bear. grunted, meandered>â€" slowly away ahd gave up the ghost within a few yards of where it was shot. The bears have wrecked a number of summer cottages in the area." ner. During the evening refreshments were served by the kind generosity of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary to whom the greatest of credit is due. Mrs. W. G. Leck, president of the Ladies‘® Auxiliary, acted as hostess. The reception closed with "Auld Lang Syne." Mr. T. Bull left on Friday to spend a vacation at Kirkland Lake. Mr. J.

PORGUPINE ROD AND GUN GLUB AWAY TO GOOD START THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ~ Asked how the game stood it, he deâ€" clared that they had seen drowned deer right in the swamp. "The moose had a hard time but they got through. We saw some moose all in. They were so tired we could go right up to them and hit them with the paddle. They just quit, they were so all in. "But the old bear, they never quit. We saw lots of them. They kept right on swimming." Not a lodge or camp was able to withstand the high water. They were swept right down the river, and tha was the last of them. Very early the lumbering dam across Oshawan Lake went out when the waâ€" ter behind it rose 10 feet. Stories of paddling through the jack ping and white pine, of taking short cuts through the bush in their canoe where there was never water before, of getting lost when they could not follow the stream, with the whole country unâ€" der seven feet of water, of trees uprootâ€" ed by the force of the flood, and of waâ€" ter rising five feet in 24 hours, drownâ€" ing game and washing away lodges anc camps, were told to The Sudbury Star today by one of the most prominent prospectors of Sudbury who, with his partner, has just returned from the wilderness of the Oshawan Lake disâ€" trict, west of the Temagami reserve. "I never saw a flood like it," he said, "and I have been in this district 57 years, In four days the water rose seven feet above normal. We never heard of the wreck until we reached it when we were coming out down the Vermilion River, but we knew there must have been a lot of damage, and we talked a lot about it. My partner said two or thxee times, ‘By gosh! this must be domg a lot of damage to ths railways!‘" It would appear that certain separâ€" ated areas of the North suffered zseverely from the floods of the past week or two. Around the west end of the Temagami Reserve it was especially bad, according to an article in The Suwibury Star last week, in which an oldâ€"time prospector details his experâ€" periences, together with some incidents and accidents.

But every cloud has its silver linâ€" ing, and if the flood did a lot of damâ€" age it at least had its compensations, for it killed off the black flies. "They never bothered us at all; I guess they were all drowned," he told The Star. "But the mosquitoesâ€"they flourished bigger and better than ever. You‘d wake up in the morning with them black on your netting, looking at you, waiting for the feast. There was every kind and size of them, and they‘d wait until you made a little hole in the netâ€" ting to get out, and then they‘d grab a piece of meat and fly up on the limb of a tree to eat it." One of them tied a rope around his waist and went down in the water to try and locate the kicker, but all that was left was the bag of tools which were too heavy to float. "There wasn‘t even anything for the cup," he lamented. There had been alittle bit of gin left in a knapsack but it went with the pack. That was the most unkindest cut of air. They lost their kicker when they hid it on the way in just this side of a twoâ€"mile portage. They only had enough gas left to get them back, so they decided to go on in the canoe. T0 mark the spot they put a cup away up in the limb of a tree as far up as they could reach standing on tip toes. On their return there was no sign of the kicker and the cup was only two and a half feet above the water. It was hard to"get a good night‘s sleep, the prospector declared. They would roll in as usual, feet towards the river, about five feet back. "Then about 11 o‘clock my partner would jump up/ and say, ‘Bill!l Do you feel that water on our feet," and I‘d wake up with my feet wet and we‘d have to move back." "It is bad enough to get through the bush at any time," he said, "but it was infinitely worse last week. We went in on June 23 and every camp we we slept in on the way in was gone when we came back." Time and again they lost themselves when it proved imâ€" possible to follow the stream in the low ground. "Why," he said, "we paddled right through the jack pine and white pine as if they were in the middle of a lake. We cut corners wherever we wanted to save some paddling. It was the first time in a life time in the bush that I ever saw it like that." The whole watershed from the height of land down is strewn with fallen timâ€" ber, the aftermath of the deluge. 7IMMINS TOWNSITE Orange, Lemon or Lime Cup ce kn o 65c PURE ORANGE MARMALADE Stuart‘s 40 oz.
