Other Iguests noted included former mayor, E. G. Dickson and A. Odgers, Dictator of the Moose. Dancing was the crder of the evening and very pleasing songs were rendered by R. Lowery and Mrs. Gregson. The Timâ€" Branch Bugle band, under the direction of Bandmaster Pat Cherry, gave an exhibition of their talents, the fife and drum music providing splendid harmony for the square dancâ€" ing. The orchestra for the modern dances was under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. J. Huxley, of Schumacher. ‘The many presents displayed evidencâ€" ed the regard in which the couple are held by many friends and acquaintâ€" ances. A delightful buffet lunch was provided and the 3â€"tier cake cut and passed around. The health of Mr. and Mrs. Chulak was toasted from a mixâ€" ture mixed by President Austin Neame pf the Legion. The hall was beautifulâ€" ly declorated for the occasion.

Although none of the burns seemed especially . sericus in themselves they were numerous enough to warrant every precaution being takâ€" en and so Dr. Case, who was called in to attend to the child, had her removâ€" ed to the hospital for treatment. The youngster passed a fair night on Sunâ€" day evening, and though her condition is recognized as serious, there seems to be good hopes and excellent chances for the baby‘s recovery without serious injury of any permanent kind. Theresa Bedard, the twoâ€"yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emile Bedâ€" ard, Earl street, Cobalt, is in the mines hospital at Cobalt suffering from raâ€" ther severe burns sustained at her home on Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Bedard had gone to church, just across the road from their home, leavâ€" ing the little girl safely at home with her brother who is seven years old. While the parents were away, this sevenâ€"yearâ€"old Gerald, was searching in a closet to secure an apple and beâ€" ing unable to see as clearly as he wishâ€" ced he struck a match. According to th2 despathes about the matter, the lad apparently set fire to some papers and the flames spread to some clothing hanging in the closet. The little girl evidently had also entsred the closet and her clothing took fire as well. If the boy may be said to have been thoughtless or careless in his use of the match, it would seem quite evident that he showed very commendable rwesence of mind and considerable skill and courage after the event. He secured water from the tap and first extinguished the fire on his little sisâ€" ter‘s clothing. Then he extinguished the blaze in the clothes closet which would undoubtedly have reached seriâ€" sus proportions had it been allowed to proceed unchecked. After he had thus acne all he could do to undo the harm he had accidentally originated the sevenâ€"yearâ€"old boy ran over to the church and secured his parents to give the little girl any further attention necessary. When the parents arrived home and noted the conditicon of the little girl they at once sent for mediâ€" cal aid. It was found that the little zirl was burned about the legs, arms, body and fate. Although none of the burns sesemed especially . sericus in south, on Wednesday afterncon, Oct. 22nd, from 3 to 6 p.m. Everybody will be welcome to this event and it is sure to be a pleasing affair.

"Aand whereas the ultimate object of of the Federal Government is to create a highway from coast to coast, and the best and most natural route through Greater Ontario is via North Bay to Cochrane and thence west to Winnipeg through the Greater Clay Belt." At this time two other paragraphs in the resolution passed by the Asâ€" !sociated Boards ten years ago should be | of interest. There is always danger of forgetting or overlooking the original and basic purposes of public works such as roads. The same tendency is noted in regard to consideration of the proposed Transâ€"Canada highway, at l’least so far as some sections of the country are concerned. No road should lbe built without some further advanâ€" tage than scenic effects. There are too many roads needed to serve other useâ€" ful and needed purposes, and that if built would provide at the same time excellent scenic effects. In this part of the country it would be difficult to find a road or build a road where there are not the charms of scenery of atâ€" tractive order. The two paragraphs reâ€" ferred to above are as follows:â€" "and whereas the proposed highway would make accessible to the travelling public the greater natural resources in lumbering, pulp, mining and agricuiâ€" ture, and result in the investment of | greatly increased capital in the developâ€" ment of the natural resources of this | district." ; "And whereas the proposed highway |is a longâ€"felt want, especially in the | agriculitural districts. as a connecting link between th> different colonization can be boistered up for this routs. Ten years ago, as now,‘there was not much weight given in this North Land to the scenic idea for it was known here that it is not necessary to go through useless country to find sesnic effects in this North Land. Thse varieâ€" ty and charm of the route from North Bay to Cochranse and west far exâ€" called the north shore route, in the opinion of the people of the North Land who knew something of both routes. The ons route had short stretches of rocky country to lend rugged attraction to a trip, but in addition it had beauâ€" tiful forest avenues, roads through thriving agricultural lands, and a dotâ€" ting of interesting centres of populaâ€" tion, the combination giving the interâ€" est and variety that delight the travelâ€" ler. The route along the north shore of Lake Superior was candemned ten years ago, not only because of its proâ€" hibitive cost to build, but also because of its monotony and the lack of interâ€" est in its expanse of dull rock. It may be repeated that the cost of the rocky route ten years ago frighened most people away from thoughts of the early building of the Transâ€"Canada highway. It has been suggested that the refusal of the people of this part of the North Land to support the route along the north shore of Lake Superior has deâ€" layed the completion of the Transâ€" Canada highway. It may be said with much more truth that the advocacy of ths> impractical and. undesirable nerth shore route has for ten years and more proved a wet blanket on all ideas for the completion of a route across canada. If the urging of the logical present route is delaying the Transâ€" Canada route for a time, the advocacy of the north shore way would stop the project for all time. Ten years ago the Temiskaming Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade were enthusiâ€" astically active in urging the building of a North Land highway to connect the: different parts of the North with the southern systems of roads. Referâ€" ance has been recently made by The Adâ€" vance to the way the North Land highâ€" way was linked with the plan for Transâ€"Canada highway. In the report by the committee of the Associated Bcards dealing with the matter there are many evidences of the fact that in 1920, no less than toâ€"day, the thought was in the minds of these who had given the matter special study that the North Land highway would form an ideal and logical link in the projected Transâ€"Canada highway. In the second paragraph of the resolution passed by the Associated Boards at the time this is made plain, this paragraph reading as follows:â€" Rocently one of the daily newspapers in referring to the proposal that the Ferguson highway should be used as part of the Transâ€"Canada highway, it was casually suggested that this route wais "among the new routes mentioned". "his is quite wide of the mark. The u> cf the North Land highway and a route from Cochrane west has been adâ€" vocated for more than ten years. As The Advance pointed out in its last issue one of the arguments used ten and eleven years ago in connection with the advocacy of the North Land highway (now known as the Ferguson highway) was that it would form a logical link in the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way. Instead of this rocute being one of the new routes it is really one of the old ones. It is true that the route by way of the north shore of Lake Superiâ€" or was advocated strenuously years ago and it may be noted that perhaps nothing else delayed so much progress of work on the projected road across Canada. From the beginning the adâ€" vocaters of the route along the north shore of Lake Superior were constantly facod by the fact that such routs would cost a mint of money to build, and when built would pass through country unfit for settlement. The arâ€" gument that it would have scenic charm was used then, as now. Indeed, it seems to be the only argument that Mistake to Suggest That Route Through This Part of the North Land is Something New. Route Sugâ€" gested Ten Years Ago.

Tout , *‘ thetrs was nC this North Lan ¢ it was kncow nmnecessary to g vÂ¥ to findg sesoni In the report of the committee that resulted in the resolution passed by the Associated Boards there are further references that are applicable also to the Transâ€"Canada highway. For inâ€" "Speaking generally for the different claybelts, the allâ€"important question is the incrzsasing of the settlers on the land. Nothing could accomplish this more satisfactorily or more rapidly than the construction of this highway. One important point to consider is not the fact of the landsthat the highway would actually but the fact that it would be a foeus forn other roads. With this as an "Objective roads would be built where they would do the most good to the most people. There is no doubt that the different Clay Belts one day will be great farming countries. A great many settlers only live on the land a few months in the year and this would be overcome with good allâ€"year roads. To a farming community the economizc advantags of a road uniformâ€" ly good at all seasons is greater than might appear at first glance. It may in many instances amount practically to a saving equal to the entire cost of hauling by permitting the work to be done at times when other work is imâ€" this making men and teams available for other duty in good weaâ€" ther. The greater benefits derived from gcood roads are in increased comfort, together with social and educational advantages which they make possible and which add greatly to the happiness and success of rural life." This paragraph also should be of inâ€" terest suggesting, as it does, that the same ‘idea applies to the use of this North Land route as part of the Transâ€" roads, resulting in increased and more econgested settlements, solving to a great extent the educational question of the rural districts and giving increased opâ€" portunity for social advantage." Canada highway:â€""A large quantity of timber to be cut only awaits the conâ€" struction of a good road to enable the settlers to bring it to the market. In addition considerable cedar is to be had for telegraph poles, and railroad ties, from which with the other timâ€" ber mentioned the Government would derive considerable revenue. â€" There is quite a large part of this section that is good farming land and has not been Russian pulpwood transported by steamer to Canada and reâ€"exported from Canadian points to the United States was underselling Canadian pulpâ€" wood in that market and seriously inâ€" juring those settlers who, having acâ€" quired and cleared sections of bushland, were experiencing difficulty in disposâ€" ing of their cut timber, G. C. Piche, chief forestry cfficer of the Provincial Lands and Porest Department of Queâ€" bec, told the Board of Railway Commisâ€" sioners last week. The board was hearâ€" ing the application of various newsâ€" print interests against the imposition of an increased freght rate on that commodity, transported to United States points. Asked by Commissicner ‘Thomas Vien if thers was any consumption of Russian pulpwod by Canadian mills. Mr. Piche replied in the negative. IL was, however, exported to the United States at the same rate from Canadian points as Canadian pulpwood, and unâ€" dersola the Canadian product in the United States markets. Mr. Piche gave some figures of freight rates from ‘Three Rivers to varisus stations across the line. settled en account of lack of transporâ€" tation. This read would remove this nandicap. A great assistance would be given to a number of mining areas now held back in development by lack of transportation facilities." sSUCCESSFUL WHIST DRIVE ALLâ€"BRITAIN SOCIAL CLUB A very successful whist drive was held on Tuesday last under the ausâ€" pices of the Allâ€"Britain Social Club, a very pleasing time being spent by all. The prize winners were as follows:â€" ladies and gentlemen, first, Mrs. B. Richards and A. Parker; second, Mr. and Mrs. L. Bound; third, Mrs. Briggs and Mr. McCarthy. The next event by the Allâ€"Britain Social Club will be a dance on Saturâ€" day, Oct. 18th, with the Club Royal orchestra furnishing the music for the occasion. Everybedy will be welcome and: sure to have a pleasant evening. The concluding words of the report previous to dealing with the matter of probable cost (which is given as not more than $10,000.00 a mile) are espeâ€" clally worth reviewing, with the thought of the Transâ€"Canada highway route in mind. The report says: â€" "Apert from the direct commercial value of the highway, a very important fact to consider is that it would open up the country to tourist traffic in a way that no railroad could ever do. One may.travel for days on a train withâ€" out recsiving any lasting impression of the country travelled through but the same cannot be said about motoring. It is safe to say that thousands would see this country each year, who otherâ€" wise would be unable to see it. This influx of tourists would mean capital brought to this country and in a good many cases investments would follow to develop its unlimited resources which have hardly been tapped. One day there will be constructed a transâ€"conâ€" tinental highway of which the North Bay to Cochrane highway would be a natural and important part. sSAYS RUSSIAN PULPWOOD NOW A MENACE TO QUEBEC Bornâ€"In Timmins, Ont., on Thursâ€" . day, Oct. 16th, 1930, to Mr. and Mrs.!

"We noticed that the Hon. Mr. Robi now seeking reâ€"election, was asked when on the platform to tell the elecâ€" tors his views as to the route which | should be taken for the Transâ€"Canada road. He was emphatic in declaring that this was a matter for the enginâ€" eers to settle, and he refused to answer the question. Dr. Robb was quite right. } The engineers must ultimately decide.l and in the matter of the selection of a "scenic‘ route there is nothing in the country to surpass the Ferguson highâ€" way, say between New Liskeard and North Bay, and more espscially the! central partâ€"Temagami, Mcose Lake,| Leg Lake, Nineâ€"Mileâ€"Lake, the Monâ€"| treal River, indeed there are pretty lakes and rivers all along the highway for about one hundred miles. Las:i week, a lady and gentleman who moâ€" tored from Fort William via Minnsaâ€" polis and the Scoo, to New Liskeard, said they could have made the run from the Bay here much quicker had they noc been constrained to stop and view the pretty scenes en route. But those of use who prefer the "substance to the shadow" think the nicest scenes afâ€" forded to visitors of Ontario are the fields of ripening grain swaying in the breeze during harvest time, and these are the scenes which please the tourists while passing over the great highway of North and South Temiskaming for upâ€" wards of 200 miles. "Three Commissioners of Crown Lands, the Hon. E. J. Davis, the Hon. Pr. Rheume ‘and the ‘Hon. â€"Wm.Finâ€" layson, have each said it would pay the province to move farmers from the poor land of certain secticns and settle them in Temiskaming. Mr. Finlayson is still in authority, and he is not likely to waste money in building highways which will not add to the material wealth of the province, while people along the Ferguson highway are crying out for roads so that they may settle along this highway in Northwestern Ontario. "And we might remind the Star that along the Ferguson highway there are two Government Demonstration Farms which ought to speak for the agriculâ€" tural capabilities of the territory along this highway. Governments do not establish demonstration farms where there is not good agricultural land." A meeting of the Timmins Welsh Male Choir is called to be in the United Church on Sunday, Oct. 19th, at 4 p.m. Important business will be before the meeting and so as large an attendance as possible is naturally desired. In commenting last week on articles in The Toronto Saturday Night and The Sault Ste. Marie Star, The New Liskeard Speaker says:â€" ‘"While the advocates of the Cochâ€" rane route would be quite willing, we imaginge, to allow the route of the Transâ€"Canada highway to be selected by the Province of Ontario, because hundreds of miles of the PFerguson highway can be taken for the route. yet? we cannot think that it would be the policy of the Dominion Governâ€" mint to provide the money and then allow the Provinces to spend it where tmncy‘ felt Esposed. The Star and soemse central and western Ontario paâ€" pers seeni to forget that the road to be built is a transâ€"Canada road, and not a province road, and hence it is imporâ€" tant that there be one engineering head for all the provinces as there has bsen when building the railroads.

For some years past Timmins has been in no danger from forest fires, there being a goodly belt of clearâ€" ed land now on all sides of the town. Only a very serious fire, such as that wliich destroyed Hailleybury in 1923, would do any particular harm to Timâ€" mins now, and it is not ilkely that even the Haileybury type of fire would be permitted to get away here. During the past season the Forestry Branch has shown the value of its men as fireâ€" fighters. They have done much indeed to reduce th forest fire menace,â€"more, perhaps, than is generally recognized. While the fire belt around Timmins may be sufficient, there may be some other risks in this area that could be removed this winter, giving employment to men needing work and adding to the general safety. Whether this is so or not could easily be found out from the fireâ€"ranging staff. In any event, The Advance believes as it has‘ done for years, that a force of the fire rangâ€" ers should be kept on the job all the year round. Such a plan would pay in the long run. There is considerable unemployment in the Kirkland Lake area it is said, and it is also believed that the fire beolt P usnn u* 2® “.“.“.“.00.0 *# # #* # + #* # # *4 *# # #4 /A .. .. * # *4 JPA# #4 #4 .0 * * *) .* .00.0 #©.® # 0.0 *# /AZ/ * %4 0’00 * * t .+ .“.00.00.0 *# *# # #4 *# + #4 * # #4 * + *# .N *. * * # * '0 * .0 ## * + #4 + # #% * .0 AA, 00. #4 * + *4 *# # #* # # *4 + # ++ * # #4 *# # 44 * w #4 * # 44 * 4 * . a e0 v* As a method of helping the unemâ€" ployment situation in the North, The sUGGESTS WIDENING OF FIRE BELTS INX THE NORTH +/* > * * * 0“0 .'0’ *# “. * + +# «» 00. #4 *® # ## # .“ .“ o #. ®) %) 0 %..® .\“ * * #* *# La #4 * #® #* *# % .*% .% + ..0.00. * * *#* * *# #4 * *# #* * Ld Lad * *# ++ *. * .’ .0 *# * #4 d *#* ®._% * .“.00.“. # * 00.( + # 00.00 *. :% ® * t .t + .00‘ .0 0.00 * *# *ee*ss* / . % # # # < Fresh, Smoked and Salt Fish Always in Stock Highâ€"Class Merchandise at yvery reasonable prices "Ten Months to Pay ; no Fees ; no Intereost Robt.

It is cstimated that $10,000 will be spent for this work in Cochrane district, which include all the territory from Kirkland Lake to James Bay. If work of this kind is undertaken in Teck township, the council felt that clearing should be done to the south of Chaputâ€" Hughes and continued eastward to }Poplar Ave. A fire belt was cleared to the south of Kirkland Lake on May 23rd last when fire raged from Goodâ€" fish Road to Gull Lake.
