In the resolution it was pointed out that there was a road built now from South Porcupine down to McArthur township and this road was in good shape for use as a winter road. There would be less than twenty miles to cut to connect up with the Mataâ€" chewan field and give that area access to Timmins, the largest town in the North. Reference was made at the meeting to the special need of a new camp like Matachewan and it was poinied out that to be connected with a large town like Timmins was of espeâ€" cial advantage. On account of the [ j mines, lumbering and other big indusâ€" tries here, the wholesale and retail | businesses here had to carry practicalâ€" | ly everything in the way of suplolies. \‘ There was practically nothing in the | way of supplies that could not be seâ€" cured here. This had been proven by | the big firms operating north of Cochâ€" |â€" rane who had found that even though | no other town in the North carried | some certain thing needed, it couldi nearly always be obtained from Timâ€"| mins. One firm in the far North reâ€" cently wanted a certain type of shovel. They could not obtain these in any Of | the other centres of the North. Even! North Bay, when asked by wire could | not fill the bill execept by wiring south | for them. The shovels were supplied! by a Timmins firm as a matter of | course, the order being filled and on its way in an hour or two from its receipt. It was noted at the board of trade meeting that what applied in the case of the shovels held good in practically every line. On account of its own inâ€" dustries and the general situation and location here, wholesalers and merâ€" chants carry more extended stocks in Timmins than in most of the smaller cities. The advantage to a new gold camp in being connected with a large fown like Timmins was accordingly a great benefit to the camp, as well as being helpful to the town of Timmins. Reference was also made to the right ‘of way for the power line running from near Timmins to the Matachewan area. This power line right of way with comâ€" paratively small expenditure would ofâ€" fer a chance to make a good winter road to connect the Porcupine with the new Matachewan camp. This proposed route, however, was not emphasized, in view of the fact that for ten or more miles below South Porcupine there is a road good enough for use by autos running down to properties that are being worked in McArthur township. iLess than twenty miles â€" probably twelve miles would be nearer the exact markâ€"would be necessary to cut to connect the road in McArthur townâ€" ship with the Matachewan field. The Timmins board of trade felt that the | prompletion of this winter road would be of very decided benefit to Matacheâ€" ! wan and would no doubt have a very matgrial effect on its development this coming winter. The resolution to the Government accordingly urged the conâ€" necting up of the two camps in this way. It may also be noted that A. F. Kenning MP.P., is also working on aA plan along this line with the idea of benefitting both the Porcupine Camp and the Matachewan field, as well as the section of promising country in between. The thirtyâ€"five or forty miles from Timmins and with over half the necessary roadway to connect up tfue two camps being already in use, this seems to be the most feasible plan to give ‘the Matachewan area the necesâ€" ‘sary transportation facilities and means of access. + _â€"â€"..._â€"_â€"â€"-â€"_â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"__â€"â€"_-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_â€"â€"â€"_'_â€"_______â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"w-â€"â€"’_â€" oard of Trade Points Out to Govern ment the General Advantage From Such a Road. Les; Than Twenty Miles to be Buili,. Another resolution passed ‘by the mecting gave apyrrveciation to the Norâ€" thern Development Department for the greatly improved condition of the highâ€" way between Timmins and Porquis Junction. It was pointed cut that peoâ€" ple in general had commented very favourably on the very decided imâ€" provement in the rcadway achieved in the last few weeks, but the general cpinion was also passed along to the department that peoprle felt that the present good condition of the road could not be expected to be permanent unless there was a new system of top dressing adopted for the road. Another matter coming before the meeting was the kindly offer suggested by the Kiwanis Club in regard to the two badies holding a joint meeting, say, once a month for board of trade matters. Those present at the meeting tooked favourably on the proposition #s likely to be of material assistance in the work of the board of trade and likely to increase in.srest in board of trade matters gencrally. It was pointâ€" ed out that in some towns the board of trade was a luncheon club, and that this idea for Timmins had been conâ€" sidered. The prohsal of the Kiwanis Club appeared to offer all the advanâ€" tages without the disadvantages of turning the board of trade into a lunâ€" cheon club. The members of the Kiâ€" wanis Club present were asked to give their club the opinion of the meeting as expressed. In this connection it may be noted that practically all the members of the Kiwanis Club are past or present members of the board of trade. Ths meeting considered that in view of all the circumstances, the plan O:tawa Journal:â€"Never hurt dumbf Blairmore (Alberta) Enterprise:â€"We animals. If a man thinks he is good wish to state that the huge footprints locking don‘t tell him any different. ; found in Colorado were not ours. gested was at least well worth a THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO At Cochrane last week a coroner‘s jury found that Wilfred Dobie met death from a fractured skull, caused when his autemobile overturned on the Ferâ€" guson highway, 10 miles south of Cochâ€" rane, on October 15 while he was drivâ€" ing recklessly under the influence of liquor. The inquest was not held until almost two weeks after the accident, bwing to injuries sustained by Mrs. Ethel Bonner, who with her 6â€"yearâ€"old baby was a passenger in the car at the time of the wreck, preventing her from appearing in court. Wilfred, young son of the deceased, was also riding in the car. Cochrane Jury Found Fatality Due to Drink According to Page, a telephone call was recgived at provincial police headâ€" aquarters at Cochrane on October 15th at about 4.30 pm. that an accident had cccurred on the highway and a man was seriously hurt. After picking up Dr. Paul, local physician, he pwoceeded to the scene of the accident, where the car, 1927 Ford sport roadster, was found propped up with a stick and the body of Doble underneath. He had to slit the top of the car with a knife in order to get the body out. Immedâ€" itately on arrival Dr. Paul had proâ€" »mcunced the man dead. A search of the car revealed a gallon of wine with the seal intact. Examâ€" ination of the deceased‘s man‘s liquor permit revealed that he had purchased a gallon of wine and a bottle of spirits that day, but the spirits was not found. Examination of the tracks made by the car revealed that it had run along for about 70 feet with one wheel in the ditch before overturning. Witness beâ€" lieved that the actual overturning was caused by the left front wheel striking the end of a culvert. There was a slight curve, not more than 4 degrees, at the spbt where the car left the road, but he did not believe the curve was acute enough to have caused the acâ€" cident, even though the car had been travelling at an excessive rate of speed. When asked whether she though: Doble was quite normal, Mrs. Bonnsr declared that "He was either drunk or crazy, I don‘t know which." Both she and Wilfred Doble, his son who was riding in the car, begged him to drive slower, as he had swerved a couple of times before and nearly left the road. He kept working the choke trying to get more speed out of the car, she said Lianne Gooding, "a sevenâ€"yearâ€"old |girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Goodâ€" ing, of Cochrane, was rather badly |bumed one day last week in attempting ‘to light a fire in the kitchen stove. The youngster had gotten out of bed before any of the others were awake When she felt the car turning ove> she shielded her 6â€"monthsâ€"old baby with her arms as best she could. She suffered bruises and cuts. She tried to get the little boy, Wilfred, to crawl out, but he would not until his father said, "Wilfred get out so Mrs. Bonâ€" ner can." Almost immediately she said, Mr. Doble‘s face began to turn a funny color and she knew he was dead. Mrs. Bonner did not believe the driver was unduly crowded. Other witnesses *estified to the reckless manner in which deceased had been driving, and to the fact that he had been drinking. Dr. W. S. Paul gave the opinion that death was due to a fractured skull, and | in the family and undertook herself to get a fire going in the stove. In some ‘manner or another the child‘s clothâ€" Iing caught fire and her nightdress was ipractically burned off her before help ‘could reach her. The child‘s hair was ;singed but her face escaped any burns iof any consequence. Fortunately, the \ youngster will not be marked, none of |the burns being deep. The child will | be fully recovered from the injuries reâ€" ‘ceived in a few days, the burns, though very painful, not being deep. The ‘child‘s grandmother was the first to in reply to a question by Coroner E. R. Tucker, said a man might speak aftâ€" er having sustained a fractured skull, providing the blood did not start to clot immediately. The Kirkland Lake Northern News last week says:â€""A very important event in the lives of the McGill triplets ccecurred on Sunday on the occasion of their fourth birthday. The triplets who are the children of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. McGill, of Kirkland Lake, have been the object of much interest to local residents, their welfare and growth beâ€" ing closely followed. The three sturdy youngsters, Dorothy Elizabeth, Arthur William and John Duncan, were born in Englehart, and shortly after came to reside with their parents and six other brothers and sisters in Kirkland Lake."

INDIAN‘S BIRGH BARK CANOE THREATENS TO DISAPPEAR The Mackinaw Boat, the Peterborough Canoe, the Flying Machine and Other Modern Contrives Are Ousting the Bireh Bark Canoe Few men who have lived in this: North Land have taken more interest in every phase of life in this country than has been taken by Alex M. Dewar for several years a resident of Iroquois Falls and editor of The Broke Hustler there, and now editor of "Abitibi‘" the monthly magazine published at Toronâ€" to for employees of the Abitibi Power Paper Co. Alex got into the bush, as well as keeping an eye on the towns, and he was always anxious to learn anything of historical value about the country or its people. While at the Falls he maintained a friendship with several Indians of the district and from them no doubt learned many of the things he wanted to know and so learnâ€" |ed to know. ‘There will be special inâ€" terest accordingly in Mr. Dewar‘s arâ€" ticle in a recent issue of "Abitibt" on "The Disappearing Birch Barck Canâ€" oe." In this article he says:â€" "In the fur land, as soon as the rivers run clear, the Indian lifts his birch bark canoe from its resting place where through the long winter it has lain beneath a covering of snow and branches. "The canoe is a piiart of the Rod man, fitted for him and his ways. What the horse is to the Arab, the camel to the desert traveller, or the dog to the Eskâ€" imc, the birch bark canose is to the Indian. The forest along the river shore yields all the material necesary for its construction: cedar for its ribs, birch barck for its outward covering, the roots of the juniprr to sew together the separate parts, red pineto give resin for the seams. It is built close to the Inâ€" dians‘ wigwam on river or lake shore "During the summer season, the canâ€" cs is the home of the Red man. It is not only a boat, but a house; he turns it over him as a protection when he camps; he carries it long distances over land from lake to lake. Frail yet he loads it to the water‘s edge. In it he steers boldly out into the broadest lake or paddles through woods and swamps. Sitting in it he gathers his harvest of wild rice, catches fish, steals upon his game, and dashes down the wildest rapids. To guide his cance through some dangerous eddy, to shoot some roaring waterfall is to be a brave and skilful Indian. "The birch bark canoe is exceedingly lizsht and gracefulâ€"so light that ons man can easily carry it on his shoulders overland when a waterfall obstructs his progressâ€"and as it only sinks five or six inches in the water, few places are too shallow for it. "The bark cf the birch tree, of which ] it is made, is less than a quarter of. an inch thick. Inside it is set a layer of thin wood,â€" over which are fastened a number of light bows to give it strengh and solidity. In this frail bark, which measures from twelve to fourteen feet in length and from two to five feet broad in the middle, the Indian aend his family travel over the innumâ€" erable lakes and rivers and the fur F:unter piursues his calling. An Important Part in History "In the life of the wilderness, the canos played an important part, and the halfbreed was a skilled rival of the Red man in its management. The North West Company, having its headâ€" quarters in Montreal, imported its enâ€" tire supplies into the country and exâ€" ported all the fur out of it in North canoes. Not less than ten brigades, each numbering twenty canoes, passed over the route during the summer months. The first part of the journey over the Great Lakes was made in canâ€" ces cof the largest size, exceeding the North canoe by several feet, besides beâ€" ing much broader and desper. These were, however too large and cumberâ€" soeme for travelling in the interiorâ€" where the cances go literally over hill and dale, requiring four men to carry them instead of two, as the Norih canvoe does, besides carrying twice as much cargo and requiring eight to ten voyageurs for their paddling. "The North canos was the ideal of the summer voyageur. What played an imâ€" poertant part in the fur trade, was a light craft broad, capable of containing a crew of eight and three passengers. Made entirely of birch bark, it was gaudily painted on bow and stern. In this craft the traveller swept swiftlly over long river reaches, the bright verâ€" milion painted paddles gleaming in the sunshine and the forests echoing back the boat song of the voyageur in full chorus. Brigade a Picturesque Sight "Those who have not ‘seen one can have but a faint idea of the picturesque effects of those passing canoe brigades. The voyageurs upon such occasion were attired in most bewildering apparel, ribbons and tassels streaming from their caps and garters. Nearing the landing, a spirit of competition would aâ€" rise as to who would arrive first,. The long canoes sped over the waters to the very edge of the wharf; then, as if by mazic, came suddenly to a pause. The paddles were rolled into the gunwale:s simultaneously, enveloping the men in a shower of spray as they shook the dripping water from their blades and climbed lightly from their seats. "But the cid cance life of the fur land has passed away. The Mackinâ€" aw boat, the Peterboro canoe and the "fAying machine" have taken the placs of the birch bark. The forests no longâ€" er ring with the voyageurs‘ boat song, while on many a once wellâ€"beaten pathâ€" way nothing can now be seen but a narrow trail over the portage." $0000800000000000000000000000000900000000000006086400¢66 20 22005001 4. 6. 5.
