Although the latter lost out, they put up a. good showing, especially in view of the fact that owing to rink trouble they had had no practice. “But if the weather has been un- favourable to outdoor sport the reverse has been the case with the work. Work has been carried on until now, of a nature that was not anticipated for this time of the year. Shallow gradLng work is still possible in places, and apart from the taps of hllls and some other spots, the frost has not entered deeply. The frozen crust is in many places no more than a few inchm deep, and then is of a more porous, spongy, nature than is usually the case in the winter. “Only at the camps where access can be had to lake or pond. has there been any skating. Yet even now a spell of cold weather would change the situa- tion considerably. and there would cer- tainly be keen competition for that cup. “The hockey enthusiasts, of whom there are a few or many in every camp on the highway, have had‘ them en- thusiasm for the making of rinks some- what, dulled by the continuously mild weather that has been experienced. way. ground, which is the task of most of the camps, involves considerable work, and that when this has to be done after supper and a day's work, and in the dark. the process is slow.

SIMPSON Ottawa Journal:»‘I‘he Dominion Bureau of Statistics points out that the general level of prices in Canada has decreased by 15 per cent. in the last two years. What about the argument that if you keep out foreign goods with tariffs domestic producers will send prices up? Mr. Bennett has been keep- ing out the foreign goodsâ€"as witness the decline in our importsâ€"yet here are prices dropping by 15 per cent. Is this jusr. one more economic theory gone wrong?

Sick men from diflerent parts of the line are being taken care of in the hospitals at North Bay, Mattawa and Pembroke. “In all, the highway construction un- dertaking may be said to be progress- ing steadily and favourably in all re~ spects.” “The camp services conducted by the representatives of three religious or- ganizations in the field, namely: the United Church of Canada, the Church Army (Anglican), and the Salvation Army, are very well attended and ap- preciated by the men. “There has been very little of seri- ous sickness in the camps. Colds have been prevalent but no more than else- where. What accidents have occurred have been mostly of a min-or character. Slight cuts and bruises, and injuries to feet from "being caught in the handling of rock and buelders. Lack of manual experience and skill is rcspansible for many of these slight mishaps. “The men in general are working well and are satisfied with their con- ditions. Some of a more restless na- ture may be tempted by the situation that they have now completed the necessary number of working days (nine), giving them the privilege of a reduced rate of railway fare back to the place from which they started. This is tempting a few here and there along the line to thrOW‘up their jobs. In so doing the loss is entirely their own as it causes no interference \with the operations; making them, indeed, easier and more economical to handle. “In camps fortunate enough to pos- sess good organizers for entertainment, some very pleasant times are spznt in the evenings and on Sundays. Con- certs and sing-sings. card tournaments, “The highway operations in general have settled down to a steady routine and progress is very satisfactory. N ct only has the work been advanced greatâ€" ly by the open weather but much more pleasant working conditions have reâ€" sulted for the men. 35 Third Avenue THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 2120 2529 2770 2955 2527 the Phone 944 COMPANY LIMITED :I N. 0.

Thrush, bempiel G. E. Nicholson, M.P., of Chapleau, is credited with having relayed the mes- sage to the curlers at Chapleau in re‘- gard to the supposed move from an amalgamation for a Northern Ontario Curling Association bonspiel at North Bay or Sudbury each year. North Bay club officials denied all knowledge of the idea. It was absolute news to the T. N. O. Curling Association. So there you are. A report from Chapleau on the ques- tion as p‘iblished by The North Bay Nugget reads as follows:â€" “The consolidation of all Northern Ontario “for one large bsnspiel." as proposed by the North Bay Curling As- At the Northern Ontario Curling As- sociation bonspiel held at Chapleau last week there was a report to the effect that the T. N. O. Curling Association or the North Bay Club or somebody somewhere was anxious for an All- Northern Ontario annual bonspiel to be held at North Bay or Sudbury. The curlers gathered at Chapleau credited the report to such an extent that the bonspiel programme for Thursday night was cancelled and preparations made for a conference that night with re- presentatives from the T. N. O. Curl- ing Association. The T. 8.: N. O. Curl- ing Association, however, had given no thought whatever to the idea. being a1- together too busy with the T. N. O. bonspiel at Timmins to have thought for anything else. When the matter was called 'to attention. it was remem- bered first of all that the plan ”of hav- ing a T. N. O. bonspiel has been re- markably’successfuil, there having been two remarkably good bonspiels already, one last year at New Liskeard and the one this year at Timmins. The old plan of taking in all Northern Ontario had been tried before and had not prov- ed nearly as successful. to put it midly. From the two years of its existence it would appear that the T. 85 N. O. Curl- ing Association idea is working unusu- ally well, and so far as can be learned no one concerned has thought of mak- ing a change. For instance, the only complaint against the bonspiel at Tim- mins this year was that the event ab- sorbed all thoughts of everything else, families, business, everything going by the boards for the week. but, of course. all this is a count in favour of the T. N. O. bsnspiel. There were nineteen visiting rinks at Timmins last week, while the Northern Curling Association bonspiel at Chap- leau last week had only six visiting rinks. The total number of rinks here was 38, while at Chapleau the total number of rinks entered was eighteen. Report at Chapieau About an All-Vor- them Ontario Bcnspiel Apparently Nothing but a Hoax. Installs set and connects it to your aerial and ground and gives you instruction on operation. Simpson’s Free Radio Service It may be added in regard to the reference to the dogs running the streets in Timmins years ago that times have changed since then, and the hap- py days of long ago can be no more than a memory. Timmins is a city in size and in its needs, and the day is long past when in either summer or winter the dogs can roam the town and own the town. It, is a fact that the general opinion is that the dag by- law is not enforced as strictly as it might be. The tendency is all to a closer check on dogs at large. This is a hardship to well-behaved dogs. but dog-owners are largely mponsible for “When we picked our Canadian Na- tional at North Bay we met up with an extra express 'car turned over to the dogs of Earl Bridges from the Pas. You will remember he raced his outfit in Timmins some years ago at the Por- cupine Dog Race. The team of Emil St. Goddard was also on the train, both of them being bound for Lake Placid and the racing there. In my talk with Bridges he said that the snappiest race he ever experienced-was that Timmins drive of some fifteen miles and a sprint from the start. It will be remembered that Martin just beat him cut. This. of course, took me back to the days that used to wereâ€"when the boy rarl hfs dog. and dog teams drove abou; town and there were no pounds. but the animals found in our North a charm of freedom. And I’m told that Timmins is evidently the only place of its size in Canada where a dog for whom you have a license has not the freedom of the city. It does seem at least in winter we might at this time give the animals a chance. Then, not content with meeting up with these two won- derful teams and their excellent driv- ers, who should I bump into at the Montreal depot but the Black Watch and Cameron Highlanders leaving for New York for the Memo-rial services. The Washingtonian had three special cars for the soldiers and their band. The customs inspectors did not disturb them, and I had a most refreshing visit. into the wee hours of the morning with this remarkable group of men. On the train also was another special cam bound for Lake Placid carrying the Canadian hockey team. They looked most picturesque, dressed as they were in typical sweaters and mackinaws. A fine looking husky bunch of men and keen as a lash. As for the weather, Tlmmins has it all. Montreal was ter- ribly cold. and New York a bunch of rain.” Says Timmins Has the Best of Weather C.

A letter from Vincent Woodbury this week from New York, on route for San Antonio, Texas, suggests that Tim- mins is the best place there is in many ways. The weather here, he suggests, has. them all beaten, at least till he gets to Texas. Montreal proved too cold, and New York too wet. In his letter Mr. Woodbury says:â€" Hon. Chas.
