Just at the present momen*t with the formal opening of the new townsite of Moosonee in the James Bay area last week, there is very special interest, in the district north of Cochrane through which the T. N. 0. now provides serâ€" vice. At the formal opening of the townsite and the driving of the last spikes in the railway on Friday last, the official addresses touched upon the history of Moosonee. In this regard the addresses by Hon. F‘. R. Latchford, Chief Justice of Ontario, and Hon. Geo. 8. Henry, Premier of Qntario, were particularly informative, but even these addresses did not deal as fully as an interestingly article in The Toronâ€" to Mail and Empire on Saturday last. The article was by Fred Williams who has become justly famous for his artiâ€" cles on historic subjects, these articles commencing, "Do You Know?" The following is Mr. Williams‘ Article with heading and all:â€" Moosonee is the Oldest Ontario DO YOU KNOW that when Premier Henry stood on the shores of James Bay yesterday and formally opened our provincial railway to tide water he was standing very close to the spot upâ€" on which Albanel, the Jesuit priest, stood 260 years before and "took posâ€" session" of the country in the name of the King of France? pedition of the LeMoynes in 1686. The elder Pierre, and his two sons, Tbhervilie and Charles, were asked by Governor Denonville to wrest the north from the English invaders. With about 100 men they tramped up the Ottawa on snowshoes, passed Lake Temiskamâ€" ing and crossed the height of land. When the ice moved from the northern rivers they made themselves birchbark canoes and set out on a quick raid on the bay. They fell upon Moose Factory "like a bolt of summer lightning" (to use the art phrase of Professor Chesâ€" ter Martin). Rupert House and Fort Albany fell in rapid succession and the Frenchmen returned to Quebec with the good news and a vast plunder of furs. Twentyâ€"two years before, however, the bay had been discovered by Henry Hudson, who wintered there in 1610â€"11, when he was set afloat in a small boat and sent to his death among the iceâ€" fields of the sea of the north. And 20 years after Hudson‘s death the bay was visited by Captain Thomas James, of Bristol, after whom it was named, so that there is a link between our northâ€" ern seaport and the great city in the west of England, the cradle of so many explorers and gallant seamen. The current belief that the bay was named after Prince James (later James ID) is not well founded. It was early in 1672 that the Hudâ€" son‘s Bay Company erected its first post on the bay and named it Moose Factory, because there came the Inâ€" dians from the interior who had a moose for their totem. Within a few months the knowledge of that fact had reached Quebecâ€"how, the historians 4o not tell us, but the Indians must have had some remarkably rapid mode of carrying news for such a thing to have happenedâ€"and Albanel went up to block the visitors and prevent the "invasion" of what was claimed as French territory. From that time on for nearly half a century England and France warred for yprssession Oof the bay. The English were handicapped by the fact that they were not woodsmen; they were as they are now, the world‘s best sailors, but in the landed wilderâ€" ness they were at a disadvantage as compared with the French. It was not until the signing of the treaty of Utrecht in 1713, that Hudâ€" son‘s Bay and James Bay became deâ€" finitely British. Since then the H.B.C. has held sway, far from the maddâ€" ing crowd. If your newspaper memory is good (which I‘ll bet it isn‘t) you will recall that The Mail and Empire of August 8, last year published a layout of pictures from Moose Factory,. which were in themselves a vision of history. They included the forge, erected in 1740, and therefore the oldest building in Ontario; a "true picture" of Capitain Thomas James: a volume of Johnson‘s dictionary, in use at the post since 1785; and two of the old guns which now roar out the news that the ice has broken in June, and which some people like to believe are those used in battle with the French in the seventeenth and early eightenth centuries; and of the Factory buildings, only 110 years Herb Tonic lifts you right out of your present state and makes you fit. The young can be filled with pep and ambition. The old made younger and the sick made well. This is illustrated by the daring exâ€" dition of the LeMoynes in 1686. The elder Pierre, and his two sons, erville and Charles, were asked by ! _ The special number is filled with exâ€" cellent articles on Empire trade written by men in authority. A brief article by E. Baliol Scott, editor of The Minâ€" ing Journal, London, England, should be of special interest in this part of the North. Mr. Scott is the editor of a journal nearly a hunded years old and enjoying the esteem and respect ‘ of large circles of readers for close to a _ Mr. Scott believes that the \Imperial Conference will aid mining !progress in Canada and so will beneâ€" fit not only this Dominion but the whole Empire. Mr. Seott‘s article in â€"full is as follows:â€" * 58 Maple St. South old, but built of native timber, as sound today as when first put together. And now one can board a sleeper at Toronto at night and be at Moosoâ€" nee in less than 36 hours later. Who can tell the potentialities of that atâ€" traction to the tourist? Not perhaps this year, but soon. Ontario‘s seaport will be the magnet which will draw thousands of visitors from all parts of the world. It is to be hoped that care will be taken to prevent looting; else many of the precious relies of the adâ€" venturous past may hbecome "souâ€" venirs." to turn up in a home far inâ€" land, perhaps in section whase people never heard of those gallant sailors and soldiers and fur traders whose ghosts must wonder as they see the steam enâ€" gine .and the palatial sleeper come where the canoe and the snowshoe long held sway. Will Aid Progress of Mining in Canada Editor of London, England, Mining Journal, Hundred Years Old, Looks to Notable Benefit from the Imperial Conference. With its usual enterprise and its inâ€" variable patriotic thought, The Toronto Globe has issued a special Imperial Conference number with the purpose of furthering Empire trade. In this excellent special number The Globe is simply following the policy that it has consistently advocated for many years. The Globe has been a leader in the Empire in urging the platform of preâ€" ferential trade within the Empire. There can be no question of the value of the special number issued in honour of the Imperial Conference which opens at Ottawa toâ€"day. Again, as so often before in its history, The Globe perâ€" forms a notable public service. "The task is great and the time is short, but, inspired with great ideals, and recognizing that individual sacriâ€" fices alone can achieve that general advance in which all will participate, we in Great Britain‘believe that if we approach the task with a common meaâ€" sure of goodâ€"will primary developments may be achieved upon which a new era in the progress of the Empire may be well and truly founded. "As the editor of a mining paper which has completed nearly 100 years of its existence, I feel naturally that it is the domain of the mineral indusâ€" try toâ€"dayâ€"the most primary and esâ€" sential form of human productivityâ€" that the greatest progress may be lookâ€" ed for. The immense advance which Canada has made in recent years as ‘"Throughout the world we see naâ€" tions beinig shaken to their foundation, and threatening disintegration, and even internal separation. The British Empire alone gives evidence of the deâ€" sire and possibility of coâ€"operation and closer union. "I learn with great pleasure of the deep» importance which is being atâ€" tached by Canadian public opinion to the success of the forthcoming Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa. a gold producer must command the attention of every one who is visiting the country for the conference. Gold is toâ€"day the one commodity of uniâ€" versal acceptance, and its primary imâ€" portance as the foundation of exchange and as the measure of international values coincides so remarkably with Canadian expansion in this field that whatever may be the measure of sucâ€" cess in other directions I believe that as an impulse to the recovery and deâ€" velopment of the Dominion mineral inâ€" dustry the conference will be an hisâ€" toric landmark." Every day and many times we hear the same story. Never Die Tonic fixed me. Iam a different person. We have yet to hear of one case where Never Die has not worked wonders.

If it doesn‘t VETERINARY sURGEON THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Timmins Moosonee Townsite and Its Prospects Ideally Situated for Townsite Purposes Level and Adaptable. Some Hisâ€" torical Notes, Buildings Under Way. _ Elegant Summer Hotel, Elsewhere in this issue will be fount a report of the formal opening of Mooâ€" sonee, the townsite that is the terminus at James Bay of the T. N. O. Railâ€" way. Particular reference to the townâ€" site itself may not be out of place. Moosonee is on the Moose River, three miles from Mission Island where Moose Factory is situated, and 186 miles from Cochrane. One of the speakers at the opening ceremony said that the famous explorer, Capt. James, first gave the name Moosonee to the territory on which he landed at James Bay, and that the naming of the new townsite is simply a revival of the original name for the area. The townsite is ideally situated, beâ€". ing perfectly level. At the same time it is on much higher level than the river by which it is built. This assures good drainage. There is a creek neatrâ€" by from which the town water supply is being secured. The soil is of the muskeg variety for three or four feet with rich loam below that. There is not a rock to be seen in the townsite. All of this means economy in the inâ€" stalation of waterworks and sewers. The town already has electric lights available. There is a handsome and well equipped station building of meâ€" dium size already erected. Other railâ€" way buildings are in course of erection. Streets have been laid out, Ferguson Road and Henry Boulevard being among the street names displayed. From the station to the river, a «disâ€" tance of threeâ€"quarters of a mile, there are board sidewalks on each side of the road. The cement foundation is alâ€" ready built for a Catholic church and work is proceeding on the construction of the: building. A. Chamandy, of Cochrane, has a frame store structure in use as a store building, with a largâ€" er store structure on the next lot nearâ€" ing completion. An enterprising barâ€" ber has also opened a tonsorial parlour in the new townsite. A gentleman, formerly resident in Ansonville, has alâ€" so pioneered in this far north town and on Friday last was busy selling candies, tobaccos, ice cream, and novelties. Then there is the Revillion Freres store, established these many years. Revilâ€" lion Freres and the Hudson‘s Bay store at Moose Factory both closed up on Friday last in honour of the historic ozcasion of the formal opening of Mooâ€" sonee. They opened for a short time for the convenience of the visitors. All the stores did well but would have done much better had they carried a larger variety of goods suitable for souvenirs. The visitors were very anxious to secure souvenirs, especially articles that were made in the locality. There was a big run on Indianâ€"made mocassins and fancy work. help you it won‘t cost you One Cent. Every bottle is sold with a positive guarantee to hely you, or your money refunded. A man told us toâ€"day that three botâ€" tles cured him of a bad stomach. Anâ€" other who had taken only one bottle said his rheumatism was going. NO matter what your trouble is you try Never Die. It drives the poison out, and brings sunshine into your life. Sold in Timmins at The Goldfield Drug Store and South Porcupine at Pearce sSons.

The Imperiai Bank of Canada, which has pioneered so many Oof the new camps of this North, has a branch at Moosonee. The bank premises are at the rear of the store building of the Revillion Freres, fur dealers and merâ€" chants. The visitors were particularly imâ€" pressed with the handsome and wellâ€" equipped hotel now nearing completion. It will be a T. N. O. hotel and will be under the management of the genial Jas. Kingston, noted in the North as an hotel man, and successfully conductâ€" ing hotels at Iroquois Falls and other centres in the North. Mr. Kingston is a genuine piloneer of the North and with his gifts as a host will prove the ideal manager for a hotel that will be close to ideal. The hotel is situated close to the bank of the Moose River. There is a natural lawn running from the hotel to the waters‘ edge. The hotel is deâ€" signed for tourist trade and will accomâ€" modate from twenty to thirty people. The intention is to provide cabin acâ€" commodation for any visitors for whom the hotel may not have room during the vacation, hunting or fishing seaâ€" sons. Not only is the hotel ideally situated on the bank of the Moose River, but the air and the view more than rival Temagami. The equipment and arâ€" rangement of the hotel and the finish of the building place it in a class by itself. There are eighteen bedrooms, all equipped with running water, elecâ€" trie light, and to be well furnished. There is a plenitude of baths, tollets, etc. A.feature of the large sitting room: is the quaint and attractive stone fireâ€" place. The sitting room is to be furâ€" nished with wicker furniture throughâ€" out, all richly upholstered. All the rooms in a upâ€"toâ€"date hotel,â€"dining room, kitchen, pantry, serving room, etc..â€"are here. A modern touch is given by the electric refrigerator built in. There is a remarkably fine beach at Moosonce, and canoes, motor boats and a passenger service are available. The T. N. O. has arranged number of boat tripts at remarkably low rates to various places along the coast. One of the landmarks at Moosonee that is sure to attract attention is the monument erected by Mr. McLean, of the Dominion Construction Co., to those who worked and died in the area durâ€" ing construction days. _ Reference is made to this elsewhere in this issue. It is expected that Moosonee will atâ€" tract much trade as tourist‘s paraâ€" dise. There is great bathing, boating, fishing, etc., available. One of the visitors last Friday, Aaron Sweet, of Ottawa, who in his seventy odd years, has battled in the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Baltic the North Sea, the Mediterâ€" ranean, and other of the waters of the globe, went swimming in Moose River last PFriday. He said the water was great. Dr. Paul Poisson, of Tescumseh, caught a trout, 24 lbs., fishing from the bank not far from the hotel. Moosonee is txpected to be the base for fishing fleets to operate in James and Hudson Bays. Game is also very plentiful in the Moosonee area, especially moose and deer, while ducks and geese are there by the hundreds of thousand on the islands of James Bay. Those who have faith in Moosonce look for it to be the centre to receive iron ore from the Balcher Islands and lignite coal from Onakawana, some sixâ€" ty miles away. Fire clay, china clay and other minerals are known to be available in the James Bay area. In addition it is thought that Moosonce will be the base for prospectors exrilorâ€" ing the country to the north where mineral wealth of many kinds is reâ€" ported by all who are in position to know. Another feature of interest during the day was the regatta enjoyed by Inâ€" dian competitors. There were keen contests, especially in the canoe races. The women appeared as good as the men in some of the canoe races. The dance on the bridge was a colourful affair. The music was supâ€" plied by three Indian fiddlers and anâ€" other native playing the Indian drum. Still another Indian "called Ooff" the dance steps in rhyming style. The Indians also played softball on the green below the hotel and showed themselves upâ€"toâ€"date in this modern sport. Friday was an ideal day at Moosonee. It was sunny and warm but a happy breeze kept the weather comifortable. There was not a mosquito or black fily noted, but there were apparently milâ€" lions of moose fiies The moose files are something on the style of hornets of them at Moose Factory, but some at other centres, while one lad said he had just returned from attending school at North Bay. The Indian woâ€" men carried their babies on their backs in Indian cradles, Indian fashion. The papooses attracted much attention from the visitors. Some of the women gave illustration of how they soothed the babies when fretful, by shaking the shoulders and hips, the baskets reâ€" sponding to the rhymthic motion and the child being comforted. When the dance started on the wide bridge to the hotel some of the women set the craâ€" dles upright on the ground and left them thus while they enjoyed the dance. One woman simply hung the basket or cradle on the branch of tree nearby. Moosonee was a busy place on FPriday last. In addition to the 150 visitors gathered for the driving of the spikes to mark the completion of the railway extension, there were fully 400 Indians, men, women and children assembling from Moose Factory and the other secâ€" tions of the district. In their picturâ€" esque costumes the Indians attracted much attention. There were hundreds of Indian children, all of whom were notable for their wellâ€"nourished ayâ€" pearance and their evident health and contentment.

He thought that someone in Kirkland Lake might have been apâ€" poached in the matter, but if so he knew nothing of it. However, to show that he has not cold feet or anything like that Pavich offers to fight Bussinâ€" eau at any time or place that may hbe arranged. "I would be ready to take him on with the plan of the winner taking all," say fPavich. ‘That, of course, is far from cold feet.â€" Pavich goes still further to show that it is not lack of courage that kept him awasy on the recent occasion referred to. He offers to take on Bussineau, or else here. There could be nothing ‘fairer than that. Recently a number of Cobalt peopic have taken down their houses in the "best old town of all," and moved the material to the Englehart district, where the houses were reâ€"erected on farms taken up there. The Cobat people referred to are thus "going back to the farm," and their enterprise and faith fairly entitle them to the large measure of success on the farm that all will wish them. E. C,.
