However, the trip that took two men two or three days of hard and dangerous travel could be done by airâ€" shiip in a few hours. In more recent years the airship concerns have also been able to greatly reduce charges, 1214 On A1nuUursday ia@ast 10or Englenart to play there but on account of rain that spoiled the grounds for ballâ€"playing, they turned back home at Porqulis Junction, it being necessary to postâ€" pone the game until better weather" Try The Advance Wiant Advertisenients was an ideal form of communication and transportation here. All of this has been proven by the years and the airship now seems fully established in the North with the chances for still greater advantage in years to come. At first the one great drawback to air transport was the cost, but this has been largely overcome. Considering the time, convenience, and the expense naturally represented by these things, transportation of and other freight Capt. Maxwell‘s craft has also proved of great value. When the work for the Dept. of Lands and Porests is completed, Capt. Maxwell expects to use his airship for freight and passenâ€" ger service. For instance, he has been engaged to take a party of New York engineers to Belcher Islands, a trip of 1000 miles in the air. The airship will also be used for conveying hunting parties to the far North where there is a regular paradise for the hunters of dukes and geese especially. It is unâ€" derstood that more than one group of hunters in Timmins district will take advantage of the opportunity offered by this airship for speedy transportaâ€" tion. Capt. Maxwe!l purposes doing a general passenger business this sumâ€" mer and fall through this part of the North Land, this craft being available for special trips‘"‘. Reading the above all will be impressed with the progress made in the air service of the North. There are now several important air services in this North and there is very considerable use made of the air form of transport. The prospectors have found it invaluable and for general use it has proved of material value in the development of the North. Capy. Maxâ€" well is still giving remarkably fine serâ€" vice to the North in the airship line, and to his pioneer work of ten years ago in this country there has been added a number of airship companies and pilots who are proving very valuâ€" able, indeed, to the North. Durii%} the war and immediately after, The Advance referred on many occasions to. the number of men from this area who had joined the air force. It was pointâ€". ed out that North Land men madei especially good airmen and that the airship seemed to be an indispensable form of transportation for the North. On account of the immense size of the. North it was argued that the airship. of transport. The prospectors found it invaluable and for gene it has proved of material value no n have fam{( ping the country, classifying the timâ€" ber, etc., and dropping engineers at various poaints to check up on the mapâ€" ping and classifying. In this work the airship under Capt. Maxwell has been strikingly effective and useful. In the goin public in gen ing lawns, ¢ between 6.30 and 6.30 and There was an interesting letter ton years ago in The Advance from Mss Olive Orr, of South Porcupine, who was the North Land candidate in a Sunday World contest, and wrote from on board the steamship, "Antonia" on her way to Europe for the trip won as a prize in the contest. Leaving Canada, Miss Orr wrote, the boat was delayed by fog and danger of icebergs, of which they saw several, The boat had to stand perfectly still from 8.30 one night until 4.30 the following morning. They celebrated the Fourth of July on board ship, there being a large number of United States citizens on board on their way to Europe. In a tugâ€"O0fâ€"war beâ€" tween the ladies of Canada and the United States, the fcrmer won. Miss Orr was one of the team representing Canada in this event on board ship. A menu card was sent by Miss Orr, this card showing the menu on board ship on one occasion, the name of each young lady on the Sunday World trip being used on this menu in describing the food. Ten years ago The Advance gave considerable space to the airship serâ€" vice provided for the North by the airâ€" ship station at Remi Lake near Kapusâ€" kasing. The machine at Remi Lake was a Vickers Viking in charge of Capt. wW. R. Maxwell who was then well known as an airman and who in the intervening Gdecade has added very largely to his fame in this line. After giving a description of the machine, which could be used to take on and off from either land or water, The Adâ€" vance referred to the good work being accomplished by Capt. Maxwell.
