TI‘ry This work of placing university unâ€" dergraduates in construction camps by Frontier College of Toronto has been going on for over thiry years. It is now under the able leadership of E. wW. Bradwin, M.A., Ph. D. During the thirty ye of Fronttier College, r Each man works, during the day, with the men and in the evening conâ€" ducts sclasses. This work is especially appre€iated by the foreignâ€"born worker in his destrecto Jearn English. ; A generous supply of méga.zines and books is placed at the disposal of the men in the camps. During last winter and this sumâ€" mer, fourteen university undergraduâ€" ates, under the direction of Frontier College, have been working with the men in the Transâ€"Canada Highway camps between North Bay and Chalk River. Reference was made last week to the holdâ€"up of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Hutâ€" ton, of Mount Bridges, while camping in the Temagami section of the Ferâ€" guson highway. A man with a gun took a small amount of money from the couple and then decamped with their car. On Tuesday of last week the car was found in the bush near Tomiko where it had been abandoned by the holdâ€"up man or men. The car and contents were found in good conâ€" dition, and there was even some gas left in the tank. in referring to the holdâ€"up in its last week‘s issue The New â€" Liskeard Bpeaker gives the interesting informaâ€" tion that Mr. and Mrs, Hutton were on their honeymoon at the time they were robbed. This makes the robbery the meaner. There may be a clue in this, for the police should know all of the very few in the North who would rob couple of their honeymoon. Few people in the North would be guilty of such a thing. There is some satisâ€" faction in knowing that the car was not taken out of the North. There have been a number of cars stolen in the North but pracically none have been permanently lost. Sooner or later they have been traced and recovered. Only an insignificent number have even succeeded in getting out of the North. FRONTIER COLLEGE MEN J. B.

In the introduction to the report it was noâ€" ted thatâ€" 72 men of the town had been passed as medically fit and were ready to depart on active service. There were many other applicatitons, some of them not examined and some not passâ€" ed. This was after a campaign of only about seven days to secure recruits for the Second Battalion of the Canaâ€" dian Field Pioneers. The banquet tendâ€" ered the departing soldiers was held in the Masonic hall. It was a notable event. ‘This much is very evident though a great part of the report in The Advance is marked as "continued on page three" and there in no page three available in the copy to hand. The banquet was staged in excellent fashion by the ladies of the Red Cross who made it one of tthe biggest events ever held in this part of the North. The list of those given by this old copy of tthe Advance as having taken The South Porcupine Oddfellows and the Township of Tisdale gave the boys going overseas a great sendâ€"off. There was luncheon and smoker in the Oddfellows hall, with addresses, music, etc. Hugh Boyle presided, and the speakers included Reeve E. G. Dickâ€" son, Lieut. Alex. Smith, H. N. Joy, John Whyte. All of these made noâ€" table speaches and roused much enâ€" thusiasm. "Every son I have has gone or will go in a few days," said Sylvester Kennedy," and if I were young I would be there myself." The Oddfellows presented safety razors to the many members of Porcupine Lodge going overseas, and the Township of Tisdal gave each soldier a wrist watch similar to that given by the Town of Timmins. Every move she has made has been for freedom. There was no other acâ€" tion but for the protection of the weak. She is in this war because a big bully in Europe thought he could domineer over Belgium but he had the Union Jack to fight before he could do it. I come from a race that has fought for the British flag for a thousand years, and I hope that everyone that belongs to me will be able to fight for another thousand years to keep her where she is. Boys, I would like to see a good crowd go from this North Country. It is not what we are going to get now. We do not get very well treated in this North Country, but we are going to fight till the war is over and after that we are going to change conditions in this North Country. But the struggle is now on and these little side issues have to do the same as the Irish didâ€"lie low." ! While packing up his household efâ€" fects to move away from Timmins, a friend of The Advance last week came across a part of a copy of The Adâ€" vance of Friday, Oct. 8th. 1915. The paper is yellowed with age; in fact an Irishman might say that it had gotten so yellow it was nearly red. There are only four pages in the part of the paper thus discovered, and there is consequently the tantalizing experâ€" ience of starting an article and readâ€" ing down to the line, "continued on page three," while pages 3, 4, 5 and 6 are gone. There is much of interest left, however, and to many the reproâ€" duction of glimpses of the town and district eighteen years ago will bring back treasured memories. ‘"‘applause" and "cheers," and it was quite evident that it was a heartâ€" stirring address. "Go back through the pages of history," said Mr. Kenâ€" nedy, "and find what Britain has done. The issue seems to be very largely taken up with references to the signing up of the Second Battalion of the Canadian Field Pioneers for service in the great war. There are reports of recruiting meetings at Timmins and South Porcupine. At the meeting at Bouth Porcupine there were speeches that stir the heart even toâ€"day when the war is far away. One of these adâ€" dresses was by Sylvester Kennedy. The crowd insisted on an address from him and eventually he responded. The report of his address is punctuated with Glances at Timmins Eighteen Years Ago Timmins Bids Farewell to Second Pioneer Batallion.

Robbins; general manager, showed a production of $149,935.04. The average grade of ore was $9.03, with working costs of $3.35 per ton. "That values obtained, in addition to running very high in gold, also carry a large percentage of copper." Local mining men were said to be interested in arranging for the financing of the Grassy River claims. In another item it was stated that a group of financial men interested in mining were in the Pierce though the propose would be an injury to the unfair.

The Advance eighteen years ago told of the opening up at Schumacher by the Porecupine Telephone Lines of an adequate switchboard and all other necessary facilities for handling the calls made to that centre, which preâ€" viously had been served only 'by party lines. "Two years ago," he writes, "I was suddenly taken with rheumatism all down my left arm. T tried many things â€"All to no purpose. I then comâ€" menced taking a halfâ€"teaspoanful of Kruschen Salts every morning, and soon felt benefit. My arm, which was painful and nearly useless, to my astonishment is now, after a few weeks‘ treatment, quite better. I am more than pleased, as I am a pianist, and playing made matters worse. 1 am just entering my 80th year, and am in good health."â€"G,. L A. The six mineral saits of Kruschen have a direct effect upon the whole bloodstream, neutralizing uric acid, which is the recognized cause of rheumatism. _ They also restore the climinating organs to proper working crder, and so prevent constipation, thereby checking the further formation of uric acid and other body poisons which undermine the health. mor and am in g s0â€"yearsâ€"old Pianist is Relieved by Kruschen it] ~1d age has not yet kept from his occupation as a umatism did threaten to do w, after a few lite better.

Mcâ€" Fadden Lumber Co. interests at Spragge, Ont., last week, when the saw mill, lath mill, residence of the postâ€" master, 6,000,0000 feet of lumber and the entire stock of laths were destroved. The prices to be paid compare favorâ€" ably with those paid by other railways for a similar product. Pleased With Inn George W. Lee, chairman of the T. and N.O. Commission, myself and the other members are pleased with the results in connecticn with the operation ‘of the ‘James Bay Inn‘ at Moosonee, the seaboard terminus of the T. and N. O. system. The excursions that have been run to that point in conjunction with the other have proven quite successful and have given the people of the other parts of Ontaris an opportunity to see, at a minimum of cost, the new seaport of the province. On severalweekâ€"ends this Summer the hotel and bungalows have been filled to capacity. "This district is one of the very best in the country for geese and ducks and as the season for shooting them has jJust opened, Moosonee and the adjoinâ€" ing district around James Bay should now prove particularly attractive to tourists and hunters."
