Lifeguard Rescues Two from Drowning Shoved out into deep water by a chum, Walter Glisinski had a narrow escape from growning yesterday afterâ€" noon. Had it not been for the presence of Lifeguard Oscar Robertson, rescue might not have been possible. The inâ€" cident occurred about three o‘clock, when the beach at the Mattagami was crowded with people. Walter is about 25 years of age and lives at the O‘Conâ€" nor House, Schumacher. Emile Laroue, an 11â€"yearâ€"old lad who could> not swim, fell off a log into the river last Wednesday afternoon about 4.30 and was pulled to safety by the lifeguard.

Mr. Thomson is a speaker of ability with a notable record of inâ€" terest and service in the Kiwanis, so there will no doubt be an unusually large attendance of the local Kiwanis to greet him at the meeting in the Legion hall at 12.15 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 16th.

Apparently No Basis for Rumour Three Men Killed Rumours that three men had been killed at Connaught bridge on FPriday spread thrsugh the Timmins district like wildfire over the weekâ€"end. All the lurid details were passed on from one to ancther, but when politce came to check up on the story, it was found that it had no base whatever, so far as any official information went.â€" Neither provincial or Tisdale police knew anything of the alleged triple tragedy, there were no mangled bodies in any of the undertaking parlours of the district, nor was any American car brought into a district garage in a badly smashed condition.

Officials Un Structure red. _ No This Time The Department of Northern Develâ€" opment looks favourably on the suggesâ€" tion of W. O. Langdon, president of the Northern Ontario Associateq Boards of Trade, that a new road be constructâ€" ed from Hoyle to Matheson via Shilâ€" lington, it was learned this morning when Mr. Langdon received a letter from R.

Rainfall during the period was: Friâ€" day, .07 inches in light showers, eight to ten in the evening; Saturday ten to eleven in the evening, .02 inches. This morning from about three to eight, .13 inches of rain fell. The new road camnot be constmructâ€" ed this year, Mr. C Ca ipbell says, owing to lack of funds placed at the disposal of the department. He does promise a survey of the new route in the near future ang hints that the bridges over the Porcupine and Frederickhouse rivâ€" ers may be constructed on the new route, rather than on the present highway, thus making it possible to travel to Cochrane or Iroquois Falls in a somewhat less distance than at presâ€" <nt.

Langdon, Esq., President, Northern Ontario Associated Your letter of the 2nd instant to the Honourable Mr. HMHeenan has been reâ€" ferreg to this department, After following your letter and the plan of the district, it is noted that there is a great deal of merit in your recommendation. At the present time the road from Timmins to Porquis Junction is in a fairly satisfactory condition although, as you say, the bridges should be replaced across the Porcupine river and Frederickhouse river. The existing road from Matheson to Shillington to the Porquis Junctionâ€" Timrmhins road is in an uncompleted condition.

It will be impossible to undertake any improvéâ€" ment of the Mathesonâ€"Timmins road t the present time. It is the intention to have a survey made of the route you suggest. It is thought, however, that the present Porquis Junctionâ€"Timmins road will have to continue in use for several years. The dam proper is still in excellent condition, it isyreported, and shows not the slightest sign of "collapse." The direct traffic from Timmins to Iroquois Falls or Cochrane would, if the new location is accepted, pass from Hoyle between the first and second concessions of Matheson to the bounâ€" dary of German and Matheson and thence follow northerly to Connaught.
