Roads of the District Should be Snowploughed District Roads Should be Kept Open 11 would be a fine thing for the mines. the workers, the business interâ€" ests, for everybody, if the Dept. of Highways would see to the keeping open of the roads of the district this winter.. With the growth of the area, both. Timmins and Tisdale have about ail they can handle in the way of snowâ€" ploughing in sheir own municipalilies, There are a number of the newer mincs in Deloro and other unorganized townships. Employees at these mines in many cases live in Timmins, Schuâ€" macher or South Porcupinc and the keeping open of the roads is essential for them. Last year between the town and the township plows the rcads were kept opzn to the mines, but not only is there a greaver call on the municiâ€" palities, but there are also mor roads Keeping the roads open would not only help the miners and the mines, but it would also be of service to ber business, trucks being able. to handle much of this business in the winter time instead of the spring when the roads are not so well able to .bear the traffic. Keeping the roads open mcans more employment. That is of direct interâ€" est‘ to the government. There is anâ€" place where the keeping open of the roads is of very special interest to the governmentâ€"that is in the matâ€" ter of the gasoline tax. Indeed, chere are estimates made that suggest that the additional gasoline tax that would bs collected would more than pay for the cost of keeping open the roads. mm â€"an P P P P CCAE Ab Kecping Roads Open Would be Decided Advantage for Mines, Men, Business. Cost to Government Would hbe Offset by Additional Receipts from Gasoline Tax. The government looks after the keepâ€" ing open of the roads in cther unorâ€" ganized areas where the craffic warâ€" rants it. The Advance would like to sec the Dopt. of Highways bring one Of its snowplouzhs here and keep the rcads open this winter. It would be real serâ€" vice to the people and profivable in the end to the government:. First Schubert Choral Concert Delights All Vol. XXIIIL.

It is so far as known the first time that a mine has installed this type of stainless steel cage. ~Streamline trains have been made of this material but it appears that the Hollinger has led the way in utilizing this material for cage purposes, With the stainless steel there is 18 per cent. chrome and 8 per cent. nickel; It gives a maximum of strength with a miniâ€" mum of weight. With weight a factor, it compares very favorably with aluminum which weighs one third as much as steel. An aluminum cage of this size would weigh 8,400 pounds, while the weight of the stainless steel one is 9.307 pounds. The Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Co., Philadelphia, fabricated the cage and it was assembled in the Hollinger shops. It is all shotâ€"welded. It will hold 50 men,. One special feature is the safety dogs on the cage. Actual tests show that the cage can not drop more than three or four inches before the dogs work and stop it.

Scouth Porcupine, Dse. 15.â€"â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"The inquest took place this morning with F. C. Evans as coroner, Iinto the death of Clifford Noseworthy, the 15â€"yearâ€"old Timmins schoolboy who was killed on the T. N. O. Rallway at Golden on Monâ€" day morning. Jos. Young was the foreâ€" man of the jury. Evidence was given by Chief of Police Marshall of Golden City. The body was discovered by N. A. Perron who saw it badly mangled with one foot on the track, fifity feet north of Porcupine station. He notiâ€" fied Mr. Rotondo, section boss of the T. N. O., who phoned South Porâ€" cupine station to notify the coroner. Evidence was also given by W. Downey, trainman of No. 49. He was told chat the body was on the track, and he took his train through the siding so as not to disturb the body. Trainman on 415 were nctified at South Porcupine that the boy had been killed. They had not seen the boy and were unaware that there had been any accident, though 6 seemed that it was their that had caused the lad‘s death. Dr., Smith also gave evidence. He gave the cause of death and said that the bovy had been killed accidentally. Coroner Evans gave a very compreâ€" henslve review of the evidence. There had been no eyewlitnesses of the traâ€" gedy but the evidence suggested what had happened. The boy had been away from home for several days withâ€" out the parents having knowledge of the trip {aken by him. He was appatrâ€" ently on his way back home. Probably he had been on train 415 and had dropped from the freight when it reached Porcupine. He was carrying Toronto Star paper bag with some bread in it. The strap on this bag had been off, and it ssemed that when the lad was attempting to board the freight again to come home to Timâ€" mins, the bag had caught on something and dragged him under the wheels. The verdics of the jury was to the effect that the boy had come to his death on Monday, Dec. 12th, between 7 and 8 a.m. at Golden City, and that the desth was mrccidental, with no blame attached to anyone.
