One of these in natural colors, and about 20 by 10 feet in size, shows Monnt Robson, the highest in the Rockies, reaching as it does an altitude of 13,069 feet. With Robson occupying the centre of the picture and flanked on either side by subordinate mountains and the foot of its glacier washed by a deep blue lake, the scene is not one to be forâ€" wotten. The other picture has a map of the world as its centre, while l‘afinmd it, sailing upon a blue sea, are the steamers of the Canadian Merâ€" Directly in the centre of the pmicâ€" ture is a bright, blank aluminumâ€"surâ€" faeed sheet on which movie pictures of Canada from coast to coast are thrown as a leeturer carries visitors aeross the vast Dominion. _Appropriately grouped in the cenâ€" tre of the picture between the scenes depicting , the Pacifiec and Atlantic Coast are large paintings representing éach ofâ€"the nine Provinces. A forest of giant trees depicts the lumbering resources of British Columbia. A vast herd of sheep grazing upon the praiâ€" rie is emblematical of Alberta. Standâ€" ing sheaves of wheat, with fields and elevators in the background,; repreâ€" sents Saskatchewan. The Fort Garry Hotel, standing near the remaining seetion of old Fort Garry, indicates the growth of Manitoba. A magniâ€" Reent painting of Niagara Falls is inâ€" dicative of the resources of Ontario in hydroâ€"electric power. A striking pieture of the Citadel of Quebee, with the river at its feet bosomed with vesâ€" sels, represents the Province of Queâ€" hee. A river, Hanked by rich verdure and earrying logs down steam to mills represents the lumber industry of New Brunswick. A harbor scene, with vessels moored at a dock, represents _gn: maritime resources of Nova Seoâ€" ; while a rich pastoral seene aptly depiets Prince Edward Island, the ‘*Garden of the Gulf."‘ HATIGNAL RAILWAYS : -;If"tbere is any single exhilit at this year‘s Canadian National Exhibition that will prove to he a Mecea to visitâ€" ors, it is that of the Canadian Naâ€" tional Grand Trunk Railways. Both from the standpoint of interest that it will excite and the wide knowledge it will disseminate the exhibit is of Butstanding importance, The exhibit occupies two of the large cireular rooms in the Railway Building. As the,display in each room is fundamentally different, each has, of course, its own particular feature. »Canada‘s National Way The large cireular room at the northwest angle of the building is deâ€" voted to one particular purpose: the conveyir(;: to visitors a conception of the extent and importance of Canâ€" ada‘s ‘‘Great National Highway,‘"‘ with its 22,375 amiles of steel rails, and an ocular demonstration of the vastness of the country and the rich resources peculiar to each of the nine w wz mqm and Instructive Exhibit Deâ€" picting Extent of Governmentâ€" Owned System. Provinces of the Dominion. The proâ€" ¥é#ion made for attaining this twoâ€" fold object is both unique and elaborâ€" ate. At the other, or western, end of the picture is depicted the Atlantic coast from south of New York to Labrador. lHudsun ‘s Bay, with its various feedâ€" ing streams, stands out in bold relief. So, in a modified way, do the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence and other important rivers of the area covered by the picture. Standing out in bold relief, in red, are the gridiron of railâ€" ways owned and operated in Eastern and Middle Canada by the Canadian National Railwaysâ€"the largest single system in the world, and the only sysâ€" tem whose lines run wholly through the Dominion from coast to coast. The location of the principal cities is also shown. . y Skirting in cireular form about two thirds of the room is a painting nearâ€" ly a hundred feet in width by nearly twenty feet in height. On the left, or eastetn side, as the visitor enters, is depicted a section of the Pacific coast extending from south of Portland, Ore., to north of Prince Rupert, while its view inland extends well into the prairie country. Within this area are shown the location of the principal cities, rivers, lakes and that vast range of mountains stretching eastâ€" ward some 400 miles. There is also shown in heavy red lines the various routes of th&®Wanadian National Railâ€" ways System operating in that part of the Country. AT THE FAIR Mr. and Mrs. R. H.

During the day the Timmins Band furnished a lot of very pleasing band musie, and with the Iroquois Falls Band, kept the muâ€" sicâ€"loving folks of the musicâ€"loving district well pleased all day. In the evening an open air band concert by the combined bands of Iroquois Falls and Timmins was an enjoyable feaâ€" ture of the day. On the way back to Timmins, the Timmins Band delighted the crowd waiting at Porquis Juncetion by a genâ€" erous supply of good band music that was much appreciated. TIMMINS BAND MAKES A HIT AT IROQUOIS FALLS Apparently the fire started in Mr. Gagne‘s stable. ‘The eause is not known, but there is a suspicion that some youngsters in the barn may have been responsible, â€"through cigarette smoking or playing with matches. The fire gutted the horse stable, seorâ€" ched the automobile, injured the garâ€" age, burned a shed at the rear (at 35 Maple street), slightly seorched Mr. Leblane‘s house and the house owned by ‘Mr. H. E. Montgomery on Second Avenue. Mr. Gagne‘s loss will run four or five hundred dollars, with no insurance, and the total loss through this Sunday fire will be about $700.00 or $800.00. ‘P.S.â€"The Provineial Police will not prosecute the firemen for working on Sundav. i William. In the foreground is a model of the Canadian National Railways elevator, the original of which has a eapacity of ten million bushelsâ€"the largest in the world. At this elevator a vessel is in the act of being loaded, while, in order to inecrease the realism of the seene, trains and steamers, by a mechanical\~device, are kept in moâ€" tion. Another section has elaborate displays, in huge glass jars, of a full range of Canadian fruits, while hangâ€" ing in the background are transparâ€" ent scenes of various phases of Canâ€" nadian life, Aeross the room from this display is a large section devoted to exhibits of Canadian wild animals of practically all kinds, while in the background is a picture of heroie size of the famous Algonquin Provincial Park and game reserve. . On the westâ€" ern wall, covering 40 by 18 feet of space, is a topical map of Canada from coast to eoast, and showing not only the main and branch lines of the Canadian National System, but the principal cities and towns. The letters showing the prineipal towns are autoâ€" matically brought into bold relief by an ingenious electric device. FIRES BRIGADE MAKES A GOOD STOP OF LIVELY FIRE. ] srstem 0 CARD OF THANKS rt Arthur and Fort weground is a model National Railways In looking at Monday‘s game, it must not ‘be forgotten there is still a game to play to finish the ‘League, with the probability of home and home games with Timmins to settle the championship. _ The big question is, ‘*What are we going to do about it?"‘ There is ‘no doubt that some changes will have to be made before we next meet Timmins, or the results will be disastrous. It is understood that the Baseball Commission has the matter under advisement, and that an announcement can be expected in a few days. AlM sorts of exceuses can be made, and some of them very plausible exâ€" euses, but when you come down to hard pan, the reason Timmins won was that they played better ball. All the faults on our team were not in the field. There were some errors which were eostly, but there were errors also in management that certainly hurt the chances of the team. _ Bousquet, for instance was caught on the way to second by two coaechers giving directâ€" ly opposite instruetions. There has hbeen eonsiderable aritiâ€" cism of the change of pitehers, some of which is justified, and some of it is not. $ IROQUOIS FALLS VIEW ON THE LABOUR DAY GAME All concerned should make particuâ€" lar note of the recent amendment to the ‘School Attendance Act, special notice having been sent in the past few weeks by the Dept. of Education to all police officers and peaee officers regarding the matter. The Act now provides that all children must attend school up to the age of 14 years and that from 14 to 16 they must also atâ€" tend school unless they have a certiâ€" ficate from the proper authorities that they have to go to work to support their families. The authorities will not interfere with ehildren of 14 work ing this summer, but from now on all who are not compelled to work from necessities at home must observe the law in regard to school attendance. The following frank opinion ecurrent issue of ITroquois Falls paper regarding the Timmins Cochrane team will win from both [roquois Falls and Timmins, but with a classy team like Cochrane has it is by no means impossible. The average opinion, however, is that the matter will resolve itself into the old friendâ€" ly rivalry in baseball between Timâ€" mins and the Falls. In case of both teams winning again from Cochrane, there will be two great baseball games for the next week. 10â€"8, 6â€"3 O‘ Halloran beat Dickson pine, 6â€"0, 8â€"6 ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL C COMPULSORY TO 16 YEARS. Timmnis is scheduled to play Coâ€" chrane at Cochrane toâ€"day, Sept. Tth. Iroquois Falls plays Cochrane at the Falls on Saturday, Sept. 10th. â€"If Coâ€" chrane loses both these games Timâ€" mins and the Falls will be tied in the District League, just as they are now, and playâ€"off games will be required. Should this be the situation Iroquois Falls will play at Timmins \on Sept. 14th. (next Wednesday) and Timmins will play at Iroquois Falls the followâ€" ing Saturday, the 17th. If each team wins one of these games a third one will be necessary. The date for this deciding game has not yet been decidâ€" ed upon. It may not be necessary. Of course further games than the two with Cochrane may not be necessâ€" ary at that. If Cochrane wins from either the Falls or Timmins then the loser of such a game will be out of the running. If, on the other hand, Cochâ€" rane slhouldâ€"win ‘both games, then Timmins and the Falls will still be tied.
