The one this year, however, is expected to excel all previous ones. The prize list is being issued this week and shows a large array of prizes for all classes and deâ€" partments.

According to a despatch last week from Sudbury two prisoners escaped from Burwash industrial farm on Wednesday afternoon while working with the ‘‘bull gang‘"‘ tearing down an old barn. According to The Sudâ€" bury Star they are still at liberty. The pair making the break were Alâ€" bert Andrews and H. A. Delabarre, both serving two year terms for the theft of automobiles in Toronto. It is not known just how the prisoners made good their escape, but apparentâ€" ly they managed to reach the bush beâ€" fore being missed. Neither man was place convenient and commodious for the purpose. TWO MEN MAKE GETAWAY FROM BURWASH JAIL FARM a trusty but both had good records during the four months they served at the Industrial Farm. Andrews is 18 years of age, 5 feet 4 inches in height, weighs 128 pounds and had brown hair and eyes. Delabarre is 32 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyés. Both were wearing blue overalls and smocks when they escaped. Timmins Horticultural Society Expects the Show on Laâ€" bour Day This Year to be the Best Yet. Should be Big List of Entries in Garden Competition. Many Attracâ€" tive Specials. COAL DEALERS ARE FAMOUS FOR THEIR GOOD LUCK That coal dealers have special good luck seems to be accepted. In the first place they are lucky to ‘be coal dealers in a cold country. A Cobalt coal dealer had more than passing luck last week when he was dragged for a considerable distance between two spirited horses that were runnâ€" ing away, and yet he esceaped pracâ€" ticall unbhurt. The dray was upset, and byâ€"standers would have been willâ€" ing to wager their season‘s coal aâ€" gainst a ton of last year‘s ashes that There are other valuable special prizes offered. The prize lists will be ready in a few days and may be obtained from the secretaryâ€"treasurer Mr. T. A. Skelly. In regard to the garden competiâ€" tions, it may be said that entries should be made a few days before the event, as the judging of the gardens will take place previous to the show. All who visited the Timmins Hortiâ€" cultural show last year or the year before will remember the beauty and interest of the event. _ Those who have never before attended the show have this year another opportunity to see a striking array of flowers, plants, ete. There should be the greatest inâ€" terest not only among those interested flowers and plants, but also with the general public. At the present time Timmins has a really remarkable number of fine gardens, scores of them being in the ‘‘prize‘‘ elass. Accordingly, there should be an especially large entry list for the garden competitions, and the competition should be very keen. the driver could not avoid serious inâ€" jury. â€" When it was all over, however, the worst injury that he had was a stiff leg. At the time the accident occurred the dealer was delivering a load of coal. Moving his position on the dray when he saw the animals were frightened at something or anâ€" other, the dray upset and he was thrown over the front when the exâ€" cited horses started up. He managed to grab some of the harness and after about a block of very rapid movement he was able to pull up the animals and stop them. There was coal seattered A4ll over the street. NORTH BAY MAN HAS HIS TROUSERS STOLEN AWAY Tt is a mean trick indeed that the newspapers say was played on a North Bay man and his two friends at one of the tourist camps near Toronto last week. The story is to the effect that mean theives paid a visit to York Mills tourist camp in the early mornâ€" ing hours Thursday, and pilfered two tents, securing $61, two gold watches and two fountain pens. _ The occeuâ€" pants of one tent, Mr. and Mrs. H. Whitham, of North Bay, lost $42 and a fountain pen, while the occupants of the other tent, two teachers, D. J. McKnight and W. E. White, of Tusâ€" gashke, Saskatchewan, lost $19, their two gold watches and a fountain pen. In both instances the theives boldly entered the tent while the victims peacefully slept and carried off the three pairs of gentlemen‘s trousers. In the morning they were foreed to commence the day by a search for their trousers, which they found in the bush where they were thrown after being thoroughly gone through by the robbers. Cobalt, Aug. 9â€"(Special)â€"Govâ€" ernment Jliquor stores will be openâ€" ed in New Liskeard> Haileybury and Cobalt before the end of the present month, if the plans of the Control Board are carried out successfully. Locations have been made definitely in all three towns, and the stores will be ready for business ‘‘as fast as the carpenters can make the necessary changes,‘‘ in the words of Mr. Gillesâ€" pie, the representative of the board, who has been conducting the negotiaâ€" tions in this section. Two or three weeks, at most, ought to suffice. Mr. Gillespie thought, in this connection. Inâ€"Cobalt the showroom vacated by the Northern Auto Coâ€" has been finâ€" ally «hosen; in Haileybury, the baseâ€" ment of Assaf and Co.‘s store will be the place; in New Liskeard, premises occupied by N. Lafond, Whitewood avenue, have been secured. The final touch to the arrangements was made on Monday, and Mr. Gillespie anâ€" nounced before leaving Cobalt, that the work of making the desired alâ€" terations, with the erection of shelves and the installation of other equipâ€" ment will be commenced at oncee. A stock of liquor valued at approximateâ€" lhy $30,000, will be carried in the store ere. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, uNTARIO SITES SAID TO BE PICKED TOR THREE MORE STORES Mr. Gillespie, with George White, of the provincial architects office, who accompanied him North, visited Timâ€" mins, Cochrane and Iroquois Falls Prices on these hose are the same in all stores from coast to coast.

Thereâ€"was not the slightest question as to there havâ€" ing been a jolly row, but the question was one as to the chief aggressor. It was the claim of Eugene Collin that Ed. Duchomel had beaten him up at Booth‘s depot, Latechford. His Worâ€" ship decided the case was proved and fined Duchoumel $20 and costs, or 30 days. The defendant had been chargâ€" ed with common assault. Each man disclaimed having wanted. to serap and each blamed the other for startâ€" ing the battle. Collin maintained that Duchoumel had attacked him and that he had been forceed to lift the poker in selfâ€"defence, while the aceusâ€" ed held that Collin had been the agâ€" gressor with the poker, breaking a chair which the defendant had lifted stores over the weekâ€"end. There will be no store in Kirkland Lake meanâ€" time, and all officials spoken to agree there will have to be amendment to The Mining Act (the alternative is incorporation of Kirkland as a separâ€" ate town) before a shop could be opened there. Some action is looked for at the next session of the Legislaâ€" ture is it hinted. According to A. J. Kennedy, M. P. P., Englehart proâ€" bably will have a store at no distant date FOUR HUNDRED TRAVEL PERMITS AT LATCHFORD To protect the timber along the Ferguson highway from danger of fire and for other precautionary reasons a system of traved permits has been inaugurated by the Minister of Lands Forests. These permits are necesâ€" sary for those using the new trunk road between North Bay and Latehâ€" ford, this part of the highway passâ€" ing through the famous Temagami reâ€" serve. The permits are good for the season and may be used continuousâ€" ly. These permits are available at both North Bay and Latchford to acâ€" commodate the northbound and southâ€" bound traffic onf the road. As the perâ€" mits are for the season, the number of permits does not indicate the traffic on the road. At the some time it is interesting to not that last week reâ€" ports from Latchford were to the effect that approximately 400 permits had been issued at that point. This would indicate that four hundred cars from the North had made at least one trip to the south since the road openâ€" ed. An even larger number of perâ€" to protect his head. Collin, much the older man of the two, is caretaker at the depot, and he said the row started after Duchoumel had passed some reâ€" mark about filling his boots. Aceusâ€" ed swore anything he had said had been in fun, and that Collin appeared to have been in bad humour at the time. Thursday, August 11th, 1927 mits have been issued at the North Bay end suggesting that traffie from the south is evenâ€"greater than from the north. At Latchford all cars headed south are being stopped at the south end of the bridge over the Monâ€" treal river where Thomas Mackenzie and Herb, Prescott, fire rangers, inâ€" terview the men in charge and hand out the necessary slips. Sundays and Wednesday are proving the busiest days for the rangers, according to Mr. MacKenzie. â€" The men are on duty in spells from daylight to dark. No record is being kept of the total traffic over the Ferguson Highway and many drivers have secured perâ€" mits before reaching Latchford, this applying to tourists and othels from the south. ORILLIA ASKS CRUSADE TO VISIT THAT FAIR CITY. Iroquois Falls, Aug. 9â€"(Special)â€" An invitation has been received from the City of Orillia, extending the hosâ€" pitality of that municipality to the motorists in the Crusade from the North Country to the Canadian Naâ€" tional Exhibition at Toronto _ on September 6. According to the inviâ€" tation a reception is being arranged as well as other entertainment for the afternoon and evening of Sepâ€" tember 5. It is probable that Orillia will be made the assembling point for all cars from the North with the idea of leaving at the one time and invadâ€" in# Toronto in a body.
