‘*Considerable progress has been made at Bass Lake during the last week or two of fine weather. _ The committee in charge had decided that the work could not be held up any longer by the continuance of high water in the lake, if any practical use of the site was to be made this year. With this in view a slight change has been made in the locating of the beach proper. The work of clearing and levelling about tenâ€"gecres, and the making of a suitable ball field, 150 feet by‘ 200 feet, is well under way. Clearing has been carried right to the shore line and the action of the water is forming an excellent ‘beach. Bath houses and out houses will it is exâ€" pected be finished this week. Seven men were at work during the past week on building, clearing and levelâ€" ling. Tourists and campers are alâ€" ready making use of Bass Lake. Durâ€" ing the week six Haileybury girls and two Cobalt boys have had tents up at the beach and were thoroughly enâ€" joving themselves." Cobalt is busy providing a camp for tourists and for citizens of the district. _ Following the example of New Liskeard, the tounists‘ camp is to be specially equipped, and special provision is also being made for bath houses, ball grounds, ‘beach, etc., for the pleasure of all. In referring to the matter last week, The Cobalt Northern News says : COBALT PROVIDING CAMP FOR TOURISTS AND PEOPLE (n Wednesday of last week A small boy on the track at North Cobalt brought the westbound Continental train to a stop. The boy was standâ€" ing between the rails watching a freight and did not notice the apâ€" proach of the Continental. Engineer Millman of the Continental noticed the boy and gave his heartfelt attenâ€" tion to stopping his big train in a hurry. _ He succeeded in doing so, thus saving the lad‘s life The boy got off the track just as the train came grinding to a halt. But for the engineer‘s quick and clever work, there would no dowbt have been anâ€" other inquest necessary. It may be perfectly true that there was nothing else conceivable for the engineer to do, and that any other engineer would do the same, but is it not also a fact that if all auto drivers were as careâ€" ful and as constantly anxious to save danger of accidents as the average engineer on a railway is, there would be far few motor crashes. Too often the motorists think all they need do is to blow their horns. If Engineer Millman had waited to Iblow his whisâ€" tle or ring his bell, the lad would unâ€" doubtedly have been caught. As it was, the small boy did not appear to be much excited over the very narrow escape, standing by the side of the track and watching with a sort of deâ€" tached interest as the ‘big train reâ€" sumed its journey to the North and West.

A sad drowning accident took place at North Cbalt on Sunday whén Cleâ€" ment Bulger, about four years of age, was drowned in a small ereek near his home at North Cobalt. The boy had been played on the log bridge above and in some way or another fell over into the water.

Roy Maxwell, director of the Provincial Air Service, who has just returned from a tour of inspecâ€" tion of the Northern Ontario outposts of the Provincial Air Service in which he covered over 2,500 miles of outpost territory and visited some of the remotest points of the province, has embodied the details gathered on his trip in a report telling of the work which the air service has accomâ€" plished in the past season in the proâ€" tection of northern forests from fires. One of the cases which he mentions tells of a pilot who had to deal with an Indian who set fire to a whole forâ€" est in order to kill a girl who had jilted him and the man who had supâ€" planted him in her affections. The jealous Indian trailed the eloping pair until they entered one of the forest regions in the Lake Savant country. Then he proceeded to methodically set fire to the whole area. Before the jobh was complete, one of the fire rangers in the district intervened and mzmawml to extinguish the fire, but could not capture the Indian. The criminal was traced to his camp by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and it remaimed for an Ontario air service pilot to fly into the wilds with a constable and make the arrest.
