The matter of a tourist camp for Timmins has been advocated by The Advance for a year or more now. The town needs accommodation for the many tourists coming in here, and when the belt line of roads is comâ€" pleted the need will be still greater. The town of New Liskeard has shown modation for tourists. Other towns in the North have also taken up the problem and ,unless the town of Timâ€" mins wishes to be more or less squeezâ€"; ed off the map early steps should be taken to meet the need. Citizens with | ideas along this line should attend the Board of Trade meeting on Friday evening this week. Those opposed to the providing of the tourists camp (ifi there are any opposed) should be on | hand to explain their standpoint. All citizens, no matter what their atti-‘ tude, should take advantage of the opâ€"| portunity provided by the Board of | Trade for getting their views before| the public and for assisting with the | value of their opinions and ideas. | a model method of providing accomâ€"| | | Other questions will be before the Board of Trade meeting on Friday of this week, and there should be a large attendance of business men and all others interested in the welfare and advancement of the town. Canadian Ticket Agents to Hold Convention at Timmins Timmins is being honoured this year by the visits here of many imâ€" portant groups and parties and from these visits the town no doubt receives much valuable publicity. One of the most important of these groups of visitors, and one that will no doubt have favourable reactions for Timâ€" mins is the announced visit here of the Canadian Ticket Agents‘ Assocâ€" tion. â€" This association has arranged to hold its 42nd anuual convention at Timmins, Ont., which may be conâ€" sidered as a distinct honour to the town and one more indication of the recognition of the importance of Timmins. The Canadian Ticket Agents‘ Association will assemble at Toronto on Sept. 17th and proceed to Timmins for the convention on Sept. 18th and 19th. There will be seventyâ€" five in the party, the number includâ€" ing agents of the several railways in the eastern part of Canada. A special train will bring the delegates to Timâ€" mins for the convention, the comfort and convenience of the party being looked after in its usual effective and pleasing way by the Canadian Naâ€" tional Railways. The number of tourists coming in to Timmins during the past few weeks has impressed upon the people here the very evident necessity for the establishment ° here of a â€" tourists camp. This is one of the questions to be taken up at a meeting of the Timmins Board of Trade to be held in the town â€" hall tomorrow (Friday) evening at 8 o‘clock. Meeting Called for Friday Evening of This Week to Discuss This and Other Important Matters. Fortyâ€"Second Annual Gathering to be Held Here on Sept. 18th and 19th.

The time now is short and all should assist in the perfecting of plans for the suceess of the year‘s horticultural show, The 200â€"yard race was won by D Brown, with H. Garner second, thus making this event an allâ€"round Timâ€" mins victory. trict passenger agent for the Canaâ€" dian National, was in Timmins this week in connection with the arrangeâ€" ments for the econvention. Mr. Burch is looking after the hotel accommoâ€" dation end, which is a problem here on account of ine hotels in town and the fact that they are usually crowded with the normal business of the town. Mr. A. M. Hare, the energetic seeâ€" retaryâ€"treasurer of the Canadian Ticket Agents‘ Association, is looking after the general arrangements for the convention, while in the more local arrangements Mr. A. J. Pare, district freight and passenger agent for the T.

While in Timmins it is expected that the delegates will be taken through the Hollinger Mine. The Canadian Ticket Agents‘ Asâ€" sociation is an important body, having a large membership of men of specialâ€" ly high standing. It is not often that a town like Timmins has opportunity to entertain such a «onvention, and there will be general hope that all the delegates will find their visit here agreeable and that they will carry away the best impressions of this centre.

The Herald said:â€"Traces of Andy Taylor, the Ontario prospector who has ibeen missing since June 28th, have been discovered at Burntwood Lake, 60 miles east of Cold Lake and some 40 or 50 miles from where he was camped when he was lost. The information was brought in to Putaâ€" tawagan by two Indians and from there word was sent to Cold Lake. Another search party was at onee orâ€" ganized and left for Burntwood Lake by plane. _ According to the story brought down by the Indians, Taylor had struck the old Hudson‘s Bay trading post at Burntwood Lake. There he found a volunteer erop of potatoes growing and had managed to live fairly well off them. He wrote Kirkland Lake Here Aug. 2ist and 22nd.. . McIntyre at Kirkland Lake, Aug. 28th and 29th.

Knowing how good a man Mr. Taylor was in the bush and how little given he was to panie or undue excitement, and also his strong constitution, good F health and ready resource, Mrs. Tayâ€" lor has been confident that her hus-: _of Mr. Taylor after being lost for 42 band would eventually be found unâ€" less he had suffered some injury that would render him helpless. Although precedent and logie were against it, her faith has fully been â€" justified. Mr. Taylor has, perhaps, set a record that will never be equalled for susâ€" taining himself while lost in the bush in new country for fortyvâ€"two days. ~sation From . the information received trom the West, Mr. Taylor was in fair condition when found. He is at presâ€" ent in the hospital, but apparently is in no danger, despite his remarkable experience and the anxiety and hardâ€" ship he has undergone. Late news ta Mrs. Taylor at South Poreupine is to the effect that she hasn‘t any cause for worry, and that her husband is both safe and ‘being well caredâ€"for and that it will be only a day or two until she will hear from him. The remarkable fact of the safety days is the general topic of converâ€" here. There is very general rejoicing that Andy should ‘be safe and much surmise as to how he manâ€" aged to bear the hard time he must surely have endured for over forty days and nights.

There are only two more games to be played to settle the P.D.F,L. championship. The first of these two games is this (Thursday) evening at Timmins when the Holly Rees play the McIntyres. The Melnâ€" tyres are out of the running, so far as place is concerned, as they can not win the honours at either end. The Cornish, as will be noted in another column of this issue, have the wooden spoon for being first counting backâ€" wards, while either the Dome or the Holly Rees will win the P.D.F.L championship proper. _ The Holly Rees have to win both games to reach the coveted place while the Dome has only the one game to play and win to be the head of the league. _ Alâ€" though the Melntyres have no chance they may be depended upon to put up Taylor‘s has said in the last day or so, ‘‘he certainly will have an interâ€" esting story to tell when he has reâ€" covered sufficiently to recount his exâ€" periences.‘‘ HDLLY RECS.

The match for that occasion is the Dome vs. the Holly Rees, the match to be played at the Dome. A win for the Dome gives that good team the championship of the P.D.L.F. With two good teams like the Holly Rees and the Dome, the feature on Thursday of next week should be a good one. MR. D.
