EXTENSIOA Montractor Will be Required to Comâ€" plete Road by the End of 1923. €ochrane to 1922, and the eost is expe All this, of «C section as Aceording to despatches last week #rom Toronto, the T. & N. 0. Railway €ommission after a long eonferenceâ€" with the Drury Government, decided to eall at once for tenders for the eonstruction of the proposed 70â€"mnile extension of the Provincial Railway to Tin Can or Oil Can, on the road to James Bay. Contractors will be inâ€" vited to submit bids for the construeâ€" tion of the whole line, including ail preparatory work and everything enâ€" tering into the completed railway. Further, according to these Toronto despatches, Chairman Geo. W . Lee, of the T. & N.â€"0., said that tenders must be in by January 8th, 1922, and that the successful tenderer will be requirâ€" ed to complete the first 40 miles from €ochrane to the Abitibi by the end of 1922, and the whole line by 1923. The eost is expected to be $3,000,000.00. All this, of course, applies only to the section as far as ‘Oil \Can Portage some 70 miles from Cochrane.

Waterloo, Ontario. rest of the way, on to the Bay, is a different lay, or so they say, and many a day, will pass away, ere the line has sway, from Bay to Bay,â€"aw shutâ€"up. Still furtber Chairman Lee is creâ€" dited with saying that the new oxâ€" tension will open up one of the finest agricultural areas in the north counâ€" try, also great timber areas and alâ€" most unlimited water powers. It is estimated that at Tin Can Portaze where the present proposed extension is to stop for this time, there are waâ€" ter powers that may give 200000 horse power. In addition to the agricultural, timâ€" ber and water power possibilities of the territory to be served by the T. & N. 0. extension on to Oil Can, the adâ€" vocates of the extension also believe that some of the greatest gypsum deâ€" posits will be opened up, and that waâ€" ters of James Bay, open eight months in the year, will create a prosperous fishing industry. As to these things all in the North Land will very sinâ€" cerely ‘hope they are so, and even more s0. : At the conference in Toronto betâ€" ween the T. & N. O. Commission and the Government, it is understood that the electrification of the T. & N. O. Railway was discussed, but this is not likely to be more than considered and disceussed for some time. 2 Assurances in Force More Than $225,000,000 Assets Over $45,000,000 '\‘\-", hm \ah s s sxNmW PyX B ( rl I ces in td meal ie SULLIVAN & NEWTON General Agents @XM»â€"“‘? m&%&a s m T U aAZ | mt on J ‘"GOODLESS MEN®‘‘ AT THE NEW EMPIRE THIS WEEK For the first time in the history of this wellâ€"conducted theatre ‘*Goodliess Men‘* will have full swing at the New Empire Theatre on Friday and Saturâ€" day of this week.. After these two nights of ‘‘Goodless Men*‘" the theatre will no doubt go back to its record »f lawâ€"abiding gentlemen. ‘‘Goodless Men"‘‘ is quoted as the best sea preture ever made. Its plot is out of the ordinary, based on emoâ€" tions that go beyond love or hate. The chief character is ‘‘Black Pawl,"‘ a skipper hated and feared on the seven seas. His first mate is his son, ‘*Red Pawl,"‘ reared in hbatred and bitterâ€" ness, and like a wolfâ€"cub, awaiting his chance to overpower his father and take command himself. ~There is a terrible fist fight between father and son. The father wins but is struck down from behind; ;then come thrillâ€" ing scenes as the ship Jbattlee with storms and danger; and a climax not easily to be forgotten. Helene Chadâ€" wick takes the only woman character in the cast. The supporting east is a particularly strong one. Mr. D. Allen, of the Northern Onâ€" tario Light & Power Co., Cobalt, was a Timmins visitor last week. ONTARIO. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE MKR. BERTRAND AND 64 OTHERS TO LOSE DEPOSIT Mr. D. Bertrand, of South Poreuâ€" pine, who was an Independent Liberal Farmer candidate in Temiskaming at the late lamented Dominion election is not the only one to lose his deposit, though he loses by a somewhat larger majority than most of them. ‘The law requires that a candidate should reâ€" ceive at least one half of the totai vote cast for the successful candidate. Mr. Bertrand only polled about 150 votes, while the winning candidate in this riding received elose to 6000. Acâ€" cordingly (Mr. Bertrand will not get back the $200.00 that each candidate has to put up on nomination day. This money goes to the Crown, there being a special fund to receive it. iMr. Berâ€" trand‘s two hundred dollars will make a good showing, being chiefly in one and two dollar bills and other paper money of small denominations. And there will be many other $200.00 conâ€" tributfions, no less than 65 candidates losing their deposits in the Dominion in this election. Thus the treasury is enriched to the tune of $13,000.00. There were 19 Progressives, 18 Indeâ€" pendants, 12 Conservatives, 9 Labour, and 7 Liberals to lose their Teéposits through the small number of votes polled. The Crown Reserve are drilling on some claims in _ Township, Larder Lake area. At a special meeting of the Sudâ€" bury Board of Trade last week a reâ€" solution was passed requesting that Provincial Police Inspector Storie be retained with headquarters at Sadâ€" bury. As noted in last week‘s Adâ€" vance a reâ€"organization of the Proâ€" vincial Police ‘transfers Inspector Walter Moore, now of Cobait, and formely ‘of South Poreupine, to Sudâ€" bury with charge of the Provincial Police in Sudbury, Nipissing, Temisâ€" kaming, ‘Maoitoulin and Algoma, Insâ€" pector Storie going to another district with headquarters at Belleville. It is easy to see that the Sudbury people do not know Inspector Moore or they would be as anxious for him to go there as this part of the North Land is regretful to lose him. s uie i un s diamond MecVitiic 00000004 0000088 00400000000 0000000000000000000000009 06 #0000090000000000000000000000000066000000000000040 060 & @ iogl Nx c @09§0090900000000060900000900000000000000800000000006000 fil ©0000060000000000008000000000000900000008000000008660066 $29000800000000000000080000000000000090000080000 000# "4@ Opposite the Goldfields TIMMINS ROUVGH LUMEER REAL ESTATE & INSURANCE §IMMS & HOOKER WALLINGFORD BROS.
