Mr. Richardson stated that six or eight months ago the outlook for having the waterway development scheme started was not very roseate, but the recent Dominion election had put a different eontplek- ion on the matter, and as a result, he believed, this dishict was on the ere of seeing this dream come through. "Every man in this rom, unless he dies suddenly, will live to see work on the GeorgiatrBay ship canal, started and maybe eompleted," declared J. W. Richardson, president of the North Bay Board of Trade, at a meet- ing last week in the town hall to hear The International Bible Students have been advertising the phrase, "Millions now living will never diet."

After the sports the Club repaired to the Dominion Cale where a fine banquet was enjoyed. There were about 95 at.this banquet and everything was of the best and everybody had a good time. There were heppy speeches and a general pleasant evening. A feature ofrthe evening was the presentation to Me. D. Devine of a handsome pair of snow shoes. Mr. Devine is in full charge of the slide and the Club expressed the highest appreciation of his inter- est and effort. l Mr. Wm.

Ili, RIVER 1lllTlHNfllllT It does not seem reasonable that at this time of the year,.rnd with wen- ther such as prevailed here last week, that a hole should be cut in the thick ice of the river and then men and women enter the water and play around in the freezing river without suffering any discomfort or danger. Yet that is just what crowds of people here saw accur at the Mattagami Ri- ver on Saturday afternon last. The occasion was the demonstration of the "Ever Warm Suety%it." One of the demonstrptors donned the patent suit over hifordinary clothes, getting in to the “Ever Warm Safety Suit†in about twenty seconds, and deliber- ately jumping into the river. He stay- ed in the water for over half an hour and when he climbed out he was as dry physically as most men are spiri- tuullx‘these days, and he was as warm as tlurprqverlial toast. Further de- monstritiifn of the efficiency of the suit being given, Mrs. Fiss and her niece expressed a desire'to try it. They were quitkly fitted into the "Ever-Warm Safety Suits" and soon were safely a.nd comfortably in the freezing hater. They, too, emerged warm and dry, and astonished at this wonderful invention. some boys next tried the experiment and the result in each case, Was the same:-they were kept dry and warm andrudely afloat. The "'EverJWar.m Safety Suit" consists of a water-tight suit in which a row of specially filled cushions ab- solutely keeps the wearer afloat. The outside of the suit is a specially higlt- outside of the suit is a specially high: grade type of rubber that keeps out all water. An ingenious device makes the suit perfectly waterprodt' at the one point. where it closes together af- ter being put on. An elastic neek- band prevents the entrance of water around the neck. The filling of the pads that give buoyancy are of the cork type in so far as being unaffected by water is concerned. The demons- tration o Saturday fully justified the claims 'h the iNventor, Oscar A, Youngren that the Safety Suit gives absolt1ti-safety and protection, prea vents drowning, provides. against ex. posu-re, is simple in construction, easy to carry,"can be put on in less than a minute, keeps wearer afloat indefUrer) ly, warm and dry. It is in approved; use by the US. Navy, thed)hjpiting Board, the Red Cross, etc. It is '.s'tpt?- cially designed for the safety-of pas- sengers on ocean trips. On such trips the life belts are of very restricted service. Cold and exposure too often have shown the inelfieieney of former ldevices f..ior safety at sea. The "Ever.. Warm Safety Suit,' however, seems to fill the need. It is both sold outright or loaned on a rental basis,--N.00 for an ocean trip, which appears to be mighty eheap,insuranee for a sea voy- age. Itfis obtainable from steamship agencies and ofhes.s. For instance in Timmins when buying a steamship ticket from J. K. MooPe an additional $8.00 will secure the use of the Ever- Warm Safety Suit. Most of those' who saw the demonstration, here on Saturday think the use of this device should be made eompulsory on all oee- lan vessels. / There is also a "/hoortsn11i1/s" mo- del of this suit for the use of hunters, prospectors, ete. Over 200 witnessed the denionstra- tion here on Saturday. Rigs fro‘in Dalton 's Livery took the groups. to and from the river. All were greatly impressed. Among those seeing the demonstration were the Mayor and qo- veral members of the Couneil, Chief of Police Greer, lli'ire Chief 'Borland, the bank managers, professional men merchants and others, "as wal as a large number of ladies.

ANOTHER BIG FIND SAID TO BE MADE NEAR TASEOTA Reports are made of a. somewhat speetaeularHind recently in the Tasho, ta district. Rith samples from a new- ly-discovered vein " said to have been taken into 1,,l,h',', and shown there at the station. These samples. Show much free gold. As is usual with reports of this type, no further par- ticulars are available, either as to the location of the find or the prospector making the strike. At Elk Lake last week three child- ren met death in the hre which des- troyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jo.. seph Auger. The fire occurred at an early hour on Friday, morning. Mrs. Auger is so badly burned that it is feared that she may not recover. Mr. Auger works in the bush for the J. ll. Booth Company. He had lighted a flre before going out to work and had left all the drafts full on. It is thought that the pipes took five and then- the partitions became ablaze. Before the sleeping: family were awakened the five was beyond possibility on control. Mrs. Aug,er was 'badly burned in des- perate efforts to rescue her children. THREE CHILDREN DIE IN FIRE AT ELK LAKE MONTREAL PAPER TALKS ABOUT NORTH AFT-BR ELECTION The Montreal Star recently pro- minent in political wild-eat activities last wegk had the following wise words about Northern Ontario, and these words are published for what they may be worth, having no political significance. .The Star Stiys:--- "Nontrealers have ,been extremely conservative in their gold ventures and naturally they have not by any means all been successful. due of the dimeulties, is that the baneful infltt- ences of the wild tfatter affects the market for even" the good properties and in popular fancy the whole outfit is more or less of a wild gamble. "The position of such mines as the Hollinger, Dome and Mdntyre, with their proved areas and millions of re- serves aetually blocked out, ought to be reassuring but in popular fancy the good are discredited with the bad and all placed in the same category. “All this militatcs against the chance of new {properties being open- ed up and developed but in spite of this it seems entirely probable that there will be a good deal of attention paid to gold mining in the next few years. “That tremendous riches await the prospector and the miner is unq1tes- tioned in circles where the matter has received attention.
