FOSTER AT TORONTO LAST WEEK Friends in Timmins and the North Land generally learned with very sincere regret of the death at his resâ€" idence, 18 Eastmount Avenue, Torâ€" onto, on Wednesday of Jlast week, of Mr. T. Wilfrid Foster, one of those who assisted in the pioneering of this North Land. The late Mr. Fosâ€" ter was a resident of the North for many years in the early days and was widely known and highly esteemed by all.. In partnership witk the late W. H.

He said that some twenty men had nerished in a bush fire up the river, and he had only managed to escape with some difficulty.. In proof of this story he had a badly burned face to exhibit, as well as injuries to his hands and head. He looked as if he had been through a bad fire all right, and those who saw him and heard the story were quite ready naturally to believe the account. In a few hours the story came to the ears of the Chief Fire Ranger, Mr. Geo. Woodâ€" cock, who at once investigated. The doubts he had regarding the tale were soon ‘confirmed. It proved one of those imaginative creations where the basis of fact has little eonnection with the finished yarn. There had not been a single man injured by a bush fire. The young fellow lumaelt, desâ€" pite his damaged face, had not been near a bush fire. ‘The truth was that he had been working as cookee at one of the Boivin camps and attempting to use oil for the quicketr lighting of a store he met with a common misâ€" hap following such performance. The oil flared up burning the lad about the face and head. He then ‘‘beat it‘‘ to town, and apparently found the story about the narrow escape from the bush fire more heroie than the warm truth would have been. ~The Chief Fire Ranger said he was deâ€" lighted that, just as he expected, the story was untrue, but it was just such yarns as this that added to the cares and work of the authorities. They could not afford to take the chance of ignoring even‘ wild stories that concerned their work, but at (‘the same time anxiety and trouble was caused by such yarns as the one in question. directors additional paien has tension property . le WOrs Wiii D€ done by the Dominion Diamond Drilâ€" ling Co, Aceording to the statement of Supt.

The superintendent‘s report suggested that work underground on the Extension has proven highly satâ€" isfactory and that it was very probâ€" able that the Dome would exereise its option and take over the property in the next three months. The plant and property of â€"the Three Nations Mine in Whitney Township is offered for sale, ‘There has been only a small amount of work done on this property which is about half a mile south east of the Keora. The oldâ€"timers had a good opinion of the Three Nationsâ€" property, and exâ€" press the opinion now that it never had a fair chancee to show what is in it.

Miss Laut referred to the wealth of resources of the North Land, emphasizing the prospects for large oil deposits in the far north. Theâ€"plan of Mr. Geo, Smith for a highway â€" from _ Timmins, Iroquois Falls and Cochrane to North Bay to connect up with the south was very heartily endorsed. _ To provide the necessary dfinances (Mr. Smith‘s plan was that the Government appoint a commission of North Land men to whom a number of townships would be transferred and the timber thereâ€" on sold under restrictions, methods at the same time hbeing used to proâ€" videâ€"adequate reforestation. A strong committee with Mr. Smith as conâ€" venor and representing all the muniâ€" cipalities in the North Land was apâ€" pointed to get the details into shape and go to Toronto and lay the matâ€" ter very strongly before the Governâ€" ment. All were in the firmest favour of the â€"proposed highway, but there were alternate methods of financing proposed. _ Mr. Smith‘s plan was one way that madeâ€" special appeal to many. Another proposal was _ that the surplus timber in Algonquin Park be cut before it goes to waste and the proceeds used for the highway.
