It is the intention to finish this strip of highâ€" way with tarvia, a type of patented macadam, finish that has given great satisfaction elsewheére. It is underâ€" stood that it is the intention further of the Government to make the whole strip of highway from Timmins to Iroquois Falls with this tarvia top finish. Of course all this can hardly be done this year, but the strip from Timmins to Bouth End is to be comâ€" pleted, work to be commenced imm diately.

WANTON DAMAGE DONE TO AUTO IN RAILROAD CAR A ‘handsome neéw Nash Sedan was wantonly and senselessly damaged beâ€" fore it could be removed from the railroad car which brought it here last week. The railroad car was run down the track to be out of the way until it could be unloaded. During the night some person or persons broke the seal of the car and entered it. The headâ€" lights of the car were apparently doliâ€" Derately smashed in and other damage done, as well as nasty scratches being made on the body of the new auto. It will cost fully $100.00 to replace the damaged parta, but it is not the actual loss so much as the wanton and almost idiotic destruction that is so startling about the case. The new Sedan was one purchased recenth by Dr. Mceâ€" Innis. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE * ~ TIMMINS AA.A.
