Practical Motor Sled Being Demonstrated in Timmins Mr. Frank G. Horner, Formerly of Ruby, Alaska, Perfects Sleigh for Transporting Passengers and Goods over the Snow. Sleigh so Constructed That it is Not Damâ€" aged by Contact With Logs or Rocks. the ingenious machine has been put on exhibition in Timmins where its adâ€" vantages may be studied by any inâ€" terested.. For winter travel through the outlying sections of the North it would seem to be a useful and beneâ€" ficial invention.
