A neighbour named Robinson made the gruesome discovery. . The unfortun, ate man, Fileault, had apparently been dead about two or three days. He was a man between 45 and 50 years of age. Kileault, who has reâ€" sided in the district for many years, is said to have owned‘a farm in Truax township, where he lived for some years with a comrade named Babbingâ€" ton. The men separated some time ago, and Fileault secured a job with Tariault, his duty being to look after the farm and cattle during the winâ€" ter in return for his board. Recently Fileault had been sick and was known to suffer with heart trouble. Owing ‘to this fact a ‘.ecighbour named Robinâ€" son, or some of his family, generally visited Tariault‘s farm each day, but owing to the heavy fall of snow last weekâ€"end no one was able to do so for two or three days. 3 New Liskeard Speaker:â€"More seltâ€" denial now is in order that we may have more selfâ€"indulgence later on.

Says Miners Were ‘‘Entombed in Ring of Flame‘‘ o Evidently some of the Old Country newspapers were as badly twisted and mixed in regard to the details of the disaster as the Toronto journels and some others in this country appeared to be. A friends of The Advance at South Porcupine sends this‘ paper clipping from ‘The Sunday Chronicle, published at London, England. ‘This clipping has the headmg, ‘*Fight for Lives of 47 Men,‘‘ with the subâ€" heads, ‘‘Miners Entombed in a hmg of Flame,"‘ and * Blast in Pit."‘ The article is headed as from ‘‘Our Own Correspondent‘‘ at Torouto, and some of the inferences to hbe drawn from the despatch would be amusing, if the matter ‘had not been so serious a one.. The suggestion that Timmins is is a farâ€" fetched one even for this country of large‘ distances. Also, to call Timâ€" mins ‘‘a little mining town‘‘ is searceâ€" ly to flatter the truth. _ There are many othér errors, omissions, and adâ€" ditions to ‘the facts. Indeed, it is reâ€" markable how people can gather so many wrong impressions in so brief a space. S ue a Here is the despatch from The Sunâ€" day Chronicle as it appeared, under the date line, ‘‘Toronto, Saturday‘‘: ‘*‘Fortyâ€"seven miners are entombed in a cirele of flame at the Hollinger Mine at Timmins, near here, after a poison gas explosion underground. . < _ Hollinger Mine is the third largest gold mine in the world..

The next meeting of this Associaâ€" tion will be held in Timmins on March 7th and 8th, 1928. Delegates will arrive in Timmins during the afternoon and evening of the 7th and the Timmins Board of Trade and Curling Club have invited the visitors to display their skill at the rink during the course of the evenâ€" ing, Wednesday, March Tth. Thursday, March 8th, will be devotâ€" ed to the business of the gathering. Two sessons will be held, one comâ€" mencing at 9.30 a.m. and one at 2 p.m. Several matters of. real interest to the entire district are on the agenda, among which may be mentioned the question of Roads, the efficient mainâ€" tenance of the new Highway; the question of a loop road to provide a return journey; Resolutions. from member boards upon a variety of subâ€" jects; and the proposed Northern tour from Orillia. _ § ;I;Eefdelegatfes and visitors will be entertained to a banquet in the evenâ€" ing by the Timmins board. _ en e o e es s Two nonâ€"advertisers manufactured practically the same kind of rat traps, costing 15 cents each, which were sold to the trade at 20 cents, the purchaser paying 30 cents. o "» ~y 1116 UJ | t BB s n inn it The programme offers the opporâ€" tunity for constructive work by the Association, and an interesting time for the delegates. NO PUZZLE AT ALL ABOUT THIS ADVERTISING PUZZLE, It is hoped that an earnest effort will be made ‘by all the towns in the district to be represented; the Assoâ€" ciated Boards of Trade has proved a valuable organization to the North on many occasions in the past, and is ready to continue the good work as occasion warrants. Here is a puzzle to do with adverâ€" tising which the Fourth Estate places before the public to solve. "~ _ of the producers decided to advertise. â€" His mbgggsed sales enâ€" abled him to make theâ€"traps for 10 cents each. He then sold them to the trade for 15 cents. The .purchaser bought them at 25 cents. Who paid for the advertising? Not the maker of the rat traps beâ€" cause ‘he made more money by selling more traps. Not the retailer, for he made the same profit on less outlay. Not the purchaser, because he bought for five cents less. ~ Who paid for the advertising? Now argue that out; but better still, let those people who do not advertise try it out and see from experience whether it does not pay to advertise. They will find it does and won‘t bofher much in consequence about solving the puzzleâ€"Kingston Whigâ€" Standard. ‘"‘"A general meeting of the Timâ€" mins Football Club will be held in the town hall on Tuesday next, March 13th, at 8 p.m. It has been decided that the club shall affiliate with the Poreupine District Football League for the coming season of 1928.

As these competitions are not confined to localâ€"elubs but come under the jurisâ€" diction of the N. O. F. A., this means that we are likely to have some very interesting teams (outside of our P. D.

We welcome them all,â€"the more, the merrier. â€" So. to all players interested, and to those wishing to beâ€" come members, we say, roll up to the meeting and see that you get your signature where it should be for the coming season.
