Frederick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fredgrick, of 13 Cambrai street, Timmins. They made the trip over the Ferguson highway and report a fine automehle trip, with good roads as far as Englehart. Between â€" Englehart and Matheson Mr. Coolidge says road conditions are very ‘bad in spots. This is due to the continued heavy rains, and he believes the road will be quite passable when the summer weather really arrives. Mr. Coolidge was enthusiastic in reâ€" gard to the scenic beauties of the North Land. *"AIt is certainly a wonâ€" derful country,"‘ he said, ‘‘and there are so many points of interest that no one from the South who ean take in the trip should misstit."" _ Mr. Coolidge was impressed with the minâ€" ing Gdevelopment in this country, which he thought would be a revelaâ€" tion to most people in the South. The pulp, paper and lumber industries wereâ€"also notewortby, while he conâ€" sidered that as an interesting country for tourists this North Land had few equals. ‘‘I can well recommend this trip to the NortL,"" said Mr. Coolidge, Mr. Coolidge is the first to come through from Boston, Mass., by car this year. While the trip was diff;â€" eult on parts of the roadways of the North, he thought the difficulty large ly due to the unusual weather. He found the small strip of road between Swastika and Matheson closed for repairs the day he came along, and the ear was accordingly shipped by rail over this short strip.

It is thought that the town might donate this lot to secure the new building. A further suggestion is @a lot on the corner of Second aventie and Pine street, opposite the Power Co. building. It is understood that this site also could be secured free for a new post office building. The securing of a free lot to many seems a necessity on account of the fact that the appropriation ealls for only $30,000.00, and it will take all of this to ereet the building itself, T a lot is purchased, it will mean that the huilding will likely be delaved.

All three men lost in the triple trageâ€" dy last month have now been reâ€" covered.

Mr. Coulthard made the trip by what would ordinarily be easy stages, but in view of the condition of the roads and the weather, proved strenuous enough. Leaving Toronto on Saturâ€" day, June 16th, in.the evening Mr. Coulthard only spent about three hours on the motor cycle, stopping off at Severn for the evening. _ On Sunday he motorâ€"cycled for about ten hours with about nine hours on Monâ€" day, the roads this far not being bad and the cyclist being able to see what he wanted of the country and still cover considerable distance in a few hours. . On Tuesday of last week, Mr. Coulthard went through the Niâ€" pissing Mine at Cobalt and otherwise viewed the sights in the Silver Town. It took about three hours on Tuesday to go from Cobalt to ‘Swastika, and it was hard and tiring work on motor cyele. On Wednesday, travellâ€" ing at the rate of about 25 miles in three hours, Mr. Coulthard managed to make Ramore. Thursday, it rained heavy but Mr. Coulthard managed eventually to cover the 12 miles to Matheson. He got stuck in the mud more than once and the motor ecyele had to ‘be pulled out, railway men giving a kindly hand. _ Leaving Matheson at 2 p.m., Mr. Coulthard, after heavy going, made Timmins hy 6 p.m. on Friday. Glad he was to reach here, but anxious also as to how he was to get back, as he intended to motor cyecle back or find out why, bad roads or what not. Mr. Coulthard spent a few days here, viewing the gold mines and the district generally, and leaving with the intention of inâ€" specting Iroquois Falls and the paper mill there, weather, of course, permitâ€" ting. > | § * _ _Mr. Coulthard says the Ferguson highway is good for a motor car as far as Cobalt, but bad for anything the rest of the way. Even the best parts of the highway are not exactly suited to motor cycies, but despite the hard trip. «Mr. Conulthard says ha would not have missed this originâ€" al kind of vacation for quite a bit. On Monday Mr. Coulthard was a guest at the Kiwanis luncheon. Desmto rain and mud and other drawbacks, he says the North Land is a wonder- ful country and well worth seeing even if the trip has to be made by motor cyele over bad roadways.
