Howâ€" ever it was not so with a car that turnâ€" ed turtle, or, according to reports, turnâ€" ed several turtles, on the Dome Road on Sunday evening.

Mr. Ed. Richardson who was coming behind rushed the occupants (three women and a baby) to the hospital but it was found that only one of them, Mrs. Parker, a visitor from Montreal, was hurt badly enough to remain in the hospital. She was suffering considerâ€" ably from shock and a badly bruised hip but was well enough to be released from the hospital on Monday evening.

THE PORCUPINE aADVANCE TIMMINS. ONTARIQ The Girl Guides expect to move into their new headquarters this week. n Friday evening of last week the Kitchener Rebekah Lodge were honâ€" oured by the visit of the President of the Grand Lodge of Ontario, Mrs. May Thomas, of Lindsay. Mr. Thomas, Past Noble Grand in the 1.0.0.F., acâ€" companied his wife. Mrs. MacLeod, District Deputy President, of Cochrane, was also present. Besides there were a large number of sisters both from Cochâ€" rane and Timmins. During the evenâ€" ing baskets of flowers were presented to the President, and to Mrs. MacLeod and Mrs. Train, who is captain of our degree team. After the regular \busiâ€" ness of the evening was finished the Grand President was presented with a pin and gold nugget as a souvenir of her visit to the Lodge. Then all sat down to a delicious banguet. On \MTonday evening a number of the Eastern Star members from here alf tended the banquet given by their sisters in Timmins. Toâ€"night (Tuesâ€" day) our own Chapter will be honourâ€" ed by a visit from Mrs. Ida I}ichmond. Worthy Grand Matron®of the Eastern Star for Ontario. She comes from Toronto.â€" Next week we will be able to give further details of the banquet. Capt. and Mrs. Johns are in Toronto where Capt. Johns has had favourable reports from a specialist. We are hopeâ€" ful he will come back much improved IMPRAEGSIONG OF TIMMIN3 AND THE PORCUPINE CAMP in health Editor of The St Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus Writes of the North Land as he Viewed at on Return from the West Mr. Lorne Eedy, publisher of The Journalâ€"Argus, St. Mary‘s Ont., was one of the Ontario publishers attendâ€" ing the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association convention in the West this summer. On his return trip he took occasion to visit his sister, Mrs. Arch. Gillies, at Timmins. Mr. Eedy has been running a series of articles of interest on the trip. In The Journalâ€" Argus last week appears the following in reference to this part of the North Land ;:â€" "As we wished to pay a visit to members of the family at. Timmins, we took the northerly route of the C. N.R. home from Winnipeg. The jourâ€" ney through this north country which was uninhabited until the opening of the Northern transâ€"continental less than fifteen years ago, is very interestâ€" ing. It is a land of lakes,.woods and rivers. Along the rightâ€"ofâ€"way the land is being cleared by French Canaâ€" dian settlers, who_piece~out their earnâ€" ings by the sale of pulp wood and by occasional work for construction comâ€" panies. They crop hay, oats and vegetables. They have long hours of sunlight in this northern clime, but the seasons are short. At Kapuskasing a wonderful industrial development hnas taken place. Five or six years ago this district was solid bush,. Toâ€"day there is a large paper mill and a town of several thousand inhabitants, laid out in modern fashion, with all the advanâ€" tages that money can produce. We reâ€" called our first visit to this district in 1910, when the rails were laid only as far as the Mattagami River, and the site. Kapuskasing was then an unexplored tract. On that occasion we went out to the construction camp on the river, travelling on temporarily laid rails from Cochrane. "In those days Cochrane was a shack town but after having been burned down three times, the town finally rose from the ashes in brick and stone. Cochrane used to be the northern terâ€" minus of the T. N.O!, but now the railroad pushes on farther north» in the direction of James‘ Bay. The town is the centre of a large district and with the opening up of the country farther north its importance as a disâ€" tributing centre is increasing. "‘Timmins, the capital of the Porcuâ€" pine mining district, is about thirty miles south of Cochrane via T. N.O., and then a further 30 miles west off the main line. Together with the adâ€" jacent towns <of Schumacher and South Porcupine, it has a population of over twenty thousand people. There are perhaps fifteen to twenty gold mines in the district. The most imâ€" portant of these, the Hollinger, is the mainstay of Timmins, employing as it does, some three thousand men. Conâ€" sidering that it is a mining camp, Timmins possesses some very subâ€" stantial buildings. Its business blocks will compare favourably with those of other cities and its schools are equal to those of oldâ€"established centres. It is in the residential streets that you realize that you are still in a mining camp. Few of the camp‘s rich citizâ€" ens have yet gone so far as to invest any substantial sum in a home. In other respects Timmins has every air of permanency. "Timmins is a cosmopolitan town. Among the mining officials and enâ€" gineers you meet men and women who have lived all over the world. The miiners are of various nationalities. The Italian quarter for instance, has a population of eleven hundred. Many of the merchants too, are foreigners, although they seem to be a good class and differ a little from nativeâ€"born Canadians. "One of the enjoyable experiences of our visit was our going through the Hollinger mines. It is an immens: property.> coverifig several hundred acres, with a score of shafts going down as far as six thousand feet. There are hundreds of miles of railâ€" way underground. The ore that is mined in the Hollinger is low grade, The rock is broken and ground, then pulverized, and treated with chemicals. Out of a ton of rock they get about as much gold as would sit on your finâ€" ger nail, in other words six dollars worth to the ton. The last form that we were permitted to see the gold in was a solution in water which fowed swiftly under a bridge. Six thousand dollars worth of gold flows by in an hour, which means that you would have to evaporate quite a few barrels of water to get the price of an ice cream cone "Northern Ontario is a land of great distances. Timmins is five hundred miles north of Toronto and half that distance to North Bay. Most of the intervening territory is occupied by the great Clay Belt. In the Liskeard and Haileybury districts one sees very fine farms along the T. N.O. The comfortable farm homes and spacious barns are almost on a par with those of the prosperous older sections of the Province. Though the seasons up there are short, the days are long and the sunlight gets a great chance during the summer season. It is daylight until nearly ten o‘clock at night. Grain crops do very well, although this year | the oats are late in ripening. Theyi grow some wonderful root and vegetâ€" able crops up there and «altogether the : Clay Belt is justifying pretty well the' hopes of those who have taken up farms there during the past fifteen years." s Grain will shortly begin to move throughout Western Canada on a treâ€" mendous scale, the transportation facilities being provided to enable trains to run 20 minutes apart for each 24 hours. Scores of miles of empty boxâ€" cars are on sidetracks at strategic points on the prairie. In excess of $200,000,000 is the financial lubricant to grease the wheels of these succesâ€" sive trains of grain cargoes.
