ATTENTION HOUSEHOLDERS SECOND SECTION MOYSEY BLOCK Timmins STAR, L.O.B.A. South Porcupine | ‘"Proceeding north along the highway from Severn bridge, through an atâ€" | tractive stretch of country, one strikes ‘\the Sparrow lake road, turning off to the westward at mileage 98. Sparrow lake lies about two miles west of the highwayâ€"a vacation spot that sparkles \ as a gem in the Muskoka lakes daistrict offering restfully transquil inspiration. "Gravenhurst is reached at mileage 108. At this point, and branching off \ from the highway, one comes upon the leading west to Bala, and thence to Parry Sound. While touching the northwesterly extremity of Lake Musâ€" lkoka. this road lies close to the shores ‘of Lake Joseph. These two lakes are | important summer resorts, combining | beauty with adequate facilities for | pleasurable recreation. IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED FOR FERGUSON RIGHWAY "‘The Ferguson highway, named in honour of the premier of Ontario, proâ€" vides a splendid road for motor travel from Severn Bridge to Cochrane, the latter being 500 miles north of Toronto. Road Runs for Over Four Hundred Miles Through Muskoka Lakes District and Georgeous North Country Last week The Mail and Empire had a very interesting helpful section deâ€" voted to the advantages and attractions for tourists of this province of Ontario. There were articles on various disâ€" tricts of the province, with emphasis placed on Muskoka and Temagami as summer resorts. A special article also dealt with the Ferguson highway and the attractions along its route. The Advance has nothing but praise for the section, with the one exception. There is only bare mention of the town of Timmins, while the case would seem to warrant much more extended notice. However, here is The Mail and Emâ€" pire‘s article on the Ferguson highway: "Passing through territory of unsurâ€" passed loveliness, which includes the Muskoka lake district and the Temaâ€" gami forest reserve, this highway is a boon to the lover of the open road and freedom from the clash of city life. "At the Severn river, on the south boundary of Muskoka, 96 miles from Toronto, the Ferguson highway comes under the jurisdiction of the departâ€" ment of northern development. To Cochrane one may travel easily and comfortably over an improved gravel road, upon which, during the present year further improvements in the matâ€" ter of straightenting and widening are being made, particularly on that porâ€" tion through Muskoka. "Proceeding northward again, Braceâ€" bridge is reached at mileage 118. Two roads branch off at this point. The Bracebridgeâ€"Bayvilleâ€"Dorset road, 32 miles in length, runs eastward, leading to the pretty little village of Dorset, which lies at the head of the Lake of Bays. To the west, the road to Port Carling skirts the northerly shore of Muskoka lake, joining the Gravenâ€" hurstâ€"Bala road at Glen Orchard. "A few miles north of Bracebridge a road runs northwesterly to Lake Rosâ€" seau. This sparkling body of water, appearing gemâ€"studded by reason of its innumerable islets, is generally reâ€" gaurded as the fairest of Muskoka lakes. Tiny piers and boatâ€"houses, Jutâ€" ting out from a background of sunâ€" touched verdure into the incomparable blue waters. ""At mileage 221 one arrives at Calâ€" lander, where the tourist first strikes the beautiful Lake Nipissing, and the Callanderâ€"Pembroke road branches off to the east leading in the direction of ttawa. "North Bay at mileage 230 is the gateway to the great northland, with its immense and impressive mineral riches, its agricultural bouxties and luxurious camping grounds. It is at this point that the road leading westerâ€" ly to Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and inâ€" termediate points branches off. "Temagami is the zcentre of the tourâ€" ist trade for Temagami lake district The 1929 St. Lawrencse river shipping season is now on in full swing. The Anchorâ€"Donaldson liner Athenia led off by bringing more settlers to Canada than any other ship to date this year. Her companion ship, the Cunarder Ascania arrived simultaneously with almost as many immigrants. If you had patience enough to camp atop the famous Quebec bridge, this is what you might some day see: the Athenia inbound, having just landed hopeful immigrants at Quebec, passing a Cunard liner outbound from Montreal with prosperous Canadians who will visit their former homes in Great Britain. Ships that Pass by Day "Up in South Porcupine on June 5th eight inches of snow fell. So Mr. W. This is from the last issue of The Renfrew Mercury last week. Just like this:â€" H. Cotie writes from there to Mrs. Cotie in Renfrew. It is the Porcupine that a certain writer is who was once locatâ€" ed in Renfrew and was remarkable for the vigor of his protestations. People here will expect him to declare very plainly against June snow storms. "What is so rare as a day in June?" a poet has asked, but a day in June which has its snow storms is hardly a day to cheer for." "Swastika is reached at mileage 406. Here we reach the entry to the Kirkâ€" land Lake gold field, the group of mines at this point being second only in imâ€" portance in Ontario, in point of proâ€" duction. The town of Kirkland Lake and the centre of the gold area lies about 4 miles northeast of Swastika, and may be reached by rail or by an excellent motor road. and is reached at mileage 294. This is the point at which supplies may be procured. It is a calling port for the passenger boats plying on the lake, and is the transfer point for those arâ€" riving Oor leaving by the Ontario govâ€" ernment rallway. : ANY BLAME FOR OBJECTING TO EIGHT INCHES sNOW NOW? "At mileage 473, Porquis Junction, whence a road leads northsasterly to Iroquois Falls, and southeasterly to Timmins. Large paper mills are operâ€" ated at Iroquois Falls. This town has been laid out with great care and good taste and is looked upon in the north as the model town. "Cochrane, in an excellent piece of agricultural country, is reached at mileage 506. This is the junction point of the Canadian National railway and the Temiskaming and Northern Ontaâ€" rio railway. The latter has been exâ€" tended 26 miles to a point beyond Island Falls, on the way to Moose Factory on James Bay. This is the northerly terâ€" minus of the Ferguson highway, from which roads are rapidly being conâ€" structed in northerly, easterly and westerly directions. The road to the west leading to Kapuskasing and Hearst is being rapidly pushed through to completion." ining t t se P L PP P BP P P P DL P P Phone 499â€"500 TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 20th, 1929 Through our engineers, and statfs in all important mining centersâ€"â€"we render our brokerage service reliable mining service in addition to POSPONED JUNIOR BALL ON FRIUAY OF THIS WEEK Dome to Play at Timmins on Friday (Toâ€"morrow). Other _ Games Scheduled in Temiskaming Iunior League The Junior baseball match in the Temiskaming Junior Baseball League scheduled to be played on Friday of last week at Timmins athletic grounds between the Dome Juniors and the Timmins Juniors had to be postâ€" poned on account of the rain and storm. This opening match in the serâ€" ies so far as the Timmins grounds are concerned will be played here on Friâ€" day of this week, June 21st. This game toâ€"morrow night will give the ball fans an opportunity right at the start to size up the talent of the two junior baseâ€" ball teams in the Temiskaming League. Both teams have their ardent backers among the fans, but an actual game between the two does more than columns of comment or bushels of talk to show the fans just what is what in the teams. The first game in Timmins should accordingly have a particularly good attendance. Other games in the next few weeks include:â€" Honours Conferred at the Sudbury Academy Monday, June 24thâ€"Dome at Timâ€" mins. Friday, June 28thâ€"Timmins at Dome Friday, July 5thâ€"Dome at Timmins.

Referee, R. Wallace. The following despatch from Massey, Ont., refers to the death of Mr. Edward Brown, father of Mrs. Jos. Tario, of Schumacher, and of G. Russell Brown, of the same place. The despatch says: The following is the first round of the Boxer Cup:â€" On Thursday at noon, June 13th, there . passed away an old resident of Massey in the person of Edward Brown, at the age of 73 years. The late Mr. Brown had not been enjoying very good health during the past two years, but his death came suddenly. He was born in the township of Holland, Grey County, where he spent his youth. In 1883 he married Miss Premillia A. Bailey, of Berkeley, Ont., who survives him. Deâ€" ceased came to Massey some 43 years ago and took up a farm on the old Massey Mine road, where he and his family lived until last year, when their farm house was burned and they bought a home in Massey. He was a member of »the United Church and leaves to mourn his loss besides his wife, four daughters and six son: Mrs. Jos.

The funeral was held on saturday last and was very largely attended. The large number of floral tokens, as well as the large attendance at the funeral, eviâ€" denced the high regard in which the deceased was held.

These sophisticated little Cunard transâ€"Atlantic travellers knew the ropes aboard the big liner Ascania before they had been aboard many hours. They are chiefly little Canadians who were visiting uncles and aunts this spring in the Old Country, and they missed very few of the freâ€" quent servings of refreshments which one takes for granted at sea. SCDEBL RY "Tea is .Served" * «it P lt > JAGK NEILSON STEADILY GAINING IN REPUTATION Young Timmins Lad Winning High Place for HimseK! in Musical Circles in Toronto.s take special courses of study in music at the Hambourg Conservatory of Music in Toronto, is making the proâ€" gress that his friends and admirers hnere would expect. This summer he will play the violin in a noted symâ€" phony orchestra in Toronto, and the fact that he has been selected for this important place is proof of the growâ€" ing reputation he is winning as a vioâ€" linist of outstanding ability. ‘Those who heard this lad three years ago in |. Timmins at Caledonian Society and| other events here and at the concertsi given by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band | were so certain that the lad had outâ€"| standing genius that they took opporâ€" | tunity of a visit here of the Hart House | Quartette to have the gifted musicians in that organization give an opinion on | the talents of the boy. After hearing Jack Neilson in private recitals on the violin, Mr. Boris Hambourg and the other members of the quartette were convinced that he had very remarkable | talent and that a special course of l study in the technique of music was| not only wanted but was actually deâ€" manded by the outstanding talent of | the lad. As a result, Jack Neilsoni went to Toronto to the Hambourg Conâ€" | servatory of Music, under the auspices| of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band and members of the Kiwanis, Club. After| over a year at the Hambourg Conser-‘ vatory, Jack Neilson went to study with the wellâ€"known violinist, Spivak, who had great confidence in the boy‘s abiliâ€" ty.. Mr. and Mrs. Neilson have conâ€"| tinued the musical education of their | young son, seeing that he had the best available in the way of teachers of re-! pute and in opportunity for progress as a violinist. The engagement of the | _lad, who is not yet 15 years of age, to . play in the symphony orchestra, is one proof of the growing recognition of his undoubted gifts as a musician. There are many other similar evidences. In a recent issue of The Toronto (Globe | reference was made as follows to an | event in which Jack Neilson figured:â€"â€"g Minuet," by Maurice Besley, and reâ€" ceived a rousing ovation, bothi for their singing and dancing. Betty Barrow also gave a group of piano numbers, including Max Rowell‘s ‘"To a Wild Rose" and "Ecossaisen," by Beethoven, and took part in a threeâ€"piano ensemâ€" ble with Bud Baker and Allan Barron. Others taking part in the recital inâ€" cluded Lois Branston, Jean Searle, Eleanor Bull, Noreen Webster, Betty Caine, Louise Fraser, Jack Neilson, Alan Baker, Margaret Richards, Beatâ€" rice Cronk, Jean Campbell, Huntley Goldman, Jean Larsen, Doreen Youngâ€" son and George Buckland. Jack Neilâ€" son‘s violin numbers were well chosen and presented." Recently Magistrate Weegar at North Bay gave warning that reckless motorâ€" ists would be severely dealt with, as it was felt that reckless driving was becoming a serious menace to the pubâ€" lic safety. As a sequel to the warning a man charged last week in North Bay police court with reckless driving was find $50.00 and costs and also had his driver‘s license suspended for six months. othy C by M rousing ave the * Besley, a n, botli f¢ Betty _ pilano n il‘s 1." by Bee nd reâ€" or their Barrow umbers, a Wild _ CGID nd the lauded BArrOW Second nd reâ€" r their Barrow imbers, . _ Wilo ‘hoven, >nsem â€" sa@arron. tal inâ€" sa@rron tal inâ€" Searle Customs Assayer and Chemist Office: Room 2, Post Office Block, Timmins Samples may be left at Goldfields Drug TENTS PACK BAGS FLAGS EIDERDOWN HAVERSACKS ROBES sSNOWsHOES SKIIS DOG sLEIGHS nogG HARNESS TOBOGGANS HORSE TARPAULINS BLANKETS Ask your Local Dealer for Prices, or send your order direct to Jo Jo Turner SOnS, IJtdo PETERBOROUGH, ONT.
