First White Child Born in New Liskeard Area Many of the most interesting items of local history in this North Land are liable to be lost for want of any permanent chronicling. Here is one place where the newspapers of the North Land can do, and are doing, useâ€" ful and valuable service. Among the newspapers of the North Land to whom the country and its people are specially indebted along this line, The Advance would particw#Wlarly mention The New Liskeard Speaker. To the historian of the North Land of the future the fyles of The New Liskeard Speaker will prove a mine of information. Not only will there be great array of facts available but the information will be found most attractivelypresented. The Speaker is always interesting but it is particuâ€" larly so when in reminiscent mood. Last week, for instance, it had a brief article headed "Reminiscent." This article is well worth reproduction and is accordingly given in full herewith as follows :â€" "Following up the reminiscences which the death of Mr. Charles Brooks, Temâ€" kaming pioneer, brings to mind, Mr. George Brooks, a son, has handed us two papers dated in 1895, which show when and in what manner the first school section was formed here. One is a hand bill dated 3rd Feburary, 1895, which gave notice to Mr. Brooks of the "First Public School Meeting." The notice is signed "John Armstrong and William Murray, Petitioners for formaâ€" tion of said What struck us, from the printers‘ viewâ€"point, was the period or point following the word "Meeting." These notices were printed in blank, and at a time when a printer would lose his job if he failed to punctuate a poster or hand bill. Now, a printer who punctuated his jobâ€" printing would be laughed at. "The other notice was Mr. Brooks‘ assessment notice, dated December 16, 1895. The Brooks‘ farm was then assessed for $400. It is now assessed at $3,700. The assessment notice, although most likely handed to Mr. Brooks, is addressâ€" ed to the Haileybury post office, so that in 1895 there was no post office here. There is a story current that the Hon. E. J. Davis, then Commissioner of Crown Lands, promised that the Department would give a farm lot to the first white child born here after the region was officially opened for settlement. The first child born after the promise was made was a fipne baby girl, Charlotte Brooks, now Mrs. Anâ€" derson. A few months later a baby boy was born to parents living on the West road. It is said the Minister gave the lot to the boy. We ask our readers to give no credence to the legend. We know Mr. Davis very well, and we are sure he would not discriminate against the little baby girl. Perhaps, however, he will explain." â€" NARROW ESCAPE AT LANG STREET CROSSING, COBALT For years past the serious danger at the Lang street railway crossing at Coâ€" balt has been a matter for discussion and comment and innumerable warnâ€" ings have been given as to the menace to life and motor cars through this particular railway crossing. The genâ€" eral opinion has been that before the menace will be removed some tragedy wil occur to emphasize the danger at this crossing. In the meantime all motorists knowing the dangers of this crossing have been especially careful and watchful. However, some days ago it looked as if the tragedy had occurâ€" red, though fortunately this was not the case. The New Liskeard Speaker tells the story of the incident as follows:â€" "For years motorists have endeavorâ€" ed to "keep their eye when approaching the Lang Street crossing at Cobalt. Many columns have been expended by the press of the district pointing out the dangers of this parâ€" ticular place and urging upon the authorities the advisability of buildâ€" ing an overhead bridge. it has been marvellous how travellers over the road have escaped either street car or train. However, it has occurred at alst, and all will be be pleased to know that while it was fully expected an accident would happen at this point, the first serious one is without fatalities, The reason of the above is due to the fact that Mr. Wm. Shillington, partner of Mayor Sullivan, of Cobalt, while going south on Wednesday evening, encountâ€" ered a freight train at the Lang Street crossing. A colilision took place, and the motor car received the worst of the encounter. The car was badly wreckâ€" ed and Mr. Shillington was cut on the arin and about the head by fiying glass from the windshield, while the steerâ€" ing wheel was broken off in his hands. The injured man was rushed to the hospital, but we are pleased to say that no serious results are expected from his injuries. So far as conditions at this danger point are concerned Mr. Shillâ€" ington might easily have been a dead man. Surely the Council of Cobalt and all other organizations will not rest unâ€" til something is done to safeguard the travelling public so far as the Lang Street crossing is concerned. If nothâ€" ing better can be done it would be adâ€" visable to have a signal man stationed there." Pembroke â€" Standardâ€"Observer:â€"Alâ€" ways something to be thankful for,. Owing to blunders in the office of the Renfrew Mercury (incidentally the last place on earth to expect them) Tom Costelio had a good night‘s sleep. He heard their report that he had been eâ€" lected, and went home fully satisfied that the victor‘s crown rested again on his head. Tom Murray hiked away to Barry Bay expecting to pile slabs this winter instead of making speeches in the Legislative Halls of Ontario. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS,, ONTARIO TEMISKAmiNG COUNGIL OF AGRIGULTURE NOW LIKELY Plans Under Way to Organize for the Marketing of Farm Products and Other Purposes. Meeting Callâ€" ed for Toâ€"day at Earliton. For a considerable time past there have been proposals for the organizaâ€" tion of some sort of a club for the better marketing of farm produce in the North Land. Various efforts have been made in a §mall way in individual instances and these have met with good success. Among these efforts may be noted the establishment of a market in Timmins some years ago. The more recent establishment of the Kirkland Lake market, with the special railway service secured is another example. The ~ Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade has always taken a keen interest in the matter and tried to do all possible to assist the best possible marketing of the products of the farms of the North, Alex M. Dewâ€" ar, for several years president of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, gave very special attention and interest to the question and was enâ€" thusiastic in urging that something be done in the matter. It was always felt that the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade could do much to assist in ways like this and certainly the members have always been ready to _do so. From the recent announcement made by W. G. Nixon, district representative of the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, New Liskeard, it would appear that a regular marketing board is to be estaâ€" blished for Temiskaming. If it works well there the idea will no doubt be adopted for the Cochrane District area. Mr. Nixon, who is secretary of the marketing committee referred to in his announcement, says:â€" "The committee on Marketing, namâ€" ed some months ago have been successâ€" ful in having the majority of the orâ€" ganized townships of the district name township representatives to meet toâ€" gether with men from the unorganized townships for the purpose of discussing ways and means of improving the marâ€" keting of Temiskaming agricultural products and the betterment of Temâ€" iskaming agriculture, generally, These representatives are being called toâ€" gether at Earlton on November 14thn and will meet in the Parish Hall, there. It is possible that the organization may be named ‘"The Temiskaming Council or Board of Agriculture." It has besn definitely decided that the organization shall be nonâ€"political and nonâ€"sectariâ€" an and that its aims and objects shall be to work for the improvement of agricultural conditions throughout the district.‘ DATES â€"OF WINTER FAIRS TO BE HELD THIS WINTER The Advance has received a couple of requests for the date of the Royal Winter Fair.

MANY FROM DISTANT LANDS AT AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE An insight into the international character of O.A.C. may be derived from the annsuncement that students are in attendance from the following countries: Trinidad, Rhodesia, Bermuâ€" da, Mexico, South Africa, Holland, Germany, Peru, Ukraine, Japan, Norâ€" way, United States, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Czechoâ€"Slovakia and Canada. HoON \ s . Hon. John S,. Martin, Minister of Agriculture, returned to his duties at the Parliament Buildings last week after an absence of five months due to iliâ€" ness. He was warmly greeted by heads of the different departmental branches. Hon. Mr. Martin will now actively supervise activities of the department, although he will be compelled to take things easy for about a year. VENISON COMESs HIGH OUT NQOT TOO HIGH FOR HUNTERS W. J. Styles who writes a bright and breezy cclumn of comment and philâ€" osophy each week for The Renfrew Mercury, last week dealt with the cost of venison and showed why hunters do not consider the price too high. "W. J. S8." writes as follows in the matter: "It costs hunters two or three dolâ€" lars per pound for the venison they get, and each one gives more or less away to friendsâ€"a roast here, a steak there and a stew elsewhereâ€"but the hunters do not begrudge the money. It is not that they prefer venison to any other meat that they are prepared to pay two or three daollars per pound for it; it is because that in the gettingzg of it they come by many a thrill. Only those who have hunted know what those thrills ars. One is the geiting back to nature for a fortnight. The cry of the hound in music to the ear. The howling of wolves at night is anâ€" other attraction. The keenest of apâ€" petities are in evidence. Sitting arsund a camp fire at night "swappinz yarns" is another joy. Venison would han: in a meatshop for a long, lomz while before the most ardent hunter could be induced to pay two or three dollars per pound for it." JOHN S. MARTIN NOW BACX AT HIS WOERK AGAN Toâ€" The Sudbury star last week says:â€" "An incident which happens only once in the proverbial "blue moon" occurred about a week ago when Mr. D. R. Moore, playing bridge with Mrs, Moore and Mr. and Mrs. T. 8. Wilson, held sUDBURY MAN HAS HAND OF THIRTEEN SPADES COMPLETE a hand of 13 spades. Mr. Moore said that when he looked at the cards he at first suspected a "frameâ€"up," but deâ€" cided that it was not possible. It was the first hand of the game when Mr. Moore had won the cut for deal and had dealt after the cards were shuffled by Mrs. Wilson and cut by Mrs. Moore. The hand passed off with very little excitement, Mr. Moore getting the bid with his initial bid of two spades. He had hoped to raise some excitement in the bidding and at least get a double out of it, but the rest of the hands were so evenly divided there was no bid."

Special to The Advance. One of the advantages of the surâ€" face on the new highway buflt this year under the joint auspices of the township of Teck and the Northern Deâ€" velopment Department is that it has a nonâ€"skid surface. There were some who expected that is would have the paved road type of finish but this will not be the case, the advantage of the bituminous type of surface being that i! is much safer for cars in this country. The type of finish already given to parts of the new road from Kirkland Lake to Swastika will be evident as time goes on. A pavedâ€"road typs of hard slippery, surface would prove dangerous for motor cars and other vehicles in wet and winter weather. Holt, Renfrew have a reputation that is now nearly one hundred years old for smart style, fine quality and unâ€" excelled workmanship.

Our immense volume of business enables savings at every stepâ€" purchasing â€"designing â€"fashioning â€" and selling. And these economies are passed directly on to you. Compare the values listed below, The work to be done this year on the } road from Swastika to Kirkland is completed for the season. All the equipment and machinery of the Mcâ€" Namara Brothers, who have the conâ€" tract, will be left at Kirkland Lake for the winter so as to be ready for use in the spring. As soon as weather conâ€" ditions permit it in the spring the work on the road will be taken up again and rushed to completion. There is quite a bit to finish yet but the McNam#ra Brothers felt that work done after the winter weather had set in would not be satisfactory and so the work was disâ€" continued as it is the intention to have the whole roadway done in a way that will be very satisfactory to all concernâ€" _ed. Some delay in the work this year was caused by the collapse of the T. N.O. bridge on the extension from Swastika to Kirkland. ‘mrhne fall of this bridge delayed the transport of materials reâ€" quired. By the time that new arrangeâ€" ments were made for the transportaâ€" tion of the materials to Kirkland Lake, the weather conditions were not proâ€" pititious and wer becoming less so all the time. It was found necessary to leave parts of the roadway without the regular surface treatment on account of the weather and other conditions. Some of the unfinished part was left so on acâ€" count of the necessity for allowing fillâ€" edâ€"in roadway to properly settle before being surfaced.
