The Cord car is one of the Auburn new type, and one of its most interesting features is the fact that it has a frontâ€"wheel drive. Those who examined the car or rode in it were agreed that the frontâ€"wheel drive was the logical method of locomotion but they knew that certain difficulties stcod in the way cf the practical apâ€" plication of the frontâ€"wheel â€" drive. These difficulties have been overcome in the Cord car. It has wonderful reâ€" sponse to the steering wheel, can tum! | in a remarkably narrow strip of road and has all the other features that go to make a motor car of special interest.| The test given this particular car, was a very practical one. It was drivâ€" en up here from Toronto by J...G. Christo;\herson, of the O‘Donnellâ€"Macâ€" kie Limited, Toronto, distributors of Auburn cars. The roads are by no means perfect yet but the car proved equal to all demands. Moreover, for the trip the average consumption of sasoline was only at the rate of 13 miles to the gallon, though both the car and the roads may be classed as heavy. The pulling power of the Cord, with its frontâ€"wheel drive, however, is noteworthy. In the case of the frontâ€" wheel drive it is actually a case of pullâ€" ing power rather than the awkward jush system of the ordinary rearâ€"wheel The Cord car has apparently solved the technical problems of the frontâ€"wheel drive and has a car that is mechanically simp‘e and yet effective. Instead of the dGdriver‘s seat being cluttered up with levers and other arâ€" rangements all manipulation of the car is done by a few and these are arâ€" ranged in a way that leaves the driver‘s knees clear and freedom of moveâ€" ment assured. The car has also speâ€" cial features in regard to shifting gears, etc., that make particular appeal to the motorist. During the time that Mr. Christopherson was in town his handâ€" some car attracted much interest and when its outhtanding features were known the interest was much increasâ€" ed. Mr. Christopherson was very ready and courteous in explaining to all enâ€" yuirers any special features of the Cord car and his visit certainly created much interest. A report made by Percy Hopkins on the Red Lake Centre Mines, Ltd., stresses the favourable prospects of the Red Lake field having cther profitable gold mines besides the Howey. In the early work in the field there was a ncted absence of porphyry intrusions on much of the territery staked. Howâ€" ever, as prospecting has advanced a more accurate idea of such intrusions has been gathered. TW3 YFARS !N PRISON FDR ASSAULT ON LITTLE GIRL | It is stated by mining men that the Stewart Abate mines is negotiating with the Blue Quartz Company for the mmmg equipment on the latters‘ proâ€" pexty in Beattyâ€"Munro area at Pain | Killer lake. * sentenced on Thursday last to two years in Kingston penitentiary when found guilty on a charge of indecent assault attempted against a little girl of seven years of age. He claimed to be so drunk on the occasion ‘of the ofâ€" fence that he did not know what he Said he Was so Drunk he Did Not Know What he Was Doing. This and the Fact That Youngster Not Hurt Saved Him From the Lash. was doing, and perhaps this fact toâ€" gether with the other fact that the child was not injured saved him from the lash as well as the prison term. Magistrate Atkinson in passing senâ€" tence mentioned the fact that the lash could be imposed for such an offence and he gave the prisoner stern warnâ€" ing that may well be heeded by others. According to the evidence in the case the little girl was induced by Cretori to him and about one o‘clock on Saturday morning a gentleman living on Middleton avenue heard noise on his lawn and going outside discovered Cretori and the little girl. The youngâ€" ster had hor face scratched and bruised apparently through Cretori attempting to stifle her cries while her coat was also torn. The police were notified and Cretori was arrested while the little girl was taken to her home. The youngster was found to be uninjured. When arâ€" rested Cretori was considerably under the influence of liquor and he had bottle of liquor in his pocket. On a charge of illegally having liquor in a public place he was fined $100.00 and costs or three months in police court last week. He did not pay the fine, so the option of the jail term applies. The father of the little girl laid the charge of indecent tassat‘lt against Cretori and for this he was given the twoâ€"year term in the penitentiary as noted. LIEUTENANTâ€"GOVERNOR PAYS VISIT TO THE PORCUPINE His Honour the Lieutenantâ€"Goverâ€" nor of the Province of Ontario, Hon, W. D. Ross, was a visitor to the camp during the weekâ€"end, being the guest of R. J. Ennis at Schumacher. During his stay there were several sccial afâ€" fairs at which the Lieutenantâ€"Goverâ€" nor was the guest, one of these being a dinner at which Mayor Geo. S. Drew and the heads of several of the mines of the district were also guests. Gregorie Cretori, a Ukrainian, was Timmins THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO SISTER OF TTMMINS MAN â€" PASSES AWAY AT PEMBROKE A despatch from Pembroke to The Ottawa Journal under date of June 8th says:â€""Miss Catherine Perrault, of Fort William, Que., died in the genâ€" eral hospital here yesterday afternoon. For more than 50 years, Miss Perrault taught school in various parts of the country. She was born at Fort Wilâ€" liam. 85 years ago, when the Hudson Bay Company still conducted a tradâ€" ing post at that point, her parents being the late Augustus Perrault, a pioneer lumberman of the Upper Otâ€" tawa, and Mrs. Perrault. She received her primary education from goverâ€" ness in her home, and subsequently atâ€" tended school in Pembroke and Kingâ€" ston. She taught school in Pembroke, Cobden, Alice, Perretton and other parts of Renfrew county, retiring over 20 years ago. Since that time, until taken ill .she resided with a sister, Miss Harriett Perrault, at Fort William. For the past two years she had been a phitient in the hospital here. In adâ€" dition to Harriett Perrault, Mrs. A. Birch, Pembroke, another sister, surâ€" vives, as well as three brothers, Hector, of Sheenboro; Narcisse, of Timmins, and Joseph, of Everett, Wash. The body was taken to the home of her niece, Miss Mary Craig, 153 Cecelia street. The funeral will take place toâ€" morrow afternoon to Calvin Church cemetery, the services to be conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. M. Allen." C H. W. Kearney has returned from a tour overseas where he visited many contres of interest in Europe and North Africa. _»"A. G. Carson, superintendent of the District CA.S., was in Toronto this week on business in connection with the C.A.S. work. Bornâ€"In St. Mary‘s hospital, Timâ€" mins, on Monday, June 2nd, 1930, to Mr. and Mrs. D. Thomas, Struce slre2st, north,â€"a son (Kenneth). _â€"His Honour the Lisutenantâ€"Governâ€" or of Ontario attended divine service in St. Matthew‘s church, Timmins, lz}st Sunday morning. The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€"‘"Mrs. Charles Roberts and baby of Timmins, are visiting for a few days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sulâ€" livan, John street." A‘tea and homeâ€"cooking sale will be held at the home of Mrs. G. S. Scott, 48 Hemlock street, on Saturday, June 21ist, under the auspices of the United Church Ladies‘ Aid. Mr. Napoleon Legendre who has been ill for some time past, was taken to the Weston Hospital, Toronto, Wednesâ€" day noon, accompanied by nurse from St. Mary‘s hospital, Timmins. The Conservatives Oof the district are to hold a meeting on Satâ€" urday night in Nicholson‘s house to appoint delegates for the convention at Porquis Junction next Tuesday. The Salvation Army‘s annual tag day on Tuesday of this week was a suctâ€" cessful event as usual. The money reâ€" ceived will go to the support of the rescue and relief effort of the Army. In this column you like to read about others; others like to read about you. If you have visitors from out of town, or if you or any member of your family happen to be visiting out of town drop a line to The Advance. A herd of about 25 cattle was driven across the flower beds of the Hotel Haileybury at Haileybury last week by men dGriving the animals from the wharf to the station. The flower beds had just been fixed up and planted this year. It seems almost unbelievable that men would be so thoughtless as to drive cattle across the property or allow them to go across and destroy so much work and prospects of beauty. ANOTHER GROUP OF RARE AND INTERESTING COINS While overseas with the 93rd Peterâ€" berough Battalion J. Montgomery, 86 Wende avenue, picked up a nuimber of odd and interesting coins which he has kept. These include German, Austriâ€" an, Belgian, and French coins as well as some whose nationality is not apâ€" parent though no doubt experts in ccins could place them. One of the coins is a German silver piece, worth three pfennigs, and dated 1875. Anâ€" other is a United Stateg halfâ€"dime of 1853. Among the French coins are a dime of 1865, the time of Napoleon II, while Napoleon III is represented by a very worn ten cent piece of the date of 1868. Another very battered coin is a Napoleon II one dated 1855. A Scandinavian coin of 1891 is marked "95 Pennia," and has an odd look among modern coins. A Victorian halfâ€"penny is so worn that the inscripâ€" tion and date are not deciphemable. It is very evidently an old coin. A small silver piece bearing the Belgian lion is marked as worth two cents and datâ€" ed 19023. Milverton Sun:â€"As Dominion Day falls on July first, a date after school closes, it should not be forgotten by teachers when instructing children in the greatness of Empire, the keystone place that Canada holds in it. Every child should be taught that loyalty and love of his or her own country should have the preâ€"eminent place in their heart and affections, for after all "he‘s the best cosmopolite who loves his country best." SAULT MAN TRIKD TO GET MONEY BY POSING AS CORPSE There are many strgnge tales from Sault Ste. Marie, but the latest is as strange as any,. Despatches dated from the Sault tell about it.â€"Pretendâ€" ing to be dead and then trying to colâ€" lect your own funeral expenses from your brother sounds like a strange means of raising money, yet J. Miller, alias W. A. Barr, whose home is in Bristol, Tenn., but who has been living in the Sault, tried to do so. Saturday he appeared in police court and was ordered deported to the United States. Sometime ago Barr wired his brother in Bristol, signing the message J. Milâ€" ler. The message was to the effect that W. A. Barr was dead, and his dying wish was that his brother would have the body taken to Sunny Tennessee for interment. The brother in Bristol wired back asking Miller to find out what it would cost to have the body taken south. Miller replied saying that it would cost $176 and he asked to have the money sent immediately. By this time the undertaker in Bristol was on the job, and he telegraphed T. E. Simpson‘s undertaking parlours to look up the corpse, embalm it and all expenses would be guaranteed. The Sault Ste. Marie undertakers searched the city but coud find no available corpse so the provincial police entered the picture. Constable E. W. Keen found the corpse walking along the street and arrested him. . Photoâ€" graphs were sent to Police Chief D. L. Heiberlin, of Bristol, and he identified thâ€"em as Vbeing of W. A. Barr. Bartr‘s brother also identified the photographs. on several occasions The Advance has pointed cut the foolish criminality of destroying electric light bulbs on the town streets. Apparently, though Timmins has had little of this sort of crime recently, there has been more than the average in Sudbury, as the following from The Sudâ€" bury Star will prove:â€"*"Considerable trouble has been caused by boys and men breaking insulaters on the elecâ€" tric light and power lines. On Sunday power was shut off for an hour or so when upwards of 25 insulators on the old slag road were replaced. Some of them had been broken by stones and evidently a number had been used as rifie targets." * *% * * * * Preserving Pineapples medium size, 2 for... Walkerton Butter, per lb ..........

"EET," it must be explained is the Parisian equivalent of "IT," the now famous sexoâ€"spiritual commodity disâ€" covered and isolateed by Elinor Glyn. After he heard Chevalier speak his lines during the production of "Innoâ€" cents of Paris," which showed at the Goldfields theatre last night and will be shown again this (Thursday). Jesâ€" sie L Lasky, the first viceâ€"president, in charge of the production said that Chevalier‘s new allâ€"talking picture has as much ‘It‘ as Miss Clara Bow‘s perâ€" scnality." When Chevalier learned of his comâ€" ment he said: "Eet? What is zis eet?" Madame Glyn was not present to explain "It" to him and Chevalier reâ€" mained about the whole thing for some time. Timmins people should be able to see quite a bit of point in this note from The Sudbury Star last week:â€""The Sudbury isolation hospital is closec, and perhaps the vital question of a new one will be a dead issue until there is a real need again for such an inâ€" stitution. Like the farmer‘s barn with the leaky roof, when the weather was fine it didn‘t need repairing, and when it rained it was too wet to get up and fiy It."

JACK FORTUNE DROWNED AT RED LAKE LAST WEEK Word from Hudson this week tells of the sad death by drowning of Jack Forâ€" tune at Red Lake. He and his wife were out in a canoe when in some manner or another the canoe was upâ€" set. Both Mr. Fortune and his wife were thrown into the water. Mrs. Fortune grabbed the overturned cance and hung on, being rescued shortly by others near at hand.
