When the hero and his pal got away up to Fort Norman the hunt started in earnest. At one place they were three hours behind the fugitives, who were paddling canoes upstream and had made 30 miles in the three hours. That‘s pretty good going for loaded canoes without kickers. Ask any prosâ€" pector. The climax of the story was the fight between the hero and the five bad. bold men, all of whom had rifles. They brought down the plane in A shallow lake, the exâ€"R.CM.P. disâ€" mounted his Lewis, paddled it 400 yards in a withering fire, got hit five times, but set up his gun in the water and wiped ‘em all out. It wasn‘t a good day for wiping either, seems as though. The thing the present writer partiâ€" cularly objected to in the book was the absentminededness in the heroes. They only ate three meals in three weeks. One of them stayed awake for five days continuously according to the story. Of course a guy that can go without food or sleep, who can start a flight with wheels and wind up with pontoons who can.shoot through a prop., is a tough egg to have trailing you. (Canadian Golfer) Many extraordinary golfing stunts have been recorded this season. From Woocdstock, Ontario, came word of a dog picking up a golf ball which had landed on the green and dropping it in the hole for a "one." From Howard, Sask., a "birdie" was reported by a player when he killed a plover with his teeâ€"shot, but it remains for Brantford to register not "a doggie," a "birdie," nor an ‘"eagle," but a "turkey." Dr. C. Race, son of the president of the Brantford Golf and Country Club, Mr. W. B. Race, principal of the Ontario Institute for the Blind, searching for his drive on the blind 13th hole of the Brantford Golf and Country Club the other day found his ball reposing beside a prostrated turkey gobbler, which had wandered from a nearby farm onto the 13th fairway and was gasping its last. First thing we know some lusty hitâ€" ting golfer will be accounting for one of the bears which playfully amble over the fairways at Jasper Park, Alberta. (Regina Star) â€"Now and then you are reminded that fact is stranger than fiction. London, for example, is the home of many queer things, if you know where to look for them. But possibly the queerest thing in London is an obscure club, . so exclusive that even King George or the Prince of Wales would be blackballed if either applied for membership.

(From The Northern Miner) When the novelists take to the woods for material they sometimes pull amusâ€" ing boners. The writer ran across one of those Royal Northwest Mounted Polâ€" iceâ€"getâ€"your manâ€"type of yarns last week, with scene laid in the Mackenzie River Valley. It is hard to say what the police will think of the story, beâ€" cause the author broke pretty nearly gll their rules and regulations. Howâ€" ever, from the viewpoint of the ordiâ€" nary reader there were some terrible solecisms. For instance the hero, who had just bought himself out of the serâ€" vice in order to follow a gang of bandits got a flier to join him in a vengeance stunt. The membershin list is fairly large, and would be larger except that many candidates have been rejected because they had forged their credentials. The author described taking off a plane at Edmonton. They had mechâ€" anics kick the chocks away from the wheels. Next stop was a water landâ€" ing, and from that time on they used pontoons. The changeâ€"over was eviâ€" dently made in the tir, a trick that the Western Canada Aairways boys should pick up. At Edmonton the two daredevils had stolen a machine gun, a parachute, an extra gas tank and lots of things. That was O.K. except that the author had the machine gun mounted out in front, where it naturally would have to shoot through the propeller. It worked all, right apparently, even without a synâ€" chrconizing equipment, and the hero sprayed the bandits fore and aft withâ€" out ever touching the prop. That‘s what you might call fine shooting. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"The Fort Erie, Snake Hill and Pacific Raillway will be scrapped.

THIS PART OF NORTH AGREED ON TRANSâ€"CANADA HIGHWAY Boards of Trade of Haileybury, Caobalt and New on Record Again for the Ferguson Highway Route as Part of Transâ€"Canada Road. During the recent Dominion election campaign The Advance named the matter of the Transâ€"Canada hignway as one of the two most vital issues before the people at the time, and this newspaper thinks the question has lost none of its imporance in the meantime. The Advance believes that if the Transâ€"Canada highway is completed at an early date it will soon return its cost in the amount of extra money brought into the country from tourist traffic, provided, of course, that the right route is selected. For some time past, however, there has been an orâ€" ganized agitation for a route that The Advance believes to be a wrong one and impractical. This route would include the building of part of the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway through a rocky section along the North shore of Lake Superior. It would be costly and when buill would not be as attractive as the route by way of the Ferguson highway to Cochrane and Kapuskasing and west. The necessity for combatting the wrong route and urging the right one has been apparent for some time and the press and the boards of trade in this part of the North have been busy workâ€" ing on the matter. In connection with the question there was a meeting of representatives of the Haileybury, COâ€" balt and New Liskeard boards of trade last week, and The Advance presents here with the report of the meeting as given by The New Liskeard Speaker:â€"â€" "‘The Temiskaming and Cochrane mpsople have no objections whatever to the Government building any roads they may see fit in any of the Western secâ€" tions. The more the better, so far as the present unemployment situation is concerned, and The Speaker has alâ€" ready suggested that lines be run north from various points to connect wiin the Transâ€"Canada highway, as we deâ€" sire it. But what they do object to is any scheme which is or may be calecuâ€" lated to interfere with and nullify the immense benefits which are sure to follow the early completion of the Ferâ€" guson highwayâ€"which is already built to a point practically nine miles west of Hearstâ€"on to the West boundary of the province. Up to thse present time the people along the Ferguson hignway have only thought of the proposed road following the line of the C.N.R. to the Manitoba boundary. If the informaâ€" tion given by Mr. Shaw is correctâ€"he "A joint meeting of the Boards Ofi Trade cof Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard, held at Haileybury on Wedâ€" nesday night left no uncertainty in the minds of those present as to the desires of the Central Temiskaming towns, and that, of course, means the towns and communities of the entire T. and N. O. country. A proposition was laid before the meeting by Mr. E. Wharton Shaw, who is contemplating an "across the continent" tour, by which the Temiskaming Boards were asked to sponsor the building of a road from Blind River, Chapleau, Oba, etc., from which a hookâ€"up line woult be run to connect with the road at Hearst. The sentiments of those presâ€" ent were quite freely expressed. It would appear that Fort William and Port Arthur residents have signified their desire to join with Sault Ste. Marie in having a road built along the shore line of Lake Superior. The disâ€" tricts east of the Sault do not appear to be favourably impressed with the route these three Wesern towns favour, and are out with another proposition which calls for the building of a line as above stated. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee P;on;;>tes goo:l health when used regularly after every meal.

"We were just listening." was Mr. McDonald‘s reply to the Mayor‘s reâ€" mark. He added that the compromise route had the endorsation of Mr. Wright, president of the Northern Onâ€" tario Associated Boards of Trade. Mr. McDonald remarked that opinion on the route> question would have to be united if it is hoped to have the road projected. "Before the close of the meeting Aat Haileybury last evening resolution was unanimously passed that "This meeting of representatives of the Boards of Trade of Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard endorse the action previously taken by the Boards of Trade for this district in supporting the completion of the Ferguson highway via Cochrane, Hearst, Fort William and Port Arthur, as a part of the Ferguson Transâ€"Canada highway. "Knowing Mr. Wright as we do, The Speaker assumes that he was ‘"incorâ€" rectly reported." The Speaker under the heading, "North Bay Stands Put," also publishâ€" ed the following report of a North Bay council meeting from the columns of The North Bay Nugget:â€" "I sincerely hope the Board of Trade did not approve of that scheme," reâ€" marked Mayor Rowe after listening to J. H. McDonald, president of the Board of Trade, tell the council last evening that the Board of Trade had conferred with E. Wharton Shaw, Hamilton, earâ€" lier in the evening regarding a comâ€" promise route for the rtrojected Transâ€" Canada highway. Mr. McDonald had told council that Mr. Shaw‘s proposiâ€" ti@n entailed the building of a road north from Blind River, through Chapâ€" leau, to Oba to continue from that point. The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Mr. and Mrs. N. Knight, of the Reâ€" public of Panama, who visited this secâ€" tion of the North Country last weekâ€" end, are the most southerly people to come here so far this season. They motored from New York, after shipâ€" ping their car to that city from their southern home, and were on their way to the western States via the Soo when they were met at Burk‘s Falls by Mr. A. J. Carson, who persuaded them to come North and see the country. Mr. and Mrs. Knight were greatly imâ€" pressed by their visit here. They had a drive with Mr. Carson through the farming districts and saw the sights around the three towns. While they knew something of the geography of Northern Canada, they expected nothâ€" ing but woods and trappers this far north and were agreeably surprised. They told Mr. Carson that they would spread the gospel of the North among their friends when they return home and we may look for other visitors in the future as a result." ing regard to the colonization of the north Country, as well as the earliest time in which the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way could possibly be put in operation, would best be achieved by carrying on construction on the Ferguson Transâ€" Canada highway some distance west of Hearst along the C.N.R. line, to a point conveniently situated from which the line could go in a southâ€"westerly direcâ€" tion crossing at the northern end of Longlac and proceeding on to Fort Wilâ€" liam and Port Arthur, joining the road which already extends towards the Niâ€" pigon Lake section from those cities. This prortsal would allow of immediate work proceeding from each end of the suggested road, the greater part of which would be comparatively easy of construction. A "A Sudbury Star despatch apmoearing in the Nugget intimated that President Wright of Temiskaming Associated Boards had expressed himself in favour of this Blind River detour. "I sincerely hope the Board of Trade did not commit itself to any tion such as Mr. Shaw advanced," said Ald Cherry. He claimed the only route that North Bay should be interested in is by way of the Ferguson highway, he considered North Bay should turn its back on any proposition that would lead to the construction of loops that would mean diverting the traffic through other points. "North Bay should stand firmly behind the Ferguson highway as the route through Northâ€" en Ontario and I do not believe t towns along the T. N. O. will support any compromise route, Ald. Cherry stated. PANAMA VISITORS GREATLY PLEASED WITH THE NORTH "I heartily concur in Ald. Cherry‘s opinion," said Mr. McDonald. "It was a coincidence that J. A. Laberge, presiâ€" dent of the Sudbury Board of Trade should happen along just when Mr. Shaw was advancing the compromise proposition to the Board of Trade. Mr. Wright may have difficulty in conâ€" vincing the Northern Ontario munlciâ€" palities on the compromise route," he said in conclusion. t was a great day at Hamilton, Ont., when the British Empire Games were opened; a day of sunshine and smiles, as is shown by the above picture of four distinguished Canadian citizens in the viceâ€" regal box.

The story further suggested that a car from this section was responsible and the driver of the car had driven on without stopping to see what harm he had done. Then came further details saying that the motorist had been arrested at North Bay and was being charged with murâ€" der. An odd feature of the stories was the fact that they differed materiaaly in detail but all seemed to agree that the permit examiner at Latchford had been hit by a car. So far as the truth of any of the stories was concerned it was still more odd that the police did not appear to know anything about it at all. It turns out that there was a grain of truth in the rumours circuâ€" lated but not a very big grain at that. Probably as brief and complete an acâ€" count of the matter as possible will be found in the following paragraph from The New Liskear Speaker last week:â€" "Various stories were circulated around town during the past week concerning an alleged accident at the bridge at Latchford, where all motorists going south are required to stop for travelling permits. It was currently reported "that a car had struck the permit man, and had deliberately gone on without any delay and that after the injured man had been taken to the hospital he had died."
