Mr. Shaw taook the same line as at the Kiwanis Club at Timimins the previous day, favouring for political reasons as he frankly said, the route that he had named . the Nicholson route. In the morning general business was cleared up so as to allow the afternoon for the Transâ€"Canada question. Resoâ€" lutions for road betterment, sponsored by Iroquois Falls were passed by the meeting. Mr. A. Simpson, Englehart, filled! the secretary‘s place for the day. Not only was there a large and representative attendance but the delegates evidenced keon desire to deal expeditiously with business, and there was special attenâ€" ion given to the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way question.

Reeve P. M. Copp, of ‘ Wickstead, pressed the claims of his home town of Hornepayne and pointed ;out that the route that would includ« | Hornepayne was logical, economical anc | feasible. Geo, A. Smith, of Cochrane |advised that the matter of route be \left wide open. "Let us say that we will be satisfied with any route the | Government engineers select," he said. Homer Sutcliffe, of New Liskeard, spoke | briefly but aptly on the question. The | eccmmittee left to draft the resolution ]from the several motions submitted by various boards had decided on the {resolution as worded. He pointed out that taking all things into consideraâ€" ition the route proposed by the resoluâ€" tion seemed the most logical one. The lreference to the need of feeders should isatisfy the towns like Sudbury, Chapâ€" leau, Blind River, etc. There was no doubt that eventually the Transâ€"Canâ€" adad highway would run from Quebec to British Columbia in a fairly straight | line. Others speaking to the motion | included:â€"W. A. Langdon, Timmins; J. A. Clermont, Cochrane; Mr. Atkinâ€" ! son, Smooth Rock Falls; Mr. Paton, ENorth Bay; Mr. Stephenson, Kapuskaâ€" |sing; Arthur Simpson, Englehart; H. Fine, Anscnville; and others When the vote was taken, the meeting was found to be unanimously for the resoâ€" lution as given above. The resolution is to be presented to the Ontario Govâ€" ernment from the associated boards. A resolution was moved by W. O. Langdon, and seconded by D. O‘Connor, giving expression to the deep appreâ€" clation felt by the Associated Boards for the great services of the late Geo. T. Smith, of Haileybury, the sadness experienced at his recent death, and the sympathy extended to his family. Similar resolutions were passed in reâ€" leau, though having 3,000 population had absclutely no connection by road to outside towns. All these speakers urged the associated boards to unite to compromise, by the adoption of a route that would be agreeable to them. They feared that if the North were not a unit on the matter of route, the building of the road might be delayed. Their general arguments were similar to those advanced by Mr. Shaw in his addresses on the matter. Cyril T. Young, of the C. N. R., also urged the idea of unity in the North. Referring in the treasury. Often he must have to bear unexpected calls out of his own purse, and this was felt by all the deleâ€" gates to be most unfair. There was a general desire to accept some new plan that would provide proper finances. The question was left in the hands of the president and executive to evolve ways and means and report to the next meeting as to what they recommend. In the evening the visiting delegates were the guests of the Cochrane board of trade at a social event and a very pleasant time was spent. All the delegates were very anyrreciative of the kindly hospitality shown them by the Cochrane people. of New Liskeard.â€"~The secretary was asked to send copies of these resoluâ€" tions to the families bereaved by the death of these fine citizens. son for this was that foolish figures, such as fifty million dollars and two Aundred million dollars had been quoiâ€" ad for its cost, which would defer it for 2 long time. As Mr. Shaw later showâ€" ed the fact was that the completion of the highway entailed a cost of only around $8,000,000.00 or less. Mr. Shaw said he started six months ago to study possible routes. At first he was of the opinicn that is too freely accepted in the South that the route along the north shore of Lake Superior was ths best one. Investigation, however, soon convinced Mr. Shaw that the cost of this route would be prohibitive and in addition it would be useless to advance seitlement. A second route suggested itself, this one following the Ferguson highway to Cochrane and thence to Hearst and west from Hearst to the foot of Lake Nipigon and then on to join up with the roads already built ou: from Kenora and Port Arthur, thus connecting up with the Manitoba sysâ€" tem of roads. A third route was proâ€" posed to run about straight west from Hearst to join up with the Maniâ€" (Continued on Page Five) Quoting from the letterhead he is using, Mr. Shaw said the trip from coast to coast in Canada via Cochrane is an independent nonâ€"political one, designed to secure publicity for the Transâ€"Canada highway. Again calling attention to the letterhead which showâ€" ed the equipment to ‘be used by the exâ€" peditionâ€"he said that he had patents on the trailer illustrated and this was the full measure of any personal inâ€" terest he had in any commercial way. In planning the trip the first thing to discover was the way the road should go. He regretted very much that the matter of the Transâ€"Canada highway was not receiving the attention it ~hould in the south. It was one of the nost important questions before the rountry ,he thought, but the people of ‘he south unfortunately did not seem iwake to this fact. Part of the reaâ€" The speaker for the day was E. Wharton Shaw, of Hamilton, who is planning a trip from coast to coast in Canada next year, the whole trip to be made under the use of the motive power with which the expedition starts out. It was about this projected trip that Mr. Shaw spoke and those present found his address most interesting and informative. Mr .Shaw used a large mart of the northern part of Ontario to make his remarks clear. This map was one he drew himself for purposes of the expedition and it contained much interesting information that he had gathered. The Kiwanis on Monday of this week proved especially interestâ€" ing and was well attended. The visiâ€" tors for the day included Mr. Mortson and Mr. A. L. Hancock, of Cochranse. Community singing was featured, Dr. Lee Honey making an effective leader and conductor for this piart of the proâ€" gramme. Kiwanian Jack Walker ably presided for the occasion and kept everything going with a swing all through the meeting.

The bride wore a gown of white georgette and her veil was arranged in cap effect, held in place with orange blossoms, and she carried a bouquet of sweetheart roses and lilyâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"valley. After the cereâ€" mony a wedding dinner was served a: the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest de Brabant, sister of the groom.

Mr. and Mrs. Henri Aubin will reside in Timmins. The day before, Sept. 14th, the briâ€" gade had another call, but a real one, the request to the firemen being a teleâ€" phone call at about 2.15 p.m. It was occasioned by a box of stuff behind a stove in the apartments upstairs at Jos. Ellies place on Third avenue. Fire started in this box and was threatening a serious fire. The firemen put out the blaze by the use of the chemical. About $25.00 damage was done, the loss being covered by insurance. On Monday the fire underwriters‘ inspector paid an unexpected call to town and sent in an alarm at 9.15 a.m. from the box on the corner of Kirby avenue and Pine street. The firemen were not expecting any calls from inâ€" spectors, but they are always ready for actual calls and responded accordingly. They made their regular prompt arrival at the scene, and still not aware that it was an inspector‘s call they had a line laid and water on in three minutes. They then came to the central part of the town and laid nine lines of hose and otherwise showed the inspector the efficiency of the Timmins fire briâ€" gade. Hydrants all over town were also tested out and the pressure found to ‘be excellent. PRETTY WEDDING, SEPT. 10TH AT ST.

He was one of a party of four boys who had been out with a Remington rifle. The other lads were Alex Kelanchuk, 11 years, John Kelanchuk, and Thos. Chorney, 14 years The boys went out to the bush past the Fesserton mill and young Chorney, who ‘had the Remington rifle, was doing 'some shooting. He fired five shots beâ€" ing careful not to endanger anyone, but then thinking that his ammuniticn !was expended he was taking the gun lapa,rt;, thinking it empty, when it disâ€" charged, the bullet passing through the abdomen â€"of Edwin Peterson at the right side.

There was a packed house for this, the feature atâ€" tracting one of the largest crowds ever turning out here for a boxing card. The evening‘s prograimme fully deseryvâ€" ed the attendance, being acknowledged to include tha best boxing seen in this ; North and equal to the best anywhore. ‘The feature bout was that between lJchn Keller, cof Montreal, Dominion bantamweight champion, and runnerâ€" | up for the British Empire ‘ship, and Roy Hamilton, of Timmins, | runnerâ€"up for the Dominion chamâ€" '1_\1011311113.

The boxing in this bout could :non be excelled. While Roy, on the ;decision of the judges and the audiencs ;fiwon the bout, there was nothing but ‘praise for Keller, who showed himself ‘a clever and effective fighter, though ‘perhaps, not as skilled a boxer as the lozsal boy, who wired in from the start.

The quality of all the boxing won murh | praise from aAll present. ‘There was _ also special interest in the wrestling. Perhaps the most popular bout in the wrestling was the clever one in th® Graecoâ€"Roman style between Eugene Laviolette and Donald McLauchlar. These two young men gave a very pleasing exhibition of classic wrestling The crowd liked it. The bout was a draw for the three rounds. There was ’ also much interest in the demonstration by Bob Lowery and Sergt. Weir of the Westmoreland and Cumberland style of wrestling. Messrs Lowery and Weir proved to be skilled and able exponents _of this class of wrestling and they won very hearty applause. While at work at the Hollinger on Tuesday morning the canting over of a rock resulted in a serious accident in which two men were injured. PF.
