Needham on Trip Across Canada by Motor Car Recounts an Advenâ€" ture With a Big Bear West of Hearst. H. F. Needham, the Toronto motoris:!, who is at present on an auto trip across Carada by motor car and who for the past three or four weeks has been batâ€" tling his way through the unbroken country west of Hearst, has been heard from again this week. The last word from Mr. Needham comes from Ameâ€" son which is some fifty miles or so west of Hearst. Needham is understood to have reached Ameson on Tuesday of this week. It seems to have taken him a long time to make the fifty miles from Hearst to Ameson, but it should be remembered that he has had ic either cut down the bush or take a chance on getting stuck in the lower lying ground where the trees are so plentiful. It would appear that the muskeg has been chosen as preferable. That, perhaps, is why Needham has been delayed so often and so long by getting mired. Accompanying Needham on the trip is one of the bestâ€"known prospectors and explorers of the North Land, Gus Mcâ€" Manus, of Hearst, a former mayor 0: that town and wellâ€"known as a pionesr in the North. Mr. McManus is genâ€" erally credited ~with being the firsi prospector into the Red Lake area som> years ago before the big rush. He knows the North Land very thoroughly and is an expert in the bush and on the trail. If Needham makes sucâ€" cess of the trip, there is little dou»: but that a large measure of the credit will be due to Gus McManus and his knowledge and skill. i Reference was made in The Advancse last week to Needham‘s car being mirâ€" ed in the muskeg two or three times Ssince leaving Hearst. Had he been able to choose his route through the heavily wooded section he would have found the going much easier and more rapid. As it is, however, he is not doâ€" ing so badly and he believes he will yet make the trip across Canada withâ€" in the time set. He has unfortunately encountered an unusual amount of rain since leaving Hearst. With four inches of rain in four days, as an exâ€" ample, it has naturally bseen heavy goâ€" ing, ‘with everâ€"present dangers of beâ€" ing mired. According to the accounts from Ameson Needham is not at all discouraged. "If it should freeze," he writes in the message brought out by ‘ foresters, "we will be in Winnipeg on lschedule time or before." i l ! i 1 Continuing the message says:â€""I had my first tussle with a bear the other day. She was in the grub box. I went out to shoo her away. She reâ€" fused to be shooed and made a pass at me. Resultâ€"one dead bear, one torn coat and one scared man. "We are going to use the pelt forâ€"a radiator cover on cold nights." ther parts of the message from Needham are quoted as follows:â€"â€" "The Nova Columbia successfully traversed another half mile through treacherous muskeg toâ€"day, the first progress since held up several days by rains. At times the car was riding on its crankcase. At any moment you would think the car would sink out of sight in the bog holes. They were layâ€" ing 40 to 1 up here that the Nova Columbia would not come through, but I am proud to say I think it will. It took more punishment toâ€"day than the average car takes in a lifetime. "It is 9 o‘clock and McManus has got the grub ready. The mentfl toâ€" night is fried duck, fried mushrooms, and cranberries, tea and jam. This is the first real meal we have had since we started. It has been one long dose of oatmeal, bacon and bannock." sSHOWER GIVEN IN HONOUR OF MISS GERTIE WHITTAM A shower in honour of Miss G. Whitâ€" tam was held at the home of Mrs. Walâ€" ter Wilkinson. 47 Cambrai avenue. Many beautiful and useful presents were brought to the event. A dainty supper was served by the hostess to a large number of friends, the majority of the guests hailing from Daltonâ€"inâ€" Furness, Lancashire, the brideâ€"toâ€"be‘s native town. Thse evening was spent with music and games. Mrs. Webber delighted everyone with her songs. THIEVES ROBBING TRE 6AS CACHKES IN THE RORTH LARKD Ontario Air Service Suffering from Aggravating Form of Theft, Plans Being Made to Catch This Type of Thief. Some time ago The Advance made reference to the trouble encountered by the Ontario Air Force in protecting the caches of gas and oil necessary to establish in various parts of the North for the use of the Forestry Service planes and other purposes. For a time this summer the thieving seemed to be checked but according to word from Toronto this week the practice seems to be started again. There are several individuals in Norâ€" thern Ontario who are enjoying the use of large quantities of the best grade of gasoline free of charge. If Capt. Roy Maxwell or any of the provincial air service men get their hands on these individuals, they will enjoy the hospiâ€" tality of the province free of charge for long periods. Gasoline thieves are infesting the lonely spaces of Northern Ontario where provincial air service planes are stationed. At various places large quantities of gasoline are cached for the use of airmen and it is from these depots that unethical dwellers of the north secure their gasoline gratis.> Hundreds of gallons of valuable fuel have been stolen and no trace has been foud of the thieves. Capt. Maxwell received a report from Quebec Harbour on Michipicoten Island which in his own »» language was "the last straw. "We built a strong log cabin near Quebec Harbour and placed several barrels of gasoline inside," said Capt. Maxwell. "We secured the door with the strongest lock we could find and decided that nobobdy wasâ€"going to take this supply of gasoline."

At police court this week P.\ Laâ€" brache, who was charged with the theft of a motor car from the Berini Motor Sales, and who was brought back from Kirkland Lake where he was found with the car, was committed for trial As the result of a row at a Fourth ‘avenue rooming house after a funeral, one man paid $100.00 and costs for ilâ€" legally having liquor. Another man concerned in the disorder was charged $10.00 and costs for disorderly conduct. on the charge. He will come up before the judge on the charge. Three common drunks were charged ten dollars and costs each. Two fines of $10.00 each were imposâ€" ed for reckless driving. on a charge of uttering a forged orâ€" der for liquor a local taxi driver was discharged, the case being withdrawn. Nick Bodlovic, on the charge of beâ€" ing drunk in charge of a car was senâ€" tenced to ten days in jail. Charges of the theft of gravel and trespass preferred against a local busiâ€" ness man by a settler near Timmins were remanded to next week. There were a number of cases in the Juvenile court, two of them being for failure to observe the court‘s order to report to the C.A.S. superintendent. The boys were warned to report reguâ€" larly and the cases adjourned. Anâ€" other lad charged with the theft of some rabbits was paroled for two months. PRODUCED LARGE QUANTITY OF POTATOES HERE THIS YEAR This year Chas. Pierce, one of the pioneer business men and lumber operâ€" ators of this part of the North, tried an experiment which proved a good success in one way. He went into potato raising on shares, with the reâ€" sult that from the Wilson farm just across the river, already there have been some 900 bags of potatoes gathered and graded ready for market, while there may be a hundred or more bags yet gleaned from the season‘s work. The potatoes are of the Irish Cobbler variety and are unusually fine speciâ€" mens. For quality it would be difficult to excel them and they have been harâ€" vested in the finest conditicn. On the other hand, Mr. Pierce says that the sale of the crop of potatoes has not been so easy. He points out that some of the local merchants and wholeâ€" salers are a little backward in giving local produce a fair show. They are inclined to pay as much for an outside article that is not so good as the local produce. However, Mr. Pierce has disâ€" posed of quantites of the fine potatoes grown, and is nmnot worrying any about the balance, as most of them can be used this winter in his own lumber camps to the satisfaction of all "In any case," says Mr. Pierce, "I could no: be saddled with the potatoes after havâ€" ing so good a success in the venture, for if I couldn‘t, do anythmg else J could give them away." To prove that he‘ was ready to give some of the pOl@â€" toes away, Mr. Pierce had a bag of the Irish Cobblers delivered at the Childâ€" ren‘s Aid Shelter, Timmins, where they were much appreciated, and where this standard of quality in potatoes will noi t last very long. } | | to the conventions the company held Toronto recently. derson, of the Tir the London Life C cate to the conven 1C6 of the Londo Timm TE
