For A Bigger And 'Better Haileybury _ = Vol. 25, No, 21 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1929 Subscription $1.50 per year -- Pioneer of the North | Passes at Toronto Milton Carr Was First Merchant of Cobalt and Prominent in Public Affairs Residents of this district were deeply grieved this week to learn of the passing of another oldtim-! er of the North Country, in the person of Milton Carr, pioneer merchant of the Cobalt silver camp and a man well known and well liked by all. His promin- ence in the life of the North is well outlined in the following sketch of his activities from The Toronto Star: "The death of Milton Carr, one of Canada's picturesque and best known'itizens, occurred yester- day at Toronto General Hospital, after a brief illness, at the age of seventy-one. The late Milton Carr was born in Oxford County, Ontario, but when still a young man in his teens he moved to Parry Sound, where he started a career that was to embrace almost every ac- tivity synonymous with the growth of the North Country, from politics to merchandising. Mr. Carr was elected as a provincial Liberal member for the riding of Parry Sound. When the Ross government was swept from power by the late Sir James P. Whitney, Mr. Carr retired from active political life and confined his labor to the lumbering busi- ness in the district. He later moved to Cobalt, where he carried on the first gen- eral store in that town. Being in the thick of the mining boom, it was only natural that he became interested in the North Country, with which he was still identified _at the time of his death. A lover of Canada, there were few Canadians who have travel- led the country to the same ex- tent as did Mr. Carr. Only a year or two ago, the pioneering spirit still surging in his veins, he made atrip of. 600 miles up the Peace river with a small party, explor- ing that section of Canada. Everywhere he travelled he made friends fast and through his magnetic personality he retained them. The aged Canadian spent last winter in Oklahoma, returning to his summer home at Powassan, Ont., where he was seized with heart trouble. He is survived by five daugh- ters, Mrs. (Dr.) Porter, of Tim- mins, Mrs. Grisdale, of Kirkland Lake, Mrs. Wilbur Sullivan, Mrs. William Asseltine and Mrs. Chi- nooth, of Watford, Ont., and two sons, Charles and Russell, of De- troit, Mich. . A temperature-of 54 degrees in ttt water of Lake Ontario was considered too cold for the mara- thon swim at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition yesterday and the big race was postponed until this afternoon. Signs International Agreement Lord Byng, in his capacity of Commissioner of Police of Lon- don, has concluded an agreement with M. Chiappe, Chief of Paris police, to w ork together in curb- ing the activities of international bandits. Burglars Get Little in Shoe y¢ Repair Shop Only Coppers ereand ¢ in Till at A. Mino's When Marauders Go Through Window The shoe repair shop of Albert Mino, on Main Street, was bro- ken into last Friday night by some person or persons, whose identity has not been established. There was little or no loss from the burglary, as nothing of value that could be easily carried away and disposed of is kept there Entrance was gained througha window in the rear of the build- ing, one pane being broken and the window stops pried off to allow the sash to be removed. A broken file was left lying on the window ledge, evidently having been used to pry off the stops. Mr. Mino had left nothing but coppers in his till and these the robbers had apparently spurned, as they were scattered over the shop. One was found in the win- dow through which the maraud- ers came, two others were laid up on the counter on top of a re- ceipt that had been taken out of the till and the others thrown a- round. Five silver quarters in a small box on a shelf were over- looked by the robbers. So far as he can judge, Mr. Mino says, there was nothing taken from the shop. Identification badges with a number corresponding to that on their hunting licenses will be is- sued to all hunters this fall, ac- cording to an announcement by the Ontario Game and Fisheries Department. No hunter will be allowed into the bush unless he is wearing the official badge, the purpose being to prevent shoot- ing of deer and moose before re- ceiving a license and to put an end to the exchange of licenses. a $1.75: Both for FERGUSON AVE.

The show is being held in the arena this year and, while it pro- bably looks smaller than usual on acount of the size of the building, the exhibits are of a superior quality to those of last year, the difference in the seasons being plainly evident. Among the exhibits of cut flowers the display of dahlias and gladioli takes a prominent place. Some of these blooms are of a class seldom, if ever, seen in a Haileybury show on previous oc- casions. The dahlias are enor- mous in size and the coloring of many of the specimens is superb. The Glads are in a great variety of colors and show remarkable growth for the short seasons of the North. Other cut flowers are to be seen in profusion, including sweet peas and roses that would be hard to beat in any section of Ontario. . There are some fine vegetables on display, not in the quantities that have been the rule at times, but of a very superior quality to the casual onlooker. In the children's section there is also a fine exhibit of both flow- ers and vegetables and the boys' handicraft and girls' fancy work both show that the training of the youth of the town is not be- ing neglected. The work of the women's branch of the*society is well dis- played in one end of, the building. Here may be seen fine examples of needlecraft, tempting displays of cooking and canning, and all the various forms of the domes- tic arts that baffle the descriptive powers of a mere male. x A particularly interesting e+ hibit is a collection of dahlias and sweet peas grown by Wm. Mc- Kay, at Ragged Chutes, which have been carefully tended by him all summer during his spare time there. Mr. McKay takes a great pride in his flower garden and his efforts to spread the gos- pel of floral beauty in the outly- ing points are appreciated very much. As is the custom, the judging was completed yesterday after- noon and the exhibition opened to the public at 4 o'clock. It will remain open until nine tonight in order that all may have the op- portunity of a visit: The judges were, as usual, out of town ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Kerrigan, landscape garden- er for the T. & N. O., judged the floral exhibits, Mr. Nixon, of the Department of Agriculture at New Liskeard and Mr. Stephen- son, editor of the Liskeard Spea- ker, the vegetables and gardens, and judges of Ladies' Work were Mrs. Montgomery and Mrs. Wil- lars, of New Liskeard. A complete list of the prize winners will be published in The Haileyburian next week. panes Sa A aia Roy Curthoys, of Buffalo, aged 19, was drowned in Lake Temag- ami on Thursday last when he was out swimming with a party of Buffalo youths in the vicinity of Bear Island.

Elk Lake Town Again om Celalieation Held to Mark Turn- ing on of Current After Dark Months On Friday, August 23rd, the Northern Ontario Power Com- pany completed the installation of their modern and up-to-date system of lighting in the thriving town of Elk Lake. Since May, 1928, when the old power dam of the Elk Lake Power Company was washed away, the town has been practically in darkness, but owing to the sane, business fore- sight of the Township Council, an advantageous and businesslike proposition was put before the Power Corporation, who under- took, without any financial obli- gation on the part of the Town- ship, to instal for the ratepayers, a street and house lighting sys- tem. Previous to the Council signing a contract, it was the wish of the Power Corporation that their rates should be --sub- mitted first to the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission, in that every individual should be assured of a fair deal. [These rates, which are the stan- dard charge in all towns in the North Country, are exceedingly $1.00 is removeable as soon as the volume of business warrants it. The town has issued no deben- tures, nor assumed any indebted- ness, the Power Corporation un- dertaking the sole responsibility for the financial part of the instal- lation. The by-law to grant a franchise to the Northern Ontario Power Company was carried by the ratepayers on April 22nd, and in the surprisingly short time of less than four months, the Power Corporation have installed their plant, erected their poles and wired the town. There are Street lights, with special atten- tion given to the main thorough- fares and when the lights were turned on, it was universally con- ceded that Elk Lake will be the Gest lighted town in the North pCountry.- To the Reeve, Mr. John W.

Victorian Nurses May Hold Cobalt Conference Regional Meeting Likely to be Held in Silver Town in September The town of Cobalt will likely be the meeting place for the sec- ond regional conference to be held in Ontario by the Victorian Order of Nurses next month, ac- cording to an article in the Tor- onto Mail and Empire. It is stated that Miss D. M. Percy, of Ottawa, who is in charge of the exhibit of the Order at the Cana- dian National Exhibition, says that the silver town has been chosen for the conference. Miss Percy said that the first conference of the Order for the discussion of health problems was held last year in Hamilton. "Northern Ontario is taking a keen interest in public health," she stated, "and Cobalt is séek- ing to hold a conference there for the districts in the north. Dur- ing the month of July a new dis- trict for V.O.N. service was op- ened in Kirkland Lake, chiefly for bedside care and some instruct- ioanl features." Miss Percy further stated that the Order now has between 280 and 300 nurses serving in 72 dif- ferent centres throughout Cana- da and that of these some 37 are in Ontario, with one of the larg- est services of all carried on in Toronto.
