PHONE 58 HAILEYBURY heavy traffic between the three towns, the Northern Development Department has undertaken the job of oiling the gravel roads be- tween Cobalt and New Liskeard. A contract has been let to the Bituminous Spraying and Con- tracting Company for the-work and a start was made yesterday when the stretch between Hail- eybury and North Cobalt was covered. Today the oiling is be- ing done between here and New Liskeard and on Friday the sec- tion between Cobalt and North Cobalt will be completed. The distance to be covered with the oiling process is approximat- ely eight miles, according to W. R. Thompson, engineer in charge of this section of the highway. It will require 20,000 gallons of oil, or about 2,500 gallons per mile, and a large tank truck is being used. The material, which is technically known as "asphal- tum", is sprayed onto the road surface by a pressure system and the one treatment will be suffic- ient for the season. For the benefit of motorists who find that while the oil is fresh on the roadway a certain amount of it may be picked up by the cars, it is stated that a little gasoline will remove it quickly and easily from the wood or met- al of the vehicles. The traffic is particularly heavy on the stretch of highway be- tween the three towns. A count of the motor vehicles taken at the week-end shows that on Sat- urday, from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m., a total of 1,340 passed a given point in North Cobalt. The num- ber the sam¢ hours on Sunday was 1,339. The.dust preventate ive measure will be welcomed by all drivers. , STEEL STRUCTURE OF LANG STREET BRIDGE NEARING COMPLETION The steel work of the new ov- erhead bridge at the Lang Street crossing in Cobalt is now well under way, the centre span, 84 feet in length, having been placed in position last week. For the placing of the heavy girders a T. &N.O. crane was secured and the work carried out without diffic- ulty. The approaches to the bridge from each direction are al- most ready for traffic now and when the steel work is finished nothing will remain but the lay- ing of the concrete floor. The bridge is going to bea handsome _ structure, with its white cement piers of a graceful shape and the red steel upper works. It will both eliminate a particularly dangerous crossing and lend a touch of beauty which is otherwise lacking in that local- ity. ORE SHIPMENTS Seven cars of ore were shipped from Cobalt mines during the period ending July 10th, accord- ing to the statement issued by the T.&N.O. Railway. The total weight of the shipment was 559, 860 pounds. The Mining Corpor- ation shipped four cars to Mar- mora, while the Nipissing shipped three to Montreal. ay eS le i li le il ee ln alan le all atta a : The Week's Weather ! elincnllin-alinsalia oli alle aie alle alee ne aS Max.

It had been reported that one man had been killed and a number taken to hospital wounded and that the riot assumed considerable pro- portions. The fact that' there was a dis- turbance and that a number of the provincial police suffered in- juries led to the exaggerated re- ports. The statement of the In- spector is to the effect that on Monday evening some hundreds of men, who had been to the place provided for their supper, stopped in front of the town hall to take up the matter of their position with the municipal authorities. While the crowd waited on the street, a motorist attempted to drive through and the police of- ficers, among whom was Con- stable Ralph Crozier, of the pro- vincial police force, tried to clear a way for the car. In the con- fusion the men apparently re- sented the efforts of the police and the motorist to force them te! stand aside and stones were thrown, some of which struck Constable Crozier on the head. His head was cut and the injuries necessitated his being taken to the hospital where sotne stitches were put in. The crowd dispersed without further trouble, it is stated. The tow nof Cochrane has been suffering throughout the summer with numbers of men who have been attracted there by the work heWig" carried on further 'north. Thes® developments, while ein- ploying large numbers, cannot take care of nearly all those who flock in. The town has been sup- plying two meals a day to those who. cannot take care of them- selves, it is said, and they are sleeping wherever they can, many of them outside. The number in the crowd which was involved in the disturbance on Monday was estimated at 700. MAJOR GEO. COLE MADE COMMANDING OFFICER ALGONQUIN REGIMENT Haileybury friends will be in- terested in learning that Mr. Geo. E. Cole, well known mining man and head of the Manitoba Department of Mines, has been gazetted as Lieutenant-Colonel and has been formerly appointed to command the Algonquin Reg- iment, succeeding Mac. Lang. The announcement, as published in the Ottawa Journal on Tues- day, is as follows: Major G, E. Cole has been pro- moted to the rank of Lieutenant- Colonel and to command The Al- gonquin Regiment, with regim- ental headquarters at Haileybury Ont., vice Lieutenant-Colonel M. Lang, who has been transferred to and appointed to command the 2nd (Reserve) Battalion, replac- ing Lieutenant-Colonel D. M. Brodie, who has been transferred to the Reserve of Officers. Lieut- Colonel Cole proceeded to Eng- land with the 159th Battalion, C. E.F., in October, 1916. He served in France and Belgium from Dec- ember, 1917, to March 1919. idays were in evidence, both in the attenrance and the amount of | business the Hamilton, before meeting. | Mayor Councillors | Bell, Mrs. Houston and Gagnon| made up the number and the bus- iness was concluded about 9 o'} clock. Mr. Geo. Poppleton, of the| High School Board, asked the! council if they would provide a} sidewalk on Florence Street lead- | ing to the entrance to the new mining school and described the | location of this and another nec- | essary piece to make the sur- roundings proper. He said that the excavations for the new build- ing and the grading of the street would make the place very mud- dy in wet weather and it was the| hope of the Board that walks | could be put in before the school term commenced. The council} discussed with Mr. Popleton the | possibility of putting in cinder| paths or wooden walks, but he| did not think either would be sat- | isfactory. About 350 feet of walk | was required and the cost had| been estimated by the town fore-| man, Jos. Police, at $750. The | shortage of finances was pointed | out and, after a general discus- sion, it was decided to let the matter stand until the return of other members of council, when if necessary a special meeting will be called to deal with it. Mr. Alex. Johnston, Albert St., interviewed the council in regard tOn a tenant who left a house of his in an unsanitary con dition and he had had to pay the garbage collegtor for cleaning up He could not persuade the tenant to pay him, he said, and he sought the aid of the authorities. It was held that the sanitary by-law was not quite clear and the council decided to arrange an interview with the town solicitor, Jos. A. Legris, when Mr. Johnston and the chief of police will go further into the question. A letter from Hon. W. A. Gor- don informed-the council that he had taken up the question of the airport here with the Minister of Public Works and was doing all he could to press the matter, al- though the present struggle for economy in all departments made it difficult to get any appropria- tions through. Mr. Gordon also wrote in regard to the proposed ferry at the Old Mission, stating that department will call for ten- ders and a contract will be let. Both sides of the lake would need to join in the request, the Minis- ter pointed out, and the council decided to apply for this service and at the same time notify the other municipalities concerned, that they may do likewise. There was some discussion over an account for $2,181.20 from R. J. Shannon, for gravel and crush- ed rock for the streets, and it was pointed out that this covered the new cemetery road, recently completed, and some of the grav- elling on other streets. The price was $1.85 per yard for gravel and 85c for crushed rock. The bill was passed for payment. In the police department it was arranged that Chief MacGirr would have his annual two weeks holidays in August, the chairman of the police committee to ar- range for a substitute. The chief was also given authority, at his own request, to move the road signs on which the speed limit is set out to the outskirts of the town. The resignation of R. Y. Camp- bell from the Cemetery Board was received, Mr. Campbell's reason being that he found it im- possible to attend the meetings of that body. The Council decid- ed to leave the appointment of his successor for the next meet- ing. Councillor Gagnon called. at- tention to a dangerous place on Georgina Avenue where the sidewalk across a ravine has been damaged and the protecting railing has fallen away. It was decided that temporary repairs be made to the railing and the walk left for a later decision. There was no action taken by the council on the invitation received from J. W. Curran, of Sault Ste Marie, to join in a conference on Northern Ontario municipalities at that city in August, for the purpose of forming a General Council of New Ontario. Some_ general discussion on various topics concluded the meeting. Reports to the effect that Con- stable Ralph Crozier, who was hurt in the disturbance at Coch- rane on Monday, was dead, are not correct. Word from Cochrane this morning says that he will be out of hospital tomorrow. N otice re N oxious Weeds ' TOWN Chap. 309, Sec. 3, R.S.O.
