After .the fire his sole remain-,
ing assets were two bronchos that
had enough horse sense to ' get
into the lake when it got too hot
on shore. But even in the. water
the horses. , didnot escape. the.
m

these two animals_',went.

in the fire. •
Starting out again, Dalton '• used
his two .horses to pack provisions
and supplies from Golden' City
and South Porcupine to the Mat=
tamagi Rimer; where .they were
put on .boats for distribution.
' Days of Horse Transportation •
There were no automobiles ,or
trucks in the country at that,, time
and _provisions 'Were -either car=
vied, on the horses' backs o 'hal
ed by a "juniper" which consisted
of two poles or small logs turned
iip,at`the;ends with boards nailed
across to. make 'a platform. Tons
of provisions of all kinds were,
moved , about in this way.
The demand ' for Dalton service
increased until . he had more than
150 horses engaged in transport-
ing between the river and South.
Porch-- ire:--j-•--Securing the o d -
agency for Timmins in 1913,' he
b ought into the . North Country
ree Ford cars. He stored .them
until the . following' year,when
they were put into service. They
did not!lnow very much • about
autoinobiles in thosedays and the.
cars were not -equipped with self:
starters,. It was not unusual for.
two or three men to become thor-
bughly exhausted in trying to get
the cars started.,

associated with Mr. Dalton, was.

The/cars could be operated only

In 1915 the General Motors
ency was secured. by Mr. Sul-
anvfor: the Dalton business and
ree McLaughlin cars were add -
to the transportation system.
The Au.
Era•
The .entry, of automobiles into
the business began . the ex -it . Of
horses. For many years horses
were a necessity, in„ winter, but
improvements to cars and better
roads assisted the maintenance
of a winter automobile service.
A rapid growth in business re-
sulted. in the purchase -of three
busses in 1922 which were ()per,
ated between South Porcupine
Schumacher and Timmins reg-
ularly summer and winter, al-
though they often became snow-
bound in the latter season.
From -1922 and -1923- when the
first buses began to operate the
increase in the sizeof business
has been steady until 'now'there
are' thirty-one buses and a fleet
of cabs on the- road.
In11937 a town bus service was
instituted and is Still running ef-
ficiently. - Numerous itnproe-
merits and changes since then
have built up the Dalton trans-
portation
r.ansportation service'' until it is the
biggest in the North today. .
