MILLING PLANT BEING INSTALLED AT CLIFTON Theâ€" work of making the foundaâ€" tions for the mill at the Clifton Porâ€" aipine is now under way, and equipâ€" ment for the milling plant is arriving daily, all being under order. It is exâ€" pected that the mull will be ready to run this summer. Surface exploration work is ibetng carried on at the Clifton, and underâ€" ground operations will likely ibe reâ€" qumed in a week or two. It is understood that the sale of stock to provide finances has been sucâ€" cessful. The public seem to be warâ€" ranted in having faith in the Clifton because the directors have certainly shown their faith in the property. The sale of the 170,000 shares of treasury stock bas ‘been earried out without a eent of ecost to anyone but the direcâ€" tors,the latter paying all charges, inâ€" cluding the commissions.

It is understood that the former cheap rates for weekâ€"end trips are again to be in effect on the T. N. 0. Railway. Up to the present this has not ‘been officially confirmed, but it is understood to ‘be definitely decided and will likely be effective on the 10th. ‘The local station has mot yet been notified of such a change in rates. However, the fact that exeurâ€" sion rates were allowed on Saturday last for the Firemen‘s Tournament at Schumacher would indicate that the richt idea at last is again prevailing. For some time there has ibeen a strong popular demand for a return to the special excursion rate plan and the Canadian Passenger Association at a recent meeting in Montreal agreed on a general reduction of week end fares for summer resorts, piecnics, excursions, ecc. HOLLINGER OFFICE KEEPS UP THE WINNING STREAK In the Twilight League game ;durâ€" ing the weekâ€"end, Hollinger Office won from the OQrientals to the tune of 14 to 8.

For the Oriâ€" entals there were two pitchers. ‘The Office hit Jimmy Deacon quite a Dbit, so they put in Bill Pearce and the hitting steopped. Bill is credited with 2 strikeâ€"outs in two innings. Another feature of the game was the work of Bill Smith at the bat. This pineh ‘hitâ€" ter was pressed into the game when Bob Carmichael was hurt by being hit in the knee by a swift drive from a batted ball. Bill got three hits in three times up to ‘bat. Seully and MeCoy were the pitchers for the (Office. Johnny Destefano umpired the game with Bruce Pillsworth on bases.

A WESTERN STORY WITH AN ORIGINAL TWIST TO IT The motion picture show at the New Empire Theatre on Friday and Saturâ€" day of this week is "His Back Against the Wall.‘‘ It is full of laughs as well as thrills, being an oviginal variation of the ** Western‘‘ motion picture play. Instead of the hero who can split a table with a punch and who calmly faces odds of ten to one and downs them all, this story has a hero who is a meek, fright ened, timid lad who hesitates to swat a fly. Accidentally being present when bwo bad men are killed, he is eredited with putting the villains out of the wayr, and his explanations are taken as modesty. He is hailed as a hero. He falls in love, and the girl will not believe his story that he is "a coward and not a hero. Then someone says something about that same nice girl, and not a hero. TFhen someone says something about that same nice girl, and the hero forgets tie is a coward, and ‘‘cleans up‘"‘ in regular Fairâ€" banks hero style. The leading part is taken by Raymond Halton, who gives a clever characterization of an interâ€" esting role. The supporting cast is good, and the show throughout will prove one of the most enjoyable of recent offerings. Mr. Chas. Jemmett, formerly hbayâ€" g his home in Timmins, is being welâ€" comed back to the (‘amp by many friends here.
