Tuesday evening the delegates were banquetted ‘by the South Poreupine Board of Trade, as noted in the last issue of The Advance. _ Wednesday the business sessions were held and considerable business dealt with, inâ€" cluding a number items that have been hanging over from previous meetings. The slate is now practically clean for the April session. The quarterly meeting of the Assoâ€" ciated Boards of Trade, with Presiâ€" dent D. L. Jemmett presiding, met at South Poreupine last week, with a Among the important questions disâ€" cussed last week were:â€"fire ranging, elevators along the T. N.O., better local mail service for this part of the North, immigration and the settlement of the North Land fre ight rates, the price of wood fuel, a House of Reâ€" fuge for Temiskaming, and other questions affecting the North. Mr. John MeFarlane, of New Liskeâ€" ard, sbrought up the need for grain elevators along the T. N.0O.. There were over 2,000,000 bushels of grain grown in Temiskaming last year, and the farmers must have some place to store their grain as they could not compete with the south or west. A committee was appointed to take the question up with the T. N.0. and see what can be done about it. A discussion on the price of wood brought on a discussion of the high freight rates, especially ‘between local points. ([Mr. Wallingford pointed out that it cost over $50.00 to send a car of lumber from Mattagami to the Dome Siding, less than six miles. The Associated will ask the T. N.0. to make special concessions for firewood, lumber and farm produce, similar to the rates for pulpwood, said to be half of the rate on firewood tor example. The mail service bhetween loacl points wasfstrongly eritized. It was suggestâ€" ed / that the local boards along the Poreupine and Iroquois FPalls hranches zo into the matter with a view of findâ€" ing a remedy. There was criticism of the immigraâ€" tion policy of the Ontario (Governâ€" ment in discouraging immigrants from coming to the North Land before spending a year at least in Old Onâ€" tario. It wias pointed out that such a provision was notâ€"practical in view of the difference in climate and condiâ€" tions in~the old and new parts of the Province. There was a lengthy discussion on fireâ€"ranging and allied subjects. Even tually it was moved ‘by ‘Mr. F.IM. Wall ingfard, seconded by Mr. C. V. Gallâ€" agher, that every district chief fire ranger be employed by the Governâ€" ment the year round in his and that he have full authority, to decide when the fire rangers shall com mence work and when they shall be taken off, and that he shall also have the right to employ men of his own selection.. This view will be strongly urged upon the (Government. Communications read from Chairâ€" man Geo.

Refereoncee was made to the necessâ€" ity for better financial support of the Associated Boards of Trade. ‘The new President, Mr. King, has been a consistent and persisten workâ€" er for the Board of Trade since its es tablishment.

This should not worry Fournier, for ne made amends soon afterwards wirth a lone rush. The whole of the Falls team tried to stop him but failed, even to Corbould.. MceGuire got the next turn.

At first in this period the Falls had the edge mak ing a desperate effort to redeem themâ€" selves. Fournier was the first to find the nets in this period, scoring in 1 minute 5 seconds. Baridon was ‘thoroughly tested out and made some great saves. He had luck as well as skill, though his luck had nothing on Corbould‘s horseshoes in the eariy part of the game. Baridon shkowed up well and the crowd was delighted with his good work. Fournier, MeGuire and Cameron kept things lively in this peâ€" riod, as in the others, while ‘Brydge, Fluker, Fahey and Boucher worked hard for the Falls. Lafrance, whose play all evening was good, in combinaâ€" tion with Boucher and Brydge, figured in the second score for the Falls, Faâ€" hey, nine minutes after, scored anâ€" wther. Chireoski and Fahey made a determined attack, but Baridon saved. Boucher, Fahey and Fluker, in nice combinatioon work, gave Baridon a lively time but he was equal to the ocâ€" and made a nice save. Fahey on his lonesome scored the fourth and final count about three minutes before the gong. Boucher, for what appeared to be a deliberate foul in buttingâ€"endâ€" ing Don Campbell in â€"the face, was put in the ‘box. Don was earried off the ice, but he is O.K. again now.â€" Every man on the Timmins team put up a wha‘le of a game, clean, cleâ€" ver hockey., The stickâ€"handling of Me Guire and Behan featured the evening, ‘their work being unusually effective.

From every standpoint this banquet is acknowledged to be one of the most pelasing of its kind ever held inâ€" the North Land. The hall decoraâ€" tions were attractive and the tables, so well set, were a delight to the eye.

Burns made so great an appeal to the people because he expressed for them the hopes, ideals and nipsioarinteaterâ€" fi @D edlygr and inspirations that they. could not express for themselves, Through a number of quotations from the poems of Burns, the toastmaster showed that the outstanding features of Bugns and his poetry were ‘*Liberty,"" ‘‘Indepen dence,"‘ ‘"Home Life,"" ‘*Cheerfal Mumor,"‘ ‘*Hatred of Snobbery and Hypocrisy,""‘ and ‘*The BrotRkerhood of Men.‘‘ Following the silent reâ€" sponse to the Immortal Memory, the Caledonian Choir gave a very effective rendition of the Fantasia of Burns Songs, the number making a decided hit with the audience.
