GA Timmins, Ont. ‘The expe;:xence Tlmmms has not been as bad as that suggested by The Haileyburian. : Here the big majority of: ball-players ‘are simply good citiâ€" zens and good fellows who like play:â€" ing baseball. Baseball is simply a side line, a recreation and amusement, for them, Between games they go about their ‘business as usual. Many of them have to work just that much harder to make up for what they lose by p!l'ayino ball. AH they get out of it is the sport, and tliey put time and money into the game. This is the right type, and they make for clean and pleasant sport. However, there are always two or three of the kind suggested by The Haileyburian, and they give point to the idea expressed by the Haileybury newspaper. : e KIRKLAND AKEâ€"SWASTIKA â€" BOARD OF TRADE OFFICERS The annual meeting of the Kirkland Lake and Swastika Board of: Trade was held last week, and the following officers elected for the year :â€"â€" ‘Presuientâ€"â€"-erd W.

Connaught, o Siniftie, o e inlie?. )c a fio“ving steadily and surely, with the prospects excellent for rapid and Solid zsrowth in the near future. Connaught regidents questioned recently regardâ€" ing the population at Connaught had no assessment or other figures to base replies upon, but their estimates might be conservatively averaged as around 300. _ j $s 0. Railway. The St. Maurice Co. has a rossing plant and mill at Connaught, The Company did not cut this winter, ibut loaded out, about half a hundred men tbeing employed dm‘mw the season. With the improved prosâ€" pects for the pulp and lumber indusâ€" tries, these two concerns may jbe exâ€" pected to expand operations this year. Connaught seems to have things on the dowble or twin plan. The two leading industries have ben mentionâ€" ed â€"-the Woollings and St. Maur*ce compames,â€"â€"and it is on tiwo lines of industry,â€"mining and Jlumbering,â€" that (Connaught places its ~hopes of prosperity (and: growth. Connaught also has two â€"stores, two restaurants, two poolrooms, two churches, ‘The Union church has its own building, but the Catholic church is held in the school. Connaught, by the way, has a ereditable public school, unde1l the capa’ble charge of Miss Ullyot Thereâ€"are 70 pupils on the roll. The Imperial Bank opens its branch in the ;Woolmws Co. office once a week. Conâ€" naught is served not only in education al and financial ways, but also in good provision for the care of the sick and injured. Connaught has a cottagse hosâ€" pital, wellâ€"equipped, and under the very capable care of ‘Dr. Day The striking success made" by the Porcupine Peninsular Mine and the gerteral reviving of interest in the Night Hawk Lake area is adding to the progress and importance of Conâ€" naught. All traffic to the Night Hawk area passes through Connaught, and the town has been particularly affectâ€" ed by the growth of the Porcupine Peninsular. The recent taking over of the Dan O‘Connor properties by imâ€" portant findneial interests also proâ€" mises assistance to. the growth of Connaught. Those who know the Dan O‘Connor claims have great faith in them, and as the money for their deâ€" velopment is now in the ‘bank and ‘plans under way for an early start on ‘extended exploration and development work, there are good grounds for opâ€" timism. _ | y iss ut The meeting and dance of the A.S.

The device cannot be operated nor the car started by an Lnauthomzed person without causâ€" ing an alarm.
