Despite the fact that three out of the four newspapers in Toronto supâ€" ported R. H. Cameron for Mayor of the city for 1926, the favourite of The Telegram, Thos Foster won the race by 8,810 majority. A record vote, 88,732, was cast. Cameron seâ€" curing over 4,000 more votes than Mayor Foster secured in his election for mayor for 1925. «Although the vote was the largest on record, nearly twoâ€"thirds of the citizens failed to exercise their franchise. Cities, towns and villages seéem to be alike in Canaâ€" da in the neglect of the majority to take a part in deciding their own special affairs. Mr. Harry A.

PRESTON THOS. FOSTER RE ELECTED MAYOR OF CITY OF TORONTO Reports around town during the past few weeks have been to the efâ€" fects that protest proceedings were to be instituted in the hope of upsetâ€" ting the recent municipal election in ‘Timmins. . This week reports were current that such a protest had been actually fyled before His Honour Judge <Caron at Cochrane. to noon toâ€"day, however, the Town authâ€" orities had not received any notice of any such protest proceedings. Various engquiries and requests for informaâ€" tion would suggest that such proâ€" ceedings have been contemplated by some, but to date there is nothing really of’hcml The Advance underâ€" stands that the question was taken up with the Judge who explained the reâ€" quirements to the applicants. A cash deposit of $200.00 would be necessary, together with two sureties of $100.00 each, as evidence of good faith and responsibility. _ With these forward, the Judge would consider the question as to whether or not he would grant a a fiat for the hearing of the protest. If the fiat were issued, a date would be set for the hearing of the case. The Advance further understands that the applicants have several grounds on which to base their protest, the chief one being the claim that a numâ€" ber of citizens were wrongfully deâ€" prived of a vote through thebyâ€"law passed some years ago requiring taxes to be paid to qualify for voting. It is alleged that the date in the byâ€"law was later than the election and so the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Town Has Not Yet Received Any Notice That Any Proâ€" test has been Entered.

N. O. R. to call the embryo border town ‘‘Chiminis,"‘‘ the same as in the Quebec map. We are advised that from the startâ€"a week ago last Sundayâ€"there have been two trains daily running between Swasâ€" tika and Chiminis, and that stages â€"covered and heatedâ€"have cared for all the travellers. In other words, the T. N. 0.

The late Richard Preston was 64 years of age at the time of death, and had lived his whole life in the home he was born in on the River Road, Niagara Falls. CORRECT SPELLING IS NOT ‘‘CHEMINIS" that!‘‘ seem to have the sportsmanlike attitude and the one that will not cause the town any unnecessary exâ€" pense without probability of any adâ€" vantage. The large majority of the citizens will be irclined to hope that the matâ€" ter will be allowed to rest. A proâ€" test will mean unnecessary expense to the town with no good purpose served. Even were the protest to he successful it is not likely that any material change will be made in the personnel of the Council through a new clection. Several of the unsuccessful candiâ€" dates at the last election feel this and say that the people have certainly exâ€" pressed tlfeir opinion and that a new election will not likely make any change. Indeed, if the town is put to the expense of another election the verdict might easily be more proâ€" nounced against those responsible. At the same time it must be rememâ€" bered that the protest may easily be unsuccessful and all concerned thus lose unnecessarily. _ The opinion of the people in any event seems to be strongly for the present council, and the unsuccessful candidates who take the stand, ‘‘*Oh, well, the people have given their decision, and let it go at clause in regard to unpaid taxes could not be enforced last year. It is said that the necessary deposit has been collected and the sureties arranged, but as noted before the proceedings have not yet been actually inauguâ€" rated for a protest.

A very dainty lunch was served and all report an enjoyable time. Owing to lack of accuracy in our information we did not get the right account of the Christmas services in the Roman Catholie Church in time for last issue. These services were of a solemn. and impressive character. Midnight mass was celebrated by the pastor, Rev. Father Lagrevol. Shortly before midnight Mrs. Bizette sang * O Holy Night‘‘ in faultless style, with violin obligato, played by Mr. Colombo The church choir under the able direcâ€" tion of Miss Murphy rendered the mass‘ in excellent style assisted by a firstâ€"class orchestra of two violins and a saxophone. â€" The soloists, Mrs. Laâ€" forest, Mrs. Flewellen, Mrs. Bizette, Mrs. Cahill and Mr. Laforest deserve special mention for the finished manâ€" ner in which their solos were renderâ€" ed. The organist and choir members deserve much praise for their work, having surpassed the success of forâ€" mer years. Mr. J. Sarsfield, who has been actâ€" ing as Mining Recorder during Mr. Donaghue‘s absence, left this week for Haileybury. The Public School reâ€"opened on Jan. 4th, with a good attendance of pupils and all the teachers back in their places. Mr. Clarence Sloan is visiting at his home in Vintor, Que.

Sunday School in the United Church will begin at 2.30 p.m. during the winter months, instead of 11 a.m , as it has been up to the present. The annual school meeting for 8 S. No. 1, Tisdale,.was held on Dec. 30th. The annual reports read by Secretary M. Smith showed the school in very satisfactory condition, while the Conâ€" tinuation School also had made the best of progress. The Inspector‘s reâ€" port was very gratifying. Miss Burns, Inspector Marlin said, was an outâ€" standing specialist in Art and Music, and her work was second to none in the Province. The Inspector pointed cut that by Easter the accommodation for the pupils would be taxed to the limit and that a new classâ€"room would likely need to be provided. Mr. John Fell was reâ€"elected Trustee for anâ€" Other three years, the greatest appreâ€" ciation and praise being given for the valuable and generous services of Mr. Fell to the cause of education in this district. ~Timmins notified the Board that after June next they could no longer accommodate the pupils of outâ€" side municipalities. This will affect S. S. No. 1, so far as the class for University Entrance is concerned, and next year that class will be much larger than it is this year. Until the Continuation School here is changed into high school the fifth form pupils cannot be taught at home. We have the building and the equipment but it would be necessary to have specialâ€" ists in certain subjects to grade as a high school. _ Oncee we grade as a high school the pupils from Schumaeâ€" her and also outside municipalities could be accommodated here so long as there was room, thus spreading the cost of the extra staff required over quite an area, as it were. There were over fifty present at the meeting and no criticism of any kind was offered on the reports. During the past year there were 361 pupils enrolled at S. S. No. 1A Tisdale, 174 boys and 187 girls. _ The library has 2743 books, valued at $882.00. Other interesting items from the report are omitted beâ€" cause of lack of space.
