In such competitions the competitors not ‘only have added incentive to study and practice, but they also have the advantage of having performances of the same ‘music by others.!

MUSIGAL COMPETITIONS Al TORONTO EXRIBITION North Land Well â€" Represented in Past Years. This Year Likely to See Many More Competiâ€" tors from This District. In past years the North Land has been well repréesented at the musical competitions: in connection with the Toronto Exhibition. This is decidedly a music loving.country, and its people coming from all walks of life and all parts of the globe, there is an unusual amount of musical talent here. Acâ€" Brdingly interest is specially high in the North in the musical competitions. It is likely that more than the usual nunfbher here will be interested this year, so the syllabus sent out by the Canadian Bureau for the Advanceâ€" ment of Music last week will be of particular interest. Friday evening of this week the regular meeting night of the Caledonâ€" ian Society of Timmins at the Hollingâ€" ger Recreation Hall will be ‘‘the Shewan Clan Night,*‘ the programme throughout being the hands of Mr. Wm, Shewan, who has prepared a programme of special interest and merit. Music will form a large part of the programmeé, but there will also be other numbers that will please all. It will be a rare night of good enterâ€" tainm®nt, and all Scots and Seotsâ€" women and their friends will enjoy it thoroughly. Refreshments will be served as usual and there will be dancing, ete. With the exception of the boys‘ and girls‘ classes, where the fee is 50c., the entry fee in each case is $1.00 which must be sent with the entry. In the vocal department, the classes are:â€"eoloratura soprano, lyric sopraâ€" no, dramatic soprano, mezzo soprano, contralto, lyrie tenor, robust tenor, baritone, â€" bass, boys (unchano'ed voices) and glrls (high voite and low vorce). At the request of the Canadian National Exhibition, the musical comâ€" petitions this year will again be conâ€" ducted by the Canadian Bureau for the Advancement of Musie. The competitions will be held in the amphitheatre of the Phonograph building, to which the public is welâ€" come without charge. The prizes are:â€"1st, gold medal; 2nd, silver medal; 3rd, bronze medal ; a $75.00 scholarship to the outstandâ€" ing contestant in each of the followâ€" ing â€" departments:â€" ladies‘ . vocal, men‘s vocal, piano, and violin. ~At a meeting of the executive of the Timmins Football Club this week it was decided to make one more effort to assure coâ€"operation and harmony with the several football clubs in town in regard to the T.F.C., the secretary being instructed to again urge upon the several clubs the need for tHe best of harmory and asking them to send two representatives each to sit on the executive of the T.F.C. SHEWAN CLAN NIGHT AT CALEDONIANS ON FRIDAY. In the violin department, there is an open class, a class open to outâ€"ofâ€" town competitors, and classes> for under 12 and under 16 years. The piano ¢lasses include:â€"under 9 years, under~12 years, under 16 years, and open, The cornet department has a deâ€" partment for, those under 18 years and an open{;é/lass. The Can‘«dian Bureau for the Adâ€" vancement of Music is a worthy orâ€" ganization upheld by voluntary_conâ€" tributions, and not in any way a money making concern. Its whole concern is what its name indicates,â€" the advancement of music in Canada. In the past it has done excellent work, and, this year as always lovers of muse will wish it all success. â€" STILL URGING GREATER COâ€"OPERATION IN FOOTBALL Any lover of music interested in the.competitions should write to J. S# Atkinson, secretary Canadian Bureau for the Advancement of Music, 229 Yonge street, Toronto, and they will receive syllabus, giving rules, selecâ€" tions, etc., and all details and parâ€" ticulars. > TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 22nd, 1926 The annual S.A. Selfâ€"denial Fund campaign so far has been confined largely to securing subscriptions from the business places of the town for the carrying on of the good work of the Army. Adjutant Crowe this week said that the campaign was going aâ€" long successfully, the response being generous. On May I1st. the regular house to house canvass will be startâ€" ed to allow all opportunity to contriâ€" bute to the funds necessary for carryâ€" ing on the Army‘s work of rescue and uplift. M GOOD RESPONSE TO THE S.A. SELEâ€"DENIAL I'UND Mr. Geo. Poppleton, a former memâ€" ber of the town council, was elected by acclamation last week to the place on the Haileybury town council made vacant by the death of Mr. Thos. Ashâ€" head. eonard Richmond, R.B.A.,R.O.I., the well known British artist is among the latest to succumb to the lure of singing the praises of the Cangddian Pacific Rockies. In Apollo, a magazine of the arts, Mr. Richâ€" mond writes of the Rocky Mountains as one of the most magnificent sights of the world. sR s ol hss ME e FELYT EW Towards the end of March 1925, the artist made his first journey into the heart of Canada. He writes, ‘"As the train advanced from Calgary, the "Foothills‘‘ of the Rockies gradually emerged in view, suggesting the appearance of a bodyâ€"guard, or sentinels, guarding the sterner mounâ€" tains beyond. ° "It is not expedient or desirable for me to describe in detail the emotional ascendingl scale that my feelings experienced as the train approached the actual Rockies themselves. It is enough to state that my highest imaginative thoughts had never visuâ€" alized so much impressive force and dignity as those austere mountains conveyed that late afternoon in March. Ee ECC ‘"‘The general color on that parâ€" ticular afternoon was monotone in effect. I have not seen any Japanese woodâ€"cut print that equalled the superb draughtsmanship of the finel designed groups of pine trees whic were almost black in tint, contrasting sharply against the virgin snow. his shows the British battleâ€"scarred tank, "America‘" which is being lowered into the Cunard freighter ‘"Vardulia‘"‘. The tank, which won immontal fame in France, weighs 29% tons, and is here shown being lifted from King George V. dock at London into the freighter for transâ€" portation to the United States, where it will find a final restingâ€"place on the camipus of Cornell University. The tank was presented to the British by New Yorkers through the efforts of Major. Louis Livingston seaman, one woman contributingâ€"$15,000 to the fighting machine. Reâ€" cently Major Seaman started a movement to have it presented by the War Department in London to his alma mater, Cornell, because of the large part Cornell played in the war. The tank is being given a military reâ€" ception upon its arrival. It ‘will be a permanent and uniqug memorial to Cornell men who died in the war. ' "‘The mountains of Canada suygest Famous Tank Becomes Memorial An Artist‘s View of the Rockies 4y Cathedral Mountain From the Â¥oho Valley many forms of expression for artists. In that respect they are probably unique. The intellectually endowed modern painter has scope enougn to create works of art, based on the innumerable suggestions of dynamic force, grim trafedies of form caused by ancient volcanic eruptions, and occult feelings, too, can be awakened by close contact and communion with the soul of the mountains. ~"It is impossible for any artist to sketch more than a fraction of such a vast area of varied subjects. .Once the artist is situated right in the mountains there is no occasion to‘seek for subjects or to walk any distance for desirable views. There is someâ€" thing interesting to paint from any angle. _ Lo% 4 _ ‘"Some of the most interestin pictures that I have seen recently of the Rockies are those where the artist has improvised in colour and form on the original theme in nature. By this means Nature can be made to look more natural in a picture and the artist‘s thoughts can be crysâ€" tallized into positive expression." Mr. Richmond, who painted a number of beautiful views, states that although Lakes Louise, O‘Hara, Moraine, and Emerald are famous in the lake world of Canada, he was intrigued by the smaller sisters, Lake Mirror and Lake Agnes, known as the ‘"Lakes in the Clouds," above Louise. MAYOR OF SIOUX LOOKOUT SAYS 2000 CLAIMS STAKED Over 2000 claims have been staked between Woman River and Clearâ€" water Lake, fOllowing the gold strike in that section of the Red Lake counâ€" try, according to the report made in Toronto last week by Mn Greer, the Mayor of Sioux Lookout, who was in the city with a view to having a reâ€" cording office opened at Sioux Lookâ€" out. Western prospectors are now flocking into the country, it is said, and they claim the rush will continue this spring in a northeasterly direcâ€" tion. ' Mr. M. Greer, former Chief of Police here, was called:â€" to Ottawa last week owing to the illness of his father and mother. He left for the East on Saturday and will likely be away for a week. at eleven on Saturdays and days beâ€" fore holidays. Under the new byâ€" law they will close at seven o‘clock ordinary nights and at ten o‘clock on Saturdays and days before« holidays. each business day of the week, exâ€" cept Saturday and the day next proâ€" ceding each legal holiday, between seven o‘clock in the afternoon and five of the clock in the forenoon of the next following day; (b) On 3Saturâ€" day and the day next precedimng each legal â€"holiday, between ten o‘elock in the afternoon and five of the clock in the forenoon of the next following day. The penalty for a breach of the byâ€"law is a fine not less than a dollar nor more than fifty dollars, together with costs; fine and costs may be colâ€" lected by distress and sale of goods and chattels, and failing such the conâ€" victing justice or magistrate may comâ€" mit the offender to jail for a period not to exceed 21 days. The new schedule of closing hours, while not inconvenient to the public, relieves the barbers from overâ€"long hours. The barber shops formerly closed at eight on ordinary nights and BARBER EACH EVENING AT SEVEN Except on Saturdays and on Nights Before Holidays. Byâ€"law to Go Into Effect on April 28th QUARTERLY STATEMENT OF DOME MINES LIMITED. The approximate statement for the three months ending March 31ist, has been officially published. During the three month‘s period, 135,100 tons were milled, of a total earnings of $1,024,094.61. The operating and general costs totalled $611, 8387.62, or at the rate of $4.529 per ton. .

The byâ€"Jlaw, passed on April 15th, by the Timmins Town Council, to reâ€" gulate the closing of barber shops in town, will go into effect on April 30th. It was passed following: a petition from the Master Barbers of the Town. Section 84, subâ€"section the Facâ€" tory, Shop and Office Building Act, R.S.0., 1914, Chapter 229, empowers the Council to pass such a byâ€"law. Under the 1)r0\'1q1ons of: the byâ€"law, all barber shops in Timmins shall be closed and remain closed: (a) On MAYOR INVITED TO JOIN â€" /~ MONSTER DELEGATION Further The Nugget says:â€"‘‘The anticipated rush of prospectors and tourists into Red Lake also promises a problem for the Forestry Departâ€" ment. Red Lake is in the Port Arâ€" thur district. Some time ago a petiâ€" tion was circulated among claim hoilders in Red Lake asking for speâ€" cial fire ranging service in that secâ€" tion. It was also proposed that the rangers appointed in the new area be authorized to issue permits to travelâ€" lers entéring the district with the obâ€" ject of keeping a check on the acâ€" tivities of strangers. It was also sugâ€" gested that the personnel of the staff be composed only of men who would be competent to deal with cases of sickness and accidents that may deâ€" velop on the trails and along the waterways. _ The Government, it is understood, has this matter nnder conâ€" *That the fireâ€"rangers will likely be as late as May 1st this year in startâ€" ing in their work, is the prediction made in The North Bay Nugget last week. Thg Nugget quotes Mr. Fred. Hamilton, Chief Ranger of Cochrane District as being of the opinion from many years experience. that special care will have to be taken this year in the forested areas. ; The past two seasons _ have been notable for heavy rainfalls in the dangerous periâ€" od. : Settlers and others were unable to dispose of their slash as in previâ€" ous years; with the result that two years accumulation of slash and unâ€" derbush remains over large sections of the country. Such accumulations form‘the worst menace to the work of rangers and is forever breeding fires in any dpry period which may oceur. Along with the heads of 300 or more other municipalities in Ontario Mayor E. G. Dickson has been asked to join in a big delegation to Ottawa to protest against the recent tariif changes â€" that threaten the country with serious loss and unemployment. The invitation has been sent out to all manufacturing and other centres interested and comes from Oshawa, where telegrams were sent out followâ€" ing a meeting of the Oshawa city council.
