The eleventh annual ball by the Timmins Firemcena will be held in the Masonic Hall on Friday evening, May 21st, 1926. Dancing at 9 p.m. Firstâ€"class music. The Firemen‘s Ball has always been one of the big social events of the year here. For the past ten years this ball has been noted for its interest and enjoyment. It has aptly and truthfully been reâ€" ferred to as ‘"‘the event of the seaâ€" son."‘ This year it will be up to the usual high standards in every way. Tickets are now on gale for the event and no one who enjoys a good time should miss this ball on May 21st. ELEVENTH ANNUAL BALL TIMMINS FIRE DEPARTMENT Sv.CHARLEs ST.CHARLES â€"MILM THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. weather continues to be the greatest puzzle of the century. Last weekâ€"end a snowstorm of fairly heavy proportions hit the north end of the district with all the eclat of a Februâ€" ary assault, while in these parts the shower of rain on Saturday evening turned into snow about midnight and continued to fall intermittently durâ€" ing most of Sunday.. Some more snow descended this morning here, but did not «last. The weather at Kirkland Lake on Sunday was so bad that neither Rev. Father Martindale nor Rev. J. F. Anderson could get through to Swastika fo conduct their regular services in their respective churches, the first time a break had occurred since the winter began. Elk Lake also was visited and again a snow plow stuck on the branch. However, the break up is on the way. There is lots of snow still in the bush and the lakes are frozen over yet, hut a Milberta farmer, John Samis, reâ€" ports that he is plowing in some places four and five inches ‘deep.

PRESIDENT‘S NIGHT MAY 14TH AT CALEDONIANS WEATHER LIKE THE "FLU‘ ALL OVER THE NORTH LAND This part of the North has had no monopoly of rotten weather. The mean weather has been as prevalent and widespread as the "‘flu.‘‘ Mayâ€" be, there is a connection between the two. Both have been so dirty that anyone would accuse either of being responsible for the other. If_ misery really does love company, it would be a melancholy delight for all in this particular section to read the followâ€" inng paragraph from the last issue of The Northern News, of Cobalt :â€" The regular meeting.of the Caledoâ€" nian Society of Timmins will be held in the Hollinger Hall on Friday evenâ€" ing of next week, May 1l4th. It will be the President‘s Night, the whole programme being in the hands of the President, Mr. W. D. Watt. Presiâ€" dent Watt is arranging a programmsée of special interest and merit, includâ€" ing vocal and instrumental musi¢, readings, etc. There will also be the usual refreshments, dancing, ete. A paper by Mrs. Patrick on one of Scotland‘s noted poets will be a speâ€" cial feature. The surprisérin these figures is the comparatively small revenue given by the Mines Department, when comâ€" pared with the known production figures. Something like $30,000,000 is quoted as gold production with aâ€" bout half this total generally acceptâ€" ed as taxable profit; the nickel and copper mines of Sudbury have been quoted as producing nearly as much value as t#e gold mines; these toâ€" gether with the silver mines, the License Fees, Acreage Taxes, Recordâ€" ing Fees, etc., seem to have ‘returned much less than usually anticipated. The Lands and < Forests continue to prove the chief revenue producer and it seems ironical to find this Chief dropping out in view of the manner he has brought his department to hear fruit for the Provincial coffers. The largest expenditure upon the North Country is the $5,000,000 anâ€" nual grant to the Northern Developâ€" ment and when it‘s taken into conâ€" sideration that figures for the Attorâ€" neyâ€"General Department are not quotâ€" ed in this resume but léft to take care of other administration not so profitable, it would appear that the Northern Development Branch apâ€" propriation is quite well warranted. Much speculation having taken place as to the amount of revenue being obtained from Northern Ontario by the Ontario Government, the followâ€" ing figures taken from the Public Acâ€" counts for the year ending October 3lst, 1925, will prove interesting: Mines Department all ~ Dept. Lands and Forâ€" @StS : ts .. 5,180,676 Dept. Acets. Receivable Dues, Ground rents, ete :i +s 2,854,081 Dept. Game Fishâ€" eries® s i# s1 :.2 709,455 Northern Districts paid in Corp.

N.O.~ Commussion, we have a fairly certain total of $11,â€" 615,157. In the last issue of The Haileyâ€" burian, Mr. W. J. Post, Reeve of Bucke, has an interesting letter reâ€" garding the revenue received by the Ontario Government from Northern Ontario. Mr. Post says:â€" No other car meets the ~_Better MLAUGHLIN ~BUICK Estimates Revenue From North Land at $ 11,615,157 Only\a Few Years Ago This Revenue Would Have Runi the Whole Province, Says Reeve W.

In the figures given by Mr. Post no notice is taken of the $100,000.00 or more paid to municipalities, through the royalty tax,{ wHich amount, of course, is altoâ€" gether apart from the usual municipal taxes. The Government collects the royalty and then shares it with the municipalities. The mines pay their municipal taxes direct, and then the royalty to the Government, the share going to each municipality from the (Government. ‘Contrast \ is made of the revenue from the mines and from the forest Andustries. The compariâ€" son is entirely â€"misledfding. The purâ€" chaser of timber limits is handed a certainty. The Government tells him exactly how much timber he is securâ€" ing and the quality of same. â€" He takes no chances on this part of the deal. If the Government, in the same way, would hand over mining: rights, stipulating the number of feet of ore and the grade thereof, it would so greatly relieve the minds of minihg men that it is likely they would be ready to pay nearly anything in the way of taxes. The mining industry, however, has to take all the risk, and naturally it can not ‘be expected that the industry should pay any extorâ€" tionate taxation if it does make good. The mining industry certainly is doâ€" ing its part, and more, in the upkeep of this country. Some citizens are apparently not clear-'ln regard to the closing of the public library on the weekly halfâ€" holiday, having the idea that the libâ€" rary might be open in the evening though celosed in the afternoon. It is hard to understand where this idea originated. The public library this year, as last, will close both afterâ€" noon and evening on the weekly haltâ€" holiday. * that the revenue given would save run the affairs of the whole Province quite comfortably, nor is it very long since the Province of Ontario containâ€" ed very much more appreciated wealth than the part of the Province which is producing this revenue can boa:t today.

From Red Lake digtrict there comes considerable objection to the plan anâ€" nounced at Timmins last week in reâ€" gard to having the mining recording office for the Red Lake area at Pine Ridge Portage. Prospectors returnâ€" ing from the Red Lake area say that the change will be a serious handiâ€" cap to all staking first at Red Lake. It would mean a good day‘s extra journey for them to record work this summer,â€"as well as being inconveniâ€" ent in other ways. _ They suggest that the Red Lake recording office be left as it is, and others added elseâ€" where if necessary.

It is confidently expected that there will a big revival of interâ€" est and effort in this Poreupine camp this spring.
