Death was due to stomach trouble, all possible care and skill being unavailing to save the life of this popular young lady. The late Miss McKinley was about 24 years of age. and had resided in Timmins for about two years, coming here with the family from Nova Seotia. In addition to the bereaved parents, two sisters survive. and to these and the other near relatives and friends the sincere sympathy of all is extendâ€" ed. The funeral took place on Friâ€" day afternoon to the Timmins Baptist church and to the Timmins cemetery, Rev. M. R. Hall conducting the serâ€" vices.

The Timmins store is to be at 16 Pine street north, opposite the post office. The store has been under reâ€" pairs, alterations and improvements during the past few weeks, and is now distinguished by the red front adopted by the Dominion Stores. BIG STORM PUTS OUT THE FIRES IN RED LAKE AREA For some weeks past there have been continued reports to the effect that there were bad forest fires in the Red Lake area. These reports, in some cases, suggested that prosâ€" pectors and others in the country were menaced. Men _ coming down from Red Lake, however, discounted all these rumours. While admitting there were fires in the area, they pointed out that none of them were of serious sweeping proportions and that there was enough burnedâ€"over terriâ€" tory around the places. where the bulk of the inhabitants at present are ‘thatmore or less protection was given from sweeping fires such as devastated northern Temiskaming on oceasion, Now, however, prospectors returning from the Red Lake area bring still betiter news.

Touching on Hon. Mr. King‘s reference to the Customs Sceandal as a smoke sereen by the Conseratives, Major Lewis said that Mr. King was well acquainted with smoke screensâ€"not overseasâ€"but in a political way. Major Lewis said the real issue was clean, safe, sane, solid, stable government He did not critiâ€" cize the Liberal party, for whom he said he had the highest regard, but he brought home the ‘‘Customs Seanâ€" dal"‘ to the King cabinet. In 1923, 1924 and 1925, Hon. Mr. King had his attention called personally to the great wrongs going on â€" smuggling, theft, ete..â€"and he had done nothing until Hon. Mr. Stevens foreed the issue in the House. Major Lewis inâ€" stanced cases from the parliamentary report showing fraud on the Customs Dept., theft and the sale of stolen goods with the connivance of Customs I officials, run running, etc. Mr. M. M. MacBride, M.P.P., of 3rantford, made one of his typical fichting addresses, handling some inâ€" terrupters with courtesy, tactâ€"and finality. He also had the odd humoâ€" rous story that he told unusually well. As he started one story, a vorice from the gallery said, ‘‘Why don‘t you run a show 2 "‘I might,‘‘ he answered ‘‘if the comedian would come down on the stage here.‘‘ On another occaâ€" sion another questioner interrupted a discussion of unemployment with the question, ‘‘What did Meighen do?"‘‘ Mr. MacBride used the question to emphasize the fact that Hon. Mr. Meighen‘s Government had passed an act for the relief of unemployment where the Dominion paid dollar for dollar with the municipality and the Province to help the situation, while Hon. Mr. King had taken the act off the books and had left municipalities and provinces to carry all the heavy burden. Referring to the rumour that Hon. Mr. Massey had been, asked to be the Liberal candidate in this ridâ€" ing, Mr. MacBride roundly condemnâ€" ed any such dickering or logâ€"rolling. He thought Mr. Bradette should have considered the nomination as a sacered trust and obligation not to be barâ€" gained with, Mr, D. Laprairie denied that there had been any dickering or bargaining. Mr. MacBride dared the gentleman interrupting to state exâ€" actly what had occurred. From the columns of The Toronto Star of 29thâ€"‘‘Mr: King‘s Bible,"‘‘ Mr. Mac« Bride termed itâ€"the speaker quoted to prove from Hon. Mr. King‘s own words that there was no constitutional issue. ‘‘At the present time there is no government,‘‘ Mr. King had said, ‘‘and some one must assume the resâ€" ponsibilty of advising the Governorâ€" General.‘‘ Hansard further showed the fact that there was no constituâ€" tional issue, except in Mr. King‘s wounded va@nity. _ Touching on the Old Age Pensions question Mr. Macâ€" Bride showed that Hon. Mr. King had voted against such a bill in 1925. There was not a cent provided in the budget for Old Age Pensions proving conclusively that the Government had not intended to enforce the bill, so it was nonsense to talk about the Senate killing it. The Liberal party had done practically nothing for the workers, with the possible exception of the Lemieux Act. They were enâ€" titled to the doubtful gredit for that Arthur Meighen is pledged to undertake the passage of an Old Age Pensions bill, the speaker said. The meeting concluded with the singing of the National Anthem. RICHES IN MILLIONS ON ALL ® SIDES AT SIOUX LOOKOUT.
