A visitor to Timmins last week from Southern Ontario held to the opinion that Timmins was a town of beautiful lawns and wellâ€"kept places. He saw in many parts of the town beautiful grounds and lawns and flowers. But he also saw many ur/ tidy and unkempt ‘places. Yet he maintained that Timmins was remarkâ€" able for: its fine lawns and flowers. The real reason for this was the strength of a first impression. Comâ€" ing into town an absolute stranger, he stepped off the traim to see first the T. N.O. lawn and flower plot, and the little park in course of conâ€" struction. _ Then as he crossed the road his eye was caught by the beauâ€" tiful and well caredâ€"for lawn of the Kingston Hotel, with its fine showing of flowers. It was the Kingston Hotel lawn that made the lasting impression upon â€" him. ‘‘what . a beautiful lawn!‘‘*‘ he said, and all through his stay in town he carried a mental picâ€" ture ef that attractive spot. The inâ€" cident indicates the value of a wellâ€" kept place in leaving a good impresâ€" sion upon the visitor. The touch of beauty is also something to be prized by the people of the town. The more lawns and gardens like that of the Kingston Hotel the more Timmins becomes a better town in which to live. BEAUTIFUL LAWN OF THE KINGSTON HOTEL AN ASSET. REPRESENTINCG FINLAND AT WORLD‘S POULTRY SHOW The Finnish Consul (Jeneml in Caâ€" nada, Mr. A.

MacLEAN RUNNING AS INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE Mr. W. F. Mackean, the Dean of Parliament, is well known in the North Land where he has visited on more than one occasion, and where he has also interests in some mining proâ€" perties. _ Accordingly there will be special interest in the following stateâ€" ment issued last week by Mr. Macâ€" ‘*‘The North York Township Conâ€" servative Association (Willowvale), baving sustained the dedsion of its executive that the recent Conservative convention in South York was both illegally constituted and unfair and that they could not endorse the candiâ€" dature of R.

Lovers of music will be delighted to know that Timmins is to have a visit on September 28th from the Hart House String Quartette, whose wonâ€" derful programme of music here several months ago was such a treat to those who enjoy the best of good music.â€" The Kiwanis Club, who sponâ€" sored the previous visit are also arâ€" ranging for the event on Sept. 28th. Tickets will be on sale shortly for the big event on Sept. 28th and as on the previous visit of this gifted quarâ€" tette, The Advance advises securing tickets early as possible to avoid disâ€" appointment. There will be a probable shortage of 20,000 men needed to harvest the grain crops of the prairie provinces and the situation is serious, according to a statement by R. A. Rigg. director of the employment services of the Canadian Department of Labor. This shortage is after a second series of harvester traing from the Maritime provinces and from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec will have reached the west. In a final effort to get more men from the east another series of harvester traims will be run. (They will be from the Maritimes on Sepâ€" tember 3 and from Quebec and Ontaâ€" rio on September 4. ‘*The other scene was at Porquis Junction where Mr. Mackenzie King, exâ€"premier of Canada, kept T. and N. 0. Train No. 47 waiting for nineteen minutes while he and his friends arâ€" rived by motor from TIroquois Falls, said goodâ€"bye to their friends on the station platform and later caused a further delay while two of the party who missed the train at the station ran down the tracks and climbed aâ€" board. As a result of delays caused by the exâ€"premier‘s party the train drawing his private cars were nineâ€" teen minutes behind schedule leaving Porquis Junetion."‘ P .PORTED SHORTAGE OF â€" HARVESTERS IN THE WEST TIME NOT SO IMPORTANT TO ORDINARY STATESMEN ‘*‘Incidents which serve to illusâ€" trate one of the differences between a politician and practical business man occeurred recently, and though the scenes were somewhat removed the cireumstances were much the same. ‘‘A C.P.R. train was abut to pull out of Windsor Station, Montreal. It was the president‘s train. As the engine whistled, ready to go, Mr. E. W. Beatty was still standing on the platform _ chatting with _ friends. Promptly on schedule the train startâ€" ed to move. The president of the company stepped lively in time to aâ€" vord being left behind. Last â€"week the daily newspapers published a despatch from Swastika indicating the difference between statesmen and business men in regar( to appreciation of punctuality and the value of time. The despatch says :â€" _The present popular style in femâ€" inine attire, no matter how attractive and comfortable it looks, has been deâ€" seribed by a wellâ€"known local bank president as being like a barbh wire fenceâ€"it protects the premises but does not obscure the view. OQVER $157,000,000 FROM DIVIOENDS FROM MMES Some weeks ago the Bodston News Bureau published an article under the heading, ‘‘England Faces a Shortage of Gold."‘ This was written by Herâ€" bert N. Casson, of London, England, whose prominence as a financial auâ€" thority gave the article such prominâ€" ence that The Bulletin, issued by E. H. Walker Co., of Boston, Mass., took occasion to correct some misapâ€" prehensions likely to arise from omisâ€" sions in Mr. Casson‘s presentation of the case. In discussing Mr. Casson‘s article, The Bulletin says :â€" ‘‘The purpose of the article is to show a general decrease in gold proâ€" duction and in reviewing the situation Mr. Casson mentions the various goldâ€"mining districts of the world. For some unaccountable reason, howâ€" ever, he has ignored Canada comâ€" pletely, notwithstanding her gold outâ€" put is constantly increasing and will probably exceed that of the United States in another vear or two. One Third of This from the Porcu pine (Gold Camp Mines in Less Than 15 Years. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘‘In citing. several instances of deâ€" clining production Mr. Casson says. ‘*The famous old Robinson gold mine (South Africa), â€" which was the world‘s richest mine, is now about to go into voluntary liquidation. It is worked out after 37 years of unparalâ€" leled production. This one mine has paid $60,000,000 in ‘dividends. No other gold mine has ever reached this figure. It has produced 250 tons of gold, worth $125,000,000."" ‘*‘The record of the Robinson mine is brilliant, indeed, but it sinks into insignificance, when compared with that of the great HWollinger mine at Porcupine, Ont. In less than 15 years Hollinger has produced about $110,000,000 and experts say that she will produce half~ a million dollars down to 3,000 feet. _ Her dividend disbursements of the past 8 years agâ€" gregate more than oneâ€"half of the total paid by the Robinson during 37 vears. as shown in the table below. Expanâ€" sion is the general rule. Milling plants are being enlarged and new mines are coming into production, notably Premier Paymaster and Anâ€" kerite, while others are pushing deâ€" velopment work with plants in view. A small army of prospectors are loâ€" cating new mineralized territory and the entire area is the scene of great activity. Following is a record of total dividend disbursements to the end of July, 1926. ‘‘Other mines in the North Counâ€" try although operating on smaller seales, are enjoying like prosperity, ‘*Cobalt, South Lorrain and Gowâ€" ganda, silver mines have paid diviâ€" dends as follows :â€" Beaver Castleâ€"Trgthewey.... 14,000.00 11,540,000.00 .. .. ‘‘Poreupine gold dividends as follows Pome .‘ %.~. ..
