The Sign of Musical Prestige LIEUTENANTâ€" GOVERNOR TO CONTINUE FOR A TIME His Honor Henry Cocksutt has conâ€" sented to continue as Lieutenantâ€" Goâ€" vernor of Ontario until Premier King returns from the Imperial Conference. Hon. Jas. Robb, acting Prime Minisâ€" te, announced last week that, in view of Mr. King‘s visit to England, the Premier had requested Mr. Cockshutt to remain at Government House until he could return to Canada and have an opportunity to consider with his colleagues the appointment of a sucâ€" cessor. This means that the new Lieutenantâ€"Governor will not be apâ€" pointed before the month of Decemâ€" ber. gram,. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS, ONTARIO. ‘"It is understood that two or three small mills of this kind are to be inâ€" stalled in Shining Tree this winter. Power will then be available at a fairly low rate via the transmission line which the Ontario Government is running. from Gowganda into the camp, and it is thought that quite a few small mines may develop."‘ SMALL MILLS MAY HEL DEVELOPMENT OFP ‘*Northern Ontario is likely to see a new type of mining before long, which may revive the possibility of small operating interests. _ Perâ€" fection of tiny mills 4s opening up a new prospect for the prospector with small capital on properties where narâ€" row highâ€"grade veins are exposed, which have possibilities at depth. No other coâ€"educational institution equals matrimony.â€"New York Teleâ€" Usually when a mine in this North Land reaches the producing stage it bas little difficulty in securing suffiâ€" cient eapital to finance any plans it may have. It is while it is a mine in the making that the chief difficulty is encountered. _ Many a small mine stays ® smalh mins for a long time than desirable, hecause of the necesâ€" sary expense entailed in equipping it for extended operations. This apâ€" plies particularly, perhaps, to gold mines. A new plan, however, proâ€" mises something approaching a reâ€" volution in this regard. This is the small mill idea. With prospects prgâ€" mising and a small mill actually ‘prg- ducing the chances for extension would be good indeed. In regard to this small mill idea, a recent issue of The Toronto Telegram says :â€" CONSTIPATION FIGâ€"LAX Send 25¢. for trial box.

This phase of the question has been taken up on more than one occasion by the Associâ€" iated Boards of Trade of this North, and the last time it was pressed there was the promise that relieving legisâ€" lation was in progress of preparat®on,. It may be noted in passing that when this question was taken up by the Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade, the muniâ€" cipalities did not take as much interâ€" est as they might. Its advocacy was left to some individual members of The care of indigents and the eost thereof, and the paying for the same, have all for years been problems to many ofâ€"the towns of this North Land. The question has two features.. One is the fact that people drift into the larger towns when they are in need, or give the names of the larger North Land towns as places of residence when entering Southern institutions. Thus certiain towns,â€"notably Timâ€" mins, Cobalt, Haileybury, Liskeard, Cochrane and South Poreupine, are charged with fees for indigents that they jare not faily chargeable with. Thig‘is something that towns in the South also have to contend with, and it : would appear that any remedial legislation must be secured by the towns in general in the Province. There is one feature, however, pinches only the towns of the North. That is the case of people coming from unâ€" organized sections of the North. Scores of these people drift in to the towns of the North in the course of a year and become charges on the municipality in one way or another. There is no fair reason why Timmins, for instance, should supply hospital accommodation or burial costs or upâ€" keep for men from all the unorganâ€" ized townships ih this big North. Yet enough in thhefi nujmhmhesmhm such imposition has been common enough in the past. When a man is starving or dying, or dead, something must be done by somebody, and the nearest townâ€"seems to be always a Hope to Discuss Indigent _ . Question With Dr. Godfrey Municipalities Have Requested Conference at North Bay in this Matter That Has Been a Problem for the North Towns for Several Years. Timmins ‘‘This decision was reached at a preliminary meeting of the municiâ€" palities held here yesterday, and atâ€" tended by the mayors of North Bay, Haileybury and Cobalt. â€" After an informal talk over the situation, drawn from experience in these three communities, it was decided to meâ€" mporialize the minmster and ask him to set a date for a conference, at which the whole question can be threshed out. Notification of this intention will be sent to the councils of Timâ€" mins, Cobalt, North Bay, Sturgeon Falls, Sudbury, Copper Cliff, Sault Ste. Marie,, Fort William and Port Arthur. * } In reference to the conference of the Mayors and the question in genâ€" eral The Northern News last week says :â€" ‘‘With the hope that a general disâ€" eussion, in which representatives of the municipalities and the provinceial government will engage, on the proâ€" blem of indigents, as it affects the towns and cxtles of Northern Ontario, Hon. Dr. Forbesâ€"Godfrey, Minister of Health in the Ferguson administraâ€" tion, h been mv1ted to attend a meeting to be held in North Bay in the near future. The date will be left to the convenience of the minisâ€" ter, ‘""‘Rather than sepd a delegation to Toronto it was agreed to ask Hon. Dr. Forbesâ€"Godfrey to come to North Bay as the most central location for the territory covered. Each of the municipalities mentioned willâ€" be notified later of the date of the meetâ€" ing, when word has been received from the Minister of Health. Indiâ€" gents and relief measures will be disâ€" cussed with special reference to conâ€" ditions «prevailing in Northern Onâ€" tario, the large number of townships that are not organized municipally and the severe winters. A. J. Kenâ€" nedy, M.P.P., for Temiskaming, also Boards of Trade argument was that the Government should pay for those from unorganized territory.\ The Government is the only one receiving fees and taxes from unorganized terâ€" ritory, and the people in such districts may well be considered as wards of the Government. Recently the Mayor of Cobalt, Mr. Frank Lendrum, who is also editor of The Northern News, has been keepâ€" ing the indigent question to the front, Recently a conference of municipaliâ€" ties of the North was called at Cobalt, but only three Mayors attended. At this meeting it was decided to ask Dr. Godfrey, Minister of Health, to come to North Bay and take up the quesâ€" tion fully. _ Whether Dr. Godfrey will be able to acceept or not, the kind inâ€" vitation to go to North Bay remains to be seen. The outcome will also be watched with much interest, as the matter is of very great iunportance to the towns of the North. _ and after washing them will be notified of the proposed conâ€" ference.

It was stated by the mayor here that a number of cases had been reported where men who were in no sense residents of Cobalt had been treated for sickness and the town billed for the cost of their upkeep, and Mayor George T. Hamilton, of Haileybury, and Mayor Dan Barker, of North Bay cited similar instances in thein respective municipalities. It had been intimated that New Liskeard and Teck, also probably Cochrane, would be represented yesterday, but their delegates did not attend. In reference to the marriage recentâ€" ly at Timmins of a former Sudbury young man, The Sudbury Star last week says :â€" ‘‘St. Anthony‘s church, Timmins, was the scene of a quiet but pretty wedding on Wednesday evening, Oct. 6th, when James Mechan, eldest son of Mrs. Rose Meehan, Cedar St. Sudâ€" bury, was united in marriage to Mildâ€" red,. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. Desjanais, Timmins. Rev. Fr. J. R. O‘Gorman conducted the ceremony. The bride was charming in a chamâ€" pagne crepe de chine frock with fox fur wearing a black picture hat and carrying a bouquet of roses. The bride was given in marriage by Mr. A. P. Dooley, of Timmins, while Dr. V. K. O‘Gorman, of Timmins, forâ€" merly of Sudbury, supported the groom â€" Following the ceremony dinâ€" ner was served to intimate friends at the grill room of the Empire Hotel, the toast to the bride being proposed by Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman, after which the happy couple left amid a shower of confetti and good wishes by train for Cochrane from where they proâ€" ceeded to Rouyn. Mr. and Mrs. Meehan has business interests."" ‘‘Town Clerk Harrington told the meeting that Cobalt‘s relief bill for the present year would run. over $3,600, some of this amount being for the maintenance of local cases. Mayor Barker said that relief cost North Bay between $6,000 and $7,000 this year. _ The latter elaborated on the original suggestion and declared that the problem in the case of North Bay had three phases. In the first inâ€" stance, there were the ordinary indiâ€" gents, men who drifted into the city looking for work or just released from jobs. Then the widows to zvive their children better educational facilities and whose allowances from the province had to be supplemented! by grants from the municipality. Thirdly, there were families where the head of ‘the house had been jailed for a B.O.T.A. and the wife and children had to be looked after by the city. He considered that, as the proâ€" vince got any fines paid in liquor cases, the province should take care of the dependents when the accused went to jail, ""It was pointed out by thhe mayor of Cobalt that, because so much of the district was unorganized termâ€" tory, the town and some of the townâ€" ships were faced with the problem of" maintaining indigents who came withâ€" in their boundaries, paid no taxes, GIRLS‘ BOWLING TEAMS SCORES FOR THE WEEK The following are the scores of the Girls‘ Bowling Teams for Oct. 14th: B.â€"M.
