ALL FORMER DIRECTORG OF BEAVER VOTED OUT During the past few weeks the af â€" fairs of the Beaver Consolidated have been discussed in the press with conâ€" siderable freedom. The discussion has resulted in libel suits and threats of libel suits. Accordingly the anâ€" nual meeting of the shareholders was a matter of more than passing interest in this North Land. A despatch from Toronto last Thursday says that the board of directors of Beaver Consoliâ€" dated Mines, Ltd., was voted out of office by the shareholders at the anâ€" nual meeting that afternoon, and reâ€" placed by a new board. _ The vote came after a rather heated session during which the old board, headed by President F. L. Culver, was atâ€" tacked for spending $60,000 on a proâ€" perty known as Beaver Auxilhnary. Heated Session at Annual Meeting With Sparking Criticism Flyâ€" ing Like Sand and Gravel ST.CHARLES | MILK D. B. Hanna, Toronto and J. B. Tyrâ€" rell, Toronto. The personnel of the old board was : F. L. Culver, F. C. Finkelstaedt, R. Graham, J. A. MceCausland, R. G. O. Thompson, James Prior and W. H. Alderson. The new board is composed of Hume Cronyn, London; R. G,. Thomâ€" son, Toronto; J. C. Height, Waterloo ; A. C. Matthews, Toronto; C, A, Birge, Hamilton; A. J. Dalton, Kingston ; Many who have been following the matter do not belive that the affair is over. In fact, they would not be surprised at any startling developâ€" ments. The Beaver Company are the main holders of Kirkland Lake stock, and it was stated by those in opposition to the old board that Kirkland Lake treasury stock had been sold to pay for work done on Beaver Auxiliary. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CORNISH FPOOTBALL CLUB The despatch goes on to say that before the final vote was taken D. B. Hanna, one of the new directors severely criticized President Culver, ©The shareholders have been placed toâ€"day in an asinine and ridiculous position,‘‘ he declared. *‘‘We ask the president how many shares of Kirkâ€" lank Lake have been sold, and he doesn‘t know. _ We ask him what price was realized and he says he doesn‘t know. â€" Was there ever before such an exhibition of inability?" Mr. Hanna characterized the meeting as a ‘‘Donnybrook Fair,‘‘ and stated that there was an utter lack of abilâ€" ity evident on the part of the presiâ€" dent. Mr. Hanra announced later that he held proxies representing 56 per cent. of the stock. The old board refused to answer questions put by Mr. Hanna during the meeting and retired withâ€" out giving any opposition, not even counting the proxies. as a All interested are asked to note that the annual meeting of the Corâ€" nish Football Club will be held in the Town Hall on Friday evening of the next week, Oct. 29th, commencing at 7 p.m. prompt.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO CORRESPONDENT URGES® COMPLETION OF MGMWA Then you continued on in your ediâ€" torial to more Northern Development â€"opening up the country, etc..â€"but you did not emphasize ROADS enough. We need a road to North Bayâ€"a real roadâ€"sand and gravel, and more gravel than sand. Someâ€" thing like only TWO MILES has been done this year getting us through to Swastika. At that rate it will take over tem years. A real road programme where contracts were given and men actually put to work would not get us through to the Bay \before 1929. Get a highway south to North Bay and you will see real blossoms in prosperity, and of course development will be its pal. If we had more Porcupine spirit and less Timmins, Schumacher and South Porcupine, we‘d put ourselves across with the Government on this and other vital subjects. We have always lacked this community spirit and will be penalized until we wake up and get together. Real Community Spirit Would Put it Over..Also a Word or Two About Jack Munro The following letter was received this week from an oldâ€"time supporter of The Advance.â€" My dear Editor:â€"I admire your paper. Whenever I‘m due a payâ€" ment I feel it‘s an investment in spirit as well as news. Also I‘ve alâ€" ways liked the name ‘Porcupine‘; it shows long ago you caught the vision of this Camp, for when things are written that is the name which will be stored in memory‘s gallery. In your issue of the fourteenth you gave a strong editorial for Hon. G. Howard Ferguson. You caught the ‘*Temperance Question‘‘ properly by saying ‘‘when used as a main issue has never done anything but ruin the party that adopted it.‘‘ You could have aforded to go a step further by saying no party can afford to be aâ€" gainst prohibition because it would stamp them as being in favor of drink. Editor Pogecupine Advance, Timmins, Ontario. Now to switch a moment to column of ‘‘When you and I were young Maggie,‘‘ which you introduce ‘*‘Ten Years Ago in Timmins!‘‘ You said some nice things of Jack Munro, but really Munro never fought Corbett, in fact I don‘t think he fought Sharkey unless it was after Jeffries broke the sailor in their Coney Island gruel. Munro managed to stay a few rounds with Jeffries while he was on a barnstorming trip and then the miner was cleverly boosted to a championship fight which fell a dud. Yours truly, ‘"MThe Silent Member."‘ We would be in a better position if we had fought that war ourselves without dragging France and Engâ€" land into it.â€"Tribune.

STRAWBERRIES OFFERED FOR SALE AT NEW LISKEARD to a wire inquirity received from that point by H. H. Carr, local agent for the Canadian Pacific Express Comâ€" pany. The vendor indicated he was in a position to supply the berries in marketable quantities and at a price in keeping with offerings made by southâ€" ern growers. While instances of unâ€" usual growths at outâ€"ofâ€"season times has been often reported, the fact that strawberries have been gathered and markéted , in October in Northern climes, is rather exceptional and lends strength to the claim of northerners that the settled sections of Northern Ontario have long since passed the colonizing stages. The district surâ€" rounding New Liskeard has been long known as particularly well suited for general farming and the development of the industry in that section has been the means of attracting attenâ€" tion of southern landsmen to such an extent that the northern districts, reaching even beyond Cochrane, have fast developed to be selfâ€"contained, inâ€" soim as farm pwducts are concernâ€" ed."‘ Nh Strawberries grown in Northern Ontario in October has not been exâ€" actly unheard of, but to have the fruit in marketable ‘quantitids for outside dealers is a new one. â€" The North Bay Nugget last week says :â€"â€" "Strawberries, fresh and luscious, were offered on New Liskeard market on Tuesday of this week, according Next thing, Jim Ferguson will 2e running for governor of Texas just to vindicate Ma.â€"Cleveland Times. \\Give your Child a .
