At a eonvention at Cochrane some days ago Mr. J. M. Labrosse was selected as the ‘*‘Wet‘‘ Independent liberal candidate for the North Ridâ€" ing of Cochrane. _ Mr. Labrosse is running against Mr,. A. V. Waters, the Conservative candidate. _ What the large body of the electors can not understand is how a man presumably opposed to the O.T.A. can contest a riding against a eandidate whose whole party is pledged to repeal the and substitute Government Control. _ The people of _ North Cochrane should remember that they can not vote for Government Control or the repeal of the O[T.A. unless they vote for the regular Conservaâ€" tive candidate.

RICHARDSON 38â€"50p GOLOEN HUB IGE CREAM PARLOUR DPENS SATURDAY Readers of the Advance will reâ€" member the keen interest taken some time ago in the contest put on by Messrs Mark and 8. Ansara when deâ€" ciding upon a name for a proposed new ice cream parlour and tea room in Timmins. The name finally decidâ€" ed upon by the judges in charge of the contest was ‘*‘The Golden Hub,"‘ and announcement was made that this new tea room and ice cream parlour would open some time in November., In an advertisement in this issue announcement is made that The Golâ€" den Hub will open on Saturday, Novâ€" ember 20th, at nine am. Those who took part in the nameâ€"choosing conâ€" test and did not win the prize will receive a box of Homeâ€"made Candy upon application on the opening day. All other customers making a purâ€" chase between 7 and 9 p.m. ~will also receive a box of homeâ€"made candy, Elegant and Wellâ€"Equipped and Upâ€" toâ€"Date. Free Gifts of Canâ€" dies to Contestants and Customers. The Golden Hub is opening in the premises formerly occupied by Rinn Bros., in the Gordon Block. The store has been refitted and remodelled, and is now probably the most upâ€"toâ€"date and best equipped ice cream parlour in the north. _ The tables are of the finest wood, and all are marhle topped, and all the other fixtures are of the best. The Golden Hub will be a splendid additiom to the business places in Timmins, and is a credit to Messrs Mark and 8. Ansara, the ]no- prietors, and to the town. TIMMINS ALSO NEEDS A BIGGER POST OFFICE Theâ€" New Liskeard Speaker last week sayy:â€"*‘Miss Ruby Sullivan, accompanied by her friend, Miss Ruâ€" by â€" MeCarthy, of Timmins, <«were weekâ€"end visitors at the home of the former‘s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sullivan.‘‘> "â€" The Cochrane News last week says: ‘"‘Some one says the Post Office at Kapuskasing is too small for a growâ€" ing town. It‘s up to the Government to enlarge the P. 0. or make the town smallerâ€"which is cheaper."‘ The same idea applies to Timmins, with the difference that on his last visit to _ Timmins <« the _ Premier practically promised this town a new â€"post office, ‘‘You should have a new post office long ago,"" said the Premier to the people of Timmins. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO There is evidence not only of the growth and progress of Kapuskasing town, but also of the development and advancement of the country round about the town.. For years past setâ€" tlement in the Kapuskasing area has been making valiant efforts to estabâ€" lish itself and despite many difficulâ€" ties and handicaps some pleasing measure of success has been achieved. The expansion of the town of Kapusâ€" kasing through the operations of the Spruce Falls Power Paper Comâ€" pany has naturally been of advantage to the settlers in the area, and will be of still further benefit as time goes on and expansion continues. One of the recent evidences of the growth of the farming interests is the recent move at Kapuskasing to organize an agricultural society for the district. â€" The project was brought to the attention of the Kapuskasing Board of Trade by Mr. L. H. Hanlan, of the Dominion Experimental Staâ€" tion. He outlined the aims, objects and usefulness of an agricultural soâ€" ciety, and the good spirit of the Kaâ€" puskasing Board of Trade was eviâ€" denced in the interest shown and the very evident desire for all to work together for the advantage of the district. The Board of Trade, from President Smith Ballantyne down and up, / took hold of the plan with enthusiasm, and twelve memâ€" bers signed up tight on the spot ‘for the new society. Rev. Fr. Lajoie, C. A. Gunentte, L. H. Hanâ€" lan and A. Belzile each took a list to to secure members for the proposed agricultural society, and it looks as if this coming year another enterprisâ€" ing and helpful fall fair will be addâ€" ed to the goodly list of good agriculâ€" tural shows in the North Land. ORGANIZING AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY IN KAPUSKASING Ole Olson, employed by the firm of Morrow Beatty, contractors, was killed at Smokey Falls last Wednesâ€" day. Information received at Cochâ€" rane last week was to the effect that the unfortunate man was working in the bush when a stick of timber fell on him, striking him on the head, and death being practically instanâ€" taneous. An inquest is being held at Smokey Falls this week. OLE OLSON KILLED AT SMOKEY FALLS LAST WEEK Sunday is ‘‘Italian Night!‘‘ at the band concert in the Goldfields Theatre after the church services, A speciâ€" ally good programme has been preâ€" pared for the occasion and those who remember last year‘s pleasing *‘Italiâ€" an Night‘‘ band concert will be cerâ€" tain that the event Sunday night will be an extra special.

GHAIRMEN OF COMMMTES OF THE GURLING GLUB Members and Convenors / of ‘the Various Committees in Charge \ of the Great Winter Game Iceâ€" Committeeâ€"Wm. MeCracken, chairman; A: W. Lang, A. E. Prout â€" COAT, VEST, WATCH AND OTHER ARTICLES STOLEN ‘\While Mr. D. Middleton and family were asleep in their home at 201 Cedar street south on Sunday night,' some person or persons entered the house and stole a coat and vest and ' the contents of the pockets, including a gold watch and chain and the certiâ€" ficate for some shares of Duprat minâ€" ing stock. . Attached to the watch chain was a ‘‘Mons Star‘‘ won by Mr., Middleton in the war. ~Entry apparently was made by pulling the staple out from the storm door, the inside door not being locked. _ The thief or thieves apparently knew the premises well, being Able to get into the house and leave again without disturbing the family. In the morning Mr. Middleton noticed that the storm door had been tampered with, but not finding any evidences of theft he dismissed the matter from his mind. Later, however, he found that the coat and. vest were gone, together with the watch and chain, Mons Star, and stock certificate. He would particuâ€" larly like the return of his coat and vest and Mons Star. . The police were notified and are looking now for the mean thief. The ninteenâ€"yearâ€"old young man, H. Garner, who was remanded for sentâ€" ence after pleading guilty to ,the theft of about $1500 from money takâ€" en in at ithe stamp wicket at the Timmins post office, on Thursday last was given a term of not less than a year nor more than two years less a day, by Magistrate Atkinson. _ The hoBe was suggested that if restitution is made the term may be materially reduced. Mr. Dean Kester, who deâ€" fended the young man, made a touchâ€" ing plea for lenieney, offering referâ€" ences from former employers as to the lad‘s previous honesty. The boy had handled some $65,000 while in the employ of the post oftice, and had only been paid at the rate of $90.00 per month. He had been supporting his widowed mother, and. the family would suffer the most from any severe sentence. _ The lad had gotten into bad company and had been gambling with older men, taking the money in the hope of retrieving his gambling losses. »«Mr. Kester also pointed out that while the taking of money had only been going on for some four months, there had been no proper checkâ€"up of the lad‘s accounts pracâ€" tically from the time he started eleven months ago. Mr. Kester conâ€" demned the employer for this and for the small salary paid. (Crown Attorâ€" ney 8. A. Caldbick, while regretting the necessity of the case, pointed oul that the taking of money held in places of trust was a serious matter and could not be condoned. _ Some degree=of punishment, he said, was necessary to deter others in similar positions of trust. _ The magistrate agreed with the Crown Attorney‘s able review of the case, â€"While reâ€" gretting the necessity of sentencing the young man, and while sympathizâ€" ing with the family who would unforâ€" tunately be the chief sufferers, the magistrate feltthat no other course was open than the imposition of a term that might prove a deterrent to others, SENTENCED FPOR THEFT OF STAMP WICKET MONEY Suliei'ior in Appegrance,'rone and Rangye Ask wour Dealer Westinghouse RADIO SETS An attractive field is offered to the prospector in Northern _ Ontarmo. Seventy per cent. of the entire northâ€" land is underlain with preâ€"Cambrian rocks, in which occur the nickel mines of Sudbury, the silver deposits of Cobalt, South Lorrain and Gowganda, the gold of Poncupine and Kirkland Lake, copper on the north shore of Lake Huron, and iron in Michipicoten and other areas. Ontario is now one of the leading sources of gold, being outranked only by the Transvaal and United States. In 1925 the production was valued at $30,207,545 over 83 per cent. of the entire output of Canada. The nickel mines of Sudbury produce 90 per cent. of the world‘s requirements of that metal. The silver output in 1925 had a value ofâ€"$7,084,864. Dividends and bonuses paid by gold and silver minâ€" ing companies to the end of 19M amounted to $140,289,729. Assistance is rendered by the Govâ€" ernment in the way of cutting trails, cleaning streams and building roads, in order to afford access to mining claims or areas, and where a district proves its ore deposits to be of sutfhiâ€" cient value and extent to warrant the expenditure, it is provided with railâ€" way .communication. The Temiskaâ€" ming Testing Laboratories at Cobalt are equipped to sample ores, and proâ€" vision has been made for the purchase of gold ore.
