MUNICIPAL CANDIDATES IN COCHRANE BY ACCLAMATION DEPUTY COMMISSIONER CUDDY Cochrane followed the same plan as Tisdale, Sudbury, Cobalt and other North Land towns last week by electâ€" ing all its municipal candidates by acclamation. F. iC. Ivy, is mayor, and T. H. Carter, Jr., 8. J. Dempsay, J . A. Duranceau, Louis Houle,. R. B. McGill and J. M. Penny, councillors. Election of public utilities comâ€" missioner and public school trustee were also by acclamation. The opening of three new Governâ€" ment liquor stores is announced for this North Land. The three are at Englehart, Sioux Lookout and Dryâ€" den. At the time of the announceâ€" ment the Government took occasion to explain its attitude in the matter of establishing the stores. The idea is to follow the policy in the North Land of supplying liquor stores, not so much with a view to the population or demand from the particular centre, but in consideration of the geograâ€" phical position. A survey of Northâ€" ern Ontario with its seattered popula« tion was made some time ago, and on this basis strategic points were picked for the establishment of stores. The stores at Sioux Lookout and Dryden will ‘be opened by the time this apâ€" pears in print, while the Englehart store will also be ready in a few days. Mayor Weeks, of Englehart, some time ago adopted the slogan, ‘‘A liâ€" quor store for Englehart before Christmas,‘‘ and it would appear that the Englehart mayor will have, his wish in this particular.. LIQUOR STORE GOING IN AT SIOUX LOOKOUT NOW It would be as much as anyone‘s life is worth to suggest that there is anyone that does not know where Englehart is situated. Sioux Lookâ€" out, however, having no _ Mayor Weeks, John Clark or C. W. Wright to wreak vengeance on anyone sugâ€" gesting that the town is not worldâ€" famous, it may be all right to say that Sioux Lookout is on the Canadian National Railways lines west of Cochâ€" rane and Kapuskasing. Hudson and Sieux Lookout are not yvery many miles apart, and they vie with each other as the gates of entry from the railway for the great Red Lake minâ€" ing area. There is no ttuth in the report that Dryden is goin; to change half its name when the liqijor store is established there. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER, STH 1927 / Only 49 Enrolled at Timmins High School Four Years Ago, Now 190 Registered, Says Principal J. W. Treleaven in Interesting Address to Kiwanis Luncheon on Monday. Kiwanis Club Officers for the Ensuing Year. Kiwanis Hear Striking Story of Progress of High School The speaker at the Kiwanis lunch eon on Monday was Mr. J. W. Treâ€" leaven, prineipal of the Timmins High School, and his address was most interesting and informative. The large attendance of â€"members present appreciated this excellent adâ€" dress very much. Mr. Treleaven sketched the history of the Timmins high school from the time he came here four years ago to the present. Four years ago the high school had an enrolment of 49 pupils. All the accommodation â€" comprised four rooms fitted up as temporary quarters in King‘s hall. ~An unusual feature of the registration was that the number at the end of the term was larger than at the beginning. Usually there are pupils dropping out through the term for various reaâ€" sons, and consequently the registraâ€" tion at the end of the term will be less than at the opening. In the case of Timmins high school this did not hold true.. At the end of the first term there were 53 enrolled, as compared with 49 at the beginning. Similar gains during the term have been shown during each term since. Last September there was an opening enâ€" rolment of 190. Mr. Treleaven outlined the steady growth of the school up to last year. Last year the necessity for increased accommodation had. to be faced, and the problem was dealt with, having also in mind the desirability of opporâ€" tunity for various lines of technical training here. The high school board had gotten in touch with Inspector Campbell of the Technical Schools A New Province for Canada? The above map shows the outline of the proposed new privince of Peace River, to include portions of the northern parts of Alberta and British Columâ€" bia. The irregular line at the southeast corner of this proposed area would cut off such territory as is naturally contiguous to the remainder of Alberta through topography and development of roads. The new province would include all the Peace River drainage basin, while in the western portion would be included the natural seaport at Prince Rupert, with an optional port at Stewart on Naas Bay. This proposal is reported to be backed by public opinion throughout the Peace River District. The people of this northâ€"counâ€" try are prepared to take drastie measures to secure railway development, which they have been demanding for a number of years, particularly with x:espect to an outlet to the Pacific coast, or to demand an opportunity to unâ€" dertake their own development. Through our engineers, and staffs in all important mining centersâ€"â€"we render a reliable mining service in addition to our brokerage service o v pine Aobance branch, and a survey of the town had been made, the expressed desires and needs of pupils and parents being considered. The Government _ had given hearty support in the establishâ€" ment of a technical school here in conâ€" nection with the high school. This had resulted in the securing of increasâ€" ed accommodation for the high school work and also the giving of _ the opportunity for technical education to the pupils here. Mr. Treleaven referâ€" red to the prompt action taken in the matter of the technical school. Inside of three weeks after the decision had _been made, the plans had been draftâ€" ed and approved, and the actual conâ€" struction work was under way. The total cost of the addition was approxiâ€" mately $175,000.00, a large proportion of this being assumed by the Governâ€" ment. Mr. Treleaven touched on what would be taught in the techniâ€" cal school, the subjects including woodâ€"working, ironâ€"working, mining, domestic science and other specially practical studies. Directorsâ€"Dr. O. G. Hague, W. Rinn. The visitors at the luncheon Monday included :â€"Mr. Coffin, Birmingham, Alabama, and Mr. Sauve, Timmins. The election of officers for the enâ€" suing term at the Kiwanis Club reâ€" sulted as follows :â€" Presidentâ€"Chas. G. Keddie. Viceâ€"presidentâ€"W allace Jamieson. Treasurerâ€"(Geo. N. Ross. District trusteeâ€"W. D. Cuthbertâ€" HOMER L. GIBsON CO. 867 YONGE STREET BRANCHES TIMMIN S BELLEVILLE COBALT ROUYN KIREKELAND LAKE 8SUDBURY KORTH BAY COCHRANE Private Wires to all Branâ€"ches on of Despatches from Cobalt say that the Northern Ontario Light and Power Co., is not able at present to make any reductions in domestic lighting rates at Cobalt, but that it would consider a drop when eondiâ€" tions warrant it. This is the inforâ€" mation conveyed to the town council at ‘Cobalt in a report received from the Hydro Electric Commission, folâ€" lowing an investigation made by an engineer of the provineial body. The report states that, while the profits in Cobalt agppear high if the town is considered a separate unit, they are equitable when the company‘s method of regarding the different municipaliâ€" ties of the district having franchises with it is considered. Rates at Coâ€" balt for domestic purposes are eight cents a kilowatt hour net, although a new franchise offered by the comâ€" pany offers a sliding scale if suffiâ€" cient current is used. MIXING RELIGION WITH POTATOES AT COBALT According to information from Coâ€" balt the town council of that town has a ticklish technical question to deâ€" cide. This question is whether it is lawful to mix. religious Jliterature with the potatoes and poultry on the local market without the p@yment of a special fee for the privilege. The case arises from the fact that it is said that an Earlton farmer was sellâ€" ing religious literature from his stall on the market without taking out a peddler‘s license. Those favouring this work by the Earlton farmer sugâ€" gest that it was copies of the seripâ€" tures that were sold, together with ‘"illustrated texts.‘‘ The Cobalt council appeared to feel that if the farmer confined his sales to vegetables and other farm products and the bible that no particular fault need be found with him. Apparently the council felt that the bible would not do any Cobalt people any harm, if they knew what it was. Some of the council, however, are determined that the market shall not be used as a basis for transient business, apart from farm and dairy products. Religious (books, they feel, should be sold in the ordinary way and not at the market, unless the regular license fee is paid. After ia discugsion of the matter Mavor Lendrum and Councillor Binâ€" ny were appointed a committee to see the Englehart farmer in question and find out what he was doing and what he was trying to do.
