at London, Ont. Mr,. Arthur Borland, «%ho had been seriously ill for some time with stomach trouble, was 49 years old at the time of death. Sincere sympathy will be extended to Chief Borland in the death of his brother Some weeks ago on receipt of the news of the serious iliness of his brother. Chief and Mrs. Borland paid aa visit to London and spent a week there. Chief Borland received the news this morning that his brother.> Mr. Arthur Borland passed away last night Mrs. Soldo, whose life was for a time feared for, after she had been murâ€" derously assaulted and beaten about the head and face with an axe, is still improving and apparently booked to make a good recovery from the inâ€" juries received. Jos. Soldo, the husâ€" band is wanted by the police to answer to the charge of assaulting the woman, but up to date the authoritiee have been unable to locate Soldo. y MRS. SOLDO CONTINUES TO PROGRESS TO RECOVERY It is interesting to note some of the men directing the Northland Grocers, Limited. The managing director is Mr. R. M. Elliott, who is unusually wellâ€"known in the North Land. He was formerly connected with the National Grocers. Mr. Elliott is wellâ€" known in Timmins having been in charge of this territory for a time. He had the distinction of shipping the first goods that ever came in to ‘Timâ€" mins from a wholesale house to a reâ€" tail firm here. The supervisor of the district for the new firm will be Mr. P. Dougall, whose long residence in the North and wide experience and talent in the grocery lines, particularly it him for such a position. In Timmins the stores of the Northâ€" land Grocers, Limited,. will be known as the Pioneer Stores. The two Holâ€" linger grocery storesâ€"the one on Third avenue, and the one in the Townâ€" siteâ€"will be continued, with practically the same staffs as at present. Mr. R. B. Sturdy will be the manager of the Third avenue store, and Mr. Walter Armitage will be in charge at the Townsite store. The Kapuskasing Supply Co., may be termed the parent store of the new company. It has been doing a remarkâ€" ably large business in the growing new paper town of Kapuskasing. In the hustling mining field of Quebec, the stores at Rouyn and Noranda are naturally building up a large trade there. _ The Hollinger, MciIntyre and Dome grocery departments have occuâ€" pied a distinctive place in this camp, and under the new ownership will no doubt continue to thrive and increase, the Northland Grocers, Limited, makâ€" ing a special point, as will be noted by the announcement elsewhere in this issue, that though it is the intention to reduce prices following the advanâ€". tages of the great buying power of the chain store idea, at the same time it is also the firm determination of the new company to fully maintain the ideas of service and attention to the, public. It is likely that other stores§ will be added to the chain in this. North as occasion suggests. | a similar plan on a less extended scale in this North Land. The more exâ€" tended plan of the Northland Grocers should be even more satisfactory and advantageous to all concerned. The Advance understands that the Northâ€" land Grocers, Limited, also intend to open a wholesale department on or about January l1st, 1929. This will malke a fine chain of stores for the North Land, and those behind the venture know the business from A. to Z., and they also know the North Land and its people, so the plan should prove a success. The idea beâ€" hind the plan is that with the purâ€" chasing power given by the needs of all this chain of stores stocks will be purchased on such favourable terms as to make possible retail prices that will make special appeal to the public and attract large patronage to the differâ€" ent stores. Years ago Mr. J. R. Gorâ€" don followed with very marked success This week the grocery department of the Hollinger Stores, Ltd., is under new | ownership being purchased by the Northland Grocers, Ltd., a new com-‘ pany establishing a chain of grocery ; stores in the North Land.

Mr. O‘Connor, one of the Provincial Children‘s Aid Inspectors, was a Timâ€" mins visitor this week, visiting the Separate School here and a number of homes, as well as the District Shelter, on his periodic tour of inspection reâ€" garding the welfare of the wards of Messrs J. G. Morrison afd L. A. Hooks, of Montreal, wellâ€"known in the North where they are frequent visitors, were in Timmins this week and on Monday evening happened to stroll over to the Central public school and listened to the practice going on for presentation here on Dec 19th and 20th of the cantata, "Queen Esther." Both of these gentlenien being musical were inclined to be critical and were all braced up to be bored by the atâ€" tempts they expected to hear in the | handling by a local choir of such a lselection. However, they got the surâ€" prise of their lives. "It was the finest | presentation I have yet heard of | ‘Queen Esther,"‘ Mr. Morrison told The \ Advance yesterday. He added that he | stayed throughout the whole practicei : because he could not prevail upon himâ€" | self to leave earlier. He compliments Timmins on the remarkable array of vocal talent in this town and above _all he had the highest praise for the ( econductor of the choir, Mr. J. Geils. l"He is certainly a wonder at such work," said Mr. Morrison. In view of the fact that Mr. Morrison has himâ€" self taken part in the cantata, "Queen Esther," on more than one occasion, filling the most important part in the j event,â€"that of Mordecaiâ€"with markâ€" ed success, the praise he gives the preâ€" sentation as noted here is all the more complimentary and pleasing. en i m mm mm n mm on womess smcs smm Last Sunday there were large gathâ€" erings at the various services of the Salvation Army, Ensign and Mrs. John Bond conducting their farewell serâ€" vices. This week Capt. and Mrs. Evenâ€" don, of Toronto, will be here to take charge of the S. A.

For the opening services under the new officers Major Cameron, of North Bay, will be here to assist over the weekâ€"end. NEW OFFICERS FOR THE sSALVATION ARMY HERE will be only a dollar each, but if half the ardent hockey fans buy a ticket each, as all should do, there will be ample funds for finance. The Junior Hockey Club intend to go out in a few days on the canvass for the sale of these tickets.

MR. ALEX BOYD VERY ILL AT HIS HOME AT PRESENT ST. ANDREW‘S NIGHT AT GOLDEN BEAVER LODGE Another important item of business will be the election of officers for the ensuing year. In this connection it may be noted that Mr. C. W. Wright, of Englehart, the president, has given very noteworthy talent and considerâ€" able time to the work and deserves the thanks of the whole North for his generous services. At the annual meeting of the Asâ€" sociated Boards on Tuesday next . a number of important matters will be dealt with. One question to be conâ€" sidered is the advisability of establishâ€" ing some form of Board of Trade committee to assist farmers and setâ€" tlers who will necessarily suffer as a result of the wet season and their conâ€" sequent loss of crop. The suggestion for Northern Ontario maintaining a tourist information bureau at North Bay during the tourist season next year will also be discussed. There will likeâ€" ly be some reference to the extent of territory covered by the Associated Boards and the best plans for effective action in the various matters that concern the different sections of the North. The annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade will be held at New Liskeard on Tuesâ€" day of next week, Nov. 27th, commencâ€" ing at 1 p.m. Special effort is at preâ€" sent being made to see that Timmins has a proper representation at the mecting. The Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade is an organâ€" ization of all the boards of trade of the North Land, and the association has been able to do a great deal for the advancement and advantage of the North. There is no question but that as one of the largest towns in the disâ€" trict Timmins should take a prominâ€" ent part in the organization. Presiâ€" aent Langdon and Mr. A. Taylor, of the local board, are a committee to see that Timmins has full representaâ€" tion at the meeting Tuesday. Annual Meeting of Northern Ontario Associated Boards at New Liskeard on November 27th. ASSUCIATED BOARDS T0 miFl 0N TUESUAY NEXT Monday next, Nov. 26th, is the date for nominations for a mayor and counâ€" cillors for 1929 and for members for the school board. Nominations for mayor must be made in writing beâ€" tween the hours of ten and eleven n the morning at the town hall, Timâ€" mins. Twelve noon to one o‘clock in the afternoon is the limit for the noâ€" minating of candidates for councillors and for public school trustees. At present there does not seem to be any names mentioned except the present mayor and councillors for the coming year, It would appear that if the present mayor and councillors were reâ€"elected by acclamation that the town would benefit in every way. .The past year has seen municipal affairs conducted in especially good way. The tax rate has been very materially reâ€" duced, withouft slighting the public service. Everything seems to be goâ€" ing along in very pleasing fashion and the general public apparently appreâ€" clates the excellent services so generâ€" ously given the town by Mayor E. L. Longmore and Counciliors A. G. Carâ€" son, W. H. Pritchard, Geo. S. Drew, P. Dougall, R. Richardson and C. P. Ramâ€" say. In case an election is necessary the date for the same will be on Monday, Dec. 3rd. NIMINATIONS FOR TOWN GOUNGIL CX MONOAY NFXT November 26th the Date for the Namâ€" ing of Candidates for Mayor, Councillors and School Board â€"A number of fancy sale articles from the United Church bazaar will be on display in Rinn‘s window over this The entertainment last night in t% United Church under the auspi 0 the Young People‘s Society proved a most enjoyable one and the large number attending received fully double their money‘s worth. Chief Deyokah, the noted Cree Indian singer, elocuâ€" ‘tionist, etc., was not able to reach here until a late hour, the train on which he was travelling being late. The Young People‘s Society, while awaiting the artist, put on an impromptu proâ€" gramme of their own which was well worth the price of the tickets and more. There were excellent vocal solos by Mrs. P. Carson, and Miss Sayles, pianoforte solos of much merit by Miss Anne Scott, and very pleasing violin numbers by Master David Horwitz. When Chief Deyokah arrived, the audience was given another treat. In the first part of the programme the: artist was in Indian costume, and in the second part he wore evening dress. He sang Indian and other songs, gave recitations, sketches, etec. His presentâ€" ation of "By the Waters of Minnatonâ€" ka‘" was especially pleasing while his singing of the Indian lullabies were‘ also unusually pleasing. His sketches! were well done, the one of the “Oldl Bachelor" particularly catching the fancy of the youngsters. he new mining inspector is ver; highly spoken of by those who know him and comes to his difficult task with noteworthy knowledge and exâ€" perience. He is a Queen‘s University graduate in mining and metallurgy and to this technical knowledge he has added many years of active and practical work in mining. His first _position in mine work underground was with the Monarch mine at Drumâ€" heller, Alberta, coming to the Hollinâ€" ger mine in 1922, and the next year taking a place with the Britannia Mining and Smelting Company in Briâ€" tish Columbia. In 1924 he returned to Drumheller where he spent several more months in mining work, going in the latter part of 1925 to the Homeâ€" stake Gold Mines at Etna, California, where he was engaged for a time as surveyor and later was appointed superintendent of the plant. After fifteen or sixteen mosths in California, Mr. Cleland returned to Canada where he was engaged in the survey departâ€" ment by the Hollinger mine, later beâ€". ing one of the shift bosses on recovery and backâ€"filling under Capt. Young. He has been at the Hollinger for a year and a half. His wide and varied experience in different departments of mining should particularly qualify him for the position of mining inspector. ENTERTAINMENT LAST NIGHT VERY ENJOY ABLE Information received here last week was to the éffect that R. H. Cleland had been appointed Inspector of Mines for the Porcupine District, to fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Geo. E. Cole, who is now Chief Inâ€" spector of Mines for the province of Manitoba. Mr. Cleland took over his new duties on Thursday last, Novemâ€" ber 15th. A very cordial invitation is extended to all football enthusiasts to attend the event. To encourage the desired very large attendance the price of the tickets has been placed at a merely nominal sum. All are confidently exâ€" pecting one of the best annual events of the year at the football smoker. .....

Already over $1600.00 has been collected and the most earnest effort is being made by the ladies to reach the objective they set themselves of $2500.00. Mrs. Darling and Mrs. Eyre have practically been giving their whole time to the organization and carrying on of the canvass while a number of other good workers have been giving very helpful assistance. South Porcupine, in charge of Mrs. G. H. Gauthier, has made very fine reâ€" sponse. Connaught: has done well, Mrs. Day looking after this section. Other of the Porcupine have done well, and several sections have yet to make returns. Any canvassers having money or ticket books not reâ€" turned would facilitate matters by completing their returns as soon a: possible. Any who have been missed by the canvassers, or who feel they have not given as much as they would like, should send their further subâ€" scriptions direct to Mrs. Darling or to other members of the committee.

Police Understood to Have a Good Case Against Accused. Have Been Patiently Working for Some Time., During the past week the fire deâ€" partment had five calls, but none of them were serious, though the latter fact, of course, was due to the fact that they were noticed in time and skilfully dealt with by the brigade. All fires have at the makings of bad fires. On Nov. 17th at 9.30 p.m., there was a chimney fire at 165 Cedar street, north, no damage done. On Nov. 19th at 12.05 noon there was a verbal alarm for a fire at 53 Pine street north. The fire was in a partition and was caused from the stovepipe not entering the chimney properly. The fire was extinâ€" guished with the large chemical tank. The property loss was about $100.00, covered by insurance. Owner and ocâ€" cupant of the building, Mr. Bissonette. This fire attracted a large crowd, esâ€" pecially of the children just coming from school. There was a great quanâ€" tity of smoke but the fire itself did not have a chance to get going or it would have been a nasty one. On Nov. 19th, at 7.58 p.m. there was an alarm for a chimney fire at 153 Elm street south, no damage. On Nov. 20th, 8.20 a.m., a fire of unknown origin caused about $10.00 damage at 82 Birch street, north, before it was extinguished. On No.. 21st, at 11.55 a.m., there was a fire at the Star Transfer stables. The horses were gotten out and the damage to the stable would not much exceed $100.00, covered by insurance. One water line was used for this fire. FIVE FIRE CALLS DURING WEEK BUT NONE SERIOUS Inspector Constable was shot down from behind a few yards from his home when returning from band pracâ€" tice at Cochrane on the evening or Oct. l4th, 1926. Rewards totalling $6,â€" 000.00 were offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of his murderer. More then one arâ€" rest has been made in connection with the case but this is the first time when the police have shown confidence that they felt they had a complete case warranting a charge of murder being laid. John Evanchuk is an Austrian and about 35 or 40 years of age. He is said to have served in the Austrian Army at one timne, but he has been in the North Land many years. He is commonly known as "Cobalt," this name coming from his associations with Cobalt in its early days. He is also known in Timmins where he spent some time in past years. He also livâ€" ed at Kapuskasing, where the late Inspector Constable was chief of police at one time. Recently Evanchuk has been making his headquarters at Cochrane. It is said that there is proof that on the night that Inspecâ€" tor Constable was murdered, the acâ€" cused man was in Cochrane. This week Inspector Boyd, Sergt. Gardiner and other provincial officers were in Timmins and South Porcupine and it is believed that they were gathering further information and evidence for the case. shoulder and asked him to come outâ€" side. He submitted to arrest quite quietly and the arrest was made withâ€" _out any disturbance. Indeed, some others in the club were not aware that anything had happened. It is understood that a special officer has been engaged with the local provinâ€" clal force for some time past in workâ€" ing on the case, and Provincial Inâ€" spector of Detectives Boyd has also been in Cochrane during the past week.. The accused man is held in the Cochrane District jail under heavy guard. He was before the magistrate on Monday of this week on the charse of murder and was remanded until Monday of next week. The police are very reticent about details of the case, but there is a general belief that they have a very strong case and that the arrest was made after the facts elici*â€" ed had heen passed upon by Inspector Boyd and the Attorneyâ€"General‘s deâ€" partment. It is not known, of course, just what the case against Evanchuk may include, but the authoritiee apâ€" pear to be confident that at last they are getting somewhere in this case. Last week at Cochrane a man was arrested in connection with the murâ€" der of Inspector Constable at Cochâ€" rane in October, 1926. The police were very reticent in regard to the arrest made, but eventually the name of the arrested man was given out as John Evanchuk, the police saying that the accused man had been known to them for years as one believed to be engaged in blindpigging operations and as a frequenter of gambling places. The man was arrested in a Cochrane club, the North Star Athletice Associaâ€" tion. Sergt.
