on a lone rush. The play was very slow at this stage of the play with the Cubs playing far too much defensive nockey whereas lots of combination and rushes would have brought them more results. Krupka scored the fourth goal in the dying moments of the game when ‘he skated all the way down and stickâ€" handled ‘his way through the defence and shot a hard one that Sandrin didn‘t have a chonce to stop. Sandrin the Cub goalie was good and ‘has his own way of stopping them, somewhat after a catcher‘s method. He drops his stick, falls on his knees and grabs the puck with both hands. This works out very effectively. The Falls team missed some good chances to score. One of these lost opportunities is particularly noteworthy. ‘At one stage in the game Timmins had only two men on the ice and the Iroquois Falls Cubs might well have sailed in and picked off a goal or two.

Paper Town Juniors Lose Out/ in Speedy Contest at t alls, t Score Being 4 to f Event at Skating Rink Toâ€" Morrow Night Expected to be Novel and Attractive Entertainment, PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 2808 2 Sectionsâ€" 16 Pages The Ice Circus scheduled to be held at the Timmins skating rink on Friâ€" day night of this week, Feb. 8th, under the auspices of the Porcupine Ski Club, is by all indications going to be a real live affair. The success of the Ski Club in carrying through any event underâ€" taken is looked upon as assurance that toâ€"morrow night‘s affair will exceed expectations, and the executive of the P. S. C. are urging the public to expect a big night of novelty and fun. The competitive spirit is exhibited in the many races will be mingled, they say, with sideâ€"splitting humour, and the officials have been boasting all week that there won‘t be a dull moment in the whole evening. d Nt PMR ETCOE since the programme was printed many numbers have been added and as most of these are highly entertaining the club officials request that no enâ€" cores be demanded as the time limit will be taxed eÂ¥en though there will be no waiting between numbers. 2y > One of the officials this week tellsl The Advance that a telegram has been, received from Toronto saying that Oxo,! the pure Castilian bull has been shipâ€" | ped by express, and owing to the feroâ€" city of this animal twelve of the most stalwart members of the club have volâ€" unteered to transport the brute to its specially prepared stable behind the, rink, where it wili be chained up until Friday evening. Some apprehension has been voiced by those living in the vicinity of the rink as to the danger of the possibility of the escape of the beast, but the club officials have foreâ€" see such possibilities and have taken every necessary step of precaution. Every member of the P. S. C. is now working under high pressure and every little detail is being planned with pains~â€" taking carefuiness to make the Ice Cirâ€" cus an unqualified success. This fact bedes well for the spectators and should assure everyone of a most interesting and pleasant evening. Among the many valuable prizes to be given the winners in the different events are four pairs of the most pensive figure skates obtainable in Canada. These very valuable prizes hnave been donated by that enthusiastic sportsman, Mr. Jack Brady. Mr. Brady who is also a member and executive officer of the Porcupine Ski Club has repeatedly proven to be a generous supporter of all athletic activities in the camp. The Porcupine Ski Club hope to see a large turnout toâ€"morrow night (Friâ€" day) and are confident that all atâ€" tending will greatly enjoy the Ice Circus. Mrs. Walter Richardson will enterâ€" tain the members of A.O.O.F. Club at bridge on Friday evening, Feb. 8th, at her home, 54 Wilson avenue. Major Hartt, of Toronto, was here for the occasion to represent the Govâ€" ernment and to conduct an enquiry inâ€" to the matter. In opening the meeting Major Hartt said he was present as the representative of the Government to hear all complaints and gather all possible information in the affair. "This should have been done a year ago," ‘he said, adding that he would suggest that all would treat it as if it had been done a year ago. Miss Kathâ€" leen McNabb, stenographer, was present to take down all the evidence and arâ€" gument in the case so that it could be presented in full to the Government and all others concerned. In view of the fact that the different interest haa their several counsel present, Major Hartt suggested that the legal men might present their cases for their clients, instead of time and effort beinz wasted through individual effort. Mr. Frank Kehoe represented the Booming Association; Mr. W. O. Langdon apâ€" pean«d for four independent lumberâ€" men; S. A. Caldbick was present to represent E. C. Brewer and other settâ€" lers. Co." This meeting was called for Tuesday afternoon in the Oddfellows‘ hall commencing at 2.30 p.m., and there were about fifty present, chiefly lumbermen outside of the booming company, and settlers along the river. There were also representatives present of the Mattagami Aquatic Association and other individual citizens. Mr. Caldbick was called upon first] and ‘presented the cagse for the settler | in very effective and able way. He\ pointed out that for five months in | the year the river was the only highway | available for settlers and others for | travel to and from their homes along | the Mattagami. The road systems in the | North were yet imperfect enough that it would be a serious matter to interâ€" fere with the river as a means of transport. Mr. Caldbick pictured the danger to the settlers and families in case of fire if the booming company were allowed to block the frontages with booms. Pupils at school in case of need would find a boomâ€"blocked river a very decided menace. Mr. Caldâ€" bick pointed out that the rights asâ€" sumed by the booming company were prejudicial to the common rights und:r the law. He objected to the idea that the company should take over the use of frontages as they had without askâ€" ing consent of the settlers concerned. In the case of settlers whose farms were divided by the river the case was especially objectionable. He held very strongly the right of the settler to travel by river from one part of his farm to the other, as many found it convenient to do. Settlers were enâ€" titled to the full use of the river in front of their lots, and he objected to the idea of anyone attempting to charge the settlers toll for the use of 'the river. It was ridiculous that the ‘company should attempt to regulate or restrict the free use of the river by settlers under the law. In a clever summingâ€"up of the case for his clients, Mr. Caldbick questioned the necessity for a booming association at all, and ’pointed out that the present company ; had done nothing in the way of perâ€" ‘ manet improvement on the river. Major Hartt interjected the stateâ€" ment that the settlers have rights that must be respected. Mr. Caldbick then touched upon the damage the booming association rules would work to men bringing down firewood. Major Hartt gave assurance that injury would not be permitted in such cases. "Lumberâ€" men also," he said, "have rights, and we will try to protect the rights of all." Mr. W. O. Langdon in very able way presented the ease for the independent lumbermen outside of the booming ‘company. He quoted the law to show |that the public had rights that could |not be taken away on navigable istreams." Even in the case where aA c c o1 .0 1 OS L e In view of the fact that there has been so much opposition to the plans adopted by the Mattagami Booming Company in regard to traffic on the river, and also no doubt as a result of the publicity given what many of the lumbermen and practically all the setâ€" tlers considered to be an attempt by the Booming Association to usurp an overâ€" lordship of ‘the river, a meeting was called by advertisement over the sigâ€" nature of W. C. Cain, Deputy Minister of Lands and FPorests "to hear objecâ€" tions, if any, and to draft rules and regulations of the Mattagami Booming mt wl P «stt stt Governmfiéontrol of All Traffic on River As company had made improvements that made a stream navigable that had not been so before, the law laid down that all had rights in the benefit of the imâ€" provements made. Mr. Langdon reâ€" ferred to the requirements necessary in making application for charter such as the booming company had obtained and he asked to â€"see the application. Major Hartt replied that the meeting was not to deal with the charter but with the attitude of the settlers and lumbermen. There were no improveâ€" ments required on the Mattagami river, Mr. Langdon said, and the public rights could not be legally alienated "We insist on the right to drive our own logs on the river," said Mr. Langâ€" don. Asked if his clients were willing to come under the conditions suggested by the booming company ruies, Mr. Langdon answered, "Most emphatically not!" Mr. Feldman, formerly a member of the booming company, said in response to a query by Major Hartt, that it had ancellation of Booming Association Charter/and Liâ€" censes of Occupation Also Requested. ven Major Hartt Considered Proposed Rules of Booming Assoctaâ€" tion Altogether Too Sweeping. Large Attendance at Meeting. f Mr. Mait Boivin moved and it was duly seconded that the Government be asked to appoint a qualified superâ€" interdent to control the Mattagami river and regulate traffic in the general interest. Later this motion was put to the meeting and carried by large maâ€" jority, only four concerned with the booming company voting against it. An amendment made by Mr. F. Kehce that the booming company be reâ€"imâ€" bursed for the $18,000 spentlast year in attempt to solve the traffic problem on the river was defeated first by a similar vote. Mr. Caldbick wanted to go much further than this, asking that the liâ€" cense of occupation be rescinded and the charter cancelled, to prevent posâ€" sible recurrence of the present situation This also was put in motion form and duly carried on about the same majorâ€" ity as the previous motions. Mr. A. Laprairie, one of the property owners on the river in town, showed the injury occasioned by the booming comâ€" pany. He referred to one case where a boom had been anchored to the pier of the bridge to overcome the danger of poor booming. Members of the booming company denied that this had ever happened but several in the audâ€" ience rose to their feet and personally endorsed Mr. Laprairie‘s statement in the matter. / Mr. Frank Kehoe made as good a case as possible for the booming comâ€" pany. He said that the booming comâ€" pany was anxious to meet the settlers and deal fairly with them. To this end | rules had been drawn up for the genâ€" | eral advantage and these were subâ€" mitted toâ€"day. "We don‘t want to hold ‘ the river, and we know we can‘t" he| said. There were no tolls to settlers or others for firewood, he said. ‘The little supervision desired on the river* was for the benefit of all. He showed | that conditions were better than when all wore fighting individually for the use of the river. Half of the river was | now kept open all the time for traffic.l All tolls had to be approved by the judge at Cochrane so fairness wWas Asâ€" sured. It remained for the Dept. to say whether a settler could hold a mile | or more of frontage and have it all; kept open. The attitude of the boomâ€"| ing company was not to oppose any- body but to help all. He replied to the | suggestion that the booming company\ pay for the use of frontage by saying | that the company naturally did not, want to pay for something that wa>| more or less in the way of a holdâ€"up. | The half of the river kept open was in | better condition than ever before. The lDommion Government had approved | the -i;ié.ns of the booming company and the rights of all to use the river had been fully protected. Major Hartt then read the proposed rules of the booming company clause by clause. On behalf of his clients Mr. Langdon objected to every clause, even to the preamble as assuming i rights not warranted. The charter, should never have been granted, he said. Mr. Caldbick also registered obâ€" jection to practically every clause. The| rules suggested the taking over of such) wide powers and authority by t;he1 | | booming company that evern Major Hartt commented adversely on them. The "rules" would give the booming | company a regular overlordship of the river, it may be noted. No one would | be able to move except at the permis-i sion of their "superintendent." Comments on conditions past and present were made by Messrs Wicks,) McChesney, "Pierce, Boivin, Feldman | and others. There seemed to be genâ€" eral opinion among the lumbermen that the cost under the beoming company‘ was much greater than before. Mr.: Wicks explained that much of this cost was due to the unusual flood conâ€" ditions. Mr. McChesney thought the lumbermen should be recompensed for the expenditures made last year. "We have to take our losses," said Mr. Chas. Pierce, who objected to the booming company going ahead without consultâ€" ing the other lumbermen on the river. Mr. R. Simms, president of the Acâ€" quatic Association spoke briefly of the desire of that club to have the river kept open and its intention to coâ€" operate to that end. Major Hartt in concluding the meetâ€" ing, said that with all the facts before them the Government could be deâ€" pended upon to safeguard the rights of all. It was apparent that what was generally desired was "Government Control" of the waterway. Leon Breau, cook at the Dally camp, near Kirkland Lake, was sentenced to one month in jail without the option of a fine for giving liqoor to a minor. The evidence showed that a party of Indian women had asked the cook for a meal, and in addition to the food he supplied them with liquor. One of them was a girl under seventeen years of age, the mother claiming the youngster was only eleven, though the child looked much older then that.

Probably the people in general do not realize the value to the town of the ‘Timmins public «library, but large number certainly must do so, for over 3,000 members are enjoying the adâ€" vantages of the library at present while the total circulation of books from the library during 1928 shows how much use is made of the advantages offered. The annual report of the liâ€" brarian, Mrs. Digby Grimston, contain: miuch interesting information that will pleasingly surprise those who have not given the matter any particular thought. Many have noted the large number patronizing the library and have then, perhaps, passed the matter by with some such comment as ‘"The library appears to be very popular!" or The large number of books of nonâ€" fiction type taken out during the year shows that there is a large body of peoâ€" ple here of studious trend for whom the library has more value than simply for light the other hand the 'books in the library in the fiction line _are of the better class and probably the larger part of them are educational as well as entertaining. It is pleasing also to note the large number of juveniles | using the library. Probably from no other form of pleasure will they derive so much of satisfaction, enjoyment and benefit as from the one cultivated by | patronizing the public library and makâ€" ing friends of the writers of this and : past ages. w 1w For the year 1928 the number of books in circulation #otalled @3,089. ‘This was 9,983 more books than circuâ€" lated for the previous year. The cirâ€" culation of books for 1928 was dividea "A lot of people seem to find the libâ€" rary of use." The statistics for the year however, will impress even the regular friends of the library. There can be no question of the value | I and success of the Timmins public lib-‘ ; rary andif is only fair to note thatiwhile \the public library board have done ‘\their part unusually well, a very large measure of the success of the institution | must be credited to the talent, interest' and hard work of the librarian who hasl conducted the work with marked abiliâ€" | ty. v v as follows:â€"adult, nonâ€"fiction, 3,087; adult, fiction, 38,201; juvenile, 20,951. The total number of members of the Timmins public library on Dec. 31st, 1928 was 3049. That the public library is giving pleasure and information to over 3000 people, young and old, is proof enough of the value of the inâ€" stitution to this town. The number of beoks in the library on Dec. 31st, 1928, totaled 7,385, dividâ€" ed as follows:â€"adult, fiction, 3848; adult, nonâ€"fiction, 1411; juvenile, 2120. hk t F j (NkikkKkik ki kiA Â¥ NORLETLTy td y .

Owingi" to various reasons only six meetings'1 were held throughout the year. At the 15 first meeting, held on January 16th by; the previous year‘s executive, the fol-t lowing were elected as officers for the} ensuing year:;â€"Mr. Dye, president, Mr. Murdock, Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Halperin as the first, second and third viceâ€" presidents respectively, Mrs. Keddie as recording secretary ind Mr. ‘Ross as| corresponding‘ secretary. At the next meeting the recording secretary reâ€"|| gretted, but stated that she could only | act pro tem, and since August the treaâ€" ] surer has combined that office with his|â€" own. The attendance at the meetings| has been only fair. This has been due,| probably, to the lack of an individual secretary and to poor means of advis-l ing the meetings, this being done by phone and by notices in the local paper In February our town was thrown into mourning by the terrible catastrophe which occurred at the big mine. I am proud to say that our nurse, Miss Elâ€" liott, was one of the first to volunteer assistance, and was very active in comâ€" forting many of those who had sufâ€" fered personal loss. A proposal was imade at one of our meetings that we should extend our service to embrace }Schumacher, but it was pointed out |that as we had and expected to receive a considerable donation from the town of Timmins to help defray our expenses it would not be just to the town if we increased such expense by going so far loupside. It is with sincere regret I mention that Miss Elliott immediately on her return from her vacation in August was suddenly taken, ill and rushed to a Toronto hospital for surâ€" gical treatment, and has not yet fully recovered or returned to duty. Miss Stevens, who relieved her during the vacation has carried on ever since with credit to herself and to the interest of | the society. Miss Stevenson, the visit-] ing superintendent, paid a visit of inâ€" spection in October and expressed herâ€" self as well pleased on the whole with the work as carried on, but thought it would be more interesting if we had regular monthly meetings. A tag day was held on Dec. 14th with gratifying The municipality also again came to our assistance twice during the 'year with grants of $500.00 During the year 2339 nursing and 339 nonâ€"nursâ€" ing visits were made by the nurses, total of 2678 visits. This is an increas> of 10 per cent on‘ the year 1927. ‘The nonâ€"nursing visits were reduced by 160, \thus actually the nursing service was lihcreased 20 per cent. The grand total | I ] I ] 9 |cost of the work figures out to $2847.15 ‘which works out at $1.064 per visit, |comparable with last year, despite the i additional nurse expence. I express my |thanks to The Porcupine Advance for "the kindness shown on many occasions |_â€"Ed. Richards, treasurer." The treasurer, Mr. Ed. Richards, preâ€" sented his report, which may be sumâ€" marized as follows:â€"receiptsâ€"nurses‘ collections, $789.25; Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., $545.000; donations, town of Timmins tag day, etc., $1,406.â€" 04; total receipts, $2,721.19. Expensesâ€" salaries of nurses, $2,110.75; medical and surgical supplies, $12.85; laundry, $14.02; other expenses, stationery, etc., $18.50; car upkeep ahnd expenses, $368.â€" 80; by credit balance, $196.27. Miss Stevens askea for a ruling in regard to visiting patients outside the town limits. It was pointed out that the service was for the town only but in exceptional and urgent cases the nurse was to use her own discretion., Reference was made to one call to a patient beyond the railroad crossing in Moneta. It was bitter cold weather with deep snow. The nurse fearing the: stalling of the V.O.N. car, thought it best to take a taxi. The taxi had twice to be assisted out of the deep snow and eventually would not attempt to proâ€" ceed further. The nurse had to walk three blocks through deep snow. All the call brought the society was 45 cents. while the actual outlay was $3.00 and the nurse was unfitted for further worl for the day. The patient, a child, was found to be up and around. Miss Stevens reported that she had received word from headquarters to the effect that Miss Elliott may possibly be back here again at the end of February. { The election of officers was postâ€" noned to a later meeting. por Quite a bit of interest and excitement was caused on Sunday evening about 7.30 when an alam of fire was sent in for a blaze that appeared to be in proâ€" gres sat the rear of the Eaton Groceâ€" | teria. The fire had evidently started, or been started, in the garbage box, and the authoritiee are inclined to think it was of incendiary origin. ‘To keep things both tidy and sanitary, the Eaton firm had a garbage box, fitted with hinged lids, erected against the back of the store building. The box is sheeted as a protection against fire from outside and it was intended to. put locks on the lids. Theselocks have now been put in place but on Sunday: was not installed. Apparently this fact was used, if the Ire was of incenâ€" diary origin as it appeared to be. Howâ€" ever the firemen were very prompt on the scene and were able to extinguish the blaze before any particular harm or damage was done. The fire had gotten into the walls before it was discovered but though difficult to get at the fireâ€" men soon had it out of business. : It is reported that the recent fire at Kapusâ€" kasing also started in the garbage box | at the rear of the store and in that case there was also talk of incendiarism. The theory is that someone who does not want the Eaton grogeterias to do business in these North Land towns took this improper method of attemptâ€" ing to interfere with the stores. The police here are working on the case and if the culprit is discovered it will likely prove a very serious matter for that misguided individual whoever he may be, as his actions endanger the whole community.
