Thursday, August 15th, 1929 UG, PRETTY WEDDING Al SOUTH PORCUPINE GHURCGH (Cont. from Page One this Section) seemed fair to make the civic holiday on a day that was already a halfâ€" holiday. Monday was judged a better day so as to give any wanting to leave on a Saturday night the extra day away. The iyth was thought the most suitable as the 26th would be too close to Labour Day. However it was deâ€" cided to call up Mayor Drew, of Timâ€" mins and find out when they were having their civic holiday. It was found that Timmins had decided on August 19th for practically the same reasons as were influencing Tisdale so the vote was unanimous for that date. Mr. H. G. Laidlaw was present to disclose the merits of a new coal stoker as a saver of fuel and incidentâ€" ally of expense. This is to be consiâ€" dered later. There was considerable time taken in the adjustingâ€"of taxes on buildings that had been burned. There was also a case where the tenant of a reasons aAs were Iniil so the vote was unar date. Mr. H.

However the sample from farther down proved richer still, the assay giving a $40.72 result. Thése samples are taken from a mineralized zone that runs across three claims in a width varyâ€" ing from sixty to one hundred and fifty feet, This promises to be a real bonanza. Mrs. W. W.

Monsignor Dupuis, who for the i last four years has been parish priest of Holy Cross church, Haileybury, and | for twelve years before that was secâ€" ‘ retary to the late Bishop Latulippe, has ; been transferred to Notre Dame de Nord as parish priest. He will be much missed in Haileybury where he was | highly regarded by all. "Observer," who writes the "Sportâ€" ology‘"‘ column for The North Bay Nugâ€" get is now commenting on what Kirkâ€" land Lake is planning to do in regard to hockey d@uring the coming winter. Kirkland Lake‘s Plans for Hockey Next Winter "Sportology‘"‘ admits that "it is reportâ€" ed that the move to reâ€"establish a senior team in Timmins has been abandoned." The Advance would adâ€" mit more than that. As a matter of fact there has been no move made here, so far as anyons knows, to reâ€" establish senior hockey in this town for the coming season. If there was any such move it was so quiet and unobâ€" trusive that it defeated its own purâ€" pose, because none of those interested knew anything about it. However, "Sportology‘‘ may have better dope on Kirkland Lake. In any case here is what "Observer‘" has to say about the Kirkland Lake situation:â€" "A rumour wafted from Kirkland Lake this week sounds a warning to the effect that the mining centre will be a serious contender for N.OH.A. senior honours next season, with an entry that will cause a stir when everyâ€" thing is revealed. From a~source that is known to be authentic, it has been learned that a dozen or more ‘capable senior players are now fresiding in Kirkland Lake. These were drawn from widely separated areas and partiâ€" cularâ€"attention was given to balancing the squad so as to form a team that will be strong at every position. It is said that Jamieson now commands group of hockeyists as strong as any ever assembled in the North and that everything will be placed at his disâ€" posal to help himâ€"achieve his ambition of bringing a championship to the town. While particular attentionâ€"is for senior t is reported t lish senior team in been abandoned.

Miss Germaine Pauquette left week for a holiday at Ottawa. Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Johnston, of Hamilton, were Timmins visitors last week. W. Bonnell, of North Bay, was painâ€" fully injured when the rim of an auâ€" tomobole wheel flew off when a tire exploded, knocking him unconscious and bruising his head. The Northern News of Lake last weeks saysâ€"*"Miss Scanlon, of Timmins, is the her brother, E. Scanlon, of road." Mr. H,. V. McCurdy, some years ago manager of the Woolworth Store here, but now at Sydney, N.S., was a visitor to the camp last week and was warmly welcomed here by many old friends and acquaintances. Owing to the unfavourable weather on Sunday last the Moose Picnic was Sunday next, Au is fine. Those who have been enquiring so anxiously and so frequently as to the date of civic holiday in Timmins, should note that Monday next, Aug. 19th, has been duly proclaimed as civic holiday for Timmins. Mr. T. McCann left this week to reâ€" turn to Miami, Florida, after several weeks at his home here. Mr. and Mrs. G. Mercier, of Glen Almond, Que., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. Rochon, Birch street. Mr. J. D. Tolman, manager of the Porcupine United,. is on a business trip to Buffalo. Mr. A. G. Brough and daughters, Margaret and Floria, of Shawville, Que., are visiting Mr. Brough‘s mother and brother here. The Harry Lottridge Shows, which played at Timmins last week, are at North Bay this week. The next regular mceeting of the town council is scheduled to be held on Monday afternoon, Aug. 26th, comâ€" mencing at 4 p.m. Mr. J. W. Richards, of Montreal, is visiting Mr. H. R. Channen, 51 Toke street. Mr. Richards is well known in this part of the North Land, having been formerly connected with the Hotel Iroquois, Iroquois Falls. The death of Albert J. Jeffries, aged 43 years, occurred at North Bay on Thursday last. He was a travelling representative for the Telford Biscuit Company and was well and favourably known throughout Northern Ontario. He is survived by a widow and two daughters who returned from a visit to Buffalo on hearing of his illness. The CNP.C. Review in an editorial note in the August issue says:â€""No complaints about the weather this time.

A card from the "Dalton family" was received this week in town being sent while Mr. and Mrs. J. Dalton and Jack were in Rome. They were about to leave for Switzerland, after which they plan to go to Germany, Belgium and France. In visiting the battlefields Mr. Dailton hopes to locate the grave of Cecil Lloyd, one of the oldâ€"timers of the Porcupine, who lost his life on service overseas. In the column of items reproduced last week from The Nugget fyles of August 10th, 1914, The North Bay Nugâ€" get had the following:â€"*"That pracâ€" tically the whole country along the T. N. O. tracks is ablaze was the reâ€" port of a Cobalt lady who returned on Saturday following a visit to Timmins. Except for brief intervals, the flames have complete possession of the land and dense clouds of smoke are hovering over the entire section. A telephone message to a Cobalt merchant this morning stated that a heavy thunderâ€" storm this morning put out the fires in the Porcupine region." Prospecting Nineteen Years Ago in Porcupine There will be very general interest here in the prospecting work carried on in this district as long ago as nineâ€" teen years. The Sudbury Star runs a columns of paragraphs from its fyles of 1910, and last week it had an item from the issue of The Star of August 10th, 1910. This paragraph dealt with prospecting work in this area, and said: "About 45 new claims have been staked in Cripple Creek, the latest mecca for Porcupine prospectors. The location is the territory around Great Pike Lake, in the townships of Denton and Reynolds, about forty miles south and west of Tisdale. Besides Cripple Creék, there is a great deal of staking being done in Mountjoy, the township just west of Tisdale. The stakings ni general seem to follow the sweep of the Mattagami River, which takes a wide turn through the thirtyâ€"six square miles." Last week in giving the report of the meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade, The Advance quoted at length from the despatch covering the event sent by The North Bay Nugget‘s reguâ€" lar correspondent, Mr. Frank Lendrum. Accordingly, it is only right that The Advance should also publish the folâ€" lowing letter sent to The Nugget corâ€" recting a statement with reference to the views expressed by Mr. Geo. T. Smith of Haileybury, in reference to the causes for the small amount of motor traffic coming this year from the South to the North Land. The letter as printed in The Nugget is as follows:â€" To the Editor: In your report of the meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade held at Englehart on Wednesday last, it is stated that "George T. Smith said that there appears to be an organized atâ€" tempt at North Bay to keep people from coming North." What I said was "There appears to MKR. GEO. T.

UMPIRES AND REFEREES HAVE THEIR RIGHTS YET It is a long time since a baseball umâ€" pire has been assaulted in Timmins or district,â€"if ever. The fans usually take it out in talk, even when they believe that the umpire is a rotten robâ€" ber and thoroughâ€"paced scoundrel,â€" if any. It has not always been so, however, in hockey and recently there have been tendencies to use football referees a little too rough. There are words that are as bad as blows and inâ€" sults that are considered equal to physical injuries. All of which is but a preface to an item gleaned from The Huntingdon Gleaner last week. The Gleaner in its "Chronicled News Bits," a sprightly weekly feature, says: "Out in the far west where men are men and baseball fans plainâ€"speaking. Harvey Sutherland umpired a ball zame in Seattle, Washington. He made 1 decision which did not please the 1 decision which did not please the fans. They objected, verbally ‘and otherwise. The result is that Sutherâ€" land has sued the members of the club and seven spectators for $11,250 damâ€" ages, alleging that "he suffered humiliâ€" ation, loss of earning power and mentâ€" al and physical Anjuries."
