He was assessed as a wholeâ€" saler, the rate for this class of business being 75 per cent. of the value of the part of the premises used for business. Kideckel said he could not afford to pay business as a wholesaler ard claimed that his wholesale business hac not been either large or profitable. He also did a retail business and thought he should be assessed on this basis which meant that his business taxes would be on a basis of the assessment of thinty per cent. of the value of the premises occupied. Mr. Kideckel also told the council that he had not had the store open or in use from Novemâ€" ber last year until April 10th this year and he thought he should have some reduction on this account. Councillor Dougall pointed out that there was no doubt that Mr. Kideckel had been conâ€" ducting a wholesale business and so the axsessment had been made on the cniy Dasis possible. Councillor Dougall _showed Mr. Kideckel‘s name in the Lelephone book listed as "wholesale ‘ruit," but Mr. Kideckel countered this 4y saying that he had not had a phone a year as he felt the business could rot afford it. Mayor Drew thought he cnly relief that could be given Mr. ZTidecksl in the case might be through ut allowance for the time the store was 10t in use, but as the store had not yeen kept clossd the council did not feel that any‘hing could be done along TOWN TO FLOOD OPEN AIR RINKS AGAIN THIS YFAR The regzular mseeting of the Timmins town council was held on Monday afâ€" ternoon wi‘th Mayor Geo. S. Drew in the chair and Councillors A. G. Carâ€" son, P. Dougall, R. Richardson, Alfred Caron and C. P. Ramsay present. Council Leaves Matter in Hands of Town Engineer to be Followed Along Lines of Last Year. Other Council Business. â€" J. P. Bart‘eman appeared before the zouncil in regard to the allowance askâ€" d for vacancy in the building on 3pruce street formerly used Bby The Fitizen. He said that the upstairs of ‘he buildinz had never been used and was not in condition for occupancy. In seply to the suggestion that part at ‘east of the upstairs had been actually ised Mr. Bartleman said that any such ise was without authority as only the rround ficor had been rented. The natter. was left over. Several small rebates for water rates were authorized in cases where the waâ€" ter had not been used cn account of reâ€" moval. M. Matonych again asked council for â€"onsideration of the case of the house 12 had purchased from Dr. Brown and moved t> another of the town. As this house had been unoccupied for several months during its removal and reâ€"mudelling he thoughs some rebate might be allowed. Council considered the case as presented but no action was taken. . There was a request before the counâ€" cil from the Telephone Company askâ€" ing for approval to change the town firse telkphone number to 1000. The Telephons Co. said that there was a plan to make a uniform number for all telephone nyumbers for firs departments in the North Land. The proposal was o have each and every fire hall in the North known as 1000. Anyone then would always know the fire hall numâ€" ber even if they woere out of their own town. This number would always be resarved for fire calls and ©1000" would som become co famous that everyone w>i!d know it as the fire call. Fire Ch‘sf PRBorland was asked for his opinâ€" ion on the ques:iizsn, and pointed out tha‘ to change th2 Timm‘ns number to "1007)‘ whi‘e Schumach:r had the same call be a d:ngerous thing. There would be chance for the greatest confusion as Schumacher had a numâ€" were authorized for payment. A payâ€" ment of $1250.00 on account was auâ€" thorized for the public library. An account of $125.00 being balance on the purchase of a no>w work team to replace the town team used on pubâ€" lic works was passed for payment. Payments on account to the high sublic and separate schools were passâ€" bar of streets and avenues of the. same names as Timmins. The people here were now well acquainted with the fire ball number and a change would be inâ€" convenient. Firs Chief Borland made it plain that he thought a change would be dangerous without serving any gcod purpose, and the council agreed with his view. Accordingly the clerk was asked to write the Telephone Co. asking that the present fire hall numâ€" ber be retained, and explaining why this was specially desirable under all the circumstances here. Councillor A. G. Carson asked counâ€" cH what was to be done this year in regard to the flooding by the town of rinks for the use of youngsters in variâ€" ous seciions of th> municipality. Last year the town fionded half a dozen small rinks at schools and other places for the benefit 0o‘ the youngsters. Council decided to have the enginser‘s department loosk after the matter again this year on a similar plan to last year. The only cost or trouble to the town is in the first floxling the rinks being maintained and keot of snow by e payroll and current accounts t fre» 0 GO0O0D NEWS EXPECTED FROM THE CHIBOTUTUGAMAU AREA mining district are again under way and it is expected that some interestâ€" ing information regarding the district and its operations since the freezeâ€"up ywill be forthcoming in the near future. Particular interest is focussed on the results of the diamondâ€"drilling camâ€" paign on the water section of Chibou-‘ Airplane flights to the Chibougamau‘ gamau claims of Chibougamau Prosâ€" pectors, Ltd., at Merrill island, where three drill outfits have been at work throughout the freezeâ€"up under the direction of Resident Engineer Lionel Brooke. This is the strike on which earlier drill results were productive of such excellent showings and it is exâ€" pected that cores to come out with first plane will establish not only a, continugation of high commercial values but closely check the direction of the oreâ€"bearing zone across the narrows toi the mainland from Merrill island. All| signs point to winter season of great | activity in Chibougamau proper and in the newly discovered Opemiska section of the Chibougamau district where the Lindsley interests are planning an en-: ergetic exploration campaign on proâ€". perties recently acquired which have returned surface showings of an amazâ€" ing character. In Chibougamau it,self.: Chibcugamau Prospectors Ltd., plan to carry on their diamond drill campaign with three drills in constant service. At Sorcever mountain a drilling camâ€" paign, said to be under the auspices of Dome, will be carried on to test depth values of properties held under optiocn from the Campbellâ€"Cooper in-! terests. The Blake syndicate, Fosberry . mines and Obalski Chibougamau Minâ€" ing company are others in the field. planning active winter caimpaigns. Councillor P. Dougall said that h2 understcod he had been appointed a member of the court of revision for this year at the last council mesting. It would be absolutely impossible for him to act in this capacity at the time the court would sit and he asked the counâ€" cil to appsint another member in his place. This was done, Councillor A. G. Carson being added to the court of reâ€" vision in place of Councillor Dcugall. younss.lers and cthers Blairmore (Alberta) Enterprise:â€" Then there was the Scottchman who bought the car because the clutch was thrown in On the occasion of his visit to Montreal, Great Britain‘s Premier, Right Hon.

Six Old Age Pensions Being Paid in Timmins Under the Old Age Pensions Act the town council can appoint a pensions bosard to deal with ‘applications under the act or can itself act in this capaâ€" city. The Timmins town council elected to deal with the Old Age Penâ€" sions cases itself and the whole counâ€" cil has been acting in this capacity, with I. E. Dunn as secretary. Up to the end of last week six applicaticns had been granted and all these six pensioners had duly received the first month‘s pansion under the act. There are half a dozen more applications to be dealt with, these being taken up at the meeting of the pensions board after the regular council meeting on Monday. Timmins is the only town in this part of the North that comes unâ€" der the section of the act requiring a separate pensions board, the applicaâ€" tions from all the rest of the area beâ€" ing dealt with by the District of Cochâ€" rane Old Age Pensions board, of which Mr. F. K. Ebbitt, of TIroquois Falls, is the secretary. The town of Timmins has to pay a part of all pensions granted in the town. Other municiâ€" palities in the district do not have to contribute in this way. pine AMobanee of McGill University. Mr. Macdonald and Mr. Beatty are seen in the above photograph as they were drawn through the campus of McGill by the enthusiastic students. On the boxâ€"seat is Max Ford, the students‘ cheerâ€"leader. Geo. B. Nicholson, formerly member of parliament in the Dominion house for Algoma East, is wellâ€"known in the North Land and has many friends in Timmins. Accordingly, there will be general interest in the announcement that the marriage took place on Saturâ€" day afternoon at Toronto of Mr. Nichâ€" olson and Mrs. Margaret W. Keefer, widow of the late F. H. Keefer, of Port Arthur, who was public trustee for Onâ€" tario at the time of his death. The ceremony was a quiet one, only the imâ€" mediate friends of the contracting parties being present. The couple left after the ceremony for a wedding trip after which they will take up residence at Chapleau, Ont., where Mr. Nicho!â€" son has made his home for several years. f GEO. B. NICHOLSON, EXâ€"M.P. WEDS AT TORONTO LAST WEEK When told on Monday that the American Newspaper Publishers‘ Assoâ€" ciation in special session in New York to protest against the proposed increase in the price of newsprint, had passed a resolution, to request the United States Federal Government to look into the situaticn, Premier G. Howard Ferguâ€" son, of Ontaric, interviewed at Atlantic City, N.J., said that he did not see the necessity for such action, or any basis on which the United States Governâ€" ment could act. PREMIER SEES NO CAUSE FOR AMERICTCAN INTERVENTION While reluctant to discuss this phage of the situation until he had a clearer idea as to just what action the pubâ€" lishers had taken at today‘s meeting, the Premier remarked that the question® of the price of newsprint, as far as Caâ€" nada was concerned, was purely a doâ€" mestic one. He said that they had no quarrel with the publishers as proâ€" vinces were only concerned about placâ€" ing the production of paper on a pro rata basis, so that it would be equitâ€" able for all the mills. He said that the ,present price of newsprint was lower than it had been for years. Only a few years ago, he said, it was $70 and $75 and that the manufacturers were insisting that an increase now was necessary. He said that the settlers, who cut the timber in Northern Ontario, only received $4.50 and $5 a cord for delivering it at the railroad. They had to supply their own teams and it did nost pay them. The speaker for the day at the Kiâ€" wanis Club on Monday at the Empirse hotel was Kiwanian Vincent Woodbury who>o took as the subject of his remarks the ideas of survival of immortality. In opening his very clever addrass he commented on the fact that this was a subject little discussed among laymen even when they were on terms of speâ€" cial friendship. Indeed, it was quit2 evident that the presentâ€"day attitude was along the idea of Henry Th:reau in his phrase, "One world at a time." Mr. Woodbury procseded to quots the ppinions of eminent thinkers, including Carlyle, Emerson, Spencer, Soâ€" crates, Robert Ingersoll, Georges Sand, Bruce Barton and others. Through the the writings of these men amil others, irrespective of their professed beliefs on spiritual matters, there seoemâ€" ed ta run the one sure though} of surâ€" vival in some form or other. The speaker also quoted: apt sceriptural verses bearing on the thought of imâ€" mortality. Mr. Wodbury thought the quest of truth in the matter of imnmorâ€" tality to be supremely well worth while, "And, perhaps," he said, "cur quest may resemble Nickajack Cave near Cha‘â€" the bank of the Tennessee river but the bank of the Teunessess river bu! its outlock is on Lookout mountain." Mr. Woodbury referred to the wa; people elaborate heaven and hell for themselves, comparing this to two b‘rd: Kiwanian VÂ¥.

"If we are not to perish," saic Mr. Woodbury, ‘"it is only because w‘ possess qualities that are of themselve: imperishable." The speaker referre to the joys of life, the struggles, th bitterness, the disappo‘intments n the uncertainty. The struggles m~d men strong for the battle and the rows gave a zest for joy. His conc‘ us fion of the whole matter he summ»d uy in the words:â€"*"The Future is Serens. ~The address by Mr. Woodbury wa:s greatly appreciated and won very gen eral favour. Dr. H. H. Moore reported to the cluk on :the matter of the pictures he ha: been asked to obtain from the medica board in regard to the"presentation c/ the case in the campaign against ven ereal diseases. These pictures are t be brought to town in the near fu ture. Several members o‘ the club hac sean these pictures and were that they were most beneficial in emâ€" phasizing the menace of this class 0o‘ discase. Jack Walker had secured two film showing the District Kiwanis Conven: tion at Bigwin Inn this summer, anâ€" these films were effectively presented by "Chip‘"‘ Ball. The pictures showe? many local and international Kiwanit celebritiecs and were much apprecia‘e and enjoyed. There was general regret at the fac that for the first time in five years W H. Wilson ("Scotty") was missing from the Kiwanis meeting. A couple o meetings previously it was discovered that=up to that time "seotty‘"‘ had a nindred per cent. attendance record for five full yearsâ€"a record not equallâ€" ed by any other member of the club Monday this week he was absent for the first time in five years, but it was because he was unable to leave his bed. Saturday evening, while fancy skating at the rink he fell and landing on hi hip suffered injuries that confined him to his bed. All Kiwanis and others will wish him a sure and speedy reâ€" covery. perienced fliers "acrocs the pond‘" will !make a beiter success of it. In any event there are many very skilled and ‘experienced airmen who hold that th: ‘Nor‘;h Land route is the most practical and acceptable one for lmghts. NEW TRANSATLANTIC A/R SERVICE TO USE NORTH ROUTE A paragraph in The Scots Observer. of Edinburgh, Scotland, says:â€""IDS is understaod at Croydon Aerodrome that a Canadian Transport Company is in n>zotiation with the Imperial Airynuy: for the inauguration of an air service connecting Britain and Canada, to be operated by big flying boats travellinz via Scotland, Iceland and Greenland. Bcth the British and Canadian Govâ€" ernments are said to be interested in the project." This item should be of general interâ€" est in this North as the proposed new air service referred to would use the air route through this part of Ontario and with Cochrans: as one the airports, It will be remembered that last year this route was attempted by Am2rican who, however, were not able to make a success of it. At the time it was pointed out tha‘ the failure was not due to the rsute, but to cther conâ€" ditions. Perhaps, the skilled and exâ€" Torouto Mail and the Arab boycott of the Jews and the Jewish hymn cof hate, recently prohibâ€" ited publication, Palestine is having a lovely time of it.
