ARCHER, Ontario : 6â€"18p } The following is a summary <(of the | results of the tournament:â€" | Semiâ€"Firal ‘90 a.m. | Championship Flight Miss Brigham won from Mrs. Moore. Miss Jamieson woan ‘from Kedâ€" "Bhould the idea find favour in Timâ€" mins in particular, and that town inâ€" duces the railways. to run the train and gets together the sports teams for the trip, a real large crowd may be brought here for the day at half fare or less, with profit to the railways. There are hundreds of persons in the gold camp who have long wished to visit Kapuskasing, and this would be their great opportunity. It is safe to say that the citizens of Kapuskasing would do all they could to entertain them throughout the day." "The Northern Tribune thinks this suggestion a most timely one, and has estimated that if it is possible to orâ€" ganize a sports day here for the benâ€" efit of the visitors on that day, the success of the excursion would be doubly assured. Various yi»rsons to whom the idea has been remitted have thought this could be done, and if there is any indication that the special train will be run from Timmins, they are agreed to act promptly and plan a good day of sporting contests. Both Cochrane and Timmins might be inâ€" duced to send along football, softball. and baseball teams, if indeed other centres as well did not also send their sporting contingents to try conclusions. (From The Northern Tribune) "Last week‘s issue of ‘the Porcupine Advance contained a urmeful editorial suggestion that on the occasion of the annual farmers‘ excursion to the Exâ€" perimental â€" Farm at Kapuskasing (which date we understand has been tentatively fixed fur August 21st), the special train should be run from Timâ€" mins instead of just starting out from Cochrane as in previous years. The Advance goes on to enumerate the many advantages to Tarmers accruing from a pleasant day‘s visit ‘to the big Government Farm hbere, and thinks that the governments, or the railways, should undertake to run the special train from the gold camp, so that all who wished to come might do so at the lowest possible cost. Mrs. Kester, Mrs.‘Brigham and Mrs. Moore tied in the approaching and putting competition. This Week On Friday of tikis week the features of the ladies® goelf will be a handicap competition, and fhe presentation of prizes.

Dunn Speaking at New Liskeard last week Col."‘Mac Lang, candidate for the Liberâ€" al party in South Temiskaming in the present Federal election, and member for the riding in the last parliament, announced that a new post office would be erected in New Liskeard, and that work would commence at once. The new building, he said, would cost $60,â€" 000.00, and will be located on the site of the former Binkley block, which was destroyed some months ago by fire. According to despatches from North Bay, Harry Montey, Kincade avenue, Hamilton, was held up anmd trobbed earâ€" ly on Friday morning hy three thugs who relieved him of $45.00 m cash, and then permitted him to continue his journey. It was nearly one o‘clock when Montey was accosted at the brow of Close‘s Hill, about two miles north of Powassan, by three men who asked him to stop. Thinking there was a wreck or something of that sort, he complied. When his car stopped three men surrounded the car and demanded his money. He had $45 in a roll and this was taken. Montey was then p>râ€" mitted to go on and on arrival at North Bay he reported the circumstances. Three men, he said, were in the gang, two of them taXl and dressed in dark clothes, and the other was comparaâ€" tively short and had on a khaki colorea suit. Provincial Constables Smaill, of North Bay and Simpson, of Parry Bound, and Highway Officer Berard. North Bay, were soon on the scene of the robbery, and searched intenâ€" sively for the thieves. Mr. Montey left North Bay for Chelmsford., where he will visit relaâ€" tives. Foriunately for him he did not believe in carrying all his eggs in one basket but taking a leaf from the ladies, had part of his money in one soft drinks indicates ‘that ‘the crowd was an unusually large one. At the E cutset the crowd was so targe that the committee had a busy ‘time in providâ€" ing accommodaition for all but this situation was soon overeome und all | were shortly on their wauy to what was lgcneraily voted as @n Ideal day‘s outâ€" ing. The ice tream und soft drinks booth was speedily opened up after the picnic ground was reached, a@and this for youngsters and adults alike was one of the extra specials ‘in ‘@ ‘big day. ’There was o limit to the ice cream and soft d@rinks and by the levening everyone was more than well satisfied. Lixnch was served at 1 p.m. and proved a very heppy feature of the \day. The afternoon was spent in races, games and sports, ‘there. being events for children antl grownâ€"ups alike. The chiel Ttuce was a live conâ€" test between a Isig "Cousin Jack" and a heavy weight from Wales, A. Lucas joining in to see fair mplay, and the "Cousin Jack" winning a good length. There was very general apâ€" preciation expressed ito ‘the S.0.E. and the comumiittee in charge for the wonâ€" derful picnic, the way the races were handled and the menpneriin which the refreshments were served. On Monday R of this week quite a mumber came to various members of The committee sugâ€" gesting that the pignic was so good that it would be a fime ‘idea to have another like it. This ittea will be duly discussed and considrred ‘by the S.0.E., and in the meantime ifhe society would like to thank the public for the generâ€" ous support accorded and to suggest that with such support ‘thke public may be assured that the SOF. will do its part. If the support is continued through the winter morniths it is certain that the S.0.E. will ‘be in position to look after the summer pleasure of all its friends. | ANMWIALAILCU,_ ALAi1iL OVL YÂ¥ d AJ Y LCO3 | es says that paissersby about 10.30 p.m. saw a flashlight operating in the interâ€" ior of the @iffice and Enkpector W.

The day was a beautiful one for the occasâ€" ion and full advantagre was taken of the fine weather. The arrangements had been well made for the occasion and the affair went along smoothly and pleasantly from start to finish, and everyone had a very happy time. The attendance at the event was larger than expected. The fact thut 220 men, women and children passed the secreâ€" tary for tickets for the ice cream and Under the Auspices of T.B.A.A. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 24th, 1980 Another pleasing dance by the Strollâ€" ers Club is announced for Wednesday evening, July 30th, to be held in the MciIintyre hall, Schumacher. The Strollers have won the reputation for putting on superior dances of the most ‘kind sand the one on July 30th is hopmd and expected to exceed all previous numbers in its enjoyment and general success. Tommy Stephens and his effective orchestra will be there with the music that will set all feet going and please all as usual and alâ€" ways. Dancing will be from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., and refreshments will be a special feature of the evening. The dance on Wednesday of next week, July 30th, is for the benefit of the Timmins Junior Baseball Club, and so the object of the dance is a very worthy and deâ€" serving one. The purpose for which the event is being held should assure a large crowd, and in addition it should be remembered that this particular dance is not anly for an excellent purâ€" pose, but the event itself will undcubtâ€" edly be a most enjoyable one, with all the features of the occasion the very best in every particular. Considerable excitement was createa at Ctbalt last week by it coming i; attention that a strange man was prowling about the inside of the pos: office after the buikling had closed for the night. The police were sent for atter the man ws seen inside, but the offender made good his escape before the officers arrived. The police were unable to find anything tampered with, and the post offce staff after a genera® checkâ€"up came to the conclusion that the intruder ‘had taken nrnothing but was simply prowling around. Who he was or why ‘he was there cannot be learned. The‘story as told by despatchâ€" es says that paissersby about 10.30 p.m. saw a flashlight operating in the interâ€" ior of the @#iffice and Enxkpector W. T. Moore, at provincial police district headquarters, was notified by teleâ€" phone. Sergeant George Delves wa:s soon on the scene, but the man had departed by this time, leaving no trace behind.

ENTRY GAINED TQO COBALT POST OFFICE LAST WEDNESDAY pl e AMobantr ! _ Likewise, splendid work was performâ€" ed by staffs of the other railroads afâ€" fected by the freshets. Some lines were ~concerned more than others, and it would have been extremely difficult to foresee the situations that developed. Under the pressure of raging floods rcadbeds must fall to pieces, and wrecks often result, and after all, it is 'credit,able to all concerned that there were not more accidents and more ‘lives lost than were recorded. There may be some justification, however, for 'the impression that some sections 6. 'the Canadian National have not been | kept up to a high standard in the matâ€" ter of repair. While a program of expansion has been going forward, it is possible that certain branches and ,areas may have been overlooked. The episodes of the last week may constiâ€" tute good reason for a thorough inâ€" srection in this regard. Mail and Empire:â€"Onse Alaska missionary has qualified as a real "sky pilot," The Rev. George H. Woodley, S.J., does not propose to trek through long days with dog teams over snow or glaciers nor to paddle a canoe to isolated mission posts of four parâ€" ishes in his charge. He has secured two Fairchild cabin planes with skis and pintoons and will be able to land unâ€" der warious conditions of weather. Father Woodley will carry supplies, books and medicines to distant villages from Anchorage, Alaska. The cabin planes also can be used as emergency ambulanzes. The manner in which the whole situâ€" ation was handled reflects credit upon the management of the road. A big new trestle had to be erected at Dickâ€" son‘s Creek, and through traffic was only resumed on Thursday, after being interrupted for a whole week as a reâ€" sult of th2> storm. The washout at Dickson‘s Creek near Haileybury, was the most serious trouble the officials have had to conâ€" tend with in years. On the Silver Centre branch of the line it is stated that no fewer than 20 washouts of varyving size were reported. (From The North Bay Nugget)....... ~The Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway during the recent heavy floods, which brought them conâ€" ditions unprecedented in railway hisâ€" tory in the north, has been enabled to extend its record for capable adâ€" ministration. Noting the exceptionally heavy rains on Thursday evening, Superintendent W. A. Griffin called off all trains, and this action most likely saved the loss of much property and perhaps some lives. At last he decided that Jeannette MacDonald was the perfect type. She was beautiful, she was a talented acâ€" tress and she could sing. She was just finishing an engagement in the Broadâ€" way show ‘"Boom! Boom;" and was imâ€" mediately placed under contract for "The Love Parade." Maurice Chevalier is cast in the role of a prince who marries a queen and becomes a very stern prince consort who refuses to be ruled according to ancient ‘traditions. Ten popular hits form the basis for the musical backâ€" ground. sSPLENDID WORK BY THE T. N. 0. RAILWAY STAFFS "The girl with the redâ€"gold hair and the seaâ€"green eyes," known to the musical comedy world as Jeanette MacDonakl, has gone "talkie" through a whim of fate. Ernest Lubitsch, the famous Girector, went in search of a proper leading lady for Maurice Cheâ€" valier for "The Love Parade," the screen‘s first original musical romance. In New York Lubitsch attended every musital show and every show in proâ€" duction in search of the perfect type he desired for the role of Queen Louise. Good Music and Good Ideas in Hit, "The Love Parade" The special picture, ‘"The Love Parâ€" ade," to be at the Goldfields theatre on Friday and Saturday of this week, July‘ 25th and 26th, with Maurice Chevalier as the star, has so many points of particular interest that it is difficult to know where to begin or stop in referring to it. It has rich settings, lavish costumes, modernistic fittings, music of unusual merit, with melodies on the violin, organ, etc., and haunting song hits that are sure to be popular. Maurice Chevalier was here in "Innoâ€" cents of Paris," and so will need no inâ€" troduction. He is an figure in the talkie world. In the early morning hours of Friday | last four young people reiurning from Bayside Beach in a Durant car had a narrow escape when the car in which they were riding hit one of the wooden posts of the bridge, crossing the cyanâ€" | ide just past the Dome dam. The post gave way and the car hurtled into the cyanide bed below, smashing it so thas it is practically a complete wreck. Luckily, however, the four occupants, two young men, and two young ladies, were not injured more than receiving a good shaking up and a certain amount | of shock. One of the young men was ; from the Dome. The others were from immins. The car was later hauled }out by a wrecker from the western part of the township, the bridge being 'pulled considerably more to pieces to | enable them to get at the damaged car. The Northern News last week says:â€" "Kirkland Lake was pleased to weliâ€" come this week, an honored citizen of many years standing, Lord Redesdale and his daughter, the Hon. Pamela Metford, who returned from Burford, Oxfordshire on Suday. They will reâ€" side at this property next to the Canâ€" adian Kirkland for the summer."
