Apart from the cases of the seven in the unlawful parade on Sunday, perâ€" haps the chief case of interest at the week‘s police court was that of an unâ€" amployed man who thought to make a dollar or two through the sale of lotâ€" tery tickets on one of the overseas sweepstakes. He made the mistake of using the sidewalk in front of the post office as a selling place, and though adâ€" vised this was a poor place for this sort of illegal selling, he kept on until Frovincial Constable Hartlieb happened akmg.

It was understood however, that they would obey the civic byâ€"law requiring the carrying of the Union Jack. One of the speakers, however, in calling on his followers to fall in for the parade said the red flag was the only flag they should carry. This roused the ire of the crowd of citizens gathered. The result was a clash between the foreigners and the citizens. The reds, about 300 strong, attempted to march behind the red flag and this proved too much for the Canadians and other Britishers. One of the Sudbury plainclothesmen wrested the red flag from the leader and then part of the reds broke away and started to stone the citizens. One policeman was hit by a rock and knocked down.

There is no chance for those here to all secure employment and the position is only made the worse by others flockâ€" ing in They should be warned away, and then if they persist in coming here, harsher methods should be used. With all the kindness in the world this town can not afford to keep all the unemâ€" ployed of a)l the country. The town, indeed, can not afford to keep all it has now to look after. Southern towns and cities have been all too ready to try to get rid of their surplus unemployed by telling them things are good in the North. Not only is it not fair to thus transfer the burden to the North but it has a limit that has already been reached. A man from Cochrane this week admitted they hustled transients out of that town advising them to come to Timmins. Unfortunately Timâ€" mins has enough now. Other towns and cities should look after their own unemployed. The governments also should play the game in this matter. It would look like good business in the meantime for Timmins to secure adâ€" vertising along the lines adopted by Kirkland Lake. There is no work for know this, as well the town.

The ypiizes at the cards were won by the followâ€" ing:â€"ladies, first, Mrs. ‘P. Rain:<ford; special, Mrs. T. Poy; gentlemsn, first, Ted Smale; special, T. Foy. A very plessant evening was spent by all presâ€" ent. Among the invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. Rainsford, Mr. and Mrs. McCann, Mr. and Mrs. T. Foy, Ted Smale, E. Hines A very enjoyable evening came to a close with all wishâ€" ing Mrs. Rainsford and family bon voyage on the coming trip to the Old Country. there are hopes now that a still lower fixed rate will be secured. With a large consumption of coal from Alberta sold in Ontario the reduction of the rate would be the more likely. Mr. Clarry estimates that 250,000 to 300,000 tons of coal are used in the North each year, and if a material proportion of this big order could be turned to Alberta it would be a good thing for many inâ€" terests, including the railways of Canâ€" ada. With a $5.00 per ton rate it is claimed that Alberta could sell a inilâ€" lion tons of coal in Ontario and that practically all the requirements of this part of the North would be met by the coal from Alberta. Mr. Clatry was in the North in the interests of the coal industry generally and not for any individual company or companies. Major Pullen, who was in the North reâ€" cently for one Alberta mining corporaâ€" tion did excellent work in popularizing Alberta coal in this district. The work of Mr. Clarry should be even more valuable, emphasizing as it does Alâ€" berta coal in general for the various needs and requirements. home of Mr. and Mrs. A. P.

RAINSFORD, SUNDAY in their line, The present ‘seems an opportune time to feature Alberta coal here. The »tariff, the regulations against dumping, the exchange on the Canadian dollar in the United States and other features give an advantage to Alberta coal. The chief advantage, of course, in Mr. Clarry‘s argument is the value of the coal itself, but the other items can not ‘be overlooked at this time. The freight charges are the one drawback and efforts are still being carried on to secure further preferenâ€" tial rates on coal from the West to Ontario. After considerable effort and agitation a freight rate of $6.75 was secured on Alberta coal to Ontario and mate purpose of increasing the use of Alberta coal in this area Mr. Clarry was giving attention not only to the requirements for domestic purposes but also for the needs in industrial lines. In touching on the question Mr. Clarry emphasized the fact that there are two distinct types of coal in Albertaâ€"doâ€" mestic and industrial. Each of these types has its special purposes and Mr. Clarry thinks each of them superior E. S. Clarry, trade commissioner for the province of Alberta, was visitor to the North last week.

The visitors were handicapped by the fact of the long trip they had made from North Bay, but this did not preâ€" vent them putting up a very worthy game. It has to be admitted, however, that making allowance for all handiâ€" caps, they had to face a team more than their match. The Timmins lads took the lead early in the game and were in control of the play to finish. The team work of the Timmins team was specially worthy of note and made them a difficult team indeed to defeat. Though the visitors were bigger and heavier than the loscal lads the Timâ€" mins boys had the edge on them in speed and effectiveness. This is not by any means to say that North Bay did not play well, for they put up an exâ€" cellent exhibition of good basketball and have no reason to be ashamed of the showing they made. Their imâ€" provement over the teams of previous years was notsworthy. Though all the visitors played well, the stars for North Bay were Morton, Dowdall, Jessop and Fellman.

This week a new feature was introduced when the town was bombarded with posters in the guise of a newspaper, making the whole excursion no more than a feeder for Toronto trade. Citizens should not take the trip simply as a "buying" trip, as now planned by some of the Toâ€" ronto stores. That will not be good business from any standpoint. Before thinking of making purchases in Toâ€" ronto or elsewhere, try your local merâ€" chants, compare values and prices, and then you will decide to trade at home where you can do the better and get the better service. It may be good economy to use the excursion toâ€"morâ€" row to get cheap trip to Toronto and return, but it will be poor economy in the end to make it a purchasing trip. Try your local stores first and you will be convinced. When the railways announced unâ€" usually cheap fares to Toronto and reâ€" turn for Friday of this week there was great interest.
