Says Attorneyâ€"General Will Act as Soon as Report Ready Action Understood to be Taken to Clean up Question of Traffic in Jobs in the North. Canadian and Other Briâ€" tish People Much Concerned that Jobs Should Not be Bought or Sold. es sn e e h gested is that $100.00 or $200.00 is easily recovered when highâ€"grading is carried on, the impflication being that highâ€" gracding is a general sequel to the jobâ€" buying business. It seems an odd coin=â€" cidence that the purchase of jobs is strictly confined to foreigners and highâ€"grading is also confined very largely to the same type of foreigners. Any mine that would dismiss this class of foreigner would likely reduce its highâ€"grading loss by seventyâ€"five per cent. While complaints have been general in the camp for years in regard to the alleged traffic in jobs, the matter more or less came to a head some weeks ago when a case at South Porcupine was withdrawn. In asking to withdraw the case, the Crown Attorney S. A. Caldâ€" bick said â€"placed in a rather awkward position in this cause. The information on which this charge was laid was given to me and to the provincial police officers by men emâ€" ployed at the Hollinger Mine on the understanding that it would not be usâ€" ed unless they would be assured that their jobs would be secure after the case was finished. I find now that I am unâ€" able to give them this assurance, and as the information was given on that unâ€" derstanding and since I am unable to give them that assurance, I am forced to withdraw the case." "Well," responded Magistrate Atkinâ€" son, "I would advise you to take this matter up with the Attorneyâ€"General‘s Department for further investigation, and have them look into the matter more fully." In referring to the matter at the time, The Advance pointed out that the provincial plice had been working on the matter for some time and had gathered considerable evidence. It was understood that there were about twenty witnesses available for giving evidence on the understanding that they would not lose their jobs after the case was over. When the Crown Atâ€" torney found he could not give his witâ€" nesses any such assurance he was left in the position that he could not call these witnesses without breaking faith with them, and as a consequence the case was withdrawn. Continuing The Advance said:â€" ference:!:â€"â€"â€" "Withdrawal of a case as South Porâ€" cupine against John Krancovich of operating an employment agency withâ€" out a license was due to aa dozen witâ€" nesses who had been summoned to give evidence against him, refusing to testify for fear of losing their jobs, according to reports received by the Attorneyâ€"General‘s Department. Three weeks ago the matter was brought to the attention of Hon. W. H. Price, Atâ€" torneyâ€"General, who placed it in the hinds Gf _ Deputyâ€"Attorneyâ€"General Edward Bayly, K.C., for investigation. Since then it has been the subject of correspondence between Timmins and Queen‘s Park. "As soon us I get Mr. Bayley‘s reâ€" port," stated Col. Price to The Star toâ€" aay, "I will act." Paid Circulation Last Week Chas. A. Fowler, Governor of Kiâ€" wanis for Ontarioâ€"Quebecâ€"Maritime District, paid an official visit to Timâ€" mins Kiwanis Club last Thursday, Sept. 29th. He was accompanied by Mrs. Fowler, and also by Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, of Halifax, NS. The Goverâ€" nor of Kiwanis is a member of the Halifax, N. S. Kiwanis Club, of which Mr.~Spencer is the viceâ€"president. ~On arrival here the visitors were taken around town and immediate district and shown the places of interest. «+ e Governor of Kiwants a Visitor to Timmins Charles A. Fowler and. Party Enter tained by Timmins Kiwanis Club on Thursday Evening of Last Week. Ladies‘ Night,. Thursday evening there was an evenâ€" ing meeting of the Kiwanis Club to welcome the Governor It was ladies night, and there was a large attenâ€" dance at the Empire notel of the memâ€" bers and their ladies. After justice had been done to the menu provided by the hotel there was a programme of special interest. Community singing featured the evening. The toast to the ladies was effectively given by Kiwanâ€" ian Dr. Lee Honey. A solo, "Only a Rose," by Mrs. P. H. Carson, won very decided applause. The address of welâ€" come to the Governor was ably given by Kiwanian Robt. Dye. The Governor was introduced in very pleasing way by Kiwanian J. R. Walker. Kiwanis District Governor Chas. A. Fowler after local references and exâ€" pressing his pleasure at this, his first visit to Timmins, chose as the title of his address, "Friendship in Depression" He mentioned that he was in the midâ€" dle of covering his Kiwanis territory which actually embraced a million square miles. He asked all his fellow Kiwanians in this broad area to do all possible to wipe out all intolerance and set an example to the other millions of square miles in the world. He pointed| out that those men who have severed their connection with Kiwanis, giving the depression as a reason have lost more then they could possibly gain. He touched on the work of the pioâ€" neers, suggesting the moral that their enterprise and courage gave. He deemed it the duty of every Kiwanian to nourish and to cherish harmony beâ€" tween the people of the different proâ€" vinces .pf Canada. He believed that the Maritime provinces and the North were setting an example in treading the highway of national friendship. He looked to the day when Canada‘s trade would flow chiefly east and west, rather than north and south as at preâ€" sent. Many other interesting and imâ€" pressive points were touched upon by the Governor before he brought his laddress to an eloquent conclusion. A solo by Lucien Jutras was standing number on the prCc and was much appreciated. Dr. H. H. Moor Timmins Kiwanis the evening in | genial way. of W, H.

AY AY Time Extended for Depositing of Bonds FOUXN UNCONSCIOUS ON THE sTREET AND THOUGHT DEAD Damage Caused by Snow Storm Here Only Seventyâ€"Five Per Cent, of Bonds of Ontario Power Service Deposited on Oct. 1st. Some on the Way to Toronto. On October ist, the date set for thel depositing of the Ontario Power Serâ€" vice Corporation bonds under the terms of the Ontario Government‘s ofâ€" fer to purchase the Abitibi Canyon power develooment, only 75 per cent. of the bonds had been deposited though the Government had asked for at least 90 per cent. by this date. It was reported in Toronto last week that it was known that a number of bonds were in transmission from the holders and that the total percentage of bonds deposited would likely run close to the ninety per cent. that had been asked. No official announcement has been, made in the matter but it is underâ€" stood that less than the 90 per cent. of the bond issue was deposited as reâ€" quired by the Government, by October 1st but that the time was extended for a few days to allow for the balance of the ninety per cent. to be received. When the matter of the probable exâ€" tension of the time for depositing the bonds was mentioned to Premier Henry he could not see any reason to object to such a procedure under the circumstances. In this connection The Cilobe last week said:â€"*"*Premier Henry could see no reason last night why such as extension should not be granted. Mr. Henry, had just returned from a three weeks‘ vacation in Northern Onâ€" tario and was not quite familiar with what had transpired in regard to the |‘bonds during his absence, but will make 'it his business toâ€"day to consult memâ€" bers of his Cabinet on that and other points in connection with the suggestâ€" ed Canyon development acquisition." The objections made to the purchase of the Abitibi Canyon power developâ€" ment have largely faded away. As a matter of fact the chief objection was the belief that the price paid was too high. To many, further consideration has reduced the force of this objection. In any event, apart from the question xÂ¥ cost, there seems to be a very genâ€" made in stood that the bond quired by 1st but th a few day the ninet Pelephone Service Affected Through Weight of Soft Snow on Wires, Many Trees Injured and Some Ruined by Snow Storm Tuesday Night. was so now t Gurvive eral desire that the Hydro should enter the North for the benefit of the North and there would be considerable disapâ€" pointment if the Abitibi Canyon propoâ€" sition fell through. There are few inâ€" geed who would favour the dropping of the purchase just because a few shares were lacking to make the percentage of bonds deposited asked for by the Govâ€" ernment.

Whatever camé to the attention of the association would be treated to the best of their ability and on its merits he said. There was considerable discussion on a great many topics, on some of which there was not complete information available, but the first motion of imâ€" portance made by the meeting was when it was decided that the qualificaâ€" tion for membership should include anyone owning property or paying taxes on property, business, or poll tax or paying rent. a grealt m there wa: available, portance when it w tion : for There were some of those who felt that membership sh restricted to those paying: bigility to vote was also disct the qualification but this was « to as it would be unfair to ma citizens, who because they + taken out naturalization pape not eligible to vote.

In the meantime it is practically assured that there will be special disâ€" plays and dressed windows in the stores with prizes for the best dressed winâ€" dows, and there is suggestion of a parâ€" ade and other features to impress on all the desirability of using Ontaricoâ€" grown products of the farm and garden, Y said. iscussion on mne of which information se present should be taxes.

Messrs Pomerleau and Nixon were interesting the people of Timmins in the plan and to this end interviewed Mayor Geo. S. Drew. It is hoped to secure the active interest of the Kiwanis Club or the Timmins board of trade, or both, so that the plans so far as Timmins is concerned may go over well. wWith the purpose of assisting the farmers and market gardeners at the present time the Ontario Dept. of Agri« culture has taken up the "Ontario Farm Products Week" idea, the plan being to further popularize Ontarioâ€" grown products. There is no enmity against the products of other provinces or other countries but it is felt that the greater use of Ontario farm products will not only mean advantage to the farmers of this province but will also mean benefit to the people of the proâ€" vince in general from the superior goods secured as well as from the additional profit that. is sure to accrue to all t%ugh renewed prosperity for the farâ€" A circular from the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture in referring tothe planâ€" ned Farm Products Week says:â€"*"The week of Oct. 17th to 22nd has been chosen as "Ontario Farm Products Week," the primary idea behind the movement being to encourage the greater use of Ontarioâ€"grown products. Plans have been made to sponsor an "Ontario Farm Products Contest" for retail merchants in all cities in the province during this special week. Folâ€" lowing are two slogans which are beâ€" ing widely used in this campaign: "Ontario Farm Products are Freshest and Best" and "If the Farmer Can Sell He Will Buy." The whole project is under the personal direction of Mr. J. B. Fairbairn, Deputy Minister of Agriâ€" culture, and special representatives have been appointed for certain disâ€" tricts in the province. An appeal will also be made to merchants in towns and villages to specialize in Ontario Farm Products during the week of October 17 to 22, and it is expected that Window Dressing contests will be stagâ€" ed in all the cities and larger towns. The coâ€"operation and assistance of everyone is asked in this very worthy project, which should have very definâ€" ite benefits for farmers in the way of increasing the demand for their proâ€" ducts."
