Work has started on a fine new reâ€" Last Friday Scuth Porcupine and Dome Juniors played a 4â€"4 tie on Dome grounds in a game full of exciting moments. M. Murphy‘s goal that tied the score was the prettiest piece of work of the whole game. He jumped to intercept a pass and pivoted to shoot on goal so quickly Myers hadn‘t chance. Basil Doran (2) and Creed third act. R. Murphy robbed Johnson and passed to Smith on a dangerous rush but Hodnett made a good save. The visitors pressed hard for extra counters but Esselstine was up to their tricks The next game to be played at Timmins on Wednesday, June 28th promises to be exciting as Timâ€" mins had the upper hand in the earlier part of this game and had taste enough of supremacy to want to keep it that way next time. Fisher strengthened the team very much. The senior team play in New Ligkeard on July lst. _Timmins Juvenile team will play Scouth Porcupine at the Dome grounds on this Friday, June 30th. The opening game of senior lacrosse was played on Dome grounds on Wedâ€" nesday last ‘between Timmins and South Forcupine. It was fast and snappy throughout. G. Countryman was referee and the teams lined up:â€"â€" Timmins â€" goal, Hodnett; defence, Emard, Porter; centre, Arundel; rover, Fisher; home, Sauve, Johnson; spares, E. Arundel, Clare, Houle, Gardiner. Domeâ€"goal, Esselstine; defence, Smith, J. Murphy; centre, Thomas; rover, Massecar; home, Harrison, McArthur; spares, R. Murphy, H. McLean, Lowry, Montgomery, Parsons. Massecar was the first to dent the twine from McArâ€" thur‘s pass. Fisher soon tied the score tallying for Timmins. A combination Fisher to Sauve to Clare, looked like ancther but Esselstine caught it. Fishâ€" er took Emard‘s pass and worked in clese for the next shot putting the visiâ€" tors one up but McLean came back with one for Dome. J. Murphy got away on a speedy rush down right but Johnson rcbbed him. Just before the close of the first Clare in his excitement took a somersault over Esselstine, but scorâ€". ed. Timmins, 3; Dome, 2. Scarcely' had they got their stride in the second? when Arundel made it 4â€"2 for Timmins. Timmins tired and Harry McLean, high school boy playing with the seniâ€" ors, featured in piling up the sesre for Dome to 7â€"4.. He was assisted in many of his plays by Lowry, these two workâ€" ing together like two fitted cogs in a machine. "Reéd" McArthur and Garâ€" diner did some strenuous checking of each other but when it came to going down the field armâ€"inâ€"arm with Fisher the referee objected, and "Red" was sent to the side lines to sit with folded arms for a while. A deadâ€"heat down the field between Fisher and Jack Murphy was one of the thrillers of the junior matriculation with three firsts thus cbtaining the complete junior matriculation standing all with first class honours. She is also writing 5 Upper School papers this year. Mary Gallagher last year obtained 8 first and 1 second, her junior matriculation this year with three firsts, thus obtaining 11 firsts.and 1 second for junior matricuâ€" lation. Mary.is writing 6 Upper School subjects this year. Harry Verner is in the Form III <«Middle School for his first year and completed 9 papers with 8 firsts and 1 second class honours. Harry is the winner of the special Simpson prize presented annually for general proficiency in Form III. All certificates and prizes will be presented at the commencement exercises held in the fall, at the same time as athletic cups and prizes, etc. In being promoted from Form I to Form II Elina Wuori stood first in her class of 29 and from Form II to Form III Betty Gallagher stood first in her class of 24. All join in congratulating these pupils and wishing them further success. Lower School promotion reâ€" ports were posted to each parent last week indicating whether the pupil was promoted or not and if not, the reason. «. MICHABL the first Irishman to win the covetâ€" ed Victoria Cross in the Great War, is now a carriage attendant at the Mayfair Hotel in London. Michael startled the world in 1915 during a raid against the enemy‘s lines at Guinchy. He "practically captured the enemy‘s position by himself" by singleâ€"handed action against a barâ€" ricade of Germans. ~He killed five with his bayonet, shot three others, and took tw prisoners. lay the blame on charge of manslaughter. He was givâ€" en a preliminary hearing befcore Magisâ€" trate Atkinson and was committed for trial in connection with the death of The Advance Want Ad There was much: interest throughout the North in the case at Kirkland Lake where Carl Junice, of Krugersdorf, met death following a fall. He and a numâ€" ber of friends had been at a party and afterwards Junice wanted to visit the apartments of a young lady friend, it is said. In trying to persuade him otherwise, his friend, Wm. Selmar, pushed or struck him, and Junice fell to the ground. . In falling he struck his head. Apparently Junice had his skull fractured. â€"This was not apparent at the time, and the party started to reâ€" turn to Krugersdor{. When they reached that place it was found that Junics had not recovered as expected and, so it was decided to return to Kirkland Lake to have proper medical attention for the injured man. Junice is said to have passed away on the trip back from Krugersdor{! to Kirkland Lake. As scon as it was known that Junice was dead, Selmar notified the police. Selmar impressed the police so much with his account of the way the accident happened that he was not held. When the coroner‘s jury sat on the case the verdict brought in did not Wm. Selmer Committed in Kirkland Lake Court "Under the present plan a municiâ€" pality contributes $200 per family and the provincial and federal governments ctntribute $200 apiece, as an initiat contribution toward settlement in New Ontario. Ten dollars per month is paid cut of this as upkeep. As to the adeâ€" quacy of the arrangement there may be some criticism, and certainly someâ€" thing more is necessary than to ‘put pecple on the land and leave tnem there to shift for themselves with the aid of a small monthly allowance. There must be governmental superâ€" visicn and watchâ€"care over them until they are well established. But the thing is worth doing. It is worth while from the viewpoint of filling up our vacant lands and from the viewpoint, too, of restcring hundreds of families to a condition of selfâ€"respecting selfâ€" support." The following is a view of the backâ€" toâ€"theâ€"land scheme, as seen by The Toronto Star:â€" "Confused reports continue to come cut of New Ontario with respect to the â€" government‘s backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land campaign.â€" The latest charge is that someone has been sending readyâ€"made editorials to Northern papers and in this way seeking to commit them to favourable comment on the scheme alâ€" though some of them are very critical of it. Undoubtedly it has been a failâ€" ure with respect to certain families, but if this was due to lack of care in selectâ€" ing the families to be settled, or to lack of judgment in selecting the land on which they were placed, their unforâ€" tunate experience proves nothing with respect to the project‘s inherent merits. It is an indication that greater care and judgment must be exercised, but nothing more than that. "But whatever the actual prcportion may be, it should not be large if careâ€" fully selected families are placed on carefully selected farms. It goes without saying that a family without farming cess on a farm which an experienced farmer has had to abandon. But there must be many families on relief who know how to farm; there must be many even in Torontc. Toronto has sent none to the North; nor, apparâ€" ently, has York. But East York has 19 families participating in the governâ€" ment‘s project, Scarboro 13, North York 11 and Etobicoke 2. steads. If this were the permanent percentage, it would not be a bad reâ€" cord. "There will, of course, be some failâ€" ures. There are bound to be some, no matter what precautions may be taken. The Hon. Wm. Finlayson said recently that out of 210 families settled in Norâ€" thern Ontario during the past year, only six families, or less than three per cent., have abandoned their homeâ€" "It seems reasonable that a province with as much spare farming land as Ontario has, and as many families on relief as Ontario has, should be gable to place quite a number of suitable families on suitable land, and thus set them on the road to ultimate indeâ€" uendence. Where this can be done, there is a present and future gainâ€" not only a monetary gain (which will be future rather than pressnt) but an immediate gain in selfâ€"respect brought about by a measure of selfâ€"support. Families thus dealt with will feel that they are at least ‘being given an opporâ€" tunity to do something toward their own upkeep, with the hope that they will finally require no help at all. the forest fire rangers at Latchford had a big battle with a bush fire in the Latchford area. The fire is thought to have originated from lightning. About 15 or 20 acres were burned over before the fire was subdued. Men and pumps were taken to the scene by plane. There were a number of forest fires started last week in the North by lightning, it is said, but they were exâ€" tinguished through the good work of the fire rangers without any serious harm being done or any material loss being ‘sustained. The fire referred to near Latchford, in the Trethewey township area, was the most serious of the bush fires last week, but the attenâ€" tion given it and the measures used to bring it under control were adequate for the occasion. FIRE RANGERS HAD FLGHT WITH FOREST FIRE NEAR LATCHFORD Exchange to be Paid on Marginal Deals Her wide circles of friends in town and district will be pleased to know that Mrs. F. Reed, 12 Sixth avenue, who some days ago underwent a serious operation at St. Mary‘s hospital, is making excellent progress to complete recovery of health. margin pcyments are made, if the stock is bought in the United States market. The claim of the defence was "‘The plaintiff Amos said the conâ€" mon practice is to debit or credit the premium on New York funds to. the customer if the stock is bought there, and the usual custom had been followâ€" ed in this instance. He told Mr. Tuer the stock could have been delivered when the final payment was made, while Webster, outlining the method of handling this business, said the stock would be subject to a lien until the money was pald in full. G. F. Black, Timmins manager ¢f the Amos firm, told the court that, on a call Yor marâ€" gin in New York funds, the premium would have to be pald." A judgment of more than usual inâ€" terest was handed down last week at Halleybury. It was to the effect that on the sale of stock by margin exâ€" change rates must be pa:id from time ta time as thé@ may appear when brokerage house buys the stock outâ€" right and holds it for the client on the deferred payment plan. Under such method the only exchange to be dealt with would be that at the time of the original purchase. On the cther hand the brokerage house apparently conâ€" sidered that the payments should each carry exchange. This would mean decided difference to the purchaser in cases like the one dealt with by the court. In this case the exchange rate was negligible at the time of the orliâ€" ginal purchase, but later ran into subâ€" stantial figures The judge gave his decision in favour of the broker. It is understood that there will br an appeal to m higher court from the judge‘s decision. The result of such an appeal will mean much to marginal traders who buy New York and other United States stocks. "Price of the shares was $19.87 1â€"2, the court was told, and Young deâ€" posited $4,000 against the total amount involved of $10,062.50.. Exchange in New York then was quoted at 25â€"32 of a cent against Canada, but on two payments made by Young to protect his stock the dollar had dropped to an extent that the diffreence between Canadian and New York funds was $265.68 and $207.67, respectively. . Made an Error "The smaller amount, W. E. Webster, assistant accountant for the O‘Hearn company, said, represented a mistake made in crediting Young with full value for the money, instead of only its equivalent in New York {[funds. Defendant himself admitted to C. E. Tuer, appearing for plaintiff, that he knew the stock had to be purchased in New York. A despatch from Haileybury this week in regard to the particular case before the courts in this regard said:â€" ‘"Margin transactions on the New York Stock Exchange; for Canadian customers, are subject to the fluctuaâ€" tions of the Canadian dollar as payâ€" ments are made, according to a decision rendered in District Court at Halleyâ€" bury on Saturday by Judge Hartman, in an action brought by a Cobalt brokâ€" er against a Porcupine mine official. A. A. Amos, member of the former firm which bore his name, was the plainâ€" tiff, and he sued successfully Arthur W. Young, Hollinger mine superintenâ€" dent, for $473.35, the money representâ€" ing the premium on American funds on two payments made by Young on copâ€" per stock he had purchased through the brokerage firm. Purchases Shares "The evidence disclosed that defendâ€" ent bought 500 shares of Anaconda on margin in September, 1931, putting up approximately 40 per cent. of the cost. At that time, the Canadian dollar was just under par, but subsequently it deâ€" preciated in New York, and two later payments made by Young were claimed to ‘be liable to the larger exchange. The purchase was made through the Timmins ofllice of the then firm of A. A. Amos and Partners, who passed it on to its agents in Toronto, F. O‘Hearn and Co., who‘in turn relayed it to its New York correspondent, E. F, Hutton and CoO. The shares were bJught. on or about September 14 of that year, and W. O. Langdon, Timmins lawyer, appearing for Young, argued that, as the brokers had to put up the entire 100 per cent. of the funds required to get the stock, the deal was completed at that time. Last Thursday evening and Friday the is that when
