In the Matheson area the work really started last week and a good crop is reported on the plains near Matheson where so many berries have been picked in previous years.

There was a series of motor car acciâ€" dents Saturday and Sunday, some of them with rather serious results.

This broadening Icf the band has resulted in the interâ€" esting of a large number of returned men. It is now expected that there will be probably a total of forty in the band, all of them skilled musicians. They intend to all gather at North Bay for a general practice on Saturday, August 3rd. There will no doubt be a lot of fun at this practice as it will be the first time the bandsmen have ever ~playedâ€"together, but as they are all tal« ented bandsmen they will soon be whipâ€" ped into shape and the band for the opening days of the North Bay Old Home Week will not only be a large one but it will also be a very capable one. The work of tuning the instruments and adjusting them to the one pitch may take some time and trouble but will be considered as well worth whils when this picked group of bandsmen get together and show what they can do,. F. J. Wolno, bandmaster of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band, and other members of the Timmins band, will be among the players in the augmented 159th Batt. band to gather at North Bay next week. The idea of this North Land soldiers‘ band was brought forâ€" ward by F. A. Saunders, of North Bay, and the working out of the plan has been left in his hands. With his band of 40 skilled musicians, all with blue and white berets, and likely dressed in blue trousers and white shirts, he exâ€" pects to make a brave showing on the opening days of the Old Home Week.

This woman may also face a more serious charge as a There are some liquor cases for court on Tuesday of this week. Following a raid made by the provincial police, asâ€" sisted by the Dominion police and town police, there are charges against the inn at Cook‘s Lake near Timmins. After the raid Mrs. Harry Carry was arrested on a charge of selling liquor. Later she was released on $1,000 properâ€" ty bail. S.

Publisbed at Timmins, Ont., Canada, EKvery MONDAY and THURSDAY A man who_ was going along. Wilson avenue at the rate of 50 miles per hour will be called upon toâ€"morrow to anâ€" swer to a charge of reckless driving. There is a solitary speeder charged in toâ€"morrow‘s court, the ordinary speedâ€" ing so prevalent in town until recentâ€" ly having been largely eliminated through police activity. One man is charged with driving a car with no other authority than a ficâ€" titious permit. The permit he was carrying was made out in another name than his own, yet so far as the police could learn the driver had the permit inscribed in this way. He will have opportunity to explain the matter to the magistrate toâ€"msrrow. on the Hollinger road and thus is alleged to have been responsible for an accident that occurred. There are thirteen charged with runâ€" ning cars at night without a tail light, and four others charged with having only one headlight and no tail light. Repeated warnings have been given by the police in regard to the danger enâ€" tailed by single headlights and lack of tail lights. The number of offenders in these classes does not seem to be diminishing. Some who have had their attention called to the lack of proper lights would be pclite enough in the matter but apparently did not take the warning seriously, so the police came to the conclusion that the only way to protect the public in this regard would be to have a number of court cases to impress the fact that in this respect as well as in other matters in reference to the enforcement of the highway laws and regulations the police intend to strictly enforce the law for the safety of the public. Traffic cases and other charges laid with a view to further guarding public safety in the matter of motor traffic will feature police court here toâ€"morâ€" row. ‘There are two particularly seriâ€" ous charges, both arising from motor car accidents. E. Prevost is charged with reckless driving following the inâ€" Jury of a lady walking on the sidewalk on Elm street Saturday night, as noted elsewhere in this issue.

Not only would it increase the good effect of the music to those in the immediate vicinity but it would also make it possible for the concert to be heard in all parts of the town without interference with the good tone of the music. At Cochrane on July ist the music furnished by the Timmins Citiâ€" zens‘ Band was easily heard in disâ€" tant parts of that town, thanks to the efficiency of the sounding board which is one of the features of the new Cochâ€" rane bandstand These open air concerts have proven popular this year as in past years and are much appreciated by the public in general. The selections given by the band inâ€" cluded the following:â€" "O, Canada.‘"‘ ‘"March Militaire." Selection, "Melodious Melodies." Waltz medley, "The Gay Nineties." Selection from "The Maid of the Mountains." March, "On the Road." Selection, "Laurentian Echoes.‘" "God Save the King." Weather permitting, the band will give another open air concert at the band stand on Thursday evening of this week. Now There was a large attendance last night at the band concert held at the band stand in the park on Spruce street and a feature of the evening was the large amount of applause given the various numbers played by the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band. The band unâ€" der the leadership of Bandmaster F. J. Wolno, played with even more than its usual effectiveness and the audience was enthusiastic in approval.

Three men charged in the last few days with vagrancy will not have the charged pressed against them.
