" Associated The Timmins Citizens‘ Band has ofâ€" fered its services for the big Temiskaâ€" ming and Cochrane Boy Scouts jamâ€" boree here on Friday and Saturday of this week, it was announced last week. The local association is holding another mesting toâ€"night to make final arâ€" rangements for the big event. Tickets are now on sale for the proâ€" gramme in the Timmins skating rink on Saturday, and it is expected that a large number will be sold. The original cost of the survey, acâ€" cording to the letter received from Mr. Franklin in July, was to be $250. The total cost, since he has been retained for a few days more, will be slightly over that figure. When the new system is installed, it is hoped that the town will be comâ€" pletely safeguarded from any sort of repetition of the situation now awaitâ€" ing trial where $17,000 is alleged to have been lost to the town through false entries.

If a poll tax shown for any other i man has lived this More than 200 single men in Timmins had been notified, up to Saturday morning, that they were liable for poll tax of $10, payable within 30 days. The effort on the part of police and the council will bring in an additional $2,000 to the town‘s weasury, it is exâ€" pected, since a much closer check is being made on single men who ars on regular salary at various places in town than during the last few years. Most of the men in the mines‘ have already paid. The wages of those who do not pay within 30 qays will be garnisheed. Dog tax, too, is proving a good source of revenue this year. Returns to Satâ€" urday showed $1,172 collected. Altogether, with the placing in the bailiffs‘ hands of a large number of overdue tax accounts and the action of police in collecting poll tax and dog tax, Timmins treasury should hold more than the council calculated at the beâ€" ginning of the vear.

Police say that when they arrived work was in progress in reducing gold ore to powder for panning. The equipment for the purpose was seized by the police and is held as evidence. There was about $100 worth of gold ore in possession. Another item of special interest in connection with the Horticultural Soâ€" ciety Show next Monday and Tuesday and the garden competition in conâ€" nection with the show is that the judge this year will be F. Haywood, Toronto. Mr. Haywood is in charge of the Dufâ€" ferin Parks in Toronto, and is a judge of the fullest competency as well as being widely known for his fairness. In addition to acting as judge at the Horâ€" ticultural Show here next week, he will also be the judge in the garden comâ€" petition. He will judge the lawns and gardens on Saturday. Mr. Haywood will reach here on Friday afternoon‘s train. Sale of Flowers and Vegetables at Show The general public will be specially interested in the announcement made by the Timmins Horticultural Society that the exhibits of flowers and vegeâ€" tables left at the show here on Monday and Tuesday, September 2nd and 3rd, will be auctioned off on Tuesday eveâ€" ning. This has been done before but as it was not announced previously the general public did not get the full beneâ€" fit. Last year many who would have wished to secure some of the flowers and vegetables that were left for sale did not have a chance to make purâ€" chases, not knowing the exhibits would be thus available. Many will find it worth while waiting on Tuesday night for the auction sale of flowers and vegetables. Exhibits Left to be Auctionâ€" ed Tuesday Evenit g. Police Arrest Phil Boulanger and Jos.
