. Kirkland Scouts Won Trophy at Jamboree Judging of the lawns and gardens was done on Saturday by F‘. Haywood, expert in charge of the Dufferin Parks at Toronto, who was here as the ofâ€" ficial judge of the Horticultural show. Mr. Haywoog had a busy time and was much impressed with the number and quality of Timmins lawns and gardens which he found equal to the best in the South. To find so many good lawns and gardens her> was a revelation to him and he thought the town and peoâ€" ple and esnecially the Horticultural Soâ€" clety were to be congratulated on the excellent showing. He thought, howâ€" ever, that there could easily be a much larger number of entries in the conâ€" test as there were so many good lawns and gardens in town. ‘The following are the winners in the The annual garden competition in connection with the eleventh annual Timmins Horticultural Seciety show this year attracted much interest and resulted in a comparatively large numâ€" ber of lawns and gardens entering the competition. This year the lawns and gardens were specially worthy of note, the number of good lawns and gardens in town growing in very pleasing way. It took the Kirkland Lake troop just four minutes ang 25 seconds to throw a strong bridge across an imaginary stream eight feet in width. Made enâ€" tirely of materials that would be at hand anywhere in the bush, the bridge supported the eight members of the building team quite safely. The Kapusâ€" kasing ~bridge, built somewhat more Winners in the Garden _Competition This Year The crossâ€"cut sawing contest proâ€" duced good competition, but in the end the Kirkland Scouts had the edge, with Kapuskasing second and Iroâ€" quais: Falls third. Tent pitching was first on the pryoâ€" gramme. Kapuskasing Scouts made the best time in erecting a Northern style campâ€"with as few tent pegs as posâ€" sible. The shelter seemed to appear as if by magic. Iroquois Falls came second and Kirkland Lake third. In both the tent pitching and knot tying, new methods were used that reâ€" quired a considerable amount of exâ€" planation, thus delaying:the first couâ€" ple of numbers. Kirkland won the knot tying with a time of 1 minute and 20 seconds in a complex contest involving four knots, Iroquois Falls was second and Dome third. Send Message by I"la.gs Morse signalling by teams saw Kaâ€" puskasing take first place when they sent the following message nearly letâ€" terâ€"perfect: "Please rush plaster cast of print found at Mattawa. Similar track found here. Express collect." Flags were used in transmitting the message. Kirkland Lake was second. About Forty Entries in the Contest Under the Auspices of the Timmins Horticultural Society for Lawns and Garâ€" Arriving at the rink, where a good crowd turned out to see the display, the short ceremony of "breaking‘ the flag preceded an address of welcome by Mayor R. Richardson and the singing of "O Canada." The mayor in a few words saigq that on behalf of the people of Timmins, he bade the visitors welâ€" come and stated that he was glad such interest was being shown in the Bcouting organization. Boy Scouts and Wolf Cubs, 243 strong, paraded from Gillies Lake park through the main streets to the skatâ€" ing rink at 7.15§ Saturday evening as an opening for the evening events of the jamboree. It was a great day for all the troops representedâ€"Kirkland Lake, TIroquois Falils, Kapuskasing, Dome and Timâ€" mins. The.logal lads, most of them new to Scouting, learned more from the Jamboree and their brother Scouts than they could have in any other way in such a short time. They did not expect to place high in the final standing, but another year or so should see their work on a par with any of the others. The Boy SBcouts of the North had their big. day of the year here on Satâ€" urday and Kirkland Lake‘s represenâ€" tatives took away with them the Porâ€" cupine trophy, emblematic of the best Bcout work shown at the big jamboree. Thr@ trophyâ€"had been taken by Iroâ€" quols Falls at the Kirkland Lake jamâ€" boree last year. Nearly Two Hundred and Fifty Scouts and Cubs Enjoy Big Time Here on Friday and Saturday.

One of the specially beautiful gardens in this class was the flower garden and lawn at St. Mary‘s hospital. Wolf Cub Events Interesting The Wolf Cub events attracted much attention and were most interesting to those who knew little of the work beâ€" ing done by the Cubs. The Jungle Dances, one put on by each of the three <packs â€"represented, Kirkland Luke, South Porcupine and Iroquois Falls, were really pantomimes of Rudâ€" yard Kipling‘s tales in "The Jungle Book." The fervor and accuracy with which the boys portrayeq the Kipling characters was astonishing. The new Wolf Cub trophy for district competition, has not yet arrived, Geo. Drew announced, but will be sent to (Continued on Page Two) The judges‘ system cof giving points was slightly different to that «â€" nounced, all entrants being given points for the various parts of each contest, instead of allowing three for first, two for second and one for third. The results of both counts were the same however, so far as the standing of the teams at the finish was conâ€" cerned. Totals, as announced, were: Kirkland Lake 18, Kapuskasing 10, Iroquois Falls 9, Dome 6, Timmins 1. In the message relay for Cubs, Kirkâ€" land Lake boys got the message around first, "Akela has moved from Birch street to 77 Maple street and would likeâ€"all of the Red Six to come to his house with their models toâ€"morrow." The compass relay, a game in which eight points of the compass must be picked out by eight boys, went to South Porcupine. The block carrying race in which the entrants had to carry blocks balâ€" anced on their heads, produceq good deal of merriment, and went to Iroâ€" quols Falls. "Skinning the Snake," a game in which good balance is a necessity, was won by Iroquois Falls. Just one Scout succeeded in proâ€" ducing fire by friction, the difficult method formerly useqd by the Indians of the continent, in which a dry stick is rotated in a piece of try cedar until enough smouldering material is proâ€" duced to ignite a bit of tinder. Dome won the event. In the class"> firelighting, Kapuskasing came tirst, Iroquois Falls second and the Timmins boys made third. Building fires with only a few sticks of wood, a hatchet and two matches was the trick, and the fire had to burn a string 12 inches from the ground before it was counted proâ€" per fire. Treat Fractures Well First aid, with patients suffering from fractured skulls, arms, collar bones, thighs, and cuts in such difficult places as the palm of the hand, reâ€" ceived expert attention. Extraordinarily good work was done by the contestants in this particular feature of the proâ€" gramme. Kirkland did the best work, with Iroquois Falls second. quickly, was not quite so secure and some of the builders developed the happy facility of walking across the Eleven entries in the class.

A second attempt was made to "capture" anâ€" other train. This time four box cars were seized, but again the cars were cut from the engine and the trekkers again had their strategy for nothing. Eventually Inspector McVeigh, C.P. R. police officer, was able to influence the "marchers‘"‘ to some sort of law observance. He induced them to leave the city in small groups, the latter beâ€" ing allowed to travel on freights withâ€" out interference. 8 Trekkers Locked in Box Car at North Bay The trekkers returning from Ottawa after their abortive: "hunger march" to make demands on the Bennett govâ€" ernment got as far as North Bay durâ€" ing the weekâ€"end. On Saturday a group of 10 "marchers‘"‘ took possession Oof a box car and told the police they inâ€" tended to travel in this form of private car as far as Sudbury. The police exâ€" plaineg patiently to ..the _men. that groups of this size could not possibly be allowed to travel on one train as it meant the end of law and order as the train crew would not be numerous enough to exercise any restraint in case of necessity. Despite all pleadings the trekkers refused to leave the box car. "We are in possession; try and put us out," they told the police. The latter resorted to strategy. Instead of attempting the impossible task of oustâ€" ing the trespassers, the police simply locked them in the box car. The freight train was then shunteq around and beâ€" fore long the trekkers found the train had departed but they were left. After the train had departed for Sudbury the "marchers‘"‘ were given their freeâ€" dom, but warned that they could not "take over" any trains as they seemed to desire. Attempt of Group of Sevenâ€" ty to Take.Possession of Box Car Foiled by Police. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, PHURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH, 1985 NEW CABINET MEMBERS One of the promises understood to have been made by Hon. Peter Heenan last week was one to the effect that the dock at South Porcupine would be put into good condition. The dock has been sadly in need of repair for some time past, and it will be a popular move if it is repaired and put into condition. The withdrawal of the government grant for the public health nurse at Haileybury appeared ~for a time mean that the town would be, forced to forego this advantage and benefit. The nurse was paid through grants from the government, the town and the 1L.O.D.E. The I.O.D.E. felt it could not increase its grant of $400 per year at present, and certainly ‘not to the extent of making up the amount that was dropped by the government. On the other hand the town felt that it could not maintain the work in case the government did not help. The Haileybury Rotary Club has given lead in the matter of effort to retain the valuable services of the public health nurse. The Rotary offers to pay $50 if the I.O.D.E. will increase its grant by that amount and the town do the same, Councililor Poppleton has another suggestion. He suggests that the town would give $100 now, if the ILO.DE. and Rotary Club would each give $100. This $300 would pay for the nurse to the end of the year. Just what will be the outcome is not known at present, but in any case it is eviâ€" dent that Haileybury is not going to drop the public health nurse without making earnest effort to be able to finance the service which has proved so valuable to the town and people. Mr. and Mrs. 8. T. Walker returned this week from a three weeks‘ vacation in Toronto and Seaforth. Dock at South End to be Put into Good Condition Haileybury Makes Effort to Retain Public Nurse Porcupine Gold Reef May Give up Charter some particulars in the matter are given in a letter sent to shareholders of the company of a special general meeting to be held at the King Edward hotel, Toronto, Sepâ€" tember 5, at 3.30 p.m., for the purpose of considering bylaws to dispose of the company‘s property and to authorize the directors to apply for the surrender of the charter. According to the letter, signed by J. Ross Curry, secretary, the company has had an offer which has been acâ€" cepted by the directors, and which now requires ‘the approval of the shareâ€" holders, from Thomas Marston, Toâ€" ronto, to purchase the company‘s millâ€" ing property for $2,000 in cash and 450,000 shares cf stotk in a company to be formed. This will represent three new shares for every 20 now held and the $2,000 cash will pay the company‘s indebtedness, it is stated. One paragraph in the letter from Mr Curry says:â€""For many years now the officers of this company have mainâ€" tained it in gosd standing in the hop: that some day they might be: able to dispose of the property advantagsousâ€" ly," the letter continues. "They were not able to raise capital because the company‘s entire capital stock Cf 3,â€" 000,000 shares is outstanding." Meeting Being Held Toâ€"day at Toronto to Dispose of Company‘s Property. â€" Porcupine Gold Reef Mining Comâ€" pany, Limited, owning 240 acres in Whitney township, is planning to surâ€" render its charter, but the property is expected to be developed ‘by a new company being formed for the purpose. The property has ‘been inactive for several years, but if the present plans materialize fully it is expected that the claims willâ€"be developed â€"and the property "put on the mining map." Try The Advance Want Advertisements Crown Attorney S. A. Caldbick agreed that suspended sentence would probably be the best thing. Phil Boulanger pleaded guilty in Tuesday‘s police court to having nearâ€" ly a hundred dollars worth of gold illegally in his possession®Though conâ€" victed, he was placed on bond for one year to keep the peacte. He was given to understand that he must not get into the "business" again, on pain of losing his liberty, "He‘s dying on his\ feet," said Dean Kester, attorney for the defence. "If ever there was a case for suspended sentence, this is it. He‘s come clean all the way through." Gounsel said that Boulanger was not only an advanced silicosis case but also suffered from tuberculosis. He is on full compensation ‘"and in order to draw full compensation, you‘ve just about got to have one foot in the grave or they won‘t give it to you. This man has certainly given the mining industry everything he had," said counsel. "I am quite satisfied that his conâ€" dition is as bad as Mr. Kester says it is," he said. , Found in Act of Grinding Ore The magistrate gave him to underâ€" stand <that it would be impossible to show the same mercy if the accused was caught dabbling in highâ€"grading again. Boulanger haq been found by Provincial Police officers in Ogden township in the act «cof pulverizing some.highâ€"grade ore on a crude outfit. He was being assisted ‘at the time by Joseph Desjardins, but the charge against Desjardins was dropped when Boulanger took the blame, claiming that Desjardins was merely helping been pulled over to the centre of the road hy the force, Cyr claimed he was travelling along the road on his own side and that the other car had come down the middle of the road so that a collision was unâ€" avcidable. Nearly eighty dollars‘ damâ€" age had been done. t Both Kari and_his wife, who had been injured in their car had § + 5B , said that right side Pigeon Lostâ€"Not Dusty Mrs. Labine was located by the conâ€" stable and she verified the informaâ€" tion that Dusty was in the bush. But she wasn‘t worried. She knew the whole story. Yes, the note had meant August® 8th and not July 8th. It had been "found in the bush, played out." What? The pigeon, not Dusty! The pigeon was far from home. It belonged in fact, in Baltimore, Ohio, and how or why it suddenly deserted its comfortable southern home for the northen woods is not yet known. At any rate, Dusty, who had been cutting wood west of â€"hers, came across the pigeon one day, and finding it in need Arvi Kari paid a fine of $50 and costs and had his driver‘s permit susâ€" pended for 60 days when he was conâ€" victed of reckless driving. There had been a collision on the back road to South Porcupine on Saturday night in which a car driven by A. Cyr had been badly damaged. Provincial police. headquarters were notified immediately that a man lay in the bush somewhere near Timmins, exhausted, perhaps starving to death; perhaps seriously injured. It was hoped that the sender meant August 8th, so orders were rushed to the local proâ€" vincial police detachment to investiâ€" gate. Constable‘ George White set out on the trail. "Dusty‘"‘ Labine, a wellâ€"known character of the district, had left for the bush some time previously. He might be just about 14 miles west of here. Placed Under Bond for _ Megally Having Gold him out with the heavier work. The arrests were made on August 22nd. $50 and Costs for Reckless Driving Karl pleaded not guilty to the charge through counsel, claiming that he had been practically stopped when the acâ€" cident occurred but both Cyr and his passengers said the other car was goâ€" ing about 25 or 30 miles an hour. Cyr got out after the crash and went over to the other car. Truth of the Note Found Attached to Leg of Pigeon at Worthington. Story Now on Provincial Police Fyles at Haileybury. When a note saying "Plaved out in the bush 14 miles west of Timmins, July 8, Dosithee Labine," was found attached to a homing pigeon‘s leg at Worthington, near Sudbury, a short time ago, it told a true story, but through prompt action a tragedy was averted. "I asked him what was the matter and he didn‘t answer," he said. Counsel Said Accused Too Ill to be Sent to Jail, Checking up Reckless Driving. False Registration at HotelQuesâ€" tioned. Other Cases at This Week‘s Court. "Lost" Stors; EXpl; ined by the Provincial Police "I think he was driving on the wrong side of e road, that‘s the whole trouble," said the magistrate in giving his judgment. Didn‘t Remember Taking Beer "IL was drinking that day knd I hardly remember taking it," said a young man charged with the theft of a case of beer from the brewers‘ wareâ€" house truck. "Well, did you take the beer?" asked Magistrate Atkinson. . "Well, I don‘t know," answered the accused. .The young man did as the magisâ€" trate advised and the case was disâ€" missed for lack of evidence. A girl had seen him put the case in a yard and a boy hadq seen him try to pick it up again, but no one had actually seen him lift it from the truck and no one appeared from the brewers‘ warehouse to say that a case of beer was missing. "Do you remember what you said to me last night?" "Bure, and I meant it," the comâ€" plainant, Dave Morrison, is alleged to have said. "And he hit him," said the witness. Dominic . Orlando, familiarly known as Kid Lando, and well known as a local professional boxer, admitted havâ€" ing hit Morrison on the nose and paid $20 and costs for the fun. Local Boxer in Assault Case One witness described an assault in a local beverage room by saying that the accused man had said to the comâ€" plainant: The argument had begun the eveâ€" ning before in the same beverage room when Morrison and some friends had refused to leave after the legal closing with keeping lHquor for sale, will be heard next week, although the crown‘s most important evidence was out on record this week. Robert Cunningâ€" ham, convicted last week of selling (Continued on Page ‘Two) of food and rest, had captured ihe tired bird, fed it, and sent it on its way to Baltimore with the note about being "played out" attached to its ly They Got Their Man The bird apparently did not recover entirely from the exposure to which it had been subjected. It covered the hundred miles from here to Worthingâ€" ton and collapsed against the window of a home there. Thus began the man hunt that fortunately did not involve the expense of hiring airplanes to aid in the search for an exhaustegd man. Dusty had told his wife all about the little experience with the pigeon and through her, the constable satisfied himself that the bushman was all right. "What are you going to do about my nose?" Previous Insult No Excuse â€" While the counsel for the defence was bringing out evidence as to what had gone on 12 hours previous to the assault, he was interrupted by the crown attorney and t.he magistrate, who both said that the previous eveâ€" ning should have nothing to do with the present offence. "My client is being pre-judged then," saliq counsel. "I don‘t want any remarks about your client being preâ€"judged. What took place 12 hours previous to the assault is no excuse for an assault the next day," said the magistrate. Morrison went to Orlando one day and is said to have asked: "I‘m not going to do anything," Orâ€" lando is allegeq to have said. "You can do what you like." A report on the case has been writâ€" ten and is on file at Provincial Police headquarters at Haileybury for all and sundry to see. Last thing seen of the pigeon was when it was winging its way to its Baltimore home after having received food and lodging from the kind Worâ€" thington family. So ended the mystery of the noteâ€" bearing pigeon that stirred so much pity on the part of those who read the sad story of a man lost somewhere in the North; and so much prompt and efficient action on the part of the Onâ€" tario Provincial Police. Constable White has just recently arrived in Timmins and is now perâ€" manent appointment to the detachâ€" ment. The pigeon brought him his first local case. The common assault charge was laid afterwards. "Keeping for Sale‘ Charge Laid ‘Over The case of Fred Therien, charged the
