meheéon ten years ub at the Empire m violin playing of Master 8 rdon. This boy played selecâ€" tions on the â€" vio!ln that roused the keenést enthusiasm of the club memâ€" bers and he was very heartily encored on merit. Classical music was played by this lad with rare talent and skill. He handled the bow with a deftnes: and sureness of touch that would be remarkablé in anyone twice his age. His tone was equally good, while he also put a feeling and expression into his playinz that was remarkable in lad of his years. There was a general feeling that this lad had the gifts that promise a very clever violinst. Master Gordon was the second young boy to delight the Kiwanis in a short period of time by his talent. The previous week Master Fred Stonehouse had made an equally deep impression for outstanding talent by his recitations given with such cleverness, sympathy and talent. Dr. Honey explained that ne had heard these talented boys at a concert in the Central public school, and had felt sure the Kiwanis would enjoy them. He said that there had been cther notable tailent at the school concert, and asked the club if they would like to hear others of the young artists. "If they are in the same class as David Gordon or Fred Stonehouse, we would be delighted," seemed to be the general opinion. About fifty prospectors and claim owners gathered in the town hall ten years ago, November 30th, 1929, and decided to form an organization to stimulate interest in prospecting and to coâ€"operate with the Gevernment in such matters, bringing to the attention of the authorities the viewpoints of the prospectors and claim owners in regard to the development of the minâ€" ing areas of the North Land. Dr. J. A. MciIinnis was elected temporary chairman and with despatch and efâ€" ficiency officiated during the election of officers for the new association which: it was decided to organizeâ€"the Nerthern Prospectors and Claim Ownâ€" ers‘; tion, Porcupine Branch, The officers elected were as follows: presiâ€" dent, R'alph Dipaolo; viceâ€"president, F.

It was only too true. At mileage 30%, just west of the overhead platform, it is said the engineer noticed something drag out into the snow. There was clear view and no one had been seen on the track but on stopping the train it proved to be a man very badly injured about the head. He was put on board aiid brought in to South Porcupine station and a doctor called but by the time the doctor arrived life was extinct and the cienéw“md despatch and all agreed that‘ fi w'as a particularly enjoyable event.: ; man had never recovered consciousness.

All present were deâ€" lighted with the programme as preâ€" sented, every item being most pleasing. Perhaps the outstanding number on the programme was the warâ€"time. sketch presented by seven members of the Golden Beaver Lodge. This clever sketch gave a most realistic picture of life at the front, depicting the terrible strian on officers and men and the way that different types reacted. The "fedâ€" â€" up" feeling that inevitably came after month after month of irritating and irksome duty, often working in the dark and without apparent purpose, Or with results that seemed sadly out of proportion to the desperate effort and the fearsome 1oss of life, were presented in most realistic way. Every actor in the cast took his part about perfectly, extra special mention being deserved by Messrs. Dougall, Richards, Ralph . "and Wright for notable delineation of the characters taken. t There was a large attendance at the concert given ten years ago in the Masâ€" onic hall under the joint auspices of the Golden Beaver Lodge, A.F.

Dearden. ~â€"~ Despatches ten years ago from Coâ€" balt told of another touching example of the faithfulness of a man‘s dog. Men coming to Cobalt at the time from Gowganda brought news of the sad fate that overtook Jim Fietcher, an oldâ€" timer of the Northern mining camps. He died in his little cabin at the Haulâ€" tain mine, some 13 hours after Harold Parker, trapper, had discovered his unâ€" conscious form, racked by pneumonia, stretched on the bed. The only heat that kept going the fitful spark of life was that generated by his faithful dog, which was lying across the one blanket which covered the stricken frame. Parker gave temporary relief to the 57â€"yearâ€"old veteran of the Cobalt and Gowganda boom days, and hastened to the nearest telephone to summon Dr. G. R. Crann, at Gowganada, eight miles away. The doctor responded imâ€" mediately, accompanied by Dr. Daniel Hellens, of the Castle Tretheway Mine, formerly of the North Cobalt.

One of these was that Mr. Staples, who was elecied mayor for the coming term with a sweeping majority, polled the largest vote‘ ever given a candidate in the history of the town of Iroquois Falls. Another point of interest was the fact that all the present members of council offering themselves for reâ€" election were returned to office by good majorities. Mr. I. Foy headed the poll for councillors, having a very handsome vots to his credit. Still another item of more than local interest was the defeat of the Daylight Saving byâ€"law. The plan was defeated by 17 votes, and so in 1940 the town of Iroquois Falls will not be on Daylizht Saving time. Iroquois Falls was one of the of Daylizht Saving, time in the North, being the first town to ,adopt the measure in this part of the North after the warâ€"time law in this regard was repealed.
