Six innings had nof a single error scored against either side, so it may ‘be considered as good baseball all right.

But Thaâ€" eker didn‘t have anything on Lefty Farr pitching for Timmins. Lefty played a whale of a game as the score shows. He pitched a brand of Aball that had the Cochrane boys gaping and that kept the home €rowd cheerâ€" ing him most of tie game. Some great catehes by the Cochrane hboys featured the szame, while Bill Pieree also got a couple of unusual ones by his clever work. [MeLean‘s threeâ€"base hit was another special of the game, Mr. Smith of Iroquois Falls made a capâ€" able and impartial umpire, while Mr. €Coster, Timmins, was the same on bases.

They were a most delightful combination of enâ€" tertainment, education and inspiraâ€" tion. It is largely a matter of opinion or faste as to which was the ‘‘best"‘ item or programme, but there seems to be very general agreensent that all were "‘very good." When it is reâ€" membered that the season‘s tickets brought the price of each â€"programme down to 27% cents (including war tax) the Chautanqua may well be set down as not only the very ‘best but the cheapest form of entertainment ever offered to the people of the North Land and the pleople naturally should be grateful to the local L.O.D. E. who made the opportunity for all in this town and district. Anyone who would kick on the 1921 Timmins Chautauqua will pick flaws in the péarly gates, if they get that far. ‘f‘ The Chautaugqua opened there with an afternon concert by the Chester Scott Company, a delightful and highâ€" class event. Mr. Sceott is a wonderful cornet player, and with the fine talent of Mrs. Sceott as a pianist and ‘banjoâ€" ist, a fine programme was given. There were rare but very pleasing combinations of instruments, includâ€" ing saxophone, trombone, cornet, banâ€" jos, violin and guitar. In the evenâ€" ing, the Chester Seott Company again delighted all with their attractive music, and then jthere was the outâ€" standing lecturefof Dr. J. Franklin Babb( of Bosth. ‘Many look wpon this lecture as fhe finest item on the programme. assuredly was good, full of humgr, eloquence, interest, philosophy arfid truth. He spoke on the ‘‘Hundred per cent. Man," and he had his audience enthusiastically with him from start to close. Prince (a regular King of Concert Accordionists) iwas the popular muâ€" sical feature of the second afternoon and evening. In the afternoon Lieut. W, J. Osborneâ€"Dempster, the gallant Canadian who has travelled 22,000 miles through Bolsheviki Russia, leeâ€" tured on ‘‘Red Russia with the Lid Off.*‘~ In forceful and eloquent manâ€" ner he pictured Russia as it is toâ€"day, as he himself knew it with its disordâ€" ers, its immoralities, its hunger and its pain and sin. He seored the Bolâ€" sheviki, the L W.W. and all that sort. In the evening wonderful magic was given by Davis, the Master Magician, who made the evening fly along with his mirth, mysterv and magic. He did some wonderful stunts, and his rum ning fire of talk with ‘"Clark"‘ who he selected as an assistant was a neverâ€"failing source of laughter. Delightful vocal and instrumental music by the John Qualen Trio and Henry Reed featured the third day. Saturday evening the comedy, ‘‘Conâ€" tentment,"‘ a very pleasing feature, was given with outstanding talent by the Elias Day Play Company. The lecture was **The Power of Song," by D. Lee Fitzpatrick, attractive, inâ€" spiring delightful. **This was the best of the lectures‘‘ is the opinion of many.. Anyway, it was a.remarkâ€" ably pleasing feature. The last day (Monday) kept up the high staifiardâ€"of previous days, and the announcement that the Daughters of the Empire were considering signâ€" in@ a seontract for the Chautauqua of the bmpire were considering signâ€" ing a seontract for the Chautauqua next year brought very enthnsiastic applause.. Ferguson‘s Light: Opera Quintette furnished the music. â€"It was all good, featuring songs and medleys of very attractive kind. The lecture, ‘*With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia,‘" was a very interesting and educative feature. The eloquent address of Dr. Frederic Poole, the gifted Oriental traveller, gâ€"The fourâ€"day Chautanqua in Timâ€" mins, Anug. 18th, to 22nd. proved an unqualified success, and all concernâ€" ed, and especially the Daughters of the Empire who brought the event here, are to be very sincerely congraâ€" tulated and commended. â€" The event entailed an immense amount of work uwpon the ladies of the Daughters of the Empire, but they have at least the satisfaction of knowing that they proâ€" vided the town and district with a series of unrivalled entertainments that were very generally appreciated. The weather lessened the attendance at a conple of the sessions, but people who knew the quality of the proâ€" grammes would not be kept away even by the rain. ‘The concerts genâ€" erally were well attended and for the evening events the big tent on the public sehool grounds was specially crowded. * he lectures" is tie opimon Anyway, it was a.remarkâ€" sing feature. 5 + TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24th., 1921. ASSOCIATED BOARDS OF % TRADE TO MEET SOON BAI?’ST SERVICES NOW i IN MONETA NEW SCHOOL «The gospel meetings formerly conâ€" ducted in the big tent on Balsam street are now being held in the fine new school at Moneta, a large room in that excellent building being secured for the purpose, and the Baptist Home Mission Board supplying the necessary chairs for equipment. Rev. J. Proudfoot, returned soldier from Sudbury, is conducting the services this week, the concluding meeting of the mission to ‘be on Sunday evening next. After that it is probable that the Baptist echurch may be reâ€"opened here. Word received this week from the Superintendent of Baptist Home Missions is to the effect that <the Board is considering the placing of a permament pastor at Timmins. A special feature at the services in the Moneta sehool last Sunday was the singing of the male quartette. This quartette will also give of their talent at the services this coming Sunday evening. _aâ€" The next meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade is scheduled for Haiâ€" leybury and the date will be announcâ€" ed in the course of the next day or two. The last regular meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade was deâ€" ferred owing to the hot weather months, the absence of so many interâ€" ested and other causes. It was thought that it was better to defer the meetâ€" ing and have a bumper assembly at the next meeting instead. This idea is being carried along and it is hoped to have a big meeting with special inâ€" terest and.â€"elpfulness when the Asâ€" sociated Boards meet at Haileybury in the near fuure. (One of the reasons for deferring the previous meeting was that the lucul)mards had forward ed no special resolutions or subjects for discussion or consideration. At the meeting in Haileybury, however, it is expected that there will be a number of live questions up for disâ€" cussion and consideration. \Among them. will likely be the question of Roads â€" and ‘Pire Protection,â€"ever timely in this North Land, and ever needing consideration and attention. It may also be that the question of a bridge over the Narrows near Ville Marie will be dealt with. This bridge would connect up Haileybury and the adjacent country with a large and prosperous part of Quebec iProvince to the general advantage of all. Other questions of equal importance will alâ€" so no doubt be before the meeting and in general it is expected that this session of the Associated Boards of Tr}de will be one of the most imporâ€" tant yet held. The date for this meetâ€" ing at, Haileybury will be announced ni,r!;é}mmrsv of the next day of two. { Mr. D. H. Crighton will arrive this week to join the Hamilton B.

Amny who can meip OV the loan of their autos for the good purpose suggested should let Mr. D. Ostrosser, chairman of the Board of Trade, know of their willingness to thus assist.. Last year a large numâ€" ber of good citizens kindly assisted in this way and it is hoped that the same kindness will be shown again this vear. ie board of lrade is anxious to bave as many autos as possible supâ€" plied to take around the important party visiting here toâ€"morrow mornâ€" ing. This important party is the group of 200 school teachers now tour ing the North Land. The impressions they gather will have a material effect in influencing ideas and opinions throughout the southern part of the Province. It is desired to show them as much as possible of the town and district on their visit here (tomorrow) Thursday morning and accordingly all who ean loan their autos forva few hours will be helping along things much by this accommodation. The autos will not be required until 9,30 sharp and then only for a couple of hours or so.

This it AUTOG WANTED FOR THE SCHODL TEACHERS VISHT Prade / Cobalt‘s tax rate this year is 59% mills for public school supporters and 69 mills for separatée school supportâ€" ers. This is 27 mills higher than last year. The rate for geperal purposes is almost as much as Timmins whole rate, for schools and all. Cobalt‘s gweneral rate is 43 mills, the school rate for public schools being 16!/ and for separate schools 264 mills. Part of the reason for Cobalt‘s high rate, in fact the chief reason, is the differâ€" ence this year from last in the matter of returns from the mines. Most of Cobalt‘s silver mines have been closâ€" ed down or partly closed down on account of the price of silver. Last year the mines contributed $69,000.00 to ‘the Cobalt exchequer. â€" This year the amount is estimated at only $36,000. vz TAXES LOW IN TIMMINS 1 7 COMPARED TO COBALT, EH? With Saturday‘s game out of the way the series will centre down to the oldâ€"time battle between Timmins and Irouois Falls, Timmins has won 4 games and lost 1, with three to play. Iroquois Falls ‘has won 3, lost 1, and four to play. If Cochrane wins from either the Palls or Timmins, it will have a material effect on the chances, while if Cochrane loses to both then it will be the old rivals to fight it out. Cochrane, ‘however, by wins at this stage might turn the balance in faâ€" vour of one or the other of the opposâ€" ing teams. And Cochrane very deâ€" eidg%ly is a good enough team to be carefully reckoned as still a possible live factor. TIMMINS TO PLAY AT COCHRANE ON SATURDAY According to the revised schedule of the District Baseball League Timâ€" mins goes to Cochrane for a game on Saturday of this week. In view of the fine bal put up by Cochrane, Saturâ€" day‘s game will be well worth seeing. Cochrane no doubt feels it came close last week to putting one over on Timâ€" ming and so will make an extra effort in Saturdav‘s game. Iroquois Falls and Cochrane have two postponed games to play, and then the schedule resolves itself into Iroquois Falls at Timmins and Timâ€" mins at Iroquois Falls, These two latter games will> undoubtedly be bhummers. Fine Collection of Odd and Valuable Ore Specimens Taken by Bold Bad Thieves. WINDOW SMASHED AND ORF COLLECTION STOIFN reeca s Councillor L. 8. Newton reported: on the matter of Mr. W. Gagne‘s planing mill in town. He had impressâ€" ed on ‘Mr. Gagne the absolute necessâ€" ity of keeping the place clean and as free as possible from inflammable maâ€" terial. Mr. Gagne had agreed to make frequent removal of all shavings, etce., and to do all possible to guard against any danger. Councillor Newâ€" ton thought it would be a hardship to refuse Mr. Gagne permission to carry on the business, though it must be adâ€" mitted as more or less of a danger. The Mayor suggested that Mr. Gagne be given permission to run for the present but that he find another locaâ€" tion less objectionable from _ the town‘s standpoint. ‘There was no deâ€" sire to work hardship on anyone, but }the town‘s interest must be guarded. Such places in the centre of the town would have a tendency to keep up inâ€" ? surance rates, as well as being an acâ€" ‘ tual danger to adjoining places. Evenâ€" tually on motion of Councillors Newâ€" ‘ton and Sullivan, Mr. Gagne was givâ€" en permission to carry on his business with fthe proviso that within three hmnths he must secure a more suitâ€" ablesite. l On motion of Councillors King and Morin permission was given for the building of chimneys on brackets, inâ€" stead of from the ground up as requir ed by the byâ€"law. On motion of Councillors King and Morin authority was given for the apâ€" pointment of Mr. J. D. Maclean as an assistant inspector to assist the Town Engineer in the present large pressure of work in connection with the disâ€" posal plant, roads, sidewalks, etc., etc. The Mayor referred to the sharp turns in the road to the MeIntyre. The Hollinger had done the work of building the road and they had generâ€" ally made a good job of it, but there were two dangerous turns that might cause accidents for which the Town might be muleted if no préventative measures were taken. Councillor King pointed out that when the telephone poles were removed as ordered by the motion of Councillors King and Newâ€" ton the Hollinger Consolidated qs to be notified that until the approval of the Town Engineer is secured for the work on the road the Town disallows liability for this piece of road. the houses so that as soon as the disâ€" posal plant is ready the final conneeâ€" tions can be made. Under ordinary cireumstances the Provineial Board would forbid any work on connections until the disposal plant was completâ€" ed. This would mean that practically no one would be able to get sewer conâ€" nection this year. The Council‘s plan is to have the econnections all ready, all but the final joining up for use, the latter to be held up until the disâ€" posal plant is ready. Theâ€"byâ€"law proâ€" vides that ‘householders can only seâ€" cure permission to go on with the work of making connections by signâ€" ing an agreement that they will conâ€" form to the rules and regulations laid down in the byâ€"law, the most importâ€" ant of which regulations is that no atâ€" tempt at final connections must be atâ€" tempted until after the disposal plant is built and the work approved by the authorities. The Town further agrees to prosecute any cases where attempt V The tender for fixing Cedar street was accepted, the gravel to come from Dalton‘s pit. The Mayor referred to the proposed arrangement with the Fesserton Comâ€" pany. The Company had agreed to give $3000 in cash and take $5000 in bonds for an option on the property desired. He suggested that the matâ€" ter should be speedeQ& along, as ‘the Fessertons were anxious to have it settled. The matter will be dealt with The regular meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday afterâ€" noon with the Mayor in the chair and Councillors J. E. Sullivan, L. 8. Newâ€" ton, T.F. King and J. E. Morin preâ€" sent. One of the chief items of business was the passing of the byâ€"law regardâ€" ing sewer connections. To permit the work to be done this year, arrangeâ€" ments are to be made with the Proâ€" vincial Board of Health )’or permisâ€" sion for connections to be made into Measure Provides That No Final Conâ€" nection Can be Made Until Disposal Plant Complete.

The byâ€"law ed readings and ns full rules and Â¥HW aroused a much keener interest in this type of athleties and sports. According to the programmes puâ€" blished, this week by the TIroquois Falls people, the followfng are the events for the **Northern Ontario Treik Meet" which is scheduled for 2.30 p.m. on Labour Day at the Falls: one mile, halfâ€"mile, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, broad jump, high jump hopâ€"stepâ€"andâ€"jump, shot put, 16 Ibs. Also Tugâ€"ofâ€"Wa#g open to all. In addition the programme provides for:â€"Children‘s sports, at 9 a.m.; Tennis â€" Touranmient, singles _ and doubles, Cochrane, Timmins, Kirkâ€" land Lake and Iroquois Falls, prize valued at $75.00; Huge Labour Parâ€" ade, over 1000 men in the line, as well as floats, at 10 a.m.; Baseball, Kirkâ€" land Lake vs, Cochrane, at 1 p.m.; Léeague Baseball, Timmins vs. Cochâ€" rane, at 3.30 p.m.; Annual Ball of the Pulp and Sulphite Union, at 9 p.m. gineer,. ‘The need for extra land at The dumping ground mwas again referred to. Four more acres could be securâ€" ed at $100.00 per acre. It was also sugzested that a fence ‘be vlaced sugzested Iuat a lence ‘be placed round the dump to prevent promiseuâ€" ous dumping. Asbestos shingles were authorized for use on buildings of frame already constructed, with the approval of the Town Engineer. * Messrs Laflamme and English askâ€" ed the Council to construct a sidewalk on Spruce street. Council‘s reply was to the effect that this would be done as soon as possible but of courss the most important <works had to come first. Arrangements ‘have ‘heen made to provide visitors from other towns with good meals at low prices..Everyâ€" thing is being done to assure everyâ€" body a pleasant day at the Falls Laâ€" bour Day. Timmins Band has been engaged to supply music for the occaâ€" sion in addition to the Iroquois Falls Band which will of course be on the job all day. It is likely that a big crowd=will go over to the Falls from Timmins and district on Labour Day. Usually it is bad Jbooze that gets people into the worst of trouble, but occeasionally a man is landed in wrong through perfectly good liquor. It seems to be so in the case of Frank Calodoni, of Moneta, arrested early Monday morning by Constable Rayâ€" croft. ‘The Constable says that Calaâ€" doni was making for the bush with & nice case of gin when he caught him. Further it is claimed that the case was taken from the home of Mr. A. E. (Centile, the latter ‘being at preâ€" sent in Toronto owing to the illness of his wife there. Further it is alleged that Calodoni was seen entering the premises of (Mr. Gentile unlawfully. So, as a consequencee of the whole affair Calodoni may be called upon to face a number of charges, including theft and breach of the O.T.A. He wlil be up before Magistrate Atkinson tomorrow. 2 by the works GIN GETS THIS LAD INTO ~â€"â€" CA BIG HEAP OF TROUBLE Teams from Several Towns to Comâ€" pete for Cup.
