B FRe â€" e 1 ;.‘ M aC > n, im.«.p’ain_t,&dly prove just what sort of a ~wonderful comuntry this is As the .. National Exhibition hbas an attendâ€" %fie running over the million mark ‘ and drawn from all over Canada and _ tae United States, with a sprinkling â€"â€" of visitors from other lands, the atâ€" â€" tendant publicity would be of the widâ€" %efit to this country and would ';flimmse to do the greatest possible @W in making the North Land, its _ resourees and possibilities, known to RSGOGCIATED BOAROS Of TRADE MEET THIS WFEEX Important and Interesting Sessions at Iroquois Falls on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 10 and 11. _ The annual meeting of the Temisâ€" kaming Associated Boards of Trade is gl;:e held at Iroquois Falls on Thursâ€" day and Friday of this week and so many important matters will be dealt with that all the various centres of the North Land should make a point of having full representation. Under the very able presidency of Mr, R. A. Mcelunis, general manager of the Abiâ€" tibi Power & Paper Co., of Iroquois Falls, the Associated Boards of Trade developed a leadership and usefulness that did much for the North Land during the past year, Whenever apâ€" proached by delegations and petitions for needed works or improvements in the North Land, the efféct of the reâ€" ply almost invariably given has been that one part of the North wants one %g, and another something else, Tersiaps something about the opposite. This gives the Government its excuse to grant nothing@ quite frequently. But Premier Drury has suggested that if there were some authoritative ‘body that would represent the whole Norih Land, then such a body would receive very egrnest consideration in all its requests. Or another way of putting it is that the various centres and seecâ€" tions of the North Land ask so much as to make a granting of all these reâ€" quests impractical and impossible, but if the general needs of the North were emphasized much could be done. Apart, altogether from ithe Governâ€" mental attitude, there is of course ‘the very evident general need for an auâ€" thoritative ‘‘voice for the North,"*‘â€"a voiee that will speak for the North, that will represent the North, and that can authoritatively eall attention alike to the resources and possibilities of the North and to the needs and reâ€" quirements of this country. . The Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade, representâ€" inz all the towns and centres of the North, seems to be the logical body to be the ‘‘voice of the North,.‘‘ During the past year, under all sorts of handâ€" icaps, it has done urusually effective work. During the coming year its useâ€" fulness can be enlarged and extended. Tt is up to the people of all the North Land to show their interest and supâ€" port. At the meeting at the Falls on Thursday perhaps the most important business after all will be the election of the officers of the Associated Boards of Trade. ‘On the pérsonnel of the officers will depend much "bf the success of the work of the year. Many thoughtful people wimi taâ€"irslined to think that the best thing that could happen would be to induce Mr. R. A. Mclnnis to retain the presidency for the coming year and carry on as durâ€" ing the year that is closing. His knowâ€" ledge of the North, his undoubted love for the North, and his marked ability, energy and enterprise make him the ideal man for the place. With the active support of the various boards of trade of the North, with a strong supporting list of officers, and with the hearty coâ€"operation of the people in general, the Associated Boards of Trade of Temiskaming should be a power in the land and a power for the North in the coming year. While the election of officers will undouwbtedly be of great importance, there are also many questions of more thin passing interest to be dealt with ‘nt this annual meéeeting. The Roads ';i]nestion, ofâ€"eourse, will be to the fore, as well as some others of what may be termed ‘"perennial problems of the North."" A new matter. will lfil\e proposal that a representative North Land exhibit be placed at the Canadiâ€" an National Exhibition at Toronto this coming vear. The proposal, first editor #1ven towns of tue Norta uanda coâ€"operatindg to have representative exhibits. A special new building,â€"a North Land building,â€"would house these exthibits, and the whole country would be deâ€" monstrated by its products and reâ€" sources. Timmins, Jroquois Falls, Cachrane, Englehart, New Liskeard, Haileybury, Cobalt and other towns would be asked to coâ€"operate in furâ€" nishing exhibits that would fully and pointedly prove just what sort of a wonderfu} eountry this is, As the Vol VI No )ming year, lAe proposii, HISE publicity by Mr. A. M. Dewar, of The Broke Hustler, Troquois embraces the idea of ALWL the of the North Land coâ€"operating representative North placed at the Canadiâ€" xhibition at Toronto r.â€" ‘The proposal, first by Mr. A. M. Dewar, A. J. KEXNEDY NOW THE CONSERVATNE CANDIOATE Convention at Englehart Unanimously Select New Liskeard Man as Standard Bearer. At the convention called at Engleâ€" hart on (Monday of this week, the Tiâ€" beralâ€"Conservatives of this riding seâ€" lected Mr. A. J. Kennedy, lumberâ€" man and farmer of of New Liskeard, as their standardâ€"bearer. Mr. E. Sheppard, of North Bay, selected at a previous convention, resigned the canâ€" didature last week, it is believed on account of the Attitude of, Premier Drury tawards employees of the Onâ€" tario Government who differ from his views taking part in election contests. At Englehart on Monday, Mr. Kenâ€" nedy accepted the nomination and promised to get right ito the battle and carry on to victory, though handiâ€" capped by the brief time before elecâ€" tion date. The convention looked upâ€" on him as a particularly strong canâ€" didate and were general in their exâ€" pressions of eonfidence that he would win Temiskaming in this contest for Hon. Arthur Meighan‘s Government. MINISTER OF EDUCATION â€" _ AND PARTY VISIT HERE Hon. H. R. Grant and a party of other more or less distinguished perâ€" sonages paid a visit last week to Timâ€" mins. Barlier in the week they had visited New WLiskeard and other points south in the North Land, and from here they went on to Iroquois Falls. It was thought that they might reâ€" main at Iroquois Falls for the North Temiskaming Feachers ‘Convention being held there, but they did not so remain. As a Timmins school boy said, ‘"©They beat it down south again.‘‘ The party included Hon. R. H. Grant, Minister of Education for Ontario; Dr. Waugh, Chief Inspector of Eduâ€" cation for Ontario;, Thos. Marshail, M.P.P., of Welland; Mr. Stringer, M. P.P., for Haldimand; and Chas. Swaâ€" zee, MIJP.P., Niagara Falls. The three last named, the members of the Onâ€" tario Legislature, are the «component parts of a (Committee, ‘Commission, Combination, or Gang, appointed by the Government to investigate the meeds of the schools of ‘the Province. Trey are expected to report their findâ€" ings a»rd_popinions to the next session of the Legislature. No one has yet made the charge that they are doing the work for nothing and paying their bwn expenses. During their visit to Timmins they visited the schools here. They did not visit the new Mattagami school soâ€"far as can be learned.. A visit to this new school section would have been wortlt while and might have given the Minister of Education and the Members ministering {° him â€"a new viewpoint on the way to people of the North Land tackle their own school problems. Very few people in Timmins knew of the visit of this eduâ€" cational party until they had gone again.. However, it is to be sincerely hoped that the party saw or heard or learned®something on their trip that will . at least partly defray the exâ€" penses. It‘s a funny world this North the outside world. ; Troquois Falls is giving a 'banquetl Thursday e\'er'g to the visiting deâ€" legates to the Associated Boards of Trade. Iroquois Falls has an everâ€" erowing Peputation for the pleasantâ€" est sort of hospitality, so all will be ready to agree that the banquet will be a delightful one. Mr. George Ham, of the CP.R., will be one of the speakâ€" ers at the banquet. That alone guaâ€" rantees that the banquet will be woell worth while. Mr. Ham is one of Can-‘ ada‘s best known and most gifted afâ€" terâ€"*mer speakers. In fact he has an International reputation in this line, and his skill at storyâ€"telling places him almost in a class by himâ€" self. He is ‘right there with the humor and the fun, but he also has his seâ€" rious side and his address will leave the audience with a new viewpoint on affairs and much sound solid logic and commonâ€"sense to ceon over. Other speakers expected include:â€"Mr. Bateâ€" man, mining engineer of Cobalt; Hon. Beniah Bowman, Minister of Lands and Forests; E. J. Zavitz, Chief Forâ€" ester of Ontario; and possibly Mr. Hall Caine, son of the famous Manx novelist, Haill Caime. ~Another feaâ€" ture of the Thursday evening proâ€" gramme will be the Minstrel Show. This minstrel show even made the Proâ€" mier laugh on his récent visit to the Falls. It is some funny show, accordâ€" ing@ to those who have seen and heard Land, but the south would make a felâ€" low laughâ€"or weep. c us it. CA T TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9th., 1921. Robbery Occurred Saturday Night. Officer Allen Recovers Goods ; And Arrests Three Men on Tuesday. For the second time within ten days, Connaught Station was broken into on Saturday night or Sunday morning and money and goods to the total vaâ€" lue of about three hundred dollars stolen.

Before \long he was on a trail and that means the one thing with Qfficer Allen, He: had his case All lined up and on Tuesâ€" day was joined by Officer R. Swan of the T. & N. 0. _On Tuesday practicâ€" ally ali of the goods stolen wewe reâ€" covered.> This stuff is now piled up in the Council Chamber, Timmins, and makes a nice little pile. A gramoâ€" phone is included in the array. Three men are also here in Timmins awaitâ€" ing preliminary trial before Magisâ€" trate Atkinson tomorrow on the charge of robbing the Connaught Staâ€" tion. ‘They were brought ‘here last night by Officers Allen and Swan. Their names are given as J. A. Houle, Emile Moutier and Elmyn ‘Cloutier. And Officer Allen is away again after another man that he figures may know a little about the cases. All the goods known to be stolen on Sunday mornâ€" ing have been recovered, and the most of the cash taken, only a small amount spent in the meantime no doubt being missing.

Fuller, president and general manager of the Poreupine Paymaster, took the party to the property, and they were more than pleased with what they saw. The progress made by the Paymaster Mine and the bright promise that appears before the property impressed the visitors. _Other mines in the district were also visited, and the visitors, one and all, have gained much informaâ€" tion in regard to the possibilities and resources of this part of the North Land.

Boyle, of Cobalt, are wellâ€"known throughout the North Land and are widely esteemed. and respected here, and their golden wedding will be the cccasion for a general extending to them of sincere good wishes. Among the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Boyle in Cobalt for the noteworthy anniversary were:â€"William, of Newâ€" dorf, Sask.; James E. and Hugh, of South Poreupine.

The patents of both Mr. Boyle and Mrs. Boyle were among the pioneer settlers of the Lake Dore section in the Eganville district of Renfrew County, Ontario. Mr. and Mrs. Boyle and their sons and daughters have taken their part in the pioneering of this North Land, and all who know this popular pioneer ing family will take the opportunity of the golden wedding occasion to exâ€" tenil very sincere good wishes and apâ€" presistion. 4 A‘t the regular meeting of the Caâ€" edonian Society of Timmins in the 1.O.0.F. Hall on Friday evening of this week, at 8 p.m., the programme will include papers on two nativeâ€"born Sceots who took a very noteworthy part in the building of Canada. Withâ€" ont these two Seotsâ€"Sir John A. Macdonald and Hon. George Brown, â€"Conferedation would not have been accomplished in 1867 and the succeedâ€" ing progress of this country would have been problematical, to say the least. [Mr. W.Coupar will review the life of Hon.: Geo. Brown, while Sir John A. Macdonald will be dealt with by . A. Maedonald.. Musical and literary selections will also feature the programme, and an interesting and agreable evening may confident‘ly be expected. All Scots are welcomed to the meeting of the Caledonians.

Following the visit last week to the North Land of Minister of Education, The Now Liskeard Speaker in its last issue says:â€"‘‘The question of â€"the Agricultural High School is one that has been jingering ‘between the town and the Government for some years but the matter is now finally and deâ€" finitely settled as the Minister of Edu cation has promised that the building would be commenced the first thing in the spring and will be a firstclass building and suitable to the needs of the district. WThis is very gratifying to the representatives of the different organizations in town who have been eoâ€"operating in their endeavors . to bring this matter to a climax. _ Dr. Grant assured the delegation there would be no more cause for anxiecty in this matter. And at once, improve ments will be made in the heating apâ€" paratus of the present building used as a High School, to make things comfortable for the winter. PLEASANT DANCE UP THE RIVER SATURDAY NIGHT Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Brewer, Mattaâ€" gami River, entertained a number of friends on Saturday evening at their residence up the River. A number of guests were present from the district and from the town, and all had a thoâ€" roughly enjoyable time. ‘Cards, dancâ€" ing and other social pleasures featurâ€" ed the evening, while the luncheon served was especially pleasing. ~ Teachers of Northern Part of District Hold Annual Convention at Iroquois Falls. On Thursday and Friday of last week the annual convention of the Northern Temiskaming Teachers Insâ€" titute was held at Iroquois Falls and was largely attended. The Institute includes all the school teachers in the northern part of Temiskaming, there being a similar institute for the southâ€" ern part of the district. At Thursday‘s session Miss Kay of North Bay, gave most interesting adâ€" dresses on **‘Hot Lunches in Rural Schools,"‘ and ‘‘Domestic Science in Public Schools."‘* The address of welâ€" come to the visiting teachers was made by Mayor Vanier of the Falls, the president, Mr. Norman (MeLeod, making appropriate response. EIGHTVâ€"FIVE TEAGHERS IN NORTH TEMISKAMING (The visiting teachers were also takâ€" en on a tour of the ‘big paper mill and were much impressed and astonished at the size and importance of the inâ€" dustry as made evident by this tour, On Thursday evening a public soâ€" cisl evening and banquet was given to the visitors in the Assembly Hall of the Iroquois Fallsy Publis School, There were brief addresses, President McLeod pointing out that while there were 60 teachers in this part of the district last year, noaw with a separate inspectorate of its own it had 85 teaâ€" chers in its borders. A fine musical programme was enjoyed, and Mr. U. T. Heard gave an illustrated address on town and school ground planning. He made clear the financial as well as the physical and mental and moral ‘benefits that came from attention to the beautifvine of towns and homes. A dancing specialty number by Mrs. Carl‘s class made a decided hit. On Friday ‘Mr. Mac Lang, (M.P.P., Inspector Walkem and Inspector Wilâ€" son gave inspiring addresses on the North Land. j For the ensuing year Miss Shaw, of South Poreupine, was chosen as preâ€" sident, and Mr. W. J. Wilson reâ€"electâ€" ‘ed as secretaryâ€"treasurer, Throughout all Canada on Armisâ€" tice Day, Friday, Nov. l1th, a silent tribute is to be given to all the brave men who aided in the winning of the world war. Sharp at 11 o‘clock in the morning all industry shall cease for two full minutes, every wheel shail stop turning, all toil and amusemeni shall be deferred for these two minâ€" utes. It is also desired that on Armisâ€" tice Day every man shall wear a popâ€" py in respect and gratitude for Ithose who lie in Flanders Field, where popâ€" pies blow. The Girls‘ Altar Society of Timmins R. C. Churech has made arâ€" rangemerits to supply all ‘here with poppies for the occasion. (The profits from the sale of the poppies go to paâ€" triotic and humani#tarian causes. ~ SILENT TRIBUTE TO BRAVE ON ARMISTICE DAY MATATCHEWAN GOLD MINES MAY DEVELOP ELECTRICITY It is understood that the Matat-‘ chewan CGold Mines has applied to. the Government for the lease of cerâ€" tain small waftr power rights with the intention of developing power for the present uses of the mine. From reports it would appear that private intérests are ready to provide power for the whole Fort Matatchewan disâ€" trict just as soon as there is assurance that a sufficient number of properties will take power in sufficient quantity to make the development of hydroâ€" electric energy a good business propoâ€" sition. The Matatchewan Gold Mines, apparently, however, do not wish to be dependent on any other concern for their power but wish to develop eleeâ€" tric energy for their own requireâ€" ments. From reports it would appear that surveys, ete., have been made by the Matatchewan Gold Mines in conâ€" nection with a small water power in the district, and work may be comâ€" menced at any*early date on construcâ€" tion if everything goes along all right. The chief water powers in the district are in the control of interests that inâ€" clude Sutcliffe & Neclands of New Liskeard. The idea of these interests is understood to be to develop power on a comparatively large scale and to supply all the néeds of the whole Matâ€" ’atchewan district. Jt The discovery of coal is again reâ€" ported near Sudbury. The discoverers are apparently going to keep on, like the lad in the fable, shouting ** Wolf, Wolf!"‘ until one day they will really discover coal and no one will believe them. P.S.â€"This statement is just about as indefinite as the discovery of eoal in the Sudbury district.> ol Lateral Work Being Done at 150 and 300 ft. Level. 30 Men at Work. Mr. H. W. Winton, of Chicago, the president of the Union Mining Corpoâ€" ration, came to the Camp last week to visit the property in Whitesides. The progress made and the prospects apâ€" pearing should prove encouraging to him and to the interests he represents. The Union Mining Corporation has expended considerable money on the development of the Whitesides proâ€" perty. But thy have much to show for their outlay. Under the able and careful superintendence of Mr. C. Denker, who is himself a capable minâ€" ing engineer, much progress has been made. The shaft is now down 300 feet and the work at each step forward has had eminently satisfactory reâ€" sults. Lateral work is now being carâ€" ried on at the 150 and 300 foot levels. Good bodies of highâ€"grade ore have been located and all the prospects of the property seem to point to suwecess. The Union ‘Mine is now getting ready to test out the property at depth by means of a diamond drilling camâ€" paign, ‘This diamond driling is to start at once to prove the ore body to depth. : 3 UNION MINE TO GIAMOND DRILL 1N WHITESIOFS The Union Mining Corporation proâ€" perty is in Whitesides Township, some thirty miles from Timmins, south and west.. This southwest seeâ€" tion of the Poreupine has been receivâ€" ing considerable attention this year, considerable prospecting having been done in the Towships of Whitesides, Godfrey, Bristol. and ‘Carscallen. A number of noteéworthy finds are reâ€" ported in this area, and oldâ€"timers are renewing their faith. It is interâ€" esting to recall that in the early days of the Porcupine this area was stakâ€" ed tight. Carscallen then was consiâ€" dered as one of the most promising townships. The lack of interest in this southwest section was not due to any discovery of lack of merit, but rather to the fact that the discovery of the Hollinger, Melntyre, Dome, etc., overâ€" shadowed everything else and attractâ€" ed the special attention to this part of the Camp. Many oldâ€"timers have kept their evyes upon Carseallen, Bristol, Whitesides and Godfrey Township, and the work conducted apparently with unusual success by the Union Mining Corporation is bringing back attention and interest to this section. With anything like adequate transâ€" iportation facilitie the area would certainly boom. MR. L. S. NEWTON THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE BAND A meeting of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band was held on Monday evening, Secretary A. (Clark occupying the chair in the absence of Viceâ€"Pres. A. Prout. Mr. Clark opened the meeting with a motion ‘that Mr. L. 8. Newton be the President of the Band. This motion was seconded iby Mr,. J. Geils. Mr. Newton, who was present, said he would like to say a few words ‘before the motion was put ibefore the meetâ€" ing. He said he had been approached by several as to ‘taking this position, and finally he had desired to accept it if he could be of service to the Band as he hbad always keen greatly interâ€" ested in the progress of the Band and had done his best in the past to help the Band along. The motion was then put to the meeting and carried unâ€" animously. Mr. Newton was then askâ€" ed to take the chair, and conducted the meeting in bis usual efficient way )for the rest of the evening. Among other matters dealt with, it was decidâ€" [ed to give a recommendation to the ate bandmaster, Mr. Wallo, for his services. The Secrétary was instructâ€" ed to write to the Williams (Musical Co, regarding the purchase of 20 muâ€" sic stands, Mr., Wolno, the new bandâ€" master, spoke in regarding to giving a Sunday evening concert so that the publicâ€"would have opportunity to henur the Band. ~He suggested a silver colâ€" lection to help defray expenses of the hall, ete. After discussion the matterx, was left in the hands of the Musica! Committee. Mr. Wolno also spoke on the time for practice to start, This was at 8 o‘clock, and he pointed out that it was hardly fair for those who came on time for others to come at 98.30 and 9. He asked the members of the Band to kindly bear in mind the fact that practices began at 8 o‘clock and so far as at all possible to make a special point of hbeing in attendance at that time. of to All good citizens of the North I who _ can find time to make the should attend the Associated Bo Single Copies 5 Cents ud attend the Associaiéd Doards Trade meeting at Troquois Falis morrow (Thursday).
