The regular meeting of the Town CWouneil was held on Monday afterâ€" noon with the Mayor in the chair and Conncillors J. E. Sullivan, E. L. Longâ€" more, E. S. Noble, L. E. Newton, T. F. King, and J. E. Morin present. On motion of Councillors Sullivan and Longmore, the account of Mrs. Moffat of $14.00 was ordered paid and "cdunCIL APPROVES SALE OF $40,000 DEBENTURES Holiinger Takes $37,000; McMartin Estate, $11,000. Other Business At Last Meeting of 1921 Council. at the same time notice was given that the Town will not be held responsible for hospital accounts in future unless the same are directly authorized, Refund was made of poll taxes in a number of cases where the taxpayer was assessed also for income tax or was a resident of another municipalâ€" it} where he had paid taxes this year. A refund was also made to Mr. J. W. ;?clestone for overassessment he beâ€" ing a householder in the municipality and being assessed for income as a nonâ€"householder. # The Treasurer was authorized to pay Town Employees on December 20th,. in full for December, as has been the Christmasâ€"time eustom ‘here,. WThe usual routine acounts, payrolls, ete., were passed and ordered paid. On motion of Councillors Morin and King it was resolved that application be made to the local Board of Health for permission to erect an Isolation Hospital on Lot No. 521, Cedar street, pot far from the fire hall. On motion of Councillors E. L. Longmore and J. E. Sullivan, it was resolved that the tender of Mr. John B. Holden on behalf of the D. MeMarâ€" tin Estate for the debenture issue of $£11,589.00, ten years, at 7 per cent., be accepted at a price to yield 74 per cent. to the purchaser. On motion of Councillors Longmore and Bullivan, it (was also resolved that the tender of the Hollinger Conâ€" solidated Gold Mines for the debenâ€" ture issue of $37,801.20 at 6 per cent. to run 15 years, at a price to yield the purchaser 7 per cent. be accepted. Council considered it was making an unusually good sale at the prices givâ€" en. These prices are much better than sec=red for previous town debentures. The sale of these debentures is of speâ€" cial financial advantage to the town at this time. ‘The Mayor in commenting upon theâ€"resolutions after they had been passed by the Council, said that if other local people would take up other town debentures it would place Timmins in good financial position for the year. â€" The Town has about $135â€" 000.00 worth of good debentures still to dispose of, including the debenâ€" tures for the disposal plj’nt. They are excellent investments and their sale at the same time would be of advantâ€" age to the town at the present time. It is an opportunity for local people with money to invest. These two issues of debentures are for sewers and waterworks, and the _ Tt is understood that the Poreupine Imperial Mine is to go into the hands of a receiver. It is said that the work done at the property was confined too much to several highâ€"grade veins. These were narrow tkough rich, but were not extensive enough to be comâ€" mercially profitable. The property generally, it is said, has not been genâ€" prally tested out. Reference was made to the matter of the telephone service. â€" Councillor Longmore said that there had been very great improvement in the past few days, and the service now was good.. He ‘had thought that perhaps the girls at the local phone office might be responsfble, but from what he had seen in recent visit to the cenâ€" tral for dong distance calls he was convineed that the girls had been doâ€" ing their best and that it was imposâ€" sible for anyone to handle the busiâ€" ness that they had to do without furâ€" ther help or improved board. Addâ€" itions to the staff last week had given improvement and it was hoped that the good service would continue and improve. The matter of granting a new franchise would be dealt with by the next Council. some of the Councillors that the Town had no authority to. take any action until the townsite was part of the town. When it was part of the town the Northern Ontario Lights & Power Ca. eould be asked in the usual way to supply that part of the municipality with lights and arrangements made to that end. In the meantime, however, there was nothing that the town corld do. f The matter of lights for the new Hollinger Townsite was up for disâ€" cussion again. It was pointed out by Vol VI â€"No. 50 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE The nominations for Mayor and Councillors for 1922 will be held on Monday, Dec. 16th. If more canâ€" didates are nominated and qualify for the officers than are required to fill the places, the election will take place on the following (Monday, Jan. 3rd. 1922. Election, if Required, Will be Held on Monday, January 3rd. Up to the present there has been little talk about the municipa® counâ€" cil. This may be taken as general apâ€" proval or satisfaction with the Mayor and Council for the year now passing out. â€" Perkaps the Dominion election has overshadowed the local affairs, and with the national event now out of the way the municipal situation may rouse more interest and at‘tenâ€" tion. There is a general disposition, however, to agree that the Mayor and Council for the past year have given good service. By some, taxes may be considered as high, but as one man said, ‘‘Everything is high everywhere anymore.* And in addition ‘the many public= works ~carried through this year make the people feel as if they got something all right this year for their taxes,. ‘The Council have had many problems to deal with and have certainly given considerable time and attention to the interests of the town. MUNIGIPAL NOMINATION MONOAY, DEGEMBEN 26 The attitude of the present Council as to a further year‘s work for the Town is not known, though it is unâ€" derstood some members of the Council do not wish to stand for reâ€"election. In the next week or two, however, it is likely that interest in municipal affairs will be more evident and some idea of the general attitude be given. DEATH OF MRS. J. MORIN, OF MOUNTJOY, ON SATURDAY A sad death took place at Mattaâ€" gami on Saturday when Mrs. J. Morin of Mountjoy passed away after a brief illness. In addition to the beâ€" reaved husband two smiall children are left to mourn. The deceased was a young woman who had many friends and who was highly regarded lby all, and there will be sincere sympathy with the family in her death. DEAL REPORTED IN REGARD TO SCHUMACHER MINE From wellâ€"informed circles in Toâ€" ronto there comes news to the effect that a deal is now in progress in reâ€" gard to the Schumacher Mine at Schuâ€" macher. It is understood that if this deal goes through the Schumacher will be reâ€"opened at an early date and development work prosecuted on an extensive and aggressive seale. Just what interests are behind the plan to take over the Sohumacher is not known. One story, not confirmed as yet, is to the effect that an established North Land mining company is interâ€" ested.. What the public is particularâ€" ly interested in is in steing the Schuâ€" macher reâ€"opened with a chance to deâ€" velop the property and test it out thoâ€" roughlv. The Schumacher has been developâ€" ed to the 700â€"foot level with promisâ€" ing results. Considerable fair grade ore has been encountered. There is a good mill on the property. : A very sad accident ocourred at Kirkland Lake on Monday of this week, whereby Mr. Steve Donaldson, for several years captain for the Beaâ€" ver at Kirkland Lake met a sudden death. He was walking through a tunnel after a blast had lbeen set off and a large pieve of rock fell upon him. It is thought that death was instanteous. This is the fourth death in the Donaldson family inside the past two years, the father, mother and a daughter alk passing away in that time. CAPT. S. DONALDSON KILLED AT KIRKLAND LAKE The late Mr. 8. Donaldson was 33 years of age, and leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. He was a brother of Mrs. T. Hardy of Timmins, and Mrs. F. C. Evans, of South Poreupine.

On Sunday evening, Dec. 18th. in the New Empire Theatre, after the church services the Timmins Citizens‘ Band is giving another Band Concert. A few weeks ago the Band delighted a large andience with a Sunday evenâ€" ing band concert of special excellence. The Band, however, expects to eclipse the previous success by the event on Sunday evening. The programme preâ€" pared is an unusually pleasing one. In addition to the selections by the Band there will be vocal and instrumental numbers and literary selections suitâ€" able to the occeasion. Under the leaderâ€" ship of the new bandmaster, Mr. Wolâ€" no, the Timmins Band is developing into an unusually effective and ereditâ€" able organization. These Sunday evenâ€" ing band concerts are proving very popular and the event on Sunday evening, Dec. 18th. will no doubt draw a very large crowd. The Band wiil have at least five new selections speâ€" cially prepared for the occasion and other items on the programme will be equally attractive, ANOTRER CONGERT BY iIMMINS BAND SUNDAY Special Programme of Highâ€"class Muâ€" sic, Vocal and Instrumental. On Sunday of last week there was unveiled at the St, Andrew‘s church at North Bay a tablet to the rememâ€" brance of the 28 from the congregaâ€" tion who had paid the supreme sacriâ€" fice in the Great War and to the 169 others who ‘had answered the call and served their country and the right, reâ€" turning again when the days of war were passed. Among the names on the tablet were those of Messrs. P. Dougall and Wain. Twaddle, now both of Timmins. ‘The service in connecâ€" tion with the unveiling of the tablet was an unusually impressive one. The music was of especially inspiring type the singing of ‘Crossing the Bar,‘‘ by the choir, and "‘In Flanders Field,"‘ by Mrs. Lamb being particularly imâ€" pressive. _ Another striking feature was the playing of ‘‘"The Last Post,"" by ‘Bugler Wyndbham Beattie. The unveiling of the table was done by little Alex Soutar whose father was killed in action with the 159th. A sermon of much power and inspiraâ€" tion was delivered on the occasion by the pastor of the church, Rev. R. 8. Johnston. > The tablet costs $1,000. Of this amount $550,00 was raised by special offering and Senator George Gordon and Mayor John Ferguson of North Bay are defraying the remaindâ€" er of the cost.

And John Hamâ€" luck, an Austrian, is still another speâ€" cial guest. John says he was offered a couple of dollars to go and get a couple of trunks from ‘the depot. He was getting the trunks when the poâ€" lice got him. ‘The trunks, according to the police, are full of the stuff that Attorneyâ€"General Raney hates so much Bomebody will likely get $200.00 or more. There‘s nothing much like $2.00 rbout any of this liquor business. Geo. Hoi, who runs a pooiroom on Fourth Avenue, isn‘t a guest at the Hotel de Greer, but he is going to get an inviâ€" tation to bethe guest of ‘the authoriâ€" ties for a little time on WThursday morning.

On Monday morning while crossing the ‘‘slimes‘‘ on his way to work with the 7 o‘clock shift at the Hollinger, Mr. William Stanley Vienote, dropped down dead. When he left home, after eating breakfast in the usual way, he was apparently in. the best of health and his usual cheerful self. Before reaching the mine, however, he sufferâ€" ed an attack of heart trouble, and suddenly eollapsed to rise no more. Other workmen found the body, but all efforts to revive him were of no avail,. The sudden dea‘th came as a decided shock to all who knew the late Mr. Vienote, who was popular and mnighly respected by all. OROPPEO DEAD ON HIG WAY T0 WORK AT MINE (The late William Stanley Vienote was about 37 years of age. A wife and four children are left to mounr hi3 untimely death and to these the most sincere and heartfelt sympathy of all is extended.. The deceased lived in Moneta and was much esteemed by all in the district. Two brothers, Harâ€" ry anrd ‘‘Bud,"‘ reside in the Poreuâ€" pine, and to them the sympathy of many friends here will also go out in this sad incident. The family home is at New Germany, Nova Scotia, and the body of the late William, iStanley Vienote was shipped there toâ€"day for interment, GOOD PROGRESS BEING MADE ON BIG CORNER BUILDING Excelien‘t progress is being made in the work of the erection of the new store building for Marshallâ€"Eeclesâ€" tone Limited at the corner of Pine street and Third Avenue. The conâ€" tractors, Hill:Clarkâ€"Francis, ‘have a good foree of men on the job, with all the necessary equipment for the work. One of the pieces of equipment is a large steam boiler. The man in charge of this has comfortable temâ€" porary quarters in a small building right on the job. It is expected that the new building will be ready for ocâ€" eupancy in February. The new building will be one of the most modern and_ atitractive store buildings in the North Land. In preâ€" vious references The Advance did not mention one feature that has specialâ€" ly impressed any who have seen the plans. This is the automobile display window. The auto display section has large hinged plate glass windows the full size of the front of this part of the buildin‘g, and these glass windows are also doors that swing back to alâ€" low for the entrance or exit of ears. CALEDONIANS ENJOY TWO VERY EXCELLENI PAPERS ‘The regular meeting of the Caledoâ€" nian Soci¢ty of Timmins was well atâ€" tended last Friday evening in the L.O. O.F. Hall, and all present thoroughly enjoyed the very interesting and insâ€" piring programme. Mr. M. B. Scott, president of the Society, presided. Mr. D. Dunlap, one of the directors of the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines, was unanimously elected as an honorâ€" ary member of ‘the Society. Several applications for membership were reâ€" ceived and passed upon. (Mr. Andrew Downie gave a paper on ‘‘John Bull,‘‘ that showed a depth of thought and an originality of outlook that were particularly inspiring. Mr. Downie showed how other empires had fallen because of selfishness, greed and low ideals. Great Britain by a more unâ€" selfish outlook and by ‘""playing fair‘‘ with her own and other peoples had grown truly grea‘t. Touching on moâ€" dern problems he emphasized the neâ€" cessity for an unselfish outlook and a square deal to all. Between capital and labour, he pointed out there must be this square deal,â€"a fair day‘s work for a ifair day‘s pay. There must be coâ€"operation and confidence. Mr. P. Dougall‘s address on *‘What is Success?‘‘ was also a thoughtful and inspiring paper. His central thought was that true success lies in ‘the serâ€" vice of others, and in the development of the right type of character. Hearty votes of thanks were tendered Mr. Downie and Mr. Dougall for their exâ€" cellent papers. A piano solo by Miss iGifi'en was much appreciated, while iMr. Downie‘s humorous solo was well applauded. Dancing was enjoyed durâ€" ing the evening, and all presen‘t voted Ethe meeting another allâ€"round pleasâ€" ing success. Having finished their business for the year at Monday‘s meeting it will not be necessary to hold the statuory meeting of the Town Council toâ€"morâ€" row (Thursday). Two Polls Said to Have Been Missed, The Ballot Boxes Not Arriving. PROTEST MAY BF MADE IN TEMISKAMINEG ELECTION While there is nothing official in the matter, there is a possibility that the recent Dominion Election in Teâ€" miskaming may be protested. Street talk, as usual, makes the possibility into a forgone conclusion, but up to the present there is by no means any certainty that the present result of the election will be disturbed. At preâ€" sent all the talk about a protest is unâ€" official, but the discussion is at least interesting. Thet grounds alleged for the protest is the statement that two ballot boxes failed to arrive for use in the election and that as a conseâ€" quence there were polls at two places that were not held. These two places are given as Wawaitin and Moose Factory. Those advocating a protest emphasize the irregularity that thus kept a numiber of voters from the opâ€" portunity of voicing their opinion. The closeness of the contest also sugâ€" gests to these people the possibility (they spell it, ‘"probability.>) that the other election to ifollow a protest would likely result in the election of a supporter to the new government at Ottawa. On the other hand, it is pointed out that at the two polls namâ€" ed there would not be enough votes, even if they all} went the one way, ta alter the present standing of the can«= didates, and so the protest would not be altogether sportsmanlike, as no other irregularities are suggested. In this connection it may not be out of place to mention in passing ‘that the recent election was worthy of note as clean and well conducted in every way. CLINIC ROOMS MOVED TO KING‘S BUILDING, PINE ST. The Clinic Rooms and office of the Public Health Nurse have been moved this week from the premises next to Grill‘s jewe‘lry store to the quarters next to King‘s Amusement Parlors. MR. S. GRILLS POUND DEAD IN HIS CABIN IN MONETA On Sunday the dead body of Mr. Sam Grills was found at his cabin in Moneta,. A physician, hastily sumâ€" moned when the discovery was made, found ‘that death had taken place many hours previously, probably on Saturday. Death was due to natural causes. The deceased had been missâ€" ed around for a couple of days and investigation resulted in the discovery that he had passed away, The late Mr. ‘Gnills was an engineer by profesâ€" sion and had followed that ealling for many yéars. More recently he had been in the employ of the T. & N. 0. in their car shops here. He was born in England, though a resident off Caaâ€" ada for many years. He was wellâ€" known and wellâ€"liked in the Poreupine where he had spent a numiber of years. He is survived by his wife who resides in Cobalt. The funeral takes place toâ€"day, interment ‘being made at Timâ€" mins cemetery. % COL. L. T. MARTIN ILL ON VISIT HERE THIS WEEK. Chairman Gteo. W. Lee, and Comâ€" missioners ‘Col. MelLaren and Col. Martin, of the T. & N. 0. Railway Commission, visited the camp toâ€"day on one of their regular inspection trips over the line. They were accomâ€" panied by Col. Roberts, of Grimsby, and Col. MceCormick, of Hamilton, who are the guests of Col. MeLiaren. \Col. Martin recently had an ulcerâ€" ated tooth that caused him considerâ€" able trouble.

Martin was taken from the car to the hospital where the Xâ€"Ray was used. After receiving medical attention, Col. Martin was sufficiently recovered to leave here with the party on the 12.30 train. The new Commission has shown such a careful and wholeâ€"hearted inâ€" terest in their work that they have won innumeralble friends in the North Land, and as Col. Martin was known and esteemed here previous to his appointment, it is not too much to say that there will be sincere wishes from wide circles of friends hereâ€" abouts that Col. Martin may make speedy and complete recovery from his present indisposition. On Friday evening of this week a Masquerade Ball is being given in the MeIntvre Recreation Hall at Schuâ€" macher.
