For some time past it ‘has been felt that the methods prevailing in reâ€" gard to the taxi business were not conducive to the good of either the taxiâ€"drivers or the public. Accordâ€" ingly, remedies were sought, and these developed into the holding of a ‘‘getâ€" together‘‘ meeting last Friday and the formation of the Northern Onâ€" tanio Taxi Drivers Association. The organization meeting â€" was preceded by an enjoyable banquet at the Prince of Wales Hotel, about ninety per cent. of the taxiâ€"drivers in the Camp being present or represented All present had a good time at the supper, and after the good things had bheen speeded to their destination,. the Association was Tormed. _ Officers were elected as follows:â€"â€" Presidentâ€"Ri.

These fares â€" are reasonable and fair, and appear as low as posâ€" sible for good service. The Councils will give them consideration, and no douwbt will pass byâ€"laws to â€" make them effective as the standard rates. only a pile of ruins. Mr. Justice Orde earried the records in this case with him. In his judgment last week he dismissed the action. MceChesney Son had sued the Northern Power Limited for $4,011.86 damages for inâ€" juries to the sawmill near the Timâ€" mins Landing by the floods of the spring of 1921. MeChesney Son claimed that the Power Co. was reâ€" sponstble for the floods through their dams and the control of the water. In his judgment Mr. Justice Orde holds that there would have been a flood in any event in 1921, and furâ€" ther that the MeChesneyv sawmill beâ€" rates, greatest service to the public. At the meeting Friday evening all parts of the Camp were well repreâ€" sented, Schumacher and South Porâ€" cupine taxiâ€"drivers being present as well as the majority of the Timmins drive: Mr. Stewart MeKinnon, of Sydney, Nova Seotia, brother of Mrs.. W. J. Best, was in town last week in conâ€" nection with the death of Mr. Best. Mr. MeKinnon attended to the packâ€" ing and shipping of the household goods and looked after other matters arising from the sad death of Mr. Best. On behalf of his sister and himself, Mr. MeKinnon wished to exâ€" press his sincere thanks and appre ciation for the kindness and symâ€" to Last week Mr.: Justice Orde anâ€" nounced judgment at Toronto in the case of 8.

AXNEXATIONS READY FOR NFXT GOUNCIL MEETING Solicitor Explains Progress Made Other Business at Town Council on Monday. The regular meeting of Town Counâ€" cil was held Monday afternoouon with the Mavor in the chair and Councalâ€" lors J. H. Bacon, E. L. Longmore, L. S. Newton and J. E. Morin presâ€" ent. (Much routine business, includâ€" ing the passing of accounts, salary lists, ete., was dealt with. + The Timmins Transfer, after a disâ€" cussion on the matter, was granted a building permit allowing the firm to move their office building from its location at the eorner of Spruce street and Second Avenue to a site on the rear of the vacant lot alongâ€" side the Kingston â€" Hotel. When moved the building is to be finished outside with ‘brick or tile to comply with the Building Byâ€"law. Under the ‘byâ€"law the Town Emgineer conâ€" sidered he could not grant a permit for the moving of the building. Counâ€" cil took the stand that if the building were bricked first it could be moved under the byâ€"law, and there was noâ€" thing to be gained by putting the money to carry on the finances of the Town until the taxes for the year come in was given its required readâ€" ings and duly passed. Mr,. J. E. Newton, of the Separate School Board, called attention to the need for a ditch and a sidewalk past the two schools near the Hollinger Townsite. Council decided to have cobblestone ditches put in and also a ‘board sidewalk for the present. A letter was received from the reâ€" centlyâ€"organized Taxiâ€"Drivers Assocâ€" iation, outlining the purposes of the Association, setting forth the tariff of rates decided â€" upon, and asking the coâ€"operation of the Council in putâ€" ting the business on the best possible basis. ‘The letter asked that ‘the Council pass a byâ€"law for the enâ€" Timmins Transfer to this unnecesâ€" sary expense. If the provisions of the byâ€"law were all complied with after the removal ‘of the building, this was all that was required. It was decided to comply with the suggestion of Mr. J. T. Easton that a pump be supplied for the cemetery, so that water could be available there for keeping the lawns and fHowers in condition. The ceost will be around thirty dollars for this pumping outâ€" 6. Timmins Transfer to sary expense.

Couneil took the matter into consideration, took the matter into consideration, and will have the Solicitor‘s opinion on the legal aspects of the question. Letters were received from the Fire Underwriters, one from â€" Necretary Robertson objecting to the idea of using gasoline engines as auxiliary power at the pumping station. Counâ€" cillor Longmore pointed â€" out that easoline engines wére approved_ by the Underwriters for such purposes, and were found to be much more The "‘Town Solicitor, Mr. D. W. O ‘Sullivan referred to the present situation in regard to the annexation of certain sections to the town. Acâ€" curate and complete plans for most of the townsites in question were now available and the others would be available in a day or two. All other preliminaries were also ready. He said that at the next meeting of Council, Aug. 13th, everything would be ready for their approval, and then nothing would remain but the passing by the Railway and Municipal Board. The Solicitor again pointed out that convenient and speedier in operation than steam power. Thbe letter was laid over until further particulars are to hand. Mr. A..

Last Tuesday Monica, the sixâ€"yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. Thos. Foster, foreman of the Cochrane vard office of the C.N.R., was missing from her home. She had gone to play with some neighbor children and not returning home search was made for her. ‘Search was continued with increasing â€" alarm _ throughout the night, fear being expressed that she had wandered away and fallen into one of the neighboring lakes. ‘Reâ€" doubled vigour was given to the one O0f the neiglhiboring lakes. ‘Iveâ€" doubled vigour was given to the search on Wednesday morning, and about 9 o%clock two boys who had asâ€" sisted in the search discovered blood stains on the road near the, Foster home.

The police have followed every possible line of enquiry and it is unâ€" derstood that they have had two or three suspects under _ examination, but in each case the suspected person was able to show his innocence. The people of â€" Cochraneâ€" are aaturalily creatly agitated over the frightful crime and a decidedly bitter spirit is shown regarding the perpetrator of the foul rape and murder. There is a general disposition to dlook upon the murderer as foully insane, but one of the perverted type so dangerous that his early death would be the only method of protection for humanity.X has the distinction of doing mining work at a greater depth than that carried on by any other mining comâ€" pany in Northern Ontario. For the month of June the Meinâ€" tyre set a new high record for itself. Bullion to the value of $247,000.00 was produced by the Melntyre in June. The Melntyre is apparently aiming at a production of $300,000.00 or more per month and this figure is well within sight now. It is likely, indeed, that the $300,000.00 mark will be nearly approached for the present month of July.

The formation generally speaking turns out to be of the regular Dome and Hollinger type, the body of porphyryâ€"schist being in contact with greenstone. Fortyâ€"seven rich samples were secured last week from three feet on the property. Free gold is of very frequent occurrence.

It is not known just ‘how the deceased came to his death, but it is thought that he entered one of the tanks to ‘break down rock that had choked in the hbin.â€" A pick found near him in the tank would support this theory. It is thought that while attempting to clear the choked ore, the rock caved below him and hbe was dragged down and erushed to death by the cavying ore. So far as can be learned, he went on shift as usual Monday afternvon, and after leaving his luneh pail proâ€" ceeded on an inspection tour. After that he was not seen again alive. Alarm was roused when he did not appear again, and a very close search was made for him throughout the mill, every nook and corner being searched, and every possible theory tested out as to where he might be or what could have happened to him. Eventually on Tuesday morning his dead body was located in one of the ore bins orâ€" tanks. Following the usual procedure in case of all aceiâ€" dents at the mines, an inquest is heing held this week.
