Drag your carcass to the Orienta At Home to be given by Kara sauncâ€" torum, No, 153, Oasis of Timmins, Sahara of Ontario, to the Sheiks and Tribesmen and Visitors. â€" ‘*Ladies stay at home with your children,""‘ is the advice on these extended invitaâ€" ions. ‘‘We never sleep, but we eat %:, our ancestors, who swung from «ze limhs of trees by their tail,"‘ is another comment. hA Tt was the famous Joe MceGraw who decided that the ‘*Orientals‘‘ must just naturally be ‘‘Chinamen,‘‘ and so persists in referring to the local ‘Oriental Lodgo in that way. Probably, it is this fact that makes the Orientals in their original invitations to an At Home insert the following paragraph : ‘"Statistiecs show. that less than a third of the world‘s population is white, and only ten per cent. act that way. If you are an Oriental you beâ€" long to the white ten per cent."‘ To which Joseph willâ€" likely reply that the trouble in Ireland will never be settled so long as white men talk this way. â€" But even Joe will &sAmit that the inâ€" vitations refervred to are some originâ€" al invitations. Printed on a broadside of goldenâ€"rod paper, and with much humor and originality, they tell of an At Home to be given by Kara Saneâ€" torum, No. 153, Oasis of Timmins, Sahara of Ontario, to the Sheiks and Tribesmen â€" and Visitors. â€" **Ladies The President, Mr. M.

Mr. Downie, in eostume, gave a solo that brought enâ€" thusiastic encore. Mrs,. M. B. Scott and Mrs. J. R. Todd favoured the gathering with a duet that was a doâ€" lightful feature of the evening. The gathering was also indebted to ‘Miss CGiffin, Mrs,. J. K. Moore and Mr. W. H. Wilson for a plentitude of the best piano music during the evening. All present enjoyed the evening, and all, young & old, entered with the greatest zest into the pleasures provided for the evening. A pleasant lunch was served and the evening closed with * Auld Lang Syne,"‘ in which Master Willie assisted greatly in the accomâ€" paniment. ‘Those in costume added much to the evening‘s fun, the masâ€" querades being most amusing and doâ€" ing much to bring about the general jollity and sociability that made the evening such a pronounced succeess.

Hall on F l# t ie ang ie 10 ( The fire brigade had a call Monday a few minutes after noon, and made their usual record response. The call was due to danger of a fire, rather than actual fire, the cause of the alarm being overheated stovepipes at Mrs, Dewar‘s, Third Avenure. No damage was done and no loss sustainâ€" ed. T A very sad incident oceurred last week in town when the dead body of Mr, Wm. Cuthbertson was found on Saturday last in one of the new Holâ€" linger houses into which he had been preparing to move his family from the East. The late [Mr. Cuthbertson had been employed at the Hollinger Mine here and had been arranging to move his family here. He had secured a few days‘ leave of absence from work so that he could get the house all ready for the family. The family was expected to come here this week. Last week Mr. Cuthbertson was working around the house getting things ready. He had the stove placed ready to put up when he passed away. It would appear that after working at the stove he was seized with heart trouble and fell over to rise no more, the body being stretched on the floor near the stove. The body was found by a man visiting the new houses to w‘in them against the attempted use of the sewers ‘before the connections were made. Coming to the house takâ€" en by Mr.Cuthbertson, he entered to ’ï¬nd the dead man on the floor near the partly erected stove. Dr. Moore 1wus summoned at once, and after exâ€" amination found an inquest unnecessâ€" ary, death being due to natural causes. The late Mr. Cuthbertson was a man about 50 or 60 years of age. From letters in his possession, his wife and family reside in or near Eganville, Ontario, but no details are available up to the present. A telegram was sent to his wife, but up to the presert no response has been received. The Hollinger Mine, as is useal in such ceases, is doing everything possible and making all efforts not only to get in touch with the relatives of the deceasâ€" ed employee but also to make matters as easy as possible for them. In the‘ meantime the body is being held herei at Mr. J. T. Easton‘s undertaking parlors. It is understood, from reâ€" marks dropped by the deceased that he expected his wife to come here this week. From the condition of the body when found and other evidence it is believed that the man was dead maybe three days when discovered. Neighbors had not seen him for about | four days, but naturally had thoughtl that he was away from the house, perâ€" haps away to accompany his family' here. . â€"+â€" f T"On Friday evening ithe New Empire Theatre was filled with lovers of highâ€" class musie gathered to hear the conâ€" cert given under the auspices of the Altar Girls‘ Society of the R. C. Chureh. The artists of the evening were M. Jean Riddez, of the Grand Opera of Paris, M. J. Robert Talbot, violinist, and (M. (Pamplhile Langlois, pianist. Jean Riddez proved to be a baritone with an unusually fine voice of much power and range and perfectâ€" ly controlled. In addition he put a wealth of feeling and expression into his singing and this gave his selecâ€" tions a special significance. The vioâ€" linist, M. Talbot, showed himself an artist of much merit and his selecâ€" tions were greatly enjoyed. The piaâ€" nist, M. Langlois, both in his pianoâ€" forte solos and as an accompanist, was strikingly effective. ‘The selecâ€" tions given by ‘M. Riddez would no doubt have made a much more general popular appeal if more of them had been in English, for, although the audience found delight in Ithe beauty of the voice and the music, there is always an added interest when the apâ€" peal of the words of a song may hbe understood. During the evening M. Riddez sang three songs in English, in two of these having wiolin accompaniâ€" ment in addition to the piano. ‘(‘The Land of the Sky Blue Water‘‘ was especially attractive and appealing in its harmony and beauty of setting. DIE? WHILE PREPARING /TO MOVE FAMILY TO TOWN The programme throughout was a highâ€"class one and the singing of M. Riddez, the violin playing of M. Talâ€" bat and the piano playing of M. Lanâ€" glois all were a delight to the lovers of music who had the privileee of hearine them. L Bariténe of Paris Opera, and Gifted ianist and Violinist Provide Highâ€"Class Programme. LARGE ATTENDANGE AT JEAN RIDDFEZ GONCGERT TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2nd., 1921. The gunman in question is Mr. Fraâ€" sery Canadian agent for the Birmingâ€" ham Small Arms Co., makers of guns and accessories. He has been giving a demonstration of the products of the firm he represents in the George Taylor Hardware Co. store. Mr. Fraâ€" ser, who served on the western front in the Royal Air Force, has the conâ€" trol for Canada of the products of the Birmingham Smaill Arms, the greatest manufacturers in the world now of guns and ammunition. The deâ€" monstration has been attracting literâ€" ally hundreds of people to the Taylor store, and Mr. Fraser has created the greatest interest among ‘hunters and others in this district, as well as provâ€" ing beyond question that he knows his subject thoroughly. Last night a shooting gallery was arranged in the store and practical demonstration givâ€" en of/ the guns in action. { Mr. W. D. Cuthbertson, Inspector of Taxation, Déepartment of Finance, Ottawa, is in town this week in conâ€" nection with income fax matters. | ‘*civilized"‘ part of Ontario, ‘holding up banks, stealing autos, murdering citizens, and escaping from jails, it was only to be expected that the men of ‘this> ‘‘uncivilized‘‘ North Land would be frightened to death at a gunman ‘being right in town and boldâ€" ly advertising himself.. Accordingly in the past few days fully five hunâ€" dred men have found out where the gunman was located and have paid him a visit. Even the police went and viewed this gcunman at work and were interested in his evident skill and knowledse. ‘‘Cunman in town!‘‘ was the startâ€" ling warning on handbills distributed in Timmins last week. With all the reports of the work of gunmen in the Word was received in town toâ€"day (Wednesday) that Mr. E. E. Shepâ€" pard, Liberalâ€"Conservative candidate for the riding has given his resignaâ€" tion to the Executive. It is not known at present publicly the exact reason for the resignation but the public is inclined to connect it with Premier Drury‘s recent statement as to all Ontario Government employees being forbidden to take any part in election contests. Mr. Sheppard is a conductor on the T. & N. O. Ry:, A meeting of representatives of the party has been called for toâ€"day at Haileybury to: deal with the matter. It is thought likely that the choice for candidate will be Mr. Kennedy, lumâ€" berman and farmer of New Liskeard, FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE WATCH GUNMAN IN TIMMINS Last week a party of men went in to West Shinningtree to test out the merits of a property near the White Rocek claims. This week Mr. Anderâ€" chuck with his diamond drilling outfit and ~some further men went in to work on theâ€"property. â€" A campaign of exploration work is to be earried on to test out the merits of the proâ€" perty, the Hollinger having taken an option for this purpose. _ Diamond drilling will be a special feature of the work, and it may be taken for granted that the property will be well tested out, and if it ‘has the goods early development may be expected. In entering the West Shiningtree field the Hollinger is simply following out‘ the policy adopted of putting ‘back some of its surplus in the develpsâ€" ment of other mines in the ‘North Land. _ On more than one occasion Mr. A. F. Brigham, General Manager of the Hollinger Consolidated, has expressed his belief that there are ‘‘other Hollingers‘‘ in othis North Land, and the Hollinger is evidently willing to do what it can to assist in theirâ€" discovery and _ development. When asked this week about the West Shiningtree case, Mr. Brigham said the property was simply being tested out as to what its possibilities might be. **‘The Hollinger is going to put part of its surplus into the developâ€" ment of North Land properties, but you may rest assured that there will not be a cent for any wildeats,""‘ he added. 3 Reason for This Action Not Publicly Known, But Thought it Maybe Pressure from Ontario Government.

HOLLINGER T0 TEST WEST SHININGTREE PROPERTY =~â€"Last week the Pembroke «Observer made the following reference to the death of Mrs. John Hollinger, mother of the late Ben. Hollinger, who staked the now famous Hollinger claims now a part of the property of the Hollinâ€" ger Consolidated Gold Mines:â€"â€" ‘After an illness of about a month death came peacefully yesterday to an aged Pembroke Jady, Mrs, Jolin Hollinger, at the home of her son, Mr. Anthony Hollinger, Mary street. Mrs. Hollinger‘s illness was ‘brought about by the infirmities of age and her death was expected. She had reached the age of seventyâ€"four years and was born in Cormwall, her maiden name being Sarah E. Sutherland.. Her marâ€" riage to the late Jolhn Hollinger, whose death occurred in Pembroke in 1912, took place at Ogdensburg about fortyâ€"five years ago. A few years later they came to Pembroke, residing here for about four years, and then. they moved to Point Alexander, where they lived until they returned to Pemâ€" broke someâ€" twelve years ago. One* son, the late Ben. Hollinger, discover-{i er of the famous Hollinger mine, died‘ two years ago, and three sons and two daughters survive as follows: C}ga"les,l CP.R. ceonductor, Sehrieber; â€"John CP.R. ceonductor, Sehrieber; John and Mrs. W. E. Richardson, Haileyâ€" bury; Anthony of Pembroke, and Mrs. W. E. Hill, of Lynn, Mass. The funeral will take place from her son‘s residence foâ€"morrow (Friâ€" day) morning at 845 to St. Columba‘s Cathedral and the R. C. cemetery. DEATH OF MOTHER OF THE LATE BENJ. HOLLINGER Mrs. Carrie E. Watson, Assembly President of the Rebekahs, from St. Thomas, Ont., paid her official visit to Timmins Lodge on Thursday last, Oct. 27th, when Kitchener Lodge of South Porcupine and (Gold Nugget of Timâ€" mins held a joint meeting for her insâ€" pection. The degree was conferred on a class of four candidates by Gold Nugoet lodge, after which the Presidâ€" ent gave an inspiring and instructive address on the work and duties of members. ‘This . was followed by speeches from D. D. Pres. Sister Wilâ€" son, also Past (Presidents (Mr. H. Boyle, Mrs. P. Smith and W. Skelly and many other members of the Orâ€" der. Sister Wilson, D. President, then made a presentation to Mrs. Watson on behalf of Kitchenér and Gold Nazâ€" get Lodges, to which the President made suitable response. Immediately after lodge closed the members numâ€" bering over 70, sat down to a luncheon of salad, sandwiches, cake, tea and coffee. ‘The President was well pleasâ€" ed with the work done in the lodges, and declared ‘her reception one of the most pleasant and sociable she had reâ€" ceived. On the following morning, Mr. R. Richardson kindly motored the President to South Poreupine, the Dome and around Timmins on a sightâ€" seeing tour which she very greatly apâ€" preéciated.

Opportunity Again Offered in Timâ€" mins for Improvement to Education. EVENING CLASSES START TUESDAY, NOVEMBER oth Then came a meeting at the Empire Theatre, presided over by Mayor Ivy. At this meeting the Premier was preâ€" sented with a ‘silver spade as a souâ€" venir of the occasion. Mayor Ferguâ€" son of North Bay, Chairman Lee, and Commissioners (Martin and Melaren, and President Alderson of the Toronâ€" to Board of Trade, made brief addâ€" resses. Mr. Otto Thorning, editor of The Northland (Post, was also very properly honored for his unceasing and effective publicity work for the extension project. He was presented with a silver shield and an appropriâ€" ate address. Then following Premier Drury, who, having tried the matter out on Iroquois Falls the evening beâ€" fore and gotten away ‘with it because the‘: Falls people are famed for their kindness to visitors, Jaunched into a diatribe against secession talk which he and his Government by their neâ€" glect have done so much to increase and foster. The Premier said that the North Land could go, he supposed, if she desired, but if she left Old Onâ€" tario, she would go as a ‘‘more or less: helpless girl.‘‘ On the side it may be. remarked it would be better thus than. to go later as a ‘"‘penniless old wu-l man,‘‘ and with the filching ofâ€" teâ€" sources and liberty that is what faces the North Land if the present ways continue. The Premier quoted figures which he asserted showed the revenue from and the expenditures for the North Land. The following are the figures as credited to Mr. Drury, "Game and Fisheries supplied $524,â€" 600 and $301,000 was spent. In the Attorney General‘s Departmentâ€"from fines mostly, O.T.A., the revenue was] #169,000, and the expenditure on adâ€" ministration »of justice was $352,000. From the Mines there was $1,000,000 revenue, of which one tenth was spent. On Friday last thirteen cars from North Bay and five from Timmins and Troquois Falls carried to Cochrane the crowds for the big day. The Mayâ€" ors and the Presidents of the Boards of Trade of all the neighhoring towns were specially invited to Cochrane for the day. Other special guests included Mr,. R. A. Melnnis, President of ‘the Associated Boards of Trade; Mr. Geo. W. Lee, Chairman of the T. & N. 0. Commission; Commissioners ([Martin and MceLaren of the T. & N.00.; the President of the Toronto Board of Trade; and Hon. E.C. Drury, Premier of the Province of Ontario. Upon arrival in Cochrane the speâ€" cial guests were welcomed ‘by the Board of Trade in a pleasant banquet event, at which a number of stirring speeches were made extolling the North Land. ‘One Cochrane speaker stated that the hub and metropolis of Northern Ontario had now moved to Cochrane. A North Bay speaker reâ€" ferred to North Bay as the Toronto of the North Land. Mayor John Fergnâ€" son, North Bay, suggested ©‘From Bay to Bay‘" as a slogan instead of ‘‘On to the Bay.‘‘ (Other speakers at the luncheon included:â€"Mayors W. A. Taylor, of New Liskeard, N. J. Mc Aulay, of Haileybury, Dr. J. A. Melnâ€" nis, of Timmins, and John Vanier of Troquois Falls; R. A. MelInnis, Presiâ€" dent of the Northern On‘tario Associat ed Boards of Trade, Angus MeDonald, Member. of Federal House for Temisâ€" kaming, Mac Lang, Member for Coâ€" chrane in the Provincial House, Dr. J. B,. MeDougali, and Geo, W. Lee, Chairman of the Commission, and Preâ€" mier Drurv. After the luncheon, in the presence of over 3000 people, after introducâ€" tory remarks by Mr. Arthur Stevens, President of iCochrane Board of Trade, Premier Drury formally turnâ€" ed the firstâ€"sod on the proposed exâ€" tension to Oil Can. The formality of turning the first sod on the proposed T. & N. 0. extenâ€" sion to Oil Can Portage, some 70 miles north of Cochrane, took place on Friâ€" dayâ€"of last week at Cochrane. It was a great day for Cochrane, there being about 2000 visitors there for the occaâ€" sion. Most of these wvisitors no doubt were attracted by the cheap rates on the railway for the oceasion, the reâ€" turn fare being only one cent. per mile. This was just fine. Butâ€"â€". Well, when the T. & N. 0. is asked to give special reduced rates for other big events in the North Land, such as hockey matches, etc., the invariable reply is to the effect thait the Canadiâ€" an iPassenger Association will not alâ€" low such things. It is fine that the Canadian Passenger Association does actually allow the railway to do as it likes every itime the Premier turns a sod with a silver trowel.

He asked the coâ€"operation of the settlers and the large industries in the preâ€" servation of the forests, He thought the T. & N. 0. a sound business proâ€" position. The railroad would open up darge agricultural areas and large wood pulp areas, and there was the prospectt of the development of valuâ€" able mineral properties. He saw room for two, perhaps, three, pulp mills, with absolutely certain agricultural prosperity and a possible large develâ€" opment of mining. He made referâ€" ence to the possibility of a hundred thousand people between Cobalt and Cochrane and the possible benefits of Country Organization at least for the territory along the railway. During the celebration,‘‘ Chairâ€" man Lee and the T. & N. 0. Commisâ€" gioners came in for deserved comâ€" mendation from many quarters. Iroquois Falls Band delighted the people at Cochrane with the good muâ€" sic furnished during the day. Alnere were a ilarge numbe Timmins and district at Coch Friday and all speak highly in the hospitality and enterprise Cochrane people. The Lands and Forests provided a revenue of $2,650,000 and there had been spent on fire protection and other matters in connection with these natural resources, $2,794,000. Educaâ€" tion had cost $735,000, dams and bridges $403,000. Agriculture had provided a revenue of $9000 and there had been expended $110,000. The toâ€" tal revenue from all sources in New Ontario for 1920 was§$4,642,000, and the expenditure for the same year had been $5,624,000. These figures, he said, were prepared from the official reâ€" cords for 1920, and the dividing line adopted between ‘Old and New Onâ€" tario was the French River,"‘ It will be noted, again be it said on the side, that the figures credited thus to Premier Drury as being the figures for expenditure, when totalled reach less than the total he gives by about a million dollars, but what‘s a million between friends. Also it will be noted that the figures in some cases are apâ€" parently misleading and in ~other cases, well, worse. But, no doubt, if faced with the report Mr. Drury can say that the ‘‘wind‘‘ twisted what he wanted to say, just like another of the Farmer politicians, (Hicks, wasn‘t it?" excused himself when he was creâ€" dited with suggesting wholesale bribeâ€" ry in the Legislature.) If the Premier, however, permits the figures to stand as quoted, explanations will ‘be in orâ€" der all right. The Hollinger management believes in a policy of progress and developâ€" ment and in the highest efficiencey. The mine is ready, even anxious, to exâ€" pand. The jpresent tonnage can be slightly increased without material changes in equipment, but for the exâ€" pansion that is desired, enlargement of the mill will be required, and beâ€" fore this can be undertaken assurance of a full supply of power for the inâ€" creased needs would be absolutely esâ€" sential. ‘The Hollinger has in mind a material enlargement of the mill gso that lower grade ore may be efficiently dealt with and the last ounce of gold retrieved from the ore. For this a full and adequate and continuous supply of power is absolutely essential. It was because of this that the Hollinger asked the Government for the water power lease at the Long Sault. Grantâ€" ed such water power rights, the Hoiâ€" linger would develop its own power for its own increased needs, and reâ€" markable expansion of the gold indusâ€" try, very largely increasea employâ€" ment, & noteworthy benefit to all the North Land in particular and the Proâ€" vince in general would be the result. If the Goverment is interested in the development of the North Land‘s greatest industry, it should consider and reâ€"consider the power question until a method is found to leave the Hollinger to proceed with its proâ€" gramme of growth and expansion, _ ;g The big Hollinger Mine continues its steady and remarkable production. Official figures show the average daily production for the 20â€"day period endâ€" ing October 28th to have been 3858 tons. For the last week of the period the production totalled 27,004 tons. From these official figures it will be seen that the total production for the 28 days runs over 198,000 tons of ore milled.
