Rev. Capt. Boal opened his address by a ‘brief passing reference to the eause of the recent war. â€" Great Britâ€" he pointed out, entered the Great War to maintain the honor of her word.â€" Her word was pledged to Belâ€" guim by the treaty of 1839, and this was the bond of honor that first ‘brought the Empire into the War The war had been fought to a successâ€" ful issue, ‘but there still remained some things yet to be done to assure the truest type of victory. One of these things, Rev. Capt. Boal thouâ€" sht, would be the bringing of the Kaiâ€" ser to trial as the common _ ceriminal that he was.. The speaker referred to the suggestion now made by some that the war.being over unpleasant should be forgotten. He could not, however, sgree with any such plea to save the Kaiser‘s carâ€" cass. â€" He, vividly pictured the thorâ€" rors on land and sea for which the Kaiser was directly or indirectly reéâ€" sponsible, and he asked the duestion, cillor A. Brazeau, Acting Mayor, ocâ€" eupied . the chair. In opening the meeting Mr. Brazeau explained that Revyâ€" Capt. Boal had persuaded him that in the absence of the Mayor, he as Acting Mayor should fulfil the duâ€" ties of chairman for the evening and so he was there to perrorm these duâ€" ties to the best of his ability, though unaceustomed to such duties. In a few but wellâ€"chosen words the Acting Mayor then introduced the programâ€" mme for the evening, first calling on Mrs., J. A. Therriault for a solo. Mrs. Therriault‘s solo nmade an ausâ€" picious opening for the evening‘s proâ€" vramme, the audience being delighted with her solo,her voice and her gifted rendition of the selection. Mr. H. M, Martin played the accompaniment in his usual talented way, after hayâ€" ing previously pleased the audience by a number of patriotic selections on the piano before the meeting proper becran . the parades, etc., all advertised the soldiers. But the sailors in peace and war alike were truly the ‘*silent seyâ€" vice."‘* They should never be forgotâ€" ten, however, nor should their widows or childgen ever be allowed to fall inâ€" to paupz:;' graves. â€" The great objsct of the Navy League was to provide for the widows and the orphans of the sailors. ‘*The Government makes no provision for the widows and the orâ€" phans of the sailors of the merchant rine,"‘ said Mr. Boal. **Why does t the Government do it Mr. Boal then asked and he answered his own quvstmn by the words, ‘*‘The Governâ€" ment will never do anything until the people educate the Government to do it. Just as soon as the people show the Government that they are behind it in the matter and in dead earnest about it the Government will begin to would furnis both sides h: homes .

The funds of the Poreupine Pat â€" riotic Club were early this year plac ed in the charge of three trustees,â€" Messrs J; <P. â€" Mebanghlin,â€" J. P . Taillon and K. On Saturday Mr. Taillon explained that while he would be pleased to see the money go to the Memorial Club House funds ‘he felt that first the trustees must ‘be properly relieved of the obâ€" ligation they had under the trust. He pointed out tirat it ‘had been unâ€" derstood that eertain bonuses should go to the Red Cross Societies of the Cammp, but if the Red Cross Societies were ready to forego these and if it were the wish of the Poreupine Conâ€" solidated Patriotic Club subseribers that the money should go to the Club House fund, he was ready to sign it over as soon as the necessary resoluâ€" tion was passed by a meeting of the subscribers. â€" explained that he was not *‘ taking sides""‘ regarding the disposal of the funds, but felt that as mne of the trustees he had to be relievâ€" ed properly of his trust. Mr. Taillon thought that it would be better to call another â€" meeting, and that for this mecting so far as possible the subscribers to the Fund should ‘be notified by posteard or in other perâ€" sonal way, so that there would be no excuse for nonâ€"attendance. Some present suggested that it might be well to wait until Dr. Melnnis amd Mrs. Mcelnnis could he present, as Mrs. McInnis is the President of the Red Cross and a very active worker in Patriotice Causes, and Dr. Melunms, as well as being at present the Mayor of Timmins, always took a leading part and interest in all Patriotie work lere.â€" In reply it was pointed out that it was practically impossible to fix dates that would not find some abâ€" sent from town, some of those present on Saturday expecting to leave shortâ€" ly ‘for holiday trips. _ Eventually it was decided to call the meeting next Monday, Aug. 25, at 4.30 p. m., in the Council Chambers, Timmins. As many as practical of the subseribers will be notified hy posteard, there will be slides announcing the meeting put on at the Theatre, as well as the newsâ€" paper publicity and other means of advertising the date. It is to be hopâ€" ed that fhere will be a representative and largeiy attended meeting on Monâ€" day afternoon, so that the question \ the disposal of the funds may be tinally and agreeably decided . nand . .

From these figâ€" ures it will be noted that the showing for 1919 compares quite favorably with 1918. At the time of the issuing of the reâ€" port a total of 1,344 miners are being employed and these figures also show that the mine is making good progress and gradually bringing up its staff to the right kind of a working basis. General charges per ton of ore millâ€" ed totalled $1.42 for the period from January lIst to June l7th this year. In the three months ending March 25th these charkes were $1.47. . For 1918 they amounted to $1.51 per ton. Mining charges per ton of ore milled were‘ $3.23 against $3.24â€" in 1918 The total mining and milling ‘eosts for the period are $4.94 per ton ; for 1918 they were $4.93. During the period to June 17th this year the mill ran 69 per cent of posâ€" sible running time. ‘The mill treated 316,38G6 tons of ore during this peâ€" riod.â€" The average grade of ore treatâ€" ed was $9.93.

One of the biggest problems of the Holâ€" linger has been the labor supply. Mr. Brigham, the General Manager, has tackled this problem in a big way. He has shown that it is the intention to assure the comfort and wellâ€"being of the men in every way, and his efâ€" forts have won â€" general confidence This is resulting in a better supply ‘of labor and a supply of better labor, and the prospects for the mine are accordingly improved fto this extent and will continue to improve still more as the purpose and earnestness MARSHALLâ€"ECCLESTONE ADVT.

He had a revolver clasped in ‘his hands, and they judged from his position, ete., that ‘he had placed the revolver in his mouth and The late Charles Morton Penny was an Englishman who had been out in this country for several years. He lived for a time at Cobalt and for some years past has been a resident of Golden City where he had a small Complaint is again made by settlers and others recgarding the blocking of traffic on the river by booms of logs and ties. The trouble seems to be that to save the added inconvenience or expense of a number of smaller booms, some firms persist in making booms that practically take up the whole width of the rivey and stop all other traffic. This practice certainly causes loss and inconvenience to the settlers and is not likely to be patiâ€" ently Jborne forever. Last week one boom so blocked the river, that one settler was unahble to get certain orâ€" ders of logs through and as a conseâ€" quence he is now taking steps to sue the owners of the boom for the damâ€" age caused by the delay due to their boom blocking the river. Such inciâ€" dents do not make for the benefit of the Jlumber industry or the settlers or the country in general, and it is much to be regretted that some of the lumâ€" ber firms do not show more consideraâ€" tion for the rights and convenience of the people in general. The present disregard of the public rights will in the end cause loss and inconvenience to lumbering operations in general in the district, as it will lead eventually to the exasperated settlers finding a method of. stopping the imposition, and this method will likely mean such restrictions as would not be insisted upon otherwise. Their account of the tragedy is that Penny, who had been feeling desponâ€" dent and dispirited lately, retivred to his room Sunday evening, fastening the door. His wife and children ocâ€" cupied another room, while the wife‘s father and mother slept in a third bedroom . About 5.30 the latter thought they heard something like a revolver shot, but at first could not believe that it was actually a shot. Then they began to investigate and made an attempt to get into Penny‘s room to see if he were all right.
