Mrs. Gauthier, of Verner, is visiting her son, Mr. F. Gauthier and her daughter, Mrs. T. J. Edwards. For Armistice Night, Nov. 11th the G.W.V.A. are planning a Dance All lovers of daneing and an allâ€"round good social time should bear the date in mind, for the G. W. V. A. have a wellâ€"deserved reputation for successâ€" ful events of this kind. Winnipeg people ‘have been boastâ€" ing of picking ripe homeâ€"grown straw berries in September, and Mrs. W. Russell of the Pas. Manitoba, a week ago or so reported that she had been picking ripe raspberries up to the beginning of this month. Winnipeg is on the 49th latitude and the Pas. on the 54th. At the official nominations here on Monday, the following were the canâ€" didates nominated for this riding:â€"â€" R.S.

INTERESTING FACTS RE ' AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC. The Ontario Motor League on September 28th took a census of traffic on three main highways raâ€" diating from Toronto,â€"the Torontoâ€" Hamilton Highway, Yonge street, and the Kingston Road. From this cenâ€" sus some interesting and unexpected facts may be gleaned. he census covered the ten hours between nine in the morning to seven in the evenâ€" ing, which would catch approximately seventyâ€"five per cent. of the velhicles passing over the roads on the day in question. Out of ithe 8,234 vehicles that were actually checked only 47 were drawn by horses. That means that less than one per cent. of the traffic was operated by horses. Motor traffic certainly held the day. Of the 8,187 motor vehicles, only ©52 were ccars owned outside the Province, thus disproving the suggestion that Yankee motorists monopolize the highways of the south,. Another interesting fact deduced was that traffic was heaviest between 11 and 12 a. m. and 4 and 5 p. m. on all three roads. Of the 8,187 motor vehicles, 15 per cent., or 542 were motor ecycles. SUCCESSFUL MEETING IN INTERESTS OF MAC LANG The Empire Theatre was crowded Monday night for the meeting in the interests of Mr. Mac Lang, the Libâ€" eral candidate. Dr. Melnnis ocenuâ€" pied the chair, and the speakers were Major Mace Lang, Mr. Milton Carr and Mr. A. G. Slaght. ,In a speech of over an hour the Liberal candidate presented lris case. He said that when he volunteered for servics overâ€" seas, Premier Hearst had commended him and promised that the riding would be specially looked after in his absence. If all posstble had not been done for the riding in the past four years, Mr. Lang said, it was accordâ€" ingly Premier Hearst‘s fault. _ He criticized the educational and roadâ€" making policies of the Government, saying that 40 per cont. of ‘the setâ€" tlers around Matheson five years ago had left owing to poor educational facilities for their children. He also dwelt at length upon the returned soldier question especialâ€" ly the Dominion Government. Mr. Lang had high praise for the perâ€" sonal character of his two opponents, but he suggested that the ‘Labor man might do harm by splitting the vote and he inferred that Mr. Potter had been made the candidate at Hon. Howard Ferguson‘s desire in a Conâ€" vention l«argelv composed of Govâ€" ernment employees. Mr. Milton Carr delighted the audience with his humâ€" orous address, chiefly concerned with the High Cost of Living for which cost he seemed to blame the Attorney General of Ontario. Mr. A. G. Slaght in an able and eloquent adâ€" dress dwelt on the mining and liquor policies of the Ontario Goverrment. He wanted a more aggressive mining policy, miners‘ licenses reduced from $5 to $1, and less red tape and cost in claim recording. He sceored the Hearst Government on the liquor question, retailing an account of the recent investigation in which Inspecâ€" tor Geo. Morrisonâ€" was concerned. Mr. Slaght also spoke on Kapuskasâ€" ing. In closing the imeetmng Dr. Meâ€" Innis made the first clear and frank statement yet cheard on a political | platform here in this election regardâ€" jing the liquor question. *‘‘I believe lin temperance,‘‘ he said, ‘‘but not in prohibition that can‘t be carried out."" Dr. Melnnis also said that the Ontario Government had made many promises to this district, but had not carried them out: Selections by the Txmmms Citizens‘ Band added much ‘to the interest . and pleasure of the- | evening. ’ | Timmins News in Brief Mr. and Mrs. J. 6.
