Ahne Concert given during evel ing was an excellent one. â€" Before t meeting â€" commeneed â€" the Timmu Citizens‘ Band gave a number of s lections in front of the theatre an their good playing drew a big erow to the doors. The programme tor t| evening alsoo included a numlh of _ wellâ€"rendered _ selections by t Timmins Citizens‘ Band and eve such selection received â€" very heart and wellâ€"merited applause. The goo work of the Timmins Citizens‘ Ban drew forth many sincere complimen for this new musical â€" organizatioi its leader and members. Miss Ho: garth delighted the audience with pleasing solo in which her sweetâ€"tor od was heard to advantage an the@pplause was sincere and unstin ed. ‘Mr. Jas.

The atâ€" #{lmms was good, but the theatre would no doubt have been filled had there been time and opportunity for more publicity regarding the event. ‘The collection taken up, however, toâ€" talled $55.00, this being an auspicious opening for the League‘s present eampaign. The Timmins branch of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire looked after the taking up of the collection and made a speedy and thorough solicitation of those present, with the gratifying total of $55.00. Dr. J. A. Mcelnnis, Mavor of Timâ€" weeck. Lhe i0¢cAl â€"Dranclhl < of â€"Tthe Daughters ~of the Empire had very kindly â€" volunteered to conduct the canvass, and the Mayor asked for the kindest reception and the most hearty response to the young lady eanvassers for ‘this good cause. All who gave more than $2.00 to the Nelson Day Campaign will be made members of the Navy League. There will likely be a house to house eanvass, and on Friday and Saturday of this week there will be Tag Days in charge of the Timmins branch of the 1. 0. D. E. The amount expected to be raisoed in Canada in this Navy League campaign is £500,000.00, and the Mayor thought that $2,000.00 would not be too muech to ask at this time from tins district He asked ali to do all possible to enâ€" able the lady canvassers to roll up Ks amount or more and also to give > Poreupine Branch a large member NAVY LEAGUE CAMPAIGN DPENED WITH GONGERT May Be Another Concert on Sunday Evening Next under Same Auspices. mins, and President of the Admiral Beresford (Poreupine) Branch of the Navy League, occupied the chair, and in a brief but effective address exâ€" plained the purpose of the inceting and the aims and objects of the Navy League of Canada. He quoted from a letter recently received from the President for Canada of the Navy League in which the objects of the League were briefly deseribed as beâ€" ing threeâ€"fold:â€"education, relief and the training of boys for the navy and merchant â€" marine services. In the line of education, at was hoped to arouse interest and realization among the Canadian people as to the absolute necessity for a strong navy for the defence of the trade ‘of the Empire and also of a sufficient supply of vesâ€" sels for the transportation of the trade and commeree of Great Britain, her dominons and dependencies, as well as an adequate supply of trained amen to man the slups of both services. Reference was made to the wellâ€" known fact that during the war it was the Navy that had been so wonderful a factor in making victory possithle, and occasion was also taken to point out that in these days of peace it will be equally necessary for reasons of trade and commerce to maintain ‘the Navy and the Merchant Marine at the highest point of efficieney. Mention was also made by Dr. Melnnis to the widows and orphans of the sailors. The Navy League also maintained Institutes at certain ports in Canada where sailors could make their homes when in these ports. The work of the Navy League in training young men ‘for work on the sea and giving them a love and knowledge of sea life was also touched upon. To support the branches af the work referred to, it was necessary to seceure ~funds. Mence the Nelson Day Campaign. In Timmins the canvass was to start this week.

Tar aSs the story is known the four men clung to the ceanoe for a time and attempted to reach the shore, but later apparentâ€" ly Messrs. Brooks and Shields became so exhausted that they let go of the canoe and were engulfed in the cold waters. _A man cuttingy wood near the shore heard the calls of the men and went to their assistance. He was able to help Wilson and Bergon to safety where he built a fire for their comfort and went away to secure help. The two men were said to be so exhausted that during his absence they were unable to move away from the fire when it gained headway and ‘before they recovered their strength their feet were seorched by the heat of the burning wood. In the meanime there was no sign of either Brooks or Shields and up to the time of writing there has heen no word of the recovery of the bodies, â€" though anxious search is being made. A brother of Perey Nhmelds went down last week from this Camp to assist in the search. The late Harry Brooks was a prosâ€" pector who was very highly estcemed by all in the district. **A square, straight man,‘‘ is the general opimion of him and he was popular with all who knew him, because of his qmiet but always even and friendly disposiâ€" tion. â€" He lived at Schumaecher, where a Widow and four children survive, and to these the sincere sympathy of all is extended at this time. Harry Brooks was one of the Poreupine‘s old timers in the prospecting game, and he has many claims throughout the district. He was one of the poâ€" pular competitors in recent dog team races here, winning third place in the 1919 Dog Team Race with his team of tested dogs. His many <«friends found it hard to realize that Harry Brooks should meet death in the way he did, as he was so experienced and expert in all the ways of outdoor life and the trail on land and water. The weather and the coldness of the water, however, would no doubt give the explanation for the tragedy that Harry Brooks, a Respected Oldâ€"Timer of the Porcupine, and Percy Shields, Returned Soldier. ot of tested dogs.

A good grade of milling ore is said to have been encountered An analysis of the Labour situaâ€" tion in the Province of Ontario recentâ€" ly made from the reports of the Trades Labour Branch shows that the number of men applying to the bureaux for work is slighlty larger than the number of vacancies for men reported. During the week ending Oct. 1l1th 2519 men registered with the hureaux and 2,465 orders for men were received. The number of men actually placed was 1906. By far the bigvzest demand was for general laborâ€" ers, and the supply in this line was not much more than half the demand. Classes of work for which there were more than openings include commerâ€" cial occeupations for which 197 men applied during the one week. On ‘the other hand, in the bulding and metal trade there were more orâ€" ders than men. In the Women‘s Deâ€" partment, the largest demand was for household workers, only a small perâ€" centage of whom ean be secured. Of 213 orders received in one week, only 66 could be filled.

There was much diseusâ€" sion of various points but the deciâ€" sions of the meeting may be briefly summed up as follows:â€"There is to be a local league, the teams being Timmins, â€" Hollinger and MeIntyre. A list of the players was submitted to Secretary W. M. Widdifield. The residGence rule is for November lst and all players must be here by that time. The boundaries of the league are from the Rea Hill to the Mattaâ€" vami, and no players are to come trom outside those limits.

On â€" Wednesday morning of â€" last week the remains of the late Mrs. K. M. Wynne were laid to rest in the R. C. Cemetery at Timmins, after funeral services at the church here. The many friends attending the last sad rites evidenced the. esteem in which the late Mrs. Wynne was held and the sincere sympathy felt for the husâ€" band in his sudden bereavement. The late Mrs. Wynne seemed to be in the best of health until a couple of days before her death. On the Saturday she was taken seriously ill, and on Monday she passed away. ‘The late Mrs. Wynne was Wicklow Ireland, where all her people still reside, with the exception of one brother living now at Iroquois Falls. She came to Canada six years ago, and in September, 1917, she was and in weptember, 1917, she was married to Mr. R. M.

There had been several proâ€" posals for the disposition of the money, the most acceptable possibly being that the money should be used for needed hospital purposes. It was generally considered that it would be foolish to tie the money up in a perâ€" manent fire relief fund. From the 1916 Fire Helief Fund there had been a balance of $75,000.00 now standing as m Permanent Fire Relief Fund, and this was considered more than ample, as it was generally hoped and believed that there would be no more disastrous forest fires in this district. Dr. Melnnis further explained that at the request of the other municipaliâ€" ties ‘he had attended a conference on the matter the previous week with Tisdale and Whitney Townships. At this conference the question had been discussed in all its bearings. It was evident that the trustees holding the funds would not allow the money to be split up between the various muniâ€" cipalities. The money would have to be used for hospital purposes, or it would likely revert to the Fire Relief Fund, where it would lie useless so far as these municipalities were conâ€" cerned. There was some suggestion C101 Suggestion of Mayor Regarding Final Disposition of $9,000 Now in Hands of Court. UU, and the remaming »$39,000,00U was left for the municipalities of the Porâ€" cupine. There had been several proâ€" posals for the disposition of the money, the most acceptable possibly being that the money should be used for needed hospital purposes. It was generally considered that it would be ioolhh to tie the money up in a perâ€" manent fire reluief fund. From the sent Tisdale and Whitney Justice Middlessex and th (Gieneral (these two being of the fund with power t final disposition on Nov. don the â€" completion stallation ol the money would be to use it to enâ€" dow a ward in the Hollinger Hospital for indigent patiem the distriet. He felt sure that there was ample acâ€" commodation in the new Hospital for the district and that the Hollinger would be generous and helpful in the matter. The $9000 endowment would provide for a number of patients from the various municipalities. EKâ€" ventually after some â€" diseussion, it was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the Mayor and the Soliâ€" citor, with the recommendation that the $9,000 he seeured if possible for the endowment of a ward for indigent patients of the municipalities, if the Hollinger would agree to such a proâ€" posal.

Another important of building a small hospital at South Poreupine for the general use of the Camp, but $9,000 would go but a small way for such a purpose and afterâ€" wards there would be the problem of the cost of maintenance. Again there was the fine hig new Hollinger Hosâ€" pital to be considGered, and Dr. Melnâ€" mis thought that the best disposition of the money would be to use it to enâ€" dow a ward in the Hollinger Hospital for indigent pat‘em the â€" distriect. ol RELIEF MONEY TD ENDOW HOSPITAL WARD matter felt Ti aving Single Copies 5 Cents 111 numilns was very o a contractor like ew others, under t OS lessex and the Attorneyâ€" se two being the trustees with power to see to its tion on Nov. 3rd), and ves he will know the atâ€" mnmins in the matter. nicipalities in agreement M » ~was some suggestion small hospital at South or situ 000 00 ition oft tue Coun: ivor MeJnnis said ‘lpalilies in agreement the $9,000 will be final ccording to their preâ€" k uld not e â€"cond some â€" diseussion, it leave the matter in ~Mayor and the Soliâ€" recommendation that cured if possible for T a ward for indigent municipalities, if the agree to such a proâ€" M nNail Deen allt .
