The delegaâ€" tiun is further enmnpowered to ask for a roadway through W hitesides Townâ€" ship for the use of the mines and setâ€" tlers there. Another question that will likely be urged upon the Premier is the matter if a Division Court for Timmins. Correspondence in this matter has heen carried on by the Board of Trade for several years, without action reâ€" sulting. It is admitted that the Diâ€" vision Court business originating in Timmins is sufficient to warrant the Division Court centered here. _ The fart that for months without variation all the sessions of the Division Court were held in Timmins suggests the conditions prevailing. At one time the office of the Division ‘Court was ordered moved to Timmins, but for some reason or another this order was reseinded or at least no action taken. Counting Schumacher, Moneta, Matâ€" tagami, etc., Timmins may be said to have a population of about 8,000, and there is not known to (be any other centre in Ontario of any similar size that has not a Division Court of its own. The latest communications from the authorities in the matter suggestâ€" ed that there was a possibility of deâ€" velopments in the east of the Poreuâ€" pine that might mean more business for the Division Court from that diree tion. Nothing, however, is known losally regarding any such possibility, but in any case the attitude of Timâ€" mins is that this town is the natural and acknowledged centre of a section with enough business to warrant the establishment of a Divisiqgn Court here. The delegates to Toronto havel all the correspondence on the question and will press for a decided and posil | | 4 1 tive answer one way or another. ‘This position, indeed, will be taken on all the matters to ‘be discussed with the Premier. Timmins wants to know just where it is at and what it can really expect. Last week was special sale week in Timmins and this week is even more so.

Chief among these is the question of the building of a branch ol the T. N.0. to connect Timmins with the C.N.R. near Sudbury. Beâ€" fore the war the Canadian Northern planned to build this line.

An alarm of fire awvas sent over the telephone Monday morning about 9.15 and the usual ready response was made by the Department. The alarm was sent in on account of a chimney fire at the residence of Mr. D. Mackie, 20 Tamarack street. All danger was promptly prevented, and the ‘blaze stopped without any damage of any kind being done. The fire did not ring; indeed, neighlbors on the street were unaware of any possibility of danger from fire until they noticed the fire wagon stopping on the street. ,It is the ot policy to take no chances even on a chimney fire.

N. 0. makes no difference in its‘ rates, either for pasenger or freight service. You pay your money and you take your choice. Of course, the cause of the long delay in the train service was due to a wreck. This time the wreck was at Mulock, nineâ€" teen miles north of North Bay. The T. N. 0. has shown that it can have a real wreck nearly any place on its line if necessary to explain delayed service. The wreck at Mulock was a typical T. N.0. wreck. Not a soul was injured physically, though pracâ€" tically all the passengers were very sore over the delay. One man had his vocabulary crippled by an attempt to say just what he thought. The Mulock wreck was caused by the engine of a northâ€"bound freight jumping the track. The engine in turn blamed the wreck on a ibroken rail, and the brokâ€" en rail said that no rails could stay straight and true on a road conductâ€" ed by a (Government that couldn‘t make up its mind to appoint a commis sion after twelve months‘ of **serious ed by a (Government that couldn‘t make up its mind to appoint a commis sion after twelve months‘ of **serious consideration.‘‘ Traffic on the main line was completely disorganized on Friday by.the accident.

On Saturday last the rink was flood ed for the first time this season and the making of the first sheet of ice is now under way. â€" With favorable weather it~is expected that the ice will be ready for skaters next week. Skatinz has already been enjoyed to a certain extent. on some of the outdoor rinks, smaller lakes and ponds being froozen over last week. Skaters and hockey players, however, are anxiousâ€" ly looking forward to the opening of the Timmins Rink where skating may be enjoyed in comfort. It is the inâ€" tention this year to make several imâ€" provements and additions to the Rink. Reâ€"arrangement of the dressing rooms with the addition of*shower ‘baths, ete., are among the alterations planâ€" ned. The purpose is to make the Tim mins Rink the best in the North in every way.

ICBH The Baby Clinies held in the Goldâ€" fields Annex last week proved very successful and helpful. A further Clinie was held yesterday afternoon. All the Clinics were well attended and mothers found them very helpful and useful. Valuable advice and assistâ€" ince were given in regard to the health and care of the children. The clinies were conducted by the Provinâ€" cial nurses now here, with local doeâ€" tors in attendance. It is understood that Hon. H. Mills, Minister of Mines, has about decided to withdraw the order cancelling min ing claims for arrears in taxes on the properties. At any rate he has the matter now under his very serious consideratien. The order cancelling the claims raised a considerable storm of protest, though many of those proâ€" testing did not have muchâ€" actual grounds for complaint. Some of them could not blame the loss or inconveniâ€" nee anywhere but on their own negâ€" leet. There were many however, to whom the order came as a distinet hardship. They had received no noâ€" tice resarding the matter and so had no opportunity to set the matter right before the claims were cancelled. This has ‘been represented to Hon. Mr. Mills. There were awhout 1900 claims cancelled ‘by the order, about four hundred of these being in the North Land among the gold and silver proâ€" perties. The chief sufferérs in this part of the North Land seemed to be those living in the U.S.A. Their place of residence naturally placed them under a handicap in regard to learnâ€" ing the law or receiving notice of the proposed action.

The executive of the Caledonian Society of Timmins met in the Counâ€" cil Chamber last Friday evening.

As will be noted by the official announcement _ elsewhere _ Hollinger directors have declared a dividend of one per cent. payable December 1st to shareholders of record Nov. 17th. So far this year the Hollinger has paid seven dividends of one per cent. With the one payalble on December !st and the probability of a final one for the year ‘before the end of Decemâ€" ber, Hollinger is likely to pay a total of nine per cent. in dividends this year. If no further dividend is paid this year after Dec. 1st. the total for the year will be 8 per cent. In 1919 the Hollinger paid $1,722,000 in dividâ€" ends. ‘Counting the December dividâ€" end this year‘s total will be $1,068,000 If a dividend is paid at the end of Deâ€" cember the total will be still larger, or $2,214,000 to ‘be exact. The Holâ€" ‘inger has been handicapped by the drawbacks and difficulties encounterâ€" od in recent years lby the gold indust ry generally, but the management has kept the mine running all the time, altough several other mines fount it necessary to close, and after building up a very satisfactory surplus the dividend record must also be considerâ€" ed a very creditable one, in view of conditions and cireumstances generalâ€" ly. With the December dividend, the total disbursement to shareholders will be $13,114,000. ANOTEER HOLLINGER DIVIDEND DECLARED.

It has ‘been pointed out reâ€" peatedly that the major part of the ecustoms business in the Camp is done by Timmins, yet people here have had to ~deal with theT customs office at South Poreupine for the release of everything coming through the cusâ€" ams. This has meant loss of time and loss of patience, not to mention inconâ€" venience and expense, but appeals for action to change this met with pracâ€" tiecally no response until last week. Last week the president of the Timâ€" mins Board of Trade Mr. D. Ostrosser was notified that henceforth Timmins Office would ‘be a subâ€"oflice for customs. This will mean a decided convenience to the people in so far as natter coming through the mails is concerned. For mail matter the Timâ€" mins Post Office will now serve as a customs office. So far so good.
