ASGOGIATED BOAROS Of TRMDE MEFT THIG WEFN Immigration and House of Industry For Temiskaming to be Among Bpecial Questions Before Annual Meeting. ing year. Mr. gquois Falls, wh cifective and a« president of t citective and advantageous service as president of the Associated Boards bhas resigned, the resignation to take ffect at the meeting this week. iMr. Melnnis put life into the work of the Associated Boards of Trade.and made an exceellent start to transforming the body into the real voice of the North Land., It would be a good thing, inâ€" deed, for the general advantage of the North Land if he could be indueed to reconsider his resignation and again take the position as head of the Assoâ€" ciated Boards. He is the ideal man for the post, having courage, wision and energy, together with unusual caâ€" pability and publieâ€"spiritedness. Unâ€" der his presidency the Associated Boards developed an outstanding useâ€" fulness and (becamesp ectally repreâ€" sentative of the North and its spirit of progress. ‘The Associated Boards of Trade include all the Boards of Trade of all the towns in this part of the North Land from North Bay to Cochrane. _ Recently Cobalt, Haileyâ€" bury, New Liskeardyâ€"Kirkland Lake and Swastika, Englehart, Chariton, Matheson, Iroquois Falls and district, Timmins, South Poreupine, Schumaeâ€" her, and Cochrane have been well reâ€" nresented at the Associated Boards of NATIONAL ‘‘5c.â€"TOâ€"$1"‘"‘ STORE TO OPEN HERE OCT. 4th mer, and Locurane nave Deen weil reâ€" presented at the Associated Boards of Trade gatherings. s j At the meeting to be ‘held on Thursday, Friday, Saturday of this week at New Liskeard, in addition to the election of officers and the disâ€" cussion of such general matters as roads, forest fire protection, agriculâ€" tural development, ete., etce., two speâ€" cial questions will ibe forward., Both the topics referred to will be introduc ed by representatives from Charlton Board of Trade. One of these topies will be a further discussion @®n Immiâ€" eration. This question was brought up at the last session at Kirkland Lake in June, but in view of the Onâ€" tario Government‘s unsympathetic atâ€" titude, Charlton wishes a further conâ€" sideration of the matter. ‘Charlton, in brief, contends that "Femiskaming ofâ€" fers as attractive a field for British immigrants as does Old Ontario, and thinks that this district should be gsrouped with the southern part of the Province in taking advantage of the British Empire Settlement â€"Aet, inâ€" stead of including Temiskaming with the newer parts of Northern Ontario. The other special topie is a proposal from Charlton Board of Trade that the Ontario Government establish a House of Industry for Temiskaming. It is expected that there will be a number of prominent speakers on agricultural topics for the annual meeting of the Associated »Boards this week, the meeting being classed as an agricultural session. For somge time past while general matters of interest have ibeen fully dealt with, meetings have been made special **mining," ‘*agricultural,"" or **forestry indusâ€" tries‘‘ meetings according to the chief interest of the centre where they might be held. Thus meetings at Timâ€" mins and Kirkland Lake and Swastiâ€" tries, and the‘session at Liskeard will be a special agricultural meeting. As Charlie keeps on saying, Timâ€" mins gets more like Nu Yawk every day. The Woolworths haven‘t openâ€" ed here yet, but nearly so. The Naâ€" tional ‘‘5e.â€"toâ€"$1"" Store is to open here in the new Bardesseno block about ‘Oct. 4th. Some years ago Timâ€" mins had a 5, 10 and 15 cent store and recently this was reâ€"opened here. The store, however, does not carry on upâ€" on the large seale of the Woolworths. The latter plan of big operations is only possible in large centres of popuâ€" lation. Now that Timmins is in the ka were special mining meetings, the meeting at Iroquois Falls dealt largeâ€" Iy with problems of the forest indusâ€" rll¢ ty cilass, the warranted id 1 | W Melnnis, of Iroâ€" given nunusually Temi the the the Suâ€" Five Valuable Cups in Competition Cash and Other Prizes.

The winner of this game will play off at an early date with the winner of the second half, for the championship of the league and the possession of the Hauulton B. Wills Co. trophy. its victory overâ€"Cochrane last week in the postponed firstâ€"half game, Timmins tied up the first half of the series with Cochrane. In view of the lateness of the season, instead of home and home games with a deciding game if necessary, it was decided to settle the matter with a sudden death game at the Falls. Hence the match tomorrow will give the winnership of the first half to either Timmins or Coâ€" chrane. The winner of this first half then will have to play Iroquois Falls, the winner of the second halt. Baseball fans from Jhere will no dowbt go down in force toâ€"morrow to the Falls and the boys here are conâ€" fident that they will win out in this important game. Then it‘s only a step more to the winning of the handsome Hamilton B. Wills Co. trophy for this vear. To be Played Between Cochrane and Timmins at Iroquois Falls Toâ€" . °_ morrow (Thursday).

New Walks and Other Questions Disâ€" cussed by Council. with the Mayor, Dr. J. A. Melnnis, in the chair, and all the ~Council,â€" Messrs. J. H. Bacon, E. L. Longmore, E. S. Noble, L. 8. Newton, J. E. Sulliâ€" van and J. E. Morin,â€"present. There was a brief discussion of the question of the Hollinger being grantâ€" ed right to use the town streets for the laying of the proposed new water main for the mine. The Mayor referâ€" red to the conference. with the Hollinâ€" ger management and looked upon the proposed agreement as favourable to the town in every way. Under the proposed plan, the Town could secure all the water it might need from the Hollinger main at cost price and the new main would also be available as an auxtiliary to be used in case of need for fire protection purposes. No rights or privileges of the town were given away. The Hollinger simply wanted complete control of its own water serâ€" vice and to this end asked permission for a right of way for the main through the town. The Hollinger showed every disposition to deal genâ€" erously with the town in the matter. The question was laid over until the legal formalities were attended to. The byâ€"law for the annexation of Mattagami was formally read. and duly passed. T0 INSTALL ADOITIONAL STRFFT LGATS 1N TOW! don‘t want it at ail, . The resident said. ‘"‘All right,‘‘ was the answer, "‘"wvet a petition to that effect signed and that will she one walk that we won‘t need to put in this year.‘‘ _â€"The Mayor called attention to the noticeable need for better lighting of the streets in town. On most of theé streets there were not enough lights. The result was that the comfort and safety of the people were endangered, Following a discussion of the matter, Councillor Néwtom moved a resolution ordering the installation of 20 more liechts. This passed without dissent. side The result w safety of the Following a Councillor N The Town Solicitor, Mr. D. ~W. O ‘Sullivan explained to the Council the greatly increased legal Dusiness of the town and pointed out that the remuneration 1)ald the town solicitor was not now equal to the demands made upon the solicitor‘s time. ‘This condition would continue, and likely increase, in view of the rapid growth and expansion of the town and the many public works, etc., being entered upon. The position of solicitor also prevented the taking of much good paying business, especially in the Diâ€" vision Court. He suggested the douwblâ€" ing of the present salary of, $100.00 the solicitor to pay his own outside agents‘ fees. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee to report at next meeting. Several members of Council spoke of the good services of the Town Solicitor and emphasized the idea that the plan of retaining his services had proved very good ‘busiâ€" ness for the Town. The accountrof Mrs. Moffat for hospital services and attention to the late Martin Crawford, was ordered paid, the dead man havmg apparently no friends or relatives ready to pay Following a discussion of the matter, Councillor Néwtom moved a resolution ordering the installation of 20 more lights. This passed without dissent. Councillor Newton again brought up the question of a walk on the south side of Third Avenue from Balsam to lirch. After a general discussion it was decided to put a fourâ€"foot board walk there for the present. This would serve the purpose until the lowering of the houses in that iblock permits of the joining up of the ceâ€" ment walk on that side of the road. The lumber from the walk on the other side of the road (now being reâ€" placed with concrete) will be used for the temporary sidewalk on the south side. The ‘Mayor reviewed what had been done in regard to the coal situation. People might he inconvenienced here by the lack of coal ‘but there would not be serious suffering on account of the wood available. The coal dealers had been put in touch with firms offerâ€" ing to supply Welsh and Western coal and the probabilities were that there would be enough coal available here by winter to fill the more pressing nee The regut ounceil was res1 t week the ratepayers of North defeated a byâ€"law to expend T ent on Balsam street, east d the Council to have the new walk laid the as some of them were Jbeing M n# of the Town onday afternoon J.

This representative body of business men from the East will ‘be accompanied by a number of Members of the British House of Commons who are making a tour of the Dominion. During their stay in town the party will be the guests of ‘Messrs. N. A. and L. H. Timmins. ~On account of the short time at the disposal of the party for the covering of the Dominion the time available for any section is limitâ€" ed, and the partyâ€" will not ibe able to spend more.than two or three hours here. During that time,, however, with hosts like the Timmins Bros., the visitors undowbtedly will be given a noteworthy view of the mining indusâ€" try and this immediate district. Such visits will do much to spread the truth about the resources and possitbilâ€" ities of the North Land in general and the Poreupine in particular. CASE DISMISSED RE MAN WHO TOOK RING PROM P.0O. MONTREAL CHAMBER 8F GOMMERCGE TD VIS!T REBE vy hille dismissing the case against W . H.=«Moore, a young man from Ottaâ€" wa, who was brought back ; hére in connection with the taking of 'zi','"l'ej_z'is- tered parcel from the post office here, Magistrate Atkinson at police court last week pointed out tnat ine young man had himself to blame for the last wWweeKkK poinfed out tnat ume young man had himself to blame for the trouble that ensued. The registered parcel contaimned a very valuable diaâ€" mond ring and was intended for a lady in town. The young man had sizgned for the pareel and then had left for Ottawa. When it was found that the pareel had ‘heen received by the wrong party, enguiries were made and eventually the young man was arâ€" rested at ‘Ottawa, and ‘brought back here. ‘The young man‘s defence was that he thoiught the ring might posâ€" sibly be for his wife and he thad writâ€" ten her to find out. Letters to uphold this were produced in court. He had not preserved the wrapper or taken other precautions to assure the rightâ€" ful destination of the ring, however, and so ‘had left himself open at least to the charge of carelessness. the evidence, however, it appeared that the young man did not realize the vaâ€" lue of the ring which was a diamond one in platinum setting. He had made no effort to dispose of the ring and ‘his character and record were of the best, so the case was dismissed. The case may well be taken by all to emphasize the fact that the greatest care should be shown in taking mail matter from the post office when there is doubt as to its ownership. 8. Swtezyk and ‘Mike Mackovitch were each fined $5.00 and eosts for allowing their cows to run at large It will ‘be noted that by a continuous series of such fines Acting Chief O‘Connor has impressed the lesson that this town is now too large and citified to ‘be used as a pasture ground. The citizens in general, and owners of gardens and flower beds in particular, are grateful for the attention that has rid the town of stray horses and catâ€" tle at nights. The charges of ‘contributory negliâ€" gence in connection with a recent acâ€" cident at the Hollinger as preferred against two of the employees of the mine, 8. Jay and B. Cain, were ‘heard. A fine of $50.00 and costs was imposâ€" ed upon Jay, and the charge against Cain dismissed.
