~Porcupine Dog Race to be Held on Friday, March 6th A meeting oT those intlerested in ‘the annual Poreupine Dog Race was held yesterday afternoon in the Town Hall and it was definitely agreed to have this year‘s race on Friday, March 6th. Owing to the absence of the Mayor, who is out of town on business, little further was done than agreeing upon the date. _ Another meeting, however, is called for Friâ€" day afternoon of this week at the Town Hall, when the Mayor will be present and further _ arrangements gone on with in regard to the event. There seems to be a general opinion that in view of the short time for preparation and also the general conâ€" ditions that the prizes should be curâ€" tailed from the large amounts offered in the last two or three years. It is felt that it would not be fair nor well this year to ask the merchants to contribute as heavily as has been done in recent years, but that for this year the event might be run more as an amusement feature and purely Meeting of Committee Yesterday Afternoon Confirms Date. Preparations Now Under Way for the Tenth Annual Porcupine Dog Race. Further Announcements to be Made. Boys, 4 and 2 Years old Made Long Trip in and Safety This week two little Jelbert, aged four y Jelibert, aged two year safelvy after making t Trom Ingland unaccompanied Dy aâ€" dult relatives on guardians. The lhittle brothers were coming out to join their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jelbert, at 48 Broadway, Timmins. Mr. and Mrs. Jelbert came to Timmins last Spring, leaving the boys with nelatives in the Old Land, as they did mot know whether‘ or not they would locate ‘here permanently. Recently, . however, having settled in Timmins, they enâ€" quired as to the best way to get the little lads out here to the family cirâ€" dle. *‘Not necessary at all for anyâ€" one to go over after them, or for anyâ€" one to come out with them,‘‘ said Mn. J. K. Moore, Timmins agent for the Cunard Line, who explained that the shipping company wou‘d look afâ€" ter them and give the little dads care and attention that could not be exâ€" celled. That Mr. Moore knew where, of he spoke is evidenced by the follow ing panagraph from The Montreal Star of Eriday last, and still more by the safe arrival of the two lads:â€" ‘‘When the Cunardey Antonia arâ€" rives at Halifax during the weekâ€"end, two intrepid young voyagers will be WEE TOTS TRAVE ALORt SAFELY FROM O0LD Jellbert, aged two years, arrtvc safely after making the lon; from England unaccompanied dult relatives oy guardians.

Another from the same Board of Trade asks for a resolution of appreâ€" ciation to Hon. Chas. MceCrea, Minâ€" ister of Mines for Ontario, for his efforts to place before the public in Canada and elsewhere the extent of the resources of and opportunities to be found in. Northern Ontario. _ A third resolution from Iroquois Falls reads:â€"‘*That at the next meeting of the Temiskaming and Northern Onâ€" tario Boards of Trade the Federal Government be urged to place an emâ€" bargo on the export of pulpwood as set out in the letter from Mr. Allarâ€" dice."‘ Suggests Committee To Plan New Industries for North Troquois Falls Has Resolution to This Effect Before Assoâ€" ciated Boards of Trade.

The same is true of a resolution asking the Department of Education to change the school reguâ€" lations regarding the proportion beâ€" tween the time spent on secondary education and that on primary eduâ€" cation, or to provide a Junior or Inâ€" termediate High School for scholars 12 to 15 years of age.

Board of Trade has a resoluâ€" tion urging the elaims of the northern part of Temiskaming to having the proposed Transâ€"Canada Highway pass through here. Cobalt also advocates the building of the T. N.O, into the Rouynâ€" Camp, believing> that this would be in the best interests of Onâ€" tario in general ind of Northern Onâ€" tario in particular. Timmins submits the following res olution :â€"â€" a number of the settlers, who were depending on the sale of pulp wood for their very existence as settlers, were actually ruined and all were very seriously handicapped by the failure since 1921 of the Mattaâ€" gami Pulp Paper Company to pay the settlers for the pulpwood bought. Be it resolved that the Temiskaming and Northern â€" Ontario Associated Boards of Trade ask the Department of Lands Forests, who are more or less the guardians of the settlers, to move and see if justice can not be done these settlers in this matter."‘ All these resolutions noted above will be discussed by the Associated Boards, and in addition there will be several other topies for discussion and decision. A new draft of Conâ€" stitution and Byâ€"Laws for the Assoâ€" ciated Boards has been prepared and this draft will no doubt be carefully considered, though it shows very careâ€" ful preparation by the President and Secretary of the Associated Boards, and will likely be adopted as meeting the needs completely.

Mr. MacMillan then sang the opening of many hymns, new and old, having first the Choir and then the Congregation take up the singing.
