TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4th, 1925 Planning to Spend Five Days on Tour Including Sudbury, Cobalt, Iroâ€" quois Falls, Cochrane and Timming. PEMBROKE BOARD OF TRAOF TO VIS!T NORTR It is understood that the Board of Trade of Pembroke, Ontario, is planâ€" ning an educational trip through Norâ€" thern Ontario in the near future. The idea underlying the plan is that the people of the East and South should be better acquainted with the great North Land. In a recent issue of The Pembroke Standard reference is made to the project in a brief reâ€" port of the Board of Trade meeting. The suggestion for the trip was made by Messrs C. M. Rattray and J. T. Stuart, and The Standard says that the plan would be of benefit to the town and also of educational value to the individuais on the trip. [A committee composed of Messrs J. T. Stuart, W.â€"F. Garrow, A. J. Millar and D. A. Jones, were appointed to bring in a report on the matter at the next meeting. If the trip is unâ€" dertaken it will extend over a period of five days and the party will visit Sudbury, _ Iroquois _ Falls, Cochrane and Timmins. If the party from the Pembroke Board of Trade comes to the North Land they may be assured of a very hearty welcome in this Town of Timmins. ; EARTHQUAKE SHOGK FELT DISTINGTLY AT TIMMIHNGS Noticeable Quake at Other Points in The Porcupine. (There was an earthquake shock felt throughout Ontario and Quebec beâ€" tween 9.20 and 9.30 on Saturday evenâ€" ing last. _ The quiver contined for several minutes. In Quebece City the tremors were very noticeable,, though no damage was done except the falling of some plaster in ~a few buldings. In â€" Montreal there was noâ€" natural damage from the quake, but uin Moneâ€" ton picture houses and other gathering places the tremors came close to causâ€" ing panic. At Three Rivers, Que., one woman fell dead from shock during the progress of the slight, earth motions. At Toronto and other points in Ontario the earthquake was plainly felt. No damage is neported, the tremors being very slight,. In the iPoreupine Camp the earthâ€" quake made itself plainly felt. Seores of people in Timming noticed it, but did not connect it with any earthâ€" quake. ‘‘More blasting at one of the mines,‘‘ was their mental explanation as they felt the shaking. ‘*Faulty foundations,‘‘was another â€" thought when people distinetly felt ‘buildings quiver and shake. â€" There were sevoeral in Dr. Mcelunis‘ office at the time, one of the committees of the Dog Race heâ€" ing gathered there. They felt the shaking and particularly noticed the swayinge of a table lamp and u high bookease, ‘They are ‘"‘kidding‘"‘ each other now on the fact that though they stole looks at each other and wondered much about the shaking, no one made any comment. **‘Earthquake was not thought of by anyone. It was when word the earthquake bhegan to be broadcasted by radio that the shaking here was connected up with the earthâ€" quake idea.‘‘ The Government Observatory exâ€" perits admit that they do not know exâ€" actly where the quake was. They think it probable, however, that it originated near the mouth of the Saugenay River, where there is a semâ€" ous fault in the earth‘s strata. The geoglogical gents say that earthquakes are ‘caused by the clipping of the stnata at these faults. ALL MEMBERS OF MASONIC ORDER INVITED TO AT HOMLE.

Another hockey double header is scheduled for toâ€"morrow (Thursday) evening at the Timmins Rink. There will be a Juvenile match in the Roach Cup series, the Lakesides and the Maple . Leafs being the contending teams. The lads are playing lively hockey and this Juvenile mateh will be well worth seeing, to say nothing of everybody turning out to encourage the boys who ‘will carry the future hockey honours of the town if they cet the rigcht encouragement now. The other match will be Buckingâ€" hamâ€"Aill versus the Poreupine Senior team. â€" Buckingham is famous for its hockey players and the Buckingham boys iIbank on this to win the match. On the other hand Poreupine has also a bunch â€"of hockey fame and the Seniors have the idea that though: they owe much to the skill of Buckingâ€" ham players coming here, it is really the air that makes th Buckingham boys so good. Accordingly they inâ€" tend! to jgive them the air to mourrow night. Without taking sides in the matter, The Advance would suggest that in any event it will be a lively game, well worth seeing for hockey‘s sake, and also for the sake of hockey and good sport in the Camp the doubleâ€"header _ should be qpocinilv we‘l patronized. The last match, account of the severe weather, was not .larfrehv patronized.

Any information in «connection with the races may be secured from Dr. McInnis, chairman, G. A. Macdonald, secretary, or any members of the Committee. As the financing is being done this year with the sale of tags and the admission fees at the rink as pracâ€" tically the only sources of revenue, it is to be hoped that the public will give the heartiest support generally. In this way the financing can be done at a merely nominal cost to anyone. Buy a tag,, or a lot of tags! And don‘t miss the evening event at the Rink. stalled trains were left to shift for themselves to such an extent and so had to endure many hardships in the matter of comfort, meals‘ and sleepâ€" ing accommodation. â€" It is felt that in a case like this there should be someâ€" one in charge with the necessary authâ€" ority to secure proper comfort and accommodation for ~those on the trains wrecked or stalled. ‘*The C.P.R. would not let passengers sufâ€" fer in a case like this,"‘ said one pasâ€" senger on No. 47. The Advance does not think the T. N. 0. would wish to have the conditions complained of by passengers on the wrecked and stalled trains. The T. N. O. should see that any recurrence will not be possible. If the conductors and trainmen are not empowered to see to the comfort and health of the pasâ€" sengers in such a case, they should at once be so empowered for the future, even to the extent of securing hotel or hospital accommodation where neâ€" cessary and possible, and though this means expending money. The diner on No. 47 was badly smashed up, and the Pullman car was also damaged, but the latter being of steel withstood the bump, _ Several of the trainmen were briused, but as noted above the only serious inâ€" juries sustained were by the little girl and the gentleman with the inâ€" jured hand. MASONS SHOWING SKILL IN BASKETBALL GAMES. In Timmins the lack of train and mail service affected every line of business and effort. _ The theatres were without their rgeular pictures, were without their regular pictures, that were very good. TTuesday of last week the Masons took the Day School into camp with a defeat to the tune of 40 points to 22 in an exciting game of basketball. On Friday they again suceessfully upâ€" held craftmanship at Basketball by going over to the High School gym. and defeating the Night School 40 points to 28. Night or Day apparâ€" ently is the same to the Masons at Basketball. Of course, they did not have it all their own way by a gallon of jugful, the games being exciting and keenlyâ€"contested throughout. Serval have enquired as to the signiâ€" ficance or meaning of the signs disâ€" played all over the town *‘ Nothing But the Truth!*‘ Of course, ‘‘Nothâ€" ing but the Truth,"‘ must refer to the columns of The Porcupine Advance. Thanks very much! AAl
