Committee of Rod and Gun *4 ' Club to Look Into Question The chief question before the gath- ering was the proposal to put a dam at Frederickhouse Lake so as to pre- serve the lake as a breeding place for waterfowl. Mr. J. R. Todd, who has taken a special part in rousing interest in this question, explained that unless something is done there Will soon be no ducks at Frederick- house. Soon the lake would be dried up and the duck hunting over for good unless something were done to raise the water. \Vith the dam in and the water raised the planting. of wild rice and other duck foods could be carried on and the area preserved for waterfowl.

TIMMIN S, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MAY, 13th, 1925. The Baroness de Hueck, who is a naturalized British subject, is now resident in Toronto where she is on the staff of one of the large departmental stores. It was through the interest of Rev Fr. Theriault that Timmins had the priv ilége of hearing this gift- ed speaker. The Baroness gave her lecture in French in the Parish Hall on Friday evening. Her lecture, occu- pying about two hours, was one of the most complete and wmpnehensive re- views possible of Russian affairs, ani the big imdiencm here were more than pleased by her illuminating ex- ive Address at Goldfieldsvjl'heatre. I'TB'aroneSs de Hueek, eye witness of the great tragedy of Russia, war nurse, interpreter to IBritish forces, author and linguist, delivered 'her now-{fami- ous address on conditions in Russia, at the Goldfields Theatre on Sunday evening to a halt] filled to the doors. The Baroness, who has a charming personality, a remarkable gift of ;language and‘ expression, and who 9speaks from knowledge and the heart ldescribed Russia, past and present, in Every graphic style. The daysfbefore ithe“ revolution and the times of Etrouble iollowing \1 ere dealt with 1 e1 V leffectixely and the truth regarding Russia pictured so that all who heard :111ig’ht understand. A number of 11:1.uestion-s were asked from the audi- ence, some of them apparently not in good faith. :But the Baroness was able to handle them all most effective- iy. ”To one question as to what really mused the trou'blous times in Russia and the evils of Bols'hevism, the Bar- oness replied, “Ignorance, chiefly irrnorancel” To another question that was made only with the thought of putting across the idea. that'con- Editions in this country were bad, the Barness pointed out that this was a free countrx and- anyone not caring tor it cowld mo\e out, which \\ as much different to Russia. “If you don’t like this country,” she said, “the Government is ready to pay your way back to your native land.” Conditions under iBolshmik rule in Russia were outlined werv caretuld l\' and the theory and practice of Bolshevism dealt wit effectixely. Dr. J. A. McInnis, Mayor of Timmins occupied the chair. in his usual pleasing way. The Mayor made apt reply to the suggestion by one member of the audience that people‘ were starving to death‘ in Timmins.‘ He referred to the large amount paid here for relief work in the past few months. “ If any are suffering want,” he said, “it is because we do not know aboiit such cases.” The implication was - that the man who knew of such cases and neglected to call them- to the attention of the authorities was really responsible for any suffering there might be.

MacDonald, musician, en- larged on his plan to assist in en- couraging capital to come to this Camp. He suggested at first that the Board pass a vote of confidence in his plan, but later withdrew; this,suggesâ€" ition. He thought the Council and Board of Trade could help materially if they entertained financiers coming here and showed, them around the mines, the town and the camp. Thei Board was always ready to give all possible courtesy to visitors and had always given all the attention and assistance to any coming to the Camp in the past. At the same time it was pointed out .that the Board could not well, directly or indirectly, endorse, or appear to endorse any par- ticular property or section, without the danger of improper use being made of the implied endorsement by the wild-cat type. Mr. MacDonald was assured that the Board would in the future, as in the past, give all possible. attention and courtesy to visitors. DEATH OF MRS.

There was a very large attendance at the K. of C. Dance in King ’s Hall on Monday evening of this week and all present had a most enjoyable time. The K. of C. proved excellent hosts, and everyone felt very pleasantly at home. The Ramblers Orchestra sup- plied good music for the occasion, and refreshments, dancing and everything else were up to the best standards. Card tables were provided for any who might not care to dance, but the Paul Jones dance and the square dances tempted everybody up on the floor and there was so much enjoy- ment in the dances that the card tables were not used. “A delight- fully pleasant evening,” was the general verdict on the event. Board of Trade Meeting Discusses Many Important Questions. ASKING Ellfl EXEENllEfl EXPRESS EEEEWEHV HERE Mr. C. Pletsh was spokesman for a delegation from Elm Street seeking water service. Mr. Ringstead spoke along similar lines, both showing some peevishness towards the Council be- cause water had not been supplied previously.

The de- putation eventually agreed to look after the petition, etc. Mr. B.- Lennan pointed out the de- sirability of a fire alarm box in the Same area. He also suggested that either #3 wall; be put gown 91' its Mrs. Lawlor was again before the Council in regard to water rates charged in connection with her pro- perty, the charge for a shack that did not have water being the particular objection.
