V. Ryckâ€" man, A. A. Sutton, John Vanier, Frank Woods, Iroquois Falls; F. M. Wallingford and G. A. Macdonald, Timmins; B. L. Cope, Smooth Rock Falls; Smith Ballantyne and Rev. Fr.

The sessions opened at 1.30 p.m. on Wednesday, Mayor H. Weeks and Mr. .. Wright, President of Englehart Board of Trade, very heartily welcomâ€" inez the delegates to Englehart. There was a regular storm of proâ€" test agftinst the proposal that the Asâ€" sociated Boards be confined to «the towns along the T. N. 0. Various speakers, including F. M. Wallingford, pointed out that the live boards of trade along the Transcontinental not only deserved the support of the rest of the North, but they were also a strength to the Associated Boards. Mr. John Clark explained that the proâ€" posal had not been meant as a resoluâ€" Associated Boards Urges â€" Need for Roads for Settlers Mr. Wickett, of New Liskeard, brought forward the matter of the liability imcus#red in a municipality by indigents coming from unorganized territory. . It was pointed* out that outside municipalities were liable for indigents falling on the charity of other municipalities. _ The Governâ€" ment being in the moral position of guardian of those in unorganized places should pay for the indigents trom these unorganized places, the Government being the only one to reâ€" ceive any revenue from unorganized territory. A resolution to this effect was passed. * gettlers, the way would be taken. G. A. Macdonald pointed out that the promise of future protection was a big step forward and on his suggesâ€" tion a resolution ‘was adopted urging the Government to take a still furâ€" ther step and find some method to force the payment of the settlers. On motion of G. A. Maedonald a resolution was also passed urging the Government to consider the Corresâ€" pondence School plin ag used in British Columbia and other provinces as a means of providing education for the children of settlers in outlying district where schools were impossible an account of conditions. Mr. Alee Dewar, President of the Associated Boards of Trade, presided with much ability and skill at the sessions of the gathering, and both he and Secretary Ryekman filled their places with an efficiency and interest that fully warranted the very hearty vote of thanks and appreciation passâ€" ed to these two officers at the close of the sessions. President Wright and the Englehart Board of Trade and the ladies also fully earned the sinâ€" ecere votes of thanks tendered them for the fine hospitality extended. After the reading of the minutes, and a very comprehensive report on roads by Mr. B. L. Cope, President Dewar announced that he had definite assurance from Torgnto that the road fTrom Porquis Junction to Cochrane would be completed this year.. Als® that the Transâ€"Canada Highway posiâ€" tively would not be built on the north shore of Lake Superior, but would come through this North Land. Mr. Donald McEachren ably pointed out the advantage not only to the North, but to Canada also, from the Trans â€" Canada Hwhwav passmg through here, and on his motion the Government is to be asked to make a survey of the «eountry from Nipissâ€" ing to Hearst for this proposed, highâ€" W ay. A letter was read from the Dept. of Lands Forests in regard to the Matâ€" tagami Pulp Co. and the settlers, prom ising that steps would be: takem ‘to suard the settlers from similar conâ€" ditions in the future and also suggestâ€" ing that if the Government could find a, way to speed up the paying of the Boards. at All. Other Important Business at Associated Maitice Board had four resolutions that were duly passedâ€" after discusâ€" sion, the representatives west of Cochâ€" rane speaking ahbly in support and having the eoâ€"operation of Timmins and other delegates. These included requests for a brldge over the Missinâ€" abt River to serve 75 settlers and their families; the building of a proâ€" per station at Mattice, and the apâ€" pointment of a permanent station master, so that settlers could have proper transportation facilities; and improvements to the hlgh\\ ay in the district. 4 A resolution from Kapuskasing reâ€" garding the employment all the year round of a fire ranger and deputy roused. some dlscub%wg of the present fireâ€"ranging plans. Rome thought too much attention â€"was being given to arship equipment and not enouwh to: fire ramgint in general. On the sugâ€" gestion of 4. A. Macdonald the rexu-: lutxon was larid overâ€"until the next meeting and in the meantime a domâ€" mittee will work out suggestions for a system of fire ranging in general that will promise the most effective results. tion. but as a letter to the â€" boards to get their opinion matter. He asked the withdr; the resgsolution. The suggestion from Smooth Rock Falls that meetings of the Associated Boards be halfâ€"yearly instead of quarterly, and that a representative Executive Committee be formed to carry on the business generally, was voted down, the members believing that the meetings were not too freâ€" quent and the expense of travelling was compensated for by the benefits of meeting delegates from all over the North and exchanging ideas and formâ€" ing friendships. The resolutions regarding a change in name for the Associated Boards were disposed of by the final adoption of the name, ‘*‘The Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade."‘ It was decided to have the Associated Boards duly incorporated, and the name reâ€" gistered, provided the expense is not too vreat. Resolutions from Timmins, asking for endorsation of requests for a road for the settlers from Wawaitin to connect with the road to Timmins and for a road south of the Mattagami along the base line, were duly enâ€" dorsed. These resolutions fnd others from Englehart and Mattice. brought forth objection from some of the Cobalt delegates who thought nothing of a local nature should be dealt with by the Associated Boards. F. M. Wallâ€" ingford and others answered this obâ€" jectiaon by pointing out that the resoâ€" lutioans in question were not really local, but for the settlers and for the general advantage of the North. Another question that created much discussion was the hardship to the settlers through the holdâ€"back on pulpâ€" wood until clearances were secured. Mr, Christiansen showed not only the hardship of the ‘*holdâ€"back,"‘"‘ but also the difliculty of convenient access for the settlers to Crown»Timber Agents and to railway stations where there were agents in charge. The general opinion was that the difficulty would be largely removed if Crown Timber Agents were given full authority to decide on the :bona fides of settlers and issue clearances in deserving eases. The matter is to be taken up with the Government. A resolution from Kapuskasing that the Government be asked . to spend $500,000 a year for the next three years for settlers‘ roads west of Cochâ€" rane roused much discussion. Revs. Fr. Lajoie and Lambert, J. Christian< sen, the Timmins delegates and others strongly â€"supported the resolution. It was pointed out that between Cochâ€" rane and Hearst there were 8,000 settlers, living on their farms for five to years without any roads and having to pack everything on their backs to and from their farms in the stummer. It was time that proper expenditures ‘be made for roads. In the past too large a proportion of the Colonization Roads money had been spent for highways adjacent to towns. Reference was made to large amounts spent for highâ€"class roads near Sudâ€" bury, Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins, and other places. _ President <â€" Dewar agreed with the need, but thought the amount asked might be considered too large. The answer to this was that the need was very urgent and the money should be spent in justice to all concerned. The resolution was adopted. Resolutions from Englehart were duly passed asking for <â€"a road to Skead and‘a ‘bridge over the Blanche River. A resolution for the exemption of YAaArious on the awal of TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17th, 1925. The question of an excursion of the members of the Associated Boards this year, especially in the district west of Cochrane, was taken up and it was left in the hands of the secretary to find out how many delegates would take in suceh an exeursion. If there were suflicient to make it a success he was authorized to make the necesâ€" sary arrangements; if not sufficient men would go, the idea is to urge as many delegates as can to attend the Field Day at Kapuskssing on August oth, when they will have a chance to go over the Experimental Farm. â€" _ There was a banguet Wednesday evening, report of which is given elseâ€" where in this issue. The sessions were continued on Thursday morning to clean up the business of the meeting. At Thursday‘s session a very hearty vote of thanks was tendered Hon. Mr. Martin for his visit and interest and his eloquent address. Regret was exâ€" pressed that in view of the importance of the roads question neither Hon. Mr. Lyons nor any representatives of his Dept. had attended the meeting. Inspector Well Pleased With Comâ€" pany of Cadets+at Public Schools. â€"The next meeting of the Associatec Boards will be held at Cochrane. GAPT. JAMES INGPEGTS : GADFTS AT Capt. James, of Ottawa, was a visitor to town this week, making a formal inspection of the Cadets at the Timmins Public School on Tuesâ€" day. Every member of the company was present,â€"47 in all.

Porquis Juncetion, June 16thâ€"The comedy entitled ‘‘Safety First‘‘ will be"presented at Porquis Juncetion by the young people of the Union Church on the evening of Wednesday, June 24th, commencing at 8 p.m. This litâ€" tle play contains an abundance of humour. The man who ‘‘kisses his wife goodâ€"bye at 18 minutes past seven,‘‘ and does not return home unâ€" til late the next morning has consider able explaining to do. This is easy, however, compared to the confusion or explanation necessary when the same devoted husbhand and his friend spend thirty days in jail as a result of that night away from home, while his wife and others are persuaded that they are attending a Shriners‘ Convention in Florida. The Irish cook, a defeetive detective and the Turkey girl, all add to the interest ‘of the plot. This is a play worth seeâ€" inz.. Do no miss it. The President <was authorized to select two members to. accompany him to Toronto to lay personally before the (Government the various matters adopted by the Associated Boards, it being felt necessary to back up the resolutions frith personal representaâ€" tions.

Wallingford said the tax came unâ€" der the idea of *‘ taxation without reâ€" presentation."‘ The tax went into the Highways Department for the upâ€" keep of roads under that department. The North got:nothing from the Highâ€" ways Dept., all . roads here being under the Northern Development Branch. Here, on account of bad roads, twice as much gasoline was used for the same mileage, ‘the tax thus bheing douâ€" ble, and no returns, Timmins alone paid about $300.00 per week in gasoâ€" line tax.

Lamarche, charged with theft and forgery; Dr. Jackson, J. E. Garrett, M. Holgevae and R. Holgevac, charged with illegâ€" al possession of gold ore, or under other sections of the law covering what is broadly referred to as highâ€" grading. All the highâ€"grade charges were digmissed, the accused in each case not only being acquitted, but the gold being ordered returned to the acquitted men. In Dr. Jackson‘s case the evidence was to the eiffect that the gold ore found in his posâ€" session had been given him by the agency operator working for Special Agent K. Allen. The gold was to pay for dentistry work done. In the case of J. E. Garrett, the aceusâ€" ed claimed that Special â€" Agent R. Allen had asked him to purchase any gold offered for sale, informing the Special Agent as soon as possible of the facts in the case. Messrs, W. A. Gordon and A. C. Brown, who were counsel â€"for the defence, scored the methods adopted in these cases, and the Judge also found fault with the tactics used.
