"Everything Excellent in Connection With the Event, Exâ€" cept the Weather. Hydroplane a Special Feature. South End Brigade to be Complimented on Arrangeâ€" ments. Motor Truck Used for Race. $f the partners in the company, was also at South End for the visit. When the hydroplane came to South Porcupine on Tuesday evening it earâ€" ried as a passenger Miss Smith, the winner of the free air trip for selling the largest number of tags for the event. The Temiskaming Firemen,.s annual tournament, held at South Poreupime on Wednesday last, July 1st, proved veryâ€" attractive and successful, ex eept in so far as the weather was conâ€" eerned. â€" With the usual efficiency and thoroughness which always characterâ€" izes the preparations for events of this kind at South End, South Poreuâ€" pine Fire Brigade had arranged a reâ€" markably fine programme for the big day. The weather, however, proved most unkind. It rained early in the day and then kept threatening, while the damp cold weather made it unâ€" comfortable all day. _ Nevertheless there was a good attendance, and the whole programme was presented withâ€" out a hitch and on schedule time. The South Poreupine Brigade is to be sinâ€" eerely complimented on the way the arrangements were made and the thoroughness with which they were earried through. Chief Harry Wilson and Secretary Max Smith were particâ€" nlarly faithful and effective in their excellent â€" work, There â€"was not enough rain during the day to be able to collect the rain insurance,. but there was enought to spoil the fine work of the South Poreupine workers who had arranged one of the finest programmes ever given in the North Land: Desâ€" pite rain and cold, however, there was the keenest interest in the whole proâ€" gramme and everything went off in fine shape. During the day the Goldâ€" fields Band rendergd the very finest of music, and Band Leader Boissonâ€" ault and his thirtyâ€"odd bandsmen were highly complimented on all sides. Another special feature was the Hydroplane. _ This was a centre of interest at the Lake all day. Demand for passage in this airship to see the Porcupine Camp from the air was so great that the hydroplane remained Firemen‘s Tournament at _ / _ South End Well Condncted Paid Circulation Last Week a couple of days, taking up about 200 passengers. Capt. Broatch:of the Northern Air Service was in wcharge o£f the Airship Mr. D. Briden, one The prizes offered for the various events were unusually attactive. The South Poreupine Boys did themselves proud in the matter, there being about Announcement was made last week to the effect that the Ontraio Governâ€" to the effect that the Ontario Governâ€" ment was showing its special interest in the agricultural development of the North by the appointing of a Direcâ€" tor of Dairying for this area and alâ€" so* by opening an Agricultural Office at Cochrane. Previously, the only branch of the Dept. ofâ€" Agriculture of ‘Ontario was at New â€" Liskeard. The office at ®@ochrane should be of material assistance. Study of the situatiom, in the North Land has emâ€" phasized the benefit and practicabilâ€" ity of dairying in this North. When on his recent visit to the North Land, Hon. Mr. Martin made special menâ€" tion on several public occasions of his belief that dairying was an industry to which this North should give speâ€" cial attention. _ No doubt the visit of the Minister of@Agricultural had great influene%’x‘l the attention now being given to the North by the Dept. of Agriculture. . The good work of the Associated Boards of Trade is also evident. Mr. E. C. Kennedy is the gentleman appointed as Director of Dairying for the North,. Special assistance is planâ€" ned for this industry in the North. Arrangements for loans for the purâ€" chase of dairy eattle have been made and every assistance given for coâ€"operâ€" ative creameries." As a result© of the eattle loan scheme, some six earloads ?fi' animals have come north and furâ€" er shipments are planned. There was a petition signed by aâ€" SPECIAL DAIRY FOR NORTH Agncultural Office Opened at Cochâ€" rana Also. hbort 800 farmers asking for the new branch office at Cochrane, as the one Pranch at New Liskeard was felt to be inadequate for the whole North Land. , IApparently the police have stopped the recent epidemic of petty robberâ€" ies in town.

South Poreupine was gaily decorâ€" ated with flags and welcome signs for the big day and all the many visitors were given very heary weleome. All that was needed to make a perfect big day of sports and pleasure was a fine chunk of weather, and the South Porâ€" ‘cupine boy» had done all they could in the matter. They are deserving of com mendation for their part, and regret that the weatherman failed in his end of the perfect day $700.00 in value in prizes for the varâ€" ious events, apart from the banners and trophies by the Association. The display of all the prizes in Mr. D. Deacon‘s store window _ attracted much attention. Firemen‘s Wives Raceâ€"1st, Mrs. Harry Wilson. The Judges for the: Firemen‘s Events, ete, were Messrs J. Lever,â€" M. Smith and J. Ivey. Sports, â€" athletic events, aquatic sports, etc., were all earried through despite the weather and were enjoyed despite the drawback of the poor day. The fireworks display was a feature of â€"the evening, as was also the daneâ€" ing at the 1.0.0,F. Hall and the new High School. Last Thursday night at the home of Mrs. M. Salley a jolly evening was spent in honour of her sister, Miss Emma Plouffe when a number of her friends gathered to wish her bon voyage, and presented her with a handsome «lub bag on her departure for Ottawa for a few months. The evening was spent in dancing, games and cards and bonnie dittle Irene Salley and Master Bertie Hormnby deâ€" lighted the guests with the Highland Fling.

ACCIDENT AT McDONALD‘S \‘ HILL ON WEDNESDAY LAST FINE RECORD THIS SEASON OF TIMMINS FOOTBALL CLUB On several oceasions The Advance has called attention to the need for a protective railing on the road at Meâ€" Donald‘s Hill. On July 1st there was an accident there that might easily have been more serious. Mr. Blake Martin‘s auto backed down the hill and ran off the road, the brakes not working in time. Mrs. Martin has been confined to her home since the acâ€" cident, suffering from the shock and fromâ€"the shakingâ€"up received. _ â€"Playving this season so far in three different competitions, the Timmins Football team has played seven games without a stnugle loss. They have had five straight wins, with two matches drawn. They have seored 17 goals, with only 2 goals scored against them. This record entitles the Timmins Football Team to the fullest support from the citizens of Timmins. The Timmins Football Team can surely be relied upon, as in the past, to do their bit for the credit of Timmins. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JULY, 8th, 1925. MIGS MARGARET GOLE / QUEFN OFf RODED RERE Miss Spence Won the Team of Horses in Event Last Week. Bad weather marred the first day of the Stampede and Rodeo put on at Dalton‘s Park, Timmins, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. There was a goodâ€"sized crowd the first day, with a smaller attendance, but good weather, the second day, and with the third day still smaller The event was put on by the Smith Rodeo Concession Co., under the ausâ€" pices of the Timmins Kiwanis Club. For many weeks past great preparaâ€" tions had been made for the ‘three davys and extensive advertising by For many weeks past greal preparaâ€" tions had been made for the ‘three days and extensive advertising by poster and dodgers _ There were a number of contests with good prizes. Miss Margaret Cole won first place in the icontest for Queen of the Rodeo and was duly crowned on the first day, taking the place of honour in the parade. Miss C. Kerr won second place in this contest. _ Third place was won by Miss Mabel Vittali. The prizes were $325.00, $100.00 and $50.00 cash being taken in preference to trips offered. _ Miss Spence won the team of horses offered. e . parade on Wednesday was headed by the Mayor, Dr. J. A. Meâ€" Innis riding a big horse. The Mayor formally opened proceedings at the park. Gambleâ€"Robinson, Liamited, won first prize for the best decorated truck in the parade. The first prize for best decorated car went to Mr. V. Woodbury and second to Mr. A. P. Dooley.. As there were only three window dihplays in town â€"for the ocâ€" casion, the. window display contest was called off. Timmins Citizens‘ Band was out in full strength for the first day, there being 32 ba.ndsmen present. On the othex two days a smaller band furâ€" nished the necessary music. The band music was one of the appreciatâ€" ed features of the Stampede and Rodeo. The Stampede and Rodeo itself proved somewhat disappointing to the people generally, though there were some features that pleased all. The riding of two horses at a time was one of these features, this feat being very popular_ and much applauded. Another special feature that made particular popular appeal was, the dancing by little Miss Gwendolyn Smith. The dancing at the big paviâ€" lion on the grouuds was also an apâ€" preciated feature. Music for this was furnished by a large orchestra that supplied particularly ‘effective music, The second day is generally creditâ€" ed with being much better than the first, o far as entertamment was ouneelned ichanges being made in the arr.;mO'ement of_ the items so as to prov ide more. variety. A number of booths at the park were kept busy during the three days. The Timmins Citizens‘ Band has decided to make Thursday evening the regular night for the weekly open air band concerts. If it should raim on the Thursday evening, the coneert will be given on Friday evening. Thursday this week the Band wili give the regular weekly openâ€"air conâ€" cert. â€" The following is the programme of â€" selections :â€" March; Selection, **Tolanthe‘‘; Waltz, ‘‘Vanity Far‘‘; Selection, â€"** Lurline ‘‘; _ Seleetion, * Nautical Fantasia ‘‘; Overture, ‘*‘Debutante‘‘; Selection, ‘*A Gaiety After being closed for seven years Temagami Inn at Temagami has reâ€" opened, according to the Temagami correspondent of The Northern News. Two special cars from Cleveland carâ€" ried guests for the Inn one day last The event was concluded without any serious mishap. â€" There were howâ€" ever, two or three minor misadvenâ€" tures. Two of the cowboys were slightly hurt, and a youngster was knocked down by an automobile, though not materially injured. One of the cowboys to be hurt was W. Bagley, whose foot caught in the stirâ€" rup while in a bronchoâ€"busting act. Before he could get released, he was kicked about the face and bodv sufâ€" fering some nasty cuts and bruxses. though escaping any serious injury. Medical attention was 2‘1\'911 and he was able to earry on again. It.can be said that the event in genâ€" eral has not proven popular here and many coming in from Iroquois Falls and. other points outside also expressâ€" ed disappointment â€" Financially, while not a moneyâ€"maker as expected, it is understood that expenses will be more than met by the receipts and there will be a small balance above the exâ€" penses W w zus P .3 Open Air Events Thursday Evenings This Season The Smith Rodeo Concession Co., left here this week for Cobalt where they will put on the show next week under the auspices of the Cobalt Kiâ€" TO HOLD BANO GONGERTS DN THUSRDAY FVENINGS WoekK TIMMINS PLAYS DICKS0N GUP MATCGH OX SATUROAY Postponed Game Called to be Playe at Kirkland Laks This Week. Official announcement is made that the pastponed football match in the Dickson Cup series," Timmins vs. Kirkland Lake, is to be played . at Kirkland Lake on Saturday of this week, July l1th. Kirkland Lake is celebrating the Twelfth on Saturday and this football feature will be one of the special events of the day. A contest~ between the Timmins and Kirkland Football teams is always a clean, lively and interesting match and the event on Saturday will be well up to standard, as both teams are out to win. Timmins has started out to add the Dickson Cup to the King Cup already won, and Kirkland Lake wants the Dickson Cup this seaâ€" son. Kirkland Lake always puts up a nice sportsmanlike game, and Timâ€" mins boys do the same, and so no matâ€" ter who wins on Saturday, it will be w good football mateh. 4 T0 GOLLEGT FOR DAM AT FAEDERICKAOUSE LAKE The meeting called in the Council Chamber,; Monday night.to further consider ways and means to preserve Frederickhouse Lake as a breeding place for wild waterfowl was fairly well attended, and an interesting disâ€" cussion took place Eventually it was decided to follow the plan suggested by Mr. J. R. Todd and buld a dam at Frederickhouse Lake to keep the water at a proper permanent level. The expectation is that the sportsmen of the whole district will contribute to the cost of the dam To secure the money and arrange for the dam to be built, the following committee to be known as the Frederickhouse Lake Dam Committee was elected :â€" Presidentâ€"Mr. Art. Young. Secretaryâ€"Mr. J. R. Todd. Treasurerâ€"Mr. D. Sutherland Messrs W. A. Gordon, Haileybury; Steen, Cobalt ; R. Swayne, Connaught ; W. F. J. Cosser, Schumacher; W â€"G. A. Woods, South Poreupine; Alex Dewar, Iroquois Falls; E. M. Allâ€" worth, Timmins. Committee Appointed to Solicit Subâ€" scriptions From Sportsmen in the North. According to information now to hand Timmins Football Team, chamâ€" pions of Northern Ontario, will not play at North Bay during the Old Home Week in that baby eity in August. Instead the star visiting football team will be the St. Thomas Football team. The reason .given for the decision is that so many of the St. Thomas, folk are oldâ€"time resiâ€" dents of North Bay. North Bay and St. Thomas are both important chiefâ€" ly ‘as â€" railroad centres and so no doubt have special tiese and eonnecâ€" tions. It was at one time intended to have the Timmins team . at;«the Bay for the Old Home Week, and a letâ€" ter of invitation to this effect was sent here a couple of weeks ago, All that need be said now that North Bay has changed its plana is that North Bay and its hosts of visitors will miss seeing one of the fastest and cleverâ€" est football teams playing toâ€"day in the Province. The Tiumnmins team plays fine football and are a credit to this town in every way. The necessity for a dam if there are to be any waterfowl left for this part of the North was emphasized, and all sportsmen throughout the North are asked to assist in this good work, especially those who have enâ€" joyed from year to year the pleasures of duckâ€"hunting at Frederickhouse Lake ' On another page will be found reâ€" ference to the case of two fire rangers claining reward of $5,000 80 Tor the arrest of Harry }‘dllbdn]\S wanted at Schnectady, NY., on a (ohrarg_,e of kidnapping. The fire rangers caught a man now held at North Bay on a charge of murdering a wate ‘hman near Hearst some weelxs ago and in tihus man the rangers also thought they had Harry Fairbanks. _ Despatches this week from Schnectady, however, are to the effect that the picture, desâ€" seription and finger prints of the priâ€" soner at North Bav show that he is not the man wamted for kidnapping, so the fire rangzers will miss the $5.000.

Well the Firemen‘s Sports Day is over and the general opinion expressâ€" ed was this:â€"‘‘Given a fine day the ceélebration would have been a financial success; as it is, the local firemen who worked so hard to make it a good day, are in the hole.‘‘ The boys deserve every commendation for the way they worked, their plans for your a our enjoyment were perfect, but Mr. Weatherman spoiled it _ About the only consolation we have‘is that of knowing that everything humanly possible was done to make the day : success.
