, Teachers‘ Convention at South Porcupine, Oct. 1 2 About 200 new candidates were initiated into the Order as charter members of the Lodge here, and 200 K_Ore applicationggwere on file here, so the Timmins sfl?ge of this Order has the remarkable start of a charter gnembership of about 400, which is assuredly an unusual and very enâ€" couraging start for a new lodge. »Interesting Programme for Annual Meeting of North Temiskaming Teachers‘ Association, to be held at South End High School on Thursday and Friday of Next Week While ‘returning from work at the Hollinger Mine on Wednesday evenâ€" ing of this week, George Moronco susâ€" tained â€"a number of bad cuts and bruises and also suffered a broken #ollar bone, when he was struck by car on the new road about halfâ€"way between town and the Hollinger. Timmins Lodge of the Moose Starts With 200 Members It was decided to leave the charter open for thirty days longer, so as to give everybody a chanee to bring their friends in at the low initiation fee of $10. Explanation of the great work down by the Loyal Order of Moose for fatherless children, along with the sick and accident benefits, may be largely responsible for the outstanding suecess of the start of the lodge at Timmins. Timmins Lodge, No. 1658, Loyal Order of Moose,gwas duly organized on Sunday, Sept. 20th, at a very largely attended â€" and _ enthusiastic meeting held in the New Empire Theatre.

MeéGraw was coming into town, and travelling well below the legal rate. Just as he rounded a eurve he met another. car. He dimâ€" med his lights, but the other car did not, and Mr. McGraw was blinded far the moment by the glare of the passâ€" ing car. It was a dark night, and the water on the black road seemed to throw back the light in such a way that it was difficult to see well. In any event Mr. McGraw did not see Moronco who was walking in front of the car as it rounded the curve. The car hit Moronco and earried him forward for a few feet. Mr. MceGraw had the car stopped almost as soon as it struck the man. He secured imâ€" mediate medical attention for the inâ€" jured man. Had Mr. MeGraw not been very careful driver there is little doubt but that the man would have been killed. SALVATION ARMY BAND MAKING GOOD PROGRESS Two Hundred More Applications for Membership.

Otherwise the Fair was the Inggest success yet. The exhibits were unusual both in quality. The two big buildings on the new fair grounds at the station at Poreupine (Golden City) were crowded with highâ€"elass exhibits. The roots and vegetables attracted special attention, the poultry showing was specially good, and the arts and domestic arts sections were features of particular importance. With fair weather the 1925 Porcupine Fair would have eclipsed anything in the line ever held in this part of the North. As it was, the President, the Secretary and the other: officers and directors deserve specialâ€" commendaâ€" tion for the results apparent for the hard .and effective work they had done to make the Poreupine Fdll‘ an outstanding event.

Both cars were badly damaged. One of the cars was from Dalton‘s Livery and the other was driven by Mr. H. J. Marshall. At this point there is a turn in the road and Mr. Marshall did not see the other car approachâ€" ing. The livery car, however, noted the chances of a collision on this narrow strip of road and the brakes were applied and the car brought to a standstill. Mr. Marshall was unable to avoid the collision and his car smashed into the standing ear with both ears being badly smashed up, particularly in front. . Both cars were hauled away later to the repair shops. Fortunately no one was inâ€" jured.

The speakers for the occasion were Mr. Geo. A. Smith, formerly of Timmins, and now of Cochrane, and Mr. Bradette himself. Mr. Smith was until a few weeks ago one of the viceâ€" presidents of the Liberal Association of Cochrane, but has been stirred to dopposition by what he believes to be unfair and undue manipulation used against Mr. Bradette. The two speakers at the meeting Sunday evenâ€" ing explained the reason for Mr. Braâ€" dette‘s candidature at this time, the claim being made that <the recent Liberal convention had been improperâ€" ly manipulated. Mr. Bradette said that his friends had practically forced him to take the field to upset a clique that was attempting to control the Liberal party in <the riding. Mr. Smith and Mr. Bradette also spoke on the general political questions of the day and both made very effective speeches. . â€" Both are <rood speakers, TWO BIG CARS BADLY DAMAGED IN COLLISION SUCGEGSFUL MEETING IN OF MR.

Pete Pecueci, the man shot by _ a woman a@t Nellie Lake on Aug. 16th, still lives though at the time of the injury doctors admitted he could not recover. Pecucei also admitted he was going to die, but he keeps on livâ€" ing. A couple of weeks ago he was operated upon, though the bullet was not removed. Since then he has takâ€" en a new hold on life.. Still the doeâ€" tors are doubtful as to his having any chancee to recover, and still Pecucei asserts he is dying. But he still hves It is a remarkable case of the wonderâ€" ful vitality this man has. Since the shooting he has lost enough blood to warrant two ordinary men in dving.

LITTLE CHANCE TO RECOVER BUT PECUCCI STILL LIVES Rabbi Venker will remain here to conduct the services in connection with the ‘*‘Day of Atonement‘‘ Obserâ€" vance. The Hebrew New Year is ushered in with the observance of many rules and customs coming down from anâ€" cient days. From sunset to sunset all work and business are laid aside. All business places are closed and no work of any kind done, except that demanded by absolute necessityv. There are several days observed specially by the Hebrews at this time. One of these is the ‘‘Day of Atonement,"‘‘ t0o*"be observed on Monâ€" day next, Sept. 28th. Will Remain in Timmins Until After the Day of Atonement Services. RABBI VENKER, TORONTO,â€" GONOUGTS SERVIGES HERE Saturday last, Sept. 19th, was the first day of the Hebrew New Year, and was duly observed by the Hebrew Congregation â€" here. _ The regular New Year services here were conducâ€" ted by Rabbi Venker, of Toronto, who is both eloquent and learned in the law. Tuesday evening a Social Evening was held at the Baptist Church in honour of Mr. Whitcomb, the MceMasâ€" ter University student who has been assisting Rev. Mr. Hall at Timmins and Schumacher this summer. _ Mr. Whitcomb has been very popular with all the members and adherents of the church and his good services have been much Appreciated. Particularly among the young people has the work of Mr. Whiteomb this summer been of great value and helpfulness. There is general regret at his deparâ€" ture after this week, and it was to express this regret and the sincere good wishes that will follow him that the Social Evening was held on Tuesâ€" day night, The Young People‘s Demonstration at the Salvation Army last Thursday evening proved both interesting and successful. There was a large attenâ€" dance and the programme throughout was a very attractive and pleasing one and each item was earried through in very effective way. The proâ€" gramme consisted of recitations, drills duets, solos, instrumental music, etc The road between â€" Timmins and South Poreupine is now complete and it is a fine stretch of good road. The only fault that might be found with it is that it is a little too narrow for the everâ€"increasing traffic. The road itself, however, is a credit to all concerned. The contractors may be commended for the excellent work done and the Northern Development Branch for the careful supervision and attention given. â€" With the exâ€" ception of â€"a short strip by the subâ€" way at Timmins there is now A stretch of good road from the Mattaâ€" gami River clear through to. South Poreupine.. The road to the Dome is also being macadamized. _ There is also good road now _ to Iroquois Falls and to Matheson and in the way of main roads this district is now well served. , It is only fair to comâ€" pliment the Ontario Government on the interest shown during the last couple of years in providing roads to connect up.the towns of this North. In this regard, with the highway from North Bay to Cochrane now well advanced, this district has very fine promise of being well supplied with main roads. The one big requirment now is roads for settlers and this, of course, is a big problem,â€"a vital proâ€" blem in the development of the counâ€" try.

EXPERT EXAMINING THE KEFFER PLAGER CLAIMS Dr. Sloan and Party Now at Claims of Keefer Placor Syndicate. Recently there has not been much talk regarding the placer claims in Keefer and other townships southâ€" west of Timmins, but this is not beâ€" cause there has been any real drop in the interest, but simply because those interested have been quietly carrying on the work of investigation and exploration. There are a number working on the placer claims and there is strong confidence _ among these. INTERESTING EVENT AT SALVATION ARMY HERE, In the case of the Keefer Placer Syndicate,â€"a local group who own twentyâ€"two claims in the new placer area,â€"there is the evident intention to prove up the possibilities of the area, The syndicate has secured the services of Dr. Sloan and are having this expert make a thorough examinâ€" ation of the claims with the idea of securing a complete and unbiassed report. Dr., Sloan is a man of wide experience in placer mining in the Yukon, the Klondyke and in British Columbia. He left this week with a party of six for the Keefer Placer Syndicate claims to draw cores and bring in concentrates. His report on the placer claims will be awaited with considerable interest. The‘ Ontario Government gave very prompt attention to the request _ reâ€" cently made by the Board of Trade to send an expert in to Keefer and other townships from which placer gold has been reported. The Dept. of. Mines at present has one of their men in Keefer sizing up the condiâ€" tions, ete., and preparing a report. ONTARIO GOVERNMENT HAS MAN IN PLACER FIELD Before the evening was over the ruests took a managing hand themâ€" selves in the observance of the Silver Wedding â€" anniversary. Brief adâ€" dresses were given by Mr. D. Mackie, President of the Caledonian Society, Mr. G. A. Macedonald, Past President of the Caledonians, and Mr. Duxfield, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts had invited a number of friends to a Social Evenâ€" ing at the Hollinger Recreation Hall in honour of the occeasion, and knowâ€" ing the kindly hospitality of this popular family from past pleasant evenings enjoyed, there was very hearty response to the invitations exâ€" tended. Over a hundred friends were at the hall and a delightful evening was enjoyed by all. Mr. James Cowan was Master of Ceremonies for the ocâ€" ceasion and carried through the duties of that office in very effective way. The finest of bright music, and lots of it was provided by an orchestra inâ€" cluding, Mr. J. T. Bridges, violin ; Mr. Geo. Hale, piano, and Mr. H. MeCulâ€" loch, drums. _ Danceing and other social pleasures were enjoyed, Old land dances being especial favorites. The Highland dancing by little Misses Maisie Roberts, Margaret Geils, Marâ€" garet Easton and May Moore, in cosâ€" tume, merited the high appreciation given to these talented young ladies. Another special dance number was the Spanish Dance given by little Miss Duxfield, in costume. This gifted young lady made a decided hit with her clever and finished interpretative dancing. Interest and pleasure was further added by solos well rendered by Messrs D. Mackie and T. Huntley. By special and insistent request both Mr. and Mrs. A. Roberts also favoured the gathering with songs that deâ€" lighted all. lee cream, tea, coffee, sandwiches, cake and other delicacies were served during the evening, and were greatly enjoyed and appreciated on merit. a wire from the Ontario Secretary suggesting that Ulsters would not come to Timmins unless there was a guarantee of expenses. By the way it will be remembered how â€" much ‘*euarantee‘‘ Timmins got last year in the matches away from home. Tinmâ€" mins was then very strictly given to understand that the matter was covered by the rules of the Associaâ€" tion. And the rules have not been changed in this regard. Further telegrams from the Ontario Secretary suggested that Ulsters were.very hard to handle and that the Association was trying to humour them, even though it be at the expense of Timâ€" ming. Eventually word was received here from the Ontario Secreary that Ulsters would not come to Timmins on Sept. 26th. They were willing to come on Oct. 3rd. They also objected to the referee selected and approved. The Timmins Secretary replied that W as Set for Saturday, Sept. 26th, but Ulsters are Said to Insist That They Will Not Play Here Until Saturday, October 3rd. Does the Ontario Football Association Control the Clubs or Does the Ulster Team Run the Show ? t l At the present minute it looks as if â€"the Ontario Football Cup match scheduled to be played at Timmins on Saturday would be held up until the following Saturday, Oct. 3rd. * This week Secretary W. A. Field, of the Timmins Team has been in reâ€" ceipt of a number _ of telegrams from the Secretary of the Ontario Football Association. To judge from these telegrams the Ulsters team is running,. the O.F.A., instead of the O.FP.A. directing all the teams in the Ontario Cup ties. After the chamâ€" pionship of the Toronto District had been decided last Saturday by Ulsters defeating the Davenport Albions, 1â€"0. the Ontario Association â€" Secretary notified Secretary Field ‘that the match between Timmins, champions of Northern Ontario, and Ulsters, champions of Toronto District, would take place on Naturday, Sept. 26th. Arrangements were accordingly made here, advertising .issued, and so on. A referee was secured and approved by the Association. Then along comes Mr. and Mrs. A Roberts Observe Silver Wedding Anniversary Uncertainty About Ontario Football Cup Game Here Big Gathering at Hollinger Hall. _ Happy Young Couple Loaded With Silver Presents and Golden Wishes. First Silver Wedding Celebrated in Timmins. A Delightful Evening. So far as known the first Silver Wedding Anniversary to be celebrated in Timmins was that of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Roberts who observed last night, Wednesday, Sept 23rd ~1925, the twentyâ€"fifth anniversary of their marriace. One of the special features at the Silver Wedding was the very fine wedding cake, each of the guests beâ€" ing treated to a generous portion. However, telegerams are still passâ€" ing between the Timmins Necretary and the O.F.A. Secretary. Last night there was a meeting of the Timmins Foothball Club executive and players in the matter. After discussion it was decided to play on Oct 3rd, if necessary. This decision was reached because the boys were zmxifixs to give the fans a game here and anxâ€" ious for a chancee to fairly trim the Ulsters. The postponement to Oct. 3rd will be detrimental to Timmins and also will affect the gate. Keeping on postponing games does not help good geate. the match having been duly set for Saturday, the Team‘ here would exâ€" pect the Ulsters here on that date. If they failed to come Timmins would naturally. claim the game. _ Uilsters made no effort to arrange any change with Timmins. Apparently they felt that all they had to do was to tell the O.E.A. what they would do or would not do. It would appear that Ulsters intend to run the O.F.A. In view of the general and continuous breach of the rules and regulations for the heneâ€" fit of Toronto teams in the O.F.A., it would appear that the rest of the world ought to drop out, or drop out Toronto, so as to get something like a fair deal. Timmins was givem enough in the way of raw deals last year. Many feel that this time the matter should be put up to the outâ€" fit and that the Hogâ€"town bunch should be either foreed to play fair or else be exposed so that sportâ€"lovers might know what is going on. In the present case, though any further postâ€" ponement of ecup games is dangerous, it might have been possible to arrange a change of date if both teams were consulted. But to foree one team, living up to ‘the rules to agree to the demands of the other team, regardless: of regulations, seems too much of too much. President of the Poreupine District Football League. These addresses emphasized the high regard im which Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were held hy all who know them. The great assisâ€" tance they had given to the Caleâ€" donian Society in many ways was mentioned. Their help to the proâ€" gress of football and other good sports was touched upon. _ But the special emphasis was properly givem to the good citizenship of Mr. and Mrs. Roberts and family and the value of this type of citizenship to the community. In point of residence they were among the oldest, and in point of quality among the very best of the citizens of Timmins. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts and family were groupâ€" ed and cheered again and â€" again. There was repeated singing of ‘‘They Are Jolly Good Fellows.‘‘ Sincerest good wishes for many more anniverâ€" saries were extended to the happy young couple. Mr. Roberts made brief but apt reply, saying he could hardly believe that the talk had meant him, but thanking all for their kind‘ wishes. +
