The formal dedication services of the United Church, Timmins, were conducted on Thursday evening last by the Presbytery of Cochrane,.

Baine, of South Poreupine; Rev. Wm. Farmer, of Connaught ; Rev.F. J. Vowles, Iroâ€" quois Falls. Rev. J. D. Byrnes, D.D., Superintendent of Home Missions for Ontario, was the presiding minister. Rev.

TO DEVELOP PLAGER GOLO FIELOS N THE SPRING The Advance understands that Mr. W. Ferguson, one of the owners of the Warrenâ€"Ferguson claims in Keeâ€" fer and Hillary Townships, has reâ€" turned from China where he was in the employ of the British Governâ€" ment. It is understood that Mr. Ferguson is now engaged in organâ€" izing a company to assure finances for the carrying on of an extensive programme of development and operâ€" tion of the placer gold claims owned by Messrs Warren and Ferguson. Work will be taken up actively in the spring and pushed along. _ Mr. Ferguson is an oldâ€"time placer miner and is sure that the Keefer and Hilâ€" lary placer fields are going to prove unusually good. Mr. Hugh L. Warâ€" ren, the other partner, is one of the pioneer prospectors of the Poreupine, and he is equally confident of the sueâ€" cess of the placer fields near Timâ€" mins. In any event, it is now fully expected that the placer find will be fully and fairly tested out and deâ€" veloped, work starting with the earliest opening of spring. ) css d R. S. Cushing. Rev, M. H. Hall read Psalm 84. Hymn No. 322, ‘‘Jesus, where‘er Thy People Meet.‘‘ was simhg by the congregation. The Presiding Minister, Rev. J. D.

Moore, the wellâ€"known and highly esteemed old resident, trapper and explorer of this district, believes he has discovered a big deposit of the china clay. He made the find south of Wawaitin and he says there is an immense bed of the substance. He has staked two claims and some little work has been done. The white clay seemes to be all over the land in the district. Mr. Moore has dug pits five and six feet deep, but the clay is of the same even quality and whiteâ€" ness no matter how deep the trenches are sunk. The quality of the clay seems to be of unusual uniformity in colour and quality.

Last The Young People‘s Club held a very successful debate on Tuesday night. There was"a large gathering quite a number of the older people coming out also to hear the opinions on Resolved ‘‘That it is the cost of high living not the high cost of livâ€" ing that makes living high.‘‘ The affirmative side was very valiantly upheld by Miss Dowsett and John Fell, Jr., and the negative by Mrs. *M. Smith and Rev. F. Bain. The negative side won by a very slight margin but the affirmative debaters were certainly to be congratulated on the strength of their arguments, but as it was their first experience they were not quite so apt in rebutting the arguments of the opponents. and free from all grit ®r other imâ€" purities. Mr. Moore is having the clay analysed and tested out. Several specimens have been brought to town where local people interested have experimented with them. They resâ€" pond in attractive way to oven treatâ€" ment and seem to be of superior qualâ€" ity china clay. One mining engineer, however shown the samples, thought they were not china clay, but a type of gypsum. Others, however, point out that the clay has all the attriâ€" butes of china clay of high quality. The question is to be definitely deâ€" cided at once. If the find is one of china clay and the beds are as exâ€" tensive and as deep as they appear to be, the deposit is then an unusuâ€" ally valuable one. INTERESTING DEBATE AI SQUTH PDRCUPINE GLUB Rev.

ROUYN NOT A WILO ANU WOOLLY GAMP, THEV SAY Visitors from Rouyn express indigâ€" nation at the article recently pubâ€" lished in The North Bay Nugget as to conditions and morality at Rouyn. The article grossly exaggerates the evils at the new camp, they affirm, though admitting that Rouyn is not so much like a Sunday Scehool as the Poreupine Camp was in its early days. Visitors from the New Camp Indigâ€" nant at Reports Published. "‘There was never as clean a mining camp as Poreupine,"‘‘ they say, *‘ but that is no reason to expect all the other camps to be as quiet and lawâ€" abiding. There are improvements that might be made at Rouyn, but it 18 surel) not so bad as it is painted in the ‘wild despatch sent out from Cobalt."‘ Tuesday, December 15th, at 8 p.m. sharp, there will be the Sleigh Ride Party of the St. Matthew‘s Social Club.

Election Monday Results in Return of Mayor and all the Old Council in the Field. School Trustees Also Reâ€" turned. Councillor Longmore Heads the Poll for Third The municipal elections on Monday resulted in the complete vindication and endorsement by the electors of the present Mayor, Councillors and School ‘Trustees. The electors very decidedly expressed their opinion that it was not ‘‘time for a change.‘‘ The vote was the largest ever polled in a municipal election in Timmins, over 1,800 voters exercising their franchise. This is about 600 more votes than cast at the last election in 1923, for the 1924 Council. The vote Monday was nearly as large as that cast in the recent Dominion election here. The interest and excitement were equal if not greater _ than shown in the Domâ€" inion contest. All day long workers were busy bringing voters out to the polls, and the activity resembled genâ€" erally that of a very keenlyâ€"conâ€" tested Dominion or Provincial conâ€" test. While over 1800 voters exerâ€" cised their franchise, it may be noted that there are about 6,300 names on the list. Of this latter number, howâ€" ever, close to 2,000 were automatically disfranchised by view of the fact that their taxes were not paid. A large number paid their taxes on Monday so as to be able to exereise their franchise. Dr. MceInnis is reâ€"elected Mayor for the eighth successive term. His maâ€" jority over G. H. Gauthier was 393, and his majority over his two oppoâ€" nerts combined was 260. In the contests for seats ‘at the Council, all the old Councillors in the field were returned. The new memâ€" ber of Council is Dr. Joyal, who reâ€" places Mr. F. M. Wallingford, who retired this year from municipal afâ€" fairs. Councillor Longmore headed the poll again with a vote thatâ€" indiâ€" cates the high confidence of the elec tors. â€" This is the third time Mr. Longmore has headed he poll. In the only other municipal election he was in he was a elose second to the top of the poll. PS P ces «n One visitor from Rouyn says that he knows for a fact that ‘‘every‘"‘ house is not a blindâ€"pig as suggested for on one occasion he had to try seven places before he was able to spear a drink. . He was a stranger then. . The fact no doubt is that Rouyn is a little free and easy, but not as wild by any means as suggestâ€" ST. MATTHEW‘S SOCIAL CLUB ‘"SLEIGH RIDE‘‘ TUESDAY. Mrs. M. E. Graham, of Winnipeg, left toâ€"day for her home, after a week‘s visit with her sister, Mrs. Bell, and her niece, Mrs. C. Keddie. The large vote polled by Dr. Mcâ€" Innis and the Councillors elected conâ€" stituted emphatie answer by the electors to the campaign ery, "‘It is time for a change.‘‘ With the enâ€" dorsation given, the Mayor and Counâ€" cil for 1926 may carry on with the feeling that the electors are with them, and Mayor, Council and people may work together, all together, for Never has there been as much inâ€" terest in a municipal election here. The election has shown that the great majority of the people are strongly behind the present Mayor ard Council and School Trustees. Instead of a clean sweep out, as a few predicted, it was a clean sweep in again. W )r. Mclanis Mayor of Timmins Eighth Successive Term Time. T. N.0.

TIMMINS RINK LIKELY TO OPEN THIS WEEKâ€"END WOMAN BROUGHT BACK FROM FORT WILLIAM ON CHARGHE, a charge of theft preferred against her by her husband who resides in Timmins. Mrs. Rossi left here some months ago, and the charge against her is that she took away with her a quantity of goods the property of the husband, and against his will and without his knowledge. _ Mrs. Rossi is ill at present, but was given preâ€" liminary hearing this morning. ‘The case was remanded until 4 o‘clock this afternoon. The goods taken are said to include $300.00 in cash, a diaâ€" mond ring, linen bedspread valued at $300.00, and other articles of value. Mrs. Rossi pleaded not guilty, and the disposition of the case may be deferred until she is recovered again. the best interests of the town. Inevitably, with so many good men in the field, some good men had to be left at home. However all in the contest made a good showing, and as suggested by The Advance last week Timmins has a firstâ€"class Mayor and Council for 1926. The following are the elected :â€" Mayorâ€"Dr. J. A.

North Bay lads are playing at Iroquois Falls on Saturday the 19th and here on the Monday, 21st. While on the way from South Poreuâ€" pine on Friday evening about six o‘clock, Mr. P. M. Bardessono, one of the owners of the Empire Hotel and the Empire and Goldfields Theaâ€" tres, met with a serious acceident, from which, however, he is now practically recovered. In turning out to allow another car to go by, he brought his own car too ‘near the ditch at the side of the road at the Rea Hill, and the big car turned turtle into the ditch. Mr. Bardessono was pinned under the car and it was fully threeâ€" quarters of an hour before he was rescued from this serious position. The occupants of the passing car did all they could to assist as soon as they noted that an accident had ocâ€" curred, but they were unable to exâ€" tricate Mr. Bardessono. It took several men to move the heavy car so that the imprisoned man could be released. Mr. Bardessono was hurâ€" ried to the Timmins General Hospital where it was found that he was sufâ€" fering from several nasty cuts and bruises but fortunately had sustaimede no serious injury. He was later taken to his home in tftown where he is making the best recovery. In addiâ€" tion to several bad cuts and bruises he is suffering from the severe shock sustained through the accident and the long time he was pinned beneath the overturned car. One of his Boston bullâ€"terriers was in the car with him at the time of the accident and was also injured in the overturning of the big cear. The narrowness of the new highway, and the fact that the car skidded as it was turned out for the approaching car were the causes of the accident. There was a meeting of those inâ€" terested in Junior Hockey last week, and Junior Hockey has been placed on a thoroughly sound basis.

The candidates for this district were Roy Hardy and Rupert Donaldson, who happen to be cousins.
