' Among the many visits that Santa made to South Poreupine durâ€" ing the festive season the most largeâ€" ly attended was the occasion of his visit to Mr. 8. Sky‘s store. Here he was greeted by some five hundred or more children from town and the surrounding country. He presented each with a bag of nuts and candy which Mrns. Sky and staff had helped him to get ready. The kiddies were ushered in through the Gents‘ Furâ€" nishing Dept. and greeted by Santa as they entered the Womens‘ and Childâ€" ren‘s Dept., then left, five at a time, by the door leading from that store to the street. Quite a number of adults also viewed the happy procesâ€" sion. Mr. and Mrs. Sol Sky have alâ€" ways been among the foremost to help in any progressive or patriotic moveâ€" ment in the town and this visit of Santa Claus is one more instance of this worthy couple‘s publicâ€"spiritedâ€" ness. As a community we are proud of such citizens. The Christmas tree and entertainâ€" ment on the 23rd at the United Churech was a decided succeess. Much credit is due to Mrs. Bain, Mr. Childs and their staff of workems for the inâ€" teresting programme put on. After the Opening Chorus and prayer there was a Chorus ‘‘Napoleon‘s Army‘" by some girls from the Dome. They were a motley of varied expressions from the googleâ€"eyed to the oneâ€"eyed soldier and no one could be sure whether the army was coming or goâ€" ing till the close of thke song and a rightâ€"aboutâ€"face proved the singers to be Misses Irene Armstrong, Meta Melville, Irene Rove, Norma McePhail and Jennie Doran. After recitations by Ethel Cunningham and Beatrice MacDonald and a duet by Wilson and Alice Berry there was a comic chorus,‘‘The Christmas Shopâ€" pers,"‘‘ in which Homer Melntosh, Jack MceiInnis, Viector Hanberry, Gorâ€" ast Year‘s Dolls,‘‘ Marion Mcâ€" ens, GHlenna Strain, Newsham Hanâ€" l‘ rry and Marry Mcelntosh looked +fery limpy, battered and sworn.

Then came a band of fifteen tiny girls dressed as angels and led by Ada Wilson with a harp. These all grouped around the Manger and sang their songs of prame. It was so that different® colored lights played on the seene durmg the gacting and the Sunday School choir also sang ‘Christmas hymns. The whole effect was very pleasing.

A box of excelsior from which a Christmas present had been unpacked had been deft near the stove and it is supposed a spark had in some manner got into it.

As it is, there was little damage exceept to the walls of the one room and that cavised by water in different parts of the Block.

At the Nominations for Tisdale township the following were nominatâ€" ed foprReeve:â€" Among the newlyâ€"nominated counâ€" cillors who ispoke breifly were F. Laforest, G. Melntosh, J. MceGregor, H. Owens and John Robertson. The majority of them congratulated the council on the work done during 1925. A few critieisms were offered by J. MeGregor, one being the lateness of the taxâ€"bills this year. This, the Reeve explained, was due to the inâ€" ability to ctrike a rate, pending the appeal from the assessment of some Oof their power lines, situated within Alexander H. Boyle by A. Bucovetsky and G. Melntosh Mr. Ctallagher received sevoral other nominations besides those mentioned. Messrs. Gallagher, Sullivan and S. Kennedy withdrew leaving the field to H.

Helmer, K. A. Deacon, D. Kerr, W. G. Harris, H. E. Owens, P. Cooner, John Robertson, H. Boyle. Keen Contest Promised for Tisdale Reeve and Council non When the nominations were closed Mr. Geo. Cole was elected as man of the meeting and upon taking his place he made the remark that he would not limit the time â€"of the speeches but allow the old couneil to talk themselves to death and the new ones to talk themselves into position. Reeve Gallagher was first to speak. He spoke of the various achievements of the present council, among them the foremost being the waterworks, and also the road from Timmins to South Poreupine which was acquired with a minimum of cost to Tisdale. He thought that possibly something could be done by making arrangements with the municipality of Timmins and doing something re lights and telephone during the coming year. He explained how the income taxes collected at the Dome were higher than those collected from Hollinger employees owing to the fact that the Hoilinger people came under the laws for towns, Timmins being incorporâ€" ated as such while the Dome and Mcâ€" Intyre game under township rates as apart of Tisdale. G. Helmer, minated by BE Deacon. K. A. Deacor, South Poreupine, nominated by C. B. Morgan and H.. E. Owens John Robertson, Dome Mines, noâ€" minated by Frank Horne and S. Kenâ€" nedy, works system was working satisfactâ€" orily in Schumacher and explained how the syistem used in South Poreuâ€" pine was one of the newest and most up to date. He also spoke of the introduction of the hospital here, and later, explained the audit that is made each year and defended the police force, Mtr. Geo. Helmer said that his reaâ€" son for going into municipal politics was to really find out things for himâ€" self and see how they were run. He said there was no such thing as a council that could suit everybody. He also mentioned that people should plan for thejrjxes from the 1st of January so as to lbe ready when the bills reallyvy came. The following have qualified and will stand for election on Jan. 4th :â€" Dr. N. H. Russell, South Poreupine, nominated by Frank Horne and S. Kennedy. also by others. G@. Helmer, South Poreupine, noâ€" minatéed by E. MacDonald and K. A. W G. Harris, Schumacher, nominâ€" ated by R. Sims and C. Young. Harry Owens, South Poreupine, nominated ‘by K. A. Deacon and S. Kennedy John Barron, Schumacher, nominâ€" ated by Frank Corris and J. MceGregor Mr. Mason of the Dome Mines who ha;s been a most conscientious counâ€" cillor for two years stated that he was now going to take a rest. Mr. Hugh Boyle, who has headed the poll for the Councillors‘ vote in the last two years, spoke briefly of some of the needs of the town and township, among them being the need of a proper fireâ€"alarm system which wais now being planned for instalâ€" ment, also the need of the Hospital which the W. M. S. of the Presbyâ€" terian Church chose to locate here This hospital he stated would be ready for occupancy about the middle of January. He also spoke of the need of more jchool accomodation at Schumacher or the western part of the township. He explained the method of estimating depletion on certain municipal property. Mr. D. Kerr told of how the inâ€" Mr. D. Kerr told of how the in crease in taxes would soon be counter balanced by a reduction in fire in surance rates. He sarid the water W 3010mon N. Kerr by Geo. Elliot C"V. Gallagher, by J Solomon. Kennedyv h rNU Hiv Horne and Jas. and D. Ganâ€" Shewan and Shewan and the township by some of the big comâ€" panies concerned. Until the Judge‘s decision was given on this assessment no correect rate could be struck. Hence the delay., The Judge upheld the Court of Revision and hence the taxes aceruing from same will make the township that much richer. Anâ€" other disputed point was an audit of the books being requested. It was clearly shownâ€" that the outâ€"going Council each year appointed an auditâ€" or. For 1926 the Edwards, Morgan Co. of Toronto will do the work for which they are to receive $300. It was also clearly shown that the placâ€" ing of the new hospital here was not an act wherein the council gave preâ€" ference to South Poreupine over Schumacher but that South Poreupine ish, the same, as I was told I would go crazy at Poreupine when I wanted Wilson to take us to the lakes west of Porcupine. After being told that I got mad and was going to quit if I were not allowed to go to the first two lakes. I was allowed to go evenâ€" tually and found what is toâ€"day called Bi@ Dome. HHGHT OFf LiNY THESRY 1 1969 ‘‘Having read in The Advance a story by Cyril T. Young that he has a new theory, and telling about the gold and mineral following the Height of Land, I wish to state that this is not new by any means, because I have been preaching and telling hundreds of prospecting and mining men for the past 16 years, ever since I discovered the Big Dome property. I wrote Mr. Young several years ago when he was at Foleyet Station, asking him about that part of Ontario. In my letter I drew his attention to the mineral folâ€" lowing the Height of Land, and that is the very reason I wrote him beâ€" cause the Height of Land is near there. Yes, I can produce hundreds who will tell anyone that I have menâ€" tioned this idea to them years ago, and many of them live in Timmins and South Poreupine, and a few minâ€" ing engineers and geologists among them. In the year 1912 I met Mr. J. T. Eastwood, stockbroker, of Toâ€" ronto, with a party of others on a hunting trip, and I had quite a conâ€" versation about mining ard I mentionâ€" ed this Height of Land idea to Mr. Eastwood and showed him all the camps where gold was being got were so close to the Height of Land. When Mr. Eastwood got to Toronto he pubâ€" lished a story about it in his weekly market letter and also had a .map showing it. I think I was the first man to take motice of this idea, and that was first in 1909, and I have heen! preaching about it ever since. I have even been told I was talking f:ml-!

Mr. H. A. Preston Writes to Prove Mr. Cyril T. Young‘s Idea is Not a New One. A icouple of week‘s ago The Adâ€" vance published a review of a booklet by Mr. Cyril T. Young.in which Mr. Young advanced the theory that the mineral belts of the. North Land have a decided relation to the Height of Land. â€" This week The Advance has received a letter from our old friend, Mr. H. A.
