Boyle‘s Rink Wins the Pilsworth Trophy. _ Band Concerts Please All. H. M. Wilson, Mrs. Dipaolo, Miss Burns and many others. Wednesday and Thursday were South Poreupine, Ont., March 31st, 1926. Special to [The Advance. Mr. S. Sky returned from a busiâ€" ness trip to Toronto on Monday. Mrs. Rapkin and two children of Portage La Prairie, are visiting her sister, Mrs. M. Verner, Bruce Ave. On Easter Sunday, there will be Communion in the Anglican Church at 8 a.m. and then again at 11 a.m. We are pleased to learn that Miss Florence Michaelson of the Dome is now improving after a sevenâ€"week‘s seige of ilIness. There seems to. be a very. general epidemic of La Grippe in town, among those on the sick list being Messrs M. Smith, Allan Sheppard, R. Gordon, Art. Ewing, Andy MceGinnp, Mrs. D. Deacon, Mrs. H. MceGinn, Mr. iA t England On Wednesday, March 24th, the Home and School Club held its reguâ€" lar meeting. _ The chief part of the evening was taken up with the public speaking of Miss Shaw‘s Entrance Class. The judges were Mrs. H. Wilâ€" son, Mrs. Sharpe and Miss Hodgins, and although each marked separately and on three different points, viz: material, deportment and delivery, and pronunciation, the contest was very close and until the announcement of the judges decision no one could say who were the winners. _ Each child was allowed to choose his or her own subject, get all the informaâ€" tion he wished, but the method of composition must be his own.. The topics chosen were surely of a varied nature. Gladys Gibbons told of **A Trip to England‘‘; Jim Baker‘s theme was ‘(‘The El Dorado of Ontario,‘‘ and Jim‘s fund of information re Red Lake would have been the envy of the ordinary prospector; Hazel Nichol gave an interesting sketch of South Poreupine from its earliest beâ€" ginning to the present; Annie Verâ€" ner‘s topic was ‘‘Superstitions‘‘; Beatrice Dowzer told of ‘*How India became an Empire"‘; Harry Martin described the wonders of the Wembley Exhibition; Jean Wright‘s story of ‘"‘Famous Inventions‘‘ was very inâ€" structive; Thomasena Boyle talked on ‘"The Man in the Moon"‘‘ but proved this to be really a fable; Mona Laâ€" Forest‘s subject was *‘‘Insects.‘"‘ The prizeâ€"winners were as follows:â€"ist, Hazel Nichol; 2nd Jean Wright; 3rd, Jim Baker; 4th, Mona LaForest. The last was‘ a special prize donated by Mrs. Sharp. (The next evening will be for the Kindergarten Class, but this was the last of the serres on public speaking. Mr. Ack. Teevin, popular hockey player, left Monday for his home in Toronto. At the United Church on Easter Sunday there will be a service at 11 a.m. in the morning as well as the regular evening service. _ Special llaster music is being prepared by the choir for each service. Capt. Johns, of the Dome, this week received the news of the death of a muchâ€"loved aunt at Helston, Bornâ€"to Mr. and Mrs. A. Bennett, Dome Lake, on Sunday, March 14thâ€" a son. Mr. and Mrs. Lester children are guests of M i1Ison. Among those leaving on Tuesday‘s train for Red Lake, where they are to enter the employ of theâ€" Dome Mines, in that district, are Messrs W. A. Hutchinson, and Lorne Orr. â€" Mr. Hutchinson is to be assayer at the new mine. ' There is a movement on foot: to form a joint stock company, capitalâ€" ized at $15,000 for the purpose of buildinz a new enclosed skating rink for South Poreupine. At a meeting of ratepayers called for this purpose, Mr. Miles Clark was made chairman of a Finance Committee to look after same. We understand this committee has already met with a very satisfacâ€" tory response. On Easter Monday a dance is being put on by the Rink Committee in the new School Hall, the proceeds to go towards the new rink. If this event proveées a succeess financially it is proâ€" bable a series of dances under the same auspices will be given throughâ€" out the summer. With the interest in skating and bockey that is evinced by this part of Camp, an enclosed rink is almost a necessity and it is eratifyving to know that no longer may we have to stand in the snow watching a hockey mateh * all het up"" with excitement inwardly but fingers, toes and nose erackling with cold in the icy breeze. Mr. A. Lambert, of the Dome, has accepted the position of chief accounâ€" tant at the‘ Ankerite. Mrs. Lambert and four children left this week for a visit to the father and mother in Sudbury and will later join Mr. Lamâ€" bert at the Ankerite.

On both nights Miss Betty Patterson of Timmins, won laurels as an elocuâ€" for ful but her many friends here will be | l 0 1immIins, WwOn daSs dAll C1OUCLUâ€" , tionist. Misses Margaret Easton and Maisie Roberts delighted all with their artistic dancing on Wednesday. Mr. Pyper favoured the audience with one of his fine tenor solos and on Thursday Miss <+~Mair sang wery sweetly, ‘‘Smiling Through.‘‘ The fact that these Timmins artists had so courteously come out to help make these concerts a success was much appreciated by the audience. Mr. G. H. MeKinley has gone to Toronto and the States for a holiday. The â€"South Poreupine Dramatic Club have decided upon *‘Mary‘s Millions,"‘‘ a comedy in three acts, for their next production. The young people of the town paid a surprise visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfrid Deacon on Saturâ€" day evening. All enjoyed a happy social time. Mr. Wm. Haley left this week for iouyn after spendmu a few days reâ€" newing acquaintances in town. Mrs. Mae. Black, who was formerly Miss Baxter of the teaching staff in South Poreupine, is at present very ill in the Cobalt Hospital. She has been there for over two months and a while her recovery was doubtâ€" gladato know that she is now making zood progress and splendid hopes are entertained for her complete recovery. The cause was first pyrrohea, then an attack of "‘flu‘‘ while in a weakened condition.â€" Her three small children Mr. A. L. Moore has returned. after spending some time in Toronto and points south. It is possible that arrangements may be made to have Mr,. Henry J. Moore give one of his famous talks on ‘*Horticulture‘" in South Poreupine. When his series of talks were enlightening and scvoral who had not clearly understood. wiat was aone there, at that lisS‘e towa i2 Switzerâ€" land, the land of treaty makers from Oct. 5th to 16th, 1925, must have had their view made clearer. The article clearly explained how the Rhineland pact had to be made first, whereby (Germany and France agreed hereafter to settle their disputes by arbitration. The other treaties revolving as it were around this keyâ€"treaty were also explained. _ One especial benefit reâ€" ceived from this Locarno Conference is said to be the turning of Germany from an alliance which the Soviet reâ€" gime in Russia particularly wished. (On Monday evening at the Younsz People‘s Social and Literary Club, Mrs. Barry sang, **Just Her Way." with that charm that always wins the listener, then, as an encore was inâ€" sisted upon, rendered an appealing lullaby. Miss MaeDonald as **Aunt Nabby * who never complained, was a particularly good number in elocuâ€" tion while Mrs. Bain‘s reading of *‘*London from an Omnibus,"‘‘ was inâ€" teresting to all but particularly so to those who knew the locations. Mrs. M.

The acting was if any thing better than at the former presentation which is saying a very creat deal. This is the kind of play that makes one tenderly reminiscent of the happy days that erandmother told us about. _ The Ladies‘ Guild are certainly to be congratulated for the excellence and success of this performance. Besides those menâ€" tioned as being of special merit beâ€" fore, the parts taken by Mesdame: GHibbons, McGinn, Blood and Jeacles gave splendid support to the central figures of the play. Mrs, Londry, as Mrs. Highborn, looked the part very much, being the embodiment of digâ€" nity. During the first acts George Starling proved himself to be a bird of an actor but there is no use our ‘‘cerowing‘‘ over what George could do, for in the last act he did plenty of that himself when he became that barnâ€"yard soloist, The Rooster. Beâ€" tween the acts, Messrs Lowry and Groves put on o cleverlyâ€"acted sketch, entitled ‘*The Irish Emigrant,‘‘ and little Dora Sharp‘s fine voice deâ€" lighted everybody when she sang ‘*This Letter is for My Papa."‘ W hen Her three ; are at the home of them Mrs. R.

If so, no lover of flowers, should miss this lectureas Mr. Moore‘s knowledge of plants and their ways is known far and wide. In the semiâ€"finals for the Pilsworth Trophy, Hogg won from Rowe 11â€"10, and Bovie won from Fairhurst 9â€"4, on Monday, March 29th. WThe finals between Boyle‘s rink and Hogg‘s were played the next night. _ Boyle winning in a score of 9â€"7. _ Those playing in each rink were:â€"Boyle, skip; Sullivan, viceâ€"skip; Lamothe, 1st lead and Mcelnnis 2nd. Hogg‘s rink consisted of W. D. Pearee, viceâ€" skip; Grewcoe, lead; Laforest 2nd. and Hogg, skip. This handsome trophy now remains in Mr. Boyle‘s possession for one year and each player of the winning rink receives a silver shied mounted on an ebony base, engraved and suitable for hanging on the wall. This trophy will again be contested for next ye The Spring Assizes for this disâ€" trict open at Cochrane on Tuesday next, April 6th, with Mr. Justice Kelly presiding.

MAGONS WIN BASKETBALL COMPFTITION AND CUP ‘*‘The large buek wolf, the one who lost his life because he could not outâ€" walk a man on snowshoes had a more harrowing experience, as he lost life last winter through the expert huntâ€" ing tactics employed by Mr. Jim Schreyver, a Timmins old timer, and now caretaker of Kipawa dam. ‘‘«Mr. Schreyer sold the pelt of this great beast to the brave hunters, also sufficient quantity of hay to stuff the hide, so as to give it a more lifeâ€" like appearance, pfastic, I think they call it in Movie parlance, and had their photos taken with this slavering killer over their duxbak shoulders. ‘*As for hardships, they were nice and snug in the up to date hunting and fishing camp operated by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Arnott, old timers, of Lake Temiskaming, and well liked and reâ€" spected by all who come in contact with them."‘‘ Tinal in Senior Series of Basketball on Tuesday Evening This Week maintained a killing pa«d entire game. â€" Tait for 1 head and shoulders ab mates..

CLAIM TO HAVE WALKED WOLF T0 DEATH RECGENTLY ‘‘Now the true facts of this big game expedition into the wilds of Quebec are quite at variance with the story told of untold hardships etc. as the two tenâ€"monthsâ€"old wolf ecubs were purchased from Mr. J. Marceau of Fabre who caught them last fall, along with several others, and tamed them so that they were like puppies in their playfulness and mock feroâ€" city. ‘"It is the story of two intrepid Big (Game hunters from Brooklyn, N.

Again, this district covering thouâ€" sands of miles is as geologically proâ€" mising as Poreupine. It has never been prospected, never been even mapped. Who can tell what wealth may be covered by this artificial lake? Are the millions of feet of timber an cords of pulpwood to stand unharâ€" vested for lack of power or of means of water transport? There is no reaâ€" son why North Ontario and Patricia should not repeat the history of the Northâ€"eastern part of the Proâ€" The Lae Seul area can furnish from 150,000 to 200,000 h.p. By the proâ€" posed plan it will be converted into a hugeâ€"lake, whose waters will be transferred to the United States and Southern Canada to furnish power and other services to those who have no rightful elaims upon it. What About Red Lake. What will the Red Lake district do for the power with its millions of potential wealth? It is only 80 miles in direct line from Lac Seul waters. 19r. . follows The Ogokiâ€"Albany Diversion (By Dr. J. B. MacDougall) Theâ€"question of the diversion of waters from the Hudson Bay waterâ€" shed to that of the Great Lakes is one that is more important than a casual survey would suggest and is fraught with farâ€"reaching consequences which it is worth while to canvass. This proposal was unheard of till the lowering of the Great Lakes by the Chicago diversion took acute form. It may therefore be taken for granted that it bears a definite relation to this condition, and the suggestion is looked upon as a way of escape from a serious international complication which both parties may be expected to welcome. That would mean that Canada may be induced to condone a gigantic steal of which she is the chief victim if she can only compensate herself by drawâ€" ing on her own resources where the disastrous result will not be immeâ€" diately felt. If Canada herself will remain silent if the Province of Onâ€" tario will stand complacently by, it is surely the duty of Northern Ontario, whose future is bheing sacrificed, to enter timely and vigorous protest against any action in this direction. Only Two Arguments From Ontario‘s viewpoint there can be but two arguments in its Ffavour, viz. (1) to help maintain the Great Lakes levels, (2) to give added power at the Nipigon outlet. The second is the only vital arguâ€" ment that can weight du'e(tl\ with Northern Ontbario. But is the power not ample for present and future needs in that area? Cameron Falls may have reached its maximum develâ€" opment at 75,000 h.p. but this total is not yet called for. There are still two powers of large magnitude, Point Alexander and Virgin Falls. These, with the present de\elopment and that on the Kaministiquia River will take care of any demands that arf likely to be made for years to comée. Would Kill the Albany. What will be the effect on the develâ€" opment of the Hudson Bay slope? The Albany is one of the great streams of the continent. It was a trade route long before the St. Lawrence, It might again become the source of an immense industrial development along its entire course. ~But this diversion will completely extinguish it as a navigation and power stream. The question arisesâ€"Is Jt necesâ€" sary to either end? It is not requirâ€" ed for the maintengnee of lake levels if Chicago is made to conform with international _ treaties. AJnerlcan Courts have passed upon the isstie #nd have supported the Canadian contenâ€" tion. â€" The American Legislature is not likely overâ€"ride their own courts.

Let us not seout its value because it is unknown and unexplored. It is evident then that so gigantic an nndertaking fraught with such forâ€" reaching consequences, should be fully investigated before it is launched. Nature has been lavish in her gifts to the cities on the great inland seas. Surely they do not need to make lands and waters, that the Creator never counted on, pay tribute to them and rob coming nations of their rightâ€" ful heritage which He designed for their peculiar use. Summary of Arguments To sum up: (1). It is an axiom of natural law that the course of flowing water shall not be altered to the detriment of rival rights in that water. This is true from the farm creek to the great navigable waterways of the world. (2). The diversion of the entire waters of a watershed is a colossal crime against the area which owns that watershed by rights that date back to the beginning of time, (3). The Albany River is an hisâ€" toric highway of trade, older than the St. Lawrence and the cyele of time will some day restore its vanished prestige.

The immense natural resources of the country in minerals, timber, and pulpwood are wholly dependent on those waters for «levelopment. (5). It would be a dastardly crime 1inst her own future citizens it Ontario should conspire to rob her progeny and share the spoils with a foreign power. (6). The land that produces the water lhas primacy of claim and no power or combination of powers, national or international has any risht to alienate that possession.

To be fully appreciatâ€" ed they must be seen. To start out on a trip one‘s self into this unâ€" familiar but far famed paradiseâ€"onâ€" earth, to many appears quite a task. Realising® this, Dean Sinelair Laird, of Macdonald College, an experienced Rocky Mountains traveller, for the third year in succession, has underâ€" taken to conduct a party through this glorious wonderland. EJ Returning, the trip will be by the main line of the Canadian Pacific, through the great canyons of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers, and through the Selkirks, and Rockies, afâ€" fording scenery such as can be found nowhere else on earth; Lake Louise, the pearl of the Rockies, the most perfect gem of scenery in the world; another day at Banff, Edmonton, the capital of Alberta; Saskatoon the city of optimism; Devils Gap Camp, on the Lake of the Woods, near Keâ€" nora, thence to Fort William, where one of the fine Canadian Pacific steamers will be used across Lakes Superior and Huron to Port MeXiâ€" coll, then rail to Toronto, where the trip will terminate. STORY TELLING A FEATURE AT THE KIWANIS LUNCHEON The Kiwanis Cub luncheon on Tuesday of this week was a specialâ€" ly interesting one, the big feature beâ€" ing the storyâ€"telling contest.
