Timmins Junior Hockey Club Getting Ready for Season DFFIGERS ELECTEO FOR CORNISH WECOME C ROAD ROLLER TRIED, BUT WEATHER UNFAVOURABLE. Dance to be Held Saturday at South Porcupine by New Club. Other Items from South Porcupine During the past week or two the town engineering department has been trying out the plan of running a heavy road rolier over the roads to make the streets passable for automobile traffic. This plan has been tried in some towns with similar snowfall to Timmins. If the plan would work it would be much more ecoromical than snow ploughing, as well as quicker and more convenient. The tractor the big road roller and the operation of the scheme is easy enough. Howâ€" ever, the weather has prevented it being possible to say whether the plan has worked or not. To give a proper test the rolling would have to be done in a more or less soft spell, and then it is necessary to have it cold and dry, for a proper tryâ€"out. The exâ€" rience here, however, has been that still softer spell followed the soft spell during which the most of the rolling was done. No doubt, though, there will be lots of opportunities to try the scheme out thoroughly before the winter is over. So far as it went, Special music by Bridges‘ orechestra. Come and have a good time.

Two representatives of the Bell Telephone Co. were in Timmins reâ€" cently, but their presence here was explained by one official of the local companies by the suggestion that the sell men were simply on a friendly visit. The rumours, however, persist, despite the lack of official confirmaâ€" tion of any kind. Street talk goes so far as to say that the Bell has an option on the old Queen‘s Cafe proâ€" perty, opposite the Poreupine Power Telephone Co. offices, on the corner of Pine street and Second avenue. (One man, not connected in any way with any of the telephone companies, but believing that he had inside inâ€" formation, said that all the Bell Teleâ€" phone Co. was waiting for was to receive approval from the T. N. 0. in regard to a propO%al to take over the railway company‘s telephone line. On the other hand it is said that the T. N. 0. would not sell their phone line under any cirecumstances, and that the Bell Telephone Co‘s plan is simply to buy out the Poreupine Teleâ€" phone Co. and the Temiskaming Teleâ€" phone Co. and take over the North Land business in that way. _ Until there is a definite announcement by the companies concerned there will be no definite knowledge of what is going on or if there is anvthing under way.

Gibson Has Uncomfortable Experience. Louis Arquette Held on Charge, After Telling Police That He Too was Held Up. At about 8.45 . last night Mr. G. A. (Grbsonr, while on his way home to the Hollinger Townsite, had an uncomâ€" fortable experience. He was stopped by a man who thrust a gun against his stomach and told him he would drill a hole through him unless he handed over his money. The holdâ€"up man took all that Mr. Gibson happenâ€" ed to be carrying, which was only about three dollars at the time. With the gun pressed against him, Mr. GHibson felt there was nothing to do but let the holdâ€"up man have his way, but he took a very good look at his assailant and was able to give the police a detailed description of the man, not only as to his clothes but as to his general appearance. â€" Better still, Mr. Gibson trailed the man, and eventually lost track of. The deâ€" seription was so complete, however, that the police had an idea who to look for, suspicion falling on account of a slight lameness and other perâ€" sonal touches in the deseription on Louis â€"Arquette. While the police were looking for him, Arquette walkâ€" ed into the station himself, As soon as he came in view, Mr. Gibson pointâ€" ed him out as the man who had held him up. Arquette told the police that he had been held up on Fifth avenue and robbed of $2.00, but Mr. Gibson was so sure of his man that a warrant was issued and Arquette taken in charge. No money and no gun was found on him. The man doing the holdâ€"up wore an overcoat, which Arâ€" quette did not when he came to the station, but witnesses are said to have ST.

Arrangements are now under way to have the noted Indian Hockey team from the Temagami Reserve come to Timmins on Monday, Dee. 26th to play an exhibition game with the Timâ€" mins Juniors. The Temagami Indian Hockey team has gained quite a repuâ€" tation as a speedy hockey aggregaâ€" tion, and as the Timmins Jumnmiors are down to practice now and showing up well, this game, if it materializes, should be of especial interest and well worthawvatching.. If the arrangements are completed satisfactorily, particuâ€" lars as to the game will be duly anâ€" nounced in The Advance. The presâ€" ent plans are to have the Indian team play the Timmins Juniors here on Dec. 26th, and this date being generâ€" ally observed this year as a holiday, would likely mean a specially large crowd. _ The Timmins Junmiors this season promise to make a particularly good showing, having considerable talâ€" ent and getting down to practice early in the season and with the determinaâ€" tion to do their best.

V alois The Mountjoy Township Conservaâ€" tive Association met at 131 Wilson avenue on Saturday evening last. There was a good attendance and the meeting was of great interest.

In many such areas of this North Land, the children had to go without the necesâ€" sary education, or the parents had to abandon their farms for town life. The action of the Government in esâ€" tablishing the Correspondence Courses was of great value in extendâ€" ing to all the benefits of education. The Correspondence Courses are workâ€" ing well, and the Government, and especially Hon. G.
