Upon canvassing his prospects he was surprised to learn that the majority who resided in Timmins had already been sold. Anyway he kept up the good work but without success, evenâ€" tually meeting up with a slick member of the Timmins team who, after patiâ€" ently listening to the hard luck story of our man, sold him for five shares as a matter of consolation. Too bad, too bad! "Mac‘" our lucky nimrod has unlimâ€" bered his old muzzle loader. Looks like he‘s going to bring home the baâ€" con. Hurry up, Mac, while the mushâ€" rooms are aâ€"plenty." "N. Legare met with a painful acciâ€" dent on September 14th, while working in the bush. When trimming a tree his axe slipped inflicting a nasty wound on the foot, laying him up for a period of 13 days. "A record catch of fish was made on Sunday September 30th by two of our men, N. Legare and A. Mageau, but we are sorry to relate that the fish were caught during the operation of cleaning racks. All evidence «pointed to their having come down with the spring freshets. However, we have handed them over to our trapping genius "Mac‘ who claims that we have rendered him a great service in providâ€" ing these spicy morsels for his fox traps. "One of our veteran anglers was heard to remark in a melancholy tone of voice, "The blamed fish ain‘t got time to see your bait, takes ‘em all their time to keep right side up in this water." ‘"‘The month of September holds the record for rain and other adverse weaâ€" ther conditions in this locality. No records of our plant history for 16 years show such abnormal high water conditions for this time of the year. The CN.P.C.

The lads were Bogart and Cleâ€" ment Leslie, and they finished the aniâ€" mal with a couple of rifle shots. The skin is in fine condition and will be Ipreserved. The bear was a big one [and was in good condition, apparently | having lived well on the big berry crop ; the past summer. | _ _In a brief but effective address, Mr. Good, past president of the Sons of !England lodge, thanked all for their attendance and interest, and also the 'capable artists giving the programme l as well as all others who had in any way contributed to the success of the evening. Mr. Good livened his address by some humorous stories told in effecâ€" tive way. Special thanks was expressâ€" ed to Bro. Jennings, secretary of the ‘ Sons of England lodge, and to all others who had helped in the success l of the evening‘s programme. Mr. C. Roberts gave a very pleasing interpretation of ‘"Darling Nellie Gray," his fine tenor voice being heard to advantage. Mrs. W. Roberts playâ€" ed the piano accompaniment for this number. In the quartette, "I Passed by Your Window," Messrs Geils, Cowan, Thomypâ€" son and Kincaid, made a decided hit on merit and were given a very pronouncâ€" ed recall. They responded with a huâ€" morous little ditty that fairly brought daown the house. As usual Mr. Jas. Geils was a popuâ€" lar favourite with one of his sailor songs very effectively given. One of the extra specials for the evening was the cornet solo by Miss A. Pilkington. This young lady‘s playing of the cornet was much applauded. The duet, "Life‘s Dream is O‘er," by Mrs. Barrett and Mr. A. Jenkins, was much appreciated, the voices blending nicely and the selection being given with much talent and effectiveness.

Eastern Branches : London Montreal Hamilton Ottawa The vocal duet by Messrs Thomas and Roberts was one of the specially popular items on the programme, the call for an encore being very enthusiâ€" astic. Mrs. Roberts played the piano accompaniments. Little Miss M. Good won very inâ€" sistent applause by her recitation,â€"a very appropriate one for the day,â€""In Flanders‘ Fields." This little girl was given a very decided encore and was received equally well on her second apâ€" pearance. MALE AND FEMALE HELP WANTED EARN $25 to $50 PER WEEK Mrs. Barrett‘s singing of "Beloved," was one of the most pleasing numbers on the programme and delighted all. Mrs. Carroll played the piano accomâ€" paniments for this and the number given in response to the encore. One of the special features of the programme was the cornet solo by Mr. J. Lloyd, this cornet player showâ€" ing his skill and ability by the sucâ€" cess with which he presented a difficult but very attractive number. Mr. J. T. Heffernan also won an enâ€" core for his presentation of "Laugh, Clown, Laugh," a pleasing popular song well given. _ _An outstanding number on the proâ€" gramme was the vocal solo, "Joan of Arc," effectively given in fine voice by Miss Edna Good. Miss Good was very heartily encored and her respondâ€" ing number was equally pleasing. The opening number was a piano solo by Mr, N. Shone, whose talent as a planist was greatly appreciated. Councillor â€" Geo. S. Drew made a very capable chairman for the event Sunday evening, his stories and comâ€" ments being much appreciated. The programme itself was an excellent one and won very general appreciation, practically every number being enâ€" cored and all the scelections winning recalls on special merit. The Shelter Children were also guests of the Sons of England at concert on Sunday evening. There was a large attendance at the concert given by the Timmins lodge of the Sons of England in the Goldâ€" fields theatre on Sunday evening after the church services and the programme furnished was one of special exce}â€" lence. Indeed, the only disappointing feature of the occasion was the fact that the collection was very largely in nickels and dimes, the net proceeds being $24.04. The proceeds were deâ€" signed for the annual Christmas tree of the Sons of England, to which it is planned to invite all the children at the Shelter as the special guests of the lodge. The Shelter youngsters reâ€" member with much pleasure the fine time they had at the Sons of England picnic this past summer when they were the guests of the lodge and enâ€" joyed a wonderful time. PLEASING PROGRAMME AT GON§ OFf ENGLAND AVENT Large Crowd Enjoys fittmtive Vocal and Instrumental Numbers at Goldfields Theatre the the Most of the credit for the establishâ€" ment and operation of the departâ€" ment‘s wireless system is due to R. N. Johnson and C. A. Ward, forest enâ€" gineers, who conceived the sets now used, built them at Queen‘s Park, and located them where they now operate. These sets have a waveâ€"length of 40 metres. A 75â€"mile sending radius was estimated, but tests made this summer of the apparatus at the Temagami staâ€" tion revealed the astonishing fact that it could reach the Sioux Lookout staâ€" tion, approximately 600 miles distant. Messrs Johnston and Ward are at present experimenting with two types of sinmall portable sets, which, they beâ€" During 1927 the wireless sifations sent messages free of charge for any and all persons, but the burden of transmission eventually became sc heavy that on July 1, this year, a comâ€" mercial rate went into operation, affecâ€" ting every one except Government emâ€" ployees. The result has been that durâ€" ing the three months ending Septemâ€" ber, the stations collected $4,074 in tolls, $3,790 of which are credited to the stations that have now been selâ€" lected for an allâ€"winter service. The work being done by the Ontario Forestry Department in wireless is well worthy of special mention. In a reâ€" cent issue The Toronto Globe emphasâ€" ized this, saying that the wireless venture of the Forestry Branch is exâ€" panding tremendously. Launched in the spring of 1927 for the sole purpose of aiding foresters, fire rangers and the "aerial firemen" in their fight against bush fire., it has attained commerâ€" clalâ€"wide proportions, serving hundâ€" reds of people in the North and netâ€" ting to the departmental treasury a considerable revenue from the tolls charged. The four stations to be kept going all winter are Sioux Lookout, Goldâ€" pines, Woman Lake and Red Lake. Also it may be noted that arrangeâ€" ments have been made by the Ontario Government and the Canadian Naâ€" tional Railways whereby telegrams will be relayed to and from the mining fields of the Red Lake area by these four stations. It is understood that the Ontario Forestry Dept. will keep four of its wireless stations in the Red Lake area going all winter, this being suggested by the Dept. of Mines. The purpose is to keep the areas in the North in ready communication all winter, as they have been during the summer, with the outside world. It is easy to see the advantage of this plan from a dozen standpoints, and the Dept. of Mines and the Forestry Dept. deserve credit for the benefit thus given to the men who are in the far North on prosâ€" pecting and mining business and to the mining industry in general.
