G. Carson, Geo. S. Drew and R. Richardson present. The session was a brief but busy one, with many imâ€" portant items of business dealt with. A letter was received from the secreâ€" tary of the Timmins Boards of Trade forwarding a resolution passed by that body asking the council to provide suitable quarters here for the holding of Division Court. The Board of Trade thought that the holding of Division Court here would be of much conveniâ€" ence and advantage to Timmins merâ€" chants and others using the court. Mayor Longmore explained how the court came to be moved from here. The judge had objected to the noise at the court here when it was held at the council chambers here. Certain changes had been made in the hopes of meetâ€" ing the judge‘s wishes in the matter, but after the changes the judge still found the court room unsatisfactory. The only other alternative was to rent a hall for the use of the court. Whethâ€" | Harris and MacKeen, Toronto, Successâ€" ful Tenderers for Town Debentures. Other Council Business.

The family in quesâ€" tions were so ocnvinced of the validity of the whole business that no warning would be heeded. "Believe anything you like, but don‘t send any money," was the advice of the The Advance.

There were said to be tens of thousands of these "heirs" lined up, so even a small contribution from each meant a large amount in the aggregate. At the trial in Toronto, C. J.

Mason added that of the aâ€" mount paid into the association the accounts showed Baker to have paid $150,500 to Seligsohn in Pittsburg, while $15,652 was used by the accused for exâ€" penses. | Timmins People Thought They Might Be Wealthy above interesting illustrated bookiet \a me Your Key to Happiness Mr. Schanche is an active member of the Canadian Society of Forest Enâ€" gineers, the Ontario Forestry Board. the Society of American Foresters and the Woodlands Section of the Canaâ€" dian Pulp and Paper Association.
