Tuesday evening was not as large as the event deserved, the hockey matches that preceded and followed it no doubt interfering with the attendance. These nockey matches, could not be foreseen by any of those concerned, so nothing could be done about it. However, the event was successfully carried through, with a fair crowd, there being a large number of children among those preâ€" sent and the carnival was enjoyed and appreciated. a oo C 2 Sectionsâ€" 16 Pages FINE ARRAYâ€"OF COSTUMES AT AMBULANCE BRIEADT EVENT §$.

Canadian Chautauquas Explained to Kiwanis At the Kiwanis Club on Monday Miss J. M. Hall, representing the Cangian Chautauquas, explained the scope and plan of the organization in very inâ€" teresting and effective way. Miss Hall gave an outline of the programme of the Canadian Chautauquasâ€"five days of wonderful entertainment, educationâ€" al, inspiring, amusing and most interâ€" esting. The Canadian Chatauquas, she pointed out, had an array of very able and distinguished artists, was allâ€"Canaâ€" dian, and had met with wonderful sucâ€" cess in the West. She said that the plan was now being brought to Ontario, and suggested that the Kiwanis Club might look after the necessary guaranâ€" tees so that the event might come to Timmins. The Kiwanis Club greatly appreciated the address by Miss Hall. There was a general discussion at the meeting and afterwards a meeting of the directors was held. It was decided that at present the club could not take on this event. One of the visitors at the club Monday was Mr. Chas.

They are not trying to beat any time, but are simply making the trip as a novelty and to see the counâ€" try. Their dogs are reported as in good condition and the two ladies are finding the trip very interesting.

Winter Sports Handled by the Porcupine Ski Club. The date of the Porcupine Dog Race this year has been put over to Wednesâ€" day, March 6th, when the Porcupine Dog Classic will take place for the handsome trophy presented by The Porcupine Advance. The route of the Speed Race will be the same as in former years, but there is a slight alteration in the course of the Freight Race, the run from the Vipond corner to Schumacher being made without turning off before reachâ€" ing the main highway at the MciIntyre hall. The executive council again appeal to owners of dogs not being used in the races to keep them under close control or locked up while the races are being carried on. No dog will be allowed to compete in both races. Auto drivers are also requested to allow the dog teams the fullest freeâ€" dom of the road during the races. In addition to the regular prizes there will also be a number of specials. The cash prizes for the freight race will be:â€"first, $50; second, $25; third, $15; and in the Speed Race, first, $75; second, $50; third $25. Most of the last year‘s drivers have signified their intention of again comâ€" peting, and some new faces are also going to be in the race, one of them being expected to cause considerable upset in the final placings. Full details will appear in the adverâ€" tisement next week. In the meantime, it appears that the 1929 Dog Races will be bigger and better than ever. One new feature is the Charity Sweepstake on similar lines to that run in connection with the Quebec Dog Derby. Local deserving institutions are expected to benefit considerably from this, and liberal cash prizes will be offered. While the Speed Race teams are on their way around the 14â€"mile course, there will be the usual races to town for dog teams driven by boys and girls, and winter sportsâ€" will be handled by the Porcupine Ski Club on the ecyanide near the Curling Rink. Mr. James Lloyd left on Tuesday for Orillia to take a position in that town, where he is also joining the band there as cornet soloist, a position he is well able to fill with eminent ability. Mr. Lloyd was for some time one of the cornet soloists in the Timmins Citizens‘ Band. and proved himself a musician of unusual ability and a master of his instrument. . Mr. Lloyd came to the Porcupine camp some four years ago and during his residence here made many friends who will wish him and his family all success while regretting their departure from town. Mrs. Lloyd and family will join Mr. Lloyd later and take up residence in Orillia, WILL BE CORNET SOLOIST IN BAND AT ORILLIA, ONT Ehe PDorcupine Thrills aplenty were handed out to the eleven hundred fans who crowded Timmins rink last night to witness South Porcupine turn the tables on the Eskimo sextette, and send the paperâ€" makers back to Iroquois Falls carrying a whitewash brush, when the gold and black clad warriors of the capital of Tisdale township came out on the long end of a 4â€"0 score.

From the faceâ€"off to the final gong they had it all over the Eskimos, going in, in the first perâ€" iod, anid scoring two, checking like fiends in the second, and practically doing whatever they wanted in the third, to every member of the Falls sextette but Kerr, who loomed up as the solitary tower of strength on the Papermakers‘ lineâ€"up. Charlie Roach, Timmins, and S. Mulâ€" ligan, of North Bay, handled the game. General dissatisfaction was found with the latter, and once or twice during the game, the fans got a thrill when the referee and judge of play disagreed. It was a hard game to handle, but many thought Roach could have done better by himself. The teams were:â€" Iroquois Falls:â€"Kerr, goal; Evansa nd Huggins, defence; Trottier, centre; Pender and Wilson, forwards; Cybulsky, Chircoski and Fraser, subs. South Porcupine:â€"Baxter, goal; Mill and Gilmour, defence; Jemmett, centre; Hudson and Spence, forwards; Proulx, Gagnon, Fell, subs.; Lawn, sub. goalie. Referee:â€"Chas. Roach, Timmins. Judge of Play:â€"Stan Mulligan, North Bay One minute from the faceâ€"off South Porcupine fans got their first of the numerous thrills of the evening, when Mill and Spence went in, and found the net behind Kerr, but the goal was disâ€" allowed. Not to be done out of a score, right after the faceâ€"off Gilmour went in alone, and registered the first tally for South Porcupine, even if he had to go through the whole Eskimo team to do it. Spence drew the first penalty of the game when he went to the cooler CLAIR SEVERT STARTS 10 SKI TO OTTAWA IN 14 D/ Left Timmins This Morning on Trip of 532 Miles. Must Average 38 Miles a Day. Failing to interest anyone in a three to one wager that he could ski to Otâ€" tawa, 532 miles distant, in 14 days, Clair Severt, wellâ€"known young Timâ€" mins ski expert, left this morning to do the trip at his own expense of money as well as effort. He left at 8 am. cheered by a number of his felâ€" low members of the Porcupine Ski Club He intends to make the trip across country over unbroken trails, through the woods, and over lakes and rivers. There will be times when his daily mileage will have to exceed 60 miles in order to ensure reaching habitation before the night. In order to reach the goal in the 14 days specified he will have to average over 38 miles a day, and in view of the lateness of the season this no doubt will prove a tremendous undertaking. Forâ€" tunately he has courage, persistence, stamina and skiâ€"ing ability, and those who know his experience and talent best agree that he will succeed. In any case, the trip across country on skiis should prove a novel experience and one full of interest.

South End took the offenâ€" sive, but the Falls were checking hard. Both Kerr and Baxter were showing themselves towers of strength in their. respective citadels, A temporary halt in the game occurred when the pucx went across the boards among some of the spectators. Proulx drew the first penalty in this period. Wilson got in on Baxter but was high. The Eskimos worked hard when the Miners were man shy. Mill went to the box for using his elbow. For two minutes the play was, Eskimos trying to get through. south Porcupine shooting puck down ice to kill time. The Falls put on a five man forward line but couldn‘t beat Baxter. Pender was sent off for crossâ€" checking. From then until the period _ended midâ€"ice play with close checking was the order of the game, relieved at times by lone rushes.

Midâ€"ice play featured ‘ the opening minutes of the game. Jemâ€" | mett got what looked from the box like a dirty buttâ€"end from one of the Falls ‘defence and was down on the ice. He | didn‘t go off, and after a brief consultaâ€" ] tion between the players and reéferee on 'the ice, the game started again, with ,no penalty, though Evans or Huggins, from the side lines, should have got a | trip, but apparently neither of the two \refeéerees on the ice noticed Jemmett getting an end of a stick in the solar 'plexus The Eskimos started in on desperate offensive seeking to find the net behind Baxter, but owing to this gentlemans good eye, and luck they were unable to do so. Two temporary _halts in the game occurred when the | puck landed in Baxter‘s pads and when Miners still at two the little rubber dise took a fancy once again to the spectators. Cybulski took a trip when he used the buttâ€"end of his stick. With his team man shy Kerr took all shots like a veteran, Then he drew the ire of the referee. Proulx came in, but was skated into the corner, circling behind the Eskimo net, Kerr gave him a buttâ€"end in the stotnach. and the Miner went on the ice. The Falls goalie was sent to the box for a minute; apparently he was trying to inâ€" crease his penalty, for when going off the ice he took a slash at Spence. Proulx was helped to the dressing room. From the faceâ€"off Hudson sent in a hot one which buiged the twine in the Falls net. South Porcupine 3. Kerr‘s return to the ice was the signal for the Falis to rush every man they had except the goalie onto the forward line in a last effort to avoid a whitewash. The South Enders tried the old game of the winâ€" ning team, of shooting the puck down the ice, to the great delight of the fans who had booed this practice on Monâ€" day when the Falls tried it out, they .being in the lead. Baxter made some great savesâ€"â€"â€"â€"then, presto, someâ€" thing seemed to go wrong with the Eskimos, the forward line crumpled, the defence was wide open, and the Miners swarmed round their net like hornets, Kerr alone being responsible ‘ for the score remaing at the 3â€"0 figure. : The Miners scored their last goalâ€"â€"â€"â€" ‘an Eskimo player passed the puck out to Jemmett, who sent the disc in beâ€" |hind Kerr for his team‘s fourth countâ€" er.

Mr. Justice Wright in sentencing the prisoner pointed out to him that he had comeâ€" to Canada to better his condition and so should be prepared to obey the laws of the country.

There were also objectionable references to the Prince of Wales. Vaara pleaded not guilty. . After hearing much eviâ€" dence the jury brought in the verdict noted and sentence was imposed.

READY T0 SKI TO MONTREAL INSIDE OF DAYS Jacob Oswald Preparing to Start on Long Ski Hike on Saturday of This Week. Ski hiking seems to be the order of the day. Jacob Oswald, an experienced and expert ski artist, who years ago was accustomed to making long trips on skis in Switzerland and other European countries, but who has been a resident of Timmins for some time past, has been trying to get some one to take up his offer to ski to Montreal inside of eighteen days. He says he can make the trip without difficulty in the time specified. His plan is to follow the railroad tracks. By this route the disâ€" tance would be 660 miles. He says he has often made seventy miles in a day on skiis and while this would not be. possible on a long trip like that to. Montreal, the average would be forty miles per day or more, except in case of some sort of mishap or unusual weather conditions. Mr. Oswald is confidert that he will have no difficulty in making the distance from Timmins to Montreal in less than the cighteen days specified. Mr. Vasel Fotoff, 15 Wilson avenue, is backing Oswald to the extent of $500.00 for the trip, and suggests that any of the business men or others who would like to assist in the matter of skiis, clothing, for the _rip, or otherwise, will be welcomed. It is the intention to carry a message from Timmins to. Montreal to the mayor of that city and the idea is that there should be some publicity for Timmins in this novel form of transportation for such a distance. Oswald expects to start out from Timmins on Saturday of this week, as it is felt that any further delay might mean weather unfavourable for the proposed long hike. ROWDY CONDUCT ON STREET BRINGS SALUTARY FINE At police court this week a yvoung man from down the River Road way who was reported to be making a nuiâ€" sance of himself by pushing people off the sidewalks, interfering with other} younger lads and generally being an. annoyance to others, was charged with assaulting a man and his young son the case arising from the sort of smart alexisms referred to. A fine of $5.00 and costs was imposed with a warning that this sort of nonsense will not be permitted. The only other case in court this week was a charge of abduction against a man who was accusea of taking a 15â€"yearâ€"old girl away from her home. The provincial police found the man and girl at a house out in the country on Tuesday evening around ten o‘clock. The girl had been away from home for some days, to the great anxiety of her parents. On the witness stand, howâ€" ever, the girl claimed she simply visited the man, and her story freed him from any wrongful responsibility. The charge was dismissed, but the authorities are going to keep an eye on the girl with a view o seeing that she does not beâ€" come incorrigible. 2 Sectionsâ€" 16 Pages PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 2837 KIWANEES T0 ESTABLISH â€"SWIMMING POOL AT RVER The activities of the Kiwanees in the past few years have been of great adâ€" vantage to the town and district, and the objective for this year is one of the finnest yet. The ladies have plans all arranged to instal a swimming pool at the river. It will be located opposite Mr. C. M. Auer‘s former residence, anc ‘the intention is to make the swimming pool along the most modern and apâ€" proved lines. Timbering, gravelling and other methods will be used to make the tank and approaches of the very finest kind and the area will be adequately roped off. Two dressng rooms, one for boys and the other for girls, will be erectâ€" ed, and it is intended to have an exâ€" pert swimmer in charge all the time the swimming tank is in use. Every preâ€" caution is being planned for safety and for the advantage of the youngsters learning to swim. Every year there have been sad deaths through drowning in the waters of this district. Swimâ€" ming is a wholesome and healthful reâ€" creation that makes particular appeal to youngsters. Under the conditions that have prevailed it must be admitâ€" ed that youngsters have been in danâ€" ger while following the popular pastime of swimming. The swimming pool planned by the Kiwanees will provide the opportunity for youngsters to swim and to learn to swim, with perfect safeâ€" ty assured. The Kiwanees, in their objective for 1929, are certainly conferâ€" ring a noteworthy benefit on the town of Timmins. Will be of the Most Approved Type, and with Skilled Swimmer in Charge At the meeting of the Kiwanees on Monday of this week the ladies decided to go on with the project and their enâ€" thusiasm and talent will no doubt carry it to success. . The matter, however, will require considerable money and in this the people generally should give the usual generous support that is regularly accorded every worthy cause in Timâ€" mins. The ladies have some funds on hand, and there should be general coâ€" operation to see that they secure any balance necessary. There are many ways in which the Kiwancees may be assisted in their good work. The Canâ€" adian Explosives Company, for instance, has volunteered to supply all the exâ€" plosives required for the blasting that will be necessary to get the ground in shape for the installation of the swimâ€" ming pool. It is the intention of the Kiwanees to turn over the swimming pool to the town next year after it has been comâ€" pleted and successfully conducted for the season New Pioneer Groceteria Attracting Big Crowds P ETNE NR CS The Kiwanees also purpose to instal a park around the swimming pool, so that it will be one of the beauty spots of the town, and a valuable property The Pioneer Groceteria opened for business on Tuesday morning and has been attracting large crowds ever since,. Before the store opened on Tuesday morning there were numbers waiting for the doors to open. The business on the opening days exceeded the highest expectations and the new groceteria may be said to be off to a fine start. The" premises in the Goldfields Hotéel block have been fitted up in the most modern style and the stocks are parâ€" ticularly attractive. The Pioneer Groâ€" ceteria, like the Pioneer Stores, is owned ;by the Northland Grocers, Limited, who own a chain of North Land stores as well as a wholesale business. Mr. Thos.

They were more than a full day ahead of the time for which they had made a wager, doing the trip of 486 miles in 19 days. There were about 100 people in the crowd at the city hall to welcome the ski experts to Toronto. From the successful trip plans have been made to form a special sports cub in Timmins, one of the feaâ€" tures to be backed by the new organizâ€" ation to be a ski trip to Toronto each February. The proposed trip will be made into sort of race, with prizes for those making the best time, and it is expected that scores of enthusiastic ski artists will complete. The Cornish Social Club are holding a "Cornish Night" in the Hollinger Reâ€" creation hall on Tuesday evening, Feb. 26th, the ladies being in charge, which is assurance of a fine time for all, All members are asked to bring refreshâ€" ments. The St. Valentine‘s Night dance last Thursday evening in the Masonic hall, under the auspices of the Canadian Legion, was a very enjoyable affair, although counter attractions prevented as large an attendance as the event deserved. The Canadian Legion orâ€" chest.a, under the direction of Burton Holland, provided very fine music for the occasion. PRICE FIVE CENTS
