Angelo Grant Curtiss The following are the scores of the games:â€" In a postponed match the Cubs took three wellâ€"earned points from the Lions. The Lions, by taking that one point win the first half of the OQstrosser League. Sauve, of the Cubs, bowled with the nice score of 712, while Reid shone for the Lions with a score of 640 pins. Only 5 men are over the 600 mark for Wednesday, three of these belonging to the Hounds. They are:â€" McDougall, 807; Deardon, 650; Webb, 619; Sauve, 712; Reid, 640. The Tigers defaulted to the Cubs, and the Foxes also gave four points to the Lions. The Wildcats and Buffaloes bowled socially, each taking two points. The Wildcats at the end of the second game were over 200 pins ahead, but the Bufâ€" faloes got down to business and beat their opponents by over 400 pins, thus taking one game and the total score. In the Ostrosser bowling league last week the Hounds got away to a fine start, taking all the points from the : Wolves in the opener. Three of t.hei Hounds bowled over the honour mark. McDougall starred with 806, his games | being 261, 277 and 268. Deardon also | bowled well with a tally of 650. Studor bowled high for the Wolves by knock-| ng over 582 pins.

Mr. Legault moved a resolution urging that roads be built and maintained by the Government to the settlers‘ homes, and where advantageous, built before the settler goes in; that the land allocation of 75 acres per settler be increased to 150 or 160 acres: that Oneâ€"half of the settlers in the North, Mr. Legault clamed, lived on land from which there was no road egress. The Government built roads, it was true, but they were chiefly trunk roads, established with one eye on the tourâ€" ist‘s purse. Under conditions in which they had been forced to live, many settlers, he stated, had made no preâ€" tence of tilling the land, but had simâ€" ply robbed the bush and had then cleared out. At the session of the Agriculture and Colonization Committee of the Legisature, Theodore Legault, Liberal member for Sturgeon Falls, last week criticized the colonizaftion policy of the Ontario Government. He suggestâ€" ed, indeed that it wasn‘t colonization at all, and that the conditions under which the settiers lived were as bad as those of the miners in the Old Land. He also held that certain secâ€" tions were being discriminated against in favour of other{, and ‘that the Government was more interested in industrializing the North and looking after the requirements of the tourists than seeing to the benefit of the setâ€" tlers. All of which is not quite fairâ€" ly put, the present Government havâ€" ing done more than any previous Government for the benefit of the settlers. Liberal Criticizes the Colonization of North Mr. Kennedy disagreed with Mr. Legault on the matter of road outlets, stating that there wasn‘t a settler in his electoral districtâ€"even though the district was much younger than the Sturgeon Falls member‘sâ€"that didn‘t have a road to get out on. Mr. Kenâ€" nedy did admit, however, that there was room for improvement in the manâ€" ner in which the settlers worked their property. There will be some wonder at the reply credited to Mr. A. J. Kennedy, member for Temiskaming. What Mr. Kennedy says may be true of his ridâ€" ing, but it certainly is not true of this section. "The trouble in the North, and it‘s the same sometimes in the south, is that the settlers are too spoonâ€"fed," he said. "I have known of settlers who took lands fifteen years ago, and haven‘t any more than three acres cleared at the present time. Why, a couple of beaver could have done more work in the same time." No action was taken by the commitâ€" tee on the resolution, on the ground that the points raised came within the jurisdiction of the Department of Norâ€" thern Development, but the recommenâ€" dations involved were passed along to Hon. William Finlayson for his serious consideration. On the point in regard to size of farms there will be very general agreeâ€" ment in this part of the country. This is one point in Mr. Legault‘s address that is quite correct and the Governâ€" ment should take note of it for action. Otherwise there will be a natural tenâ€" dency to accept other parts of his adâ€" dress that are not so correctly phrased. subsidiesâ€"$10 per acres for cutting down the bush, and $20 per acre for clearing the propertyâ€"be allowed the settler; that more money be devoted to helping the settler get cattle on time payments, and that T.B. free zones for these cattle be established. The Kirkland Lake Northern News last week says:â€"*"Kiwanees, the wives and lady friends of the members of the Kiwanis Club, of Timmins, plan to establish a swimming pool at the river. Timbering, gravelling, and other means of making pool modern and safe, along with the erection of two bathing houses one for boys and the other for girls are in the scheme. The idea might take root and bear fruit in other places with advantage to the youth of the comâ€" munity," at least twelve years in the camp. For the occasion a number of old bandsâ€" men are kindly coming to give their services for the evening. It is expect:d that at least one number will be preâ€" sented by a band composed entirely of oldâ€"timers, some of the oldâ€"timers comâ€" ing from South Porcupine and the Dome to assist in this feature. There will be an oldâ€"time brass quartette that will make a big hit, and also vocal and instrumental numbers by individual oldâ€"timers that will show that there is something in the idea that the oldâ€" times were good times and the oldâ€" timers good fellows. The next band concert will be on March 17th, and will be "Oldâ€"Timers‘ Night." All the artists on the proâ€" gramme will be those who have lived Bandmaster A. Wilford and his men presented a number of pleasing band numbers for the occasion. These inâ€" cluded:â€"Hymn, "Abide With Me"; march, "Royal Trophy‘"; selection, "Bandsmen‘s Delight." The latter was among the popular numbers of the evening. The accompaniments for the evening added much to the effectiveness of the various numbers. The gifted pianists for the evening included Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Wilkins and Mrs. Carroll. Probably the most enthusiastic apâ€" plause of the evening was roused by the talented Highland dancing of little Miss Helen‘ Crews, this graceful little lady dancing her way into the favour of all present. She was very heartily encored. In the instrumental line, the young Cornishman, Bandsman Carl Johns, gave a cornet solo, "The Merryâ€"Goâ€" Round," with band accompaniment, this number being very favourably reâ€" ceived. Even more popular was the cornet duet "Larboard Watch," by Messrs Stan and Carl Johns. This number was very effectively given and delighted lovers of music. \ The vocal numbers for the evening i were especially good. The first of these was a solo by Mr. C. Roberts, whose ;efi'ective presentation of "Lay My Head Beneath a Rose," set a high stanâ€" dard for the succeeding numbers. Mr. Roberts has a pleasing tenor voice, wellâ€"trained, and puts expression and sympathy into his singing. The duet by Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Gay, "Excelâ€" sior"‘ was one of the features of the evening. Mrs. Gay has a rich contralto voice of especial sweetness and musicâ€" lovers found great delight in it. Miss Allen, of the Dome Mines, won the heartiest approval for her beautiful soprano voice and her gifted presentaâ€" tion of the solo, "For All Eternity." She was insistently encored, her singing making especial appeal. Mrs. Lawry sang "Sonny Boy‘" in fine voice and with effectiveness and this number was very much appreciated. Mrs. Barrett‘s presentation of the solo, "Valley of Laughter" was one of the special numâ€" bers of the evening and this gifted singer won very sincere encore. Her number in response to the recall, "Beâ€" cause" was equally pleasing and apâ€" preciated. Mr. A. Jenkin‘s solo was an effective number, given with good exâ€" pression and in fine voice. It was very heartily applauded. Mr. Alf Snow, who is always a popular soloist in Timmins,. presented "The Watchman" with strikâ€" ing talent and was one of the special favourites of the evening‘s excellent programme. "Cornish Night" in the series of band concerts each season by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band is always a pleasing event and the programme provided by the Cornish people on Sunday evening in the Goldfields theatre after the church services was no exception to the rule. Mr. W. S. Johns, who made the arrangements for the programme, had a long list of unusually good numâ€" bers by talented artists, and the evenâ€" ing was much enjoyed by all who like good music. Every artist on the proâ€" gramme was Cornish and the various numbers showed the outstanding musiâ€" cal talent of the Cornish people here. Programme of Special Merit Given by Cornish Talent. Event Much Appreciated by ail Present. "CORNISH NIGHT * AT BAND CONCERT PLEASING FVENT
