He has been prominent and helpful in sporting circles, especially in hockey and baseball. Last year he was the president of the Timminfs Baseball Club Hockey matches here were not comâ€" plete unless he was in attendance and he was always a strong but intelligent booster for hockey in Timmins. He was also prominent in Oddfellow and other circles here, and there will be general regret at the removal of the family from town, while all wish him the very best in his new location. Mrs. Claus and family will join him in the course of the next two or three weeks. NVol. XIV.

PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 29 3] 92 Sections â€" 16 Pages Asked in regard to the proposed new post office building for Timmins Mr. Bradette said that work would start on the building as soon as the weather was propitious He thought it likely that the building would be completed this year and probably ready for, use by December of this year. In referâ€" ring to the passing of the estimates for the Timmins post office, Mr. Braâ€" dette said that all in the House seemed to be in favour of the item, and it was quite evident that Timmins was on the map and all felt that so good a town should have a suitable post office builaâ€" ing. Mr. Jos Aa. sraaette, M.P. for Tomis kaming North in the Dominion Hous Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., Says That the New Building for Timmins Will Likely be Ready for Christmas was in town this week, having taken advantage of the Easter recess to visit the various parts of his large riding. It is Mr. Bradette‘s idea that»s the new building should be used to accoinâ€" modate all Federal offices in the town, includng the customs office as well as the post office. He would like perâ€" sonally to see it also used by the Proâ€" vincial Government for any officials of that government located at Timmins. It may not be possible, however, to satisfactorily arrange this latter. In any event, though, the new post office building is to be a creditable and comâ€" modious structure and will be in every way creditable to the town as well as providing proper post office accommoâ€" dation badly needed these many years in this town. BIG GOPPER FIND REPORTED IN THE PATRIGIA DISTRIGT Reports from Sioux Lookout week are to the effect that quite a rusn to stake claims has developed in the area around Little Windigo lake, about 100 «miles north of the Shoniahâ€"Catâ€" field. Copper discoveries have been made and news of staking on behalf of N.A.M.E. by Wiliam Smith and Stan Watson has proven a magnet for reâ€" presentatives of several other mining groups. So far as is known, this is the first rush to take place in Patricia district, where copper was the attracâ€" tion, as other activities in this connecâ€" tion have been on account of gold showings. Rush of Stakers Now on to the Little Windigo Lake Area. Airships Being Used .to Reach the Scene. Early reports from the scene indicate that copper was opened up in a series of small stringers in a mineralized zone with a width of about 20 feet. First propecting last summer resulted in a show over a length of about 1,500 feet, but the assays from this were raâ€" ther low, and comparatively little atâ€" tention was given to the occurrence. Smith and Watson spent some time in the area, later moving down to Shoniâ€" ah lake, where the gold discovery that subsequently started the big rush to that field was made. The condtions at Little Windigo, however, when described to N.A.M.E. officals, were such that Smith and Watson were sent in by plane early in February, and results then obtained warranted staking, and the discovery with adjacent claims was taken up. While prospecting at this time the oriâ€" ginal zone was picked up at a distance from the first showing, so that it now has an apparent extent of about 4,000 feet, with the 20â€"foot width well mainâ€" tained, according to report. Assays have shown the existence of copper, zinc and minor values in gold, and when popâ€"shooting was done the pyrrhotite was replaced by chalcopyâ€" rite to such an extent that it became massive in places. The formation in the vicinity of the find is of greenstone schists, intruded by rhyolite, and with some large diabase intrusions to the west. Parties are going in every day, mostly by plane, and the distance of the scene of action from the railway has conâ€" fined interest largely to groups with substantial capital, as it is an expenâ€" sive proposition to get into the area and beyond the reach of many free lance prospectors. Scouts representing the Lindsleys, the Connell interests and various other mining groups have gone in, and while reports from the field are somewhate meagre, there is very active staking under way. P. D. F. L. Annual Meeting Saturday of This Week The annual meeting of the Porcupine District Football Leagus will be held in the town hall, Timmins, on Saturâ€" day of this week, April 6th, commencâ€" ing at 7.30 pm.

MASS MEETING GALLED OF BOYS TFN TO TWENTY YEARS Report for March for Children‘s Aid Society With Purpose of Organizing All Junior Sports Under One Head. Meeting on Monday Next A meeting is called for Monday evenâ€" ing next, April 8th, at 8 p.m., in the town hall, of all boys between the ages of ten and twenty with the idea of discussing the plan of having all junior sports under the one head. If the boys are favourable to the plan it will be proceeded with. The plan is to form an athletic club to look after all junior sports, baseball, hockey, racing, etec. Financing will be done by means of a membership of business men at $10.00 each per year. This fee will cover all expenses without any further calls on the business men in the year. It is expected that 100 or 150 business men would enter the plan, over 40 already signifying their willingness to do so. The control of the business side of all junior sports would be in the hands of an executive of the business men joining up. All boys of ten to twenty interested in sports are urged to attend the meeting Monday night and hear the plans fully outlined. If the boys are agreeable the matter will be submitted to the business men of the town. The purpose of the proposal is to do away with the multplicity of calls on the business men for the difâ€" ferent sports, and at the same time assure good financing and proper exeâ€" cutive control of all junior sports in town.

The financial report for 1928 shows the club in satisfactory position. There is an apparent deficit, covered by note, of less than $800.00, but as the club bought and paid for tractor and mowâ€" ers costing $1484.00, the club really completed the season with a balance of over $600.00 to the good.

No pressure of any kind has been put on this year to induce any to take out' licenses, but up to date there have been 420 licenses duly taken out for autos here. In 1927 there were 370! licenses issued up to this time. Only| a comparatively few people who own cars have brought them out as yet this year, so the rush for licenses can not be said to have started yet. With the number of licenses so far making a new record it is to be expected that the number of cars in Timmins and district this year will exceed all preâ€" vious records. PRESENTED WITH CLUB BAG EY POWER AND PHONE SFAEFS Mr. Wilfrid D.

TQ CELEBRATE VIMY NIGHI QN BIG SCALE AT TIMMINS Plans Now Completed for Very Attr; tive Event by the Timmins Post of the Canadian Legion. Plans are now completed for the celebration at Timmins of the battle of Vimy Ridge, in which battle the Canaâ€"| dian forces under the command of Lord Byng, did such splendid work. A; short review of the battle may not be | out of place at this particular | The ridge was one that overlooked a' vast amount of territory on the Allied side of the line and its capture meant the freedom of the movement of troops and also the use of the Arrasâ€"Bethune road, and in addition it would give to| the Allies a point of observation overs the entire Lens valley. Great preparaâ€" l tions were made and the attack was launched on the morning of April 9th,l 1917. Just as the attack commenced a heavy sleet began to fall and the Canaâ€" dians were practically mudâ€"trapped. The supporting artillery could not get into their objective position, and the day ended with the troops falling back to the top of the ridge, a position they held despite heavy counter attacks by the Germans. The victory was a splenâ€" did example of courage, though the. loss was heavy in life and limb. There is no doubt but that had the weather been brighter that by nightfall the city of Lens would also have been capâ€" tured. That is why the returned solâ€" diers and the Canadian Legion make a special celebration of this special day assaulted was fined $5.00 and costs for using bad language on street, Two men coming from a bridge party talkâ€" ed too loudly about the game and were fined $5.00 and costs each. Four young men who threw stones at street lights were assessed $19.00 and costs for their damaging foolishness. A case involvâ€" ing the alleged theft of horses was settled out of court. A man charied with theft of clothing had not been located to serve with the necessary summons. An assault case was reâ€" manded for two weeks, the victim of the alleged assault still being in the hospital. in order to commemorate the victory, and at the same time not forget their fallen comrades in Flanders. This year the Timmins Post of thet Canadian Legion are out to have a real oldâ€"time soldiers‘ night. It will take the form of a Buffet Supper and | Smoker in the Oddfellows‘ hall on | Tuesday evening of next week, April| 9th. There will be lots of everything| in the way of eats, smokes, fun and| refreshments. _A big hit on the pro-’ gramme will be, "The Sick Parade," a. oneâ€"act comedy written and composed! by those taking part. "Mademoiselle Parleyâ€"Vous" will be present for the evening, and in regard to this all may} guess who? _ Another feature will be the stepâ€"dancing contest. Songs, stunts, stories, etc., will fill out the programme. g The Canadian Legion extends corâ€" dial invitation to all exâ€"service men to spend the evening with the Timmins Post. Vimy Night promises to be one of the best arranged nights the Timâ€" mins Post has ever put on. SEVERAL FINED AT COURT FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT Five common drunks paid the usua> ten and costs at police court this week. M. Cybulski was fined $100.00 and costs for having liquor in a public place.

After the election of the officers for the year there was a general discusâ€" sion of matters of interest to the band and plans made to have the coming year the best year in the history of the band. One of the special subjects touched upon by the bandsmen was the question of new uniforms for members who need them and the alteration of the present uniforms so as to make them more attractive. The present iuniforms while very serviceable are reâ€" cognized as somewhat drab, and plans kwere outlined for altering this at a ,comparatlvely small expense. The secretary was instructed to get in touch w1th one of the big dyeing houses and thave one uniform done over on the lplan suggested at the meeting, this alâ€" ltered uniform to be submitted to the :band for approval. If satisfactory th>e lother uniforms will be similarly treatâ€" ed and any new uniforms bought to conform to the same model. The matâ€" ter of the need for new caps was also touched upon and the band will also ‘examine samples of these. It is exâ€" pected to have the improved uniforms in time for the first openâ€"air band concert this coming summer. | The annual meeting of the Timmins| Citizens‘ Band was held in the band. rooms at the Central public school on Monday evening of this week. There | was a large and representative attend- ance of members of the band and the' meeting was a busy and lengthy one. | Reports for the past year were read | and approved, the band having passed | a successful year and finances being in satisfactory condition. One of the chief items of business of the evening was the election of officers which was held by ballot and resulted as follows:. The matter of the remaining indoor concerts for this season and other matâ€" ters of importance to the band were discussed and plans perfected to make these events especially attractive. Good Programme for the Band Concert on Sundays A specially good programme has bees~ prepared for the band concert to hbe given in the Goldfields theatre on Sunâ€" day evening, April "7th, after the church services. In addition to atâ€" tractive selections by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band, there will be vocal and instrumental music by local artists that will please all. A couple of extra speâ€" cial numbers are expected to prove of very particularl interest for the occasâ€" PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 209 3] 2 Sections â€" 16 Pages Rates Will be 54.02 Mills for Public School Supporters and 65.31 Mills ' for Separate School Supporters There will be a meeting of the Matâ€" tagami Aquatic Association in the town hall on Tuesday evening of next week, April 9th. The meeting is called to discuss matters of interest and importâ€" ance to all using the river. The Aquaâ€" tic Association is in position to be of very notable service to all, provided it receives the support and interest of all concerned. There should be a. larger attendance at the meeting on Tuesday evening, April 9th. All interested are urged to attend and to lend their asâ€" sistance to the good work of the Aquaâ€" tic Association. Aquatic Association to Mecet Tuesday Night TAX RATES THIS YEAR WIL BE HIGHER THAN LAS] YEAR There was a special meeting of the town council on Thursday afternoon of last week to finally adopt the estiâ€" mates for the year and to decide upon the tax rates. The estimates were very carefully considered and the expendiâ€" tures were pruned down as far as true economy would permit. No expendiâ€" tures were agreed upon unless it was felt that they could not be avoided without injury to the best interests of the town. Necessity for reducing exâ€" penditures to the lowest possible figure was emphasized by the fact that this year the town will receive about $40,â€" 0 iss than last year, from its. share of the gold royalty. This means that even with the most rigid economy it is not possible to avoid a small inâ€" crease in the tax rates. After the estiâ€" mates were carefully gone over and reâ€" duced wherever practical, the rate for the year was set as 54.02 mills for the public school supporters and 65.31 mills for separate school supporters. This is between four and five mills higher than the rates last year. In 1928 the rates were:â€"48.85 mills for public and 60.75 for separate school supporters. In 1927 the rates were 58.7 and 65.31 respectiveâ€" ly. The 1928 rates were the lowest for a number of years, including even at that six or seven mills that were reâ€" quired to meet deficit for 1926 when a rate of 50 mills had been made, though the actual requirements totalled over. 6 mills more than the rate set. While | the rate this year will be a little higher than last year it will still be lower than _the actual rate required for several _years previous to last year. To make } the rates for this year effective a byâ€" law has to be duly passed by the counâ€" cll and this will be done at the next regular meeting of the council to be held on Monday afternoon of next. | week.
