There should be very general inâ€" terest in the illustrated lecture to be given by Miss E. L. Marsh, of Peaseâ€" marsh Farm, a noted authority on bird life, in the United Church baseâ€" ment, Timmins, on Friday evening of this week, May 3rd, at 8 o‘clock. The event is under the auspices of the Timmins Home and School Assoâ€" clation, and in sponsoring this lecture the Home and School Association is doing a distinct service to the town and district. Miss Marsh has internationâ€" al reputation for her interest, knowâ€" ledge and work in connection with bird life. She has lectured all over Canada and in several of the States and wherâ€" ever she has spoken interest has been quickened in the conservation of bird life. Miss Marsh‘s home, Peasemarsh Farm, was the first Crown game preâ€" serve in Ontario, her efforts along this line resulting in the enlisting of the support and sympathy of the Governâ€" ment. What Jack Miner has done for the wild geese and ducks, Miss Marsh has equalled for the smaller feathered tribes, the songsters, the little beauâ€" ties and the useful smaller birds of Ontario. Miss Marsh‘s lecture is illustrated by lantern slides, and not only does she know her subject thoroughly, but she also knows how to present the case in most interesting way. All who attend the lecture will be delighted with it. Those who are already interâ€" ested in bird life will find their interâ€" est increased in notable measure, while learning much of information ‘that will be new. Those who may not even think they care anything about birds will be, surprised at the way their inâ€" terest will be stirred by the lecture ents would do well not ocnly to attend themselves but also to ses that all the youngsters have a chance to enâ€" Joy the event. wil bir It will be a how useful men ; should beau Miss E.

During the hearing there were some lively passâ€" ages. In both the Gauthier and Barâ€" tleman cases the town and township were agréeable to the annexations beâ€" ing completed. In regard to the Gauâ€" thier townsite there was no objection from anyone as to the completion of the annexation on the plans outlined. In respect to the Bartleman townsite while town and township and the maâ€" jority of the lot holders were agreed, there was one objection made by one owner of land in this townsite. This objector was J. P. Bartleman, one of the original owners of the townsite.

Against this view, it was ncointed out that the land in question was touched on three sides by other land that was to be annexed. To leave The outstanding success of the short sketch by members of the Canadian Legion on the evening of the Vimy Day has resulted in several requests being made for the members of the concert party putting on that sketch to give a public presentation of their talent. The Vimy Night sketch delighted the soldiers. There was a very general opinion that those taking part in the sketch had the Dumbells famous playâ€" ers equalled or bettered. Accordingly, there has been a general demand for a show for the general public on the same sort of comedy lines. . With this in view, Mr. W. Elphick has written another comedy plot and with the aid of several of the Canadian Legion concert party artists and the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, preparations are now undéer way for rehearsals The event will take the form of the upâ€"toâ€"date musiâ€" cal comedy shows of London, England.

Magurn was appointed deleâ€" gate for the Temiskaming Batcball League, to attend the Eastern Ontario Baseball Association meeting at Otâ€" tawa on Saturday, May 4th. The Teâ€" miskaming League is looking to greatâ€" ly increased interest in baseball this year with the Temiskaming League entering the Eastern Ontario Baseball Association and taking part in the competition for The Ottawa Journal cup which is one of the most coveted trophies in amateur baseball in Onâ€" tario. There is a general belief that baseball will boom in the North this year with the added interest given by the extension of the affiliations of the Temiskaming League. The competiâ€" tion for the championship of the Teâ€" miskaming League and for the possesâ€" sion of the handsome R. A. McInnis trophy will assure good sport and keen competition in this part of the North. As in past years the Temiskaming League this season will be divided into groups with playâ€"offs at the end of the season between the group winners to decide the league championship and for the possession of the trophies played for under the league. In this group, the Northern group, there will be three teams, Iroquois Falls, Porcuâ€" pine and McIntyre. All three teams are reported to be classy outfits and ready to put up good ball. Although losing many of last year‘s games Mcâ€" Intyre team is still in the game and believes that Schumacher can field a good team this season.

All through the winter months the barber shops and a limited number of stores have been obâ€" serving a weekly halfâ€"holiday, but the majority of the business places have been open on Wednesday afternoons during the winter. In the summer months, however, all business places observe the weekly early closing, and it is to be hoped that the good plan will soon be extended to include the whole year with the exception of the week or two around the Christmas time. For a dozen years or so the weekly halfâ€"holiday during the sumâ€" mer has been observed and no one has suffered for it, while merchants and their staffis have benefitted. For a week or two the public may forget the early closing, but it is remarkable how quickly customers adapt themselves to the stores being closed for the one Wednesday Halfâ€"Holiday In Force at All Stores of Rev.

At first it was thought thar there had beem some sort of an exâ€" plosion not far from the Falls, but enâ€" quiry showed that nothing of this kind had occurred in the district.~. When all other explanations had been found to be unsuitable to the case, it was deâ€" cided that the tremors were due to a very mild earthquake. People in Iroâ€" quois Falls observed the phenomenon very clearly and now are questioning those in neighbouring ‘towns as to whether the quake was notced elseâ€" where. So far as can be learned in Timmins no one noticed any earthquake or any earth tremors here on Sunday.

The meeting is for the purpose of proceeding with the plans to organize all junior sports in town under the one head and so make for economy and efficiency and avoid dquplication and overlapping. Already a personal canvass has been made of the business and professional men of the town with a view to ascertaining their opinion of the plan, and pracâ€" tically all so approached have favoured giving the scheme a fair trial,. The boys of the town from the ages of ten to twenty at a big mass meeting held some week ago went on record as fully in favour of the proposed plan. As repeatedly explained in The Advance, the multiplicity of organizations and the duplication of calls upon the busiâ€" ness men has been a hardship to the merchants and a detriment to sport. The new plan suggests hat a hundred or a hundred and fifty business and professional men take out memberâ€" ships at ten dollars each per year, and the amount so raised, together with the fees paid by the boys themselves, would provide ample funds to conduct all junior sports without any further calls upon the merchants during the year. The plan includes the idea of the business men taking membership electing an executive of business and professional men to supervise all junior sports. The boys would more or less run their own teams as in past years, but the financing and general superviâ€" sion would be conducted by the comâ€" mittee of business men. There is a general opinion that the plan is well worth trying and that it will prove a pleasing success if fairly tried. To make it a success the interest of all is nmecesary, and accordingly a very large and representative meeting of the busiâ€" ness men is desired on Monday evenâ€" ing, May 6th in the town hall at eight o‘clock. When the call was put out for a meeting of the boys, the hall was not large enough to hold them. If the business and professional men show equal interest and enthusiasm on Monâ€" day evening and attend in anything like as large numbers, the success of the plan will be assured from the very start. ‘The Temiskaming Junior Baseball League will operate again this season and a good season of junior bali is anticipated. For this Northern Juniâ€" or group the teams will likely be the same as last year, Timmins and South Porcupine. There was some thought that perhaps the junior ball would not be going in the district this year, but the chances now are all for an exâ€" cellent season. South Porcupine says the junior team there is stronger than ever and will be a specially good one this year. Timmins also expects to field a junior team that will make them all travel, so the chances are excellent this season for junior baseball.

Channen and his staff have been very busy for some time past making out the tax notices for 1929 for the town. There are about 3500 separate bills to make out and this is some work. There are about 3900 lots in town, but while some lots are grouped on the one tax bill, on the other hand it is necessary in a great many cases to make out several tax notices for the one lot, so the estimate of 3500 tax notices is a conservative one. The work making out the 1929 tax bills is now practically completed and the notices will go out the first of next week. Following the plan of last year, the majority of the tax notices will be delivered. In the case of vacant lots and where owners reside out of town the notices will be mailed.

Mr. Cleveland‘s car, howover, made the journey withâ€" out special trouble going all the way from Toronto to Timmins by road and under its own power. Only on three occasions had the car to be towed out of holes, though whole lot more than three bad spots were encountered. Indeed, Mr. Cleveland says that the roadways generally were bad most of the way. This was to be expected at this season of the year, though some of the spots were worse than seemea desirable. _ The rogds below North Bay are not any too good but they are worse north of the Bay.
