BIG. BAZAAR TO OPEN NEXT MONDAY AT SKATING RINK Event under Auspices of St. Anthony‘s Church Will Continue all Week. Many Special Features The big bazaar opens on Monday next, June 10th in the Timinins skating rink and will continue all week. The event promises to be an unusually inâ€" teresting one and will have a number of special features that will be sure to attract and please. The ladies of St. Anthony‘s church have been preâ€" paring for this bazaar for some time past and have perfected arrangements to have one of the biggest and best affairs of its kind yet held in the North Land. The skating rink makes an exâ€" cellent place for the holding of an event of this kind, and full advantage is to be taken of the accommodation to stage a particularly big bazaar. There will be all kinds of booths, inâ€" cluding booths for fancy work, childâ€" ren‘s and women‘s wear, and household articles of various kinds. In addition there will be many novelty booths and cther special features that will win particular attention and interest. Opening on Monday next, the bazaar will continue all week and anyone who misses attending it once or twice or several times will miss much interest as well as the opportunity for the purâ€" chase of useful and bsautiful articles that can not be duplicated in the lines of ordinary merchandise. In connecâ€" tion with the bazaar a divanette suite, including a handsome floor lamp, is now on exhibition at Pierce‘s Furniâ€" ture Store. Tickets for this divanette suite are now available at the store at the nominal rate of fifty cents each or three for one dollar. There is also an elegant kitchen suite, all complete, on exhibition at the Ideal Hardware, Third avenue, and tickets are available for this at the same rate as for the divanette suite. These two suites are in connection with the bazaar to be in progress next week. They indicate the extended on which the bazaar is being conducted and the general inâ€" terest being taken in the event. PROMINENT GITIZEN OF IROQUOIS FALLS PASSES John Vanier, Former Ma)}or, and Leading Citizen of the Falls, Died Last Friday John Vanier, promingnt citizen of one of the most prominent and help of the citizens of Troquois Falls, of which town he had been resident since the early days of the town. He was for several years mayor of the town, and on several ocâ€" casions he gave good service as presiâ€" dent of the Iroquois Falls and District Board of Trade. In labour and union circles he was active and useful, enjoyâ€" ing as he did the respect of all and the confidence of all. Some years ago he was the Labour Party candidate in the provincial election and made an excellent showing. A)uything that was for the public benefit would always reâ€" ceive the heartiest support of John Vanier. He had a personality that won friends and these friends he kept by his integrity. He was prominent in Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade work, and indeed in all affairs for the progress and betterment of the North Land John Vanier was a leader and a worker. He was a native of Renfrew county, but had spent a large part of his life in the North Land in the puilp and paper industry and in lumbering. He was practically from the inception of the company a valued member of the staff of the Abitibi Power Paper Co. He was well known in Timmins and hosts of friends here will deeply regret his death. The funeral took place at Iroquois Falls on Sunday from the family resiâ€" dence to St. Anne‘s church and thence to the local cemetery where interment took place. The funeral was attended by literally hundreds of people in all walks of life, the large attendance at the last sad rites, the innumerable letâ€" ters and telegrams received by the family and the many beautiful fioral tokens all speaking of the deep respect and regard in which the late John Vanier was held. Among those proâ€" minent at the funeral were representaâ€" tives of the Iroquois Falls branch of the Pulp and Sulphite Workers Union and other labour organizations. There were over 75 automobiles in the line of march, and scores from outside towns attended the funeral. To the bereaved family the deep sympathy of all is exâ€" tended in their sad loss. PAID CIRCULATION LAST ' WEEK 2809 The Cochrang Northland Post last week says:â€""Mr. Geo.

Taylor Hardware Limited in a conference with Johnsâ€" Manvilie engineers." 3 Sections â€" 20 Pages SEVERAL HUNDRED AT THE MEMORIAL SERVIGE SUNDAY The Kiwanis Club are holding a speâ€" cial meeting on Tuesday night next in the main dining hall of the Empire hotel and a very pleasing time is exâ€" pected. Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the provincial Liberal party, and the group accompanying him on his tour ‘Of the North, will be the guests of the Kiwanis at the event on Tuesday night. Mr. Sinclair will give an address to the Kiwanis Club on the occasion, and in addition the programme committee is arranging a very attractive programme including musical and other features. It is expected that this dinner event will be one of the most enjoyable of recent Kiwanis events and many are looking forward to it. Attendance will not be confined to Kiwanis members, tickets for the occasion at $1.50 each being available for those wishing to enjoy the evening and meet and hear the Liberal leader. Mr. Sinclair is at present on a tour of the North Land and judging from reports of his adâ€" _dresses at Fort William and other places visited already on his visit he is an enthusiast now in regard to the North, its possibilities, its resources and its importance to the province at large. Services Conducted at Tnmins Cemeâ€" tery in Honour 0o ose Who Died Dorit e t There was an unusually large attenâ€" dance on Sunday afternoon, June 2nd, at the annual memorial services at the Timmins cemetery in honour of those who passed away during the past winâ€" ter. The services were under the ausâ€" pices of the Ministerial Association. Several hundred people attended the services at the cemetery despite the fact that the weather was far from favourable. It was expected that if the services were held over until June there would be better weather, but this year‘s weather was not as good as that of some previcus years when the services were held much earlier in the year. The weather, however, did not prevent large numbers from attending at the cemetery to pay their tributes of resâ€" pect and affection to those who had passed on from this life. The services on Sunday were impresâ€" sive to all and comforting to those who mourned the loss of loved ones. The address for the day was given by Capâ€" tain Evendon, of the Timmins Salvaâ€" tion Army, while Rev. J. D. Parks and Rev. M. R. Hall also assisted in the services. The augmented Salvation Army band was one of the special feaâ€" tures of the occasion, furnishing approâ€" priate music in effective way. This band comprised nine or ten capable bandsmen who played a number of hymns and other sacred music that added to the impressiveness and inâ€" terest of the occasion.

He met Watts on Tuesday morning before returning to Kirkland Lake and during discusâ€" sion on the fight "Dutch" accepted Watts‘® offer to meet again at Timmins on July 1st, or before. is as evenly divided as to the respecâ€" tive merits of two boxéers. Everybody nas been talking all week about the fight and the decision, and there have been literally hundreds of arguments, some claiming there was no foul and others extolling the superiority of one or the other of the contestants. It is worthy of note that with such a division of opinion there are more who even sugâ€" gest that the foul was anything but an accident, and the general opinion is that both Watts and Johnson are firstâ€" class men and both good fellows and game all the way. Accordingly, the fight fans not,. only expect that Timâ€" mins will see another bout between these two boxers but also that it will be an honestâ€"toâ€"goodness humdinger. It will draw a big house without any "maybe." Watts‘ backers claim that Johnson was worn down to a point when he could not control his punch in the fourth round, and that every round of the four fought would have been aâ€" warded to Watts. They also think that Johnson could not have been himâ€" self as he went rather wild when Reâ€" feree Arthur Leonard gave the decision to Watts, Johnson at this point kickâ€" ing the ropes and threatening to beat up the referee and his own seconds. They also claim that Johnson will find some excuse not to meet Watts again, as Johnson realizes that Watts has him outclassed in every way. on the other hand, Dutch‘s friends, and he has many, are ready to back him to the limit on a return bout at Timmins with Watts. Likewise they claim the four rounds would have been Johnson‘s if the judge‘s decision had been rendered, and they take exception to the statement that Johnson will find a reason to miss meeting Watts again at Timmins, as in their opinion Dutch is a straight shooter and known to back up his word with action. So goes the battle! so far as the general public is conâ€" cermed, probably no bout held here roused as much interest as the Johnâ€" sonâ€"Watts feature on Monday night last. Also, it is seldom that opinion Popular Couple Wedded on Wednesday Mornin A very pretty church wedding Xook place on Wednesday morni: this week at the United Church, Timmins, when Miss Ida Percival and Mr. Walter Cook were united in marriage by the Rev.

Miss Bangs was taken ill some weeks ago and taken to the hospital here.= Everything that skill and care could do was done but the doctors were agreed that she had only a brief time to live and about two weeks ago she was transferred from the hospital to her home at Mattawa, Ont., soa that her last moments might be spent with her mother. She died alâ€" most to the day that the doctors had set as the limit of her survival. The funeral tock place at Mattawa on Wedâ€" nesday, large numbers of floral tributes many of them from Timmins, testifying to the high regard in which the young lady was held by all who knew her. The young lady made wide circles of friends here. She was for three years in the order department of the Hollinâ€" ger Stores grocery department, later going with the Pioneer Stores in the same capacity when this firm took over the Hollinger grocery business. By her pleasing personality, her decided talent and attention to business, she won the highest regard of all. Hosts of friends here will deeply sympathize with those bereaved by the death of this gifted and charming young lady. Mrs. Dore, of Timmins, is an aunt of the late Miss Bangs, and other relaâ€" tives live here, while the family home is at Mattawa. Tenders are being called for by the Canadian National Railways for the erection of a new station at Kapuskasâ€" ing. It is understood by The Northern Tribune that the style of architecture will follow that of the Kapuskasing Inn, and the new club house at Kapusâ€" kasing, which will mean a depot of exâ€" ceptional attractiveness. The construcâ€" tion of the new depot is to be rushed to completion. The cost of the building, according to the Kapuskasing newsâ€" paper, will ‘be in the neighbourhvol of $60,000.00. Kapuskasing to Have New Railway Station J. R. Walker, formerly with the Geo. Taylor Hardware, and more recently with the Timmins Garage, has been appointed agent for the district for McColl Bros., Limited, the wellâ€"known oil firm. On account of his wide acâ€" quaintanceship in this part of the North and the high regard in which he is held by business firms and the pubâ€" lic generally, together with his business ability and attention to the work at hand. it is a foregone conclusion that he will do well at his new work.

The C THREE COBALT PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN AUTO AGCIDENT auto driverd who had w freight train to pass did not notice anâ€" other approaching freight. Those killâ€" ed were:â€"Octave Geroux, a resident of Cobalt, who was instantly killed Laura Geroux, 19 years old, his daughâ€" ter, who was also instantly killed; Rose Geroux, another daughter, who also met death; Wilfred Therien, a friend, living at Sudbury, who died while beâ€" ing rushed to the hospital at Smith‘s Falls Mrs. Octave Geroux., of Cobalt, wife and mother of the three who were killed, is terribly injured and is now in the Smith‘s Falls hospital with only small chance of recovery. The party, being driven by Therien in his car, were on their way from Cobalt to take up residence at Cornwall, Ont. Apâ€" proaching the Monklands station, Theâ€" rien had stopped the car to allow one freight train to pass. Apparently, howâ€" ever, he had not stopped to look in the other direction and this led to the tragic accident. Another freight train coming along hit the automobile with terrific force. The car was wrecked and all the occupants were badly manâ€" gled. There was more than one eyeâ€" witness to the tragedy. One of the witnesses at the preliminary inquest held Tuesday afternoon was Nathan Robinson, a farmer of Monkland Staâ€" tion who was working in his fields a few hundred yards from the railway crossing, and was an eyeâ€"witness of the tragedy. According to Mr. Robinâ€" son the westbound freight, into whose path the car was driven, was less hidâ€" den from the view of the motorists than the other train. Mr. Robinson beâ€" lieved that the failure of the northernâ€" ers to look to their leftâ€"as well as to the right before crossing the tracks, was the primary cause of the fatality. Sudbury Man Also Victim of Accident on Tuesday at Railway Crossing at Monklands, Ontario. ‘Papers found in the pockets of Mr. Geroux, father of the Cobalt family, showed that they had been moving their home from the north to Cornwall. On May 27 they had shipped all their furniture by freight. Apparently they had arranged with Mr. Therien to be motored to Cornwall in his automobile, and it is believed they made their way south through Ottawa, which they must have left in the car only this morning. It was learned here than the whole party went to Plantagenet, Ont., to have lunch at the home of Mr. Geroux‘s father, a wellâ€"known resident there. Leaving Plantagenet, they apparentâ€" ly struck due south to the end of their long motor journey.

FORMER RESIDENTS HERE REâ€"VISITING THE Tpw Mr. James Twaddle, accompar®ed by his mother, Mrs. Helen Twaddle, moâ€" tored to the North this week from Stoney Creek, near Hamilton, Ont., where Mr. Twaddle has a prosperous grocery® business. Mrs. Twaddle and Mr. Twaddle were valued residents of, Timmins until about five years ago when they moved south, where Mr. Twaddle has built up a nice business. Mr. Twaddle was for years connected with the J. A. Howse wholesale here and both he and Mrs. Twaddle have hosts of friends in Timmins and disâ€" trict who are delighted to welcom® these former residents back on the ocâ€" casion of their visit here.

There was only a small attendance, but the game was a good one, deserving a big crowd and warranting lots of football enthusiasm. The Scottish team won, the final score being three to one. The Englishmen made them work throughâ€" out for the victory, and those present enjoyed the match, The lineâ€"up was as follows: England:â€"Jemmett, Street, Thomâ€" son, Wright, Robson, Woods, Carroll, T. Johnson, Meredith, Collins and Landers Sceotland:â€"Cadman,, Fell, Phillips, Cooper, Harrower, R. McLatchie, Rudâ€" kin, McGarry, Richmond, Webster, A. Roberts. The game on Saturday was a benefit for the St. John Ambulance, so the cause was certainly a worthy one and deserving of a much larger attendance than received, while the match itself also was well worth a big turnout. Football has been greatly handicapâ€" ped so far this season by the unseasonâ€" able weather. The hbrand of football played here, however, has been good, and interest is increasing. In the P.DF.L. game on Tuesday of this week the Cornisn defeated the Dome 1 to 0. This was a very good game of firstâ€"class footpall, despite the weather conditions. Both teams showâ€" ed classy football, the Cornish fairly earning their victory against a good team. SHOULD HAVE BRANGH RERE OF ONTARIO MOTOR LEAGUE Motorists Would Find Agtive Connecâ€" tion with Provincial O¢ganization of Value to To and § Individual. ~More than one motorist in Timmins recently has urged the advisability of having an active branch of the Onâ€" tario Motor League here. Some years ago some thoughtful motorists organâ€" ized a motor league club here and much good work was accomplished, but the plan was not carried along in sucâ€" ceeding years, largely through lack of interest and attention on the part of the average motorist. There is a very active branch of the Ontario Motor League at Iroquois Falls and any moâ€" torist in that town can vouch for the value of the association. In many ways the organization gives motorists protection and assistance when on trips away from home, while the maps issued and the other data available are of the greatest value to the average motor car owner. In the case of Troquois Falls, an active motor league in that town has assured that part of the district to attention and care in the matter of roads that would not have been availâ€" able otherwise. The motor league preâ€" sents an opportunity for the discussion and consideration of questions affectâ€" ing the motorist, and when there are requests to be made to the powers that ;be a strong and active motor league with a large membership is full assurâ€" ance that the requests will receive the most careful consideration because they are backed by numbers and by organâ€" ized influence. In Iroquois Falls the members of the motor league receive their licenses at less cost than ordinary; they receive rebates in the purchase of gas#rom specified dealers; and in other ays they find the motor league memâ€" bership more than pays for itself directâ€" ly while its indirect benefit is still more noteworthy. In the matter of securing organized effort for the betâ€" lterment of roads in the district alone, it would be well worth while to organâ€" ize a motor league here. It might be a good idea for some of the officers of the former motor club here to call a meetâ€" here. formed here did considerable effective work.

This is probably a 68 per cent. collecâ€" tion of the taxes due. The taxes taken in include some arrears and also a few cases where both instalments were paid. Last year quite a number who were able to do so â€"~paid both instalments before the date set for the penalty on the first half. By so doing they avoidâ€" ed the chance of forgetting the second half when due and so incurring the penalty. On the other hand the taxes so paid in advance of the due date saved the town interest charges. Town taxes are coming in fairly well, though, perhaps, not so well as in some past years, though even at that collecâ€" tions this year are earlier so companiâ€" sons are not exactly possible with preâ€" vious years. Saturday was the last day for payment of the first instalment of taxes without penalty, and $88,860.00 was taken in. This was about $11,000, less than the amount taken in last year on the last day for the payment of the first instalment without penalty. Last year special notices was given the people calling attention to the last date for payment of the first instalment and this advertising no doubt helped the collections. The penalty is now in force on all first instalments of taxes not paid. Inâ€" deed, this year no days of grace were allowed, it being felt by the council that no extension should be given this year as it was necessary to get in the money for the town and save any inâ€" terest possible.
