other fine bass voice was that of Morâ€" lais Wrench, whose singing of "The Trumpeter" was another of the outâ€" standing features of Saturday evening. Theâ€"gifted young pianist, Norman Evans, added to the perfection of the programme by his effective accompaniâ€" ments. He also favoured with pianoâ€" forte solos that were gre~+*ly appreciatâ€" Only a few of the sixteen singers were heard as soloists, but these gave delight as marked as from the choir numbers. Harry Williams, lyric tenor, has a voice of singular sweetness and expressiveness. In numbers such as ‘"My Little Welsh Home," and "Soft and Pure," his remarkable voice was heard to advantage. Elwyn Edwards, only seventeen years of age, has a notâ€" tenor voice of range, richness and high promise. He won most enthusiasâ€" tic encores. His numbers included:â€" "There‘s a Land," and "Only a Tiny Garden." The duets by Jabez. Trevor, tenor, and Howell Williams, baritone, were most effective both as to the voiceos and the sympathetic interpretaâ€" tion. The magnificent baritone of Mr. Williams was heard with keen appreciâ€" ation also in solo parts in several of the numbers. The duets included, "Watchâ€" man, What of the Night," and "Plant y Cedyrnn." The tenor solo, "Mountain Lovers," by Jebez Trevor was an outâ€" standing number that won special reâ€" call. Henryd Jones, baritone, has a fine voice of much range, richness and. expressiveness. His numbers included, "Credo," and "The Blind Ploughman." Gooxi bass voices are not too common and ones of the richness and power and expression of Jack Newbury are rare indeed. He won unstinted applause with his presentation of "O Isis and Osiris," while his singing of "I Passed by Your Window" was one of the bigâ€" gest hits of a great programme. Anâ€" Friday evening the accommodation was well filled to greet the Welsh Imâ€" perial Singers. The choir were in atâ€" tractive Welsh costume, the oldâ€"time garb of the director, R. Festyn Davies, with its lace and ruffies and silk hose being especially pleasing. From the opening number, ‘The March of the Men of Harlech," to the last selection, the evening was one of variety, interest and musical delight. The advance noâ€" tices that every man in the choir was a soloist of high merit was proven beâ€" yond question; as a choir the work of ‘the singers was perfect. Not only were the members of the choir remarkable in their talent, but it was easy to see that the director is a genius in his line. The response of the singers one and all to the conductor‘s slightest sign was one of the outstanding features noted. In solos, duets, glees, partâ€"songs and chboruses, the Welsh Imperial Singers showed a perfection that proved their worldâ€"wide fame to be wellâ€"earned. "Their repertoire makes particular popular appeal, though there is not single number that is not good music, nor one that is not presented in most effective way, Among the partâ€"songs and choruses given on the two evenings were:â€""A Farewell," "In Absence,”{ *"Carry Me Back to Old Virginny," ‘"Boys of the Old Brigade," "The S:mgi of the Jolly Roger," "All Through the NWight" i(in Welsh), "The Lost Chord," *"‘Bleep, Gentle Lady," "Ye Banks and Brages," By Babylon‘s Wave," "Little ‘Tommy,‘ "I‘m aâ€"Longing for You," "Dafydad y Gareg Wen," "A Song of the Armadia," "Killarney," "In the Sweet Bye and Bye," "The Lost Chord."’ "*Bword of Ferrara," ‘"Kentucky Babe," "Pilgrim‘s Chorus," "Cuckoo" (in Welsh). Several of these were repeated the second night by special request, the programme for Saturday night, inâ€" deed, being largely chosen from the mrinted programmes by the audience. To suggest any special favourites in the list would be only to indicate some perâ€" sonal preferences. All were excellentl and all were enjoyed. The fine voices, the musical training, the marvellous skill of the director and the blended beauty and harmony of the chorus made the singing a genuine joy to all. The Welsh Imperial Singers left on and at the time of leaving here to secure a suitable hall large enough to accommodate the crowd. R. Festyn Davies, expressed the pleasure felt at the appreciation shown and said that the singers would be willing to call again at Timmins for a night on their return from the West. This was greeted with very hearty applause, and the only difficulty in the matter will be It would be impossible to exaggerate the delight given to the people in genâ€" eral in Timmins, practically all of whom are musicâ€"lovers, by the visit here of the Welsh Imperial Singers last week. This famous choir was at the United Church on Friday and Saturday, under the auspices of the Timmins Welsh Choir, and they were greeted by large houses on each occasion. Many who enjoyed the musical feast on Friâ€" day evening returned on Saturday evening for more. The audiences were most appreciative. In a word, they were delighteod, and they plainly showâ€" ed the pleasure they felt in the wonâ€" derful music provided.

The next bonspiel of the association, it was decided, will be held at Sault Ste. Marie in 1931. morning before the final decision was reached. Even at that hour there were comparatively large numbers of specâ€" tators so keen was the interest in the competition. I. A. Solomon‘s rink brought back with them the coveted McKellar troâ€" phy, the handsome cup now on display in the window of D. Ostrosser Co., where also is shown the other silverâ€" ware won by the Timmins curlers at the Sudbury bonspiel. The McKeliar trophy is one of the outstanding troâ€" phies of the annual bonspiel of the Norâ€" thern Ontario Curling Association, and is yearly the object of keenest competiâ€" tion by the rinks of the North. Skip Solomon and the other members of his rink are being heartily complimented by curlers in general on their sucéess. The victory was a notable one in many ways. There were three cases where thirâ€" sen ends were necessary, and furtherâ€" more on Friday night, or, rather, Saturâ€" day morning it was necessary to conâ€" tinue curling until four o‘clock in the E.

The marriage took place very quietly at the United Church manse, the Rev. Brugse Millar officiating. Miss Ruby Hawkins acted as bridesmaid, and the groom was supported by Mr. W. L. Booth. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. Elvin L. Urquhart, was charmingly gowned in brown silk velvet, trimmed with ecru lace. Her travelling costume was a light brown broadcloth coat, with brown squirrel trimming, and a closeâ€"fitting velvet hat in harmonizing shades of sand and brown. A wedding of more than usual inâ€" terest took place at 9.30 a.m. on Saturâ€" day, Feb. 8th, when Bernice Mae, yvoungest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Urquhart, Timmins, became the bride of Mr. F.

The secretary of the Prospectors‘ and Claim Owners‘ Association was asked to write the Minister of Health for Ontario and other authorities in the matter. The chief matter for discussion was the fact that at present there seems to be no authority to meet the expenses for any relieft for people living in ubhorâ€" ganized territory when they become iil and in want and have no relatives or friends to care for them. One case was particularly mentioned, this being that of an oldâ€"time prospector ill for some time with gland trouble.

Resolution Asks Government to Look After Sick and Unfortunate in Unâ€" organized Districts When Need is Shown. PROSPEGTORS PETMTION FOR HELP FOR INDIGENTS TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 13th, 1930 l Rumours around town last week to |the effect that the Government inâ€" tended to start construction work on the Kamiskotia railway at once gained | wide currency and created much interâ€" ‘est and some excitement for a brief time until a message from A. F. Kenâ€" ning, M. L. A., who is Toronto, gave the information that the was not founded on fact, as the Government had made no announcement in the matter. It is understood that the reâ€" port originated through a telegram sent to North Bay and signed "Ferguâ€" son," this being the first name of the | person alleged to have sent the wire. This wire suggested an early start on the building of the extension to Kamisâ€" kotia, and the signature appended to 't.he wire suggested that it came from the highest authority in the matter, the premier of the province. Later inâ€" formation, however, proved that Hon. Mr. Ferguson had sent no such wire and had made no announcement suggestlon in regard to the building of. the extension at this time. In view‘ of the general desire among so many interested for a railway to Kamisâ€" kotia, and in view of the recent deâ€" velopments in the Kamiskotia area, there were many very ready to believe the reports regarding the building of the new line. Others, however, were dubious from the start, feeling that beâ€" fore any announcement was made in the matter there would be preliminary indication of the intention to make an early start on the building of the line. Though last week‘s rumours were preâ€" mature there are many who believe that new developments in Kamiskotia make an announcement relative to the railway not improbable for the notâ€" | distant future. There was suspicion that the wire to North Bay that reâ€" sulted in the crop of rumours last week was designed to influence stock market i affairs, and this feature is being invesâ€" { tigated. | % t N P P PP P L P PA WPP P Report That Government Intended to Commence Extension at Once Not * Founded on Fact.

T0 PRESENT PAGEANT OF â€"cANADIAN HiSTORY HERE With receipts from the November concert an orthophonic was purchased for use in the school for the pupils‘ marching. It is planned this time to put the receipts toward the purchase of a lantern for the projection of eduâ€" cational pictures on cards, cutâ€"outs, slides and films in connection with the teaching of geography, history, nature study, hygiene and safety first in the various class rooms in the school. Slides and films, specially prepared for use in the classroom, may be obtained free of charge from the various deâ€" partments of the government.

Another concert is being prepared by the pupils of Central school, to be presented on the nights of Thursday and Friday, Feb. 27th and 28th in the school auditorium. The concert is to take the form of a "Pageant of Canaâ€" dian History," consisting of choruses, readings, and dialogues in scenes deâ€" picting the various features of Canada‘s storyâ€"Indians, French explorers, early French pioneers, a scene of the First Parliament, United Empire Loyalists, a scene of Canadian life about 1830, some Ancther Concert to be Given at Cenâ€" Timmins:â€"goal, Hudnott; defence, Krupka, Godin; wings, Doran, Michaelâ€" son; centre, Cattarello; subs, McKinâ€" non, Laflamme, Riche.

Clarke. | By losing the game in this group of the Junior N.O.H.A. to Monteith on Monday night at â€"Iroquois Falls the Timmins Juniors lost all but one slim chance of any opportunity for group honours. That one small chance is that Monteith will defeat Iroquois Falls 'on Friday evening. This would make a threeâ€"cornered tie, and Timmins would have another chancs to come out on top. No one is holding out too much hope in this line. If Iroquois Falls wins from Monteith, Timmins is definitely out of the running and the honours go to the Falls Juniors. The Timmins Juniors made a brave start this season, but have appeared to fall down just when they most needed to keep up. In Monday night‘s game they actually scored three of the five goals against them. Four other goals agains Timmins Juniors this season have been scored by Timmins players. To score seven goals against themselves in eight games is going some. The game at Iroquois Falls on Monâ€" day night between the Timmins and Monteith Juniors was a hardâ€"fought battle, but the Timmins lads did not fight hard enough to win. Practically throughout the boys of the Academy had the edge on the play and won on merit, though the Timmins team has generally been ocnsidered as supsric: to the Monteith one this season. For Mcnteith on Monday the Clarke lads starred. It was the Clarke brothers who scored three goals between them in the last few minutes of play, with the help of awkward work on the part of some of the Timmins players, to give a win to the Monteith lads after the score had been tied, 2 to 2. The following is the lineâ€"up of the two teams for Monday night‘s game:â€"â€" TLMMINS JUNIORS HAVE ~ ONLY ONF SMALL CHANCE Lost to Monteith at Iroquois Fall Monday Night, Only Chan is That Monteith May Tie Things all Round.

A special feature of the meeting of the Northern Associated Boards of Trade held at Ansonville last week was the banquet tendered the visitors by the Ansonville Board of Trade in the Capitol hotel, Ansonville. The arrangements for the event were well made, the menu was excellent and the evening proved a very enjoyable one for all. Indeed, several of the deleâ€" gates from outside points agree that this banquet and the meeting in genâ€" eral were probably the most pleasing and successful of any of the recent Associated Boards of Trade events. This week the McIntyre Cup comâ€" petition is on at the Timmins curling rink. The competition is being playâ€" ed by four groups of five teams each. ANSONVILLE BANQUETS VISITING BOARDS OF TRADE In the viceâ€"skip‘s competition here the winning rink was W. King‘s who won from E. H. Hill‘s rink. The winâ€" ning rink was as follows:â€"W. L. Hoâ€" garth, J. E. Gurnell, J. M. Douglas, W. King, skip. The educational picture, "The End of the Road," was brought here to the New Empire theatre under the joint auspices of the Porcupine Medical Asâ€" sociation and the Timmins Kiwanis Club. There were a number of the Kiwanis assisting in the arrangements for the show and acting as ushers and otherwise assisting at the various showâ€" ings of the picture. The purpose of the Medical Association and the Kiwanis _Club in the matter was to assist in the campaign against the spread of venâ€" ereal diseases, and it would appear that much good has been accomplished, as the picture showed in very effective and unobjectionable way the danger from venereal diseases and the terrible contequences of this modern menace. The film carried a story cleverly plannâ€" ed and impressive in its lessons. It gave needed information as to the many ways in which venereal diseases are spread and the terrible conseâ€" quences not only to this generation but ones through these diâ€" seases. In sobering scenes and by skilâ€" ful suggestion the film forced home the lesson of the need for care to avoid what has been termed the modern plague. It was shown that even the innocent were not protected from the dangers against which the film gave warning, and in impressive manner the picture showed that the right sort of knowledge inducing personal purity and safeguards against social disease are necessary for the welfare of all. wW. KING WON VICEâ€"SKIP‘S COMPETITION EVENT HERE On Tuesday afternoon after the maâ€" tinee there was a special showing of the film, "The End of the Road," for men only. This was another capacity house. In addition there were showings for men after the evening shows both Monâ€" day and Tuesday to allow all opporâ€" tunity to see "The End of the Road." The educational film, "The. End of the Road," shown here on Monday and Tuesday drew very large houses for each presentation. The matinee on Monday afternoon after the regular show was for ladies only and there was so large a crowd that several hundred had to be turned away after the house had been filled to capacity. To allow those who were unable to get in Monâ€" day afternoon, there was a special imnatines put on by the theatre on Tuesâ€" day with a nominal charge of a quarâ€" ter, the programme including the reguâ€" lar pictures at the New Empire as well as the educational film, "The End of the Road."

There were about thirtyâ€"five guests present and a good time was enâ€" joyed by all. The evening was spent in music and dancing. There was a very dainty lunch served. Mr. Pooley reâ€" ceived a cigarette lighter from the fireâ€" men and the ladies present gave Mr. and Mrs. Pooley a beautiful Wilton rug.

So far as can be learned the deceased had no near relaâ€" tives in this country. His mother resides in Finland, where he was born, and during his lucid periods here the unfortunate man‘s chief anxiety was in regard to his mother‘s feelings. He wanted her notified that he was ill, but the nature of his trouble kept from her. He was of the opinion that he would soon recover. The late Hugo Valsi had been a resident of Timmins for several years. He was well liked and respectâ€" ed by all who knew him and there was general regret at his illness, which came upon him suddenly, and for his sad death. At the time of death he owned couple of houses in town and had a thousand dollars in the bank according to his friends. SURPRISE PARTY GIVEN AND PRESENTATIONS MADE An inquest was held on Monday, the coroner‘s jury returning a verdict that Valsi committed suicide while insane. The jury added a rider recommending proper facilities and special guards for persons detained in jail to await transâ€" fer to an institution for the mentally afflicted. The evidence of Dr. Arnold, the jail physician, and of John Mailty, the chief jailer, showed that no special provision had been made at Haileybury jail for the care of insane persons. It also was said that these patients someâ€" times had to be held at Haileybury for several weeks before they could be transferred to an institution. Hugo Valsi, who conducted a poolâ€" room at the corner of Fourth avenue and Maple street, hanged himself at the Haileybury jail at an early hour on Saturday morning. He had been acting queerly last week and at the suggestion of friends he was taken in charge by the provincial police. . At police court last week he was adjudged tas needing treatment for mental trouâ€" ble and was sent to the Haileybury jail on Friday to await transfer to an inâ€" |st.itution for the mentally afflicted. He suffered from delusions that someone was attempting to poison him and that certain enemies sought his life. He also was in a mental state in which he ’threatened the lives of others he knew. While in the Timmins jail he had lucid times during which he realized that he was mentally affiicted. During his stay in the Timmins jail awaiting transâ€" fer to Haileybury he was carefully watched so that he might not injure himself. Most of the time he was quiet but he had spells in which he sought to endanger the lives of others and his own life. Provincial officers took him down on the train on Friday, and had some difficulty controlling him. After his arrival at the Haileybury jail he is understood to have threatened to hang himself with his belt, and the belt was taken away from him and other plans adopted so far as possible to prevent him causing himself any injury. During the night or early morning, however, he used a blanket to hang himself in his cell. It was only a short time before this that he had been visited in the cell by a guard and found to be quieted down and apparâ€" ently in no danger.
