EXPENDITURES SHOWN FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRIGTS Interesting Facts and Figures from t] Public Accounts of Ontario, Costs in Murder Trial _ Schools, School Car, Other \ Special Items. Elsewhere in this issue will be found an article in reference to receipts and expenditures relating to the public works of Ontario. This Ontario blue book has over 600 pages of statistics and tables relating to revenue and exâ€" penditures and Northern Ontario figâ€" ures in practically all departments. While the departments of Lands and Forests, Northern Development and Mines are practically concerned altoâ€" gether with North Land finances, there are other departmental items that have items specially relating to this section, so that a summary of the figures relatâ€", ing to the North would take considerâ€" able time and trouble to gather and very considerable space to publish. Mr. Frank Lendrum, the Cobalt representaâ€" tive of The North Bay Nugget and other newspapers, and of the Canadian Press, has made a very interesting summary of figures relating to the North. It is given below as follows:â€"â€" By repute, government blue books are distinctly dry reading, but the anâ€" nual publication known as the Public Accounts of Ontario contains a mine of information for the seeker after knowâ€" ledge interested in noting the cost of the various provincial services in the districts of Sudbury, Nipissing, Temisâ€" kaming and Cochrare, which among them cover this section of Northern Ontario. For instance, from the mass of figures which would have to be diâ€" gested to learn all of the details, it may be ascertained that prosecutions at the Assizes held in Cochrane last yearâ€"aAt one of which John Ivanchuk was tried for the murder of License Inspector T. H. Constable and sentenced to deathâ€" cost $1,194.97 in fees paid to A. B. Cunâ€" ningham, K.C., who acted for the Crown in the spring and again,in the fall. May We Help You! Similar services rendered by U. Mcâ€" Fadden at Sudbury were rewarded by the payment of $600.85 to that Soo lawyer, while the late R. R. McKesâ€" sock received $126.05. At ‘the other end of the table, it may be noted that prosecutions at the Temiskaming and Nipissing Assizes, where cases were few, cost only $40 each, the respective counsel bsing F. L. Smiley, K.C., and T. E. McKee, Crown Atlorneys for che Cistricts. Administration of jusâ€" vice in these districts cost as follows. Cochrane, $6,429.83; Nipissing, $13.â€" 701.99; Sudbury, $19,611.31, and Temâ€" iskaming, $19,128.01. Echoss of the 1â€"lb.

Wilâ€" liam Armisson was the miner who lost his life and John Jamieson was the one badly injured. The two men were working together and drilled into missed hole on one of the lower levels of the property. Armison was so badâ€" ly injured that he died about six hours afterwards. As soon as the accident happened both men were rushed to the Red Cross hospital at Kirkland Lake, but despite all that was done for him Armisson passed away. There was also the closest care and all possible skill and attention given to Jamieson but his condition remains serious. His head was penetrated by pieces of flying rock, but his recovery is hoped for. An inquest was ordered as in the case of each and every mining accident, but the date on which it will be held is deâ€" pendent for the present on the condiâ€" tion of the injured man. Armisson was only thirtyâ€"one years of. age and was unmarried. last provincial election are found in the payment of expenses to Judge Carâ€" on, at Cochrane,of $2,000, and to Judge Valin, at North Bay, and Judge Hartâ€" man, at Haileybury, of $500 each.

In the Cochrane divisiorn: there was expended $816,305.27, in Sudbury division $463,â€" 451.99 and in New Liskeard division $425,516.46. DELIGHTEUL EVENT CIVEN BV THE ST. DAVID‘S SOCIAY Very Pleasing Social Evening and Enâ€" tertainment Held by Welsh Folks in the Moose Hall on Saturday Evening Last. Another pleasing social and enterâ€"| tainment was held by the Cambrian‘ folk of Timmins and vicinity on Saturâ€"| day evening last at the Moose hall.| The event was a most successful ons inasmuch as it proved to be one of the factors bringing together the Welsh] people in this district. In referring to‘ the event one of the officers of the St. David‘s Society emphasized to The Adâ€"| vance the desirability of the Welsh folk of this town and district having a strong St. David‘s Society, There werel numbers of Welsh foikx who had just| come out to this country and if there were an active and useful society here it would mean a warm welcome for the newcomers, group Oof friends ready| made for them and timely assistance for them in the trying early days in a| new and strange land for them. The society would also prove a great beneâ€". fit and pleasure to those who had been some years in this country. This genâ€" tleman pointed out that no country has finer or more worthy history, tradiâ€" tions, music, etc., than Wales, and beâ€" â€"cause of these facts the touch with the Old Land and its inspiring story and stirring music is well worth while. In concluding his remarks this gentleman said:â€"*"To understand the full signiâ€" ficance of that fine old motto, which in English reads, "For the Honour of Wales," you must realize why the famâ€" ous little principality of Wales producâ€" ed our greatest line of sovereigns, the Tudors; produced Robert Owen, perhaps the greatest of all socialists; Dafydd ap Gwilym, the incomparable and unâ€" translatable bard; has given the world the famous Welsh University; the Ssouth Wales Borderers; the Welsh miners, perhaps the most heroic of the world‘s workers, because they can acâ€" tually sing in the gloom of the Rhondâ€" da valley!" The programme opened with the singing of the Welsh national anthem. Then came a fine pianoforte solo by Miss Meredith. This was a remarkably good number and won very insistent encore, this talented young pianist reâ€" ‘sponding with a pleasing presentation of "Missouri Waltz." Evan Williams, the popular baritone, excelled himself with the solo, "Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves," a composition by Handel. In answer to the encore given Mr. Wilâ€" liams again delighted all with his reâ€" ponding number. Little Mary Jones showed her usual talent and capability in her recitation, "The Three Fishers." She received a decided recall and as her second number gave in effective way the recitation, "Grandpapa‘s Specâ€" tacles." There was considerable disâ€" appointment from‘the fact that Linda Grant was unable to sing as expected, owing to a cold. The tenor solo by T. Williams was given in very effective manner. It was the classic, ‘"Danny Boy," and delighted the gathering. As an encore Mr. Williams favoured with the solo, "Why Do I Always Rememâ€" ber?" which was greatly appreciated by all. Lewis Griffith‘s novelty number caused roars of laughters, and all will be looking forward to another such number in the near future. To come back to the Saturday evenâ€" ing event, the social and entertainment feature was well attended, everyone enjoying the good refreshments served and the excellent programms. There was an abundance of tea, coffee, sandâ€" wiches, cake, etc. Councillor J. E. Williams of Schuâ€" macher, who takes a great interest in the folks from Wales, was present. A note of regret at inability to be present owing to the annual band banquet that evening was received from"*G. A. Macâ€" donald, editor of The Advance. During the interval games were enâ€" joyed by old and young. One game in particular caused round after round of laughter as the "victims‘"‘ were comâ€" ing to "their doom." It was the generâ€" al opinion that this gem of entertainâ€" ment must have originated in the clever mind of the president. In the second part of the programme, Mrs. Hector Jones and Evan Williams gave one of the outstanding hits of the evening in the duet, "Larboard Watch." The rich soprano of Mrs. Jones blended eautifully with the clear timbre 0o‘ Mr. Williams‘ baritone voice. Unpreâ€" pared with any further duets, the deâ€" mand for an encore was so insistent and persistent that they had to reâ€" spond by singing the first part of the number again and this was much apâ€" preciated by the gathering, all of whom were certainly well pleased this duet. The genial and popular A. G. Bellamy pleased all with his presentation of "Little Pal," and his number in reâ€" sponse to the encore was given in most attractive way. This second number was the favourite, "Bells of the Sea." Mrs. Seylor, back from her sojcurn in Torontc, gave the acme of elocutionary art in her talented rendering of "The Two Frogs," a delightful poem presentâ€" ed in faultless style. It was easy to see her Welsh training in the attractive delivery of her second number given in response to the clamor for more. Georgie Meredith, a new discovery to most of those present, delighted all with two songs presented in most atâ€" tractive way. The second song in particular made distinct apreal to all his hearers. Community singimg by all brought to a close a most successful effort on beâ€" half of the Welsh Society. It is hoped that another similar event will be held in the near future. A special word of praise is due the accompanist, Gwyn Kinsey, who performed his duty in most admirable manner and was ably assisted by Miss B. Meredi‘th and Tomâ€" my Bird.

IGNITED GREASE CAUSES $25,000 LOss AT NORTH BAY Carp Review:â€"Complaint has been made of loitering and noise in the lobby of the Carp post office when the mails are being sorted. The inâ€" spector has informed the postmaster that he must keep better order and suggests that the department be furâ€" nished with the names of the offendâ€" ers and he will take the necessary steps to prosecute. He also suggested the locking of the door during the sorting of the mails The work of sorting mail requires the utmost attention and patiâ€" ence of the postmaster and his assisâ€" tants and they cannot be expected to do their duties thoroughly when there is unnecessary talking and shuffling going on within their hearing. * 82282 202 24" 66. c“.“:’s“.“.“.“‘“O“O”Q“.“O‘ fe«x? @ #* *# © *# ® 4+ *4 *4 * + *# *# # *#* + *4 # « ¢#4 ®@ h +> #@ 4 *4 @ c *4 * La ## *# #4 # «# ## + © #4 #4 * + ## ® # ## # # ## #4 *# *4 *# # ** #46 *4 + # #* ## * Ld +4 *4 #* #* w + #4 # *# w # *#* < *4 *#, .@ *4 ##4 #* + *4 *#* #* *# *# *4 * + #4 *# 4+ *4 *4 * # *4 ® L #* * L *4 * € #* *# *4 *# # #4 *, .. 604 Northern Ontario Building Toronto 2 Phone Adelaide 8354â€"8355 120091 P : AP PAAA LAAA L ALC LAAA CC L CA PC PP l AP P l l «t eP lt P P U P IP P ol P es # DOMINICN BANE BUILDING Opposite Goldfields Hotel Moct Modern Equipment 12% PINE ST., SOUTH $.

London (Engiand) Daily Chronicle: "Now that Canada has a woman senaâ€" tor, the bitter cry of the British peerâ€" esses, who hold their titles in their own right, and who are excluded from the House of Lords, is sure to become louder. They claim that there is no law which keeps them out because of their sex, and it is probable they will make their next attempt through the courts, as the Canadian women did. Hitherto they have appealed to the Lords to admit them. Now they are meditating a more aggressive move, 8. L, LEES, Mgr. PHONE 112 Residence PHONE 135 Phone 51
