The members of the party were greatly impressed by the majestic beauty of Abitibi Canyon. It may be said that while the towering banks of the canyon are immense, and the cable bridge thrown across the canyon makes one dizzy even to look at from below. to say nothing of walking on this swingâ€" ing walk, the power does not come from any immense falls, but from a series of falls There are six of these rapids, Lopstick, Burntwood, Clay, Birch, Oilcan and Abitibi Canyon. The falls of these range from 16 to 91 feet, Leaving Cochrane the party went by rail as far as Fraserville on the exâ€" tension of the 1. N. O. From there the party had a fourâ€"mile walk to the Abitibi Canyon, the site of the power development. Abitibi Canyon is apâ€" proximately 68 miles north of Cochrane. In a few days the construction comâ€" pany will have completed a spur line from Fraserville, Mileage to the power site. Lang and Ross have the contract to build the transmission line connecting Island Falls and Abitibi Canyon. From Island Falls the power will be delivered to a subâ€"station at Hunta, east of Cochrane, and the forâ€" mer Hollinger tower bases will be used as far as the Porcupine camp. The visitors were the guests of the Cochrane board of trade Tuesday evenâ€" ing. at a banquet that was featuured by a general fine time and some reâ€" markably fine addresses. Outstanding among the addresses was one by Alex Dewar on the pontentialities of the country north of Cochrane. A. V. Waters, MP.P., S. J. Dempsay, Mayor Mitchell, of Cochrane and W. H. Smith, secretaryâ€"treasurer of the Abitibi Co., also delivered interesting addresses. During the evening it was announced that a township east of Cochrane had been named in honour of S. J. Dempâ€" Liast week the Hudson‘s Bay Power Oo., Limited, a subsidiary of the Abitibi Power Paper Co., Ltd., took a numâ€" ber of newspapermen on a trip to Abitibi Canyon, the site of the new power development to supply the Sudâ€" bury field.

PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 2962 2 Sections â€" 16 Pages The party also visited Island Falls where they enjoyed lunch. The Island Falls development was formerly owned by the Hollinger but was taken over by the Abitibi Co. The power plant is about thrre miles from the main line of the T. N. O. The newspapermen visited the Island Falls centre by way of "speeders," the way being a cold one in the weather of the day. Island Falls is 25 miles south of the Canyon. About 60,000 h.p. is developed, this being carâ€" ried over a transmission line of 81} miles, at a pressure of 110,000 volts, to Ircoquois Falls mill of the Abitibi Co., where it is used partly for steam generâ€" ation and partly for industrial purposes. The hospitality and kindness of the Abitibi Co. and the T. N. O. were greatly appreciated by the party, all the member of which found the trip remarkably interesting and memorâ€" able one. Mrs. C. G. Keddie left last week for Vancouver, stopping over at Winnipeg and Jasper Park. progress and development as well as the commencement of the town of Timâ€" mins. The late L. H. Timmins was one of the directors of the Hollinger, and until recent years he made freâ€" quent visits here where he had hosts of friends and admirers. During the past few years the late Mr. Timmins Ih?.d been gradually withdrawing from ! active business. FPersonally he was of ‘quiet and retiring disposition, but was i much admired by those who knrnew him | woll. He was known to assist materiâ€" ‘ally in philantrophic and social work but preferred to do this without pubâ€" |licity. The development of the power at Abiâ€" tibi Canyon will involve an expenditure of around twentyâ€"three million dollars, and from 2,000 to 2,500 men will be emâ€" ployed at the work of development for the next eighteen months or more. It is expected that the contract will be let in the next day or so. Owing to the tremendous depth of the Abitibi Canâ€" yon the area to be flooded will be comâ€" paratively small, nor more than 1,006 acres according to the estimates made. In connection with the development work it is said a large quantity of comâ€" mercial spruce will be taken out ‘from the lands above the Canyon. The height of the Abitibi Canyon at its highest point is about 200 feet. The cable bridge over the towering Canyon was a special point of interest and comâ€" ment for the visitors. A picture of the Abitibi Canyon is given elsewhere in this issue and from this view some idea of the size of the canyon may be gathâ€" ered. with 14.35 feet drop ‘between these rapids, the total head of water being 240 feet. The estimated power of the development is 275,000 electrical horseâ€" power. Of this 100,000 horse power is sold to the Hydroâ€"Electric Power Comâ€" mission of Ontario; the balance to be used by the Abitibi Co., for steam generation at its plants t Troquois Falls and Smooth Rock Falls. The power site is situated in the James Bay watershed on the Abitibi river, 68 miles north of Cochrane and about 570 miles north of Toronto. It is well to remember that the Abitibi fHows north. When the Abitibi Canyon development is complete, the Abitibi Co. will have 390,000 h.p. on the Abitibi river, as well as 109,000 h.p. elsewhere. The funeral on Tuesday of this weel was very largely attended. Requien high mass was said at St. Leo‘s Church Westmount, and interment was madd in Coteâ€"desâ€"Neiges cemetery. The funeral was attended by prominent people from all circles in Montreal and The late L. H. Timmins is survived by his widow, who was formerly Miss A. Pare, of Lachine, and also by two sons and two daughters. The sons are L. H. Timmins, Jr., and Jules R. Timâ€" mins, while the daughters are Mrs. R. R. Costello, of New York, and Mrs. D.

Four of the Timmins High School lads are going this week to the annual field and track meeting held under the auspices of the Ontario Athletic Commission at North Bay on Saturday, June "th. This is the athletic meet for District No. 8, the district in which this part of the North is included. Certain standards are set and the schools select representatives able to qualify. The Timmins had a number up to the required standards but all could not enâ€" ter the competition on account of the expense of the trip to North Bay. The High School, however, has selected four athletes of particular talent to repreâ€" sent the school and these no doubt will give a specially good account of themâ€" selves. W.

Each year for several years past, the Balvation Army has been holding a tag day here in conâ€" nection with the,annua.l S.A. Selfâ€"deniâ€" al Week campriign. The money securâ€" ed from the tag day goes to the rescue and relief work of the Army. The soâ€" cilal work of the Salvation Army is carâ€" ried on irrespective of creed or other consideration except the need, and much good is done. FEach year in Timâ€" mins scores of individuals and families are helped by the Army and as the work is carried on with the direct purâ€" pose of helping people to help themâ€" selves and not simply as charity, the effectiveness of the work is particularâ€" ly noteworthy. Every dollar spent in the Army‘s reseue and relief work does about two dollars‘ worth of good, so tag day should be well supported here on Tuesday next, June 10th. Salvation Army Tag Day, Tuesday, June 10th In addition there will be many going by car if the road is at all good. These include:â€"S. T. Walker, Dr. Honey, V. Woodbury, A. D. Pearce and others.

WTYJWU GADETS ON PARADE FOR INSPEGT Many From Timmins to go to Shriners‘ Convention Wednesday of this week Major Mawâ€" ron was in Timmins for the annual inâ€" spection of the Cadets at the Central public school. The boys went through their drills and movements with unusuâ€" al effectiveness and precision and won very general commendation. Jack Lake was captain of the Cadets and won from the inspecting officer the praise that he was the smallest and most efficient Cadet captain he had seen in his inspections. Major Mawron also had special praise for the undoubtâ€" ed fine work of Mr, Roberts, who in this his first year with the Cadet work on his shoulders, had made so excellent a showing with the boys and trained them to so high a standard of efficiency. There were ninetyâ€"two Cadets on parâ€" ade and all did remarkably well in every way. It was a most attractive sight to see the boys at drill and in the various movements. As one spectator remarked it would have cured Miss Agnes Macphail, M.P., of her opposiâ€" tion to Cadet work in the school. It was very evident that the work is of great value in teaching the lads disâ€" cipline, attention and skill, and keepâ€" ing them in good physical condition. The music for the lads on the march and in the drills was supplied by the Victrola purchased by the pupils from the proceeds of concerts held by them. imoved of great value and the boys . chey had the good of their own enâ€" »â€"rorvise in the matter. A large numâ€" >r of citizens gathered round the Cenâ€" cral school yard and watched the inâ€" spection with much interest.

The lists are being made by enumeraâ€" tors in the cities and towns, these enuâ€" merators going from door to door and securing the names of all eligible to vote. For the town of Timmins there are 27 divisions, including the special one for the hospital. There is an enuâ€" merator for the Government and one appointed by the opposing party or the returning officer, in case the party does not submit suitable names. These enuâ€" merators travel in pairs, the idea being that the one checks up on the other. The enumerators in Timmins are apâ€" parently getting through their work well and will be finished this week. J. D. Mackay, sheriff, Cochrane, is the returning officer for this riding.

Bradette, the present member, will be the choice of the Liberal convention at Cochrane on June 18th. Mr. Bradette has provâ€" en a popular member with his party and no opriysition lhmas developed to his candiGature. It appears to be a foregone conclusion that he will rescue the nomination again and there is not likely to be any others named. Conâ€" sequently, this part of the convention business will be soon disposed of and it will be possible to devote the greater part of the time to addresses by the prominent men expected to be present for the occasion. The convention is to be a big rally day for the Liberals of the riding of North Temiskaming. There will be at least one Federal Cabinet Minister present for the cccasion and there may be two. In any case there will be good addresses on the topics of the day by leading public men.

Many Matters of Interest Disâ€" cussed on Tuesday Evening This Week. After the meeting there was a direcâ€" tors‘ meeting at which was made the regular Lieut.â€"Governor‘s report, and the matter of Kiwanis affairs in genâ€" eral was dwelt upon in detail. One of the most important matters before the club was the question of testing out the feeling at Cochrane in regard to establishing a Kiwanis Club there. A number of the members here agreed to visit Cochrane last night for this purpse. Those who made the trip were:â€"Carl Eyre (president, J. R. Walâ€" ker, W. Rinn, Arch Gillies, Reg. Smith, J. D. Tolman, K. Fitzpatrick, C, Ci. Keddie, W. H. Wilson, F. Rodgers, and J. Ryan (past president of the Sault Ste. Marie Kiwanis). They went by car and found the road bad to th» Junction but good enough from there to Cochrane. They were very emphatic that the two or three bad patches on the road to the Junction should be fixâ€" ed at once, especially those whose cars were mired. There was no difficulty on the Junction to Cochrane section where there is lots of gravel on the roads and good ditching. At Cochrane the Timâ€" mins Kiwanis put on a regular Kiwanis meeting to allow the Cochrane people to judge for themselves. There were thirtyâ€"five or forty present at this meeting, including many of the leading men of Cochrane, and all seemed to be interested and pleased. President Carl Eyre was in the chair and there were many interesting features. Among those present with Timmins for the occasion were Kiwanian Geo. W. Lee, chairman of the T. N. O., as well as Kiwanian Ralph Taylor, District Lieuâ€" tenantâ€"Governor of the Kiwanis. TENNIS GLUB PLANNING FOR INTERâ€"TOWN MATGHES PRICE FIVE
