LOGCAL MEMBER DENIES ANY INTENTION OF RESIGNING A. F. Kenning, ML.A., Says Article Toronto Telegram is a Misunderâ€" standing of the Situation. Wants More Money for Roads in This Part of the North. Monday evening‘s Toronto Teiegram received in town last night carried an article suggesting that A. E. Kenning, member in the provincial parliament for the riding of South Cochrane, was considering resigning his seat on acâ€" count of dissatisfaction with the treatâ€" ment given this riding. To The Adâ€" vance last night Mr. Kenning denied the truth of the suggestion. "I am not considering resigning," he said "my chief thought at the present time being to look after the interests of this part of the North and to help in the fight on now to defeat the Liberal candidate in this riding and so help to rid the ecountry of the incompetent King Government." VolI. XV. No. 24 The article in The Telegram, under the heading:â€""Claims Riding is Neâ€" glected, May Resign. South Cochrane Member Admits Considering Step. Amicable Settlement is Looked For," reads as follows:â€" A vette im "Alfred F. Kenning, M.P.P., South Cochrane, is considering his resignation in the Provincial Legislature, it was Jearned toâ€"day at Parliament Buildings. Mr. Kenning‘s resignation is said to be contemplated as a protest against what hne regards as lack of coâ€"cperation on the part of Queen‘s Park with his ridâ€" ing. Spoken to over the telephone by The Telegram at his home at Timmins Mr. Kenning admitted he was considerâ€" ing his resignation. ‘"There is nothing G@efinite at present," said Mr. Kenning. "The matter is under consideration. I tO*day." Questioned as to the reason for his resignation, Mr. Kenning said: "I canâ€" not get any recognition for my riding Ihave noi been able to get consideration for appointments." During the last few weeks, Mr. Kenning has been a eanstant visitor to Queen‘s Park, holdâ€" ing conferences with some of the minâ€" isters. While no definite statement is forthcoming from Queen‘s Park, it is said Mr. Kenning‘s recommendations for appointments in various branches of governmental employment have been overlgoked. With this situation in mind, it is said Mr. Kenning in disgust has decided to throw up the sponge and open the seat on a byâ€"election. Openâ€" ing the seat for byâ€"election at this time would not be met with any favour at Queen‘s Park. With the Federal elecâ€" tion coming. Queen‘s Park Tories would not want any provincial seat to be either vacant or open to contest. Premier Ferguson, who spoke in Glengarry County, on Saturday, is said to be taking a brief rest at his farm at Kemptville and will not be back to his office for some days. It may be that Premier Ferguson will step into the difficulty and settle the matter amicably before Mr. Kenning‘s resignâ€" ation is received. Mr. Kenning has held the riding for South Cochrane since the Ferguson Government came into power. He has been one of the most popular and active members in the House, and a reported strength in the north country." To The Advance last night Mr. Kenâ€" ning had nothing to say in objection to any appointments in the riding, and he was emphatic in denying considering resigning. He said his one complaint was in regard to money for settlers‘ roads. He thought that at least a half wmillion dotlars should be spent for roads in this part of the North. Roads were needed for settlers and in view of the fact that the appropriation for Northern Development work had been doubled at least there should be no decrease in the amount allotted to this riding for new roads and improved Roy Hamilton, who has made a notâ€" able name for himself in Timmins and district as a boxer, left this week to take up residence in Kirkland Lake for the present. He has been a resiâ€" dent of Timmins for several years and has been very popular here, winning friends not only by his striking ability as a boxer but also by his nice disâ€" position and genial personality. In reâ€" cent appearances in the ring at Kirkâ€" fand Lake he has made a big hit and as a result there has been a decided effort to induce him to take up resiâ€" ROY HAMILTON LEFT FOR KIRKLAND LAKE THIS WEEK dence at Kirkland Lake. Hosts of friends and admirers in Timmins and district will regret his leaving here while he will be followed with the best wishes for his success in the future. This young man has displayed the most unusual ability as a fighter and has apparently a most promising future in the ring. In his class he is a boxer of phenomenal ability. Though in the game but a short time he was runnerâ€" up for provincial championship honours this year and made a very decided hit by his talent and bearing in the ring in the provincial arena. passed away.

Simms received a cable from the Old Country on Friday giving him the sad news that his mother had 3 Sections â€" 20 Pages .*-'.{ing it over with my constituents KIWANIS GOLF MATGH 18 BF PLAYED ON WEDNFSDAY At the regular weskly luncheon of the Kivwanis Club on Monday at the Emâ€" pire hotel, there was a general discusâ€" sicn of matters of interest to the club members, many of special importance hbeing brought forward. Prcbably the proposed golf match beâ€" tween Kiwanis golfers and a repreâ€" sentative group from the Hollinger may be classed as the specially interesting feature of the general discussion. There seemed to be no doubt on the part of the Kiwanis but that the sugâ€" gestion made by Kiwanian Vincent Woodbury as to the golf match should be carried out. Arrangements were under way along this line, the gatherâ€" inz was informed, and to this it may be added that the arrangements have meanwhile been completed and the muchâ€"discussed golf match between the Kiwanis and the Hollinger is deâ€" finitely set to be played on Wednesâ€" day, June 18th, after 3 p.m. Under the terms of the contest, the losers are to iiy for the luncheon after the match. The Kiwanians are so sure of winning that they are already studying bills of fare to pick out and enjoy a specially gocd luncheon for Wednesday of next week after the golf match with the Hollinger representatives. Discusâ€"ions on Matters of General Inâ€" ‘crest to Club at the Weekly Luncheon of the Timrains Kiâ€" wanis Club on Monday of This Week. Another matter of much importance touched upon at the Kiwanis luncheon on Monday was the question of the holding of the Kiwanis carnival this year. It was originally planned to hold this year‘s carnival either this month or next. More recently, however, it has been found that this plan is not practical. Accordingly, the carnival has been postponed. It is definitely decided to held the carnival all right, but the dates will be in September. It has been practically decided that the dates for the carnival will be in the first week of Seritember. This year‘s carnival is expected to exceed the proâ€" it and pleasure of the event last year. Big Crowds Attracted to the Circus Saturday The two performances of the Cole and Rogers circus here on Saturday last attracted big crowds, the tents being full in each case. The parade was not as large as other circus pairâ€" ades held here in'vears past and the show generally was not on a large scale, but the youngsters generally were deâ€" lighted with the cirecus as usual and there were no complaints exgept from a few of the grownâ€"ups who may have grown blase on circuses. The streets were lined for the parade at noon Saturday, and the people showed that they were not simply after free shows by the big turnouts in the afternoon and evening. The Cole and Rogers management kindly treated all the newsboys of The Advanceâ€"and there are close to 50 of themâ€"to a free visit to the show. The children from the Shelter were also allowed free entry to the show and were treated with particular kindness. The popcorn and peanuts man not only gave each of the youngsters from Shelâ€" ter a bag of peanuts and a package of popcorn, but to these he added the fayâ€" our of a free balloon each. The youngâ€" sters thus treated were the envy of many other yvoungsters and Superinâ€" tendent A. G. Carson who looked after the CAS. children at the show had some difficulty in stopping a number of other youngsters from joining the Shelter group of 25 for the occasion. The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canaâ€" dian Legion are holding another of their very enjoyable whist drives on Monday evening of next week, June l6th, at 8.30 pin. in the Oddfellows‘ hall. There will be good music and good prizes, and refreshments will be served during the evening. All who atâ€" tend are sure of a pleasant evening. J. W ARELEAVAN HONOURED BV STAFF OF High SCHoOL Bangquet and Presentation to Retiring Principal by Members of the Staff of the Timmins MHigh and Technical Schools. i On Thursday evening of last wseek, June 6th, a dinner was held at the Empire hotel when Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Treleaven and daughter were the guests of the staff of the Timmins High and Technical School. As Mr. and Mrs. Treleaven are leaving Timâ€" mins shortly, the staf took th2 opporâ€" tunity to present Mr. Treleaven with a gift as a mark of their appreciation and regard for him. Mr. Treleaven, who has resigned as principal of the Timmins High and Technical School, was the principal of the school since its establishment and successfully organizâ€" ed its work and progress before the present handsome high school building was constructed and when temporary quarters in the King‘s Amusement building had to be utilized for high school classes. Under Mr. Treleaven‘s able guidance the school has grown in importance and success, the attendâ€" ance now being over four higidred. Mtr. Treleaven has been very popular with the staff of teachers, and regret at his leaving has been very general among all at the school. Expression was given at the dinner to the high esteem in which Mr. Treleaven was held as a principal and as a man, and sincere good wishes were given for his 4~~"‘h and prosperity in his new home.

The Kirkland Lake team was no slouch last season but this year is said to be much strengthened and likely to put up a fine brand of ball. Manager I. A. Solomon of the McIntyre has not the same team as he had last season, but he still is guoted as claimâ€" ing a genuine winning team. The vaâ€" cant places on the team have been filled with the best available baseball talent and the team as it now stands is practically guaranteed to give a good account of itself. Baseball fans are looking forward to a good ball game on Wednesday afternoon next with the new season thus making an auspicious commencement. The game on Wedâ€" nesday next, June 18th, will start at 5.15 ;sm. sharp. HON. R. B. BENNETT GREETED , AT PORQUIS JCT. ON SUNDAY Hon. R. B.

COURT HOLDS ROBITAILLE GUILTY ON PERJURY CHARGE At the court at Cochrane this week A. Robitaille was found guilty of perâ€" jury, according to word from Cochâ€" rane last night. The charge Against Robitallie arose from evidence given here in conmnection with a charge against him under the Liquor Contro: Act. Sentence will be passed on Roâ€" bitaille at the conclusion of the sesâ€" sions. Mrs. Randall, of Timmins, was beâ€" fore the court on a charge of the theft of some goods from a local store. She was committed for trial in police court here on the charge, but the grand jury at the Cochrane court found no bill, the charge thus being thrown out by the jury. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 12th, 1980 ROUTINE MATTERS BEFORE TOWN GOUNC!L MEETING No IEmportant Questions at Sescion of Council on Monday Though Many Matters of Routine Were Dealt With. At the meeting of the town council on Monday afternson there were many matters before the meeting but most of the affairs dealt with were questions of routine. Mayor Gec. S. Drew ccâ€" cu,led the chair and Councillors R. Richardson, Alfred Caron, J. T. Chenâ€" ier, and C. P. Ramsay were present. Councillor A. G. Carson was absen! in Toronto on C.A.S. business In the absence of the clerk, H. E. Montgomery the assistant clerk,, H. Perreault, carâ€" risd through the duties of the clerk for the day. A petition was received for the inâ€" stallation of water service on Wends street between Wilcox and Preston Although the petition had the namess ef practically all residing on the route, the names were not all those of properâ€" tyâ€"holders and the opinion of the proâ€" pertyâ€"holders will have to be secured before anything can be done. In addiâ€" tion the town did not want to issue debentures for this small work, and it was done as there were only five or six hcuses in two blocks and these of course would not give revenue enough to pay the charges on the debentures. However, the matter would be looked into and if anything could be done action would be taken. A lady residâ€" ing in the area referred to was present at council meeting to press for the serâ€" vices and expylained the inconvenience to residents through having to carry water from the high school. A man who thought he had paid all of his 1928 taxes and who held what he thought were receipts for the two payments spoke to council in regard to the matter, finding recently that one half of his 1928 taxes was still charged against him. Tax Collector Channen explained that when the sentleman paid his first instalment in 1928 the new accounting machine was out of order for a day or so and inâ€" terim receipts had to be issued. until the machine was repaired and the offhiâ€" cial receipt could be given. Mr. Chanâ€" nen thought that the gentleman had taken this interim receipt as an official receint â€"and the latter as the receipt for the second half.~The matter, howâ€" ever, will be checked up: closely, as the gentleman was sure he had paid both instalments. The routine accounts were passed for payment, payrolls authorized,, ant other routine matters dealt with inâ€" cluding the passing of $5,000.00 for the separate school on account, and $7,000.00 for the public school on acâ€" count. Rebates were made in the case of water rates where the parties conâ€" cerned had moved or the water otherâ€" wise was not used and a refund was due accordingly. Water frontage taxes were written off on three properties where the conâ€" ditions did not warrant the imposition of this tax. Income taxes were written off in cases where married men had been assessed on the basis of single men and where the man taxed was not reâ€" sident of the town. A request was made on behalf of a widow with a small family for relief from taxes on some town pro;:crty.' The widow had been making an earnâ€" est and fairly successful effort to supâ€" port herself and family and it was felt that while the taxes could not be reâ€". mitted, no special pressure should be made for collection at present, but that they be allowed to go against the proâ€" perty. ‘ A. Laprairie, manager of the Porcuâ€" branch of the Canadian Indusâ€" tries Limited, spoke to ccuncil in reâ€" gard to the assessment of the comâ€" pany‘s business here under the wholeâ€" sale house rate of 75 per cent. Preâ€" viously ‘the rate had been on the 25 per cent. basis and he thought this fair encugh. This was the rate that preâ€" vailed in other municipalities. company did not carry on any wholeâ€" sale business according to his viewâ€" point, there being the one price for all for the same quantity purchased. ‘The quantity price was the same for one man or firm as for another and this, of course, was not the principle under which wholesale firms worked. Mayor Drew thought that the business might more fairly be classified under the heading of manufacturers‘ agent, but Mr. Layrairie pointed out that this was not the case in this instance as the goods were not sold on commission and only the one firm was represented. Eventually, however, the assessment was passed by the council on the manâ€" ufacturers‘ agent basis which is 50 per cent. on the value of the premises usâ€" ed, and a reduction from the rate for wholesalers under which the assessâ€" ment was first made. Mr. Laprairie put up a strong argument for his side of the case, but accepted the decision goodâ€"humoredly when the council and the assessor pressed for the 50 per cent. basis. S. L. Lees, manager of the Timmins Funeral Service, who always endeavours to give the best possible in service, anâ€" nounces the arrival last week of a new Reo motor hearse, this latest equipâ€" ment making the firm one of the best equipped in the North. pine AMobpante BOTH PARTY GONVENTIONS Will BE HELD NEXT WEFX Conservatives Meet at Porquis Junction on Tuesday and the Liberals at Cochrane on Wednesday Next.

There will be disâ€" tinguished speakers to address the conâ€" vention, including at least one Cabine: Minister. Hon. Mr. Cardin is one of the ministers expected to be present.

Foolish Young Fellows Have to Pay for Damage At police court this week the most of the important cases were remanded to next week on account of so many of the police force being at Cochrane at the court sessions there. Among the remands were :â€" Steve Tarrabass, charged with driving a car while inâ€" toxicated; two liquor cases azainst local men; Omer Goulet, charged with theft of goods from a cabin in the bush; A. Beauchamp, charged with obtaining credit by fraud; Berini Motors at Anâ€" sonville, charged by provincial police with conducting a garage without the required license. A charge of assau‘t against O. Goulet was dismissed. There were five drunks, each assessed $10.00 and costs. Three young fellows who were intoxicated and apparently deâ€" liberately smashed windows in the F. Valois building and the United Church on Sunday morning at an early hour, faced charges of drunkenness and also cf causing wilful damage. One of the young fellows pleaded guilty to doing the damage to the windows and was fined $10.00 and costs and had also to pay for the damage done. It cost him $20.25 in all. The charges against the other two young fellows were withâ€" drawn so far as the damage to the windows was concerned, but one of the lads was among those fined $10.00 and eosts for being drunk in a public plate. Oone of the three lads was also> cauâ€" tioned against reckless driving though a charge on this score was not pressed. A charge of trespassing resulted in a fine of $10.00 and costs. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Miller.â€"a daughter Bormâ€"On Wednesday, June l1th, 1930, at Kirkland Lake hospital, to 24 PAID CIRCULATION LAST W EEK 2915 3 Sections â€" 20 Pages Net * R[SUMIN OF THE TORONTO â€"MAIL SERVICE AVTHORIZED Letter from General Superintendent of Postal Service Says thay Return ts Former Mail Service on No. 46 is Being Arranged Now. In answer to recent letter, W. CÂ¥ Langdon, rpresident of the Timmirne board of trade, heard last week from the general superintendent of postal services. The Ottawa official in his letter says that the resunmption of the former mail service on train No. 46 thas been authorized and will be put in force s soon as the necessary arréetgeoâ€" ments to do this can be made. . This letter from the general superinterdent of postal services is dated from Ottawa on June 9th, and is in reply to a letâ€" ter from Mr. Langdon in carrying out the wishes of the board of trade to press for a resumption of the Toronto mail service. The letter is a confirttaâ€" tion of the statements made by Jos. A. Bradette, M.P. for North Temiskamiy, and Col. Mac Lang, M.P. for South Temiskaming, that the Toronto maul service would be resumed as soon as arrangements could be made. The members made this statement sxune three weeks or more ago. It should take much longer surely to have the Toronto mail service resumed. Previous to the last change in the T. N. O. timetable, mail for Torenuto left here at 11.40 a.m., closing t the post office here« one halfâ€"hour before that time. This allowed business men and others opportunity to reply to To ronto letters coming here the previouns evening. The change in the T. N. O. timetable was designed to give a beitter passenger servWlice to Torouto and the railway was quite ready t handle the mail on No. 46. Had this been done, as it is now promised that it will be, the people would have hbeen well pleased. The Toronto train iasvâ€" ing here at 12.25 instead of 11.40 would be an additional convenience for those having mail for Toronto. However, the action of the postal authoritics made the change most undestrate The mail, instead of going to Porquis Junction on No. 46 as previously, was changed over to the train leaving here at 10.05. The result is that mail comâ€" ing in here from Toronto in the evenâ€" ing can not be dealt with by business firms in time to catch the Torouto mail the next day. The mail for To ronto now closes at 9.35. a.m., though: the Toronto train does not leave here: till 12.25. Still worse, even the mad box has been taken off the Toramto train from here. The matter natiwâ€" ally raised a considerable storm. The board of trade, town council and other bodies and individuals took the matâ€" ter up and the help of the membet‘s for Temiskaming, Messrs Bradette aat Lang, was sought, and very given. The members promised some weeks ago that the former service would be resumed, and now there the letter from the general superinâ€" tendent of postal services to confirm: this. CORNISH AND 8$.0.E. TO PLAY ON SATURDAY, JUNE i1¢€ All those interested in football should not miss the game on Saturday beâ€" tween the Cornish and the S.0.E. Boti» teams are playing wonderful football, and with the grounds in excellent shape some fast and clever work should be witnessed.

URBANOVICH SEEN IN RIVER AT HOYLE MONDAY On Monday evening of this week the body of Vincent Urbanovich, who was drowned at Hoyle on May 10th, was seen on the surface of the water, hayâ€" ing risen again to the surface. S. L. Lees and an assistant went down to Hoyle but though every possible effort was made to recover the body from the river this was impossible on acâ€" count of conditions. It is hoped toâ€" day, however, to recover the body from the river. The body is in among pulpâ€" wood and on this account can not be secured. The pulpwood pprevents ap proach to the body from either direcâ€" tion on the water while the condition of the banks of the river make it imâ€" possible to reach the body from either bank. Vincent Urbanovich, 36 years of age and a native of Lithuania, was a resident of Timmins for some years. He boarded with Geo. Seditis at 171 Elm street north. He and Mr. and Mrs. Seditis and their little son, Ricthâ€" ard, together with Tony Contotis, went to Hoyle on May 10th to enjoy s«xne fishing. Contotis and Urbanovich atâ€" tempted to cross the river in an old boat. When out on the water the boait filled and the two men were throwm into the river. Contotis, who was a good swimmer was able to make lant safely, but Urbanovich was drowned. The provincial police and others made careful search for the body but nothing was seen of it until this week when it was seen among the floating wilpâ€" wood logs.
