"Vigliotti was carrying a brief bag in which five small paper bags containing gold ore valued at $4,000 had been placed. The ore is alleged to have beeen stolen from a mine in Timmins. Both accused, police stated, paid a visit recently to Porcupine, making inquiries over the purchase of high grade ore. Detectives McConnell and Trinnell trailed the two men Tuesday morning, and after they had left a hotel placed them under arrest and took possession of the gold ore.

Say Ore Came From Timmins Mine. Timmins Sudbury is planning to open a soup kitchen in that new city to feed the hungry. A public subscription list is being started by the mayor to secure funds for the plan. The opening of both these new stores had been extensively advertised in The Advance and by other methods, and the results of the advertising were evident in very satisfactory way. Similar large crowds were attracted all day Saturday to the opening of the new store cf the Dominion Dollar Stores, 154 Pine street, south. This new store, operated by Sky Bros., preâ€" sented a big array of values in all kinds of govods, no article being priced above a dollar, irrespective of usual costs. The new Dollar Store attracted very considerable notice and was a centre of special attraction on the opening aay, Saturday. The Curtis Drug Co. last week anâ€" nmounced the opening on Saturday of its new store in the Bartleman block, Pine street, in the premises recently ocâ€" cupied by the Dominion Stores. There was a large crowd in the store pracâ€" tically all the time during the opening day, Saturday. An idea of the number of customers attracted may be gatherâ€" ed from the fact that 2000 beauty roses were secured to give away to customers as souvenirs of the opening and by evening the suptply of roses was pracâ€" tically exhausted. The new drug store is well equipped and made a favourable impression. Wiljo Jakinen, who was arrested last week being found with dynamite in his possession, was charged at the Sudbury police ccurt with stealing dynamite from the Frsod mine and was sentencâ€" l ed on Tuesday of this week to not less ; than three months and not more than months The magistrate stated ’that he would recommend the deportaâ€" ’tion of Jakinen. The prisoner was also committed for trial before a judge on the charge of illegally having explosives in his posession. It is understood that the police were tipped off to the fact that Jakinen or cthers had the dynaâ€" 'mite the oriinion being that the theft of the dynamite might have some conâ€" necction with plans of the communists. The value of good advertising when well suriported by goods and service was indicated once more on Saturday when unusually large crowds of cusâ€" tomers were attracted to the formal openings of two of the new stores openâ€" ed in town. NEW STORES HAVE NOTABLE CROWDS AT OPENING EVENTS FINLANDER AT SUDBURY TO JAIL FOR DYNAMITE THEFT Schumacher One of the points menticned in r2â€" gard to the 600 new settlers is the fact that the majority of them are Finns, Hungarians and the representatives of several branches of the Siavonic race. In the townships of Pine and Machin there are large settlements of Finns. These Finns are said to be opposed to the communist ideas that injure the standing of the Finns in some of the urkan centres. They are described as no at all in the class of the "Reds", and so will make very good settlers. The Finns are clever, clean industrious and anxious for advancement and eduâ€" caticn and when not spoiled by comâ€" munist tendencies it would be hard to find better settlers for a country like the North. In the area near Timmins there are many Finns on the land and the majority of them are ideal citizens and the best type of settlers. In the are around Cochrane, the Finnish setâ€" tlers are said to bring with them to this country many of the features of the communal system pppular in Finland. Accordingly they have their coâ€"operaâ€" tive stores, community halls, Finnish baths, etc. In the Cochrane area the number of Finnish residents has inâ€" creased very greatly in the past few ysars. Seven years ago it is said there were practically no Finns in the town of Cochrane, for instance. The numâ€" er of this nationality in the town and immediate district may be gathered from one fact mentioned in the desâ€" patches from Cochraneâ€"the fact that the town toâ€"day has no less than 18 Finnish hotels and rooming or boardâ€" ing houses. Into the Cochrane district during the past year there has been a large imâ€" migration of Hungarians into Leach, Bond, Calder and Colquhoun townships, with a smaller number of Jugoâ€"Slayâ€" ians and Czechoâ€"Slovakians. Apparâ€" ently the majority of these latter two naticnalities are of Germanic rather than Slavic origin, and represent racial minorities in the two countriese who have come where they may have greatâ€" er freedom. There are very few Germans also, with a sprinkling of Swedes. The original settler;s were alâ€" most entirely from Quebec, later joined by Englishâ€"Canadians and a few old country English. Despatches from Cochrane during the past week point cut that the 600 setâ€" tlers taking up land during the past twelve months constitutes the largest \number of settlers entering the disâ€" trict in any one year since it was thrown open for settlement. It is inâ€" teresting to note that this year also is !the first year in which Europeans have outnumbered native Canadians. Strangely enough, also, the tide of setâ€" tlement appears to have turned, for during the summer just puast a number ’of immigrants came in from the west, ’chiefly Manitoba, reversing the direcâ€" tion of the great migration of the beâ€" ginning of this century when theusands left the farms of old Ontario to set up new homes in the prairies. In this connection one settler who came to this North from Manitoba when questioned why he left the West to tackle a new country is quoted as replying that it was the pioneering spirit, he thought. He believed that some families were like that; they wanted to help build up the new places. His grandfather pionâ€" eered in Southwestern Ontafio. His father had been one of the pioneers of the West. Now he himself and his‘ family were starting pioneer work in‘ Northern Ontario. That typ2 of setâ€" | tler cugnt to be a very valuable acquisiâ€" ticn to the North Land. When he has piloneered in Cochrane district, he will nct nsed to leave the North for further pionegring. By that time there will no doubt be good agriculturial sections far north of Cochrane to beckon to the picneer spirit. One of the specially hopeful and pleasing things about the new settlers referred to is the fact that the maâ€" jority of them are said to be supplied with enough capital to give them a start and a fair chance. They will not have the almost hopeless struggle that has faced so many of the settlers in the North cn other coccasions and in other sections. The man who has only encugh money to got on his homesteac and then hopes to make his way from the farm operations alone. The new sottlers are said to be chiefly men who havye worked in the mines, factories, butch and at other labour until they Thore will be inclination to astonisnâ€" ment at the information coming from Cochrane last week to the effect that nearly 600 new settlers had taken uy |land in the area under the Crown IL:nds agent at Cochrane. This area includes aixteen townships and extends ia'on:,r the C:N.R. line from the Quszsbec boundary to Fauquirr. It would apâ€" pear that settlement is proceeding apace in this area. It is certainly doâ€" Ing much better than in South Cochâ€" rane district where there ssem to be more settlers leaving the farms than there are new ones taking up land. The difference is largely a matter of roads. Immediately around Cochrane there are roads for settlers and anyone travelling cn the highway west of Cochrane can easily see how the comâ€" pletion of that road has helped settleâ€" ment. There seem to be new farms and farm homes springing up all along the highway from Kapuskasing to Hearst and the more settlers there are in groups the more attractive it will be for cthers to take up land nearby. The majority of the 600 new settlers are said to have settled within 18 or 20| miles of Cochrane, and all close alongâ€" ' side the two railways, tmns C.N.R. and | Returns From Crown Lands Agent at Cechrane Shoew About 608 New Setâ€" ters Take Up Land in North Cochrane in Year Past.

To this it may be added that the trouble goes back farther than the lower schools in some cases. There are cases known where the parents are directly respronsible. In cne case at least a father told the police that he supplied his youngster with cigarettes, and it was nobody‘s business, or words, to that effect. He was very soon shown that it was just as much a crime acâ€" cording to law for a father to supply cigarettes to a boy under age as for anyone else. Mostly, of course, it is more so. Any father giving cigareties to his young boy is liable to proseckâ€" tion and some of them wi‘l be made an example of if the practice is not disâ€" continued. Some parents who are simâ€" ply careless in the matter are liable to be blamed directly for the smoking habits of minors in their families. As: the practice of boys and girls under 1t years smoking is harmful to the healthi of the children, unfits the youngsters, for progress at school, and is a habit ncot to be encouraged, it is to be hoped. that parents will earnestly coâ€"operate with the authocrities in curbing this menace in town. | Last wesk two rooms of the Central public school mads kindly gifts to the children at the Shelter. Rcom 2, Miss G. D, Everett, teacher, tocok down cakes, cranges, candies, etc., to the Shelter youngsters. Room 5, Miss Henman, teacher, gave a similar treat to the C.A. 85. youngsters The kindly thoughtful act of the pupils and teachers of both rooms was appreciated by both the youngsters at the Shelter and the offiâ€" clals of the C.A.S. Home nursing classes for ladies, in connection with the St. John Ambulâ€" ance Brigade, will commence on Monâ€" day evening next, Nov. 17th, at 7 p.m., in the Timmins skating rink. These classes should prove of great value, and there should be unusually large attendâ€" ances.

The classes will cerâ€" tainly prove very valuable to all who accept the opportunity they offer. HOME NURSING CLASSES sSTARTING ON MONDAY NEXT ROOMS AT CENTRAL SCHOOL MAKE GIFTS TO SHELTER accumulated enough capital for a real start on the farm. Some of them have had no previous exverience in farming, but they are very recerfive to ideas and most of them come from Europzan races t that were always essentially agriâ€" cultiiral in employment and so the takâ€" ing up of farm work is after all folâ€" lowing along quite natural lines. â€" ‘ Many friends in town and district will regret very much to learn that Mr. J. D. MacLean‘s father is in the hospital here ill with pneumonia, and all will sincerely wish him an early and@ complete return to health. Your assistance and coâ€"operation will be much appreciated and will be a great help in educating the public to the harm it is doing to the rising genâ€" eration. I was instructed to bring this to the attention of the Educational Boards and other organizations in the town with the hope that some action might be taken to bring it to the attention of the public. â€" | For .a considerable time past the \habit contracted by some youngters of lsmoking cigarettes and tobacco in other form has worried teachers and others interested. Teachers can usually pick out the cigaretteâ€"smoking child by the |fact that he is dull at school and usuâ€" ally appears to be unable to learn as quickly as other children and is apâ€" parently unable to concentrate. The smoking of cigarettes has attained large proportions here despite the efforts to curb the evil habit. Recently, there has been a campaign inaugurated at the high school here to eliminate smokâ€" Iing of cigarettes among the boys atâ€" ,tending that school. Principal Henry has found the use of cigarettes harmâ€" ful to the educational progress of the boys indulging as well as injurious to their moral standards. In attempting to stop cigarette smoking at the high school it has been found that the inâ€" qjurious habit is started at the loweri | schools. Accordingly, the following letâ€" ter was sent out this week by the secreâ€" tary of the high school board to the public and separate school boards and to others interested in the matter:â€" j Nov, 11th, 1930 Dear Sir:â€"At the monthly meeting of the Timmins High School Board held last woek, the question of. smoking| among the pupils of the High and Technical Schcool came up for discusâ€" sion.

It will be one of the most upâ€"toâ€"date theatres in the North Land. If the Schumlacher public school is rot um to the minute, under the direcâ€" tion of Mr. P. A. Boyce, we would like to know about it. Armistice Day was no exception to the rule. The school wes mustered in the halls while a snotrt service was conducted and a short adâ€" dress was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Summerell. One minute of silence was cbserved, ‘and prayer offered. The singing of "O° God, Our Help in Ages Past," and the Naticnal Anthem brought the service to a close. m s sn t ie oo in ooo e 1e appepf t en td td d i en 1e Td Sfi Kenneth Adamson, who had his knee injured at high school, is able to be out and around again.

ARMISTIGE DAY OBSERVED Al IHE SCHUMAGHER SGHOOL P= CexX~â€" The new Anglican church at New Liskeard, the church of St. John the Evangelist, was formally dedicated last Wednesday by Rt. Rev. Roxborough Smith, Bishop of Algoma. In the course of his address the Bishop likenâ€" ed those utilitarian souls who affect to believe that it is unnecessary to have beautiful churches to the man who would give his wife a present of a rollâ€" ing pin on her birthday. October production is reported ‘to have been close to $800,000 as compared with the usual average of around $600,â€" 000. This is due to the increased tonâ€" nage, a large part of the new mill addiâ€" tion going into operation last month. No. 3 shaft has been completed to a depth of 2,485 feet. Cross cutting from this shaft at the 2,325 foot level has intersected the main vein, with considerable free gold and characterisâ€" tic Lake Shore values in the walls of the cross cut. A station has been cut at the 2,450 foot level and lateral work started to get into the main vein at this horizon as well. A despatch this week from Kirkland Lake says that with the bringing into operation of the new additions to the Lake Shore mill, giving a capacity for treating around 2,000 tons a day, preâ€" parations are also being made to extend development work to greater depths. To this end a winze will be sunk from the 2,000 foot level with a depth of 2,800 feet as the immediate objective. A station and underground hoist room are now being cut at the 2,000 foot level in preparation for starting the winze.
