There were sbout fifty present, including members of the and the guests of the evening, a 1umâ€" \ber of prominent men of the distric! interested in music being invited to the event. The tables were very pleasingâ€" ly arranged and arrayed and looked very attractive . The meniu prepared i and provided by the Ladies‘ Aid for the .ccca°ion was one of the best that cuuld ‘be given, food and service alike being ‘of the very best. The ladies received many compliments for their important part in the cutstanding success cf the evening. Jas. Shewan presided at the event ‘and as usual proved a very genial and | effective chairman. Shortly after 6.30 \p.m., he called upon Reov. Mr. Summerell | to say grace, and then all did full jusâ€" 't ice to the elegant repast provided by the ladies. After the appetizing meal had been enjoved from the meats, vegeâ€" 4tables and salads to the lemon pie and ‘tea and coffee, there was a firstâ€"class | proegramme of music and addressses. | apt. D.

The song, "The Boys From Porcuâ€"| pine," words and music adapted by W. H. Wilsor, the choir‘s accompanist, wasi rendered in fine manner by the choir and won very decided encore. The re-! sponding number, "The Comrade‘s Song | of Hope," was given with rare harmcnyl and expression. ‘ A.

He said the! purpose of the banauet was to secure| further interest in the choir and givc! it added publicity. He believed the work of the choir to be very commendâ€" able, and it was felt that with increasâ€" ed publicity and widened interest, furâ€" ther progress would be achisved.

Macdonald, after the odd story \and hnumorous allusion, referred to thne | value of music to a community or peoâ€" -Iple. Through all the fierce trials, triâ€" bulations and persecutions undergone |\by the children of Israel, music had |sustained and comforted them. The ‘negro slaves had enduced bondage and ‘almost unbelievable chardship, with no gsolace and no stay ibut their music and | melodies. Songs ‘had carried the naâ€" ‘tions in the late ‘war and music had | undcubtedly heiped the men to bear | the grinding perils and hardships. In Ithe life cof everybody music was a jJoy gand a solace to all. He complimented |the choir and the leader on the effiâ€" iciency attained, and urged them to stay together, suggesting loyalty to the leadâ€" er and to the officers of the choir. As they kept all discerd out of their music lso should they keep discord out of their business associations in the choir and 'in life. As they sang in harmony, so !should they work in harmony for the benefit of all. The chairman presented a message from R. J. Ennis, manager of the Mcâ€" Intyre, who was unable to be present and sont his regrets for missing the event. Mr. Ennis was much interested in the choir and â€"expressed his readiâ€" ess to support it so far as possible. W. H. Pritchard, of the Hollinger exâ€" pressed his appreciation for the work of the choir and its leader, Mr. Bawden. He spoke feslingly of the kindly action of the choir on Christmas Day in visitâ€" ing one of the oldâ€"timers of the camp who was confined to his homs through illness. The singin? of the choir had cheered the sick man greatly, and Mr. Pritchard monticned the incident as one of the many ways in which the choir had been of service in the district. The solo by A. W. Snow was another | of the muchâ€"appreciated numbers on | the evening‘s programme. Mr. Snow sang "Capt. Mac‘" in fine form and voice and with notable effectiveness. He was given much deservea applause for the number. "Kentucky Home" by the choir was a | favourite that roused an insistent en-l core. "Hail, Sacred Morn," given as an | enccre. was one of‘ the finest numbers on the evening‘s good programme of | zsood music. Rousing applause was won by the stirring recitation by Capt. Jones. He gsave the selection, "The Last Bullet," | in very effective and gripping way. | J. Knox, assistant general managerl of the Hollinger, expressed his appreâ€" | ciation of the choir. He believed that by .their carol singing especially they | had helped to bring the old-t,imel Christmas spirit, that made the season | so happy a one, to this camp. He asâ€" ; sured the choir of his interest and supâ€" | port, believing that such organizations were beneficial not only to the memâ€" bers but to the whole community. Welsh, Scottish, He, was: proud of the choir and ho to‘ see 1t continue and expand. A solo by C. Roberts, tenor, "Sleep and the Roses," was one of the features of the evening and won very pronouncâ€" ed applause. Later in the evening Mr. Roberts favoured with another solo, "A Dream of Paradisg," which was equally well received. TO TWO MONTHS | FOR STEALING A HOUSE R. Dye, manager of the Vipond, in humorous vein, told of his first time to hear carols sung by the Cornishmen in Cobalt many years ago. Then in seriâ€" ous vein he touched on the value of a choir such as the Schumacher Male Choir, and the inspiration and benefit it gave to members and the people in general. { Reference was made some weeks ago in The Advance to the case at Kapusâ€" kasing where a man was actually chargâ€" |\ ed with the literal theft of a house. He was a settler and saw a house that apâ€" parently suited him and he adopted it as his own. The house happened to be chn the farm of another man but this did not deter the settler in question from taking the house he fancied. It was not occupied, fortunately, at the time he decided to move it onto his own lot. To shorten the story, the settler \ moved the desired house bodily from !‘the other land to his own clearing. Of | course, the owner of the house learned ‘absut the houseâ€"moving, and eventualâ€" \ly action was started for the recovery | arnd return of the house or proper payâ€" ment therefor. As a consequence there | was a police court case at Kapuskasing | some weeks ago. The sequel is told in ;:he fcllowing brief despatch last week ‘from Kapuskasing:â€""Lucien Beaugtâ€" Dr. S. L. Honey, viceâ€"president of the Timmins Band, expressed his delight at the efficiency of the choir and its value to the district and wished it continued and increased success. Good stories {eatured the neat little address of the speaker. S. A. Wookey, in a brief but bright address, said he felt sure that the choir would prosper and progress, and on beâ€" half of the McIntyre he assured it of interest and support. All the addresses referred to the exâ€" cellence of the chcoir and the praise due the leader, Mr. Bawden. There were many gocd stories told during the evenâ€" nz and much good: wit and humour. There was also general appreciation exâ€" pressed for the pleasant evening and especia‘lly for the elegant repast proâ€" vided by the ladies, to whom very hearty vote of thanks was passed. The happy gathering was brought to a close by "O, Canada," led by the choir and "Auld Lang Syne," led by W. R. Sullivan in his usual genial way. 4 L4 i on suspended sentence folâ€" iction by Magistrate Tucker e of stealing a house, was o two months‘ imprisonment labsur last week.

Because of these things in the hours of his sickâ€" ness and shadow his heart was at peace with God and all the world." At the beginning of the service Mrs. Christie feelingly sang "Crossing the Bar," anâ€" other favourite song of Mr. Herman‘s. The floral Oofferings were many and beautiful. L. Hussey spoke from the text, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on ‘Thee." He said those were the words which recurred to him most often as he thought cof the patience, fortitude and peace with which Mr. Herman had endured his illâ€" ness. He said, "During the years of his health and strength Mr. Herman was most intimately associated with the church of Christ, sharing its responâ€" sibilities and helping to solve its proâ€" blems." During the service he repsatâ€" ed the favourite hymn of Mr. Herman, "Tight the good fight," which he said was a bulwark of strength and faith in this man‘s experience. ‘"There was never anything of the complaining or repining that frequently accompanies beaut a prolonged illness.

TREATMENT OF SETTLERS IN NORTH AND IN THE WEST Ssuggestion of the difference in the treatment meted out to settlers in the North and in the West is suggested in an editorial article in The Northern Tribune of Kapuskasing last week. The Northern Tribune does not by any means cbject to the help given the "The farmers of the west are in bad plight indeed, with the price of millions of bushels of wheat on their hands so demoralized that it hardly pays the exâ€" pense of trucking to a country clevator. But being a dangerous political force, with a demonstrated capacity for exâ€" pressing their common will in ballot boxes on occasion, the resources of govâ€" ernments are strained to help them. The federal treasury stands behind them now to the extent of many milâ€" lions of dollars, and the end is not yet. Contrast them with our settlers, whose small clearings do not yet begin to proâ€" duce crops at any price that could posâ€" sibly sustain a family. When their sale of pulpwood is curtailed, and there is not roadwork or bush employâ€" ment for them to go around, how are they expected to get through the trying winter? If only one million dollars were promptly released to construct unâ€" built sections of the transâ€"Canada highway from La@a Reine to Nakina, thousands of them would be provided with honest work of a permanent charâ€" acter, and every dollar so spend would be repaid to the country many times over. Therefore Premier Bennett should not lose any more time in getting this work going, and redeem his election pledge. There can‘t be a transâ€"Canada nighway urtil the middle section is built! Until that time when Canada can afford to build the very expensive Lake Supserior cutâ€"off routeâ€"a work of yearsâ€"every town and city in Nipisâ€" sing, Sudbury, Algoma, Temiskaming and Cochrane districts can be easily tied in to a quickly and cheaply built straight national highway running westward from Hearst; also a large part of Northern Quebec. There would be a number of "loop" routes in such system, and these would multiply, netâ€" wckring the whole North gradually and giving it a wonderful forward impetus.

The picture shows several former North Land men. S. Levine (more afi'ectionate}y known as "Porky") is a goodâ€"size part of the picâ€" ture in his goal pads and other regalia. He was one of the famous goalâ€"tenâ€" ders for the Timmins Juniors who proâ€" gressed into Senior company and has made his way in hockey. Another in the picture is Roy Lessard, formerly of Timmins, and a brother of Mrs. ?. M. Bardessono. â€" Still another is Wm.
