A. F. Kenning, M.P,P. for South Cochrane, added his words of welcome to the guests of the evening. He spoke briefly but effectively of the potential wealth of this North, and the fact that the Government was endeavouring not only to build up and develop this country, but also to bind together all the peoples and races that were here into a united group working for the benefit and advance of the country. Mr. Kenning spoke of the finte qualiâ€" ties of good citizenship of the Italian On behalf of the township of Tisdale Reeve C. V. Gallagher added a welâ€" come. He spoke of the number of Itaâ€" lians in the district and what splendid citizens they had been and how they had contributed materially in so many lines to the establishment and progress of the district. He instanced the enâ€" terprise of such men as Leo Mascioli, whose fine hotels and theatres, were notable features in this part of the North. Reeve Gallagher‘s wit and humour added much to the pleasure of the evening. For the benefit of the visitors he also touched on the mines and other industries of the North and the great prospects before this counâ€" try. Acting Mayor R. Richardson extendâ€" ed a true welcome to the distinguished guests of the evening from the town of Timmins and hoped that their soâ€" journ would be so pleasant that they would come again. Leo Mascioli presided at the banquet in effective and plasing way, and on behalf of all the Italians of the camp he gave most hearty and sincere welâ€" come and greeting to the Count and Countess. It was the first time that the Porcupine camp had been honourâ€" ed by a visit from the Consulâ€"General for Italy, and Mr. Mascioli expressed the pleasure and appreciation of all of Italian birth or parentage. On Saturday evening the visitors were the honoured guests at a banquet given by Leo Mascioli in the large dinâ€" img hall of the Empire hotel. Among those at the event were:â€"R.

The beautifully set tables were adorned with flowers and the banquet provided was probably the finest ever given in Timmins. The menu was one to be long remembered and the service and all other features of the occaâ€" sion reflected the highest credit on the Empire hotel and staff. During the evening the Countess di Villanova was presented with two handsome bouquets of flowers. During their stay in Timmins the Count and Countess were taken to all the points of interest in the town and immediate district and greatly enjoyed thei? visit here. On ‘the other hand all who had the pleasure of meeting the distinguished visitors are delighted with their charming personalities. are at present on a tour of Canada from coast to coast. They stopped at North Bay last week on their way from Ottawa and received there a very hearty welcome from the Italian people in that city. Their next stop was at ‘Timmins, the party reaching here on Saturday afternoon. Timmins they proceeded this week to Cochrane for a brief call at that Northern cenâ€" tre, after which they went on to the West. It is likely that they will call at Sudbury on their return trip. Count Rogeri di Villanova has had a brilliant career in diplomatic circles for Italy, representing that country at Washington, U.S.A., and in London, England. His recent appointment as Consulâ€"General for Italy in Canada is a compliment to the many Italians in Canada.

I thank you most sincerely," he conâ€" cluded. Count di Villanova in a pleasing address said he was glad indeed to meet his countrymen and so many good Canadians. He was particularly grateful for the good words that had been said about the Italian people. As one speaker had suggested there were some bad as well as some good, but he hoped the most were good citizens and that Italy and its people might be judged by the latter. "Italy has a glorâ€" ious past, and no mean present," he said, "and I hope that from the wealth of tradition and glory of their native land our people will give the best to this adopted country." The Consulâ€" General spoke of the wonderful hospiâ€" tality and kindness of the Canadian people and said he would remember Timmins always with especial gratiâ€" tude. "On behalf of myself and wife Chas. Pierce spoke briefly but very effectively as an oldâ€"timer of the North who had occasion to know the Italian people ‘And respect them. For many years he had been in partnership with Leo Mascioli and they had never had an illâ€"word. In adding his welcome to the honoured guests of the evening he paid his tribute of regard to the Itaâ€" lians of this North. "I believe in kings,â€"even in dictators when they are good ones and are needâ€" ed. And we had a good one in Onâ€" tario," he concluded, amid laughttr and applause. J. Knox said it was an honour and pleasure to have,the Consulâ€"General and Countess di Villanova here. He counted many personal friends among the Italian people and his experience had been that for many lines of work the Italian workman was without a superior. The Italians he believed, made the best of citizens. He found much to admire in the Italian form of government and methods of procedure. North but for one ltalian Adventurer, ne said, "nor had its name, but for anâ€" other man from sunny Italy." Rev. Fr.

McNabb, of Peterborough, Governor of the Kiwanis for the Onâ€" tarioâ€"Quebecâ€"Maritimes district, was a visitor to Timmins this week, while on a tour of the Northern Kiwanis clubs. The visit was given additional interest here by the fact that Rev. J. Douglas Patterson, of All Saints Cathedral, Peterborough, formerly rector of St. Matthew‘s church, Timmins, accomâ€" panied the Governor on the trip.

Mr. Dodge also won very markâ€" ed approval both for his talented singâ€" ing and the pleasing number given. Kiwanian V. Woodbury introduced Rev. J. D. Patterson. In a humerous and witty address Rev. Mr. Patterson referred to the striking changes in the town in the fourteen years he had been absent from Timmins. "Why, there is even grass growing on the lawns of Hemlock street," he said. He referred The ladies‘ attendance prize was won by Miss King, while Governor I. P.

Kiwanis, he, said, made a better town, and he suggested that Timmins might sponsor new clubs in the North. The Governor pointed out the real work for clubs like that of Timmins. Kiwanis was fully justified by its practical welfore work, and he noted some of its contributions to the world‘s benefit. The Governor conâ€" luded his address by a poetical definiâ€" tion of what Kiwanis is and does. This week J. D. Brady, of the Rod and Gun Club, received word of the shipment from government fish hatâ€" cheries of a large number of cans of ;rout fry to be used in reâ€"stocking the waters in this district and ‘thus assurâ€" ing a coming supply of frout in this pari of the North.

Mr. Patterson said he was thoroughly "sold" on Kiwanis beâ€" cause of the good work it was doing. He also pointed out that even from the selfish standpoint it paid to belong to Kiwanis because of what they could get out of it in spiritual and cultural benefit.

He congifitulated the Timmins club on its achievements, notably the work for underprivileged children, the cots established at the hospital and other good works, and he pointed out that these things could not have been possible but for the generous support and coâ€"operation of the ladies. He found Kiwanis in a healthy conâ€" dition in the district and throughout the length and breadth of the land. It was encouraging, he said, to see the good work being done. He urged Timâ€" mins to continue along its own good way and to increase its membership and scope.

Mr. Brady‘s office is in the Bank of Comâ€" merce building and volunteers should sge him there, or elsewhere, or anyâ€" where, so long as they see him and arrange to help in the distribution of the trout so that a future supply may be assured in the various streams of this district.

TIMMINS ORANGEMEN WIN TROPHY AT ORANGE WALK The Twelfth of July for the Cochrane district was held this year at Cochrane and was largely attended and proved a successful and interesting event, being attended by large numbers of Orangeâ€" men and members of the L.O.B.A. from all over the district. Timmins Orange Lodge won the trophy for the largest turnout in the parade. trouble started in Cochrane on Monâ€" day night. Constable Crozier, who is on> of the finestâ€"looking men on the provincial force and one of the mos: pepular and esteemed, was struck by stones and a bottle which broke on his head. It is believed that h> sustained a fractured skull, though it is hoped that he will recover from the injury. His condition last night was reported as favourable. Ralph Crozier, provincial constable stationed at Coral Rapids, is in the hospital from injuries received when Motorist Drives Into Parade of Unemployed and is Roughly Handled. Officer in Attempting to Stop Trouâ€" ble Struck by Missiles. in Hospital. Skull May be Fractured. Communists Busy at Cochrane. _ Police Ready to Handle Situation. Provincial Officer Hurt in Trouble at Cochrane Monday |__As Cochrane there is a disposition on ‘the part of many to blame the motorâ€" éist for the trouble. Perhaps the moâ€" torist did not use good judgment or courtesy. At the same time there seems to be no excuse for the rioters, lespecially in their attack upon Officer Crozier. The people of Cochrane have in reality no responsibility in providâ€" ing even one meal a day for the hunâ€" dreds of transients that have drifted to that town from all over the country. It must surely be admitted that Cochâ€" rane has used these transients well and done all they fairly could, and more than should be expected. The persisâ€" tent parading and other organized nonâ€" sense must be very irritating to Cochâ€" rane after all that town has spent and suffered. Trouble has been expected at Cochrane ever since the travelling communists started their organizir’; there. is high time the Government relieved the towns of the North of these mischiefâ€"makers, who spend their time and money to create disturbance when everybody else is doing all posâ€" sible to relieve the situation. Cochâ€" rane, like Timmins and other towns, has done much and sacrificed much for these transients, and it does seem that no matter how unfortunate they may be, in common decency they should at least try not to injure those who have done all they can to help. Three hundred returned men in Cochrane and district are understood to have signified their readiness to asâ€" sist the authorities in pkeserving order at Cochrane. There have been many complaints in the past week or two in regard to the damage caused to gardens here by cutworms. Some ten years ago these pests did a great deal of damage in the town and district, a number of gardens being completely ruined for the year. Since that time they have not been noticeably bad in town though there are always a few of them on hand. This year the villains are again getting in their evil work, the long hot spell being blamed for the number and activity of the cutworms this year. There are a few gardens in town so badly injured by the cutworms that the owners have become discourâ€" aged and discontinued garden work for the year. "Let the pests take it all; they will anyway," say these owners. Not so, with the majority of gardeners, however. They are out to fight cutâ€" worms or anything else. They are deâ€" termined to maintain the remarkable number of gardens in Timmins, and anything or anybody trying to damage gardens will have these people to fight. One remedy for killing off the cutâ€" worms has been tried with apparent success by several in town. It is the use of paris green. The paris green is put on in water and either sprayed around the stems of the plants, or else put on from a watering can. In the latter case the sprinkling is done close to the ground so as to touch the parts of the plants first attacked by the cut worms. A tablespoonful of paris green is used to a gallon of water, the solution being either sprayed or sprinâ€" kled on the ts as noted. More than one gardener using this plan reâ€" ports it as successful, dead cutworms on the ground in the morning showing its efficacy. When the solution is used, the garden should not be watered the same night, but the watering left to the next day. Use of Paris Green has Been Found Beneficial in Several Cases in Town. Many Gardens Badly Damaged. Cutworms Damage Gardens in Timmins These are the days of happy picnics but it is not Ikiely there will be any more enjoyable event than the annual basket picnic of the Moose to be held at Golden City on Sunday, July 26th, For this event cars will leave the hall from 9 to 12, weather permitting.
