"It‘s a lucky break for the fellows *43 own the bonds," commented W. E. N. SBinclair, K.C., Liberal Leader in the Ortario Legislature, in referring to the a:.:onncemem of Premier George S. Henry that the government was taking ov*r the bonds of the Abitibi Canyon Poger Development enterprise at $90. Since the bonds were selling at $25 moauth ago, Mr. Sinclair said, the ‘"~ondholders have every reason to hole a service of thanksgiving at the generâ€" s ty of the government." Commenting on the situation Hon. Harry C. Nixon, the Progressive Party in the Ontario Legislature is quoted as saying:~â€"â€" "While the terms of the Governâ€" ment‘s offer to the bondholders are even more generous than I had feared, and while the taxpayers‘ rights have egain been treated with contemptuous indifference, 1 cannot say that I am surprised. The latest deal is much similar to the Dominion Power and Transmission Company purchase, in which the Tory Government paid nearâ€" y $22,000,000 for what the people of Comment on Plan to Take Over "Canyon" Attornmeyâ€"General Thinks it a C for the Province.

Col. W. H. Price, Attorneyâ€"General, takes a much more favourable view of the Henry Government‘s offer to the Ontario Power Service Corporation bondholders. The point that it is property, and not merely bonds, which the Governâ€" ment is acquiring by the terms of the agreement with the Ontario Power Service Corporation was stressed by Attorneyâ€"General W. H. Price on Monâ€" day. "I don‘t think that fact has been sufficiently appreciated by the public," the Colonel said. "Making an offer for the bonds will give us a title to the property. The Toronto Globe in an editorial article on Tuesday says that the Govâ€" ernment has been "extravagantly genâ€" erous to the bondholdersâ€"at public exâ€" pense." The Globe also charges that the Government ‘"has neglected to erect any safeguards against losses which are absolutely certain during the next few yvears." "UOnless the Government publishes the threeâ€"sided contract in which it bought 85,000 horsepower from the Abiâ€" tibi interests, and simultaneously sold back to the same people 45,000 horseâ€" power, the Progressive group will fight for this information in the Legislature."

There is an ipso facto cancellation of all existing contracts with the Onâ€" tario Power Service Corporatin, the Attorneyâ€"General explained, adding that the large contracts Hydro had with the Abitibi interests, therefore, lapse naturally. The rate of interest has been workâ€" ed out by the Hydro Commissioner, Hon. J. R. Cooke, at 3.97 per cent. over the whole period of twenty years. ‘"That," Colonel Price stated, "is conâ€" sidering that the Province will not phiy 5 per cent. for the last ten years, owing to the option which is allowed by the terms of the agreement. Actually, if we pay 4 per cent. over fifteen years and 34 per cent. over five years, the rate over the whole pericd works out at 3.97 per cent." The first move, the Attorneyâ€"Generâ€" al explained, must be for the Montreal Trust Company to send out notificaâ€" tions to the Ontario Power Service bondholders, 90 per cent. of whom must approve the transaction, and deposit their bonds in accordance with the terms of the agreement. It was due to a clerical error, the I Attorneyâ€"General said, that in the statement issued by Premier Henry smm ns oo im mm mm o o meue mm omm mm in cash with the Montreal Trust Comâ€" pany, and we get that. In addition, there is the six months‘ interest on $20,000,000, amounting to _ $550,000, which wasn‘t paid, as we prevented it. Then the PMlnce saves another $200,â€" 000 by dating the bonds Oct. 1. So Ontario THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO St. Matthew‘s AY.P.A. was "on the rocks" last Wednesday afternoon, where and when, they held a most enjayable picnic. . Various games featured, the programme that kept everyone busy until the announcing of the first call for supper. Seeing that an excellent appetite had been developed each one answered the call without delay, doing full justice to the many and substartial dainties provided for the refreshment of the inner man. The softball nine of St. Matthew‘s are eagerly awaiting Wednesday, Aug. 3rd, when they anticipate handing a decisive trimming to a selected team under the captaincy of R. Webb. It is expected the St. Matthew‘s rooters will be out with their many friends to cheer them to victory. Complaints have been made to The Advance that a "Red" school is being conducted at present at Pottsville, and that the children of foreign parents from the district are there being taught disrespect for King, flag and constituâ€" tion. Those conducting this school are said to come from Timmins, Schuâ€" macher and South Porcupine, and the "pupils‘" are understood to be from the same pilaces. Literature of "Red" type is distributed, and the understanding is that the children are coached in a way that is not likely to help them be good citizens. The people of Pottsâ€" ville and Golden City do not like the idea of this foreign school,â€" according to accounts. Only one or two in Porâ€" cupine are concerned and there is <a feeling that the Government should make a point of seeing that everything is proper and legal in connection with this school. Those attending the school in question wear red badges, and this is not considered a healthy sign. One man from Pottsville last week suggested that if foreigners from Timmins and other outside points have to make headquarters there for their alien schools, it might be a good idea for the provincial police to check up on the activities of this soâ€"called school. If everything is all right, no harm will Alien School Said to be Running at Porcupine Sudbury Star:â€"The Vancouver Sun wants to charge motorists gas tax on the gasoline they bring across the borâ€" der. It would be better to find some way of equalizing the price so that ‘it wouldn‘t pay to bring it. The differâ€" ence is now between 19¢ and 30c over a few miles of road. St. Matthew‘s A.Y.P.A. Held Picnic on Rocks Last Week be done by having this known. If subversive teachings or other objectionâ€" able activities are in progress, then a visit from the authorities do much to prevent more serious trouble later on.â€" _ + Mitchell Hepburn, M.P., the absentee alternative leader of the Ontario Liberals, as usual, made rather extraâ€" vagant and vicious comment on the Government‘s proposal to take over the Abitibi Canyon project. He said he had not studied the question very fully but still he felt it was a poor deal anyway. He also suggested that in some way or ancther J. H. Black was in the picture and anything like that was too bad, or words to that effect. Mr. Hepburn, as usual, added nothing to the facts before the public, had no constructive suggestions . t> make on his own pBart, and is quoted as concluding with the words, "It would appear that the Ontario Government is preparing to deal most generously with its friends." "I understand when the offer was being prepared the solicitors or the typist made a mistake in the percentâ€" age," Colonel Price said, adding that he had himself experienced a surprise when he ottned his papers, Monday morning to that extra oneâ€"half per cent. mentioned in the Premier‘s statement. Observing that the additional oneâ€" half per cent. would have made a very appreciable difference over the period to the total interest to be paid, Colâ€" one Price said that the error had been rectified and that the agreement would bear the correct figures forâ€"signature. concerning the agreement the interest rate for the second period of five years was quoted at "44 per. cent." instead of, as it should have been, 4 per cent. Last week reference was made to W. Rinn being called to Toronto on acâ€" count of the serious illness of his father Before he reached Toronto his father had passed away, Mr. Rinn, Sr., dying on Sunday, July 1l7th, his seventyâ€"seâ€" cond birthday. The late Mr. Rinn, who was an ardent horseman, had been at Penetang driving his own threeâ€"yearâ€" old pacer. He was taken ill at the races and though taken to the hospiâ€" tal and given every possible care and attention he passed away in a few days. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Langdon have something rather unusual in the way of a plant, this being a cactus that blooms Only once a year and that once only at night. They have also a cacâ€" tus that blooms only in the daytimeâ€" blooming only once a year, and then its blooming days are over for. the seaâ€" son. The nightâ€"blooming cactus holds the centre of interest this year. Some days ago it developed buds and on Wednesday evening of this week it orened in bloom. The flower was a creamy white and ‘had a noticeable fragrance. In contrast to the nightâ€" blooming cactus, the one has no perfume. DEATH OF FATHER OF W. RINN ON HIS 72nd BIRTHDAY Cactus That Blooms Only Once a Yearâ€"at Night WOMAN TAKEN ILL TUESDAY EVENIXNXG ON STREET HERE On Tuesday evening at the corner of Pine street and Fifth avenue there was more than a little excitement caused by the collapse on the sidewalk, of a lady who had appeared a minute beâ€" fore to be all right.. People passing by did not know what had happened to the lady and the police were sent for. The police in turn summoned a doctor and it was found that the lady had been taken suddenly ill and had fallen in a faint. After attention from the doctor she recovered and was able to proceed to her room in one of the local hotels. EiL The McInnis trophy is a handsome cup donatedâ€"by R. A. McInnis, formerâ€" ly manager of the. Abitibi Power and Paper Co., at Iroquois Falls, «He took a ‘very keen interest in baseball and the trophy ‘was intended to increase good sport in the North. The handâ€" some trophy has had that effect and there has been keen competition for it in the past. If it is contested for this year there should be an increase in the interest in baseball in this part of the North. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"An Engâ€" lishman has entered suit against the Grand Trunk Railway and the Canaâ€" dian National for $150,000,000. We wonder if he would listen to a counter proposal that: he should become owner of them? it. The McIntyre team has won the trophy on two successive occasions and under the rules if the trophy were won again by McIntyre it would become the property permanently of that team. There has been some talk this yvear of competition again for the noted R. A. MciIinnis ‘baseball trophy. The rules for competition for this cup reâ€" quire a threeâ€"team league. Last year there was no competition here because there were only two teams competing in the league and the trustees ‘ruled that the cup consequently could not be in comptition. This year, however, witih three teams in the Temiskaming baseball league entry could be made for competition for the cup and if the league wishes to play this season for the trophy the trustees would sanction MclInnis Trophy May be in Competition Chance This Year for a Threeâ€"team League to Compete for This Valuâ€" ed Baseball Trophy. Phone 111 Everything New, Fresh and Choice Meat and Grocery Store Purdon Laflamme TUESDAY, AUGUST 2nd LET US SERVE YOU WITH O ANNOUNCING THE OPENING OF NEW Last week The Advance was shown a number of odd coins that a local young man happened to notice that he had in his pocket in the way of ordiâ€" nary change. One was a Nova Scotia cent dated 1864. Another was a Newâ€" foundland copper coin of 1876. A third coin was a Canadian copper dated 1884 and many years older than the young man who noted it among his change after reading about some other old and odd coins in The: Advance. The fourth coin was odd enough, whether it is old or not. It is marked on the side "2 Grosze" and on the other side are the letters, "RZCZPOSPOLITA DOLSKI." It is probably a Ukrainian coin.

Last year there was the same report, but this year‘s supply of partridge is said to be even greater . than suggested last year. There was a general request last year for an open season for partridge, but the ~game department vetoed it, the idea being that one more close season for the birds was necessary or desirâ€" able. The request for a short open seaâ€" son this year for partridge, with a small bag limit, will likely be advanced with increased urgency in view of the apparent surplus of the birds. In the Temagami district the partridge are reâ€" ported as so numerous as to be a nuiâ€" sance. One Timmins motorist said that he ran over three partridge on the road last week. He tried to avoid hitâ€" ting them with the car but the birds would not get‘out of the way. He says he saw so many of them that he did not think the three would be missed. PARTRIDGE SQ PLENTIFUL CARS RUNNNG OVER THEM Bornâ€"At the Sensenbrenner hospiâ€" tal, Kapuskasing, on Friday, July 8th, 1932, to Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Bunceâ€"â€"A daughter (Mary Katherine). The many friends of Mrs. Bunce, who was forâ€" merly Miss Mary Donovan, of Timâ€" mins, will extend sincere good wishes to the mother and babe. A settler living some four miles from town says that he has at least four deer on his homestead and that likely there are more young ones. He has seen at least four. It is years since deer took up residence so close to town as this. On the other hand men cutâ€" ting wocd for Alex Kostala, 24 miles from Timmins, report seeing five wolves the other day. There have been signs before and since of the presence of wolves in the area, but when they are actually seen there can be no question abcut their presence. â€" Wolves may how!l around at night and leave all sorts of tracks, but oldâ€"timers agree that it is a rare sight to really see wolves close to towns especially. Reports are frequent as to both wolves and deer coming closer than usual to the towns of the North. Whether the deer are driven nearer the towns by fear of the wolves, or whether the wolves follow wherever there may be deer, is a question that seems to leave about the same result no matter what the answer. In any case it seems certain that where there are deer there will be wolvesâ€"for a time. Then after a time there will only ‘be wolves. ~As an Irishman might put it:â€"‘"There are sure to be wolves where there are deer, but there are wolves," Both Deer and Wolves Come Closer to Towns Prompt Service Thursd COME EARLY, STAY LATE Timmins Gentleman 75¢ W.
