The main part of the canvass for sale of memberâ€" ship tickets was commenced a week ago and some of the ladics doing the canvassing in the town and in Schuâ€" macher have completed their work. The canvassing has been exceptionally well done and the returns to date have been good. There are some canvassing teams who have not yet completed the canvass of the sections handled by them and it will be a week before the canvass at South Porcupine is comâ€" pleted. The canvassers for the busiâ€" ness section of the town of Timmins were unable to start On time, owing to the illness of one of the original team and the fact that the other was called out of town. The two other canvassers taking the place of the original team have started the work toâ€"day and exâ€" pect to complete it shortly. A full acâ€" count of the canvass will be given after the work is completed, together with a list of all subscriptions made available. Bushmen Reported as Back at Work Now From Ansonville, Cochrane, Sault St« Marie, Comes Reports that Workers are Returning to Camps for Work. Reports from Ansonv.lle, Cochrane, Sault Ste. Marie and other centres in the North suggest that there is a genâ€" eral return to work in the bush camps. The rowdyvism on the part of the red element dG@rove many men from the bush work while settlers and others usually taking up bush work in the fall and winter months were prevented from going into the bush for the work. There was an extensive system of pickâ€" ets â€"to prevent men resuming work in the bush but as soon as there was deâ€" o.sive action to assure the workers that they would have some measure of proâ€" tection, the situation has completely changed. Men are no longer held back from work by threats of violence or actual violence itself. Word from Sault Ste. Marie says that in that area over 300 men have returned to work in Abiâ€" tibi bush camps in the past few days angq that the agitators are being disreâ€" garded now. Sim@lar reports are reâ€" ceived from Ansonville, Iroquois Falls, Cochrane and Kapuskasing. At Anâ€" sonville and Iroquois Falls it is said that there are more men than positions to fill. Accordingly, the right kind of men are being picked while the agitaâ€" tors and disturbers are being ignored. In giving the list of officers of the Liberal Asociation of Timmins last week The Advance made an error in listing Moise Maltais as one of the directors. The name should have been Moise Lorâ€" tie. The name was given correctly to The Advance but in some way or anâ€" other the wrong name was insertec. Moise Maltais is not at present a memâ€" ber of the association. The name that should have appeared was that of Moise Lortie. The complete list of Oofficers and executive of the Liberal Associaâ€" tion is as follows:â€" Presidentâ€"Len Cousins. Viceâ€"presidentâ€"David Laprairie. Secretaryâ€"Treasurerâ€"Wilfrid Blais. Directorsâ€"Moise Lortie, Hary Jefâ€" fey, Alec Belec, A. P. Dooley, Claude Desaulniers and T. A. Skelly.

Another man credited by t Another man credited by the daily newspapers now swarming around Raâ€" more with making a good deal is Thos. J.

He found he had lost his job when he came out of hospital and so went prospecting in the Ramore area. This week he optioned his claims to Consolidated Mining Smelting Co. for $250,000.00 with the first payment at $12,000.00 and the balance in a year. ‘These incidents have recallegq the case of Edouard Ross, whose farm near Ramore was optioned last year to the Hollinger for $150,000.00 In the deal with Ross were Baptiste David and Frank â€" Tremblay. In â€" copyrighted stories of the Ramore camp The Toâ€" ronto Mail and Empire says that the three assoclates, Ross, David and Tremblay have already receivegq, $23,â€" 000.00 which has been divided three ways.
