Witnesses were excluded from the court room before giving their evidence, anq both police officers swore they had looked in a window of the Rawlinson place at about 2.30 on the morning of August 3rd, had seen the proprietor bringing a tray with six pints of beer on it and had seen one of the patrons pass over a bill, apparently in payment. Patrons Give Evidence Mack Freeberg, who admitted having taken a taxi to Rawlinson‘s in order to get a drink, said he had ordered a "round," though he had not been with the other party. "It was paid for by me with a two dollar bill," witness BWOre. Evidence heard was August 3rd, when P Officer A., R. Clark a stable E. W,.

Aurel Sauve, another of the patrons, said he and a chap by the name of Lajeunesses had gone out to Rawlinâ€" son‘s at 2.30 in the morning to make arrangements for a shack for the weekâ€" end. There were two women with them at the time. Rawlinson had been asleep when they arrived at the place, Sauv® said, and they had walked in and rapped at his bedroom door. The owner had got up and invited them to have a drink, he swore. On learning that Sauve and Lajeunesse had friends waiting outside the place, Rawlinson had askeq them to come in for a drink too. Freeberg had arrived just at that time, according to Sauve. Thought They Were Friends Rawlinson, in the witness box, agreed with Sauve that he had asked about the renting of a cabin for the weekâ€"end. â€"Stanley Rawlins "hotel" at Cook‘s 1: to three months har bury jail at local 1x afternoon by Magis place was made puk second charge of | sale was dropped by "You produced six pints of beer," said Counsel Dean Kester for the deâ€" fence; "were you paid for that?"

Owing to the illness of Judge Caron of Cochrane, the Hollinger appeal against the Town of Timmins income assessment has been delayed. The judge will not be able to sit for the next two or three months, it is understood, and in the meantime anâ€" other judge will have to be appointed. The inspector of legal offices for the province has been in Cochrane this week and it was expected that he would make arrangements to have someone else carry on the work. Up until yesterday, no notice had been reâ€" ceived here of such an appointment. In the ordinary course of events, a date would have been set already for the hearing of an appeal. Recently, the town council decided to call in an expert from Toronto to assist in preâ€" senting their side of the case. Chenier really had a brother, it turned out, who had been employed on a job with another local carpenter. Both had levels, though the one Chenier took was two inches longer than the brother‘s, He had sold it to another carpenter for $2.50, though it was worth four or five dollars. Fined for False Registration After having taken a week in which to consider the case, the magistrate handed down a judgment in the case of Oscar Forest, charged with falsely registering at a local hotel. He was fined $100 and costs. Forest had gone to a hotel and regisâ€" teored with an "and wife" after his name. He had never taken a woman to the room, so far as anyone was able to tell, but he was not married, he adâ€" mitted in police court last week. He had changed his mind about the proâ€" posed action.

It was understood some months ago that a similar action on the part of the Township of Tisdale and the Dome mine would take place, but nothing further has been divulgeq on that side. How Institute for Assists the The weaving of baskets is one of the o‘ldest trades engaged in by blind peoâ€" ple. The art is old, but it is always interesting. At the Canadian National Exhibitizsn, in the exhibit of the Canaâ€" dian National Institute for the Blind, weaving of baskets and all sorts of wickerâ€"work was demonstrated. In adjcoining booths were seen examples f newer development in the compaign to overcome the handicap of blindness. The manufacture of aprons and house dresses on powerâ€"driven sewing machâ€" ines operated by blind girls, the fabriâ€" caticn of articles of woven leather, the construction of rubber mats by blind men, and other handicrafts were inâ€" spected.

J. Stilées of Kapusâ€" kasing, the town council has found it necessary to advertise for applications for the filling of the position. The last date for the receipt of applications for the position is September 15th. Chief Stiles has been in Toronto hospital for treatment for several weeks but his condition.is not improving sufficiently to hold out hopes of his Parly return to duty. The Sudbury Star last week says:â€" "Injured in the first round of the hunt for Dominion Cup honours, Vern Mcâ€" Allister, of Falconbridge, is reported reâ€" covering nicely but it will be some weeks before he is able to return to work. He suffered a broken leg in the game at Schumacher against McIntyre Mines and has been laid up ever since. The cast was removed from his leg last week and he is now making his first attempts to walk. It is extremely doubtful if he will get back into the game this year and his loss has been a serious one to the FPalconbridge cause. His absence from the forward line has been felt throughout the enâ€" tire season. He was rated one of the best in Ontario at his position."

A dinner, tendered in his honour on Sunday evening at the home of Mr. ang Mrs. R. J. Hochâ€" man, was attended by nearly 40 guests. Following the presentation of the cup by Mr. Hochman, testimonial addresses were given by Rev. Mr. Goodman, Louis Halperin, Sol Shankman and Mr. Cohen. Dr. Mindess, in reply, stated that it is with regret he leaves his many friends in the Porcupine district, He will always remember with genuine pleasure the happy associations made here during the four years he has pracâ€" ticeq in Timmins, he said. His deparâ€" ture will be sincerely regretted by a large circle of friends. During the evening Miss Estelle Graham, of Lindsay, who is in Timâ€" mins at present visiting friends, did a number of amusing impersonations.

Paul Filo Passed Away During Sleep The death occurred on Tuesday of Paul Filo, aged 49, of 44 Fourth avenue. He had gone to bed the evening before in apparently good health but was found dead by friends early the next morning. Heart failure was given as the cause of death. He is survived by a wife, at present in Finland, and a fa:nily. He had been a miner here for some years.

Of course, there are two dangersâ€"one that there may be more talk of such activiâ€" ty before the Dominion election than after it. If Hon. Peter Hsenan follows out his plan of apportioning such work by contract the dangers of that sort of political interference will be much minimized. The other line of interâ€" ference is suggested in an article elseâ€" where in this issue, where it is said that difference is apparent in the Onâ€" tario Cabinet in regard to work in the North,. One part of the Cabinet, inâ€" cluding Hon. Peter Hsenan, wants roads built and other work done. The other faction is all for economy so far as the North is concerned. The invesâ€" tigation into Northern Development Dept. affairs some months ago in this riding played right inio the hands of those who were opposed to expendiâ€" tures in the North. If the investigation were justified then the government shoulg not spend money in the North to be wasted or pilfered, was the arâ€" gument put up on the one hand by those opposed to roads and other works in the North. If the justification was lacking for the investigation and the charges without truth, then the North was not entitled to expénditures only to misrepresent matters that way. So the argument went. However, Hon. Peteéer Heenan came to the North reâ€" cently and made a careful survey. He apparently missed no chance to get at the truth, and until there is proof to the contrary, The Advance will be ready to believe that he is sincere and straight and that there is to be proâ€" gramme of road work. Hon. Mr. Heenâ€" an makes heated reply to the suggesâ€" tion that the men on relief work are shirking the work. The article in the Toronto Globe on Tuesday was as folâ€" lows:â€" Big Road Programme for Noith A sweeping programme of reconâ€" struction of Ontario‘s roads in Northâ€" ern Ontario was mooted yesterday by Hon. Peter Heenan. is quoted freely and so the view pressed may be taken as official. Road : Programme Mooted for North," says the twoâ€"column he of the article, while the subâ€"he reads:â€"*"Present Highways Are a ger to Modern Travel and Mu: Rebuilt, Heenan Declares." Denies Men in North Shirking Road Work Hon. Peter Heenan Refers to Published Story as a "Miserable Lie." . Says Men in North All Right. Elsewhere in this issue will be found an article sent from Toronto to Northâ€" ern newspapers, suggesting that there is disSension in the Ontario Cabinet in regard to expenditures in the North, and also insinuating that men in the North have become so accustomed to expecting the government to look afâ€" ter them that they shirk work on the roads and in other enterprises and constantly are looking for "cushy‘" jobs only. Hon. Mr. Heenan at Toronto on Monday made rather heated reply to these two points, or rather to the one about labour in the North. The followâ€" ing is The Toronto Globe‘s report of Hon. Mr. Heenan‘s reply. The Toronto Globe on that "publ Northern : now under now 1 belled Hon.

"Just patching them up," he termed "The Northern Ontario roads in forâ€" mer days were built to get there," the minister said as he proposed their reâ€" construction. Mr. Heenan charged that the roads had been left in the hands of politicians and not in the hands of engineers. The politicians, he claimed, had ordered roads built where they would catch votesâ€""temporary roads, bridges thrown up." Sharp Curves Menace ‘Toâ€"day they are a menace and a danger to modern travelâ€"sharp, sharp curves, light bridges ang many of them rotten at that," the minister said "There must be a 5â€"year or 10â€"year programme of building roads according to presentâ€"day requirements and acâ€" cording to engineers‘ surveys rather than by politicians‘ wishes. Fiveâ€"Year Plan A fiveâ€"year or tenâ€"year programme of roadbuilding is imperative in Northern Ontario, the minister said yesterday. Roads now in use in the North, he claimedâ€""with their light bridges and many of them rotten"â€"are a menace and a danger to modern travel. Such roads, Mr. Heenan said, must be reâ€" constructed practically from _ their foundations up. With his mooted reâ€" construction programme the minister coupled the statement that the halfâ€" constructed arterial roads through the Northern districts should be completed. Wants Cabinet Meeting It might be necessary to start shortly on such work, he said. Asked if it would not be delayed until provincial finances were on an even keel, Mr. Heenan anâ€" swered: "We may have to start right away." All plans, he added, wait on Cabinet meetings after the return of Premier Hepburn. Back in his Queen‘s Park office as Minister of Lands, Forests and Northâ€" ern Development, Mr. Heenan made the reconstruction suggestion a summary of his five weeks‘ travel in Northern Onâ€" tario. The North was â€"worth it, said Mr. Heenan. He claimed an annual producâ€" tion figure of $500,000,000 for Northern Ontario at the end of last month. The minister saiq that he did not think the people of Old Ontario thought of the North as a sinkâ€"hole in which to spend money. ‘Northern Ontario is not a liaâ€" bility on Old Ontario," he said. More Jobless in South The excess of unemployment in Old Ontario was set as the reason for asâ€" signing southern men to the recently created jobs, the minister said. "To suggest that we are selecting men from Old Ontario because they are better workers, is not according to facts." Northern road construction, said Mr. Heenan, had been entirely changed‘ by the new government. Road work was now cone by contract awarded to the lowest bidder, under minimum wage provisions,. "We have the best lot of engineers in the country supervising the work, in addition to the supervision by the Federal Government," the minister said as he charged that the North Bay reâ€" port was politically inspired. Lack of Notice of Closing of the Monteith Academy From Hearst and other sections of the North come complaints that proâ€" per public notice was not given in reâ€" gard to the closing of the Monteith Academy and that as a consequence there was considerable inconvenience resulting. It is claimed that though suggestion of the possibility of the closing of the academy appeared in the newspapers before, it was only a few days before the start of school that there was any officlal announceâ€" ment, and that many had been preparâ€" ing their children for the academy. It might â€"be well for the department in such a case to issue notice some time before but it may be that the officials did all they could in tne matter. It is probable that the announcement was made as soon as the definite closing, or rather the fact that the academy would not be opened again haq been definitely settled. The incident again suggests the value of the local paper in the matter of protecting the time, money and effort of the people. There was warning in the newspapers nearly a year ago, with further advice later, It would be evident to any newspaper reader that the academy was not likely to be continugd, andq probably a postâ€" card to the department or to the school correspondent hKhas been ordered to leave Germany because he wrote something which did not please the government.
