"Why nc prospector does toâ€"day?" that the government woul the actual operation of t] would merely hold an un terest in them. \"By doubling our gold production, which could easily be accomplished in a few years, we can pay off our nationâ€" al debt in 25 years," he said.

The candidate denied the statement that a Stevens government would interâ€" fere with the gold mines of Northern Ontario. This is a provincial matter, he said. Outlines Platform Nine other planks of the Reconstrucâ€" tionist platform were outlined. Eighty per cent. of the youth ef the country will be placed in useful, gainâ€" ful and attractive employment inside of a year, he promised, if the party has a majority in the House of Comâ€" mons. so controlled by money interests Stevens what to say at that Toronto said the speaker. No Connection With Old Party© The chairman of the meeting, R. Hobson, of Schumacher, brought to the attention of the mesting some of the findings of the investigation. Girls are paid 25 cents a dozen for making work pants and shirts in a Montreéeal facâ€" tory, he claimed. He emphasized the statement that "the Reconstructionist party is in no way affiliated with the old Conservative party. Harry H. Steâ€" vens is leading his own party for you and me. Both Bennett and King are in Toronto and Montreal that they dare not put into effect any legislation that would hurt them," he concluded. A programme of road building is contemplated, including the immediate completion of the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way from Sault Ste. Marie to Kenora, opening up what was termed "a great gold field." Roads through the national parks are suggested to bring more tourâ€" ist traffic. Removal at once of the ous level crossings is an the less dangerous cross minated later. Reforestation of denuded and deâ€" pleted timber and pulp lands in order to preserve the national resources on which so much industry depends is imâ€" perative, it is claimed, in order to preâ€" serve towns even in this riding. The party promises to begin this at onge. Removal at once of the most hazardâ€" ous level crossings is another promise, A national hcusing scheme through which loans would be made by banks, trust companies or if necessary by the government itself will be inst'ituted if the Stevens party is returned, said Dr. Murtagh. "We are $300,000,000 behind in homes right now," he claimed.

Better conditions for labour should be effected through a Federal governâ€" ment in coâ€"operation with the province, it was stated. A Soldiers‘ Board for every commuâ€" nity where veteran cases could be heard without delay would cut out the red taps in that connection and such boards would be established by a Reâ€" constructionist government, said the candidate, Taxing of multiple units and corâ€" | at the DOIML, Al~â€" porations would be done in a more| ter three,years in the war, he and 20 equitable manner, hetpromised, and inâ€" ; of his comrades were sent to hospitalâ€" come tax would be levied at the source.| poisoned.

Channen Dies on Wednesday Morning Former Assessment Commissioner of Timmins Passes Away Suddenly. Had Been Prominent in Many Circles in Town and District. Water Commissioner for Tisdale at Time of Death. + i Harold Robert Channen, a popular citizen of the Porcupine for the past ten years, died at his home, 51 Toke street, carly yesterday morning. Alâ€" though he had been at his job as water commissioner for the township of Tisdale the day previous, he had not been well during the past few weeks. Death was due to diabetes. A short service was held this mornâ€" ing at Walker‘s funeral parlours at 11 o‘clock, prior to entrainment for Barâ€" rie, his old home. Rev. Canon R. S. Cuskhing and Rev. Archdeacon Woodall officiated at the service which was atâ€" tendeq by a large number of Mr. Channen‘s friends of Timmins, Schuâ€" macher and South Porcupine. Funeral services and burial will be held toâ€" morrow from his old church, Trinity, in Barrie. Although born in Orillia 40 years ago, Mr. Channen lived most of his life in Barrie, graduating from the colleâ€" giate there shortly before the outâ€" break of war. When he joined the overâ€" seas forces, he was employed in the Canadian National Railway offices at Allandale, the divisional point. Afâ€" ter three,years in the war, he and 20 of his comrades were sent to hospitalâ€" poisoned. He never completely recovâ€" ered from the effects. Published at Timmina, Ont., Canade, Every MONDAYX and THURSDAY Charges Against the Police Unfounded After thoroughly discussing two deâ€" finite cases with Magistrate Atkinson on Tuesday night, the police committes of the town council decided against doing anything to recompense the Prince of Wales hotel for aamage done during a recent raid on that property. In another connection, it had tkeen alâ€" leged that police officers handled some men too roughly without having dus cause, Committee Exonerates Polâ€" ice After Investigation of Both complaints, neither of which reached the magnitude of charges, were found to be without grounds. In the case of the Prince of Wales, a search warrant had been procured before the raid and when entrance was found to be impossible in any other manner, doors were broken down. The officers were acting within their rights, the police committee is now satisfied, and made the forced entrance in the best interests of the public. It would have been impossible to bring the men to the lockâ€"up in any other way than by force, it was decided in regard to the alleged "assault." Had charges been laid against the men as originally intended, ample proof was available that they had resisted arrest. The fact that the charges were later dropped had nothing to do with the officers who were forced to use force before being able to persuade the men to go along quietly, pletely vindicated Channens came north about 1925 and after being in the insurance business at Iroquois Falls angq Timmins for a short time, Mr. Channen was offered the post of assessment commissioner. This position was held by him until 1933, when he accepted the position of water commissioner for the townâ€" ship of Tisdale at South Porcupine. One daughter, Helen Rhea; his wife; his mother, Mrs. H. C. Channen, of Barrie; two brothers, Edward C. Chanâ€" nen of Barrie and Rev. Gordon Chanâ€" nen of Bradford; and his sister Eleanâ€" or, of Barrie, survive him. The late Mr. Channen was prominent in many circles in town, holding office for many years as secretary of the Liberalâ€"Conservative Association of the town, and at one time was secretaryâ€" treasurer of the Timmins branch of the Legion, and occuping other posiâ€" tions showing public confidence. Records Broken by Weather Recently The past couple of weeks have been great ons for breaking weather reâ€" cords. Monday‘s snowfall which totalled four inches is the heaviest one ever recorded in the month of September in Timmins. "There‘s never been anything like it before," the weatherman said this morning.

Beâ€" tween last night at six o‘clock and this morning at nine o‘clock an inch and a quarter of rain fell. Betwseen three and five o‘clock this morning, it came down in sheets. Probabiliti‘s are that it will continue stormy and unfavourable with rain or light showers within the next day or so.

Surprises Emâ€" ployees by the Ordering of Whole Departments from North Bay to Midâ€"Railâ€" way Point. North Bay, October 3.â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"Thirty members of the heagq office staff of the T. N. O. Railway here received notice late yesâ€" torday afternoon that the positions which they filled at North Bay were biing shifted to Englehart "in the inâ€" tercsts of more efficient operation of the railway," and that they would leave the city toâ€"night for their new home. Division Superintendent W. A. Grifâ€" fin and his staff, Chief Despatcher R. Workman and his staff, together with the chisfs and staffs of departments contingent to them, are involved in the move, which will take from North Bay, according to figures given by A. H. Cavanagh, general manager of the road, 15 or 16 heads of families, eight or ten single men, and three or four single girls. Prepare This Morning Preparations for the move were unâ€" der way this morning, with the party scheduled to leave for the North in coaches attached to the regular freight late toâ€"night. Office space for the augâ€" mented staff is available at Englehart, Mr. Cavanagh stated, but he made no reference as to the availability of housâ€" ing accommodation in the Northern centre. "It is believed that more efficient operation will be possible with these gqepartments being dirscted from Engleâ€" hart, a point midway along the railâ€" way, than with direction from North Bay, at one end of the line," Mr. Caâ€" vanagh explained this morning in disâ€" cussing the move. Protest of the action has been voiced from a number of North Bay groups. Mayor W. G. Bullbrook and members of. the city council, and J. Harry Marâ€" ceau, M.L.A. for Nipissing, have taken the lead in protesting to Premier Mitâ€" chell F. Hepburn, Col, Mac Lang, chairman of the railway commission and to Mr. Cavanagh, the move which will take a number of North Bay‘s most prominent citizens to Englehart.
