Solomon and A. E. Prout met to decide the possession of this trophy for the 1929â€"30 season. Solomon won the trophy 13â€"5. "Major Hartt, inspector of Crown Timber agencies and inspector of logâ€" ging cperations for the Ontario Govâ€" ernment, was a visitor to Timmins this week with the purpoase of making the necessary arrangements for the keeping open of the Mattagami river for the use of the settlers and the general pubâ€" lic, while at the same time allowing its legitimate use for lumber and pulp companies," said The Advance ten years azo. Major Hartt reached Timmins on Sunday avening and Monday morning was in toutch with the lumber and pulp operators. He had a mesting with the operators on Monday morning and plans were made for assuring to all conâ€" cerned satisfactory conditions on the river during the ~cminz summer. In was in tou operators. operators plans were river during the eccming summer. in most years previous to last year the river was too frequently blocked for general use and in addition there were always times when even the lumâ€" ber and pulp interests felt that certain of their number were discriminating have real hockey here again in a yea or two,." was the way several expresse themselves. In the junior series, th Junior Tuxis and the Holy Name Juni ors played to a tie, 5â€"5. In the senio section of the T.BAA., the game be tween the Senior Tuxis and the Junio Seconds resulted in a win for the Tuxi against the others in the matter of the use of the river. The result was geonâ€" eral dissatisfaction. The public genâ€" erally felt that the river should be kept open for traffic as it is the chief nighway for many settlers and for others during the summer season.‘ junior and senior game in the Timmins RBoys‘ Athletic Association hockey and all the hockey ‘ans were enthusiastic about the brand of hockey shown in all four games. "It looks as if we would have real hockey here again in a year or twa." was the way several expressed Canadian Village Made to Order, is Now "Ski Capital" (By Peorcy Ghent) | Procopius, a Greek historian of the] sixth century A.D., mentions a race of Northern Europe he called "Skridâ€" finnar.‘"‘ Freely translated, that word means gliding Finns, or Finns on skis. It is not surprising that these valiant folk are expert skiers in peace or warâ€" they have fourteen centuries of peace behind them. In Canada,. on the other hand, the sport of skiing has only found popular favour within the last fourâ€" teen years or less. And that is surprisâ€" ing for we have abundant snow and lots of hillside trails. Snow, crisp and. deep, clean and glistening, down in the Laurentians, for instance, that will satisfy the imost exâ€" acting skier from December to May. And the ideal conditions in that winter playground, with others in Quebec and Ontario, enccurage the hope that the migration of American tourists to our summer lakeland will in future years be rivalled by an annual trek to the alluring skiâ€"trails of Canada through the winter months. For Canada is a heaven to which all good American skiers hope to soâ€"ibefore they die. Million Dollar Ski Town Perhaps the American slant of the situation. has been overâ€"stressed. ‘But we have tkeen reading an article in the Oval, journal of Canadian Industries Limited, and in it, George Stanley tells of the enthusiasm of a Philadelphia spqrtsman, Joseph Ryan, for the Canâ€" adian winter scene. Mr. Ryan has established the North American "Ski Capital‘" at Mount Tremblant, ninety miles north of Montreal. And the enâ€" terprise of this man is a thing to marâ€" vel at. Just two years ago, while visitâ€" ing the snowslad wilderness around the loftiest of the Laurentian peaks, he dreamed of a winter sports resort in that majestic setting. This season his dream is a million dollar village, the capmital of Skiâ€"land. Forty pineâ€"panelled cottages have been built on the lower slope of Tremâ€" blant.

J. McAuhey, of the Norandaâ€"Swastika run on the Nipissing Central line, have been notified by the Rcyal Bank of Canada through the Kirkland Lake branch that they have been awarded 200 each for their part in the uncoverâ€" ing of a counterfeit ring in this disâ€" trict nearly two months ago. On Sunday night, February 4, Mr. McCaughey picked up a roll of nine bills on the floor of a coach on the train from Noranda which had come in tc Swastika station to meet the Northland. He took the bills in to Mr. Sayer for his inspection..

"I noticed that the colouring was nosr ard the quality of the paper also struck me as inferior to the usual bank nctes," he said. "The engraving of the nportraits in the bills also was very portraits in badly done." The bil\s really "hit him in the eye" as soon as he saw them and he knew right away that they were count>tâ€" feit, he said. At the time he was busy selling ticâ€" kets for the Northland, and he asked Mr. Aughey to call the provincial po!â€" ice at Kirkland Lake. In a few minâ€" utes Constable A. McDougall appeared on the platform to mail a letter and they asked him to inspect the bills. He had arrived at the station by accident and not in response to the telephore call. The conductor recaled that a woman carrying a large metal suitecase had been sitting in the seat where the roll of bills was found. The suitcase was observed standing in the waiting rcom just inside the door. The woman had boarded a bus for Kirkland Lake. She was asked to aceccmpany the officer and gave her name as Nancy Hill, of Rouyn. When the suitcase was lifted from the staâ€" tion floor two more bills fell out, At the police station the suitcase disgorged bundle after bundle â€" of counterfeit morey, especially when it was found that there was a hidden compartment.
