The cass had been made peremptory for this week and if the impor‘.ant witâ€" ness had not arrived the charges would have been dropped. My. Maric Larche, the victim of the robbery, was the first witness called, by the crown and she said that on the: night of May 16‘h she had gone to a; restaurant across the Mattagami river: bridge.

Crown Attorney Caldbick argued that the Ssegouin girl and Toutaint were acâ€" complices after the crime and ‘ that they wore, therefore, just as gullty as Nellie Rich. The magistrate then deâ€" cided to commit them for trial. _ The car was stopped by them about â€"six miles south of Kirkland Lake and the occupants were questioned. T;uy â€"mere first told that a sum of money amounting to $400 had been stolen im The corporal then questioned them as to where they were going and Miss Rich said they were going to Montreal.

Cecil Wil« liams, chief organizer for the Navy League of Canada, was in Timmins and delivered an eloquent review of the work of the Navy League and its purâ€" poses and scope. The address was given in the New Empire Theatre on a Sunday evening after the ghurch serâ€" vices, and was under the auspices of the Admiral Beresford Branch (Porâ€" cupine) of the Navy League. The mayor, Dr. J. A. McInnis, presided at the meeting. ‘The Timmins citizzns‘ BRand provided music for the occasion and there was a further musical proâ€" gramme including a girls‘ quartetls, a trio, Mrs. J.â€"K. Moore, A. W. Snow, Jas. Geils, E. R. Strest, and others. Mrs. J. W. Faithful presided at the plano. Mr. Gusjer, organizer for the North Land, also spoke on the Mavy League work. Timmins and that they were accused ofâ€" the theft. They were then asked how much money they had on them. Nellie Rich produced a small purse containing a hundred dollars and she had another eight dollars that was in the bigger purse loose. Marguerite Segouin had $154 on her and Toutlaini, the driver, had another 376 This money was all taken from them and placed in separate envelopes and on the outside of the envelopes was writâ€" ten the number of each denomination of bills that was contained in the enâ€" velopes. These envelopes were all handed in as evidence. Notice was given in The Advanes tweniy years ago that the visit to the North Land of the AS"'Julabed Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerc: of Onilario planned for June of 1921 had been postponed indefinitely. The reason given President Ostrosser of the Timmins board of trade was that Torâ€" onto expected to have a numiber of conventions in the ci‘y during the. €ummer and it would not be well to have the business men of the city away in the North during the summer. The Advance was inclined to be quite sarâ€" castic about the matter, questioning the business judgment of the business men of the South for throwing up the cpportunity to get better acquainted with one of their best customersâ€"the North Land. It is interssting to recall the fact that twenty years ago the Associated Goldfields of Larder Lake had> a caterpillar tractor for use on the Lardâ€" er Lake road. This was one of the first efforts on the part of the mining industry in this part of the North to make use of this more upâ€"toâ€"date method of transportation. In this connection The Advance twenty years ago said:â€"‘"Th:; Associaied Goldfields of Larder Lake have purchased a caterpillar tractor for use on the Lardâ€" er road. It is a 5â€"ton tractor that wil‘ draw about ten ton a load. At fui) load it is expected to make three miles an hour, while wilh a light load it may reach as great a speed as five miles per hour. This caterpillar tracâ€" tor is so constructed as to be good for use on particularly any kind of road. The success following its use will be watched with general interest in the North Land. If it is found successful it will suggest a comparatively econoâ€" mical method for many mines to overâ€" come the transportation problems inâ€" cidental ‘to properties lying several miles from a railroad line and with roads that are as perfect as the Farmâ€" ers‘ Government or the O.T.A. Tt is understood that the Associated Goldâ€" fields have purchased also trailers and gravel loaders so that the tractor may also be of additional use in road and repair work. The Associated Goldfields managements shows an ingenuity and originality in surmounting difficulites and so there will be a general wish ning, May 23rd, in the 1.O.O.F. hall at South Porcupine by the Porcupine that in this case they are successfu) in showing a new way out of the difâ€" ficulty of transportation of heavy material over light roads."

Everyone in town was anxious for any new industry here, but some thought the town:â€"could pay too much in this line. The Advance twenty years ago had the following reference:â€"‘"The town council had a busy time on Monâ€" day, the two chief matters before the board being a letter from the Fesserton Lumber Co. seeking encouragement for the establishment of a new industry here, and the question of passing the byâ€"law regarding .the debentures for the waterworks extensions. The Fesâ€" serton Co. said the mill they proposed establishing would employ 150. men, They asked the town to provide a free site for the industry. The council were agreed on the benefits of the new industries.â€"here but at the same time some <thought the town should very carefully consider any terms that would be in the nature of a bonus to new. industries. A special meeling is called: for today and a representative will likely be present for the Pesserton Co. and the whole question can be careâ€" fully considered. At this meeting also the matter of the waterworks debenâ€" tures byâ€"law. will likely be dealt . Bushnell was a popular brought very hearty and merited | use. Mr. C.

Martin added to the effectiveâ€" ness of the programme by his usual excellent â€"work as accompanist.
