Ootgosser STRaIGHT ARoM THE fALS Optimistic Facts and Figures Given Local Team At Annual Meet.ing and Banquet | Of Di Of Timmins Board of Trade. l Optimism was the keynote of the apeeches and the atmosphere at the annuak meeting and Banquet of the Timmins Board of Trade, held in the #fotel Goldfields on Thursday evening last. There were about 100 repreâ€" sentative citizens present, while a number of others sent their regrets at being unafle to be present on acâ€" counts of other pressing engagements. Among those unable to attend mesâ€" sages of regret were given the gatherâ€" ing from Mr. R. A. Mcelnnis, presidâ€" ent of the Associated Boards of Trade; from Mr. A.,F. Brigham, genâ€" eral manager of the Hollinger Consoâ€" lidated ; and from Mr. Whelan, manâ€" ager of the Mattagami Pulp & Paper was $2,225,000.00, and the revenue from taxes, royalties, etc., amounted io $170,000.00. Mr. Ostrosser reviewâ€" ed _the work accomplished by the Board of Trade in 1920 and said that the Secretary Mr. D. W. O‘Sullivan, would deal further in detail with this in his annual report. President Osâ€" "trosser, however, took occeasion to reâ€" fer to the fact that the proposed North Land Highway from Timmins, Iroquois Falls and Cochrane to North Bay, where it would connect with the highway systems of Old Ontario, had heen first introduced by a member of the Timmins Board of Trade, Mr. Geo. A. Smith, and had received its first support and its first financing From the Timmins Board. He hoped to see work on the Highway commeneâ€" ad this year. Mr. Ostrosser earnestly mIig were over iour and iA .l dollars. The freight and p turns for 1920 were nearly ters of a million, and we by on‘ly one other town i1 anything like the same s mins. The assessment c i this year. NMr. Ustrosser Carnesllly urged all this year to coâ€"operate and work together to make the Board of Trade, as it should be, of primary imâ€" portance and usefulness to the town. Mr. D. W. O‘Sullivan, the secretary freasurer, gave a report of much inâ€" terests. The Board has a balance on hand of $197.03, after some extra exâ€" penditures duringâ€"tue year, including expenses of inaugurating the camâ€" vaign to secure a North Land Highâ€" way very wot ns reâ€"arrangement of other Division Court territory in this part of the North was planned, and a meeting of the Division Court Board will be held at Timmins in the course of & couple of months to hear all sides of the arâ€" g#ument on the matter. The extension of the T. & N. 0. Railway to connect with the=C.N.R. near Sudbury had been impressed upon Premier Drury, who, however, hbhad aparently been afraid it might interfere with the proâ€" fits of the main line of the T. & N.

The game was a fast, clean one, and showed that the local boys get better right along. The one incident to mar the game was the hitting of Worters in the face by a stick, Boucher being put »ff for five minutes for this. The great est goalâ€"tender in the league here lost a couple of teeth and had his lip badâ€" ly cut as a result of the blow. The Porcupine boys outclassed the visitors from the start, Dixie setting the pace by going right through in about 30 seconds and counting one. Don Campâ€" bell also took a material part in the scoring, being responsible for three counts and figuring in many good combinations and tries. Don played a great game, Spring and Cox also starred with speedy and effective work. Frank MeGuire was right there as usual. He broke up any combinaâ€" tions attempted ‘by the visitors and his stickâ€"handling and straight shootâ€" ing were features of the game. ~Burâ€" ritt, who‘has not ‘been in a N.O.H.A. game before this season, shows great promise and worked hard and effectâ€" ively. Between he and MceCurry, they kept the forward line in the limelight ill the time. . MeCurry, who.is just bout all right again from the injury received at the Falls on Friday, playâ€" d a star eame every minute he was Worters, made it look for a time as it :ae score would be 7 to 0. The Falls, rlowever, did succeed eventually in retting in 2, while Poreupine got. anâ€" ither, making the final seore 8 to 2. The game was not as oneâ€"sided as he score suggests but the Falls men ire not as good shots as the Poreupine boys. like MeGuire for instance. Also the Falls did not have a Roy Worters in gog@l. The game generally was clean and fast and comparatively free from penalties, Ace Jewell refereed. The Falls lineâ€"up was the same as in the zrame on Friday night. > There was a crowd of a couple of hundred from the Falls for the game, ut they were unusually quiet after the gcame was well started. One of the secrets of the striking suceess of the Poreupine Hockey Team is the goodfellowship existing betâ€" ween all the players and between them and the officials of the club. They are all friends working wholeâ€" heartedly together to win. Only those who know the inside. of sport know ‘ow much it means for all the players to have*that loyal, unselfish, friendly feeling for each other. It means team work of the brightest kind.

The plan of having a Provincial Health Nurse permanently stationed here is proving of unusual benefit to the safeguarding of the public health and the method is to be adopted by ther North Land towns. Sudbury is at present making arrangements to seâ€" cure such a nurse. The holding of Child Welfare Clinies here each week is also likely to be widely copied by other Northern towns. For the past two weeks the Timâ€" mins Board of Health has been conâ€" ducting an original feature in the form of a public health column in The Advance. In this column brief but pithy advice is given on health matâ€" ters, special attention being given to advising the prompt reporting of conâ€" tagioug and infections diseases.

It will be remembered that at the last meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade at Timmins the Iroquois Falls Board deferred this resolution. There was some question as to its desirabilâ€" ity from the standpoint of the Assoâ€" ciated Boards of Trade, but the Falls people reécognized the value of such a resolution as a help to the solution of labour problems and could see nothing but good likely to result from a full and free discussion of the quesâ€" tion. The Associated Boards of Trade however, shelved the matter by deâ€" legating its consideration to a Comâ€" mittee \xl:u were to report at the comâ€" ing session. The withdrawal of the motion will make it unnecessary for any present further consideration of the question by the Associated Boards of Trade and so will leave mare time and attention for problems more disâ€" tinctly North Land questions. Iroâ€" quois Falls has had a comparatively lon#@ and eminently succeessful experâ€" Yerhy Collective Bargaining is really more of a national than a North Land quesâ€" tion, though it might have been a good thing for the North Land to hay shown the nation the example. Hoz- ever, the withdrawal of the motion, as suggested above, will leave so much more time at the coming meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade for the discussion and consideration of strictly North Land questions, and there are certainly enough of them to make a very busy time for the deâ€" legates. rIve med in any, of the t #* B veral teams will have as gs.

Poreupine then went out after the lead, and 9‘.0:{ on a pass from Spring did. the trick. Fraok McGuire scored the olher goal of the game afâ€" ter one of the spectacular plays of the evening. He had been beaten out of a goal that he had earned and made. He got by the defence and Bennetft threw his stick. The referee saw the stickâ€"throwing and rang his bell just before Frank shot the puck into the nets. â€" Frank naturaily did not like this and within five minutes he had gotten through the defence again and this time made a seore that was count ed as it should be. The Poreupine boys received heavy handling from the heavyweights of the Falls team. Jess Spring wasn‘t bothered much that way, though.

LISYZFAPD‘S VIERW OF THE DEFEAT BY IROQUOIS FALLS Speaking of the defeat by Iroquois Falls of the Liskeard team on the latter‘s ice on the 218t, The New Lisâ€" keard Speaker suggests that the specâ€" tators felt that the team that won did not put up the best brand of hockey by any means. ‘‘"The Iroquois Falls team did not play anything like the game they did in the former meeting of these two teams,‘‘ says The Speakâ€" er. **They played absolutely no comâ€" bination whatever their four goals beâ€" ing scored on lone rushes and were netted largely because the Liskeard defence did not use body as their opâ€" ponents did underâ€"similar ~cireumsâ€" tances."‘ ~\The goal tending of Corâ€" bould is highly praised by The Speakâ€" er. ‘The Speaker says that Troquois Falls ‘*will have to get d#wn to a bet ter system of: combination if they wish to trim the Timmins ‘team.‘‘ And here is an interesting sentence I'mn{ the report of The Speaker:â€" ‘*Bridge, on defence, was especially nsoful as an interference plaver and 11 OT the crowd and Jess was shnw(ercd] with good wishes. Then somebody | suggested that the happy crowd should show their appreciation of the new father by a birthday gift to the new son. , In a few minutes a purse of some hundred and twenty odd dollars was handed to Jess Spring as a birthâ€" day present to his son from the Porâ€" eupine fans. Jess tried to make suitâ€" able reply, but the crowd would hardâ€" ly let him speak for cheering and shouting good wishes. It was a happy erowd, and the end of a perfect day. Regarding the meeting of the Asâ€" cilated Boards of Trade at Cobalt on b. 15th and 16th, the President, Mr. A. Mcelnnis has issued the followâ€" z letter to the newspapers of the There was another wreck on the T. N. 0. last week with the usual proâ€" dure and effect.

Railway made sever or eight hundred dollars easy money out of the special train to Iroquois Falls Friday night. Everybody up here would like to see the T. & N.

That would be a busines# proposition with which the sports here would quarrel little. They would be ready to take a chance on meeting that guarantee.

When the attention of Chairman Geo. W.

Any man up here who has taken any interest t sport knows it costs more to finaneg it than further south. The long disâ€" tances between towns and other eonâ€" ditions make sport costly up here. Every sport has a struggle to make nds come near meeting in this North Land.
