Total Assessment Close " To $2,500,000.00. , The assessment roll for the Town of Timmins shows a number of very interesting facts this year. The po- pulation of the town, according to the roll is 4598, an increase of 500 over last year's figures. The assessment was made from February and so could not include all the recent influx of people to the town. Fully 500, over and aboye those on the roll, have come to town recently. This makes the population of Timmins over the 5000 mark. This refers, of the municipality only, and include Rochester Townsite, 5000 mark. This refers, ot course, to the municipality only, and does not include Rochester Townsite, Mattaga- mi, Moneta or any of the adjacent communities that are practically an integral part of Timmius, but not in- side the borders of the town as a mu- nieipality. If these adjacent places were included it would run the popu- lation up to 6500 or more. The assessment roll gives thetown an assessment of close to $2,500,00.00, about a quarter of a million dollars more than last year.. The increase is due chiefly to new buildings and to the additional staff at the big mine. There were 700 more men at the mine at the time of the assessment than at the same time last year. Only a very small partof the new buildings erect- " here this year are included in the 1921 assessment roll, as most of them were not under way until Assessor W. S. Maepherson had passed by. it is apparent that if Timmins grows in the next three or four years at the same rate as it is growing this year.

I Two of) the new machines in the ex- tension recently made to the Abitibi Power 8: Paper Co. mill at Iroquois Falls. are the largest type of paper making machine built in the world. One of these is expected to be making paper this week. It is 232 inches wide and will turn out 85 tons of news- print paper per day. The two big) new machines have a capacity of 170 tons per day and with the other ma- chines in the mill, the total capacity is now 500 tons of newsprint daily. Another paper making machine re- cently installed at Iroquois Falls and started up last week, is No. 5. This machine has a wire width of 158 in. and will make 60 tons of newsprint paper per daily. The special feature of No. 5 machine is the fact that it is one of the four paper machines in Canada equipped .wtili a sectional eieetrial drive. By the electric drive each section of the machine is driven thy separate motors running: in syn- chrony, with each other. By this method there is no appreciable loss through power transmission by belts, ete, and a much greater speed is poss- ible, Abitibi Co., means the g (Innis Falls and district.

As Mr. ("avter is away on his vaention, Mr. W. Pieree has been appointed manager of' the town team in the manager ot Mines 'League These ttppointments should start baseball away with a swing, as both managers are the right men for the places. The Hollinger team is getting out to practice andi is showing the effect of praetiee. Practice is neeesst1ry for g’uud baseball. No doubt Manager Seull)‘ who is an old-timer at the sport will see that the District team lines up to the mark fur praetiee, and Manager Pierre will follow the same lead with his town team in the Mines League. Nothing can take the place of prartiee in baseball. Batter up, boys! KIRKLAND LAKE MAKES FIRST WIN FROM TIMMINS Timmins football team met its first Jefeat of the season and Kirkland Lake registered its first win in the match in the King Cup series at Kirk- land Lake on Saturday last. Kirkland Lake won by the close scare of 2 to I, and the Timmins boys frankly admit Kirkland deserved to win the game as they put up a fine exhibition of good. football and worked' hard from start to finish. The game was a closely C'otl- tested one as the score indicates, and Timmins held up its end of the match all right. One spectator at the match says it was one of the finest exhibr. tions of clean and clever football ever seen in the. North Land mid with this view not many who saw the game will differ. Up to four minutes before h'nal time the score stood l to 1, and many thought it might close a draw. But Kelly brought down the ball, made a clever pass to Bolton, Bolton passing to Steve Vair who fooled the Timmins goal-keeper, thus making the final score Kirkland 2, Timmins 1. Mr. Sherrett, of the Dome, refereed the game, and was generally satisfac- tory. The hospitality and good sports manship shown by the Kirkland Lake team and people was 'very pleasing to the visitors, who, while certainly making them win the victory, were no to the visitors, who, while certainly making them win the victory, were no les-zs satisfied with the win for Kirk- land. "It's the game that counts, not thebipning, and that was certainly a rattling good game at Kirkland Lake,," is the way one player puts it. (Mr. A. F.

Clllullllilllll Government at Long Last Makes An. nouncemeut of Col. Martin and Col. MacLaren as Commis- sioners. ottieial announeement was made yesterday that Col. John L. McLaren, of Hamilton, and LieutM?ol. luw- renee Martin, of Ottawa, were ap- pointed to the T. & N. o. Railway Commission to complete the Board. (Col. McLaren was one of the found- ers of the wholesale grocery firm in Hamilton bearing his name and is es- teemed as a good business man of high character. He was the Offieer Com- manding of the 19th Battalion which he mmnmnded for some time over- seas Col. Martin once lived in Renfrew undavas known as "Larry." He was a iirst-e':css man in those days and there is no reasun to believe he is any diiferent now. He is a nephew of Senator M. J. lyBrien, and in con- junetiop with the latter was concern- ed with the work on several of the euntracts for the construction of the Transeontinental Railway. Col. Mar- tin is a railway engineer by profes- sion, and has had a ‘very wide exper- ience in railway matters. He recruit- ed the 7th Battalion of Canadian Rail- way humps in 1916, going overseas with them as commanding oftieer. He won the I).S,t). overseas and general- ly has a noteivortiv'ivar record for service overseas. Some tomeago, the suggestion was made that the Farmers' Croveriunent intended to appoint these two men as the T. & N. o. Commissioners. This suggestion raised a storm of protest, the North Land generally taking the stand that for the North Land Rail- way, North Land men who understood the (-ountry and its needs and eondi- tions should be appointed. The Farm- ers' Government, however, after still- ing aroitnd for another while, have shown how much attention they pay to suggestions from the North Land. The North Land should keep its mouth shut. It is not supposed to think or talk. All the North Land is supposed to do is to supply the money through taxation for the Farmers' Government to have a good time buy- ing autos, etc., without tender, and not taxing the farmers down below. However, now that the appoint- ments aremade, the North Land must make the best of it. There has never been any question as to the ability or integrity of either Col. McLaren or (‘ol. Martin. They are both good men. ,(iul. Martin also knows much about the North 'Lund through his work here in railway eontraeting. He is even now reported as having once been employed on the T. & N. 0., though in what eapaeity it is not stat- In the Chairman of the T. & N. O. ("ommissiom Mr. Geo, W. Lee, the people-of the North Land feel they have a capable, loyal and "energetic friend. If the new appointees to the Commission follow' his lead they will be popular here, though at present their appointment is not particularly pleasing. The people of the North Land are, however, always ready to be shown, and the new 1'oitunission by merit can win full approval and con- h'denee. It is strictly up to them. If they Show the some intelligence and enthusiasm for the benefit of the North Land and its development-that have been evidenced by Chairman Lee all will be well indeed.
