The Preâ€"| ident, Mr. D. Ostrosser, occupied t'.xe; bair, and explained that on account £ the Assocrited Boards of Tradc' Glding their meeting here in Febru-l ry and a banquet being desirable for [Hat occasion, it was doubtful if it| rould be practical to follow the plan | )f previous years and have a banquet | it the annual meeting of the TimmiusE Board of Trade, the two '])an.lum\" :oming so close together. *\ The general opinion of the meeting vas in agreement with that of the| President.

At the same time it was believed that every effort should be given to aking a special success of the Annuâ€" |al Meeting of the Timmins Board of Trade and increasing the membership and interest in the local Board to #he greatest extent possible. As the Preâ€" sident pointed out, there is much for the Timmins Board of Trade to acâ€" complish and if the Town is to conâ€" ltinue to prosper and advance the Board of Trade must take an active }‘and energetic part in the interests of the business men and the people genâ€" ’era]ly.. ‘ It was eventually decided to hold the annual meeting of the Timmins "i]oard of Trade on Thursday evening bf this week, Jan. 12th.

The officers of the Board of Trade for the ensuing term will be elected at this meeting and it is desivrâ€" ed to have as representative an atâ€" tendanee as possible. (With all the citizens of the town taking an interest in the Board of Trade and showing the right spirit of coâ€"operation and .supâ€" port, there is a great amount of good that may be accomplished for Timâ€" mins in 1922. At_he annual meeting on Thursday evening of this week a review will be give of what was done by the Timmins Board of Trade in 1921.

A special invitaâ€" tion is given to the homesteaders of Mountjoy, the fame of whose market garden and other produce hbhas spread throughouf the district. With the coâ€"operation of all, the Porcupine Fair can easily become a leader and the cause of agriculture generally be advanced very materially in the disâ€" trict. * f Last year, with only two or three weeks of preparation and this time rather late in the season, the Fair of the Poreupine Agricultural Associaâ€" tion was unusually successful and pl@asing. But last year was only a commencement. With organization per fected now and with the capable ofâ€" ficers in charge and the many all through the district showing an ac tive interest, the 1922 Fair will unâ€" doubtedly be a very noteworthy event. All in the Poreupine district should vive sympathetic support and encourâ€" agement to the Agricultural Associaâ€" tion. ‘ge) success of the Fair and the Associf@ibn not only means a help to acriculture, but it will also prove a splendid advertisement for the Camp ns well as a feature of miuch intersst and pleasure to all in the district.

A. Timmins brought a party of visitors from Montreal to town last week. They were shown through the Hollinger mine and mill and also viewâ€" ed the motion picture films of tife Ho.| linger and other mines at the New Empire Theatre. The party had a very pleasant and interest \g time while here and all thoroughly‘ enjoyed the visit. T mparty included :â€"Mr. and Mrs. N%mins; Mr. and Mys. N. J. Timmins, Mr. J. R.

Wreck on T. & N. O. Railway On Monday Morning. KA wreck occured on the T. & N. ().% Ry. on Monday morning when the| early train from here ran off the tmqkl in the cut near the Hollinger siding.’ The derailment was due to something wrong with the switchâ€"perhaps ice or snow in the switch. The Sunday evening train safely passed over the track and the switch was not touched afterwards. The switch is secured from outside tampering being under a strong lock, The engine and two or three of the cars left the track, the engine turning over on its side,. No one was seriously hurt and as usual with the T. & N. O. no passenger sufâ€" fered any hurt.. Probably. if it had not been for the skill and watchfulâ€" ness of the engineer in charge, Mr. 1n. Shaw, the accident would have been more serious. Engineer Shaw seemed to see that something was wrong the instant the engine came to the switch. He had the ‘‘air‘‘ on before the anâ€" gine was over the switch and the train which had been going at a slow rate through the cut was almost instantly brought to a standstill. ‘The engine Iploughed along for a little piece and went over on its side. The engineer and fireman landed safely and unhurt with the train properly stopped. Conâ€" ductor Murray was not quite so forâ€" |tunavte, being rather badly shaken up. The passengers in general were nardly shaken up, so well was the work of those in charge of the train looked after. Another engine had to be sent in here to take the train out, several hours late. The wrecked engine had | to be taken south for repairs. f ENGINE AND CARS LEAVE TRACK NFEAR S0MG Liberal Party Executive Not to Proâ€" ceed Further in Case Against the Return of Labour Member. PROTEST DROPPED 1X ThE TEMISKAMING EEGTION IMr. Angus MeDonald, M.P., for Te-! miskaming Riding, will not have to make any fui‘ther fight to retain the seat won a month or so ago in the genâ€" eral election.. The protest against his return as member will not be earried any further, This decision is underâ€" stood to have been reached finally and definitely last week at a meeting of the Executive of the Liberal Party of the riding at a special meeting held in Cobalt to consider the question in. all its bearings. It is said that the Executive felt that in view of all the civreumstances and conditions the carâ€" rying through further‘of the protest proceedings would not work to the ulâ€" timate benefit of the party, the riding or theâ€" country.. Recommendations from the headquarters at Ottawa supâ€" ported this opinion, and so the idea of going on with the formal protest is now understood to be abandoned. The grounds for protest had practically nothing to do with the actions or it titude or opirions of the memberâ€" elect. Thereâ€"were no suggestions of anything amiss on the part of the canâ€" didate or his committees. The grounds for the protest had to do with what were considered irregularities in the conduct of the election, and these alleged irregularities were in no manâ€" ;and in addition the officials had no ofâ€" }ficia] reason for considering a poll reâ€" lqrwed at this farther north point. ’Nthe“sitting member for this riding #*olds the seat by only a smali majority, the general feeling will be that the dropping of the protest is the wise and sportsmanlike proceeding iunder all the eonditions existing. ner traceable to Mr. MeDonald or any of his lieutenants. They were instead, simpy due, it was claimed, to overâ€" sights on the part of the officers in charge of the election arrangements. Even at that, nothing more sérious than lack of foresight was suggested. The one particular ground emphasized was the failure to have two particular polisâ€"one at Wawaitin and the other 4t Moose Factory. In the one case the ballot box did not arrive in time for the holding of the poll at the booth in question, and in the case of Moose Factory no arrangements were made for a poll. In regard to the latter it is claimed in reply that the natural conditions at the time of year made the holding of a poll impractical Mrs, J. B. Forrester, 83 Third Ave., entertained a number of friends to a euchre and social evening last Wedâ€" nesday. The party dispersed at midâ€" night, a pleasant evening being enjoyâ€" ob us The inaugural meeting of the Timâ€" mins Town Council was held on Monâ€" day morning at 11 o‘clock, the Mayor and Councillors being duly sworn into office by Mr. H. E. Montgomery, Clerk Treasurer. Inaugural Mesting of Town Council Held on Monday Morning. GOUNGIL COMMITTEES APPOINTED FOR YEAB The Town Council for 1922 is as follows:â€" ‘Mayorâ€"Dr. J. A.

The Mayor welcomed all the old members back to the Council Board and also gave welcome to the one new member, Mr. J. H. Bacon. His Worâ€" ship referred to the good work of last year and the harmony and coâ€"operaâ€" tion shown, and expressed the hope and the belief that the same good conâ€" ditions would be shown in 1922. ‘The following standing committees were‘sclected for the year, the firstâ€" namedâ€"in each case being the chairâ€" man :â€" Seu inancéeâ€"I. 1..) ‘Longmore, L.

Financial Men From The South Thoroughly Pleased With > Developments. This week a party of shareholders of the Hayden Mine visited the Camp and inspected the property and were thoroughly pleased with the developâ€" ments evident as a result of the work being carried on at this mine. Ths party included Mr. Frank J. Kearney, of Medina, N.Y.; Mr. R. W. Serivell, Niagara Falls, Ont.; (Mr. iChas. N. HAVDEN MINE VISITED BY PARTY OF SHAREROLOFRS Pochel, Mr. Wm. H. Hill, (Mr. Jas. M. Conovan, and Mr. W. H. MceDonald, of Niagara Falls, N.Y.;; and Mr. W. . Flynn, of Buffalo, N.Y. Accompanied by Mr. W. H. Hayden, who has been actively overseeing all the developments at the property, and after whom the mine is named, the party went out on Monday to see what progress was being made andâ€"to learn at ‘ffirst hand for themselves the outâ€" look for the property. The party reâ€" turned after a thorough tour and insâ€" pection of the property with the firm conviction that everything was going well indeed. s For some time past from 15 to 28 men have been steadily at work at the property. The work under progress is chiefly that of drifting east from the north 100â€"foot erosscut. The work of carrying out the plan of the deâ€" velopment work of driving the shaft down to the 400â€"foot level, cutting station, etc., will be commenced early next week. The results from the work done have been eminently satisfactâ€" ory. The party of shareholders were much impressed with all they saw and were more firmly convinced than beâ€" fore of the undoubted value of the Hayden. They are very confident that further development will justify their judgment to the greatest possible 2xâ€" tent. It is the intention of the manâ€" agement to drive work ahead with the greatest vigor on underground deâ€" velopment and work to prove up the property. It would not be surprising if the visit of these shareholders reâ€" sulted in plans for prosecuting the work on a much more extended sceale, for the party certainly were all well ;pleased with what they saw on their visit here. During their stay in town the party also visited the Hollinger mine and the operations there on such a magniâ€" ficent sceale greatly impressed all. The first Moccasin Dance of the season is announced at the Timmins Rink for next Monday evening, Jan. 16th. There will be a firstâ€"class orâ€" chestra to furish the musie for the oecasion and all attending will be sure of a good time. Last year and in previous years here moceasin dances were held here and proved very enâ€" joyable and successful. 11 o‘clock, the Mayor being duly sworn into E. Montgomeryv, Clerk Morin, L. 8. Newton, Kine, J; H Farmers Beaten on Their Own Ico © to 2 and 6 to 2 in N.O.H.A. Senior Serios. The Poreupine Hockey team has started its winning streak and is now away to a good start. In the two N. O.H.A. senior games last week the lo< cal hockey players won decided vicâ€" tories. In the game on Thursday evenâ€" ing last New Liskeard was beaten on their own ice with a score of 5 to 2 and the viectory was repeated on Saâ€" turday evening again by the Porâ€" cupine team, Liskeard meeting its seeâ€" ond defeat on home ice with a seore of 6 to 2. The Poreupine boys showed very much improved form and played good games, although the matches may not be recRoned as outstandinely good hoâ€" PORGUPINE WINGS TWO GAMES FROM HSKEARD ckey. However the matches were both very interesting and the Poreupine team showed a class that promises well for the balance of the season. A feature noted by many in regard to the two matcheg is the combination play shown by Poreupine players. By good team work the local boys made their work effective and the games swiftér than they would otherwise lave been. ‘On the other hand Lisâ€" keard seemed to be sadly lacking in this respect, there being too much inâ€" dividual play on the patt of the Farâ€" mers. The Porcupine team made a feature of the fiveâ€"man defense style of play and carried this plan successfully. In the main they let the other team come after them, making oceasional rushes that the Liskeard boys found about impossibleto stop. The attendance at the two games was not as large as might be expected, and at that a good part of the crowd was from Cobalt and Haileybury. Apâ€" parently, New â€" Liskeard recognizes that it has not the winning team that it felt it had in some other years. In both games Duke MeCurry is generally praised for his untiring and effective work. Cameron‘s poke check was made famous and he showed &0 advantage generally.. Patsy Parker was another effective worker, while Oscear Cox upheld his reputation as a very valuable part of the team. Frank MceGuire did good work in the two games, making them all sit up and take notice at times. Kelly and Brenâ€" nan were ‘hardworking and effective players, contributing their full part to the victories. In goal Seully did his part very thoroughly, and made a number of very brilliant saves. Each member of the team, indeed, did his part well, and the combination play and team work completed the sitnaâ€" tion that assured victory. as did also 8. P Robertson, but did enough. â€" _Charlie Timminsâ€"Seully, â€" goal; MeCurry and McGuire, defence; iParker, cenâ€" tre; Kelly, night; Cameron, left; Cox and Brennan, subs.; Koster, goal sub# New â€" Liskeardâ€"Elliott, goal; C.

For New Liskeard Burns played sub, with Robertson at centre. _ Frank McGuire started the scoring for Poreupine in Thursday‘s game with a clever shot. Just before the end of the period Hogg evened the score. MceCurry opened the scoring in the second period after a clever rush unassisted. Another for Porâ€" cupine came from fine combination work of €ox and MeGuire. Thompson got one for Liskeard, making / the score 3 to 2. In the third period cleâ€" ver team work by Parker and McCurâ€" ry resulted in another score and Caâ€" meron made still one more.

In Saturday‘s game, there was some roughness, fifteen penalties being givâ€" en out, ten of these to Liskeard and five of the ten to the captain of the Farmers‘ team. In this game Eiliot had a heap of work to do, and he did awell. The first score was by, Brennan \who lifted a dandy.

A meeting of the ratepayers of the Piblic School Section No. 1, Mountâ€" jor, is called for the school house, Mattagami, forâ€" Thursday evening, Jan. 26th. at 8 o‘clock to pass the neâ€" cessary byâ€"law for the authorizing of the issuing of debentures for the build ing of a new permanent school buildâ€" ing for Mattagami. All the ratepayâ€" ers are earnestly requested to attend this meeting, so that all may underâ€" stand the situation and further steps taken with the full coâ€"operation of all concerned. < Mattagami has now two temporary school buildings, but the accommodaâ€" tion is far from what is really requirâ€" ed. Atâ€"the present time there is an enrolment of 108, both schools being full and the classes being two large for the two teachers now engaged. In the spring it is expected that the atâ€" tendance will be still darger andf the situation thus even less satisfactory than at present. One Mattagami gentle man seemed to voice the general opiniâ€" on of the people of the district when he said, ‘*We simply must provide proper school accommodation for the children." y cwe TO BUILD 4â€"R00M BRIGK SCHOOL AT MATTMGAMI Those who have been carefully stuâ€" dying the‘ question favour a 4â€"room brick school something after the style of the new Moneta school. They would, also have two. more teachers, making a staff of four. The new school would be a permanent~ school boulding and would provide accommoâ€" dation for Mattagami for some time to come. The whole question, no doubt, will be thoroughly considered and discussâ€" ed at the meeting of the ratepayers in the school house, Mattagami, on Thursday, Jan. 26th. In the meanâ€" time the trustees, the Inspector and all others giving the matter attention and consideraion are agreed that some thing must be done at once to provide adequate accommodation. CONTRACT AWARDED FOR T. & N. 0. EXTENSION According to a wire received at noon today, Grant Smith, Calgary, has been awarded the contract for the construction of the extension of the T. & N. 0. Railway on the Tin Can. CARRUTH‘S PIPE BAND FEATURE OF MARKS CO. The Arlie Marks Stock \Company played here to big houses Monday and Tuesday and all attending were well pleased with the shows which were clean, wholesome, interesting and welly conducted. The plays given took well with the crowds an1 the specialties were very favourably received. The most attractive specialty is George Carruth‘s Pipe Band, worth alone more than the price of admission. The lady with the big drum and her clever work with the sticks delighted the crowds, while Piper Carruth and the other piper made a decided hit. There are seven, the two pipers and ifive laâ€" dies, in the Pipe Band, all in handâ€" some Highland costumes, and. their acts are all particularly good. The Highland dancing byâ€"two of the laâ€" dies was a special. In Lauder songs Geo. Carruth was good, his rendering of ‘‘I‘m in love with Jean ‘MeNie,"‘ being a masterpiece. ‘The shows were also featured by other attractive speâ€" cialties. Madame Leroy, the erystal gazer, was a big feature with her answers to questions, many, of the answers getting ~the crowds going. Some clever sleight of ‘hand work and tearing intricate designs from paper also amused the audience. another and later Cameron and Cox by team work did it again. In the second period Kelly and Brennan‘s team work won from a shot a‘bout 13 feet from the nets. Spence got one by Scully. A typical rush by [McGuire carried him past the Farmers, but he struck bard luck with his shot,. In the third period Cameron got a nice one, and Brennan did the same. A shot by Patsy after some nice comâ€" bination with Duke ended the scoring for the visitors, but Thompson later got the second score for the Farmers, the game ending 6 to 2. _ _Mr. Angus Campbell, Cobalt, reâ€" fereed the game, and disinterested spectators say his work was unnsually good and that he was fair all throughâ€" out and very watchfal.
