The name of the com- pany is Manobec Prospectors Limited, it has a Dominion char- ter and is capitalized at ten thou- sand shares of no par value. Un- der the terms of incorporation, each unit held by members of the Syndicate will be exchanged for ten shares in the company, 4,000 shares having been allotted for this purpose, and present share- holders will be given an oppor- tunity to subscribe for further stock on easy terms.. A meeting of the shareholders will be called in the near future for the elec- tion of diectors, etc. In a report to the members of Manobec Syndicate, recently is- sued by Mr. Thompson, the ac- tivities during the period from March 16th, 1929, to April 22nd, 1930, are covered. Properties were staked in the Obonga Lake area, Port Arthur Mining Divi- sion, the Muriel Lake area, north of Tashota, in the Bear Lake area, Sudbury district, and in the Island Lake section of Manitoba. In several cases promising finds were made and some of the pro- perties have been turned over to other organizations for further development, while others are being retained and will be further prospected during the coming summer. During the period under review the Syndicate made some nice profits in stock deals and in the sale of properties. Money in- vested in Noranda, Crow River and other stocks, which were sold at a profit. Among the as- sets of the new company is a list of stocks in some very promising properties, as well as some that have been proved valuable. Units in several syndicates are also in- cluded and a 10 per cent. interest in the Walker Lease, Cripple Creek, Colorado, is considered a valuable asset. The company has no liabilities and has considerable prospecting equipment on hand. Mr. Thompson states that the activities of the company will be confined to prospecting for the present at least. In his opinion there is considerable territory that is not too far from transpor- tation that warrants more careful going Over than it has ever had in the past. He believes that there are better prospects in this ground than there are in the more faraway fields, where the diffi- properties. ee CONSERVATIVE WOMEN WILL ORGANIZE FOR ELECTION CAMPAIGN The first definite step in prep- aration for the general election, which it is generally understood will take place this year, is being taken in this section by the Con- servative women. A number of the ladies have already sized up the situation, talked over the questions of the day and are pre- paring to organize the Temiska- ming Conservative Women's As- sociation. For this purpose a meeting has been called for Tues- day, May 6th, in Hotel Hailey- bury, when it is planned to com- plete the organization and map out a plan of campaign. Notices are being posted up this week, calling on all Conservative ladies of the district to attend the meet- ing and lend their assistance. In past elections the women have not been organized separ- ately, but it is felt by many of them that a separate organiza- tion will be more satisfactory. There are many of them that are enthusiastic politicians and will do good work for the party. There might even be a woman candidate when the time comes. Heads World Alliance Rey. Geo.

FREE-- Six Hundred Books to Start Public Library -- | . |Board is Elected and Project is Now Assured; Expect an Early Opening A public library for Haileybury is now assured and it is expected that within a short time there will be books available for distri- bution. The first steps in the or- ganization of an Association Li- brary have been made and last week the Library Board was elected. The President His: Honor Judgé Hayward, who was president of the former Library Board; Mr. R. H. Unwin is secre- tary and Mr. A. G. Kirkpatrick is treasurer. The other members of the Board are Mr. W. H. Tuke, Mr. N. Morrissette, Rev. D. A. MacKeracher, Mrs. J. C. Hous- ton, Mrs. J. A. Legris and Mrs. ebayer This Board is now engaged in making the necessary arrange- ments, and we understand that upwards of 600 volumes have al- ready been donated to the Libra- ry. There are many citizens who have books which have been read and which now stand on the shelves idle. Everyone should make an effort to help the new library by making a gift of such books. There are many also who would prefer to make money do- nations for the purchase of books. Under the Libraries Act, any town in Ontario is empowered to make a levy on the ratepayers for the purpose of providing a free public library. It was felt by the citizens who have under- taken the project that the finan- ces of the town at present would not allow the council to make the levy, but rather than wait until times change in this regar ', they decided to form a library associa- tion, which is backed by the Ro- tary Club, the organization that was largely responsible for start- ing the aie during the winter months.. ee Ne / The scheme involves as ergs deal of work, selecting and ordering books, classifying, indexing, etc., etc. All this is being done voluntarily for the benefit of the people of the town. Every citizen should back up the Library Board and render is Sai i 're in securing funds, Hort. Premiums Now | Being Distributed; Perennial Roots Given With a Membership Ticket Should Be Called For _Members of the Haileybury Horticultural Society and those who intend to become members are hereby notified that the pre- miums to be given with the mem- bership tickets this year have been received and are now ready for distribution at the office of the secretary, Mr. H. Clifford, town clerk. The premiums con- sist of a root each of the delphin- ium and perennial phlox and are| fine healthy plants, all ready for planting. The sooner they are distributed and taken care of the better, as they will have a ten- dency to dry out if they are left too long in the packing and will take longer to root. The fine weather this week has brought out the amateur garden- ers in large numbers and the planting season is close upon us. Back yards are being cleaned up, the old grass and rubbish is be- ing burned in the evenings, and the town in general is taking on an appearance of spring. Some growth of the grass is evident and very shortly the gardens will be started. It is easy to become a member of the Horticultural Society. The fee is only one dollar and_ the premiums given with each ticket are worth at least half that a- mount. A great deal of good can be done by planting a few extra flowers, the town will become more beautiful and the individual gardeners will reap the benefit in increased enjoyment of their homes and a greater pride in their town. The executive of the Society is now selling tickets. They should meet with success wherever they call and the mem- bership should be swelled to large proportions. ie tanéé in every way. possible. The secretary will be glad to hear of any donation of any kind that will help along the work. Further details of the plans will be available after the next meeting of the Library Board. The question of a measure of daylight saving for this summer was up for discussion at the lun- cheon of the Rotary Club on expressed, both in favor of the proposal and against it. It was stated that in both Cobalt and had inaugurated the movement, and that petitions were being cir- culated in both places asking the town councils to put it into force.

This was taken to mean that the gov- ernment has in mind extending the benefits of Hydro to the mun- icipalities and mines in Temiska- ming and Cochrane districts on the same basis as that of Sudbury The Cobalt council, at its meet- ing on Monday night, decided to invite the other municipalities and the mining companies to meet with them at Englehart on May 15th to discuss the whole question. There the matter rests for the present. Practically all the municipali- ties in Temiskaming have grant- ed franchises to the Canada Nor- thern Power Corporation and in Jall cases these have some years to run. Whether there is any prospect of a change being made would appear to rest largely with the government and the Hydro- Electric Commission. Figures quoted freely in the press are to the effect that the present rates for power are more than twice the amount which the hydro ser- vice will cost the Sudbury dist- rict when the new development is completed and available from the Abitibi: If Sudbury is to receive the benefit of cheaper power, it seems as though the same privi- leges should he granted the other 'mining districts. kis; n the River and distribute it to the} re- Sudbury mining district at $22 per horse power, brought about a ECLIPSE OF SUN WAS PLAINLY VISIBLE ON MONDAY AFTERNOON Residents of Haileybury had a very good view of the partial eclipse of the sun on Monday af- ternoon. The day was clear and at around 2 p.m. it was quite vis- ible, as the shadow encroached on the western side of the orb near the bottom and _ gradually ascended towards the top. A de- cided darkening of the sun's rays was noticeable during the period when the shadow was at its greatest extent, that there were very few who had read of the approaching eclipse that fail- ed to have a look. Smoked glass, colored goggles, pinholes in a piece of card and other devices were used to enable people to view the phenomenon, the first to be visible here for some years. so May Be Poet Laureate | The Week's Weather , Thursday, 24th Das see ai diy -- See 39 Saturday, 26th -- 54 Sunday, 27th 47 Monday, 28th ~----- 52 Tuesday, 29th --=-=2-63 Wednesday, 30th --- 54 Precipitation-- April 24th April 30th--.36 of 1 inch.
