THE HAILEYBURIAN Vol. 26, No.9 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 5th, 1930 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per yeat Colonel Malcolm Lang is Unanimous Liberal Choice No Other Names Mentioned-at Convention on Saturday When Party Prepares for Contest; Delegates Express Confi- dence; Want Senator From North Colonel Mac. Lang, of Hailey- bury, who has represented this riding in the Federal parliament since 1926, was again nominated to carry the Liberal banner in the coming contest, when the party convention was held at New Liskeard on Saturday af- ternoon. No other names were mentioned at the convention and there had been no talk of any other candidate since the election was announced. The motion appointing Colonel Lang as the official party candi- date was made by Henry O'Grady of New Liskeard, and_ seconded by N. C. Leblance, of Cobalt. Col. Lang was not present when his name went before the con- vention, having been detained in Ottawa on Friday night at the closing of the session. He arriv- ed shortly after, however, ac- companied by Hon. Petet Heen- an, Minister of Labor, and Jos. A. Bradette, the member for Temis- kaming North, who, with Hon. Nelson Parliament, Liberal or- ganizer for Ontario, were the chief speakers at the convention. Mr. H. G. Pickard, of Haileybury president of the Liberal Associa- tion of Temiskaming South, pre- sided over the meeting. Two motions were adopted at the convention by unanimous vote. The first, moved by A. D. Campbell, Gowganda, and second- ed by A. F. McDonald, Charlton, voiced appreciation of Col. Lang's work, expressed confidence in the administration of Prime Minister Mackenzie King and endorsed his policy, as expressed by the Dun- ning Budget. The other, spon- sored by Mr. O'Grady and W. A. Taylor, New Liskeard, urged re- presentaion in the Senate of Can- ada for Northern Ontario, whose 200,000 people were "justly en- titled" to a member in that body, the motion stated. Copies of this motion were to be sent to the Prime Minister, Col. Lang and Hon. Mr. Heenan, and also to all other Liberal conventions in Nor- thern Ontario, who are to be ask- ed to adopt similar motions. Mr. Bradette, in a passing reference to this motion, declared he favor- ed it, declared they had been working on it at Ottawa and that the principals had been establish- ed and recognized by Mr. King. But for the appointment of the first woman to the Senate, Mr. Bradette said, the North would have been recognized. paniiieteg oo Machinery For Coming Election Already at Work Proclamations Are Out and the Enumerators Appointed; No Revision by Judges Following closely on the disso- lution of parliament and the an- nouncement of the coming elec- tions on July 28th, Colonel H. E. McKee, returning officer for South Temiskaming, has started the election machinery to work. On Monday he issued his procla- mations and this week enumera- tors are being named and will be busy immediately on the new vo- ters' lists. There will be over 100 enumerators on the job, and, according to Col. McKee, every effort is to be made to have the names of all qualified voters in- cluded in the new lists. The pro- clamations call for the official nomination to be held on July 14th at the court house here, from 12 noon until 2 p.m. Col. McKee states that all polls in the riding will be classed as ru- ral polls, that there will be no re- vision of the lists after they are compiled by the enumerators and that every voter who can show that he is qualified on election day will be given a ballot, whe- ther he is on the list or not. The customary oath will be necessary however, for those whose names do not appear. The Returning Officer states that so far as is humanly possible, no one will be overlooked when the lists are be- ing made up. The enumerators will commence work immediately and will be required to turn in their first lists on June 14th. Want Ads. Bring Results Rumm age Sale!

Two accidents in connection with the spring drives now under way in different parts of the district, and involving three men drowned in two rivers, were reported to Inspector W. T. Moore, at pro- vincial police district headquart- ers over the week-end. The victims were Uuno Ultrai- ninen, Finnish by birth, who lost his life in the Grassy River, 35 miles southwest of Timmins, and Emile Laurin and Godfrey Vail- lancourt, half-brothers, swept a- way by the Montreal River when the pointer in which they had been shooting a rapids was upset after striking a rock. These young men came from Mashan Mills, P.Q. Uuno Ultraininen, 32 years of age, had been in Canada for the past four years,and he had been working for the Hawk Lake Lumber Co. for 16 days when he was drowned. Constable Hart- lieb, stationed at Timmins, made enquiry, and learned that Ultrai- ninen apparently had been cross- ing the Grassy River, at a point 400 feet above a rapids with a sharp fall, in a canoe maintained for that purpose, and apparently had been swept down the river and over the falls. At the point where*the crossing usually is made the river is stated to be quite calm. Ultraininen was a- lone at the time. ; Three men, fellow-workers on the drive, saw the canoe go over the rapids unoccupied, and the craft was smashed in the turbu- lent water. The time then was about six o'clock in the evening, and the last seen of. Ultraininen was two hours before. 'It is pre- sumed that he was thrown out of the canoe and drowned. No trace has been found of the body, which would be swept down the swollen stream, but Frank Bou- nder, manager of the company, states that his men will be en- gaged on the drive for some time yet and a watch will be kept for the remains. A brother of the victim lives at Monteith. Inspector Moore learned on Monday from eye-witnesses of the double tragedy in the Mont- real River last Friday, meagre details of which were, contained in a message from Silver Centre the following day. Eight men were in a new pointer which was shooting Bronson's Rapids, eight miles from the mouth of the river and above Lower Notch, when the boat struck a rock, was swept by the current broadside on to the stream and capsized. All its occupants were thrown into the water, and six of them managed to reach the boat again, but Vail- For Dynamiting '- Kirkland House Stanley Maldovan Convicted of Outrage; Other Cases at District Court Stanley Maldovan, the Kirk- land Lake man charged with ex- ploding a quantity of dynamite under the house of a neighbor with whom he was said to have had some trouble, was found guilty of the offence by a jury at the District Court here yesterday and sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary. The presenta- tion of evidence occupied the greater part of the day, the case going to the jury in the afternoon When the court opened in the morning, Charles Chow, charged with assault, was not present and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. It is said that he has gone to the United States. The charge against Mrs. Ter- essa Brazonia, of Kirkland Lake, is being heard today, a jury hav- ing been empanelled yesterday evening. This is the last crimin- al case to be heard. The District Court, which op- ened on Tuesday in the court house here with His Honor Judge Hartman presiding, is still in ses- sion, but it is expected that the sittings will be concluded today or early tomotrow. Three civil cases which were listed have been given special dates for hearing and the court proceeded with the criminal cases. True bills were returned by the Grand Jury in the case of Charles Chow, charged with assault, and Stanley Maldoyan, who faced a charge of wilful damage follow- ing the dynamiting of a house at Kirkland Lake. Of the other two criminal cases Norman Bell, of North Cobalt, elected for speedy trial before His Honor and the date was set for June 18th, and the charge a- gainst W. B. Nicholson has been traversed to a later sitting, as one of the Crown witnesses was re- ported ill. John MacArthur Jr. left on Saturday for Buchans, Newfound- land, where he will again be with the Swedish American Prospect- ing Company for the summer. He expected to reach the Ancient Colony on Tuesday evening and proceed inland to the scene of operations. lancourt and Laurin were too far away and could not gain the up- turned craft. They were observed to be swim- ming for a time, one of their companions said, but were quick- ly carried downstream in the foaming water of the rapids and were not seen again. The river is fairly high, it was stated, and the men were weighted down with their heavy clothing and boots. Seven Year Term |W. A. Gordon K. C. Chosen as Conservative Candidate Large Gathering Yesterday Unanimous in Choice of Haileybury Barrister; Captain Tom Magladery to Handle Campaign Muskoka M.P. Speaks at Convention At a convention which packed the Masonic Hall at Engelhart yesterday afternoon, W. A. Gor- don, K.C., prominent Haileybury} lawyer, was unanimously chosen to carry the Conservative banner in the forthcoming election against Col. Mac. Lang, also of Haileybury, who was chosen by the Liberal party in convention at New Liskeard on Saturday. There were six other names submitted to the convention yes- terday, all of whom withdrew in Mr. Gordon's favor. It had been generally understood previous to the gathering that he would have no opposition. Captain Thos. Magladery, of New Liskeard, for- mer M.P.P., whose name had also been prominently mentioned, will be campaign manager for Mr. Gordon, according to announce- ment made by the latter at the close of the convention. The other names placed in nomination were Captain Magla- dery, Geo. T. Smith, Mayor Hom- er Sutcliffe, of New Liskeard, Reeve Norman Evoy, of Teck, Dr. E. F. Armstrong, of Cobalt, a former M.P., and Mrs. Geo. Mit- chell, of Cobalt. All the nominess were called on to address the convention by Mr. R. D. Cumming, who presided in the absence of Mr. H. D. Bradley, president of the District Associa- tion, who is in hospital recovering from an operation for appendici- tis. In withdrawing from the run- ning, Mrs. Mitchell, who is presi- dent of the recently formed Wo- men's Conservative Association, foresaw both North and South Temiskaming and Nipissing in the Conservative ranks when the contest is over, while Dr. Arm- strong contented himself with a few words of thanks for the sup- port accorded him in previous contests. Captain Magladery criticised to some extent the representation given the constituency by Colonel Lang, compared the present ga- thering with that of the Liberals on Saturday last to the detriment of the latter and spoke of a re- cent vote of $15,000 for a public building in New Liskeard as something that had 'not been ask- ed for and would not be very gratefully received. In accepting the nomination, Mr. Gordon spoke of his hope that the efforts of the Ferguson government to open up the North would be supplemented by con- tributions from the Federal trea- sury at Ottawa by a Conserva- tive administration. Im 'the course of his speech he referred to the question of unemployment, which he declared was largely due to the government's policy of unrestricted immigration and The stage is set and Canada is prepared for a General Election. Liberal and Conservat ive Chieftains Prepared for Election Premier Mackenzie King and Hon. R. B. Bennett, Leader of the Opposition, agreed to permit the dissolution of parliament last week, and the date set for the election is July 28t the Imperial Economic Conference in London next Fall. W. L.

Hon. cited Mr. King's now famous "five cent speech" as an example of "pure coercion and bribery." He gave the delegates present a clear idea of his intentions, if he were elected, stating that he would be sure he was making good before he would try to hang on indefinitely to the job. Mr. Gordon made a telling address and at its close he was made the unanimous choice of the conven- tion on motion of J. W. Brown, New Liskeard, and Jos. Sheedy, Casey Township. Other speakers included A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., for South Coch- rane, who stated that there would be a majority in Kirkland) Lake for My Gordon equal to that giv- en himself in the provincial elec- tion. Dr. Peter McGibbon, of Brace- bridge, member for Muskoka, was the final speaker of the day. He criticised the financial record of the government and dwelt at some length on the Dunning bud- get, which he declared was "half hypocricy and half grand lar- ceny." The Conservative party, he said, stood for a policy of pro- tection for all classes alike, a Canadian policy, made by Cana- dians for Canada. The meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem, after cheers for Hon. R. B. Ben- nett, Mr .Gordon and the Con- servative Party. aos Aes tw Louis H. Timmins Dies at Montreal Once Lived Here Was Identified With Mining in Cobalt Camp; Part Owner of the LaRose The older residents of Hailey- bury learned with regret of the death of Louis Henry Timmins, a former resident here and for many years closely identified with the mining development of the Cobalt camp, which took place at his home in Montreal, on Sunday, June Ist. He was 70 years of age and had been ill for several months. Mr. Timmins was born in Mattawa, a son of the late Noah Timmins, and with his brother, Noah Junior, was interested in mining when Cobalt was first discovered in 1903. They bought the LaRose mine which was op- erated under their direction for some years and later became in- terested in the Porcupine dist- rict. With their associates in the LaRose, they bought the proper- ties which became the Hollinger Mine, in which Noah Timmins is still a large shareholder. Mr. Timmins is survived by his widow, two sons and two daugh- ters, and by his brother, Noah, and a sister, Mrs. B. Fitzpatrick, of El Paso, Texas. ------ SUFFERS BROKEN ARM THROUGH FALL AT HOME Mrs. J.-H.
