Many of those in the party which consists of about 75 men, are seeing the North for the first time and are finding the experi- ence both interesting and valu- able. The party, travelling in about 20 motor cars, left yesterday morning, coming to Haileybury and New Liskeard, 60 stopping at Hotel Haileybury and the balance at New Liskeard for lunch. In the afternoon they had a trip through the adjacent farm- ing section, including the Demon- stration Farm at New Liskeard, and assembled at the Beach for dinner as guests of the New Lis- keard Board of Trade in the ev- ening.

'Town Office Has Been Moved Into Clutchey Block Building Remodelled and Made Suitable for Purpose This Summer The municipal offices which for several years past have been lo- cated in the Legris building on Ferguson Avenue, have been moved this week into the Clutch- ey Block, south of Main Street. The building was taken over from Mr. Clutchey earlier in the year, with the object of making the town's headquarters there, and the lower floor has been re- modelled, a vault built in and the structure generally put into good shape. The upper floor of the two storey building remains as a suite of rooms and will be rented. The building required consider- able improvement before it could be used for the town's offices. It had originally been built as a combined store and residence and for some years Mr. Clutchey kept his electrical supplies there.

Phone 58 HAILEYBURY 'Latest Returns Give W. Gordon 1600 Majority Returns Almost Complete Show Big Lead; Teck, Capreol, Lang's Strongest With the returns for Temiska- ming South almost complete, a majority of about 1600 for W. A. Gordon, K.C., Conservative M.P.- Elect, is indicated. With the ex- ception of three small polls which had not been officially reported, a tabulation was made of the re- sult on Tuesday afternoon, show- ing a total majority in the Con- servative column of 1603. This will not be materially affected by the addition of the outlying polls. In this immediate district the vote was heavy for Mr. Gordon. In New Liskeard he got a ma- jority of 275, in Haileybury 116, in Bucke Township 168 and in Coleman 131.. The town of Co- balt' gave Mac. Lang a majority of 13. The strongest places for the Liberal candidate were the Township of Teck, which includes Kirkland Lake and Swastika, and the town of Capreol and its sur- rounding territory. In _ Teck, Lang had a majority of 193, in the town of Caperol he was up 117 and in the township 96. Other points which voted Liberal in- cluded Blezard, with 22 majority, Hanmer, with 58, Silver Centre, 34, Earlton, 24, and Casey, 12. Jn almost all of the other polls Gor- don-had a majority. The town of Englehart gave him 283, Elk Lake 67, Skead 73 and the Fal- conbridge mine 36. At Gold- thorpe there were 15 votes re- ported, all of which were cast for Mr. Gordon, and in Kenogami the count was 19-1 in his favor. In Crown City and Matachewan the vote was tied, 10-10 and 4-4 respectively. The figures so far available would indicate that there was an exceptionally large vote polled throughout the riding, larger (than in either of the contests in |1925 and 1926. 4 ------------ | | Convicted of Perjury | Gets Three Month Term | John Brown, of New Liskeard, was convicted on a charge of |perjury in police court on Tues- jday and sentenced to three months in jail by Magistrate At- |kinson. It was charged that he jhad made a false affidavit in se- |curing a license to marry a Hail- |eybury girl, giving her age as 18, when in reality she is only 15. Her parents took action in the matter following the ceremony. R.C.M.P. Constable Takes Charge Here Temporarily --. Constable Nelson, of the R.C. M.P., arrived in Haileybury last week-end to take charge of the local office which has been vacant since the departure early this month of Constable Delaney. Constable Nelson is here only temporarily, so far as he knows at present, but may be stationed here permanently later on. He comes from Windsor, where he has served for some years in the famous force. | The Week's Weather | en How Haileybury People Voted in Federal Contest Increase in Number of Votes Cast and Returns Came In at Early Hour A list of the polls with the votes cast at each is given below. It will be recalled that in 1926, when Mac. Lang was elected over Col. E. F. Armstrong, Hail- eybury gave a majority for the former of 122. This time, with two local men in the running, this was reversed and apparent- ly the vote was cast pretty well along party lines. Poll Gordon Lang Oranges Halls 22. 142 Can.

A strong effort was made by both parties to make sure that every- body had the opportunity of ex- ercising their franchise atfd there were plenty of cars to take peo- ple out. A heavy rain in the af- ternoon did not interfere serious- ly with the work, as there was a ,spell of sunshine later and the |streets dried up before the polls | closed. There was little delay in get- ting the results out and within an hour of the closing time both committee rooms had the figures for the local polls. Shortly af- ter returns began coming in from outside points and at a joint meeting in the K. of C. Hall, messages were received up to midnight. There was a. large crowd for the first part of the evening, but this gradually dwin- djedsaad only a few stayed for Bias : the finish. ----_-_---_ Dril! Beanland Claims in Temagami Forest Reserve A program of diamond drilling has been commenced on_ the Beanland property in the Tema- gami Forest Reserve, southwest of Goward, on the T. & N. O. Mr. Beanland holds a large acre- age in that section, where some discoveries have been made and where there was considerable de- velopment done at one time on what was known as the Drum- mond Mine. Smith & Travers, Sudbury contractors, are doing the drilling and have a machine in operation now.

Bennett. W. A. Gordon, Turns Liberal Majority Substantial Conserva of New G Turning a Liberal majority of around nine hundred, piled up in the election of 1926, into a decis- ive win for the Conservatives, W. bury's old resident and a promi- nent lawyer in the North Country for over 20 years, was elected to parliament on Monday and will represent Temiskaming South in the new government to be form- Vic- tory came to Mr. Gordon after a strenuous campaign, in the course of which three Cabinet Ministers of the King Government visited the riding in the interests of Col. Mac. Lang, Liberal candidate and member in the last House. There was particular interest in the fight in Haileybury, as both candidates are local men and well known throughout the district. With plenty of speak- ers, there were meetings held in all points in the constituency, which extends over a wide area, taking in Kirkland Lake on the north, Tomiko on the south, Che- minis on the east and Capreol on the west. At almost all polls there were substantial majorities for the Conservative candidate. Cobalt and Kirkland Lake each gave small majorities for the Liberal standard bearer, while Haileybury, New Liskeard, En- glehart and most of the other towns lined up in the Conserva- tive column. While the campaign was warm from the beginning to the last day, there was little bitterness and no personalities. All the questions of the day were discus- sed without rancor and the issues |placed fairly before the electors. The result of the vote was deci- sive and the newly elected mem- ber can go to Ottawa with the feeling that he has the confidence of the people of Temiskaming South. That the district will be well A. Gordon, K.C., one of Hailey-; K.C. is New South Temiskaming M. P. of Nine Hundred Into a tive Win; Supporter overnment represented goes without saying. 'Mr. Gordon is so well known that anything that may be written or said will only be a repetition of what the constituency has shown by the vote. In his election speeches he made only one pro- mise, to devote his time whole- heartedly to the interests of the people of the North Country, and no one has any doubt that this promise will be carried out. Youth Drowned at High Falls on Blanche River Swept! Away he aswikte Curent Below Falls; Body Found the Next Day Walter Groom, aged 20 years, was drowned in the Blanche River, below High Falls, near Englehart on Sunday afternoon, when he got beyond his depth while in bathing and was swept away by the swift current. With two companions, the youth, who lived with his father and two brothers on a farm at Brentha, about six miles from Englehart, had gone swimming during the heat of the afternoon, when the fatality happened. There was apaprently no chance to save him as he disappeared quickly in the stream, which flows very fast at that point. The body was recovered on Monday and the coroner notified, but the circumstances were so clearly accidental that no inquest was held. The funeral of the un- fortunate youth was held on Tuesday at Englehart. 2 3 ae September 11th, 12th and 13th are the dates of the New Lis- keard Agricultural Society's fall fair this year.
