THURSDAY, MAY 20th, 1937 THE HALLEYBURIAN Two Steamers at 'Wharf on Monday Recall Old Times Once Busy Port Now Seldom Used; Railway and Motor Cars Spoil Lake Traffic When two small steamers of the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company tied up at the Hailey- bury wharf on Monday, local residents were again reminded of the great change that has taken place on Lake Temiskaming within a comparatively few years. The once busy port, at which seyeral passenger and freight carrying boats made daily calls, now very seldom hears the sound of a steam whistle, and only a few pleasure boats are used dur- ing the summer. The building of the branch line of the C.P.R. to Ville Marie and Angliers a few years ago, to- gether with the ever-increasing motor traffic, has been respon- sible for the disappearance of all the larger boats from the lake, except those used in the lumber- ing operations which only call occasionally at the upper ports. The two which were in on Monday came down from North Temiskaming, where they are used to tow booms of logs from the mouth of the river to Chiet's Island, where the large steamers pick them up. One of the boats. the "Seal," has been disabled and she was towed down by the "Wabis" for repairs. Only one of the big boats has} "been out this spring, the "Lady Minto," which went down on Fri- day with a boom. The other may be up later, but the timber busi- ness on Lake Temiskaming is apparently diminishing. The steam tug "Alert" was in at the Haileybury wharf on Wednesday last. She arrived just as the Coronation were concluded and the sound of her whistle acted as a sort ot climax to the firing of the Royal Salute which concluded the cele- bration.

TENNIS CLUB PLANS TO BUILD NEW COURTS ON MORE CONVENIENT SITE A proposal to build new courts in a more convenient location discussed at the annual meeting of the Haileybury Ten- nis Club, held in Hotel Hailey- bury on Thursday evening last. With this object in view, the members decided to hold a bridge party on June 11th for the pur- pose of raising money for a start on the project. Several sites were considered, and it was felt that one on Rorke Avenue, where there is some nice yacant ground. would be the most suitable if it can be secured. A meeting of the newly formed executive commit- tee will consider the proposal fur- ther at an early date. J. S. Valentine was re-elected president of the club, with Arnie Belanger as vice-president anf Miss Amy Heftbert, secretary- treasurer, Misses Shirley Liddi- cot and A. Adair, with Chas. Rose| are the other members of the ex- ecutive.

C. H. Liddicot got the big trout in Anima Nipis- sing Lake, a favorite spot for that kind of game fish, while the pickerel was caught right in Lake Temiskaming by one of the Lyttle boys, formerly of Hailey- bury, who now live in the town- ship near the Dicksor Creek mine. He was fishing off the wharf at the oil tanks, near Moore's Cove, and Douglas A. Mutch is authority for the weight. Mr. Mutch got a couple of smaller pickerel himself at the same place and says that there are quite a few being caught there. He believes the restock- ing of the lake in recent years is beginning to have results. Several other parties the Mattawapika and_ report some success, but nothing so large as the two mentioned. = Cobalt Made Nice Profit On Coronation Celebration Cobalt's Coronation celebration which included a big ball and games in the evening, returneda nice profit to the municipal au- thorities, according to a state- ment presented to the town coun- cil there on Monday night. Ap- proximately $300 was left atter all expenses had been met and the council decided to contribute $50 each to the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Municipal Hospi- tal and the Kiwanis Club, to re- fund one-half of the town's con- tribution of $150, with a refund of $50 to the Township of Cole- man. Of the remainder it' was decided to give $13 to the Tem- agami Boy Pipers to assist in the purchase of uniforms. visited Blaze in Woodpile Brings Call to Fire Brigade The local fire brigade answer- el a call to a blaze in a woodpile near the rear of the Myles block at noon on Friday. Mr. Myles saw the fire from his window and it had a fair start before the men arrived, but the damage was slight. It was thought that boys Variety in Cases At Police Court Here on Friday Hit-and-Run Motorist Is Fined; Liquor Charge Adjourned; One Heavy Sentence There was considerable variety to the police court docket which faced Magistrate Atkinson here on Friday afternoon, the charges running all the way from one of selling liquor in Matachewan to obstructing a police officer in the course of his duty in Haileybury, with the hearing of a Count against a North Temiskaming man of being a "hit-and-run' motorist, and an attempted sui- cide charge against a woman resident of one of the mining camps thrown in for good mea- sure. The liquor charge was laid against Jeannette Goyette of the mining district, and it was ad- journed a week on request of Crown Attorney J. B. Robinson. while the principal in the attemp- ted suicide case was bound over for two years when she told His Worship that she had now no in- tention of repeating it. All she needed was a job, it was intimat- ed. Octave Bousejour was assessed $50 and costs on the hit-and-run charge when the particulars were given by Provincial Constable W. Byrne. B. Luscumb and G. Pal- mer, accused by Chief of Police MacGirr on the drunk and_ob- struction charges, were convicted and fined, the former receiving the heaviest sentence of the ses- sion when he was given $50 and costs or 30 days for the obstruc- tion. plus $10 and costs or 30 days on the drunk charge. Palmer's fine was $10 on the drunk charge, the other being withdrawn in his case. The chief had been called to the Mataban- ick Hotel on the night of May 8 he told the court, and had been} in the act of taking Palmer to the lockup when Luscumb pulled him away and' told Palmer to "run for it." Both had later been placed under arrest, and the charges laid. FORMER CHOIR BOY OF ST.

Childs was so badly injured when he was struck by a passing motor car on Monday morning that several "Good Samaritans" who were close by at the time had him put out of his misery by the use of chloroform.

Reed of provincial police headquarters, stating that the dog ran out so quickly that he might have been responsible. could not avoid hitting him.
