Gordon, senior lieutenarit ot the new Forestry draft, which is urâ€" gently in need of recruits, is staying in Timmins for a few weeks in an effort to secure recruits here. The kind of men preferred for this draft are bushmen, teamsters, sawyers, setâ€" ters, ete., and also mechanies, enginâ€" eers and officemen. The lowest seale of pay will be $2.50 a day, and every man will have a chancee for promotâ€" ion. As Lieut. Gordon points out, this is a good opportunity for nearly every man to do his bit for his King and Country. "*If you cannot fight with a rifle in the trenches," says Lieut. Gordon, ‘‘you can fight effectâ€" ively in the f‘nrests of England and Franee with an axe.‘ The ]hl\sll.‘dl standard of the Forâ€" estry draft is not as high as requxreol for the infantry, and men in this unit will not have to do any rifle dril or infantry drill, unless it may be t« ‘‘*shoulder axes!" : Lieut. Gordon says that men ar more urgently needed for the forestr‘ work than even for the infantry, there will be just as much honor an: glory for the men who enlist for thi service as for those joining infant: battalions. Men who enlist in t! Foresitry Draft wiii be allowed t Lieut. Gordon at Goldfields Hotel Anxious to Meet Men to Serve King and Country The Mayor ealled attention to the menace created by the many shacks now â€" hbehind the business huildings. Many of these shacks were useless and all were a fire danger.. Council suggested that the Town solicitor be consulted with a view to securing power to foree their removal. The question of allowing brick venâ€" eer in the town fire liumits was then vyoted on, Councillorsg Brazeau, Moore and Williams voting in favor,. and Councillors CHlobe, MelInnis and Pieree to the Mayor who decided in favor of allowing brick veneer structures. Councillor â€" Brazeau _ pointed _ out that plaster, especially on metal lath, was better than brick veneer, and he gave an iBlustration from the fire at Cochrane to prove this. By acceptâ€" ing the cement plaster amendment it \\nu]d mean â€" that many _ bhuildings would be improved and made more fireproof, that would otherwise hbe left as they are. The vote being takâ€" en on the plaster, Councillors Meâ€" Innis and Pieree woere the only ones to vote against it. built a solid brick building, and now only regretted that the cost had made him stop short of putting in concrete floors. He had offered the underâ€" writers to put in a sprinkling system but the insurance people had said his rate could not be further reduced n account of the neighboring buildâ€" ings not being equally fire proof. Coun. Williams said it was a case ‘‘not of what we want but what we can get.‘‘ He thought it better to have a comparatively lenient byâ€"law and live right up to it than a strong byâ€"law always being broken. He did not think it well for the Council to a¢t as if it was dictating to business men about what their business should be in regard to the Camp though perâ€" sonally he had every faith in the lengâ€"continued Tife of the town. Dr. Melnnis said that it was ackâ€" powledged by all that the life of the Camp would be at least 20 or 30 years, so permanent buildings were justified. Also they were necessary for the safeâ€" ty of life and property. No reduetâ€" jous in rates could be hoped for outâ€" side of a stringent byâ€"law, as the unâ€" derwriters insisted on brick or stone structure for the lower rates.. He suggested three fire zones, with varyâ€" ing degrees of restrictions, and reâ€" peated his opinion that if there were not business enough to warrant perâ€" manent buildings no further building could be desirable. Councillor GHobe was strongâ€" for fireâ€"proof buildings in the centre of the town. Dr. Moore thought the town‘s fire risk was more from outside than inâ€" side.

Peters, who represeated County Masâ€" ter Wor. 8. G. MceCoubrey at Grand Lodge at Stratford. DBro. Morton submitted a report which, amongst cher interesting features, contained the very gratifying news that Grand Lodge had voted $1000,00 to the five burned out lodges, the victims of the vreat fire of July last. These lodges are _ Cochrane, Porquois Junction, Matheson,. Gold Lands and Iroquois Falls. _ This grant of $1000.00 will materially assist towards pultting the lodges on the footing simular to that they had previous to the fire, alâ€" though in one or two cases it will fall far short of that, notably in the case of Porquoris Junetion, who had just completed their new Hall at a cost of material alone of $800.00, the memâ€" bers themselves having put in the time and labor erecting same. l'luwvver the spirit shown by the Delegates of (GGirand Lodge was fully appreciated by Canada No. 2623 and Past District Master Shelpe of Englehart also at this meeting handâ€" ed in lhuis certificate. ‘Worshipful Master MeCoubrey askâ€" ed the Lodge to give a standing vote of thanks to Past Counrty Master Geo.
