TRHURSOAY‘S TOTAL WAS OVR $1400 Town Richer by $500. Province Gets $750 for Liquor Cases. Thursday was a busy day for the. money end of the police court. Inâ€" spector Morrison ‘had Frank Seullino, of Moneta, on three separate charges of breach of the liquor law. . The acâ€" cused pleaded guilty, and Magistrate Atkinson fined him $250 and costs on each count, or $801.25 in all, or one year in jail. The bringing of a witness from Montreal ran up the costs in this case. The fine was paid. The town police charged M. Evenoff with selling and A. Abramoff with having liquor illegally. _ Magistrate Atkinson fined the former $300 and the latter $200 and costs. These fines were also paid. A third charge is beâ€" ing laid for this week against Camâ€" beroff., the owner of the building ocâ€" cupied by the two others, the claim being that he was in partnership on the deal. Word has been received in the Norâ€" th Land from Duncan Sutherland now in hospital in England, but formerly a wellâ€"known printer in the early days of the Poreupine. At the battle front where he was hurt, he says the ground s * churned to porridge,‘‘ and there was no protection, with more shelling than usual. He got some shrapnel through his left arm just below the shoulder, some more throucrh the back of the neck, and still more on the back of his right hand. He is recovering nicely and has good words for the kindness of the hospital nurses and staff. How much is an indispensable man worth? The Toronto Star tells of one firm applying for exemption for an employvee on the ground that he was ‘‘indispensable"‘ to their busiâ€" ness, yvet it was discovered they only paid him $70 per month. ‘‘If he is only worth $70 per month he is not very indispensable,""‘ said the Tribuâ€" nal, ‘‘Pay him $150 per month, or he will get no exemption.‘‘ The firm decided to pay the $150. It is interâ€" esting in this connection to note that there were very few employers in this Camp applying for exemption â€" for their men, so, perhaps, only a few are indispensible. Chief Roy ofâ€" South Poreupine, brought in an Austrian for being drunk. <‘$20 and ecosts,""‘ said the Magistrate. J. Keon, arrested by the Provincial Officer Wilson, esceaped with $10 and costs for being drunk. On a charge of assault Tony Malik was fined $50 and costs.

On Friday night there was a good crowd at the formal opening of the Timmins Rink for the season, over one hundred skaters enjoying the pleaâ€" sant hospitality of Manager H. Mulâ€" heron for the occeasion, the admission being generously free for the evening. One of the innovations was the "! turn< ing‘‘ of the skaters every little while. This is proving a popular move as it helps to increase the confidence and skill of those on the ice and accustom them to going either way. Formerly it was the practice to travel round the rink the one way all evening,â€"to the left,â€"but under the new plan a bel} announces the time to change and then the skaters reverse. As the change is made several times in the evening, it adds to the interest and increases the adaptability of the s«Katers. The ice at the rink is in good shape and good crowds are enjoying it each evening. GOUNGIL WINDING UP YEARԤ BUSINFESS The regular meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday afterâ€" noon with the Mayor and all the Councillors present. The business was largely routine work, cleaning up matters for the end of the year. Aâ€" mong the items dealt with was the revising of the town byâ€"law book. There are many outâ€"ofâ€"date and conâ€" flicting byâ€"laws, and Councillor GHlobe was emphatic in the opinion that the revision should not be continually deâ€" ferred. When Mr. Mahon was Town Solicitor on a salary basis he had been expected to make the revision, but nothing had yet been done. On moâ€" tion of Councillors GHobe and Pierce, the Finance Committee was empowâ€" ered to arrange for the revision and for paying for same. Regular Meeting Adjourned to Friday December 14th. The salary of Constable Greer was increased to $125 per month on motion of Councillors Williams and Pierce. The Council adjourned until Friday, December 14th. ARE LOCAL WOODâ€"CUTTERS PLAYING PROFITEERING? as the cuttting of wood, for instance. Complaints by the score have come to The Advance regarding the attitude of those with woodâ€"cutting outfits. Apparently they are taking undue adâ€" vantage of the situation not only to make profits out of proportion to the service rendered, but also to eontrol and monopolize the sale of wood. From what The Advance can learn some of the woodâ€"cutters are refusing to cut wood for householders who have purchased elsewhere than from the owner of the machine. The remedy would be easy in other than war times for competition would soon cure the tendency. As it is, however, many householders have been seriously inâ€" convenienced and put to loss. In a climate like this, those who would take advantage of the public in matter like this have little room to criticize Flavelle or anybody else. There is much large talk locally these days about *‘ profiteering‘‘â€"by the big fellows someplace else. But, as usual, many forget to look at home. Are not some of the local people tryâ€" ing the profiteering game in a small} way? is not ‘‘small‘‘ the right word? Take such a necessary matter G OF RINK
