According to the terms of the original agreement in regard to the> Globo Shield, any trustee had the power to appoint a successor to take his place in case he left the Camp or could not perform the duties of the office for any reason. This year there are two of the original trustees away, namely Mr. Globe and Mr. J. P. MeLaughlin. All the friends of the Dog Race event hero were anxious for Mr. Globe to continue as a trustee and he has deput ed Dr. N!(mre to.act forchim while he is away.

There was a meeting of the T+mmins Board of Health last night, and preâ€" cautionauary methods were considered in regard to any possible danger of a ‘*Flu‘‘ epidemic this year. This disâ€" trict has been comparatively free from ‘*Plu‘‘ this year but the malady ‘has heen im epidemic form down south and the idea last night was to make plans to prevent any gqanger nere.

Apparently the only sonsible reason for featuring such an idea is the purpose to give a ‘*boost‘" to the silver and other minâ€" ing camps, even though it be at the iz that nothing along this line had been eonmdered by the Union so far. Indeed, there had not been even disâ€" cussion along this line at the Union meetings. ‘""I don‘t know where the newspapers got such reports,‘‘ said Mr. MeKinnon, ‘‘but there has to my knowledge been nothing to justify It is an odd fact that these outside newspapers seemm seldom to refer to this district except to misrepresent or injure it. A couple of years ago these same outside paperse acted as if they were simply determined to have labor troubles here, whether or no. Their action @ertainly did not assist in avoid ing difficulty. The game attitude now would be a fruitful souree of harm, were it not for the fact that the men here are not swayed easily and do not repond to every irresponsible sugâ€" zestion. As one member of the Union here said ‘"We know our own affairs. We mind our own business. And we would thank a whole lot of these troubleâ€"seeking â€" outsiders if they would do the same."‘‘ Two new mining companies have been granted Ontario charters,â€"the Lebel Crystal Lake Gold Mines, and the â€" Hughesâ€"MeElroy Gold Mines, e "LL Limited Very encouraging reports come from the work being done on the Murrayâ€"Mogridge property at Wolfe Lako near Bourke‘s. ; Of Interest To Miming World ; Aib ty dOdArencser P t t Toronto and other outside newsâ€" papers during the past few days have been carrying alleged despatches and articles to the effect that the Porâ€" chpine Miners are busy at present formulating demands for increases in pay to be presented to the Mines here in the Spring.

The Patheseope Company will have some of their staff here for some days around the time of the race and a number of the best sort of views of this part of the North Land may be expected. ‘Theâ€" Canadian _ National News film service is supplied each week to hundreds of theatres from one end of ‘Canada to the other. These news pictures deal with Canadian views and Canadian events, and the Pathescope Company who make the films are always on the lookâ€"out for !speciul features of interest. It may be taken for granted that to the peoâ€" ple in general in Canada the Dog Race pictures will be of particular anterest., «The majority of the people in the south and east have never seen a dog race. As one of the Dog Race Committee here suggested, ‘"*The further south the greater intcrest there will boe in these dog race picâ€" tures.""

The Iroquois Falls team came here by special train, but this time did not bring their brass band. The resalt was that when there was trouwble with the engine on the train, the Falls train had no music ready to soothe tho savage breast of the. lbeomotive. ‘The final consequence was that the special did not arrive here until 9.15 p. m., and the game consequently did not start until about quarter to ten. The Falls had desired to have a reâ€" fereo and judge of play brought here for the game from Cobakt and this beâ€" ing quite satisfactory to the Porâ€" cupine team, Mr. N. F. Smith was here as referee and Mr. H. G. Kenâ€" nedy as judge of play. Theiv decisions gave general satisfaction, ‘The play for the evening on both sides was free from any open roughness, and the ppnalties imposed were genecrally ftor what â€"may _ beâ€" eonsidered _ tainor breaches of the rules.

An idea of the hard playing may be gathered from the fact that two sepâ€" arate periods of overtime were requir ed to decide the game.

The alarm of fire was turned ir about quarter to twelve, and the brigade made the usual speedy re«â€" ponse,. The fire, however, by this tiame had great hbheadway, and the dense volumes of smoke made fightâ€" ing it a very difficult matter. _ The fire originated in the big new ‘baseâ€" ment of the store, from some eause or causes unknown, though there is a probable theory that it generated from spontaneous combustion. K seemed to start among some oils and the stdre fire extinguishers were used on it without the desired effect. The blaze rapidly gained headway and the stifling smoke drove the staff from the basement. In a few minutes more the store ground floor was so filled with smoke that the staff had to seek safety outside. A few minâ€" utes after the fire was discovered it had such headway, aided ‘by the dense suffocatiny fumes and smoke, that the plaoe was doomed. The firemen put up an energetic and effective batâ€" tle with the flames, but npothing ecould be done further than to preâ€" vent the spread of the fire to other buildings. In a short time three or four lines of hose were playing on tho building at the most advantagâ€" eous points. The nature of the matâ€" erial stocked in a furniture and hardware store, however, made the fireâ€"lighting very difficult. Tho Gdenrse smoke from oils, mattresses, ate., inâ€" terfered with closeâ€"up fire fighting, though the firemen took chanses on several oceasions. The rapid sproad of the tire and the dense choungs 0% smoke practically made it impesable to sare any of the stocks.
