It was the first fire of any consequence to take place in Timmins, and great praise was given to Fire Chief Nolan and the officers and men under him for their splendid work.

The Advance compliâ€" mented the light and power company on the good service given generally, pointing out that in Toronto and other cities it was quite a common 0¢â€" currence for the power to be off while it was a very rare thing in Timmins. ‘‘But,‘‘ concluded The Advance, ‘*‘eitizens would not wish the N. O. L. and P. Co. to construe this compliâ€" ment into an exeuse for, or justificaâ€" tion of, the present rates charged.‘‘ In this opinion The Advance has no change to record in this year of grace and hlgh light charges of 1926. . on the scene, some 400 yards from the fire hall, with two streams playâ€" ing on the threatened buildings. The fire #as in the building oceupied by Laub and Stockwell, â€"the centre of a solid block of wooden buildings,â€" and not only was it confined within the four walls of the property in which it originated, but it was also almost entirely kept to the upper storey where it commenced. It was thought to have started from /a kitchen stove in one of the apartâ€" ments upstairs. Mrs. Breen suffered severe cuts from broken â€" glass. Everything was destroyed on the upâ€" per floor, and Meéssrs. Laub and Stockâ€" well, conffectioners, were also heavy losers. . $ f The toll of war was felt in Timmins as elsewhere, in 1916. ‘*‘A â€" short time ago,"‘‘ says The Advance, ‘"We learned of the death by drowning, There have been great changas in many things in the town of Timmins during the past ten years but careâ€" lessness or thoughtlessness or indifâ€" ference in regard to assisting in the wofk of the Board of Trade seems to be a rather constant and unchanging quantity. In the Advance of Februâ€" ary 2nd, 1916, there is a report of the monthly meeting of the Timmins Board of Trade, and it reads much like the report of a similtar meeting toâ€"day. There were only ten twelve members present, and while those present were enthusiastic ana earnest, they felt handicaped and dinâ€" couraged by the apparent indifference of the other business men and citizens who failed to attend the meeting. M‘r. Dayton Ostrosser was the, presiâ€" dent â€"of the Board of Trade in 1916, and Mr. F. C. H. Simms was the seereâ€" tary. Others present at the meeting referred to were Mr. T. F. King and Mr. Geo. Preston The seeretary was instructed to communicate with Sir Adam Beck, Minister of Power for Ontario, asking for information reâ€" garding the possible extension of the Hydroâ€"Electric Commission activities into this North Land. On the subject of telephone and light rates a comâ€" mittee reported that they had interâ€" viewed Mr. J. H. Black and were told by him that a new schedule would be put in force in Januaty in regard to lboth light and telephone rates. The committee was asked to see Mr. Black once more and press the matter still‘ further.

The Advance said:â€"‘‘*We have nearâ€" ly everything in the way of public convenience,â€"thanks to somebody or other. Our streets and dwellings are well lighted, thanks to the N. O. L. and P. Co., although that company would have no difficulty in proving that it is not a philantrophic concern. We have a respectable telephone servâ€" ice, thanks to the same company, with the same sideâ€"remarks applied and doubled. _We have what is known as a railway service, due to the warm inâ€" teresst taken in the town by the T. N. O.â€"thanks reserved. â€" We have an excellent water system, thanks to the Canadian Mining and Finance Co. and ourselves. We have an excellent volunteer fire brigade, as was proved this week, thanks to a few publicâ€" spirited men, who deserve much more. than they receive at the hands, of the citizens generally. We also have lotis of other things weâ€"could brag about, including a wellâ€"conducted hotel, one of the finest rinks in the country, and a hockey team that can lick all comâ€" ers,â€"but no street signs!*‘ Oh, well, there has been progress all right in the past ten year in Timmins. There is an improved water system, a betâ€" ter and bigger fire iIbrigade, a greatly improved railway service (for which many thanks to Chairman (Geo. W. Lee and Commissioners Martin and MacLaren), a hockey team that still can lick all comers, a curling rink as well as a skating rink, four fine hotels instead of one, and we have paved streets with the houses numbered, as well as the street signs urged in 1916. generally known as ‘‘Jack‘‘) Brenâ€" nan has fallen on the field of battle. He is really the first of this famous battery, so far as known, to be killed in actual battle, and many a thought of regret will be silently expressed, as well as pride shown by his local friends and admirers.‘‘ He was on the police foree at South Poreupine, later transferring to Timmins, and still later to the MeIntyre Mine at Schumacher. He was a native of Eardley, Quebec. Mrs. Wm. Williams, of Charlton, and Mrs. John O‘Hara, of Enzlshart, being sisters. after being wounded, of Pte. MeEFachâ€" ren of ‘the Borden Battery. Now comes the news that John Albert DISAPPEARANCE BAY BARF _At the Big Dome the month of January, 1916, showed noteworthy inâ€" crease in tonnage and value of proâ€" duction! over the previous two Januâ€" arys. The production for 1916 for the month of January was $176,590.00, while in 1915 for the same month it was only $82,727.00, and $111,500.00 for January, 1914., Several good strikes had been made at the Dome during 1915 and in January 1916. There were good sports in the Porâ€" cupine Amateur Hockey League in 1915. Because three of ‘the Dome players, Keeley, MceDonald and Everâ€" ard, were under the weather, the game scheduled with Hollinger for Jan. 20th was postponed and an exhibition match played instead between Dome and Hollinger teams, the Hollinger beâ€" ing the victors by the close score of 7 to 6. The first period was a tie, 3 to 3, and the second a ditto, 4 to 4. Sullivan was by far the most effective man on the Dome lineâ€"up,â€" while Docker and Brown worked hard all the time but failed to get any combinâ€" ation in play. Lavereau and Lefrenâ€" iere were the best for Hollinger. *A search has h J. H.
