gg‘x\m candidatesâ€"Messrs. Geo. Banâ€" nerman and I. P. Wilsonâ€"are in the geld for the Reeveship of Whitney Township. The recent death of Reeve MacGregor made a new elecâ€" tion necessary. \ A report gained some currency in town this week that Messrs. R. Edleâ€" ston and Guy MceChesney had been lost in a snow storm on the trail from the Red Lake camp. The report was given the best kind of denial by the arrival in town of Mr. Guy Meceâ€" Chesney whose presence was a living refutation of the story. How the story started is one of the mysteries. Mr. MeChesney was enthusiastic about the Red Lake area, where he is representing a local syndicate, He returned this week to do further work on the very promising eclaims held there by the local men. 44â€" 1LOCAL MEN NOT LOST IN ] RED LAKE AS REPORTED (On Friday evening last a number of the friends of Mr. E. °S. Noble gathered at his residence to show their appreciation of him and their re» gret at his expected departure from town. A feature of the evening was the unique presentation made. Mr. Noble was given a latest type of radio, the set being installed in #ecord time at his home. Immediately after the radio was installed, it was found that Sandy Falls was broadcasting an adâ€" dress of appreciation and farewell to Mr. Noble, the staff of the Northern Canada Power Co. being all very deâ€" sirous of expressing their sincere reâ€" gard for the manager and their regret at the severing of his connection with the company here, as well as their best wishes for the future of himself and family. Mr. M. J. Cavaney, at Sandy Falls, and Mr. B. E. Martin at Timmins, and .others on the comâ€" pany‘s staff had arranged matters so cleverly that everything went on schedule and was most interesting. The address from Sandy Falls was unusually well done and interesting. Many radio fans listened in and were greatly pleased and interested. After the presentation a very pleasant social evening was enjoyed at Mr. Noble‘s home. Mr, Noble is still in charge here, but may leave at any time, and the staff and his friends took no chances by undue delay in missing the opporâ€" tunity to express their high regard and good wishes. The alarm was sent in to the fire hall at 5.55 p.m. by teleplione, smoke being noticed in one of the rooms.. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but it evidently started in one of the back rooms upstairs. Immediately on their arrival the fire brigade got busy to get as many streams as needed flooding the flames. Soon five lines of hose were in active use. The corâ€" rugated tin siding on the building made it difficult to fight the fire, while the fact that the interior of the buildâ€" ing was finished in beaverâ€"board, and the fire appeared to be in the walls, added to the difficulty. The dense smoke was also very hard to face, UNIQUE PRESENTATION MADE TO MB. E. 5. NOBLE Popular Manager of Northern Canada Power Co. Honoured by Some of His Many Friends. Fire yesterday caused a loss of around $25,000 or $30,000 at the Osâ€" trosser building, and the fire itself proved a most persistent one and most difficult to fight on account of the construction of the building. The loss is only partly covered by insurâ€" ance. ‘The basement sand main floor are oceupied by D. Ostrosser‘s clothâ€" ing and furnishings business. _ The upstairs was occupied by the Goldwyn Beauty Parlours (Mrs. Humphrey, proprietor) and by rooms. The building was owned by Mr. D. Osâ€" trosser. There was a $35,000.00 stock in the store, with only $20,000.00 inâ€" surance carried, while only $9,000.00 insurance was . earried on the building. Mrs. Humphrey had $1,000.00 insurâ€" ance. â€" There were nine occupants of the upstairs part of the building and all these, with the exception of Mrs. Humphrey, lost everything they had in the place. One roomer is said to have lost $600.00 worth of elothing and effects. Two or three of the peoâ€" ple rooming in the place had to come out withopt waiting to be fully dressâ€" ed. One‘ young lady who returned to her room for some elothing and effects had to retreat with hair slightly erisped. The quick grip the fire got after it was first noted was remarkable.

Fire Yesterday In the Ostrosser Building G. Pirie. Next week, Open Night, when a charge of $1.00 per couple is set for admission.

An enâ€" joyable evening is assured all attendâ€" ing the event. The dance next week is not a regular Visitor‘s Night, eligibles for membership in the Club may be invited as well as those‘ not eligible for membership. The last Wednesday in March is set aside as Visitor‘s Night, when the married friends of members of the Club will be guests of the A. S. D. The attendance at the regular weekâ€" ly dance of the A. S. D. Club held last night in the Oddfellows Hall here was smaller than usual, but the memâ€" bers present spent a very enjoyable evening. The programme for the evening consisted of the usual dances with a Paul Jones and Broom Dance foxtrot thrown in as specials The Club Orchestra furnished the best of music for the evening, and the usual good luncheon all tended to making the event an enjoyable one. The schedule for the month of March, published elsewhere in this issue was announced by President C. ENJOYABLE EVENING AT THE A. S. D. CLUB LAST NIGHT Another visitor of the local associâ€" ation, Mr. R. M. Smith, of North Bay, gave a brief but peppy address on matters pertaining to insurance in the North Land. ' ] During the evening ‘‘Scotty‘‘ Wilâ€" son at the piano rendered a number of musical selections. Following the banquet in the Hotel a very inspiring .address was deliverâ€" ed by Mr. Petty on Life Insurance, and matters which every day come under the observation of the different agents. Mr. McCamus also addressâ€" ed the gathering, reviewing the work of the association in past years, and outlining the programme to be followâ€" ed during 1926. At the monthly luncheon of the Timmins Life Underwriters Associaâ€" tion held on Monday evening in the Empire Hotel, the local Association were the thosts to Mr. A. L. Petty, of Winnipeg, President of the Life Unâ€" derwriters Association of Canada, and the General Secretary, Mr. J. A. Mcâ€" Camus, of Toronto. Mr. Ostrosser is opening temporary premises in the Commodore place across the street. As soon as the adâ€" justers finish their work, Mr. Osâ€" trosser intends to run a big fire sale to dispose of the salvaged parts of the stocks. ENTERTAINED PRESIDENT OF LIfE UNDERWRITERS There was a good pressure,â€"about 90 lbs.,â€"with five lines of hose. _It took about 2 hours or more to get the fire completely extinguished, all this time the firemen working with the greatest energy and effectiveness. At about 2 a.m. this morning the fire again started in a small way at the back of the building, but was soon squelched again and all danger finally removed. Considerable of the Ostrosser stock escaped damage being in upâ€"toâ€"date show cases or on shelves that proâ€" tected them from the water. Howâ€" ever, there was much damage and the loss will be heavy. and the firemen certainly won the highest regard by the way they batâ€" tled this serious fire. _ The firemen were able to keep the flames down, and restricted the fire to the upper part of the building where it started. None of the downstairs was hurt by fire, but the water and smoke dagmage was serious. _ Tons of water poured down while dense volumes of smoke added to the injury of the fine stocks of the Ostrosser Co. The cellar was filled with water, and the water also drained into the Burke Drug Store cellar. The Bank of Montreal adâ€" joining the Ostrosser building on the north got a little scorching but being a brick building it was practically fireâ€"proof and so suffered nothing but a little colouring of the. sidewall. There was quite a wind} blowing to add to the difficulty of handling the fire, but as the wind was blowing away from the buildings nearby of lighter construction the danger was not serious from the wind. mming Life Insurance Association Have as Guests Men Distinguishâ€" ed in Their Profession. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25th, 1926 The Committee in charge of the arâ€" rangements for the 1926 Poreupine Dog Race and Carnival had a brief meeting last night. ~ Owing to other calls several of the committee® were unable to be present, Fire Chiéf Borâ€" land, ‘for instance, being on duty at the fire at Ostrosser‘s store. _ Some progress was made in the perfecting of arrangements, and it was decided to work hard to make the event on Friday, March 12th, a complete sueâ€" cess.

The Euchre and Dance given in the Oddfellows‘ Hall on Monday evenâ€" ing by the Ladies of the Qrient is genâ€" erally acelaimed as one of the most enjoyable events ever held here. That this opinion is not mere idle compliment is proven by the fact that the ladies have been besieged with reâ€" quests to put on more similar events.

JAt the Kiwanis Club luncheon on Tuesday afternoon, the President, Mr. K. Dye, occupied the chair and effecâ€" tively conducted the interesting meetâ€" ing. The chief feature of the day was the address by Mr. T. F. Sutherâ€" land, Chief Mining Inspector for Onâ€" tario. Mr. Sutherland spent some time last year studying mining condiâ€" tions, etc., in South Africa, and to the Kiwanis Club he gave a very interestâ€" ing and informative account of his visit, touching on many matters that proved of decided interest to his audiâ€" ence, all finding the address attractive and well worth while. The address of the Chief Inspector of Mines for Ontario is considered one of the outâ€" standing addresses given at the Kiâ€" wanis Club luncheons. (c} _ MR. C, ROACH REFEREES N.O.H.A.

The growing number of~ libraries in the North Land are pleasing indicaâ€" tion of the growth of the country aâ€" long right lines.\ A meéeting was called for the New Empire Theatre last night by some unknown persons who claimed that ‘‘a new council is desired.‘‘ There were about eighty at the meeting and nothing of importance developed â€" at the meeting, further than some there seemed to be badly mixed as to their facts. Mr. E. G. Dickson occupied the chair, and among those taking a prominent part in the meeting were: Chas. Pletch, J. P. Bartleman, Val English, S. Eplett, F. Valois, and Mr. Nelson. There were a number of speeches, but nothing of importance said that has not been disproved beâ€" fore. One speaker had criticism for the report of the protest proceedings in Cochrane, but as the report is genâ€" erally agreed by those at Cochrane as being a fair one, and as it agrees with the viewpoint of the despatches sent out to all the outside newspapers in the matter, the criticism may be taken as on a par with the rest of the meetâ€" ing‘s proceedings. After a disceusâ€" sion and much talk it was decided to name a slate of candidates for Mayor and six councillors. E. (Gé. Dickson was named as candidate for Mayor, and Dr. Joyall, S. Eplett, Dr. Brenâ€" nan, M. McChesney, L. Halperin and H. Morin were nominated by some in the audience for this slate. Messrs. J. Theriault and V. English were also nominated, but whether they are inâ€" cluded in the slate was not apparent. The annual meeting of the «Timâ€" mins Football Club will be held at "the Council Chamber, Fourth avenue, on Monday evening, March 8th, comâ€" mencing at 8 p.m. All membership ticketâ€"holders and players last season specially urged to attend as business of great importance will be before the meeting. MEETING NAMES SLATE FOR MUNICIPAL ELECTION iss M. E. Stevenson, of Ottawa, entral Supervisor for the Viectorian Order of Nurses for Canada, is in town this week following requests for the extension of the V. 0. N. work to Timmins .. For some years past a Victorian Order Nurse has given very much appreciated service to the town of Cobalt. North Bay has two Viecâ€" torian ‘Order Nurses, and look upon them as among the special assets of the new city. Some years ago the V. (). N. organized here, but for some reason or another the local branch did not carry on. The value of the Victorian Order of Numses was reâ€" cognized then, and need still seems to be apparent." Miss Stevenson will be in~ town~for severaldlays and is planâ€" ning to meet, several societies and groups‘ to talk over the matter previâ€" ous to a public meeting. Miss Stevenâ€" son is enlisting the interest of the Medical Association, the Board of Trade, the Kiwanis Club and other societies and organizations, as well as desiring general public coâ€"operaâ€" tion in the matter. In assuring skilled nursing care of high standard for the poor as well as those able to pay the V. 0.
