A great many people in Timmins were roused from their slumbers by the heary rush of wind, and a large number dressed in anticipation of a real torâ€" nado. The rain which followed a few minutes later served to check the fires and the storm passed over without serious damage.‘"‘ ‘*A.

W. Field, President of the Poreupine Premier (Gold Mines, Ltd., of Boston, Mass., visited the Poreuping and looked over the properties owned by his company in Deloro. He was much pleased with the progress made. A large aâ€" mount of the development work had been done on the 100â€"foot level, and in the southwest erossâ€"cut a very fine body of ore had been opened up, averâ€" Those newspaper guys and other common folks in the South who imaâ€" gine the Poreupine Camp is a wild, untutored and uncivilized place where the natives run around in furs in winter and a coat of fly oil in the summer, are hereby notified that as much as ten years ago dress suits were worn even by men over six feet, and there were a lot of sixâ€"footers here in those days. In proof of the dress, suit idea, read the following wiant advt. from The Advance of August 23rd, 1916â€"‘"For Saleâ€"Full Dress Suit; only been worn a couple of times; cost nearly $70.00; would suit a man around 6 feet or over. A bargain for anyone needing same. $25.00 cash. Can be seen at G. L. Bissonette‘s Stiore; South: Poreupine. *‘ Of course, that suit was sold, and used. Further than that, it may be added that seven years or so ago. there was a Chief of Police in hm-' mins who admitted to wearing pajaâ€" maAs. W. H. Wilson, clerk of the Townâ€" ship of Tisdale, had a notice in The Advance to the effect that he was open to receive applications for the position of tax collector for the 1916 roll in the Township of Tisdale. . Apâ€" plicants were asked to give details of previous experience, state if married or single, age, ete. Applications had to be in applicant‘s own handwriting, and accompanied by references as to ability and character." In the same issue of The Advane: there was an announcement to the effect that ‘Mrs. L. E. Christie was discontinuing business in Timmins. and that consequently $20,000 stock had to be cleared in 60 days, with big bargains offered in ladies‘ wear, etc. Also fixtures were for sale, and store for rent. The big feature at the Empire Theaâ€" tre (now the Old Empire) tor August 28th and 29th, 1916, was Mrytle Gonâ€" zaley and Val Paul in ""It Happened in Honolulu.‘‘ This was a Redfeaâ€" ther photoplay that received much advance publicity. ‘‘The following new recruits have been added to the strength of the 228th here during the past week:â€"â€" N.

In all cases of letters for publication where it is desired that the name should not be published, The Advance will always respect the confidence. In the matter of news items, the names, of eourse, will" not be used. But in all cases it is imâ€" perative that The Advance should know the souree from which the letâ€" ters or information originates. This is the invariable rule uf all responâ€" sible newspapers. Last week The Advance received a number of news items in a letter without signature. These could not be used. Despite the fact that the absolute necessity for The Advance knowing the source of all letters sent here has been repeatâ€" ed in these columns time without number, friends continue to forward anonymous communications. No reâ€" putable newspaper can accept anonyâ€" mous â€" communieations. The _ name must be sent, not necessarily for pubâ€" lication, but as an evidence of good faith.

The article proceeds to point out the rapid development in Canaâ€" da‘s big gold camp.

Contracts of all kinds taken EMPIRE BUTILDING LEO MASCIOL] utm in lt y in onl in In regard to <the smashingâ€"up of furniture and fittings at the Empress Hotel at Cochrane recently by a gang of harvesters passing through to the West, The Cochrane News left the impression that the Chinamen were to _blame for the disorder, through pickâ€" ing a quarrel with one of the harvesâ€" ters. At the time The Advance pointed ont that this was altogether contrary to the disposition and temâ€" perment of the Chinese. As a matter of fact, from drunken and foolish white men_ _ _the . average Chinese restaurant keeper puts up with more abuse and nonsense than a human beâ€" ing should be asked to hear. Usualâ€" ly, the Chinaman shows an‘ immense amount of patience and restraint. Accordingly, it was hard to belitve that the peaceful Chinamen at Cochâ€" rane should go out of their way to atâ€" tack a harvester or anyone else. The truth of this idea is shown by a corâ€" rection published in the last issue of The cNews. In this correction The News says:â€"‘‘In last week‘s issue of The Néews,. it was stated that the real cause of the smashing of windows at the Empress Hotel was blamed on the employees of the Empress, but since we have learned that some of the harâ€" vesters started the disturbance in the kitchen of the place by throwing pies on the floor, which the management resented. It is regretted that such a disturbance should ‘have taken place in Coehrane."‘ Surely, ‘"it is regretâ€" ted that such a disturbance should take place‘‘ anywhere, and still more that peaceful and inoffensive people should be unjustly blamed as the cause. In this North Land the Chinamen have been among the pionâ€" eers. In the early days of practicalâ€" ly every community in this North they have supplied a genuine need. They pay their way, are almost inâ€" variably goodâ€"humoured, despite unâ€" necessary abuse and imposition. They are entitled to a square deal and a fair word. Cochrane again has a town hand, organization being completed recentâ€" ly. There are about twenty playing members to the new Cochrane Band, and the work is being taken up with energy and enthusiasm. Mr. Hanâ€" cock has been appointed band leader and practices are being held cvery Friday evenig. BAND OF TWENTY PIBCES ORGANIZED AT COCHRANE, 4.; Collins., .. .: T.; Money . C. MceWhiney .. J. A.
