Adjoining Places Saved. W i in spite of an amazingly quick resâ€" ponse by the firemen long before one o‘clock the building and ‘contents were a mass of smouldering ruins. Mr. Rayner, in company with H. Galâ€" linger, of Golden City, had been at the garage as late as twenty minutes to twelve and there was then no signs of anything wrong. â€" He had just reached his home and was standing on the verandah talking to Mrs. Rayner when the alarm was sounded. â€" The fire was discovered and the alarm given ‘by Messrs Cecil Storm, (emâ€" ployee of the garage) and Allan Shepâ€" pard. Policeman Brooks was also quickly on the scéne and so was Chief Mclnnis..<The gathering crowd bhad to be ‘kept well back owing>to the. danger of gasoline exiplosions. The fire evidently started in the new addition at the back as flames seemed to be bursting from there almost as soon as the alarm was in. The origin of the fire is a mystery but owing to the rapidity with which it spread it is surmised that there must have been some kind of an explosion. Mr. Rayner‘s loss will be very heavy as the insurance carried is not by any means adequate to replace the buildâ€" ing, let alone the expensive pumps and other upâ€"toâ€"date apparatus which it was equipped. â€" The two _ Sogth Porcupine, Ont., June 21st. Special to The Advance. A disastrous fire visited South Porâ€" ecupine on Saturday, June 18th, when the wellâ€"equipped garage of G. W. Rayner, on Bruce avenue, quickly went up in smoke.

These tanks contained 500 gallons of gasoâ€" line at the time, so the seriousness of the results can be imagined had the fire by any means reached them. Luckily Mr. Rayner‘s new Hudson was pluckily taken out by Allan Shepâ€" pard, though the flames were then alâ€" most enveloping it. Another of Mr. Rayner‘s own cars, a Ford, was burnâ€" ed. It being Saturday night, all the cars which had been in the garage for repair had ‘been taken out by their owners for Hunday. The office addiâ€" tion was badly scorched ‘but the books are saved. The residence of the late Bert Strain was also rather scorched, but it was also saved by the firemen. Luckily there was not much wind so that the difficult task of controlling the fire was not made harder. The whole community sympathize with Mr. Rayner in this loss just at the beginning of the season. As soon as pumps can be adjusted ‘he will conâ€" tinue to sell oil and gas to the public while cleaning up the debris left by the fire and getting. things into some kind of shape again. PROGRAMME FOR VISIT OF SCOTTISH FOOTBALL TEAM The programme for the entertainâ€" ment of the touring Scottish Football team has been laid out and subject to possible slight variation will be as follows :â€" The Scottish Football team will be met at Porquis Junction and brought to Timmins by motor cars. A number of motor cars have volunteered for this service. * ‘They will arrive at Timmins about 4 p.m., and will be officially welcomed here by Mayor E. L. Longmore. It is expected that the Timmins Citizens‘ Band will be in attendance for the reception. â€" The football match commences at 6 p.m. on July 1st. The Timmins Citizens‘ Band will be in attendance at the game. 102 60 Mayor to Welcome Visitors at the Band Stand. Team Will be, Brought from Porquis Juncâ€" tion by Motors. the evening the Scottish team will be the, guests of the Canadian Legion gt / their National Costume dance in the Mcelntyre hall, Schuâ€" macher. 4 On Saturday morning it is intendâ€" ed to take the visitors on a trip through the mines, arrangements beâ€" ing now under way with the idea of having some of them see the Hollinger and some the Mclntyre. Saturday afternoon golf miatches have been arranged by the Timmins Golf Club for the with the visitors. m =» On Saturday evening it is planned to have a Community Dance on the pavement, with this feature under the joint auspices of the ,Football and the Timmins Citizens‘ Band, an orchestra from the latter to. furnish the music for the occasion. For this event tags will ibe sold. ‘The Scottish Football team will leave here on Sunday, July, 3rd, on the noon train for the south. The Sudbury Star aptly sums up the situation in these words:â€"*"‘Liâ€" quor stores are pretty well distributâ€" ed in the centres of population, but considerable suffering is reported in the outlying districts.‘‘ . Specially attractive were the inâ€" strumental trios by Mr. J. Newman, Lieut. Patterson and Mr. W. H. Kearâ€" ney. Mr. Kearney played the piano in his usual talented way ; Lieut. Patâ€" terson â€" furnished excellent= cornet music; and Mr. Newman alternated on the ‘cello and the Japanese fiddle. The combination made a very attracâ€" tive one, and the several selections by the two found much deserved favour. Mr. Newman in solo work on the ‘cello and on the Japanese Fiddle (a oneâ€"stringed instrument from which ‘he brought very fine music) also made a decided hit. A pleasing recitation well given by Mr. Newman was also a very popular number. . The Timmins Salvation Army held its anniversary services during the weekâ€"end, and a special feature of the birthday observance was the musical progt e given in the Army hall on Sat?x{day evening. This programme one of the highest musical interâ€" est and excellence and roused very general agpreclatlon from all in atâ€" tendance. ‘ 4. A. Macdonald presided for the occason, and after some stories and homour, referred in high praise to the good work, social, moral and religious, accomplished by the Salvaâ€" tion Army in over 80 countries of the world and in over 50 different languâ€" ages. He expressed the general reâ€" gret at the expected departure of Adâ€" jutant and Mrs. Crowe and Lieut. Patterson who have done such fine work in Timmins and earned the esteen and regard of all by their splendid cltwenshxp and high characâ€" ter. Almost any item on the programme was worth several times the small admission fee charged for the event. Every number on the programme was specially appreciated on merit and the whole evening was a delightful one for all who enjoy good music. . The Army was equally fortunate in the vocal soloists for the evening. Miss Mills delighted all with her fine voice and her sympathetic presentaâ€" tion of pleasing solos. She won very enthusiastic applause. Miss Rosina Mair was equally popular, her sweet voice and gifted presentation of several numbers pleasing all. . In *Smilin‘ Through‘‘ she won especial applause. Mr. W. FTrollope won very insistent encore by his sympathetic interpretation of the solo, ‘‘Hymns of the Old Choir.‘‘ He was equally well received and encored on his second appearance on the programme. won very hearty applause and approvâ€" al, and showed decided talent on the part of these young violinists.. é olin solos by Sam Katz and Wilâ€" lie Shub, pupils of Mr. Birrell Bell, 4. Reference was made during the evening to the fact that the vocalists were from Schumacher and the inâ€" strumental artists from Timmins.

It is not too much to say that the gifted piano duet by Misses Valarie Rapsey and Bessie Mansfield, of South Porcupine, was one of the outstanding numbers on the proâ€" gramme. This skilfully presented number was very warmly applauded. Valuable assistance to the success of the vocal numbers was given by Mr. Geo. Hale, and Mr. W. H.
