Plunkett, himself. The new revue which will be seen here is called ‘*Oo, La La!‘‘ It is described as a jolly mixture o‘ trench mud and star dustâ€"the humour of the trenches, blended with the clever satire of the current French revues. Captain Plunkett has gone to the France of ten years ago, as well as to the France of toâ€"day, for his inâ€" spirations. Those of us who believe that Canaâ€" da‘s representative _ soldier â€" show should always retain a bit of that warâ€" time flavour, will rejoice in many of the .splendid things that have found a place in ‘‘Oo, La. La!" For several years the Captain has been building up a personnel around the original stars, of actors who could adequately handle a budget of oneâ€"act plays and sketches of a more imporâ€" tant nature than any they have atâ€" tempted so far. It has taken nine years of constant weeding and develâ€" opment to achieve this without sacriâ€" ficing any of the important elements, covering both men and material, that have contributed so much to the sueâ€" cess of The Dumbells‘ productions in the past. The present cast includes Al. Plunâ€" kett, Ross Hamilton, ‘* Red‘‘ Newman, Pat Rafferty, Fred Emney, Harry Binns, Jack MceClennan, *‘‘Jock" Holland, Glenn Allan, Morley Plunâ€" kett, Camerorf Geddes, Charlie Jeeves, Lous Crerar, Howard Fogg and Capâ€" tain Mert.

ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT POR THE HILLTOP MINES The Hollinger Mine is having a payâ€" day on Friday of this week for the convenience of its employees, all of whom will thus be paid before the Christmas holiday, though the regular pay day would not come until the * fth. Christmas this year comes on a Sunday and so the following day, Monday, Dec. 26th, is also to be reâ€" cognized throughout Canada as a holiâ€" day. The stores will be closed on Monday and the day generally obâ€" served as a holiday. Notices have been posted at the Hollinger Mine and other mines in the district, as well as in other industrial and business places that Monday is to be a general holiâ€" day. MONDAY NEXT, DEC. 26TH, WILL ALSO BE A HOLIDAY. Vaudeville, raising the Chinchillas here. If any still have doubts they should constlt Mr. W. Trollope, of Schumacher. At his place on the T: N. G., about opposite the Melntyre Recyreation hall, Mr. Trollope has seven lively Chinâ€" chillas that have come through the season so far in the finest condition. He has them in a small shed and only to see them is to know they are doing well indeed. _ They have stood the weather without any difficulty, and their fur is very good. The shed is a windproof one, but no fuxther proâ€" tection is necessary, except that it is well to have lots of sawdust or shavings for the rabbits. This bedding should be changed every two or three days. Another point that Mr. Trollops has learned is that the Chinchillas need learned is Tualt The nced lots of water to drink. In ease the water freezes the rabbts simply chip the ice in the vessel and take their drink as straight ices. The fifth annual dog race at Cochâ€" rane will be held on January 2nd. open to all boys under 16 years There will be three events,â€"races fo; single dogs, two dogs and three dogs No whip must be used or earried. On several occasions The Advance has suggested the consideration of the raising of Chinchilla rabbits in this district as a sideline for farmers or a hobby for others. _ The Chinchillas are among the most valuable of the rabbit tribe and they are not espeâ€" cially difficult to raise. Rabbits genâ€" erally do well in this country, and it would appear that the Chinchillas should prove a very profitable sideline for some settlers and others who like this type of hobby. The cold here improves the fur to a large extent, and those who are in possession to know say that Northern rabhbits should be especially good as fuyxâ€"bearâ€" ers. There does not seem to be any question as to the practicability of raising the Chinchillas here. If any GHINGHILLA RABBIT D0 WHL AT SGRUMACHER Mr. W. Trollope Has Seven Very Lively Specimens That are Wintering Very Well. Dr. Mitchell favours persuasion and voluntary vacceination and believes that these methods will be all necesâ€" sary to assure the curbing of the deâ€" velopment of any further cases in the district isolated as soon as it was known the men had the disease. At Cobalt the High School Board requested Mayor Lendrum to have steps taken to enforee at onece a genâ€" eral vaceination of pupils attendiing the Cobalt high school, but the Cobalt Medical Health Officer, Dr. E. W. Mitâ€" chelll, does not consider this as necesâ€" sary, at deast for the present. â€" The questlon, according to the despatches, has been left in the hands of the M.H. O., and if Dr. Mitchell finds any deâ€" velopment that will warrant the inauâ€" guration of general vaccination he will notify the mayvor to that effect. According to a report credited to Dr. W. Egerton George, the District Provincial Medical Officer of Health, there are at present approximately forty cases of smallpox in the North Land. This is moré than the usual number of cases at any one time, but as the disgase is in several separated parts of the North, in no place ean it be said to have attained anything like an epidemic form, unless it be called an epidemic in the Charlton and Englehart areas where there is a total of about 30 cases reported. _ There are nine cases in Kirkland Lake, one in Cobalt, and a couple not far from Boston Creek. Simply as a precauâ€" tion, the theatres, clubs and poolâ€" rooms at Kirkland Lake have been closed. â€" The understanding is that there are no special cases reported m the lumber camps, and the mines generally of the North, apart from Boston Creek and Kirkland, may be said to be free from the disease. As noted above the cases in Kirkland Lake and Boston Creeck are not at all numexous.

Meâ€" Vittie, B.A., conducted the special services at Rouyn to officially open the United Church basement which will be the foundation of the new United Church to be opened at Rouyn. able to be present for the occasion. Rev. Fr,. O‘Gorman‘s very interestâ€" ing and informative talk started the reminiscences of others of the memâ€" bers, and there were many odd and interesting Christmas stories told. This is ‘‘Apple Week‘‘ and Mr. W. Nicolson had handsome booklets on ‘‘HMealth Through Apples,"" and reâ€" cipes for cooking and serving apples. A number of the members at once made humorous demand for the apâ€" ples themselves, and received promise for a case for the next regular meetâ€" ing, the joke in this being that the next regular meeting is not to be held on account of the holiday. When this latter fact was pointed out, there enâ€" sued a humorous Scottish argument between Messrs Dougall and Nicolson and others. After many witty pasâ€" sages, it was suggested that to settle the argument Mr. Nicolson send a case of apples for Christmas to the Children‘s Shelter. To this Mr. Niâ€" colson at oncee agreed, but thought it should not go alone, but should be accompanied by a bag of flour (and he looked at Mr. Dougall). ‘‘That has already been attended to,‘‘ said Mr. Dougall, and after the laughter was over the other business of the day was preceeded with. The meeting throughout was a very pleasant one, the only disappointment being the fact that Jack Neilson, who was expected to favour the gatherm(" with selections on the violin, was not The speaker at the Kiwanis Club luncheon on Monday at the Empire Hotel was Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman, whose informal talk in Christmas Days of the past was most interesting and greatly appreciated. Rev. Fr. O‘Gorâ€" man said that he would not anticipate his own Christmas sermon or that of any of the other clergymen of the town, but he would give a few reâ€" miniscences of Christmas Days spent in many other lands. He gave a deâ€" lightful talk on memories of Christâ€" mas Day spent in Italy, Belgium, Gerâ€" many, France and England. He also touched on the interpretation from the original Greek of the story of the Nativity. : Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman‘s very interestâ€" Rev. Fr.
