In all 42 buildings were desâ€" troyed and the loss was placed at $200,â€" 000.00. On account of the high rates very little insurance was carried so the loss was a very serious one for South Porcupine.

On motion of Councillors Brazeau and Studor a grant of $50.90 was made to the Boy Scouts‘in town, to assist in meeting the expenses of the boys to Toronto to meet the head of their organization, General Sir Badenâ€" Powell. Friends of Boy Scouts had collected $113.00 for the same purpose, the constitution of the Boy Scouts not permitting the boys themselves to soliâ€" cit funds for their own use. At the council meeting Dr. McInnis, the maâ€" yor, referred to the importance to the district of good roads, and he suggested a roads commission to include the heads of the municipalities in the camp with representatives from the Motor League as a possibly helpful plan to induce more attention to road betterâ€" ment by the Government. The unfairâ€" ness of the people of the district paying full price for motor licenses was emâ€" phasized by Councillor Brazeau. People here had only a few miles of roads. but had to pay as much license as down south where there highways by the mile. On motion of Councillors Brazâ€" eau and Studor it was decided to send a letter to the Highways Branch, askâ€" ing for a refund of 50 per cent. of all _motor licenses bought here, the amount rebated to be spent on the roads here. Mr. Charette appeared again before council asking for recompense for damâ€" age done through water and sand in his cellar. Mr. Charette said that he had appealed to the council for years in the matter but had never gotten any satisfaction.

Ten years ago the town council took up the question of auto traffic here and the danger arising from speed and lack of regulation. On motion of Councilâ€" lors Brazeau and L. Newton, council decided to erect a number of "silent policemen," one at the Goldfields corâ€" ner, one at the Marshallâ€"Ecclestone corner, and one at Dalton‘s. Councilâ€" lor Brazeau referred to the danger from autos travelling too fast in town, and the motion was extended to inâ€" clude for the snforcement of the law to safeguard the life and comfort of the people in general, the speed limit for the town not to exceed twelve miles of the Division Court were found to be unharmed in the vault after the fire. During the fire there was a steady round of exploding cartridges from a foreign rooming house that was raided the previous year and searched for fireâ€" arms. It is thought that a quantity of ammunition was hidden in the walls and ceiling of the building. | fire was checked at the Northern Canâ€" ada Supply Co., where the Timmins firemen particularly made a determinâ€" ‘ed stand. In about three hours after it started the big fire was under constrol. Chief Carr of the South Porcupine briâ€" gade did excellent work with the apâ€" pliances available but the fire had great headway before it was discovered. A call for assistance was sent to Timâ€" mins, about eight of the volunteer fireâ€" men here going out by auto truck aud giving the best of service. The engine from here was out also but stalled on a piece of bad road. A number of the other citizens from Timmins and Schuâ€" macher also went out and assisted any way they could. So rapidly did the fire gain headway that in some cases people got goods out of buildings only to have { the geods burn on the road before they could be gotten to safety.

The Norâ€" thern Canada Supply Co. store was badly damaged and the warehouse destroyed. The store, however, with its metalâ€"clad sides, served as a buffer to save the Crown Lands and Recoraâ€" ing offices, Todd‘s drug store and the post office and perhaps much of thne rest of the town. Practically all the ctock in the Northern Canada Supply Co. store was destroyed or damaged, but most of this loss was covered by insurance. On the other damage in the town, however, there was not more than $20,000.00 insurance all told. The THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO t P PP PPB eP I 1 ! A report in Timmins ten years ago to the effect that M. Greer had died from influenza at or near Shawville, Que., distressed many of his friends in the Porcupine. On reading a reference in The Advance to the report, Mr. W. F. Richardson wired a friend in Shawville and received a very prompt reply givâ€" ing the good news that Mose Greer was living and in the best of health. A few weeks later Mr. Greer came to town himself and soon had everybody believâ€" ing that he was very much alive. COn May 13th, 1919, Mrs. Geo. Mitâ€" chell, of Cobalt, acting as organizing secretary of the Daughters of the Emâ€" pire, visited Timmins and addressed a large gathering of ladies here on the aims, objects and usefulness of the Imâ€" f | perial Order of the Daughters of the | Empire. Mrs. Mitchell touched upon the work of the 1.O.D.E. before, during and after the war. There were then 750 chapters of the order with a memâ€" bership of 50,000. It was decided at the meeting to organize a Timmins branch to be known as Timmins Goldâ€" en Chapter 1.0.D.E. The motto chosâ€" en for the new chapter was:â€""Deeds will prove our worth." Mrs. Mitchell was then made honorary regent but declined the honour, suggesting that this honour be given to Mrs. Alexander, who was the oldest subject of King George present at the meeting and who had declined nomination as president This suggestion was followed and so Mrs. Alexander was named as the first honorary president of Timmins LO.D. E. The other officers were elected as follows:â€"Regent, Mrs. J. A. McInuis; first viceâ€"regent, Miss Ellen Copps; seâ€" cond viceâ€"regent, Mrs. L. E. Dorway: secretary, Mrs. Gordon D. Mitchell: Echoes‘ secretary, Mrs. Digby Grimâ€" ston; Educational secretary, Mrs. R. Allen; treasurer, Mrs. J. P. Taillon; standard bearer, Mrs. A. F. Carriere. Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"*"Bomâ€"In Timmins, on Saturday, May 19th, 1919, to Mr. and Mrs. Duff Allen, formerly of Timmins, but now of Monteith,â€"a daughter." "Miss Marjorie Baker, who for the past fourteen months has been staying with her sister Mrs. Secord Robinson, at Valor, Sask., returned to town on Tuesâ€" cay of last week." "Private A. Desorâ€" ; I C f ; g \s o i C A oA â€"~â€"+ The coroner‘s jury enquiring into the death of Peter John, the Bulgarian who died ten years ago after an acciâ€" dent at the Dome returned a verdict finding death due to accident. The Jjury considered that the evidence provâ€" ed the unfortunate man was the only one to blame for the accident, he having disobeyed orders in regard to safety. He was crushed by a car, having failed to see that the switch was onen. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "Messrs Alex Simpson and G. Hicks, formerly of Haileybury, but recently employed in the mechanical departâ€" ment of the Hollinger, have opened a new plumbing shop on Spruce street, just opposite the freight sheds. Both these gentlemen are experts in their line, and intend to make a specialty of sheet metal work, plumbing and heatâ€" ing systems. As they are returned soldiers, and also experienced and skillâ€" ed in the plumbing and metal trades, they should receive a fair share of the custom and confidence of the public.

Kert, of Englehart, takes charge toâ€"day as the new manager of the CGoldfields hotel." "Mr. Geo. M. Black, who for some time was on military serâ€" and Smelter Workers‘ Union who spoke | vice, returned this week to the camp, here. The Advance gave extended space to the report of Mr. Lord‘s adâ€" dress, and also to thoughtful addresses byâ€" Messrs Wm. DeFeu and L. S. Newâ€" ton. The addresses showed the speakâ€" ers were all seeking to better their conâ€" ditions and that they had faith in their fellows as well as some belief in the honesty and kindness of others. "We are not stopping to blame anyone in particular for the present unjust and inequitable conditions. We are simply trying in our own way to work out ar economic plan that will bring the greatest happiness and good to the greatest number. The survival of all, not the survival of the fittest. True democracy and freedom for all." These were among the direct quotations made from Mr. Lord‘s address. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "Messrs Alex Simpson and G. Hirks! taking a position at the Porcupine Crown." "Capt. Frank Francis, of the firm of Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis, who returnâ€" ed to his home in New Liskeard after several years‘ service overseas, was a visitor to Timmins last week, being warmly greeted by his many friends in the ~camp." "The little 2â€"yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Richardâ€" son met with an unfortunate acciden» last week, but is now on the way to complete recovery and will be none the worse for the unlucky mishap. The little girl was playing in front of her home and a delivery rig taking goods to a house nearby, was suddenly turned ‘ and collided with the youngster, the1 driver apparently not seeing the child.

Anything that helps to build better citizenship is asâ€" suredly worth while, so towns like Barâ€" rle and Timmins where there are eduâ€" ,cational "industry" payrolls that at first glance appear large are to be conâ€" gratulated on the genuine economy iand good business that is really repreâ€" With all the bran of the wholec wheat Children playing with matches are thought to have been responsible last week for a fire in a vacant house at Cobalt.

A special point to be noted in regard to the educational "industry" payroll is that the municipality does not have to foot the whole bill. There are liberal grants from the government in the matâ€" ter. This is especially true in regard to the teciuinical school where the Governâ€" ment pays as high as fifty per cent of the salaries involved. If the town had to pay the whole bill it would be money | _ This is an impressive statement and The Advance wondered hnow the payroll , {here in Timmins compared with that ;lat Barrie. The figures show that the f ' salaries in Timmins for the educational "industry‘"‘ as The Examiner phrases it total $98,000.00. This includes the _|salaries of the janitors in the public |schools, but with this item off the |figure still exceeds $90,000,000 for the technical, high and public schools. _|Adding the cost of salaries paid out in the separate schools would run the total over $100,000.00 a year. A payâ€" roll of this size necessarily means an important ‘"industry," and no one who gives thought and study to the matter . will deny that the educational indusâ€"â€" try is one of the most important and farâ€"reaching in its results upon the community. Almost anything spent for education is money well invested and will more than pay big profits on the investment. This is particularly true of the technical school where young boys are receiving a special training that doubly equips them to go out and succeed in the battle of life. A man with a trade or profession has two chances to the one held by the unâ€" educated man. _A lad of fifteen had the right idea last year when he very ,'earnestly told a friend:â€""I‘ve just got to get a trade. A fellow without a trade hasn‘t any chance to get along." | A man with a trade or profession may be able to use a pick and shovel in case he can get no otheér employment but the man without education in any special line can not step from comâ€" mon labour to any other line when work is scarce. nted by such expenditures An editorial note in The Barrie Exâ€" aminer last week says:â€""One of Barâ€" rie‘s largest industries is its educational system. It has a payroll of $75,000 a year." Money Well Invested in Payrolls of This Kind ‘"Cobalt has also organized a football league for this year." "Mr. L.

"A prospecting party which travelled the Bell River on the way to Mattaâ€" gami Lake some years ago made its first acquaintance with\ sturgeon. None of the Ontario boys in the party had ever seen the fish before, nor had they heard of its peculiarities One morning the cook roused the camp with a series of yells When the boys rushed out he pointed to the river, which appeared to be alive with movâ€" ing objects. Investigation showed that the sturgeon were running. They adâ€" vanced up the stream in almost a solid mass, hugeo bodies partly out of the water. The prospectors got into the shallower part of the stream and wrestled with the fish, throwing them on shore. Some weighed 50 to 60 pounds. Hurriedly a small creek was damned with stones and the live sturâ€" geon heaved into the pool. The party had fish for a week, until a heavy rain raised the creek and swept away the temporary dam. Incidentally, eye witâ€" nesses of the sturgeon run said it was a wonderful sight, and that they would not have believed that the northern lakes held fish in such quantities if they had not seen them."
