The late Mrs. Gauthier was one of the bestâ€"known and most highly esâ€" teemed of the women residents of the North. For twentyâ€"five years the famâ€" ily have been resident of Cobalt, Mrs. Gauthier coming there in the earliest days of Cobalt. The late Mrs. Gauthier was widely known and most highlyâ€"reâ€" garded in Cobalt, and in Timmins where there are relatives am innumerable friends who knew her in the early days of Cobalt there will be very sincere reâ€" gret at her death and deep sympathy extended to the bereaved relatives. The late Mrs. Gauthier was a sister of Fred LaRose who first discovered silver in Ccobalt and after whom the famous Laâ€" Rose mine at Cobalt was named. The late Mrs. Gauthier was closely associâ€" ated with the commencément of the nowâ€"famous Cobalt mining camp and in her residence at Cobalt saw the area grow to world renown. During the quarter century that she spent in Coâ€" balt, the late â€"Mrs. Gauthier saw many striking changes in Cobalt camp, and many former residents of the district m all parts of the North and far beâ€" yond that large area will remember her with high regard. She passed away peacefully last Friday, death being due to heart trouble. WELLâ€"KNOWN NORFH M . WOMAN CALLED BY DEATH Mrs. Damase Gauthicr Lived in Cobalt for 25 Years.

There were many spiritual offerings and floral tributes to express the high regard in which she was held by wide circles of friends and the deep affection given her by relatives. In the softball match last night beâ€" tween the Holly Stores and the Mâ€"E‘s there were several times when a break would have changed the result of the game. As the luck went the Holly Stores won the pitched baitle 5 to 3. Now the Mâ€"E‘s only chance is that the Holly Stores may lose to some of the other teams. The break for Holly Stores came in the fifth innings with the bases full. Hudson hit the ball to second; P. Walsh elected to throw the ball to third, making a poor throw; the baseman muffed the ball, letting in the two winning runs. L. Laflamme was the big noise for the Holly Stores.

Company of Algonquin g nt Awarded Cup for Most [E nt Ceompany at the Annua mp at New Liskeard Beach. cup stands about three feet in height including the mahogany base and is a trophy worth the winning for the year for possession of so outstanding a trophy as well as for the honour implied by its award for the year. This cup is awarded each year for the most efficient company in the brigade at the camyj;, and the company of the Algonquin Regiment from Timmins and the Porâ€" cupine won the trophy this year on merit, being adjudged as clearly the most efficient company at the camyp. The winning of this trophy for the year is a high honour to both officers and men. The cup has been on display here since the return of the company from the camp and has roused much interest and flattering comment. The Porcupine company this year comprisâ€" ed 29 men and three officers, the officâ€" ers being:â€"Canmt. H. A. McDougall, of Ssouth Porcupine; Lieut Keith Stirling, of Timmins, and Lieut. D. McLellan, of South Porcupine. The first summer military camp to be held in the Temiskaming District broke up on Thursday morning last after a ten days‘ camp. It was the 22nd Infantry Brigade, comprising the Alâ€" gonquin Regiment, of which the Porâ€" cupine company was a part, the Owen Sounds Greys, the Simeoe Foresters and the Northern Pioneers of Huntsvilie. There were about 600 soldiers at the camp, and those returning here say that the camp was one of the best ever held. They say that New Liskeard Beach is an ideal place for a camy and that the people of the town and disâ€" trict were most kindly and hospitable. Officetrs and men alike are agreed on this. The officers and men from this district were also particularly pleased to be under the command of Col. Geo. E. Cole, a former popular mining inâ€" spector of thse Porcupine, and always keenly interested in militia matters. Col. Cole is now chief mining inspector for Manitoba, with headquarters at Winnipeg, but he has retained his afâ€" fection for the Algonquin Regiment and so attended the camp as officer in com=â€" mand of this regiment. He has a very creditable war record to add to his long and able conection with the militia. There was perhaps a little too much rain to make this year‘s camp a perâ€" fect one, but despite this slight drawâ€" back it is agreed by all that the camp was a complete success. During the camp the officers and men were shown around the farming section and all were surprised at the notable agriculâ€" tural development, those from the south being especially impressed, noi having expsected to see such fine farms in Temiskaming district. During the camp there were very impressive proceedings in connection with the decoration of thie cenotaph. The review of the troops on the golf grounds was another feature that atâ€" tracted much attention from the people of New Liskeard and district. There were also a number of very interesting athletic contests, the Simcoe Foresters winning most of the championships. The camp had much good music, there beâ€" ing four bugle bands in addition to the Barrie band which latter organization is connected with the Simcose Foresters. The Porcupine company of the AlIâ€" gonquin Regiment returned home last week from the annual summer camp, held this year at New Liskeard Beach, and they brought home with them the Cochraneâ€"Dunlop trophy for yearly comp>tition. This handsome â€" silver Mrs. M. J. Lawlor, now of Sudbury, but one of the pionser residents of Timihins and district, returned Aere on Saturday for a visit to friends in town. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY KIWANIS GLUB HEAR ABOUT THE MINE RESGUE STATION Austin Neame, superintendent of the Ontario Government Mines Rescue Station at Timmins was the speaker for the day at the weekly luncheon ofsthe Timmins Kiwanis Club on Monâ€" day. His address was a most interestâ€" ing one while the large attendance of members present were well pleased with the information presented in such attractive form by Mr. Neame. The mines rescue station at Timmins has been established now for some months and its value is apparent. It is deâ€" signed to prove a valuable ally in the case of any mine accidents and, stiil better, to prove a force tending to nrevent accidents by the information given out and the knowledge and skill along certain lines given out. The Timmins mines rescue station was the first of its kind in Ontario, indeed, in Canada, and if is very completery equipped with the most upâ€"toâ€"date apâ€" pliances for the training of men in the extensive equipment at the station as well as in means and methods for avoiding accidents and dealing with emergencies. Mr. Neame detailed the equipment at the station here, which was now one of several similar instiâ€" tutions: of the kind in the province, and he explained very fully the work of the McKay breathing apparatus, a sample of which he had with him. There are twelve of these at the mines rescue station here. The McKay breathing apparatus, Mr. Neame exâ€" plained can be used with perfect safeâ€" ty to the wearer in any kind of atmosâ€" phere. It is truly a lifeâ€"saver in the case of gases or noxious vapours, the the wearer being safe and comfortable to work in poisonous atmosphere for two hours at a stretch. The oxygen container of this equipment is loadea at a pmressure of 2,000 lbs to the square inch, this pressure being regulated to the lungs of the operator by a special valve. The total weight of the McKay breathing apparatous is about forty pounds, but it is designed and arrangea so that it can be worn with considerâ€" able comparative comfort. Mr. Neame said that already there had been some 65 men trained at the mines rescue station here in the use of the lifeâ€"savâ€" ing equipment, and still others are in course of bsing traimed. Othsrs will be taken on from time to tims,. the plan being to have as largs a number of men in the mines of the Porcupin: fully trained and ready in case any emergency should arise. Incidentally Mr. Neame mentioned that the use oi pure oxygen in the apparatus was not injurious as some might think none of the men who had used the aprnrratus in training had suffered any illâ€"effects in any way. Indeed, there were cases where its use had been beneficial, both indigestion and insomnia being among the ills that the pure oxygen was credâ€" ited with relieving or curing. Interesting and Informative 4d on Monday at Regular We Lunch. Austin Neame Exâ€" plains McKay Breathing Apparatus. The Kiwanis Club greatly appreciatâ€" ed the address and demonstration by Mtr. Neame. Preparations are now under way by the Timmins Kiwanis Club for a big street dance in the near future. The date is not yet set, but it may 'be Augâ€" ust 6th. A definite date and further particulars will be announced later. A committee is working on the matter at present, and it would appear to be well worth while for all to watch and wait for the full particulars of the Kiâ€" wanis street dance. In reporting on the golf situation, it was pointed out that there had been a very pleasant time last week in the match between the Kiwanis and Ho!â€" linger golfers. At that event there had been a total of 22 players and a most successful event. This week, it was dscided, the Kiwanis golfersâ€" should play among themselves and good matches were looked for. Mrs. Jas. Cran, of Toronto, is visiting at the home of her mother, Mrs. Wm. McCracken. p‘l ne 2 lobants LAKE WINS FROM U â€"MINTYRE AT TIMMINS 15â€"8 Kirkland Lake trimmed the MciInâ€" tyre baseball team 15 to 8 in yesterâ€" day‘s match here in the Temiskaming Baseball League series of senior ball. The game was a good one from a spectator‘s standpoint, but the result rather a surprise as it was scarcely expected that the Kirkland Lake lads could defeat the championship team lof the North by so decisive a score. It was a regular swatting contest and the visitors had the best of it. The game was the opening one in the second half oi the schedule and was played on the Timmins athletic grounds before a big crowd who saw lots of hits, runs and errors. _ Little pitched good ball for Kirkland Lake and held McIntyre to eight runs while they collected 14 hits. LPmgdon was touched for eleven hits in seven innings for eleven â€" runs. Humphries pitched the last two innings and allowed five hits and four runs.

Another Band Concert Sunday, Rain or Shine I Visitors at Gillies Lake on Sunday afternoon say that but for the prompt and effective action of Jos. Minor a small boy would have lost his life in the water. There were many people at | this favourite bathing place, and the father of the little lad was among the number. They had bathing suit on the little fellow who appeared to be‘ only three or four years old and were allowing him to play in the shallow water at the beach. When noticed by | cthers the child was in no danger, but | his parents on the bank turned attenâ€"| tion away for a moment or two and the | | child apparently wandered into a little | ideeper water. In a minute he disapâ€" ‘ peared. No one noticed this but Mr.! Minor who did not lose an instant but! | waded out into the water. He found | | the child lying on his back in about' three feet of water. Mr. Minor wa,ded‘ out until the water was up past his waist and scooped the youngster up in his arms and carried him to safety.| The whole thing was done so quickly' | that the child was not harmed and was | all right again in a few minutes and | none the worst for this narrow escape. IPeople who saw the incident say that | only for the quick presence of mind iand prompt action of Mr. Minor the | | child would have been in grave danger f | of drowning. After the rescue, which | Mr. Minor made light off, he went up ‘ on the bank and sat down to dry out, ‘ as he said, before starting back to town,| as he had rushed into the water with | all his clothes on and had had to wade | out far enough to get quite wet. | LARGE ENTRY L1ST NOW FOR SFCOND ANNUAL BIG SWIM Ssome "Dark Horses" to be Entered.

Earle realizes that though bad enough, the accident might have proven much worse," entries must be in by Saturday of this week. Entrants may leave names with either Col. Scobel or At about halfâ€"past three this (Thursâ€" day) morning the Timmins firemen had a call to the Hyâ€"Way Service Staâ€" tion at the subâ€"way, but after a brief but effective battle the fiames were extinguished before very serious damâ€" age was done. The flames did some damage and there was more Gamage from the water and smoke but the solid construction of the building and the good work of Chief Borland and his men avoided danger of more serious results from the blaze. The fire startâ€" ed in the basement of the handsome building. Some papers and other waste materials were being burned in the furâ€" ace when a lighted piece of paper or other waste fell on tne filoor from the furnace and the oil on the floor took fire. In a very short time there was a nasty fire in progress, the oil on the cement floor making a fierce blaze and a suffocating amount of smoke. Woodâ€" work caught fire and there was other danger from the blaze. The fire briâ€" gade was called by phone and were on the scene instantly and at once went to work in their usual effective way. The big chemical tank was tried out but the blaze had too much headway for this and the water was turned on. In less than twenty, minutes the fire was all out and everything safs. There was quite a heavy body of fire in the building when the firemen arrived but the smoke was even worse. The good construction of the building from the fire standpoint was what prevented a more damaging fire. The cement fioor, while of course much better than a wooden one :n the matter of fire, stin made a runway for the oil to blaze along with woodwork being damaged. The good work of the brigade, however, soon put the building out of any dangâ€" er. The majority of the people in town knew nothing of the fire until long after it was extinguished, it being a still alarm. FIRE IN SERVICGE STATION DID SOME DAMAGE TOâ€"DAY During the weekâ€"end the second of the games between the McIntyre baseâ€" ball team, champions last year for both Northern Ontario and the Eastern Onâ€" tario Baseball Association, and holders of The Ottawa Journal cup, and the Timmins Allâ€"Stars, which latter team is the same as the Timmins Juniors. #he Timmins Juniors won the firsi game on July 1st by a score of 2 to 1, giving them a 1lâ€"run lead. The game this week was won by the McIntyre alâ€" so by a 1â€"run lead, the score being 6 to 5. The final and decisive game in this series of exhibition matches, deâ€" signed to show the two classy baseball teams of the district in action and to give fans more of the best sort of baseâ€" ball, will be held on the afternoon of civic holiday in Timmins, August 4th, at 4.30. It should be a dandy game as both teams.will be on their toes. In this week‘s match the teams lined up as follows:â€" Timmins:â€"Lafiamme, 2b; Dainton, cf; Charlebois, 3b; Davis, 1b; Donovan, rf; Leng, If; Beaulne, If; Rimaldi, ss; Poitras, c; Godin, p.

The score by innings was as follows: Timmins .. .... 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 3â€"§ MciIntyre .............. 0 0 1 0 4 0 0 1 Oâ€"6 Second of Exhibition Games Between The fans were well pleased with tne match, both R%eams playing fine baseâ€" ball. The McIntyre had their regular lineâ€"up with the exception of Langdon and Jemmett. The Timmins lads did better in the hitting than the chamâ€" pion senior team, but this better hitâ€" ting was not translated into runs so it did not count. In addition the rooters for McIntyre sugested that the boys would not be able to hit Langdon as much if he were in the box. However, McIntyre and Timmins fans alike aâ€" greed that the Juniors put up nice baseball and that the game was a treat. Two innings went by without a score but in the third time to bat McIntyres made one. Then in the fifth innings the McIntyres seemed to cinch the game by making a string of four runs. Instead of discouraging the Allâ€"Stars, however, this simply made them tightâ€" en up and centre their efforts on knockâ€" ing out the lead against them. In the sixth innings Timmins got two with three more in the last frame, but as McIntyre got one in the eighth the game finished with the senior chamâ€" pions one ahead. In the ninth innings it looked for a time as if the score might be tied but the chance passed. However, it was a nice game to watch and further added to the increasing interest here in hard ball.
