some time ago but not thinking a cerâ€" tain pLace looked deep enogh, like Old | «q Bill they went seeking "The Better | w ‘Ole" and found that it was not on the | y public highway. However, this proved | pp to be the wrong hole and Moneta came | 2y in about a dozen strong to explain t0o | m thom where the "worser ‘ole" really was. | ou It is probably graded and filled in by i in now as the engineer had located it just [co; the week before. There was @lso !pp petition for water for residents at the | lower end of Pine street, south, at Timâ€" | 4; mins, in Moneta. As this is all sand | pp the work can be expedited more than if | yf there were rock. But sewers cannot be | y put in, in this locality without theit 1 vye bing extra septic tanks in Timmins. | ay A man from Gillies wanted to know | ye where to make application for theéelif |ep water but was told that in that locality | g; the engineer would take forms to each | };y resident to fill out. Again the attenâ€" | n tion of the council was called to the | p; fact that some peorle gave charity to | y indigents without having the authority | 1,; of the ccuncil and then expected the |p; council to repay them. In future any | an such case will receive but scant conâ€" | n sideration as anyone expecting to be | y reâ€"imbursed for charity given, must}js, first have the authority of the council ‘s ta give it. Several charity cases were | considered. The Hollinger wanted to | Q, change the location of a nipe line in | an schumacher. This was granted but n plan was asked to be furnished Tisdale | yz for future reference. A letter re the ipr founding of an Old Man‘s Home at| y; New Liskeard was considered but the |p ccuncil thought they were not quite |p:« ready yet to decide what they could do| a: towards it, The reeve and councillors | themselves still feel quite youthful. | q; Tha rcutine wages and acccunts were |py passed for payment. The Hallowe‘en masquerade ball givâ€" | ag en in the Continuation School here on | ap Friday lass under the auspices of the | south Porcupine Fire Department was sp an cutstanding success. Many quote it |7; as the best dance ever given in this prart | w of the camp. The night was ideal, the | m music of Tommy Stephens‘ orchestra ;;, was as good or better than ever, and | jo all entered into the spirit of fun thaAt | no prevailed during the evening. Fully |te ninsty per cent. on the crowded dance w floor were in "make up‘" of some kind. let Many of the costumes were wonderfully | a+ rich and colcurful, which others were | w; the limit for being ludicrous. The ;n spirit of rowdyism sometimes found in | a public affair on Hallowe‘en was pracâ€" !Vi tically lacking. Every one was there to f po enjoy the fun and help the other felâ€" pa low enjoy it, teo. The hall was colourâ€" ful with evergreens, shaded lights, and } R: Hallowe‘en effects in decoration. It | of was a serious problem to pick out five | n JG WI prize winners from those in costume. There were so many others just as good in their line as those chosen, that the five judges had a difficult time agreeing among themselves.

The council of Tisdale township met on Wedne:day evening of last week with the reeve and all the councillors present. The meeting had ‘been postâ€" poned from Monday owing to the illness of the reeve.

Notics of the adâ€" vertisement elsewhere in this issue will serve to convince Timmins buyers that this firm is endeavouring to makse their third anniversary sale an outstanding one, with a list of worth while bargains, and a few suggestions for early Christâ€" mas shoppers who are here offered an opportunity to save money, this list beâ€" ing particularly cpportune in view of the fact that the Yuletide season is but forty shopping days away. "when he (the general manager) acâ€" cused me of selling gold four times last year, $1,600 worth in all." Mr. Lago demanded to be faced by his accusers, to be arrested and prosecuted. Nothing was done about it. He has been unâ€" able to secure particulars of the alleged accusations against him or the source whence they came. He has written to the attorneyâ€"general, but received no reply. He has written to Inspector Moore at Cobalt and the commissioner of provincial police. Sergeant Gardiner on March 6th told Lago that he was not the man he was locking for and that ke had so informed the general manager, and this the general manager next day confirmed, saying he would again give him a job, but not the same one as before. He was put to work on the scrap heap. The manager declares to Lago that he accuses him of nothing; tha provincial police declare they do not accuse him. Mr. Lago asks, "Who doss accuse me?" and can get no anâ€" swer. His reputation has been taken away, his tenâ€"year responsible jJob is goneâ€"and there is nothing he can do about it but write a letter to the press. "It does seem that Mr. Aurelio Lago of Timmins has had a rather raw deal. He appears to have been the innocent victim of cireumstances and of suspiciâ€" ons which somebody else had probably made to point in his direction rather than in his own. This is a tough world sometimes and a just man may get far less than a square deal." toes, etc., composed by the Firemen for the occasion. Owing to the throng many did not get reading them and by request we are reproducing some of the best:â€""Special winter rates on bush fires. Hot stuff." "Oh! where is my wondering boy toâ€"night? Echo from any Schumacher Fireman‘s home." "Ain‘t he light on ‘her feet?" "Park all crocks with the chief." "Hold Everyâ€" thing," says the Captain." "This is our nite off, seys who?" "Our ladders are tested by the Chief. Get the hock?" "Don‘t clean your pirrs or chimneys! We need the money. «Fires, wholesalse and retail. Our hose is treated. Watch nsur smoke!" â€" "Last year without the chisf w> won the prize for the best lookinz brigade. This year he paraded. Nuff sed." ‘"Where there‘s a will, there‘s a way. But who can say Will‘s away when he‘s away, anyway!" "Household tips:â€"Don‘t cache your liquor in the fire distinguishâ€" er." "Theme songâ€"*"What‘s yours? Fireman, Fireman save my chila."

On the 19th of that month he was handed his "time slip"‘â€"hs was discharged. He wanted to know the reason, but nobody could tell him. He asked for and secured an appcintment with the gznsral manâ€" ager of the mine. Two strangers were present at the interview, who, Mr. Laâ€" z0 learned next day, were provincial policscmen. "Imagine the shock I reâ€" ceived," writes Mr. Lago in his letter, "Mr. Aurelio Lago, of Timmins, Ont., has a grievance and he sets it forth in a lengohy letter in The Porcupine Adâ€" vancs., It somsetimes happens that a man meets with an injustice from which he suffers much, but he can find no remedy for it., Mr. Lago of Timâ€" mins appears to be in that position. "Mr. Lago was employed in the Holâ€" linger ming. He was one of the first sroup cf men who went there and for years, until last February, was emâ€" ployed in the refinery.

They parâ€" ticularly acpreciate the number who attended from neighbouring towns in spite of many coun:er altrac.:ions. In an editorial in its issue of Tussâ€" day, Nov. 4th, The Toronto Star says:â€" The Dominion Dollar Stores are operated by Sky Bros. Their slogan is: "Nothing over a dollar," and their pracâ€" tice, to judge from their advertisement in this issue, is to give a great deal for a dollar. The new Timmins store is at 154 Pine street, south, the premises having been handsomely appointed, with attractive modern front, and the stores are stocked to the limit with literally hundreds of articles that are big value at one dollar. some slight idea of the wonderful array of useful and desirable articles that may be bought for a dollar. A visit to the store itself will still further impress this point. A hearty invitation is exâ€" tended to all to visit the Dominion Dolâ€" lar Stores on the day of the formal opening, Saturday of this week. An uAhusual type ¢f store but one that promises to be popular with the pubâ€" lic will open in Timmins on Saturday when the Dominion Dollar Stores will commence business here,. ‘The store hore is to be one of a chain of similar stores to retail merchandise at $1.00. The full page advertisement elsewhere in this issue shows the wide range of gsood carried and the remarkable values cbtainable at this store at $1.00. The limited number of listed gives Urges Square Deal for Aurelio Lago, Timmins THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO HEAVY FINE FOR GASHING â€"FRIEND‘S HEAD WITH BONE W. H. Tonkin was charged with illegâ€" al possession of liquor, having no perâ€" mit. As it was his second conviction against him under the Liquor Control Act, he was given a term of three months at Haileybury. A charge a woman living on Wilson avenue of lllegally having liquor was dismissed, as it was shown that the woman‘s husâ€" band was at home and he was the head of the house under the law. Sunday evening about nine o‘clock Stanislaw Myrda went into the polics station with blosd coming from several bad cuts in his head. He said that the injuries had been inflicted by Jos. Las, at 211 Pine street, south, rear. where Myrda, Las and two others were living in shack. The police seni | Myrda at once to a doctor who found it necessary to use several stitches to close the wounds in the head and face. lThe police at the same time went out to the Moneta shack where they:found Las lying on the bed. He had evidentâ€" ly been in a fight, having a number of scratches on his face. It was thought at first that the injured man had been stabbed with a knife, but the police disâ€" covered that instead of a knife a sharp bone ecvidently from a pig‘s foot had been used as the weapon. It had cerâ€" tainly proved an effective implement of torture to judge from the severe injuries inflicted. Las was locked up and a charge of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm was laid against him. He came before Magistrate Atâ€" kinson in police court yesterday on this charse and after the hearing of the evidence he was fined $50 and costs and also ordsered to pay $50.00 damages to the complainant. A. C. Brown deâ€" fended the accused, while the Crown Attorney, S. A. Caldbick, conducted the prosecution. The evidence showed that the trouble arose over the ririce of somse furniture bought for the shack and for which each of the four men using the place were to pay equal shares. Jos. Las was the purchaser of the furniture and he said the price was $25.00, while Myrda said it was only $16.00. The two men quarrelled over this dispute, but were separated, the one being kept n one room and the other in another part of the house. Eventually, however, they both got together in the bedroom and resumed the quarrel. Las got Myrda down on the bed and using the bone as a weapon wielded it with such effect that it locked for a little whilsa like as if it might be close to a case of Myrda. Both the men concerned in the case mre Russian Poles. On acâ€" count of the nature of the dispute Myrâ€" da may say that he was boned for money, while viewing the total cost for him, some hundred and thirty dolâ€" lars, Las may feel that he certainly pulled a bone play. As will be seen by the announcement elsewhere in this issue the Curtis Drug Store will be opened Saturday in the premises formerly occuried by the Doâ€" minion Stores on FPine Street. The opening occasion is being featured by many attractive offerings and also by the giving free to customers of roses. Mr. D. B.
