The eyes and mose run, the dog gets nervous and weak, and, in some cases, turns danâ€" gerously cross. There is an epidemic of distemper among dogs in Timmins at present and a number of dogs have died as a result of the disease. Dr. L. H. Durkin, veterinary surgeon, says that the diâ€" sease is a very rare form of distemper and is highly contagious. He recomâ€" mends inoculation as a preventive against the disease. All dog owners are advised to have their dogs inocuâ€" lated so as to prevent the chance of losing valuable or prized dogs. The inoculation will prevent the dog inâ€" oculated from getting the disease, and it will also help retard the spreading of the disease. After a dog gets the disease its chances are not so good, though there is a serum treatment that has many cures to its credit. If the veterinary is called in early enough the serum treatment is likely to provide a cure, but the trouble has been that the veterinary has not been called in the most of the cases until the disease had such a grip that recovery was doubtful. While Timmins has lost a number of good dogs through this present epiâ€" demic of distemper, Timmins has esâ€" caped better than some places, for the epidemic seems to have been general throughout Canada. Calgary and the West have suffered particularly from the epidemic. It has also been bad in Toronto. Lindsay is another town that has suffered from the epidemic. It may be a fact, however, that the places mentioned have ,comparatively large numbers of valuable dogs and so the loss of the animals is more noticed than in other places. For many years Lindsay has had a comparatively large number of valuable dogs including many pedigreed animals. One C.N.R. conductor of Lindsay lost two police dogs pups valued at $50.00 each. A grocer in the town lost a valuable Irish setter. Ray Morden, of Lindsay, a dog fancier and breeder of dogs, has lost no less than 16 valuable dogs. The present epidemic of distemper has been a serious matter for dog fanâ€" ciers. There are people who may be inclined to say, "Oh, well, the town has too many useless dogs, anyway!" The fact, however, is that epidemics of this kind attack useful and valuable animals as much or more than it does the useâ€" less ones. As a matter of fact little is known here of the number of worthless dogs, if any, falling prey to the disâ€" temper epidemic. It is the valuable and prized animals that are brought to attention. . The worthless dog is alâ€" lowed to die, perhaps, without anyone worrying. When a valuable animal is attacked by the disease however, there is naturally anxiety and a hurried call for the veterinary. Rare Form of Distemper Attacks Dogs in Timmins and District. Epiâ€" demic has Taken Big Toll in Other Places. The Northern Miner last week says: "Last fall Geo. Jamieson, uncovered gold showings on his Kamiskotia proâ€" perty which is reported to be of imâ€" portance. For some years he has been quietly and persistently carrying out pitting, trenching and stripping operaâ€" tions and has received considerable enâ€" couragement. Mcst of the work has been concentrated on claims in southâ€" cast Robb township. Quite a wide zone carrying quartz and pyrite mineralizaâ€" tion is reported to pan gold easily and to have returned some high assays from grab samples. The values appear to be erratically distributed and for that reason a mill test is being made of a Work on the Jamieson Property in Kamiskotia reason a mill test is being made of a large bulk sample. It is planned to carry out exploration and development throughout the winter when enlarged cperations will be started. Gold has also ibeen secured from a number of other outcrops on the property, Very little work is going on at present in this area which was so active a few years ago during the copper boom. At that time a number of townships were staked and a number of sulphide ocâ€" currences revealed. Hollinger acquired currences revealed. Hollinger acquired the discovery property from Mr. Jamicâ€" son and carried out a programme of diamond â€" drilling and underground work MIGHER FUR PRICES NOW REFPORTED FROM MOOSONEE According to word from the terminus of the T. N. 0. north of Cochrane, the fur trade is coming back into its own with the announceâ€" ment that pelt quotations in some inâ€" stances had reached new "highs" and were in all substantially improved. Select mink pelts were quoted at $110, a new high, and others, including lynx, beaver, otter, marten, weasel and fox, were set by local fur dealers at from 25 to 50 per. cent higher. With the increase in prices, however, came a scarcity of furâ€"bearing animals and trappers have brought back from the hunting grounds word of empty snares and too many rabbits. It was expected, however, that with the inâ€" creased prices prevailing a better stanâ€" dard of living and a better grub stake would be possible for the trappln$s Commenting on the recent forcing of the resignation of the chief of police of the town of Timmins, "for some reason or other, not divulged, or maybe for no reason at all," The Northern News comments as follows:â€"*"From this distance it looks as if the action of the Timmins Town Council smacks too much of American political monkeyâ€" shines. What the Town of Timmins requires, in respect to its police force, is a Police Commission to take the police department out of politics. They have them in Old Ontario cities and municipal councils have no say in polâ€" ice administration. The magistrate, the mayor of the municipality and the junior county or district judgeâ€"these fill the bill and fill it admirably, as a general rule." Anniversary services will be held at the United Church this Sunday. The anniversary preacher will be Rev. Geo. Easton, M.A.. BD., of St. Andrews United Church, North Bay. Rev. Mr. Easton‘s morning subject will be "Shifting Foundations", while his evenâ€" ing subject, particularly for young peoâ€" ple, will be, "The Present Crisisâ€"a Call for Character." It is hoped that all the members and friends of the congreâ€" gation will avail themselves of this special occasion. (Stratford Beaconâ€"Herald) We picked up the Sault Ste. Marie Star today and saw a twoâ€"column heading in very black type which said: "Says Woman Can‘t Have Beautiful Legs Before 28." Jim Curran may get away with that in Algoma, but if we tried it here we know the girl at the switchboard would be calling up to say: "There‘s a deputation here. Will you see them now?" Anniversary Services at United Church on Sunday DOESN‘T TAKE MUCH TO CAUSE A RIOT IN STRATFORD, ONT. The solution suggested by The Norâ€" thern News does not appear to be feasâ€" ible in the case of Timmins. At preâ€" sent the police magistrate resides at Haileybury and the county judge at Cochrane so that it would be difficult for these two members of the commisâ€" sion to keep in active touch with local police conditions in Timmins, though those who know will readily admit that the magistrate and judge are in posiâ€" tion to know . whether the. police force: does well or ill,. If Mr. Dean Kester‘s suggestion for a new judicial district for South «~Porcupine were / carried through, the police commission idea would be practical. A previous council that had some of the. same ways as the present one made an effort for the appointment of a magistrate for Timâ€" mins only. This, of course, would be possible if Timmins were ready to pay the salary of such an extra official. There is not enough police court busiâ€" ness to warrant such an outlay, esâ€" pecially in view of the fact that the present method has proved so satisâ€" factory to good citizens, though, of course, to those who seek to tamper with the laws of the land it may have its disadvantages. It is not a police commission that is needed so much as careful choice by the elector in the men for municipal office. Only on one octher cccasion in Timmins was .there a similar situation to the one referred to by The Northern News. That was another occasion when the voters forâ€" got themselves. It was remedied at the following election. Perfect working of any system is perhaps too much to exâ€" pect, but it may be said that the ordiâ€" nary method of control of the police by the council works all right provided all concerned "play the game" fairly and frankly.

Armstrong and sevenâ€" others are to be tried in Windsor as members of the alleged gold syndicate. At Armstrong‘s trial in Deâ€" troit before. Judge E. â€"J. Moinet,â€" the despatches say that evidence was given that Armstrong, f¢rmerly employed in a Canadian mine, had made 23 trips past United States customs officers in 18 months and had spold $76,000.00 worth of gold to U.S. authorities.

Englehart Curling Trophy Still Here Last week The Advance reported the visit of the Noranda Badminton playâ€" ers to the Porcupine Badminton Club for a friendly series of games. The Noranda players came here by planes chartered for the purpose. In referring to the visit to Porcupine The Rouynâ€" Noranda Press last week referred to the pleasure given the Norarda players by the visit. In this connection The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press said:â€" Porcupine Badminton Club Pleased Noranda Players "Local players were enthusiastic in their praises of the Porcupine club. Every convenience is to be found for both their social and playing members. A spacious club room, cuisine in charge of a chef, whose technique was proved beyond all doubt, lockers, rooms for ladies and men, showers, etc., left the Noranda people full of admiration and envy of their hosts." Two Riuks from Kirkland Lake Curling Club Make Attempt on Saturday to Lift Trophy Here for Three or Four Years. Kirkland Lake Curling Club sent up two rinks last Saturday to play for the Englehart trophy, but were unsuccessâ€" ful in their attempt to take it away from Timmins where it has rested for the past three or four years. Abrams‘ rink defeated Solomon by three, but Drew‘s rink had a margin of ten. After the match a luncheon was served at the curling rink and number of the local curlers joined in making the night a real success. The teams were: Kirkland Lake Timmins J. W.

Solsmon, 13 North Bay City Council Finally Acts Sensibly Last week people in general were astcunded at ‘the reports from North Bay to the effect that the fire and light committee of the city council had discharged the fire chief and his staff at North Bay. To see town and city coluncils work the spoils system or enâ€" force illâ€"will against individuals is no uncommon thing after an election, but to prejudice the safety and property of the people by drastic interference with the fire protection forces is rare indeed. It was recognized by all that the North Bay city council had not been in office long enough to justify any such action. North Bay, however, in response to public ¢cpinion expressed in various ways, last week rescinded the action of the fire and light committee, the counâ€" cil at a special meeting withdrawing the authority given the fire and light committee permitting drastic action of this kind. In the meantime, however, it was pointed out that the action of the committee was illegal and had it been proceeded with, North Bay could have been suged in the courts for the action taken. However, North Bay has recovered from its silly exhibition of wholesale dismissals, and will proceed, no doubt, to make any improvements needed, or thought to be needed, by acting in a more reasonable and orderâ€" ly way. ‘ Sydney Beanland, wellâ€"known in the Porcupine where he made his headâ€" quarters for some years, but more reâ€" cently residing at Haileybury, left on Wednesday of last week for trip to his old home in England. Despatches from Sudbury last week referred to the proposed highway from Sudbury to Timmins. One of the desâ€" patches says that a highway from Sudâ€" bury to Timmins was recommended to Premier R. B. Bennett and the recent interprovincial conference by the Naâ€" tional Construction Council of Canada, as one of the most pressing public works that should be undertaken as an emâ€" ployment project. This fact was given to the Sudbury board of trade last week in letter from I. Markus, secretary of the National Construction Council cf Canada. It was one of the few highway proâ€" jects that the council included in its $51,000,000 list of recommended public works. The estimated cost is $600,000. Recommend Sudbury to Timmins Roadway When the Sudbury Bcard of Trade was asked some weeks ago by the Naâ€" tional Construction Council to prepare a list of pressing public works in their district, the Sudbury board replied that it was concentrating all its energies on cne project, the Sudburyâ€"Timmins highway. In his letter to Mr. Edwards, presiâ€" dent of the Sudbury Board of Trade, Mr. Markus stated that the cost of alâ€" most all the works recommended are to be met by Dominion and Provincial Governments, and very few by muniâ€" cipalities. Though almost every board of trade had certain road work to reâ€" commend, only in isolated cases were the road recommendations passed on, as the total cost of all desired highway construction amsunted to some billions of dollars, The council also made no recommendations as to housing conâ€" struction programme, or work on the St. Lawrence waterways, though many municipalities listed them as desirable projects. Nationai Construction Board Urges Construction of Highway. Estiâ€" mates Cost at $600,000.00. Would Follow Hydro In selecting the most desirable works from the vast number suggested, the council kept in mind that the prime purpose was to provide employment, not only to labour but to architects and engineers. Despatches from Sudbury also referâ€" red to communications received from W. O. Langdon, president of the Timâ€" mins Board of Trade. A somewhat indirect or roundabsut route between Sudbury and Timmins to utilize to the greatest possible extent existing roads was recommended by the Timmins Board of Trade and ‘blue prints were prepared some years ago, president W. O. Langdon, of the Timmins body, inâ€" formed T. D. Edwards, president of the Sudbury board, last week. "‘The route suggested was from the Porcupine camp to Matachewan, thence through Elk Lake, Gowganda, Shining Tree, West Shining Tree, West Tree, Sellwood and to Sudbury," he said. "By following such route the suggested road would link all these mining camps, and the government would be able to take advantage of some large stretches of existing roads." "When the power transmission line was first under constpuction the Hon. Howard Ferguson was requested to conâ€" sider the feasibility of constructing a motor road at the same time but the reply received from the government was to the effect that such road was impossible, the cost of same rendering it prohibitive." While admitting that the pr3posed route was "roundabout" Mr. Langdon stressed the fact that it would open up a section of promising mining land, says the despatches from Sudbury. "Moreover," he continued, "this road would open up quite a number of loop roads for tourist traffic. This is a very vital factor so far as the Porcupine camp is concerned, inasmuch as at the present time we have only one means of ingress and egress and anyone conâ€" templating visit to the gold fields here is of necessity fo:ced to travel the same route. We believe tha; with the opening up cf this new route there will be a considerable increas2 in tourist traffic to tihese parts. a great boon towards solving the unâ€" employment relief problem concerning this camp." The Sudbury Star last week in an editorial note says:â€" "According to the Porcupine Adâ€" vance, the Timmins town council held six meetings in the space of six days, and four of them were "star chamâ€" ber‘"‘ sessions, of which no report was given to the press. Truly, in some inâ€" stances the ypublic is longâ€"suffering and patient, as affecting the transacâ€" tion of ts own business by its rtpreâ€" senta‘ive}." "We also obtained and forwarded to the government particulars showing the amount of land staked out for mining claims in the townships lying between the Porcupine camp and Matachewan, and there are a great number of proâ€" perties on which work is being done. We also pointed out to Hon, Wm. Finâ€" layson that it would not take so very much work to connect up these variâ€" ous links of road already in use, and that this particular work would prove Mr. Langdon concluded his ileter with the statement that the Sudbur;â€" Timmins road was endorsed by the Timmins Board of Trade, the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, and the Ontario MStor League.
