Â¥ Complete harmony has been restc to the Liberal party ranks in Timn according to official information gi The Advance. After the election year some dificuities arose® betw two sections of the party. There m two associationsâ€"one for provin affairs, formed before the provin election and helping materially in winning of that electionâ€"and sther instituted after the election tensibly for Dominisn matlters. Jominion association was reported favouring the discharge of all gove ment emplsyees and the filling of places with those of Liberal party al jiations. The provincial association the other hand held that what 1 needed was men in government e ploy ta do their work well, irrespect of party affiliations; and that g public servants should not be discha ed except for fair cause. This attit: was believed to be both good busin and good politics.

Recent announcements made by Dr. Fimpson, Minister of Education, sugâ€" gest that the cost of maintaining the academy at Monteith is altogether too great in proportion to the work that is felt to be accomplished. When Dr. Himpson was in Timmins last year he suggested that something would be done in regard to the Monteith Acaâ€" demy as its usefulness was not proporâ€" tionate to its cost in his belief. He said, however, that the matter wo‘?ld be given the fullest study and considerâ€" ation before any change would be made. More recent announcements suggest| that a change is imminent.

The collection of the fees for dog licenses is a more or less difficult job each year, and some days recently the_returns seeined, hardly worth the effort necessary Other days Friday and Saturday last, for example, were good days and a neat amount was colâ€" lected on these days. The work is being carried on by Constable Olson, and it would appear to be the part of wisdom on the part of dogâ€"owners to see that they pay the taxes on all their dogs. Now there is only the dog taxes to pay, but it these taxes are not paid now there will be costs and inconvenience added. The dogs without tags will be liable to be impounded and the owners of unlicensed dogs will be liable to be called to court and have costs added to the license fees and the fines imâ€" posed. Eventually it will be necessary to pay the dog taxes. Why not do it at once and save the chance of losing the dog as well as the inconvenience and costs of a court appearance. Save Money and Comfort by Paying Dog Tax Now Major Urquhart‘s stay here is scheâ€" duled as from Feb. 1st to Feb. 7th. All are welcome to these meetings. There is an "extra special" for Wedâ€" nesday evening of this week, Feb. 6th.

Major Urquhart will speak on "Three Magic Bottles." There should be very general interest in the visit to town this week of Major T. Urquhart, of Toronto, known as the "musical wizard," because of his wonâ€" derful skill on some thirtyâ€"six differâ€" ent musical instruments. Commencing on Priday Major Urquhart is conductâ€" ing special services at the Salvation Army citadel here and all attending are finding the proceedings pleasing and inspiring.

The theatre nights last year at the Timmins High and vocational School won very decided interest and approval and the event this year is sure to prove especially popular. Announceâ€" ment is made that the theatre nights this year at the High and Vocational School will be on Thursday, Feb. 14th, and Friday, Feb. 15th. In each case the event will commence at 8.15 p.m. There is a large amount of dramatic talent among the students at the school, and judging from last year‘s successes the theatre nights this year will be unusually pleasing. the game toâ€"night. Hockey fans should be pleased with the advantages given them in the admission fees for this game. The price of admission for adults is kept down to the nominal rate Cf twentyâ€"five cents, while adults may take in two children free with them on this low rate.

The injury though painful will not prove serious, In â€" connection with the present campaign for the Boy Scocut movement in Canada, effort is being made to cxâ€" tend Boy Scout work in Timmins. For many years past there has been a troop of the Boy Scouts in Timmins, but the general feeling among those interested in boys‘ work is that this town is large enough for several troops of Boy Scouts and that in any case the number of active Boy Scouts here should be very largely increased. With this idea in mind a meeting of all interested in the Boy Scout movement or in boys and their progress and happiness is called for Friday evening, Feb. 15th, in the town hall. The meeting will begin at 8 o‘clock and the largest possible atâ€" tendance is desired.
