The death cccurred on Friday, (July 5th) at noon of Mr. Ross Hansen at his home on Broadway avenue, at the age of 74 years. The late Mr. Hansen had been ill (as the result of an accident at the Dome, when his hip was broken) for the past two years, and had been confined to his bed for five weeks. It was during a terrific hailstorm which All will recall, that the elderly man. while working on the Dome property, was blown from a stepâ€"ladder and reâ€" ceived injuries that necessitated several weeks‘ hospital treatment and from the results of which he never fully recovâ€" ered. He was born in Faarvang, Denâ€" mark, Oct. 6th, 1860, and came to Canâ€" ada with his parents at the age of 12 years, living at Bare Lake for some yoars. From there the family moved to Gravenhurst where he met and marâ€" ried Miss Anna Larsen. He was a capâ€" tain of boats on the Great Lakes for twenty years Moving to the farming area of Charlton with his family he was burnt out in the fire which swept that district in 1922, after which they moved to South Porcupine. He has been in the employ of the Dome Minecs since. â€" His widow survives him, and one son and four daughters. Two sisâ€" ters (Mrs. M. C.

He There are some big bears in the Denâ€" ton township area, says S. Reed, who was in Timmins this weekâ€"end after working a block of 22 claims in the district. One set of tracks he came upon measured seven inches in length and from four to five inches in width, he told The Advance, and although he‘s never seen the animal, he judsged it must weigh four or five hundred pounds. Numéerous tracks of other bears as well asâ€"many upturned stumps under which the big animals have been searching for insects give evidence that bears are by no means scarce this seaâ€" sgon.

Read the ads. They are the voices from hunâ€" dreds of thousands of looms, shops, foundries, studios, laboratories, where millions of minds are turning pleasant thoughts into worthâ€"while things for you and your family. The man or woman surrounded by be thoughts and things but who pays not slightest attention to them is not much h« off than the one with "nobody to play with, The originator of an idea is not much better off than before he originated it till he gets some one else to absorb it and enjoy it and benefit by it. The business of living, when boiled down and all the froth skimmed off, is just a matter of thinkâ€" ing. Each of us is continually thinking ideas of our own and swapping them for the ideas of others. If there is a famine of outside ideas we shrivel up ourselves. Children with "nobody to play with" are unhappy and unmanageable. From thinking with our heads to doing with out hands is but a little step and then our thoughts become things. 1ames New Public Drinking _ Fountain Installed ago when storekeepers of that district complained of the large number of school children who asked for drinks of water while on their way to or from school, the fountain is expected to fill a long felt need in the downtown secâ€" "tion. week The new fountai rather than a foot at Fine and Second Construction of a new public drinkâ€" ing fountain at the northâ€"west corner of Third avenue and Cedar street was begun by the Department of Public Works last week and the fixture was installed Saturday evening.
