When the boom crashed down on the dam, it moved the whole west side of the structure nearly a foot. in addition to tearing out the whole central section. Yesterday many Timmins people went out to see the turgid waters of Nich* Hawk pouring through the gap in the lda.m. The Advance was told that two men had been crossing the dam when the boom came down. They heard the timâ€" bers crack and raced for the other side, to reach it just as the dam went out. Had they teen caught at the midâ€"secâ€" tion, there is no doubt they would have been drowned in the torrent of water, or crushed to death by the tumbling log.. The Feldman company wired the deâ€" ‘partment of lands and forests. whose ]property the dam is, telling the present | condition but no reply had been received "this morning. They have 65.000 logs up ;at, Night Hawk that they will be unable | to move until the dam is repaired.

Much land was flooded in the Fredâ€" erickhouse area when the dam went out with a roar and 90 feet of it discâ€" appeared in the flood waters. The finad was receding yesterday, since the dam at FPrederickhouse lake, damaged last year, has not tyet been repaired. The level there was higher than it had been for 16 vears. The water in Night Hawk lake has fallen nearly three feet as a result of the dam at Connaught going out on Friday about midnight. Six thousand logs, property of the Feldman Timber company are probably lost and operaâ€" tions of the Feldman company and the Woollings mill at Connaught are held up, as the result of the breakinz of a huge boom of logs that had just been brought down from Night Hawk. Dam at Connaught Swept Away by Boom on Friday The Timmins Citizens‘® Band. under the leadership of F. J. Wolino, intends to start its series of open air concerts on Thursday evening of this week. The intention is to give a band concert at the band stand each Thursday evening during the summr. In case the weaâ€" ther makes it impossibie for the concert to be held on Thursday evening, the event will be given on Friday night, the purpose being to have one band concert a week and especially, if posâ€" sible, to have the concert on th» same night each weekâ€" Thursday evening, if at all possible. The open air band concerts are alâ€" ways enjoyed by large crowds here and many will be looking forward to the Thursday _ evening events, starting Thursday of this week, June 18th.
