In the first place it appeared in a brilliant blue sky; secondly, the rainbow effect was remarkable; and thirdly, it occurred early in the afternoon, when as a rule the strange sunâ€"ring comes oftener near sunset when the sun is low in the sky.} * + Appearance Oof a "sunâ€"dog . in the sky here yvesterday (Friday) aftorâ€" noon, caused many people to stand and gaze in wonder at the phenomenon.

The bonspiel fever reached its height last night when several of outr South Porcupine fans went over to Timâ€" mins to see the curler champions play the last games. The excitement was great and the interest keen enough to keep us watching to after midnight. The cheer that went up from all in the clubhouse when Drew threw the last rock which gave him the game by one point might have been heard in South Porcupine.

In regard to the idea cf canning fruit, it was pointed out that effort would be made to secure capital for such a factory. Such a factory would naturally be established near Porquis Junction where there is a large tract of land that is capable of yielding hunâ€" dreds of tons of berries, ard where green peas might also be grown. Blueâ€" berries have been picked on this tract of land for years but the crop has been handled mostly by express shipments to distant points at a rate that is almo} a prohibitive one per basket. In regard to the proposed cheese facâ€" tory, a survey wlil be made shortly to ascertain if the requisite number of milch cows are available to warrant proceeding with the establishment of a cheese factogy. If so, the Ontario deâ€" partment of agriculture will be apâ€" proached and it is hoped the matter will be shown greater consideration than was given the settlers‘ plea for exemption or extension of time on the notes given for grain seed last year. The grain crops last year might be considered as nearly a total loss because of weather and frost conditions. Another topic that came in for vewyy lively discussion was the matter of the small pay allowed by the government for teams employed in the service of the removal of srow, ice, etc., from the roadways in preparation for gravelling by truck. There were some severe knocks at the small pay but no acâ€" tion was taken as the employment of teams in the manner referred to was considered as partly an emergency reâ€" lief measure that had been sought by the settlers‘ association through the council of that body.

"Best we‘ve had," Jerry Emmett Smith, George Doggett, Pete Graham, Mel Charron, A. E. Stephenâ€" son and many of the other famous Northern curlers agreed. The 13 sheets of ice (six in Timmins, four at the Dome and three at South Porcupine) were in perfect shape throughout the ‘sp‘el. _ Icemaker Si Cook was busy night and day seeing that his assistants kept the ice absolutely clean and put on the proper "pebbling" before every game. Winring rinks, score by ends for most of the final matches, and accomplishâ€" ments of the various riaks will be found elsewhere in this issue of The Advance. "Why doesn‘t he draw in there with an outâ€"turn?" "I‘d take that back rock out!" ‘"‘He‘s wide!" ‘"No, he‘s narâ€" row!" And so on and on. Finally one of thse more silent plate glass players said;: "Ah, let George figure it out." It was a happy crowd that filled both clubrooms and lined the three sheets of ice on which the finals were played. George Drew‘s Win Most interesting event of the whole ‘spiel for Timmins people was the final in the Geo. W. Lee trophy event, in which Geo. S. Drew met Mel Charron l of Kirkland Lake. On the last rock of ' the last end, with Drew one down, the ' tall, quiet skip pulled the game out of I I | ’ (Continued From Page One) the fige by knocking out two of Charâ€" ron‘s rotks with his own.
