PAYABLE OCTOBER 20th. 319%: several- years past thoughtful people have been impressed and alarm ad over the heavy losses incurred through fires in Canada. The greatest nose for alarm, perhapg, has been the apparent indifference of the people in general in view of the heavy loss in life and property suffered each year in Canada from fires most of which might have been avoided. Various bodies have sought to bring the ques- tion to public attention, and one of the methods adopted to focus public Consideration on the matter has been the setting aside of a week to be known as Fire Protection. Week. Thur. ing this week fire prevention and fire pinfction problems are to be general- ly sf/cussed and the public roused as much as possible to the very real dan.. ger of the fire fiend. - Fire Prevention Week, begin-ning,' on Sunday, Oct. 9th, and ending, the following Saturday has been appoint. ed by an order-in-eouncil, and the pro- demotion is made through a special number of the Canada Gazette. The proclamation calls attention to the fact that more than 300 persons in Canada annually lose their lives as a result of fire, in addition lo which there is an irrxyvieable loss of money, labor, time and natural resources. This imposes a burdensome tax up- on industry and :thrift. and substantial ly adds to the cost of living. Fur- thermore, it is insisted that at least 800 per cent of the firiss which ocmu‘ sire the resubt of inexcusable ignor- ance or neglect.

The reopening meeting of the Ca- fedonittn Society of Timmins took plaee in the. I.0.f).Fl Hall on Friday with a large attendance, despite the very unfavourable weather, about fif- ty or sixty being present, and the. evening, being a thoroughly enjoyable one. During the hot weather and the vacation season, the Society had dis.. continued its sessions, and the meet- ing Friday night was in the form of an At Home or Social Evening to re- open the regular gatherings for this fall and winter. The nice-president, Mr, D. Mackie, very eapably presid- ed, and after some routine business had been doalt with an excellent pro- gramme was enjoyed. The programme included :--very attractive piano solos by Miss Grilfin; humorous songs by Mr. J. Cowan, patting the audience into 'happy humour; brief address by Mr. P. Macaulay; a reading in "braid Seots," eapably given by Mr. LM. B. Scott, and being a poem by Robert Louis tStevenson; a wtll-rei1dered solo by Mr. J. Twaddle; a Scottish song by Miss MoHagh that ‘roused the audience lo heartily joining in the chorus; a Scottish song by Miss Jean Roberts that delighted tire crowd; a. very pleasing rendition of "Annie Laurie," by Mrs. M. 'B. Scott, with Mrs. A. G. Mach-ay playing the ae- companiment. A special: feature of the evening was the singing of Me. W. W. Bosworth, of 18c.liuniaeller, whose wonderful voice with its power, range and training, was heard to ad- vantage. Mr. Bosworth rendered Seot- tish and other songs aad each selee- tion by him merited the hearty encore it received. "Musieal Chairs" was another feature of the evening's plea- sure, while, of course, Scottish and other dances featured the evening’s enjoyment. For ethe dances Miss Gif.. fin, Mr, J. Cowan, and tlater in the evening, tt Scotty' , Wilson, played the piano with talent and effectiveness. Another feature was the serving of a tasty lunch which was much enjoyed and appreciated. The meeting pon- oyuded with the singing of Auld Lang Syne. lumking of home brew. Magistrate lTuoker seems to give as little protec- ltion. to this home enterprise as Ma- 1tistrate Atkinson. On Thursday last lMagistrate Tucker, who took the po- llice count here again in the absence of Magistrate Atkinson, fined Geo. Simokotees $200.00 and costs for il- legally making intoxicating liquor. The police seized a quantity of mash, as well as some of the finished .pro- duet. An odorous barrel was among the exhibits in the ease. Some of the liquor seized is credited with having nearly as powerful a kick as Jimmy Twaddle when he's playing football against. the Dome. At any rate that barrel would just about knock a man down. Five men were fined Tluusday for being too overly inspired with the spirit of gladness and rejoicing. Ma- gistrate Tucker says $10.00 and costs.” far easier than the poor fel- lows can sober up. Another man, charged with being drunk, tried to put over an alien style of story on the new Magistrate. It eost -tlliat. particu- lar follow 33.20.00 and costs, the extra ten being for the trimmings. Ditfer- mes of opinion or ideas between a local woman and a girl employed by her resulted in two eases. The girl sued for some twenty dollars in wages xo?rittted to be. due her, and the woman i9t9rrrd the girl with the theft of a who broach and some other small arhigles. The wages case was settled, however, Ity the payment of the gmount claimed, and the charge against thb girl was withdrawn.

NO PROTECTION HERE POR STRUGGLING HOME INDUSTRY TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5th., 1921. Mr. P. H. Keefer, M.P., for Kenora and Port Arthur, has announced him- self as u atraight Secession candidate. This announcement may give others in other parts of New Ontario tt new idea of the right. politioal attitude for the advantage of the North Land. It may not please the "Maehiaes," but it should please and profit 'the North. Mr. Keefer says that with him the North Land will come first,---before any party or group. He is determin- ed first of all to get a square deal for the North and to do this is go- ing to forget all politics except the policies that are for the benof'1t of the North aLnd, In dis. musing the matter The Toronto Star has the following editorial that. will be. read with more than passing inter. est. by all interested in the North Land and its progress H-- "It is signifieant of the weakness of the. Meighen government and of the strength of secession sentiment in some parts of nortlmrn Ontario that Mr. F. H. Keefer, the government member for Port Arthur and Kenora, glrould decline to stand for re-eleetion to the commons as tt government. candidate, and should 'advocate as his campaign policy separation from Ontario. The matter of' having an adequate supply of pure milk for the needs of the ever-growing town of Timmi'ns has always been. a problem here. Mr. T. F. King seems to have found an excellent solution. As will be noted from the advertisement elsewhere in this issue, Mr. King has made arirange ments for the shipping to Timmins each day of a supply of pasteurized milk from the New Liskeard Govt. dairy. Citizens of Timmins may se- cure this pure milk at King’s, or it will be delivered eadi day. This pas- teurized milk is handled under ideal conditions, absolute cleanliness and sanitation'being the rule all through. Pasteurized milk has such advantages from the standpoint of health, clean- liness and keeping qualities as to be of special importance here. The first supply of this pasteurized milk will reach Mr. King this (Wednesday) evening and We 4irxst deliveries will be made on Thursday morning, daily de- liveries being the rule thereafter. Mr. N'. MeEaelteen has been secured to see to the deliveries, so that and of the service to the public is assured of all possible care and Mon. Toronto Paper Discusses the Attitude Of Old Ontario to the Great North. “The district that Mr. Keefer sug- gests should be formed into a new province extends from White River to the Manitoba boundary and from Lake Superior to James Bay. It has an area greater than that of Old (hr. tario. It has few cities, but is rich in mineral, timber, and fish. PASTEURIZBD MILK TO . BE ON SALE IN TIMMINS ' "The great distance from this dis- triet to the centre of provincial ad- mirtistvation at Toronto is a handicap to cordial relations. People up there feel themselves to be isolated from the rest of Canada, and are irritated by the indifference sometimes shown to their' interests by government. otlici- als who are unfamiliar with local eon- ditions. When nortlrerners want any- thing they want it badly and want it in a 'liurry. They find it hard to un- derstand the extent to which this part of the province is engrossed in other things. And, truth to tell, the pro- erastinatior1 of the province in deal- ing with matters that are of vital in- terest to New Ontario would test the patience of Job. "At heart, Old Ontario is proud of New Ontario. It believes the north- band has a wonderful future. It has a feeling of good will towards its ha- bitants. Forty years ago the province won the battle for possession of the region from the Lake of the Woods to Port Arthur, and it has no inten- tion of letting, go. A more intelligent. policy in Toronto would have restilted in a mudli faster development of the wealth of the northland. A little more vigor on the part of the central au- thority and a eoatinuanee of patience and persistence on the part of the northerners should bring about. an im- provement and more cordial rela- tions." Iilllllllfllll MEMBER [ll llillillllllllt I1llifillllil "It is the duty of the Drury gov- ernment, and particularly of the lands and forests department the mines de- partment, and the T. & N. o, commis- sion, to overcome any reasonable sense of grievance eherished by those who reside in the Ontario ‘Izinterland. That is the beat way to cope with se- eession sentiment. Mere denunciation does more harm than good.

Praetieally nothing is known here of the late Mr. Nathan it being his firse trip here, and, of course, tho par- ticulars are known as to his personal affairs or family. On Tuesday about 12.30 noon a traveller was coming along Tamarack atroet carrying his sample grip in his hand, and just as he reached the. cor- ner of Tamarack street and Sixth avenue he collapsed on the walk.

A meeting of We LiberarcCunserv- atives of Timmins was oallcd ,for Monday evening at the Town Hall to select delegates for the Convention to vepnesent this town. However, due perhaps to ir1sufieiene advertising, there was a poor attendance only four or five being present. It is 'like- ly, however, that other arrangements will he made to secure a good repre- sentation from Timmins at this con- vention to-morvow. And neither of them can vote for Labour, because that's too much like work. . Charlie says he is too democratic to vote for any "King". government. DEATH OP MAJOR THORNE AT TORONTO THIS WEEK A large number of 'nthrnes have been suggested as condidates, Messrs. Wes. Gordon, R. Shilling/on, Major Ptt1len and others being frequently mention- ed. In. the southern section of the riding, however, .there is said to be a desire to have a man from the North as the Liberal-Conservative candidate this war. To-inoraxyw, no doubt, will see the selection firhslly made, and the battle in progress then. The .Libemds have already their candidate in the field; the Labour Party no doubt will ruin Mr. Angus McDonald, M.P., again; the Farmem may or may not have a man of their own. In a few weeks no doubt the situation will be much clearer, and much livelier, than it is at present, ilillllllil Wlfllill lllllln HEM] Illl STREET IF C't .. . mi mféisg .4 The Queen’s Hotel, Timmins, has t changed omumrhip, the new proprie- 3 tor being Mr. Tong Loung who has r taken over the business and is carry- ' ingitoaasafhst4ashoteg. Last week in referring to the "ru.. moured" changes in the T. & N. o. train service for this part of the North Land, The Advance suggested that the changes might not be so ra- dieal or injurious as reported, and that the people here having faith in the. Chairman and Commission in their efforts to give the people the best pos- sible service would be willing to give the new time table a Irial, feeling sure that the Commission would keep in close touch with the situation. and be ready to remedy the service it it prov- ed inadequate. WMI, the trial is here, and it sure is some trial for this part of the North Land. After the excellent train service this summer the service drops back to worse than the bad war days. There is only one train from Toronto and qwssengers from that city tretual- ly have to change at Englehaxt, wait there a couple of hours and then get on the Continental to come as far as Pnrq'uis Junction. The 'trains, Nos. 443 and 47, formerly running through to Tinmnin-s under the new. time table run no further than. En,glelhart, though why they should run even that far if tralfie has gone so completely (to pot is a, matter for wonder. It seems to be beyond question that the taufiie to T immins, Iroquois Falls and other poihts in this part of the North Land unurra‘mt some better arrangement than this presont train service. The Commission is asked to give the ques- tioh more than passing eonsideration. It. is in the matter of mail service, however, that the greatest injury to this part of the North results. Only one mail a day leaves here for south- ern and eastern centres, this single mail going on the train leaving here at 6.10 in the morning. From Saturday morning until Monday at 6.10 .tihere are no mails for distant points. This is a serious handicap to local business interests, the mail coming here Fri- days having neeessarily to be delayed until Monday 's train for answer. There is a local mail service, a closed bag mail, each week day on the 12.30 noon train for Sehunureher, South Porcupine, Poreupine, Connaught, Iro qtrois Falls and Coehrane. This ser- vice is, of course, very useful, but it touches only a small portion of the business needs of the North Land. So far as the business centres of the south and ease are concerned, this bright and growing Camp with all its business and activity has only one mail a day eaeh way, the kind of serv- ice that is in keeping with the needs of rural places like Calabogre and Mount St. Patrick. The mails from Toronto arrive here at 7.15 pm1.and from Mon treat at 11.20 pun. The mail for To- ronto and points south and east theme here at 6.10 nan, and the local mail for the district at 12.30 pan., the time of closing these mails being a half an hour earlier at the local post office. For the Love of Mike, Honorable _ Commissioners, Don't Cut This Part of the North Altogether From the Book of Re- . membrance. The Porcupine Camp and Iroquois Falls are two of the few fiotuiihing and progressive centres in the Pro- vince today. The business originat- ing through these centres deserves a better service than that given by the present curtailed service on the T. & N. o. These centres are 500 miles from the nearest city. To keep up their chances for progress and de- velopment and for the convenience of the Ilarge number of people served it is necessary that good train service and mails should keep them in easy touch: with the outside centres. Sure- ly the T. & N. (). Commission can ar- range a train service and a mail ear- riage that will serve the people bet- ter than the utterly inadequate, ser- vice commenced this week. The people of the North willy try anything once, bat three days of this crippled and in- convenient service is more than too much; Your attention is vbeseeohed 'Mr. Commissioners and Chairman. Give this part of the North Land half a square show, for the love of mud. The Powers-tshi-be have stolen even our Sundays and let t us high and dry, par tioalarly dry. If they won It allow us to get mail]; or to get out or in except sertiaremsionally it will be too much. The Advance has' eotd1danmy enough in Chairman Lee and the Commission- ers to believe that they will be able to work out a service for this part of the North Land that win be a real service instead of a taatalizatian. ill “PEN Iffiill III THE I, 81 N. l ntlllllllllllllfllt The case of A. White rs. the Town of Timmins was finally settled last week at. Haileybury, The case arose from the use of u dwelling, north of the town as an isolation hospital. The Town had been dealing: with a man whom it was believed was authorized to sell or ‘rent the house, and when a hurry need for an isolation hospital for a snvallpox ruse was encountered the Town made use of this dwelling. Mr. White on titling the house so used without his pemuission eventually an- tered suit. against the Town. The Town made many efforts to settle the matter, bat found this could {not be. done without. apinareatly pmjudioing its rights.

The case was laid over and came up again at the fall assizes in Hailey- bury last week. The parties, through their solicitors, got together and an arrangement was agreed upon. T he court approved this agreement, Judge Sutherland dismissing the oitse with- out eosts and ordering the moneys paid into court by the. defendants (the Town of Timmins) lo bevretum- ed.

Watson, manager of the Nipissi'ng Mine, Cobhlt, was in the Warm) Last week in connection with the diamond drilling work now in pro- gress by t hat company on the Roches- ter property adjoining the Hollinger. Nothing is being given oat in regard to the pmgress or results of the work on the Rochester, but (the general opinion in the Camp is that, it will prove favourable and that another important mining property is conse- quently likely to be in action in Tim- mins in the oomparatisuyly hear fw. ture. There have been three drill holes put, down to depth and two more are now in progress. The natural lack of offieial tmnouneeruent at. tthis time, of worse, makes it impossible to give any danite forecast of what may fol- low the drilling operations. The Nip- issing, as might be expected, is keep- ing its own counsel at this; stage of the pmoeedings. But the location of the pmfierty and the number of drill holes being put down, together with other facts that may be known or de- duced, suggest great possibilities to the mm on the street who sees the possibilities for the opening at an early date of another promising pro- perty in this part of the Porcupine. Word was waived last week of the death of the fire-y-ld son of Mr. J. Bourke. The little lad passed away at the home of the family in Quebec.
