Carter addressed the â€" €ouncil relative to getting the public . library going in Timmins as soon as â€" possible, The first step necessary was _the appointing by the Council of three members for the Board, and the apâ€" pointment by the Public School Board _ of three members and two other memâ€" bers by the Separate School Board. As soon as these members of the Library Board are appointed the Mayâ€" ‘or will call a meeting of the Board _ and the installing of a Library will be proceeded with.

Just the minute that the Town took in this seeâ€" tion there would be requests for waterworks, sewers, etc., ad the town could not finance these works at this time. The Mayor said that the Mattaâ€" _gami people understood fully and agreed that they would have to wait for eertain improvements. They wantâ€" ed water for the summer, police proâ€" tection, fire protection, street lights and some othe minor benefits that the _ Town could give all right. ‘Councillor *$Longmore replied that as soon as they ‘ were taken into the Town they would have certain improvements they would naturally insist upon and he did not see how the Town could finanee their needs on top of the present heavy deâ€" mands upon the municipality.

It was found necessary to seeure four acres in addition to the acre purchasâ€" ed some time ago. The price for this first acre ($500.00) Mr. Perram adâ€" mited to look high, but he agreed that the other four acres should go in at a much lower rate, making the price for the five acres a total of an even $1000.00. The first acre had not been paid for yet. The Town‘s share of this $500.00 was 60 per cent. or $300.00 and on motion this was ordered to be paid.

MATTHEW‘S V There was much gerneral interest in the big drive last week to raise $15,000 in six days for the new R. C. church to be started here in the spring. The steady climb of the therâ€" mometer on the side of the Bank of Commerce building was closely watchâ€" ed to see the progress of the campaign and the captains and teams in charge of the collecting worked with the greatest enthusiasm and efficiency as the result shows.

On Saturday the thermometer bubbled over, the objective being near ly doubled, the total being $28,195.00 Saturday night. This amount includâ€" ed the handsome donation of $10,000 from Mr. N. A.

They smashed one of ‘the big plate glass windows to sinithereens, knockâ€" ed the big clock galley west and what they did to the goods on display in the window was a shame.

They got away to a good start and raised some excitement when they were going. The window, however, stopped them. One of the staff of Curtis & Co. considers that he hbad a lucky esceape from a serious acâ€" cident. He was getting ready to put in a new window display.

RESIGNS MANAGERSHIP OF ASSOCIATED GOLDFIELDS RUSY POLICE COURT HERE oN THURSDAY LAST WEEK In the last game for Poreupine in the N.O.H.A. series Liskeard drew its first «straight win of ‘the season on Monday evening, the tune being 7 to 4. The game was a rather uneventful one, with some spots of speedy hoâ€" ckey. TLiskeard won on its merits all right on the play of the evening. In view of the defeat by such an overâ€" witelming score of the Liskeard team at the Falls on Sfgturday it looked like an easy win for the Poreupine team, and in the first period they had the best of the play, but Liskeard kept aâ€" humping until they got the lead and kept it. Timmins had the wrong side of the luck, as was evidenced several times in shots from eclose in that should have seored, but were Iluckily turned aside. Elliott, in goat for Lisâ€" keard, was given a heap of hard work but was equal to the occasion. <«For Tinmins, Scully played a fine game and stopped many hard ones. The inâ€" dividual players on both teams workâ€" ed hard ‘but the play was ragged and uneven. Messrs. Geo. Lake and G. 8.

Armitage noticed the smoke coming from the bank basement and turned in an alarm. The fire ‘brigade was promptly on the scene, and found the fire to be. in the basement. The fire seemed to have much headway, alâ€" though there was more smoke than blaze. It was difficult to locate the exact centre of the fire or get at close quarters for fighting it on account of the heavy smoke. Three streams were soon at work, however, and the fire extinguished. For a time the fire lookâ€" ed like a very threatening one, but it was conquered after hard and effectâ€" ive work by the brigade. The fire was confined to the basement, where severâ€" al hundred dollars damage was done. It will ‘be necessary to do some reâ€" wiring as well as other minor repairs. The rafters caught fire and were charâ€" red and other parts of the wood work damaged. When discovered the fire was crawling up the stairway.

Stapells, of the MceElroy Manufacturing Co., Toronto, makers of the famous ‘‘Royat Garments,""‘ The game was a fairly clean one, but there were two or three rough spots. There were twelve penalties, but this is not much of a guide, some things that slipped ‘by being worse than those punished. One feature of the evening was the penalizing of the goaltender twice in the game. In the first period Dorschener held Jimmy down in front of the nets and eventâ€" ually Jimmy took a swipe at him and was put off. In the second period, the goalâ€"tender made a pass at the puck just as Fluker skated by the front of the nets and again Jim was put off. Yankoski tried to put one over Don Camphbell and of course there was trouble, and both were put off. Gordie Wilson and Kelly also mixed it and were banished. Outside of these inâ€" cidents the penalties were for minor offences. The Poreupine boys all put up a lively game and worked hard, winning on merit. For the Falls Wilson was the most effective player. Both goatâ€" tenders did their work well, Seully being particularly good and making a number of wonderful saves.

This wonderful display of â€"exelusive and upâ€"toâ€"theâ€"minute designs in highâ€"class dresses and suits was much appreciatâ€" ed, and there were about 80 special orders given for these wellâ€"named ‘‘Royal Garments.‘‘ Mr. Stapells will be here again in about six months wity an equally attractive display of Fall and Winter garments. ~~ + > <>~.> A feature of the first period was the nice "combination work of Cameâ€" ron, Mc@Curry and MeQGuire. Anothér feature was the illâ€"luck of ‘‘Duke‘‘ MceCurry who was agxin iaid out and so handicapped in his play for the evening, though he worked hard while on the ice. MeCurry seored two of the goals in this period, and ‘Cameron and ‘McGuire one each. ‘The second period was in favour of the Falls, Fluker scoring twice and Quesnell once. 4 ‘‘"*ROYAL GARMENTS‘‘ MAKE DECIDED HIT IN TIMMINS Wednesday evening last Porcupine Senior N.O.H.A.
