Canada. Bvery MONDAY and THURSDAY This interesting study of the McIntyre Mine taken froip the Rock Cut on the Railway, gives an unusual amount of detail. while iis toning is worthy of special reference. The cloud effects have been particularly well brought out. The judges were unanimous in their selection of this study as the winâ€" ner of the Grand Prize in The Advance‘s Photograph Contest which conâ€" cluded last week after a very successful run of ten weeks. The Grand Prize was for the picture considered the best of the ten awarded prizes in the ten onsumer‘s Coâ€"operative Credit Union Meeting MU *Jd GS AND SKEEIER Board at light refreshments. A sucâ€" cossful meeting came to a close at 11 o‘clock. Deparquet Fire at Exactly Wrong Time Fireâ€"the Meanie â€" Starts When Brigade at Fireâ€" men‘s Convention. There used to be a joke (morg or less) to the effect that every time the Timmins fire brigade had a banquet or a dance or other happy event of their own, there would be sure to be a fire start somewhere in town. or at least an alarm that would take the boys away from their event, and likely ruin their good clothes before the thing was over. South Porcupine and Schumachâ€" er firemen had similar complaints, and their belief in the meanness and unâ€" timeliness of fire has been upheld by other firsmen elsewhere. One memâ€" ber of the local brigade once suggested that the Timmins firemen were so acâ€" customed to knocking out the ordinâ€" ary fire at ordinary times that in reâ€" venge the fire demon used to pick times that would naturally annoy the fireâ€" fighters. But the allâ€"tim2 high for meanness by the fire fiend occurred recently at Duparquet. The story is told in a few terse. words by last week‘s Rouynâ€"Norâ€" anda Press as follows: "They don‘t have many fires at Duâ€" parquet, the Beattie mine town 25 miles from Rouynâ€"Noranda. So Police and Firechief E. E. Desgrossiellers and four voluntegers thought it would be quite safe to attend the big Temiskaming and Cochrane firemen‘s convention in Noranda this week. They‘d hardly left town .when fire broke out in a big boarding house. An alarm brought no response, for the remaining firemen were on shift at the mine, far beyond the reach of a siren. The boarding house burned and burnedâ€"and burned to the ground while the firemen were learning some of the advantages to be gained {from modern fire fighting."

Martin, a member of the North Bay relief department, was engaged as ascsistant relief administrator for the Town of Timmins at the regular msetâ€" ing of Council Monday afternoon. He will take over the duties of Relief Offiâ€" cer I. E. Dunn, who at the present time Mayor Bartleman regretted that Mr. j Dunn is incapacitated through illness.| but pointed out that it is unfair both to the taxpayers and the people on reâ€" lief that a properly qualified officer is not in charge of the department, Some time ago the Council wrote the Departâ€" ment of Municipal affairs asking for recommendations for an assistant relief[ administrator and of three names submitted, Mr. Martin was the most favourably spoken of by the deputy minister. | A short discussion took place on the. question of salary and the Mayor felt thiat it would ‘be impossible to get a qualified man at less than $160 â€"per month. Mr. Dunn‘s salary, he pointed out, is $200 per month. Mr. Martin came to Timmins and after an interâ€" view with Council, was asked to put in an application. Permanent Settlers‘ Market Oomer Goulet, acting as a spokesman for a group of settlers from this disâ€" trict, approached Council with a reâ€" qu>zst that steps be taken to establish a permanent building for a market. Mayor Bartleman, who made a recent survey of the Kirkland Lake market, informed Mr. Goulet that he didn‘t think there are cnough settlers in this area patronizing the present market to make a permanent bullding economicalâ€" "y feasible. In Kirkland Lake, he exâ€" plained, at least 150 settlers come to market and occupy stalls every week, while in Timmins the average number is only fiftren. Mr. Goulet® sugzested, however, that he believed it possible that the settlers might raise $15,000 to build a market if some arrangement could be made with regard to tax exemption. Immediately His Worship gave deâ€" finite assurance that if the settlers can raise enough money to build a market that the town will be more than willing to coâ€"operate in the matter of yearly tax levies.

"Coal consumers need protection," said Councillor Roâ€" berts, who pointed cut that the idea of individual truck scales had been apâ€" proved in other centres. By this meâ€" thod, he explained, coal could be thecked »and â€"weighed~at any place‘in town. Mayor Bartleman told the meeting that consumers could demand a weight ticket from the town scales at any time but announced that if the plan of inâ€" dividual scales could be introduced without a resultant increase in the price of fuel to poor people that he would be entirely in agreement.
