A number of the citizens will go with the Firemen to New Inskeard for Dominion Day, but on aceoutnt of the distance and the time necessary for the trip the wmajority of the people of the town and district will not be able to enjoy the outing with the Firemen. The FootballClub thinks it would be a pity if those who stay at home were to be without a day of sports ‘here, so this week the Hub decided to go ahbead with preâ€" parations forea hbig day on July Ist. A. Committee including G. A. Maecâ€" donald, E. H. Bridger, H. Garner, J. W., Faithful and J. Thomas was appointed to take charge of the preâ€" liminary arrangements. _ A big day is planned, including foothall, baseljfall, lacrosse, raees, etc. Special band music wall likely be another feature of the day while a number of novel features are also to hbe considered. The sports of the different. nationâ€" wlities represented in the Camp may be featured, ‘the Seottish, English, Irish, French, Belgian, Italian, Rusâ€" sian, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Spanish, Chinese, and other nationalities heing perhaps invited to contest â€"in the particular games or sports that are most popular in their andividwal homelands.

Instead of attempting to water the streets by a watering ceart this year, the plan of oiling the roads is to he tested. Mr. Vincont Woodbury eontributed sufficient oil to test the plan. _A test is to be made this week on the road to flge station . â€" If the ol works as well dustâ€"layer as it has in other tawhns and as well as Mr. Woodbury is sure that it will here, all the streets in town that are much used will likely be oiled once or more during the seaâ€" During the past week or two there ‘has been numerous complaints in town about the dust from the roads during the dry weather. The use of the hose by the Fire Department on cerâ€" tain parts of the main streets has been a decided benefit, but it has not helped the difficulty in regard to the business places and residences in other parts of the town. Several have suggested that at least the streets be watered all over the town onee or twice a day and if the town has not a watering eart for this work that one . he seâ€" eured. The Town already possesses » watering eart, but the Town Foreâ€" man points out that its use as suggestâ€" ed is practically a waste of time and money, owing to the sandy nature of roads.

As soon as the alarm was received Constable Rayceroft, who is Fire Chief in Moneta, did all possible to fight the fire.

The surface water line just put in provided water, and as soon as the pumps got going there was a good pressure, and the Timmins brigade did excelent work. ‘*They saved us from a much more serious fire,"" said Constable Rayeroft The Moneta brigade worked hard, and good work was also done by their chemical truck which had a material part in saving the adjoining houses from the fire. Fire Ranger Woodâ€" cock also lent effective assistance in fighting the fire. Some damage was done to the effecets of the neighhbors who removed their household goods fearing that the fire would spread,. but the fire was confined to the building in which it started.

Not only, will it be of great advantage to the pulp wood industry at the river, but also to the general lumbering operations in the «listrict and to the settlers. ‘The extent of the pulpwood and Inmbering work along the river may be judged from the fact that over a thousand men were employed in the camps along the Mattagami last winter. _ In addition there are eight or nine saw mills now along the river, and for these industries as well as for the settlers the chief handicap hitherto has ‘been the heavy uphill haul from the landing. The compleâ€" tion of the spur line will thus be a decided advantage and benefit to the district and will no doubt give a noteâ€" worthy .impetus to lumbering ~and other industries.

Next Mr. Allen Huber‘s place was visited by the fire and practically all the standing timber destroyed. _ Inâ€" deed, only mabout fifty green saplings are now left on this property. This bush fire also bhurned round the back of Helstrom‘s farm and caused some damage to timber â€" on this place which was recently purâ€" chased by Bourke, Lindsay Meâ€" Clusky.
