Globe, who donated the Shield, was that it should be kept as a frophy for annual competition, the name Of the winner of each race being placed on the shield on a silver plate. The Comtmmi#ttee in charge of the Dog Race here recently decided that thre should be some special recogniâ€" tion of any competitor who should win the race three times, and so, pend ing any plan from Mr. Globe, the Com mittee decided to mark the third win of any contestant by the giving of a special cup and also by a gold plate on the trophy. Mr. Globe, however, when he learned of all this, went one Â¥better. He decided to give a new Shield as often as the trophy is won for three times by one competitor. Accordingly, if Mr. W. Martin wins the race this year, he will become the owner of the present A. R. Globe Shield, having won the 1918 and 1919 Dog Team Race events. In case the present Shield is thus disposed of, Mr. GHo e will provide a similar trophy for further eompetition in ‘the same way. If the race is won this year by any other than Mr. Martin the Shield will remain for eompetition until some one wins it three times. In other words, the A. R. Globe Dog Race Shield, instead of being a trophy for perpetual competition as it has been, is now for competition until won for three years by one person, when a new Shield is given by Mr.: Globe. It is also understood that it is the intenâ€" tion to have each succeeding Shield bear a plate indicating the winners of previous Shields. Many feel that the change in the rules and regulations thus giving possession of the Shield to the winner for three years will add much to the interest in the Dog Team Race event each year, while the idea of perâ€" manence is well earried out by the plan outlined. swometlhiing BOURKES MINE CLOSES ty PENDING BUILDING MILL. Several who were employed recentâ€" ly at the Bourkes Mines at Bourkes miding have returned to the Camp here, the work ast the Bourkes Mines being «discontinued for the present. Theâ€"reason for the closing of the mine is given as to the effect that this is nesessary on account of plans now under way to erect a mill on the proâ€" perty wlumoyg the coming summer.

Ome of those training his dog team for the race suggests that the coming weakâ€" end would be a good time to go over the trail. It is certainly not fair to leave the breaking of the trml to one or two, especially to those entering the race. The Dog Race is the Ing winter sporting event of the Poreuâ€" pine, and an occeasion that gives pleasure to practically all in the disâ€" briét.

Rarlway would have the most thoughtful conâ€" sideration from the Commission. That Mr. Lee is sincere in tlis is perhaps best suggested by the fact that after investigating the conditions at Porâ€" quis Junetion Commissioner Lee at once got into tomwech by wire with headquarters at North Bay and orâ€" ders were issued for the preparing of plans, ete., for an enlargement of the Porquis Junction station with . the view of adding proper accomodation there for any passengers detained at this junetion point. Mr. Lee also told The Advancee that arrangements were ests, ut neither ‘Ihe Advance nor the public wish to show the Commisâ€" sion how to run the People‘s Railâ€" way. Both are too busy with their own affairs. What the press and the public alike desire is that the Peoâ€" ple‘s Railway be conducted for the accommodatiqgmt, ‘benefit and advanâ€" tage of the People. Mr. Geo, W. Lee; T. N. 0. Railâ€" way Commissioner, and at present Acting Chairman of the Commussion, was i visitor to the Camp last week and cealled at The Advance office. At irst Commissioner Lee was inclined to the opinpion that the reeent enticâ€" ism in The Advance of the T. N.

Mr. Lee also told The Advancee that arrangements were being made to have one of the Torâ€" onto trains run through to Timmins each day, instead of going to Cochâ€" rane. â€" Cochrane and the G.T.P. conâ€" nections will be served by a local con necting train.

In January there were only five deaths, while in Februâ€" ary there were 22 deaths, The causes of death are given as 10 from pneuâ€" monia, 14 from Influenza, and 3 from other causes. In publishing these figures The Adâ€" vance has no desire to improperly minimize the illness prevalent at the present time, nor to encourage careâ€" lessness or lack of attention in regard to sickness. But there is in a few quarters such a tendency to exaggerâ€" ation and to gloom that the actual figurés may have a tonic effeect. No good is to be gained by p“ctendm'* that the situation is worse than it is. The idea of The Advance is that everyâ€" thing possible should be done to preâ€" vent an epidemic, and to this end a cheerful public frame of mind is necessary. There are too many who spread the idea that there have been false stories told of wholesale deaths and illness. At the present time there is conâ€" siderable illness in the Camp, but there are very few serious cases. Whether the prevalent malady is the oldâ€"time Grippe or the ‘*Flu‘‘ seems to be a matter of opinion, butfthe fact remains that the npidum{'c, if such it may be cealled, has little of the serious The Lightning River Gold Mines, a eompany recently formed, has taken over two claims in Egan Township and a group of «eight claims in the Sesekintka district. This company is tinanced by interests headed by Dr. Imey, of Guelph, ‘and his brotbher Capt. Imey, who are interested in the Wendigo Power Co. Their chief proâ€" perty so far is the Howie«Couchinor elaims in the Lightming River district, easst of Matheson. There has been spread the idea that there have been deaths at the rate of five or six a day. People here were alarmed some weeks ago at the stories told about the seâ€" riousness of the situation in South Porecupine. ‘The truth is that only two deaths occurred in South Porâ€" cupine during the prevalence of the returns show, are from Influenza and Pneumonia, but the majority of those ill seem to suffer from no worse than the ordinary Grippe, which, however, is bad enough. ‘The majority of those reported ill last week are now well on the way to recovery. During the past Ten of These Deaths from Pneumonia 14 from Infuenza, and 4 From Other Causes. There has been so much misappreâ€" hension both here and elsewhere as to the seriousness of the illness prevalâ€" ent in the Camp and the number of deaths occurring, that The Advance aerewith is publishing the official figures. Since the first of January of this vear there have been 27 deaths in theâ€"Camp, including all the adults dyâ€" ing in Timmins, South Poreupine, Schumacher, Moneta, Tisdale, Mountâ€" joy, Mattagami, ete. | There‘were also two or three infants in addition whose names do not appear on the underâ€" taker‘s ‘books.

Mr. Pumaville, who introduced this resâ€" olution, said the idea was to pay the settler a certain sum for every acre cleared until say 30 acres were clearâ€" ed which would make the farm selfâ€" supporting. Mr. Dan â€" Johnson thought a settler in the Matheson disâ€" trict with only 30 acres cleared would be ‘‘poor as a church mouse.‘"‘ He thought 60 acres a better limit. Also he ‘suggested a grant of money â€"to ecach settler as a charge on the land, bat not drawing interest. Mr. J. A.

There was" some good playing on both sides during the evâ€" ening, but the players were more or less handicapped by the fact of pot being accustomed to playing together. In addition, some of the players have not been on the ice for a game this year. For various reasons neither team could get the complets lineâ€"up expected. The Town team was parâ€" ticularly unfortunate in this respect, being without either Brennan or Mcâ€" Guire, who are rightly estcemed as a material part of the team. The teams, however, lined up eventually as follows :â€" Town of _ Timmins:â€"Goal, Hogâ€" garth; right defencee, Nel Fergauson ; left defence, Loughtrin}g centre, Jaeâ€" obs; right wing, Campbell; let‘t wing Laflamme.
