The eighth annual Ball of the Timâ€" mins FKire Brigade will be held in the Masonic Hall, Timmins, on Monday evening, May 21st. ‘Wolno‘s orchesâ€" tra will furnish the music. A. happy evening is assured. The fact that Sutcliffe Neelands are the contractors for the work would suggzest that speed and good work may be expected. Sutcliffe Neelands handled the contract for the Great Northern Power Co. in the development of Matatchewan power and made a record for speed and capâ€" awhility of handling in that work. â€"Friday evenjng the popwiar Canâ€" adian artist will offer a superb preâ€" sentation of ‘‘The Brat,‘"‘ a play with a thousand lughs, and a tear or two. On Saturday evening a new comedy of old Erin, ‘*Peggy O‘Neil,‘‘ ‘will be Miss Arlie Marks and her associate players will be seen at South Poreuâ€" pine, at the Majestic Theatre, on Friâ€" cllayhand Saturday next, May llth and 2t presented. CONTRACTS LET ALREADY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF QUINZE According to information coming here last week ‘before the signatures on the Quinze power lease were dry the Northern Canada Power Company had let contracts in conngéction with the transmission line to Porenpine and with the power house site itself. These went to Sutcliffe and Neelands ‘and Gordon Summers. The company deâ€" clares that it is going to push developâ€" mentat the utmost speed. . They will be disappointed if the new energy is not flowing into the gold camp by sum mer of next year. ¢ An estimate of the cost of thls deâ€" gelopment has not been‘ given yet, but will run into many millions of dolâ€" lars. The whole proposition is financâ€" ed with big money. The men behind it are probably better posted on the chances of, the gold mining industry than anybody in Canada. That they should be quite willing â€"to put millions into a project that will be many years returning their investment, and which doubles the Poreupine power supply, is about the best evidence the smalltr man should desire that a tremendous expansion of the gold mining industry of Northern Ontario is certain. ARLIBE MARKS AT 80UVTH FORCVUPINE é â€".~The system for fighting forest fires has undergone a chanve, for the 'better, it is hoped Mr. Poole, Fire Inspector for the Northern Division, which is from Cobalt, north, and from the Quebec iboundary on the east to ‘the Algoma boundary on the west gave us aâ€"call on Saturday. He tays the Chief Ranger will have an office in New Liskeard, which will ibe head:â€" ‘quarters for this end of the divison. He will have a staff of 12 ar 15 men who will each have a horse. Saddles are already here, and horses will be heré in time for the work to start. Bystem of relay pumps will be used; 5,000 feet of hose will be available. Excepting some ter;itory adjoining the Quebeéc ‘boundary, permits will not be issued, and nothing will be done to hamper the farmers in the older parts such as we have between Cobalt and some distance north of Englehart, in landâ€"clearing. . This is along the lines we have always asked for. It seemed so absurd to tell the farmers they must clear their land or it would be taken away from them, and at the same*time tell them they marst not start a"®fire in their fallows except when it would bs the least likely to burn." ‘However, if the weather should ‘be very dry, and there should be danâ€" ger, prohibitory notices will be issued, and we hope and believe that all farmâ€" ers will to the utmost of their power try and comply with these notices. In the meantime all the strength of the fireâ€"fightem with their pumpmg outfit will be_concentrated on the danger There has always been discussion and difficulty in evolving regulations that would allow. settlers to clear their land ‘by the use of fire and still not endanger life and property through the menace of bush fires. Despite the fact that when bush fires of serious propc.rmons occur there are always those who are ready to affirm that the trowble originated from fires started by -prospectors, lumbermen, campers, or almost anybody else ‘but the setâ€" tlers, there is a general feeling .that settlers can endanger life and properâ€" ty setting out fires, exen to clear their land. On the one hand it is perâ€" fectly apparent that if> the settlers are to be allowed to â€"clean up farms the use of fire must ibe permitted. . On the other hand it is equally apparent that cleared land may be secured at the price of altogether too great a risk. Among the settlers there is often agitation to secure less stringent reâ€" gulations regarding the setting of fires for clearing purposes, while others in the country. are frequently inclined to advocate more rigid rules as to the use of fire even for clearing purposes.. Naturally it is felt that the safety of the people of the counâ€" try, including the settlers theinselves, is the paramount consideration, On more than one occasion it has tbeen advocated at meetings of the Mathceâ€" son Board of Trade that winter burnâ€" ings be adopted as the basis of a plan for restricting ‘fires through the rest of the year. (On the other hand The New Liskeard Speaker has favoured more lenient treatment of the settlers in the matter of permitting the burnâ€" ing of slash, .brush and so on. In thls connection the following article from the last issue of: The Speaker. will be Qf more than passing interest. The Speaker says :â€"â€" A Victorian Costume Ball is to be given at Schumacher in the Mclntyre Recreation Hall on May Hth. ‘Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes of Victorian style, and the event all round will undoubtedly be an attracâ€" tive and enjoyable one. Music ‘by the Mclntyre Orchestra. The Schumacher people have a decided talent in makâ€" ing pleasing social events of this kind, and she feature for special observance of Victorian Day this year will no doubt attract a large attendance from all over the Gamp. â€" PROBLEM OF CLEARXING LAND WITHOUT DAN: GER VICTORIAN BALL AT SCHUMACHER ON MAY 34 Th NogTuLAND MOTOR SALES 0# DAY 100 Enquiries on Gold Stocks Invited $ .. â€"Arthur E.
