The matter of the date for this meeting is now to be art. jged. At the meeting yesâ€" terday the secretary was instructed to write the President of the Assocâ€" iated Boards, Mr. A. M. Dewar, of Iroquois Falls, to the effect that the date suggested, Feb. 19th, would be quite convenient and agreeahle for Timmins. . Accordingly the Associatâ€" ed Boards will likely meet here on that date. _ The Associated Boards includes practically all the Boards of Trade and similar bodies in the Norâ€" th, and there will likely be representâ€" atives here from Cobalt, Haileybury, Englehart, New Liskeard, Matheson, Kirkland Lake, Swastika, Iroquois Falls and District, Cochrane, Smooth Rock Falls, â€" Mattice, Kapuskasing Hearst, South Poreupine, Schumachâ€" er, etec. _ From fifty to seventy reâ€" presentatives from outside towns will be expected.

The Timmins Board of Trade will enterâ€" tain the visiting representatives at luncheon or dinner during the Assoâ€" ciated Boards meeting here. The matter of the annual banquet of the Timmins Board has hbeen deferred until after the Associated _ Boards meeting.

JUNIOR HOGKEY MATGH HERE TOMORROW NIGHT ‘_Two men lost their lives and anâ€" other received serious burns on Monâ€" day morning when the Canada Hotel at Cochrane burned to the ground. The fire was first discovered about three o‘clock in the morning when one of the guests of the hotel ran into ‘ the hallway, his night clothes on fire and his room in flames. Accordâ€" ing to despatches from Cochrane, the fire seemed to immediately be of such proportions that the guests had diffiâ€" culty in escaping with their lives. Few were able to get elothing out of the burning building, most being conâ€" tent to escape alive. Edmund Haecâ€" quet, aged 22, of St., Therese, Que., and Ernest Frechette, 25 years of age, of Quebec, were burned alive in the bulding. . Mr. George Demers, who was living in the hotel, was badâ€" ly burned about the back, head and hands. He went back into the hurnâ€" ing building to rescue a child thought to be left there. _ Demers is in the hospital but fortunately will recover. It is thought that the fire was caused by a carelessly thrown match or cigâ€" arette stub in the room of one of the two men who lost their lives. _ The building was totally destroyed. Timâ€" mins friends of Mr. Perron, formerly in business at the corner of Third Avenue and Cedar street, say that when he left here he went to Cochâ€" rane and purchased the Canada Hotel there which he has conducted since, and that accordingly he will be a very heavy loser in this disastrous fire. Friends here will regret this, while there will be also the deepest symâ€" pathy for the relatives of those who perished in the fire.
