Opportunity for examination of the roll is absolutely necessary for comparison of assessâ€" ments so that it may be seen whether assessments are proportionate and equitable. _ _A ratepayer is really as much interested in the assessment of others as in his own. The point rased by Mr. W. 0. Langdon, on beâ€" half of his clients, was not a techniâ€" cality, but a vital matter of justice and equity. _ The council has now arranged so that the legal time has been given for examination of the rolls, and it is to be hoped that the assessment will now be revised and finally completed without unnecessary delay. The council was to blame for the previous delay and it is to be trusted that they will see that no furâ€" therdelavs are oceasioned.

Thirteen of these are at the isolation hospital located for the time being in the former *‘ Miners‘ Hotel‘‘ on Balâ€" sam street. This big building origâ€" mally used by the Hollinger as a boarding house, makes an ideal place for the purpose, having hot and eold water, baths, etc., and being otherâ€" wise modernly equipped. _ The doeâ€" tors are paying regular and freqnent visits to the place and the natients | â€" Active and energetic steps have been taken by the authorities to preâ€" yent a wideâ€"spread epidemic of smallâ€" pox here. . The coâ€"operation of the public in general is earnestly asked to make the efforts of the authorities effective and to safeguard the general welfare. The cause of the spread of smallpox here has been the lack of immediate reporting of cases, so that quarantine could be applied. _ Apâ€" parently, though people must have suspected the nature of the disease, medical attention was not called and the smallpox was given opportunity to spread. _ Anyone knowing of a case of smallpox should at once notify the authorities so that the general health may be safegnarded. At the present time Dr. (George, Medical Health Officer for the district is here assisting in keeping the situation in hand. The doctors, the school boards.| the town council, the nurses and, others are coâ€"operating, and with tl:e! added coâ€"operation of the public, there| will be no danger of any further! spread of the disease. Without this| coâ€"operation, of course, there is danâ€"| ger. lailure to report cases and evaâ€"| sion of quarantine may lead to serious conditions. \ The whole town was shocked and saddened on Tuesday evening when word reached here ~that. Messsrs Ernest Tate and Thos. P. Ireland had lost their lives in Gold Lake, about seven milas from Timmin‘s. With Ray Derway, fhe two men had been on a hunting trip at Gold Lake south of Timmins. At about six o‘clock Tuesday morning Messrs Ireland and Tate took their guns and went out for a little shoot before Jbreakfast. Mr. Derway stayed in the camp to prepare the morning meal. He waitâ€" ed for an hour or so without particuâ€" lar anxiety, and then decided to find where they were. Travelling along the side of the lake he saw the empty ‘anoe with the two friends leaning against the sides, apparently standâ€" ing in the water with their heads down on the canaoe.. Knowing that something was wrong he secured help from a meighbouring camp and by means of a raft access was gained toâ€" the canoe. _ Messrs Ireland and Tate were in the water, their heads slumped down on the canoe. Both men were dead. So far as could be gathered from the cireumstances, it would appear that the two men had been out on the lake with their guns and one or other of them trying a shot from the canoe had upset the frail craft. The men would then be throwninto the water, which was very cold. The water is only about two feet deep at this part of the lake but a soft quicksand bottom makes movement in the water practically impossible and the shallowness of the lake prevents swimming.. To get into ‘ this lake at this time of year at this particular spot is to be trapped. ° The men struggled in the dragging mud, but would have little chanee. Death would be due to the cold and the seriâ€" ous .. _Mr..

Few events in recent years have seemed so tragic to the people of Timâ€" mins as this acceident. Both young men were unusually popular and highâ€" ly esteemed in Timmins. â€" The late Ernest Tate, whose home, was originâ€" ally in Sault Ste. Marie, has been a resident of Timmins for about five years past,. He has been prominent in sporting cireles, his quiet, generous and clever services on the baseball team making him very popular. As a pitcher he was outstanding until an injury to his pitching arm made it necessary for him to avoid the pitchâ€" er‘s box. He was on the staff of the Hollinger, being in the storehouse, and enjoying the sincere regard of all his Fellows on the staff. He leaves a widow and a little child two months old. _Very deep and very sincere is the sympathy extended to the beâ€" reaved ones in their loss.
