The town council is at present considering the purchase of a motor truck earrying laddeérs: and other fire department equipment. The desirability of such equipment will be apparent to all, and the town council should be supâ€" ported in any measures taken to add in this way to the safety of the town and its citizens. A point worth considering in this connection is the fact that the cheapest equipment often proves the most costly in the end. ‘This is illustrated by the present motor fireâ€"truck.. This truck is not as good as it used to be, and much difficulty and inconvenience has been encountered in securing parts for replacement. The absolute necessity for being able to secure new parts is a chief factor in fire department equipment as it has to be kept to the highest standard of efficiency at all times, or its usefulness is gone. Seientists are quoted in the daily newspapersâ€"as saying that the gnu is becoming extinct: ‘Then indeed, will no gnus be good news. At the largely attended and enthusigastic meeting that organized the Mattaâ€" gami Aquatic Association on Tuesday night, there seemed to be a tendency to stretch a point «to coâ€"operate with the Boommen‘s Association, so that the river might be kept open for traffic. In the past, conditions have been so bad that some feel that a change must make them better because they eould| mot be any worse. However, as one speaker phrased it, the frying pan may be hot, but the fire itself is still more acor(,hmo‘ Conditions on the river bhave been bad, but the very fact: that'fihe Boommen ‘s Association has been formed is proof that it is felt thatfgtl s contmued \)Ifockmgnof the river‘ fOrl traffic has passed the state of. toleran‘;’ The mmmmttgr ‘L {ssn“e is to Leep] the river open for traffic and at the sa.me mne assnre*g; faru: deal for the; settlers along the river. ~It ls"‘mth tl‘us fld.ea“m mmd that the executive: of the Aquatic Association is now approachma' the Boommen s Association mi the The latter express the strongest desire to do all pf)smble to give ' all concerned a ‘fair deal. At the present moment it appears as if there is a. wood chance that the difficulty in regard to the blocking of traffic on the river may be practically removed. That is something to be greatly desired. 1 The river is the highway for many settlers, prospectors, and others durmdf a part of the year. It is also a boon for the pleasureâ€" â€"seéeker who enjoys boatâ€" Mr. H. A. Preston this week sent The Advance another létter relative to the proposed belt line of roads for the North. This letter was received too late for this issue, but will appear next week. Mr. Preston keeps hammering away at the belt line of roads idea. So should the rest of the people of the North. It would be a creat advantage to the people of this North and an imâ€" portant factor in the development and expansion of the country. img and other aquatic joys. ‘With traffic always open on the/river its use would be greatly enlarged and the Mattagami would be an even greater asset to Timmins than it is at present. Accordingly, it is to be hoped that the Aquatic Association and Boommen‘s Association will be able fq coâ€"operâ€" ate for the eommon good. If this is not possible, however, there is nothing bhopeless about the situation. With the interest shown by the biz meeting er Tuesday night, it is easy to see that there are enough interested in the use of the river to assure the protection of the rights of the pulbslic, provided that all are ready to work together to this end. * $# o_ *# »# * * A wellâ€"known member of the Kiwanis Club on;Monday told this one:â€"An American tourist visiting thig country had his ‘attention directed to a sign advertising the wellâ€"known McLaughlin brand of ginger ale. ‘‘Drimk Canada Dry!"‘ he read. ‘*Well, I‘m doing my very best,"‘ he said. â€" * wie * o. %. $° _ ; . ‘ fown of Timmins will be :-”gfreatly-‘beautlfie'd and benefitted the w y Kiwanees successfully carry thwough their plans for the extensive planting of trees along the ‘streets and at schools and other places in town.

Even the flower gardens that have fourished here have lost some of their beauty and attraction by lack of trees to shade and guard. : There have been several attempts im the past to secure the general planting of trees in town, but usmtil new no. extended plans have gone further than the proposal stage. : The carrying out of the big Kiwanees‘ treeâ€"planting programme will be a noteworthy advantage to Tammins and in years to come will make another me:noria‘. to the fact that service clubs do give service.

Cahill, prop. : |â€"12â€"14p. A large and enthusiastic gathering was held in Tuesday evening to form an aquatic association here, the town hall being crowded to capacity for the occasion. Mr. J. D. Brady was voted to the chair, and it was deeided to call the association The Mattaâ€" gamiâ€" Aquatice Association. The purâ€" pose of the association is to coâ€"operâ€" ate. in the keeping open of the river for traffic at all times, and to foster and encourage all aquatic sports. A large membership is expected, the anâ€" nual fee being placed at the nominal one of 50e per year. There were a large number joined up Tuesday The agreement relative to the Boommen‘s Association was â€" also read ‘by Mr. Brady and taken up clause by clause. _ Only two paraâ€" graphs were objected to, one of these being in regard to using all the river for booming purposes at night and thus stopping traffic on occasion, and the other in regard to the monopoly that would ‘be enacted for the Boomâ€" men‘s Association in the matter of transportation on the river.. In reâ€" gard to the latter it was explained that the arrangement was the usual one for boommen‘s associations, and. that as it was not a moneyâ€"making concern no injury would result. The matter then resolved itself into. a question ‘of rates for the settler in the matter of wood to lbe brought down the river. ~ The rate to be; charged by the Boommen‘s Associaâ€" tion was a very low one and would be: ‘subject also to revision by the judge, it was pointed out. â€" After a very, thorough and gereral discussion it was decided to have the President and, Secretary and the Boating Committee take the matter up with the Boomâ€" men‘s Association and go into the matter yvery thoroughly.. The commitâ€" tee .is. to report back to a meeting of the assgociation to be held in the town ‘hallâ€"next Tuesday. It was emphasiz{:l ced at the meeting that the Boommen‘s was very agnxiouw to coâ€" with the new association to l'ke\ep__ the river open .. Mr. Brady stressed the fact that the conditions ~on the river in past years had ‘heen bad, indeed, and that it looked now; "If the Aquatic Association and Boom;ll ‘men‘s Association would coâ€"operate, ‘that the river could be kept opem all the time to the general advantage,. and the lumber industry would also be benefitted by the: improved: service secured by eoâ€"operation and organizaâ€" tion.. Mr. Clouthier pointed out that no provision hKad been made for keepâ€" ing the landings clear at Bristol Landâ€" ing and Whitesides Landing.. The fact that the ‘booms will ‘be on the deep side of the river at various points wasialso stressed. One settler pointâ€" night. _ The following officers were elected :â€" Honprary presidentâ€"A. [W.
