Work is now under way for the tearâ€" ing down of the King Edward cafe building, destroyed by fire on Jan. 15th, The owners, Mong Tong and Jung Sun, have arranged to replace the old strucâ€" ture by an upâ€"toâ€"date building. Perâ€" mits were obtained this week for the work of clearing away the old building and for the erection of the new one. The new building is designed for resâ€" taurant and rooming house purposes. It will be two storeys and basement. The basement will be of concrete and under the full size of the new building. The new building will be 76 by 30 feet, and it is estimated that the cost will be at least $13,000.00 for the building alone. It will be constructed with brick piers and front and with tile walls. The beams will be of steel, there will be a fireproof type of roof, and otherwise the structure will be of fireproof style. The ground floor will be used for resâ€" taurant purposes, while the second storey will be used as rooms and apartâ€" ments. There wili be sixteen rooms upâ€" stairs. Vanrassel Brothers, of Cochâ€" rane, have the contract for the new building and work will be undertaken at the earliest possible moment and the work rushed to completion. It is inâ€" tended to have the new King Edward cafe and rooms modern and upâ€"toâ€"date in every particular. The band concert to be held in thne Goldfields theatre on Sunday evening, March 3rd, after the church services, will be a Cornish Night and this means that the programme will be a specially good one.

In addition to the attractive programme of vocal and instrumental music by leading artists of outstanding merit, there will be special selections by the band. Rev. J. D.

The trophy is the handsome silver cup presented by The Porcupine Advance in 1924 in which year it was won by Wm. Martin. ‘The following year it was won by ‘Wilfred Poirier. In 1926 it was won by S. Pancoff, who also won it in 1928. The 1927 race had to be abandoned on acâ€" count of the snow disappearing very rapidly, so that in the event of the cup being won by Pancoff this year it will become his own property, one of the conditions being that it had to be won three times in succession to be won outâ€" right.

Grant was elected president of the board of directors of the Kirkâ€" land Lake District hospital last week. On Friday evening shortly after nine the police had a call to a place on Cedar street, and the officer answering the call found two men under the inâ€" fluence of liquor. Dubois appeared to be about helpless and had to be carried. He was locked up on a dlunk charge. In the morning he said he felt poorly but this was thought to be due to the afterâ€"effects of too much liquor. Toâ€" wards evening, however, the man comâ€" plained about severe pains and a docâ€" tor was summoned. The doctor reâ€" commended that he be taken to the hospital as he seemed to be quite ill. He was transferred to the Hospital where he diqd on Sunday ~evening. The late Pete Dubois, who appeared to be around 55 years of age, has been around town for scome time and was wellâ€"known to many.

An inquest is to be held on Friday (tomorrow) at 4 pm. to enquire into the causes of the death of Pete Dubois. The inquest will perhaps clear up the stories current that Dubois was injured in a scuffie some days ago and that his death may have resulted from injuries then received. One story current is to the effect that the man was kicked during the course of an altercation.

Raymond returned last week after spending several deâ€" lightful weeks visiting Mrs. Ed. Ray of Timmins and Mrs. Fred Farrant of South Porcupine and other friends." During the evening reference was made to the fact that the band was in good financial condition and making progress despite handicaps. The new leaâ€" der was working ably and unslfishly and there was confidence that he would win noteworthy success. There were 5 outâ€" door concerts given last summer, the weather interfering with other events planned, while already this season there had been ten indoor concerts of special excellence. During the evening there were several references made to the loss of the former popular leader, F. J. Wolino, with expressions of appreciaâ€" tion for his good services. The gathering was concluded by the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" and "God Save the King." ! The annual manquet of the Timmins |Citizens Band, held in the Oddfellows‘ 'hall on Saturday evening last, proved a very pleasing and successful event ‘and up to the high standards of enâ€" joyment set by similar affairs in the | past. About thirty members of th> band, members of the tewn council Iand other friends of the band was | present and all had a very happy time. ‘Mrs Howse did the catering for the ‘occasion and the supper and service were excellent.

ANNUAL BANQUET CF BANDâ€" FLEASING AND SUCCESSFUL we not secure an outfit made in Canâ€" ada?" he asked. Council decided if a Councillor Chatlebois pointied oK the fact that the town was in need of a thawing machine for the waterworks system. The power company did not now provide such a machine as in the past. J. D. MacLean, town engineer, explained that the special need for the machine would be in the next few weeks There were several services now reâ€" quiring thawing out. He suggested that the gasoline outfit would be the best for the town. Though the first cost was greater, the town would find it the more economical, as the power charges would be saved and these were comâ€" paratively high. In addition when tuc power was used it was necessary to wait until a man could be sent by the power company for the work. Counâ€" cillor Dougall noted that the booklets showing the equipment were all of maâ€" chines made outside Canada. "Couldâ€" The matter of new uniforms for the police staff was also referred to by Councillor Carson, chairman of the police commitiec, and it was decided to call for tenders for the suits requirâ€" ed, delivery of the clothes to be at times to be later specified by the comâ€" mittee. Councillor Carson asked the council| to consider the matter of the purchase of a new motor cycle. The present one had been in use for three years. It would.require repairs necessitating an | outlay of around $100.00 with no guarâ€" i antee that further costs would not be | necessary during the season.* The| matter was referred to the police comâ€" ! mittee to study out the most economiâ€" cal and effective plan. in the law regarding irqdyalties and other questions affecting North Band municipalities. Mayor Drew was apâ€" pointed to represent the town at the conference in Toronto in this regard, and also to take up with the authorities the matter of the extensions requested for the town disposal plant. Council felt that the building of extensions to the disposal plant at this time as reâ€" quested by the provincial health board would be a heavy burden to the town. but if the Government would guarantee the bonds for the work it would make it possible for the town to proceed at once with the work. Failing such asâ€" sistance the town may be able to make such changes as will make the present equpment able to carry on for the presâ€" ent. The mayor referred to the suggestion made that Timmins should coâ€"operate with the townships of Teck and Tisâ€" dale and other municipalities in this North in working for improvements The assessment on a building since destroyed by fire was cancelled, on moâ€" tion, after the facts had been made plain. A request from the owner for proâ€" perty to be assessed to the public school instead of the separate school was granted, the tenant in the property beâ€" ing a public school supporter and havâ€" ing children attending that school. An increase in salary of $10.00 a month was given to I. E. Dunn, relief officer and sanitary inspector, whose work has greatly increased the past few years. Routine accounts were passed. in reference to one account Councillor Richardson, chairman of the fire and light committee, pointed out that the whole cost of the team used by the pubâ€" lic works department was charged up against the fire department account in the town books. Mayor Drew said that strictly speaking the cost should be distributed to the various departments, but this would entail a lot of unnecesâ€" sary bookkeeping without any advantâ€" age to the town. Councillor Richardâ€" son agreed that it did not make any difference so long as it was understood that all the oats and other feed was not used by the fire department team. The recommendations of the board of works and waterworks committees were before the council but were deferâ€" red to a special meeting to be called in the course of the next day or two for the special consideration of these reports and for other matters in conâ€" nection with the estimates for the year. The mayor asked the various commitâ€" tees to have their estimates in by the end of this week at the latest so that the necessary steps may be taken to proceed as soon as possible to strike the rate for the year. 2l wit WUW!! irontage shali be reserved for the lumâ€"| The regular monthly meeting of iday afternoon | bermen, but in each case a certain Timmins Post No. 88, Canadian Legion. w in the chair, frontage shall be absolutely reserved was held in the Oddfellows‘ hall, on .

Mr. MacLean pointed out the necessity and vaiue 0o: a telephone at the incinerator plant and the question was referred to him to see about the cost and other details. In the discussion of the telephone quesâ€" tion, reference was made to the fact that while the township of Tisdale has discontinued using the incinerator and stopped paying its share of maintainâ€" ance costs, the McIntyre Mine still takes refuse to the dump. Th> town engineer was asked to get in touch with the mine and arrange for payment to be made for the use of the dump or the mine to discontinue using it. two ladies from Edlund, west of Cochâ€" rane, who are driving by dog team from Cochrane to Toronto, are reportâ€" ed as likely to reach the Queen City toâ€"day.

The dogs were reported as finding the deep snow in ‘certain areas as rather hard going, but ;were otherwise standing the trip well.

On Sunday morning at 6.25 the fireâ€" men had a call to a house on Broadâ€" way, rear of 4 Balsam street, the buildâ€" ing owned by C. D. Cretina, and occuâ€" pied by Fred Richard. About $200.00 damage was done to the building and a similar amount to the contents beâ€" fore the firemen could get the blaze ecxtinguished. Fire Chief Borland was not satisfied with the situation as it appeared to him and made investigaâ€" tions as to the insurance carried and other particulars. The furniture seemâ€" ed to be all in the one room and the origin of the fire did not appear to be plain After investigation a charge was laid in regard to alleged misrepreâ€" sentations made in securing insurance on the furniture.

Feb. 27th, thus covering more than half his journey on skiis to Ottawa, and fully half the alloted time to make the rest of the trip. Although there is no wager or reward in connection with this hike on skiis, Clair is mairttaining the schedule set out by himself and will make Ottawa without difficulty in the fourteen days specified. Clair left Timmins last Thursday, following the power line to Whitefish and making 42 miles the first day. Friday was not so good going, only 35 miles being covered that day. Cobalt was reached on Sunâ€" day, 134 miles being covered in the four days. From Haileybury, Lake Temiskaming was used as the ski highâ€" way, Mattawa being reached last night. From Mattawa Clair is proceeding on to Pembroke, which he expects to make in a couple of days. From there to Ottawa will be clear sailing.
