SAVE MAIN PART OF HOUSE BUT FIRE DOES DAMAGE Txzo Alarms from Same Box About Same Time of Night But One Was False Alarm and the Other a Real Fire. Damage of About $600.00 Done. On Sunday evening about 9.25 there was an alarm turned in from Box 64, the High School, and the firemen made a spneedy resplonse as usual. On arrivâ€" al at the scone, however, it was found that the alarm was a false one, there usn . Thic is the first false their arrival and the fire seeming to be Inocked out almost at once. This fire was at 127 First avenue, the property being owned and occupied by Mr. Laâ€" pierre. The fire apparently started in an old car that was in a sort of shed or leanâ€"to connected with the house. The cause Oof the fire is givent as a short circuit in the old car. The shed or leanâ€"to was used as a garage and the car taking fire at once set fire also to this adjunct to the house. This shed structure was burned down, but the firemen by good work were able to save the house itself which was only sligshtly damaged. The loss would run about $600.00, with only $500.00 insurâ€" ano>e carried. None of the contents of hourse were damaged, the furniture end being removed to avoid such loss. The police who were early or the seone did good work in assisting in the removal of the furniture, etc. In sddition to its use as a garage, the leanâ€"to had also been used as a stable. The house was safely rescued from the burning shed but a quantity of harness and other goods was destroyed by the fire. The car, of course, was destroyed by the fire. LAKE SHORE F.C. TO PLAY THE TORONXNTO SCOTTISH, SATURDAY COwing to the series of the Ontario Cup finals in Toronto having to be reâ€" played last Saturday, between Conâ€" gasco and Toronto Scottish, the Lake Shor> team, of Kirkland Lake did not journey to Toronto. Toronto Scottish won out in their district games and in consequence the Lake Shore play that term on Saturday of this week. The winners of this game meet the Hamilâ€" toxn Thistles the following Saturday for the final of the Ontario Cup. Football fans of the North who have seen the Lake Shore in action are confident that the trophy will rest this year in this part of Ontario. They are a well balâ€" anced team with forwards who are very accurate when trying for goals. Their defence, somewhat weakened by the absence of Ramsay, will no doubt prove a hard obstacle for any opposition. Timmins fans are all pulling for Lake Shore and are hoping for their success after three similar attempts, The Lake Shore when it was learned that their game last week had been postponed wired for the Porcupine Allâ€"Star team to play them a practice game. It was very much regretted that the notice was too short and the officials were unâ€" able to arrange for the team to go down. However, it is understood that a team was made up at Kirkland Lake and gave the boys a hard game. OBSERVING THIRD BIRTHDAY OF A. J. SHRAGGE, LTD., STORE The feature this year in the third | birthday sale of A. J. Shragge Limited,| a5 will be noted from the advertise-‘ ment elsewhere in this issue, is another estimate contest. The firm of A.

E. |lost out to the McIntyre by a score of i | y I The minature golf course at the corâ€" ner of Pine street and Second avenue across from the power company buildâ€" ing, opened on Tuesday evening and there were throngs at the course all evening until near midnight. Men women and children tried the game and most of them found it particularly fascinating. There were equally large crowds outside watching the play and greatly interested. The start of the course is a difficult one and special inâ€" terest centred in watching good golfers and octher who knew nothing about golf trying to ‘make the first part of the course. Yesterday was another busy day for the new course in Timmins and it would appear that it has caught the popular fancy here as in the other towns and cities throughout the conâ€" tinent. sicns of the organization in years. Inâ€" terest is centred chiefly on the matter of the Transâ€"Canada highway. Deleâ€" gates are expected from all over the North and,.also from North Bay, and perhaps from Sudbury and other cenâ€" tres interested in the route of the proâ€" posed Transâ€"Canada highway. It is hoped to have a good representation from Timmins and the Porcupine and from Iroquois Falls and other centres in this district. Mr. and Mrs. A. Parker leave this week for Nottinghamshire, England, their old home, where they intend to take up residence. Mr. Parker is retirâ€" ing from active work and intends to enjoy his hobby of gardening and the cultivation of flowers. He has spent a lifeâ€"time in active work at mining ana now is fortunately in position to reâ€" tire and spend the remainder of his days in comparative ease, though his active mind and body are sure to preâ€" vent him from any idleness. _ Mr. and Mrs. Parker will be much missed in town and district where they have made wide circles of friends during their residence in Timmins. Mr. Parkâ€" er has been especially active in assistâ€" ing the progress of the Timmins Horâ€" ticultural Society and his efforts and interest in the past two years as secreâ€" tary have done much to assure the continued success and expansion of the society. Mr. and Mrs. Parker have reâ€" sided in Timmins for the past four years, Mr. Parker being on the mine staff of the Hollinger Mines during that time. They will be followed to their new home, which is also their old home, by hosts of good wishes from all in Timmins and district who had the Neasure of their acquaintance. The meeting of the Northern Onâ€" tario Associated Boards of Trade will be held at Cochrane on Tuesday of next week, Sept. 16th and the meeting has roused more interest than other sesâ€" Miniature Golf Draws Big Crowds in Timmins Mr. and Mrs A.

Carâ€" roll who was standing behind the goalâ€" keeper over the line, put the bail in. S. O. E. claimed it as offâ€"side but Referee Larmer ruled a goal. Sportsâ€" manship prevailed and the decision was allowed. Both teams played hard to the end, but it was difficult to follow the game as darkness was setting in fast. The officials were talking of putâ€" ting in flood lights for future games but the difficulty for this season at least will be overcome by earlier starts. The McIntyre will play the Dome on Saturday next in the final game of the Dickson Cup; the Dome having won out from the Cornish in last night‘s game with the Cornish, by a score of WINNING NUMBERS IN THE LEGION RELIEF FUND DRAW The following are the winning numâ€" bers in the recent Legion relief fund daraw :â€" _ Winning number for first prizeâ€"4699.

Whartonâ€"Shaw, whose cards, bear the legend, "Coast to Coast in Canada, via Cochrane, 1931," and "E. Wharton Shaw, 115 Leinster ave. south, Hamilton, Ont." Mr. Shaw has been referred to previously as the genâ€" tleman who plans to go from coast to coast in Canada by motor to prove the feasibility and desirability of the Transâ€"Canada highway and also to provide effective general publicity for the project. Mr. Shaw has been in the North Land for some time past gatherâ€" ing data in regard to the proposed Transâ€"Canada highway and also seeing for himself the types of country through which it is proposed to have the highway pass. Mr. Shaw has been all over the Ferguson highway and carefully studied the country as far west as Hearst. He thinks the Transâ€" Canada highway should have the Ferâ€" guson highway as part of its route and that from Cochrane the present proâ€" vincialLroad should be used as far as Hearst. Onward from Hearst he conâ€" sidered the route should go about direct west to join up with the Manitoba road systems. He has studied the land west of Hearst and believes it would be an easy matter to build a road from there on, the country offering no engineering difficulties and the cost of construction being comparatively small. In view of the battle put up by such western Onâ€" tario cities as Sault Ste. Marie, Mr. Shaw thinks it might be good policy for this part of the North to advocate that the highway should run from Hearst to Oba and from there drop down to conâ€" nect with Chapleau, the Sault, etc. Advocating this compromise Mr. Shaw roused considerable discussion at North Bay and other places in this part of the North. Mr. Shaw will put forward his ideas and opinions on the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway at the meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade at Cochrane next Tuesday. He will also ask that body for support and coâ€"operation in his plans for the "Coast to Coast in Canada, via Cochrane, in 1931.‘" On Monday of this week Mr. Shaw will be the speaker at the Kiâ€" wanis Club luncheon and his address on the proposed Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way should prove illuminating. Mr. Shaw has a very complete map showing the country through which the proâ€" jected highway should pass, together with a mass of valuable data relative to the subject. Mr. Shaw «addressed the Troquois Falls board of trade on Tuesday evening, and during his stay in the North has delivered addresses on the proposed highway in practically every centre of the North Land. E. Whartonâ€"Shaw Visitor to Timmins This Week With His Car Adverâ€" tising the Transâ€"Canada Highway Plan. The collection of taxes has been very zood recently. The amount taken in last week reached a total of $97,000.00, which was much better than expected. Taxes for the year have come in well and there is a goodly proporticn of the second instalment paid without the imposition of the penalty. Also, taxes in arrears have been coming in satisâ€" factorily. Of course, there are the usual people neglecting or holding back in the matter, and no doubt steps will have to be taken to urge them on to the necessary settlement for taxes. On the whole, however, in view of general eccnditions, the tax collection this year is proceeding satisfactorily. PLANS TRIP FROM COAST T0 GOAST VIA GOCHRANE Over $97,000 Taken in Taxes During Last Week This Year‘s Market Here Proving the Best Yet Both from the standpoint of the conâ€" sumer and ‘the producer this year‘s market is proving the best yet. ~ The public is taking advantage of the opâ€" portunity to purchase fresh meats, vegetables, poultry, eggs, etc., and everything is being sold that is brought in. The quality of the produce is exâ€" cellent. One plan adopted by a group of Raâ€" more farmers of bringing in fresh meat to the market every Tuesday and Satâ€" urday is proving an allâ€"round success, and is helping to further popularize the market. The quality of the meat is excellent, and it is being well hanâ€" dled and kept in the best of shape. The public is jumping at the chance to secure fresh meats, and the Ramore farmers are disposing of their goods to their satisfaction. sONs OF ENGLAND soOCIAL CLUB DANCE ON SATURDAY There will be an open dance in the Hollinger hall on Saturday, Sept. 13th, under the auspices of the S.0.E. Social Club. The Club Royal orchestra will supply the music for the evening. S. O.E. dances are always enjoyable and this will be another of the good ones. APPRECIATION OF E. RICHARDS SHOWN BY HOLLINGER STAFF Ed. Richards, one of the popular members of the Hollinger office staff for the past ten years has taken the position of accountant at the Vipond Mines, and started in on his new duties this week. Mr. Richards is succeeding Geo. Brady as accountant at the Viâ€" pond. Previous to his leaving the Hollinger, the office staff showed their appreciaâ€" tion and esteem for Mr. Richards by presenting him with an address and a handsome desk set. Mr. and Mrs. Richards will take up residence at the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The regular meeting of the Timmins town council was held on Monday afâ€" lernoon with Councillor R. Richardson in the chair as acting mayor and Counâ€" cillors A. G. Carson, L. Honey, C. P. Ramsay, and Alfred Caron <presâ€" ent. SUBURBS NEAR TIMMINS T0 GFT WATER SUPPLY NOW F. C. Evans, clerkâ€"treasurer of the township of Tisdale, and Township Enâ€" gineer Armstrong were present to ask council to provide a water suriply for the residents of Gillies Lake townsite and Moneta Extension, both in the township just across from Timmins. Mr. Evans said that in the case of Moneta Extension there would be about 60 taking the water service with a fewâ€" er number in the Gillies Lake area. All had agreed to take the water serâ€" vice, the residents being anxious for town water for both domestic use and for fire protection. â€"The plan of the township was to instal the necessary hydrants and services, the work to be done under the supervision of the town engineer or with his approval. Mr. Evans said that the plans had been duly approved by the provincial auâ€". thorities and all that was required was. the consent of the town. On account. _of the season of the year it was necesâ€" sary that the work be completed at an early date, so the approval of the town was naturally desired at once. The rates would be likely on the same basis as in the case of the Bartleman townâ€" site and he thought this would be satisâ€" factory. Questions by members of the council showed that the town would be properly safeguarded in the matter and that there would be revenue for the town from the plan. It was explained that it was necessary to charge more for out of town services to cover the debenture charges. The township offiâ€" cials were told that the water sup;lly would be granted as requested, a reâ€" solution to this effect and covering the situation to be drafted in the meantime and passed at the next meeting of the council. In the meantime the townâ€" ship will proceed with the installation A special feature of the annual baâ€" zaar to be held under auspices of the Church of the Nativity on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Serr. 16th, 17th, and 18th, in the skating rink, Timmins, will be the fact that a hot bean supper will be served each evenâ€" ing. This should prove a special atâ€" traction to lovers of beans who like them cooked just right and to all others who enjoy a firstâ€"class hot supper. Tea will be served each afternoon at the bazaar from 3 to 6. Ancther sprâ€" cial feature in the "eats"‘ line will be the serving of "hot dogs" to those who enjoy this pleasing food. The drawâ€" ing for the Chevrolet coach which was scheduled for Sept. 6th, has been postâ€" poned to Sept. 18th. The bazaars by the Ladies of the Church of the Nativiâ€" ty are always very attractive and inâ€" teresting events and this year‘s event will be up to the former high standâ€" ards in every way. There will be a number of novelties for the bazaar as well as some special features of partiâ€" cular interest, while the usual large assortment of fancy‘and useful articles will be on sale.

A letter was received frorm Miss Florence Farr, town nurse for some years here, and ‘who resigned some weeks ago to take up Red Cross hosâ€" pital work. Miss Farr thaifked the counci! for the letter of appreciation of her services as town nurse sent her by the council and referred to the pleasure she had felt in the work here because of the general kindness shown and the coâ€"cperation and helpfuiness evidenced by the council and all other authorities and officials in the town. The National ‘Plumbing Company asked for a rebate on the town license, the firm having discecntinued business. A rebatse of half the fee was authorized. A request for a rebate in taxes on a store that had been vacant was left over until next meeting so that the exâ€" tent of the vacancy could be definitely ascertained. The second instalment of $1,000.00 for the public I}ibrary this year was passed for payment. Rebates on water rates in cases where the users had moved or the water was not used for other reasons were duly passed. The usual annual grant of $500.00 was passed for the work of the Childâ€" ren‘s Aid Society.

The speaker for the Kiwanis lunchâ€" eon on Monday next, Sept. 15th, will be E. Wharton Shaw, the "coastâ€"toâ€" coastâ€"inâ€"Canada" enthusiast. Mr. Shaw is in the North at present perfecting plans for a trip on wheels all the way from coast to coast in Canada next year, going by way of Cochrane. Mr. shaw is an enthusiast in regard to the Transâ€"Canada highway. He believes it will do more to advance and adâ€" vantage Canada than any other single factor that can be readily called to mind. Mr. Shaw has planned his coastâ€"toâ€"coast trip with the idea of giving valuable publicity to the Transâ€" Canada highway plan. He has been over all the proposed routes and has very valuable data on the subject. He can show why the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way is so valuable and he can present facts and figures that will be of great interest to the ordinary man. To The Advance this week Mr. Shaw referred to the rank guesses sometimes menâ€" tioned by the press and public men as the probable cost of the Transâ€"Canada highway. He felt that some of the large amounts named had had a serious effect in holding back the building of the highway. Mr. Shaw pointed out that this talk of immense sums was nonsense. He has the facts and figures, for instance, to show that the cost of completing Ontario‘s part of the Transâ€" Canada highway will not exceed $7,000,â€" 000.00 and will likely come two million or more less. "Why Ontario could unâ€" dertake such a work unaided and apart from Dominion help," he said. "With federal assistance the work would not be any material sort Qf burden." The situation was much the same in other provinces. Mr. Shaw emphasized the fact that no one should be frightenéd from advocacy cof the Transâ€"Canada highway on account of supposed highn cost. TO ADDRESS KIWANIS GLUB QN TRANSâ€"CANADA HIGHWAY At the present moment the visit of Mr. Shaw is particularly timely. At the moment the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way is the most important question beâ€" fore this part of the North. Mr. Shaw knows his highway. He has spoken at practically all the centres in the North on the topic. He is to be one of the speakers on the question at the meeting of the Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade at Cochrane on Tuesday of next week. E. Wharton Shaw, Who is Planning a Coastâ€"toâ€"Coast Trip on Wheel; Vis Cochrane in 1931 Will Have Inâ€" teresting Data for the Kiâ€" wanis Club Monday.
