The fire was first disâ€" covered about three o‘clock in the morning when one of the guests of the hctel ran into the hallway, his nightclothes on fire and his room in flames. According to despatches from Cochrane, the fire seemed to immediâ€" ately be of such propsrtions that the guests had difficulty in escaping with their lives, Few were able to gci clothing out of the burning building, most being content to escape alive., Edmund Hacquet, 22, of Ste. Therese, Que.. and Ernest Frechette, 25 years of age, cf Quebec, were burned alive in the building. Mr. George Demers, who was living in the hotel, was badly burnâ€" ed about the back, head and hands. He went back into the burning buildâ€" ing to rescue a child believed to be there. Demers was taken to the hosâ€" pital but was recovering. A care‘lessly thrown match or cigarette stub in the room of the two men who perished was thought to have been the cause. Timâ€" mins friends of Mr. Perron, formerly in business at the sorner cf Third avenue and Cedar street, told The Advance that when he left here he went to Cochrane and purchased the Canada hotel there which he conducted until the fire. He was the heavy loser Freparaticn made for a trip from Timmins to Moose Factory and Belcher Islands during the winter of 1925 by a new method of travel is told in The Advance Jan. 21st, 1925." There will be a large motor sicigh shipped to Timmins shortly from Toronto and this motor sleigh is going to Moose Factory, down the Mattagami river and thence on t> the Belcher Islands this winter. Dog teams are to be loaded to go with the motor sleigh for use in case O[ emergency. This informatitcn is given in a letter from Mr. Jones sent The Advance from Toronto last week. "Mr. Jones is making complete preâ€" parations fir the trip. _ The motor sleigh is being specially built to use in case of slush on the big rivers and through the deep snowdrifts. It has a 100 h.p. Handleyâ€"Page aero engine. There are no crossbars under the sleigh to catch the slush cr hold it. Mr, Jones has great belief in the use of dog teams. He thinks they are more reliable than any machine and so he is taking them along on the big trip as well as depending on his new motor sleigh." The Timmins Board of Trade is holding its annual meeting for 1925 in January of that year, elected F. M. Wallingford president for the year. H. G.

Ten years ago the waterworks collecâ€" tion department of the town made a survey of all residences and business buildings in the town and the result of their findings was that 75 p.c. of the water users found their bills increased as the cost of water was based on the number of rooms in the houses. Many had been added to since originally built. During the year 1924, 223 new water services were installed. "On Thursday afternoon last," says The ‘Advance of Jan. 21ist, 1925, "there was an unusually interesting event in the basement of the Presbyterian church where there was a fine banguet to observe the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Ladies‘ Aid of the Presâ€" byterian church. Rev. J. D. Parks, pastor of the church, presided and the evening‘s programme was an unusually pleasing cne. During the evening Mrs. L. E. Dorway, the first president of the Ladies‘ Aid in Timmins and a loyal supporter of the society through the intervening years was presented® with a handsome filoor lamp. In a brief but effective address Rev. Mr. Parks exâ€" pressed the appreciation felt for Mrs. Dorway‘s unfailing and helpful interâ€" est in the Ladies‘ Aid. Mrs. Dorway made a suitable reply,. Another specialâ€" ly attractive address was made by Mrs. F. Hamilton, now of South Porcupine, who was one of the four original memâ€" bers of the Ladies‘ Aid. Mr. D. Macâ€" kie‘s address was another pleasing iteém on the evening‘s programme of adâ€" dresses. Mr. Mackie remarked in the course of his address that it was Jjust ten years ago since he landed in Timâ€" mins and that on the second night he was in town he had come in touch with the work of the Fresbyterian church, then just organizing in Timmins. The Just ten years ago Sioux Lookout organized its board of trade. J. A. Hodder was elected president. _ Siou® Lâ€"okout, describing itself as "Hunters‘ and Fishermen‘s Paradise," with a live board of trade and a very creditable newspaper, "should prove itself one of the progressive and thriving towns of the North Land," says The Advance. Ladies‘ Aid was organized at the home of Mrs. F. Hgmilton befcre the church itself had been started. The four oriâ€" ginal members of the society, Mrs. Dorâ€" way, Mrs. J. K. Moore, Mrs. W. Nicholâ€" seon and Mrs. Hamilton were present at the tenth anniversary banqguet." D. A. Dunlap, who was for many yvears a director of Hollinger Consoliâ€" dated Gold Mines, left an estate valuâ€" ed at approximately $5,800,000, a large proportion cf which was held in stocks and bonds. The will was made on Jan. 12, 1924 and application for probation was made just over a.year later. A millitn and a quarter dollars was given to various charities and the Timmins Union Church benefitted to the extent of $2,000. The Advance of ten years ago tells the story of how a pspular citizen of the town died suddenly. "The many friends and acquaintances of Mr. Clarâ€" ence Trimble were shocked to hear of his sudden death on Thursday morning just before one o‘clock. He had been troubled for a day or two with what he thoughttobeapalnmhuchestm Wednesday night after playing friendly games of cards at the Kingston House with some ¢f his friends, he telephoned Dr. Joyal to come and see him. When Dr. Joya)l arrived shortly before one, he was chatting with Mr. Trimble beâ€" fore making a thorough examination though the patient did not consider there *was anything seriously wrong. As the doctor sat by the bedside, Mr. Trimble suddenly fell back on the pilâ€" isw and passed away immediately. Death was due to heart trouble. He had been in Timmins for 11 years and had been employed by Marshallâ€"Eccleâ€" stone and A. Brazeau and Son." . In 1925, when Iroquois Falis was supâ€" porting a senior N.O.HA. team, there was great rivalry between Timmins and the Falls Big crowds turned out to see the games and there was some real hockey played. The score of the Iroquois Fallsâ€"Timmins game on Jan. i6th, 1924, was 11 to 7 for the Falls. The Pcultry and Pet Stock Show was a big winter event in 1925 in Timmins. It was the second time it had been held here and took place in the Miners‘ Union hall on Second avenue.. There were nearly 300 entries including poulâ€" try, dogs and pigeons. "The show ex~ cels anything shcown in the North Land," says The Advance, "and would do credit to any big town in the Ssouth." The public gave the show fine support and the building was crowded for most of the time the show was open. The only difficuity was that the place was not large enough to accommodate all the entries properly. failure to affix t! stamps to a cheque being the offender. the Pulp Embargo » etuateateatecfents afs THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE TIMMINS, ONTARIO Underâ€"Cover Men Prove Very Poor Witnesses Objecting to Proposal to Close Rouyn Station After two adjournments the charge against Aifred Lapointe of selling liquor was dismissed in police court on Tuesâ€" day after the evidence of three operaâ€" tives who said they had bought beer there had tumbiled before proof that at least in part of their testimony they seemed to have been falsifying. They claimed that they had gone to 155 Main avenue on Jan. 6th about 12.15 and that while there had purchased three bottles of beer. Under cross examination by Dean Kester, attorney for the defence, Paul Desroche and Cecil Dale, two of ths "underâ€"cover men" employed by the Timmins police stated that since Jan. 6th they had been living in Schumacher, their board paid by the police department. Chief Paul stated that they had been voluntary guests of the town in the cells of the police station ever since Jan. 6th,. On several other points their evidence did not coincide. "I can‘t convict on the evidence Oof people who won‘t tell the truth when they should," said the magistrate beâ€" fore dismissing the charge. "These men are perjurers and show it in their evidence." Paul Desroche had stated on the stand that he had been in a room with Betty Robinson who was charged with being an inmate Oof a disorderly house, but Crown Attorney S. A. Caldbick asked that the disorâ€" derly house charge be withdrawn since the witnesses for the case were the same as those the magistrate had just a few moments before called to task The charge against Betty Robinson was also withdrawn as it would have to be proven that the house in which she was fround was disorderly before she could be convicted. Magistrate Atâ€" kinson warned her as he told her that she was free: "You had better change your mode of life or get out Of town right away." Pawned "Borrowed" Tools A mechanic, at present unemployed, was charged with the theft of a $40 set of tcools. He had pawned them for three dollars. He told the magistrate he was 30 years of age, single and had never ‘been in trouble before. "Have you any excuse?" Magistrate Atkinson asked. The â€" Rouynâ€"Noranda â€" Press last week says:â€""A meeting of the execuâ€" tive cof the Rouyn Chamber of Comâ€" merce was held last Thursday evening in the office of the secretary, when the suggested closing of Rouyn‘s Nipisâ€" sing Central station as part of a plan which would close Noranda station alâ€" so and make a union depot of the C.N,R. station midway between the two, was the matter coming in for most consideration. Feeling among a large element in Rouyn is quite strongâ€" ly against this proposal and there was a good deal of discussion as to the best means to adopt to bring influâ€" ence to bear on the T. N. O. Comâ€" mission in favor of a continuance of the present terminal arrangements here. Those who have expressed themselves on the matter take the stand that the carrying out of such a plan would deprive Rouyn of a station altogether, that the CN.R. station is tco far away from the centre of things for the town and that the maintainâ€" ance of a road and the building and maintainance of a sidewalk outside the town present difficulties which cannot easily be overcome. There was serious discussion of a renewal Oof efforts to induce the C.P.R. to extend its line westward from Angliers to Rouyn, and finally it was decided to send the Secretary, J. P. Cote, to Monâ€" treal and Quebec, to interview in the metropolis the officials of the C.P.R. and in Quebec the railway committee of the Legislature. The influence. of both against any change in station arrangements here is being sought, and Mr. Cote, who left here on Friday in company with Mayor Gagne, will disâ€" cuss in both cities the matter of the iongâ€"talkedâ€"of C.P.R. extension." Toronto Star:â€"The St. Thomas Timesâ€"Journal complains of the sanâ€" diness of St. Thomas sidewalks and Ralph Gordon says it‘s just some of the Grit left over from Mister Hepâ€" burn‘s famous run in that town.

He had been out of work for the past seven Or eight weeks but was getting odd jobs now and had Aalready given three dollars to the man from whom he had borrowed the tools with which to reclaim them. The man who had beught the $40 set for three dollars was ordered by the court to return them to the original owner when he would get his three dollars back. The mechanic was given suspended sentence and signâ€" ed a bond to keep the peace for two vears. "What do you want?" the magistrate asked him. "A jail term for a couple of months if possible," replied Lynch. "All right, two months then," said the magistrate. Ed. Sullivan, second offence drunk, was sentenced to pay $50 and costs or go to jail for 30 days. Two first ofâ€" fence drunks paid $10 and costs. Speeders Fined Two speeders paid the usual $10 and costs and in the case of the second one heard, it was found that it was his fourth conviction. "We‘li start off anâ€" other year with $10 and costs," said the the magistrate, "but don‘t get any more this year." Another resident was charged with "using number plates on a imotor vehicle other than the ones issued by the department of highways for such vehicle." He pleaded guilty and paid $10 and costs. Asks Twoâ€"Month Term Martin Lynch "found wandering abroad on the 15th of January," pleadâ€" ed that he had lost his job at the Holâ€" linger and that he would not be able to get work untit March 1st or 15th. A misunderstanding between a reâ€" sident of Timmins and a man he had hired to cut wood for him got into the wrong court. The magistrate advised that it be tried in division court.

Impressive Tribute Paid at Sturgeon Falls to Late Member for Sturgeon Fallsâ€"Nipissing. Services held at R.â€"C. Chureh. Impressive tribute to the memory of Theodore Legault, M.L.A. for Nipâ€" issing, whose sudden death occurred at Toronto last Thursday, was paid Monday morning as his funeral was held from his family residence to Sacred Heart church, Sturgeon Falls.

Urges Sudbury Road bÂ¥ Way of Sellwood C. N. Taylor, of Sellwood, at Toronto to Press Route via Sellwood, Gowganda, Elk Lake, etc. It seems to be a fact now that the longâ€"advocated road to connect Timâ€" mins and Sudbury is to be built. A survey for this road is now under way, suggesting that the Government is sinâ€" cere in its attitude towards this needed road. ln addition assurances seem to have been given to Sudbury people that the road will be commenced at an early date. Of course, it is not well to drop attention in such a case and take it for granted that the work will be underâ€" taken. In all such cases it appears to be well to keep attention centred on the work and the need for it. . This appears to be done in this case. There is active advocacy continued at Sudâ€" bury in reference to the Sudburyâ€"Timâ€" mins road. It is regrettable that there should arise some difference of opinion as to the route. Some prefer a direct cr straight route, or a short route, as some term it. It does not appear that such a direct route would serve the the same purpose as the route advocatâ€" ed for many years. This latter route uses a number of strips of roadway alâ€" ready in use and connecting a sucscesâ€" sion of mining camps, including Sude bury, West Shiningtree, Shiningtree, Gowganda, Elk Lake, Matachewan, Mcâ€" Arthur and Porcupine. There is the best of chance for other mining camp$ to develop along the route. This seems to be the route favoured by C. N. Tayâ€" I>r, of Sellwood, who went to Toronto last week in press the matter with the! Government. Mr. Taylor has been a resident of Sellwood since the Mcose Mountain iron range first came into notice. He has the strongest faith in the practicability of the development of the iron industry of the Sellwood area. He believes that Sellwzsod should be on the route of the proposed roadway. "The Moose Mountain iron range," he is quoted as saying, ‘"is the greatest deâ€" posit of iron in Ontario and it will be opened up some day. Provision should be made now by the government to put the proposed road through that part of the country so that when Moose Mounâ€" tain is reâ€"opened at some future date there will be a highway right to the mine." He further contends that by following the old Gowganda transport road, built many years ago, the govâ€" ernment would encounter fewer obâ€" stacles in the way of road construction than by routing it to the east of the main branch â€"of the Vermillion river, as is at present proposed by some. "All through the unsurveyed township of Rcberts the highway could follow aA |level gravel ridge," Mr. Taylor is quotâ€" ed as stating. Another point imade by Mr. Taylor is that the route he adâ€" vocates would open up one of the greatâ€" est moose and fishing countries in the North. + rso«w«»-aw-:«xs«mmwmw o.

Premier Drops Idea of Asking for Gold Tax Share some days ago at Toronto Premier Hepburn is reported as saying that he had dropped all idea of asking the Bennett government for a share of the gold tax for Ontario. Some time. ago Premier Hepburn made a great noise along the line that Ontario made all the outlays for the development of the gold industry while the Dominion took the cream of the profits through the gold tax. Premier Hepburn suggested that he was going to demand a share on all of this gold tax for Ontario and if he did not get it he would look to the next government at Ottawa to give it to the province. Now, Hon. Mr. Hepburn says:â€"*"What would be the use of asking Mr. Bennett for anyâ€" thing?" The answer would seem to be that there is just as much use now aASs some weeks ago before Mr. Hepburn discussed the matter with Mr. King. Premier Hepburn‘s present attitude is reported to be that he had taken no action in the matter and does not inâ€" tend to take any. On the other hand it is reported that when the federal election campaign opens Hon, W. L. Mackenzie King will promise Ontario that if he is returned to Ottawa he will give this tax to the province if it asks for it. Speculators in political doctrines, however, suggest that it would be a much more popular policy to promise the abolition of this tax, and that this is likely what Mr. King will eventually agree to do.
