.. Gangs of Men Rip Up Streets Here for Paving Pine Between Second and Kirby Avenues Ripped Up With Steam Shovel. Labourers Are Placing Man Holes and Gutter Outlets on Spruce Between Fourth and Fifth. i The Pioneer Paper i of the Porcupine. Established 1912. Gangs of men and a steam Si0OVel have started to rip up Timmins streets preparatory to laying concrete roads. The top surface has been torn off Pine street from Second avenue a distance of two blo:ks to Kirtky avenue and men are busy levelling and grading and preparing the road to receive the fill. On Spruce street from Fourth avenue to Fifth deep holes are being dug and manholes instail:d. Ahead of the steam shovel in each case go gangs who make outlets for the gutters to be laid along the side of the road. Many men have foun1i employment on the jc5, which is well under way. Following after the steam shovelâ€"and assisting in the grading comes a steam rolle.. The ripp‘ng up of the road has greatâ€" iy increased the clouds of dust that swirl up and down the streets under construction but residents are consolâ€" ing themselves with the thought that paved roads will practically eliminate the menace in their sections. One of the dustiest streets in town is Pine streoct, between Second and Kirby avenues. Men are working there now. Paving this street will eliminate the dust hazard which troubles pedesâ€" trians walkinz along the block on the east side of the ball park. Another block which badly needs the coat of concrete it will receive is that between the Post Office and St. Mary‘s hospitâ€" al on cne side and the central school on the other. This oblock, Pine betwegn Fourth and Fifth avenues, will be paved, as will the next parelle!l (block east, Spruce between the same aveâ€" nue:s. The block aisnz the north side of| the hcspital, Fifih avenue between Pine and Cedar sirests, will be paved to. give St. Mary‘s paved roads on three: sides. Two blotks will be paved on Balâ€" sam street between Second and Fourth avenues, and three blocks on Second avenue from Spruce to Balsam streets. Fourth avenue between Cedar and Balâ€" sam will be included in the paving proâ€" grammc. Work has ksen begun in cnly two places, on‘ Pine=etreet between and Kirby avenues, and on Spruce street, between Fourth and Fifth ave-‘ nuez. 8 With his usual enterprise and ezergy. Leo Mascioli, the contractor, is spzsedâ€" ing things up cn the paving work. (Oakland Tribune) â€"â€"How about the pet in sum mer?

It is understcod that these bogus bills have been passsd in the United States to some extent but that the federal authoritiee have crowded so close on the heels of the counterâ€" fciters that they are now attempting new fields. So far as can be learned none of thes2 counterfeit U. S. dollars have been passed in Timmins Oor any attempt made along that line. However, the "shovers of the queer‘ have been busy in the South and before they reach here is the time to be prepared for them. The dis:rict superintendent of postal service at North Bay has sent cut a circular to all post ciffices in his district to te on the watch for any of these bozus notes. A postmaster in the Tcronto district was victimized recently, and it is desired that others avoid similar loss,. Counterfeit $1 U.S. Treasâ€" ury Notes Being Circulatâ€" ed f It would kbe well not. only for post cffices and financial institutiors to be on the lookâ€"zut to avoid thete counterâ€" feit $1 tills, but also for the public in general to> assist in stopping the passâ€" ing of the bogus money and apprehendâ€" ing those responsible. If a ccunterfeit bill comes your way, have it handed over at once to the police. It is well to"give the police all the facts of the case just as soon as possâ€" ible, so that they may trace the oriâ€" gin of all counterfeit money that may ba circuatinz. Even if in doubt about the genuinsnsss of a bill, it is well to have the polics decide. People in genâ€" eral do not pay much attention to dolâ€" lar bills, but for some weeks it might be well to do so. The following particulars are given abcut the counterfeit bills referred to: E2245C314A. The counterfeit may be easily distinguished ‘because/the serial number is not distinct and/the dark pcrtion of the bill is too black and blurred. On a gosd U.S. $1 bill the fine lines are quite distinct. On the counterâ€" feit one the effect is to make the whole background appear black and the fine lines appear as most indistinct. Be on the watch for these bogus bills and if one reaches you, notify the police at cncse, unless you know the person alâ€" tempting to pass the bad money and are sure of his intentions.

It is expected that this year‘s show will exceed the success of previous years. In saying this it should be noted that the annual flower show at Timâ€" mins in the past has been an oustandâ€" ing successâ€"one of the best horticulâ€" tural shows in the province, according to men like Johnâ€" F. Clark and others in a position to know. There is no doubt ‘but that the event is always a pleasure to local people, and to visitors and those not long in the North, it will prove veritable revelation as showing what can be done, is being done, in a horitcultural way in the North. Collection of Wild Flowers One of the particularly interesting features of this year‘s horticultural show will be the class for the best collection of wild flowers. The society is offering prizes for the boy or girl showing the best collection of wild flowers of the North. Boys and girls who take part in this contest will be surprised at the number of specimens they will be able to secure from red clover to wild roses, trillium, orchids. Garden Competition Again this year the garden competiâ€" tion under the auspices of the Hortiâ€" cultural Soziety wili bring forward much interest.

The director of the Imperial Instiâ€" tute drew attention last August to the fact that over 1,000â€" films already in the Library cannot meet anything like the full demands being made from 2,500 colleges, schools, mstlmtes and a. variety of social orgammu Last ‘vear the issues of Empire films "totalâ€" led 17,000 and audiences must have reached the stupendous total of 3% milâ€" licn persons. Canada has responded to the appeal t> the Dominion and Colonial Governâ€" ments to make good the shortage of films in the Empire Film Library at the Imperial Institute by presenting 68 copies. of twelve different films dealing with â€"the life in the Dominion. The Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau which was organized some fifteen years ago, had close to six thousand films of Canadian interest in active circulation last year. There is a rapidly increasing use of these eduâ€" cational films by churches, community, frattemal and other organizations parâ€" ticularly in Canada, the British Isles, New Zealand, the United States and the Orient. There were 96 Canadian films shown in Germany, 70 in Italy and 53 in the West Indies. British Empire Films Are Now in Great.
