There was a large crowd out to hear the music and the selections presented by the band were much appreciated and enjoyed. Patriotic selections and marches featured the excellent proâ€" gramime presented.

First Outdoor Band Concert of the Cit1zens‘ Band This morning the forest fires in Northwestern Quebec are reported as under control. The fire in the Goâ€" gama area, however, continues serious, with danger of heavy loss. Forestry Dept. officials this morning said that the fire north of the town is stil burning, but is under control and is rapidly being stamped out. Its spread is only eastward and it is no longer any menace. Smuke from the fire was noticed in Timmins last week, the odor of burning wood being quite noticeable on several of the streets of the town. The heavy atmosphere no doubt hbad its effect in holding the smoke so that it was appgarent around the town. The fire north of the town did less damage than most forest fires. No lives were lost, and though a couple of buildings owned by a timber company were destroyed there was little valuâ€" able timber destroyed by the fire. Other fires in the district are also reported as out or under control with less than the ordinary amount of loss. The forest fires in the Timmins disâ€" trict are now reported by the Forestry Dopt. as all under control. The fire north of the town was apparently about out on Thursday last, but revivâ€" ed on Friday and was burning britkly for a time but is again under control. Fortunately, it turned eastward and so was no menace to the town. As a matâ€" ter of fact it appears that the best protection the town can have from forest fires north of here is that when the wind is from the north the fires are headed this way, the north wind invariably brings cold rain or snow which holds back any progress of the fire.
