Councillor Kimberley, of Tisdale, agreed with the Mayor‘s idea and said ‘he had been in communication with representatives of the owners of the property and thought more land eould be purchased at a reasonable éprice now. The land in question was not valuable, being of a *‘ frog pond"‘ type., The Council left the.question until Mr. Kimberly hears from the owners as to price, etc. _ The use of the dump and incineratâ€" br was also discussed. and the Council ‘thought the municipal property should be fenced, regular ‘hours set for the use of the incinerator and the place kept locked other times. _ Councillor Kimberly referrefto the proposed terms for the summer water service for Moneta. He thought the ?§ug‘gested ratesâ€"$1.50 per month for each house on the main ‘street of Moâ€" neta, and ;1.00 per month for each on the back streets,â€"rather burdensome and difficult. Most of the houses were supplied with water for domestic purâ€" poses, and the proposed rate would fignre out $9 or $10 per barrel for the water that would be useds The waâ€" ter was needed chiefly for fire proâ€" ffe'ption purposes, and ‘he suggested as m fairer and more practical plan that the township instal a meter and the it:fiwn set a rate by meter for the waâ€" ter supplied. The Town ‘ Engineer pointed out that the Town ‘had to ‘keep up steam whether there was a fire or not and so the overhead exâ€" pense of the service always had to be ‘eonsidered. Mr. Gordon H. Gauthier, for the Township, said that the water ‘was needed primarily for fire protecâ€" fitlm In this, the protection was of service to Timmins as well a§‘to Moâ€" meta. The Town was under no extra eost in giving ithe service and so eould deal more liniently in the matâ€" ter. He suggested the use of a meter, _ Bhe Mayor referred to the necessâ€" ity for securing more ground near the incinerator for the dumping of the material from the incinerator. The Eoneta to pay at a fair rate for the ‘water used. After several of the Town Councillors had referred to the fact that the overhead cost to Timâ€" imins must always be considered and Â¥hat Moneta should pay at least as much as charged in Timmins for the same sort of service it was thought that a fair adjustment could be made by a conference of the Waterworks ‘x:", the Town Engineer and 1 &;\m' representatives. Such a eonference took place on Tuesday when it was agreed, apparently to the satisfaction of all concerned that Tisdale should pay $200.00 per month Vifj!‘\e water for fire protection and 7’,.* per month for the water for Â¥he school. 8 % % k nb dues YVo!lI VI No. 24 need specially; the receat des~ l at Muskoka.l )Wn GONTRAGT FOR GUTTING ROMO T0 CONNAYSH!T Ralph Dipaolo Gets Work. About 100 Other Tenders. It is understood that the contract for cutting the rightâ€"ofâ€"way between Poreupine ard Connaught on the proâ€" posed highway between Timmins and Porquis Juncetion has been awarded to Mr. Ralph Dipaolo. There were oaver 100 tenders for the work, which was advertised to be done in sections. Mr. Dipaolo was the successful tendâ€" erer for the whole rightâ€"ofâ€"way cutâ€" ting from Poreupine (Golden City) to Connaught. It is understood that the work will be proceeded with at once and rushed to completion. It is indeed expected that the rightâ€"ofâ€"way ‘batween. Porâ€" cupine and Connaught will be done this year. The road between Porâ€" cupine and Connaught will mean a great deal to the district. Added to the roads already in existence it Juncetion is INUs in s1 tance from Golden City is about 14 or 15 miles It is, not known yet strip of road in the Nig district. ‘The highway follow the route fo thi by Mr. C. V. Gailaghe e roads airéady in eXistence I1L means that about 23 out of the 33 miles between Timmins and Porquis Junetion will be linked up. The roads between Connaught and Porquis June tion will also ‘be linked up, and a roadway direct from Timmins to the Juncetion is thus in sight. The disâ€" been proposed recently that this surâ€" vey be slightly changed in regard to the Night Hawk Lake district. The idea is simply to have this strip of the road on the ‘other side of the T. & N. 0. trgeck so as to accommodate a proâ€" mising mining section and also give access to what will undoubtedly prove a very popular summer resort section. The change would leave as many setâ€" tlers as well accommodated while at the same time the additional advantâ€" ages mentioned would be no increase in the cost of construction. The Goâ€" verrment has had the matter placed before it, but so far there is no inâ€" dication of the Government adopting in the cost of construction. Lhe Uoâ€" verrment has had the matter placed before it, but so far there is no inâ€" dication of the Government adopting the suggestion. For Timmins and indeed the whole district the road between here and the Junction is of the greatest importâ€" MINE MANAGER‘S ASSOCN. VISITS PORCUPINE CAMP ancé Last week, a party of the members of the Temiskaming Mine Manager‘s Association, of ‘Cobalt and district, visited Timmins and the Poreupine Camp, spending the weekâ€"end visitâ€" ing the mines and other points of inâ€" terest. Most of the leading mines of Cobalt and district were represented in the party. On Sunday the party went up the river on the Steamer Minga, enjoying a very pleasant sail and outing.

GAME BETWEEN IROQUOIS FALLS AND TIMMINS A DRAW phere . W by the The football game here on Friday last between Iroquois Falls and Timâ€" mins in the N.O.F.A. schedule for the King Cup resulted in a draw, accordâ€" ing to the offici@l score. The game was an interesting one and keenly contested. The high wind interfered with the play to a great extent, placâ€" ing the ball being a more than difâ€" ficult matter. There was a largel crowd out to see the game, the gate. being one of the largest taken in here. for a local game. Timmins should have beaten the Falls in the first haif,} having the edge on the play, but the: second half was largely the Falls. In. the first half Fearn in goal had lots of work to do and made. some pretty saves, though the Timmins forwards had some hard luck in their shooting. W. F. B. Cadman made the first seore to be counted for Timmins from a centre off Gerow, the play being a particularly clever piece of football. W. A. Field gained the other goal for Timmins just seven minutes before time. â€"‘‘Duke‘‘ (MeCurry _ «earlier in the game had made a goal in clever style, but this was disallowed by the referee on the claim of offside. The crowd hardly applaused the referee‘s decision, but the game went on. For Timmins, Street in goal won popular favour by his very clever work, He made innumerable good saves, and all through showed he ‘has the right eye, the right ‘head and the right experâ€" ience df the goalâ€"tender‘s art. The oldâ€"timers, ‘‘Fergie‘‘ and«Field playâ€" ed their usual hard, steady, effective ‘game, and Capt. Roberts, though still suffering from an injury to his leg at a recent game was right on the job and did good work. Alex,Cadman was a tower of strength in defence, and #Robertson, MeCurry, Cooper, Hawâ€" key, Véndore and Rerow all played their posittons effectively and well. â€" _ For Iroquois Falls the stars seemed to be Henderson, Bell, Miner and Dunne, each of whom played a whale of a game. One of the two goals seorâ€" ;ed by the Falls was from a penalty ~kick, Miner scoring.. The Iroquois Falls team played a fine (brand of Football. Timmins, however, had the edge on the play in the first half, and also i nthe dast ten minutes of the second half.

Field (often known as the Football Field) may be safely countâ€" ed upon ‘to play a firstâ€"class game. The admission fee is the nominal one of ten cents, so there should be a specially large crowd to cheer the bovs along. + ONE SHOW A NIGHT AT THE NEW EMPIRE THEATRE NOW Starting on Monday of this week the New Empire has gone back to its former plan of having one show each evening. :On account of the large paâ€" tronage, so large indeed that it was impossible fully to accommodate the crow@s, the New Empire some weeks agg inaugurated two. shows each night for the benefit of the theatreâ€" going public. The opening of the ‘Old Empire Theatre, however, has assistâ€" ed so much in accommodating the public that it is found now ‘quite pracâ€" tical to return for the present at least to the old plan of one show a night. TOWN NOSES OUT VICTORY OVER HOLLINGER IN GOLF In a very closely contested game, on Saturday afternoon, in the Golf schedule, a team representing The Town defeated a team from The Holâ€" linger 5 to/4. The feature of the match was the victory of John Fogg over Dick Lillie, who up to this time had been invincible. John, who was making somewhere around his 500th. round of the course this season turnâ€" ed in a very fine performance, and will be very hard to beat from now on. The remainder of the games were very close and good seores were_â€"made in spite of a strong wind and blinding dust. § Next Saturday the first Monthly Medal Handicap will be played.

A number of samples were brought to town some days ago and some of these have been on display in the window of the office af Simms &Hooker where they have attracted much attention. Some of these samples are from veins uncovâ€" cred in previous work and some from new veins just discovered. The extent and the quality of the asbestos showâ€" ings on <the Drew and (Grimston claims have attracted much notice from mining men, and this week the representatives of Montreal interests went in to Deloro to examine the proâ€" perty and report, with a view to takâ€" ing an option. The two claims owned by Messrs. Drew and Grimston are about four miles from South Poreupâ€" ine in Deloro Township. They are adjacent to the old Slade property, now owned by Messrs. Campbell and Ray. Development work on the Slade property showed it to be a very proâ€" mising asbestos property, and the Drewâ€"Grimston property is even more encouraging in its showings. It thas the right formation, with veins that hold, and witth good quality fibre. The rock alongside the veins is also richly rraded with asbestos anA this could be used for commercial purposes as well as the wellâ€"defined veins themâ€" selves.

All deâ€" \@lopmen% work has been stopped, but the mine is being kept dewatered, so the general opinion is that the closeâ€" down is only temporary. Mr. Stewart, the manager, is at present in Montreâ€" al, in connection with the closeâ€"down, it is understood. The general opinion is that the closeâ€"down results from difficulty in adjusting the Thompsonâ€" Krist end of the financing of the proâ€" perty.

The President, Mr. Bache, who was in the chair, made humorous referâ€" ence to Mr. DePencier‘s conservative methods in estimating, emphasizinz the fact that the mine manager never exaggerated the outlook or overâ€"esâ€" timated the prospects. ‘‘I call him a pessimist,"‘ said the President, who went on to say that he had never heard (Mr. DePencier speak as enthuâ€" siastically before, so it might be takâ€" en for granted that the outlook was exceedingly bright. ‘‘When he is opâ€" timistic, it speaks volumes,""‘ said the President.
