The Board of Health now is eomposed of The Mayor, the Medicâ€" al Health Officer (Dr. H. H. Moore) and Messrs.

Mr. C‘ Morâ€" gan was the representative of Tisdale "Council in the matter and had been to see the Mayor. ‘He told Mr. Morgan first to learn the exact position of the mines on the question. Timmins had shortly to enlarge its water main and ,this perhaps might be accomplished most economically by joining with the Township and the mines, provided a sutitable agreement was possible. If the mines went into any such plan they would no doubt buy the bonds which would be the only way the proâ€" jecet could be financed. ‘The question will be further considered by Council when further definite data is before the board. o ‘ Councillor Newton did not think the Town was in financial position to taks pyer any such enterprises, "‘I don‘t see how we could do anything at the pre$e'nt”time," he said. Councillor Bacon thought the town would be simâ€" ply looking for trouble to go in for buying any businesses at this time. After further discussion, the Mayor said that his idea would be to renew the "telephone franchise for a short term, say four years, so that it would expire at ‘the same time as the light and power frgnchise.

At Sudbury he thus tested out an area‘of afleged worthless lands, discovering two good bodies of nickel ore that amply repaid for the work done in the district. After Mr. Roberts had answered a number of questions asked by memâ€" bers of the Council, Councillor King lpointed out that the Town had noâ€" thing to lose by giving the option and stood a chance of making something. He thought the Council should not stand in the way of Mr. Robert‘s plan being thoroughly tested out. ‘Other members of the Council present were of the same opinion. ‘The agreement suggested had been drawn up by the Town Solicitor and the Town was proâ€" tected and guarded in every way.

The String Orchestra is another fine musical group that has delighted all hearing this orchestra. Then there is the Poreupine District Orchestra, a large and wellâ€"balanced orchestra that is sure to make a hit with music lovers. These orchestras will undoubtedly furnish a programme that will be much appreciatéd. Underâ€"the auspices of the Poreupine Branch of the Navy League there will be a highâ€"class entertainment given in the New Empire Theatre on Sunday evening, Feb. 5th, after the church services.

O. extension are subâ€"letting part of the work, but will do the ballasting, trackâ€" laying, etc., directly under their own contract. In the case of contracts and subâ€"contracts alike Ontario labour is to be used. Regarding the report in circulation last.â€"week that the greater part of the labour employed on the construction of the extension would be brought in from outside, Mr. Lee said_there was no truth in such a report. All the labour to be employed would be On* tario labour. ~This was specified very clearly in the agreement with the conâ€" tractors. All the outside labour will be the few heads of departments that will naturally be necessary for the carrying out of the contract. The laâ€" bour in general, however, will all be Ontario people. The report, Mr. Lee thought, arose from a confused conâ€" ceptoin of the announcement that the contractors were subâ€"letting part &r the work but would do the bigger part themselves. Of course this meant the usual procedure of subâ€"letting, but all the subâ€"contractors will be under the some provision ‘as.the contractors in regard to employing Ontario labour. Mr. Geo, W. Lee, Chairman of the T. & N. 0. Railway Commission, was a visitor to town on Saturday last. Mr. Lee is optimistic as to the prosâ€" pects for the development of the North Land following the building of the T. & N. 0. extension north from Cochrane. The new line he believes will open up a country of great posâ€" sthilities and very rich in resources such as pulpwood, timber, water powâ€" er, etc., to say nothing of the chances for agriculture and general settleâ€" ment.

This attendâ€" ance was a record one for an opening night, special interest no doubt being attracted by the fact that the opening address of the course was oneâ€"by Mr. A. F,. Brigham, general manager of the Hollinger Mine.» Those attendiaz found themselves well repaid indeed for their ~attendance. . The address was of special interest and value. Mr. Brigham gave a talk on the history of mining and the value of education among miners. His address held the very closest attention of all and was both pleasing and informative, and much appreciated.

The ceremonies were under the direction of Grand Master Hamilton, of Fort Many Distinguished Visitors at Insâ€" titution Ceremonies. Over 40 Members in New Lodge. AUSPICIOUS OPENING OF 1.0.0.f. L0DGE AT ALWS The teams lining up for (Monday evening‘s game were the same as for Saturday night‘s game with the exâ€" eeption of Cosser being in goal, and Parker being on in place of Kelly, the latter being injured in a collision beâ€" fore the game commenced. The speâ€" cial features of the game included the fatt that thirty minutes overtime was necessary and then the game was still tide, Another feature was the battle royal put up by the visitors despite their defeat in the Saturday game. They came back with such a snap and determination, that they won many of the erowd over to their side. The Porâ€" cupine team had to work every minute of the game. Another feature was the fact that Frank MeGuire‘s brilliant The play was a little ragged in spots but after the game was onee well unâ€" der way the Poreupine boys all playâ€" ed a good game and all worked hard. Scully did great work in goal and he can safely be thanked for the small score agamist the local team. He was stopping them all and they were quite a few at that, though Liskeard showâ€" ed a little weak in shooting. Don Campbell seored the first of the evenâ€" ing in less than a minute and a half, the second and only other seore of the period being by Brennan about five minutes before time. Some good comâ€" bination work by both teams featured this period. In the second period Cox and Brennan did some fine work, and Frank ‘MeGuire starred with his cleâ€" ver > rushes, scoring two goals and sending in some snappy other ones that gave Elliott the chanee to show his quickness and skill. MeCurry as usual was working hard and effectiveâ€" ly every minute he was on the ice and Cameron with his wonderful poke check was a great strength to the team. Cameron‘s checking sometimes brings what looks lilke mndeserved penalties, but they| seldom or ever get by him. Although with a 4 to 0 seore against them at the end of the second period Liskeard finished strong and started the third with surprising snap. Spence worked his way through and seored for Liskeard in four minutes. The play got fasy after this and the last period was lively hockey. Elliott was peppered but made a number of brilliant saves. Hogg got a second for Liskeard, and then Frank and Caâ€" meron after some nice work got anâ€" other in, Cameron‘s shot being too much for Elliott. Kelly, who was working hard when on the ice made the sixth for Poreupine with a dandy shot. The final score was made by Frank McGQuire in one of his now faâ€" mous rushes where his head work and stickâ€"handling fool them all. for. hard played good hockey. Elliott, in goal, did his work well and made a number of very clean saves. He had lots of work and did well. And the rest of the: team have nothing to apologize for. They played well and worked New Liskeardâ€"Elliott, goal ; Eplett and Hogge, defence; Thompson, Burns and Spence, forwards; Robertson and A. Burns, spares. For the visitors, the stars were Spence and Thompson, both of whom New Liskeard Senior NO.H.A. team visited Timmins last week for the schedule games here and those who may have thought they would be an eas¢ team to trim got a big surprise. They played hard all through and took some beating, finishing up stroi{g. In spots they had the best of the play and they had to be watched every minute they were on the ice. Saturday evening the Poreupine team won by a score‘of 7 to 2, but this score hardly represents the play. Monday evening after 30 minutes overtime the game was a tie. Of course, the chief interâ€" est was shown in the exciting and elose contest of Monday but Saturâ€" day‘s game d much of interest beâ€" ing keenly contested by the visitors. Mr. Geo. Dufresne, of Sudbury, handlâ€" ed both games and showed himself a fair, impartial and unusually compeâ€" tent referee,. He got all the offsides, and this hampered Liskeard, but it may be remarked on the side that if one or two of the Liskeard team would forget that offside stuff they, would strengthen the team to an exâ€" tert that would be surprising. Lisâ€" keard lost several good chances here though being caught on offside stuff. The lineâ€"up for Saturday‘s game. was as follows :â€" | Poreupineâ€"Scully,. goal; )IcGuirel and McCurry, defence; Campbell, Caâ€" meron and Brennan, forwards; Cox] and Kelly, spares. New Liskeard Ties With Porcupine in Exciting Game Monday. Lost With 7 to 2 Score Saturday. GAME A 5â€"5 TIE AFTER 30 MINUTES OVERTIME (Monday ne as for 1 the exâ€" goal, and For Liskeard the stars were Spence and Thompson, offsides, however, handicapping the latter. Hogg and Eplet worked strenously and the other members of the team also did their part. ‘The play was uneven in spots, but there was much good fast hockey, esâ€" pecially in the last half hour or so. At the end of the first period the seore was 1 all. At the end of the second 2 all. At the end of the third 3 all. The first period of overtime made it Lne swiltt tricky sort that all the goal keepers find so hard to keep out. Cosâ€" ser played a good game for the home team, making a number of brilliant saves. He was given lots of work during the evening and showed up well. Duke MeCurry plays his best every minute he‘is on the ice, but Monday night he was handicapped by injuries received. He stayed in the game, however, and did good work. Parker and Brennan, as is their way, worked kard and kept the game lively and going. Cameron with his unfailâ€" ing poke check was" unvaluable and his rushes particularly in the overâ€" time were dangerous for Liskeard. Cox was watched so closely by. Lisâ€" keard, that team knowing him well of old, that it was hard for him to get away, but some of his rushes had Lisâ€" keard on the anxious seat. Campbeil worked hard and effectively while on the ice. £ all after q lively exhibition of hoâ€" ckey with Qboth teams going their hardest. . The seeond overâ€"time period again saw each team seore one each, but the third overtime period was scoreless though Liskeard and Porâ€" cupine alike worked their heads off. work played a noticeable part in every goal scored for the local team. He was in his oldâ€"time form and went through time and again and his wicked shots tested Elliott out fully as a goal tenâ€" der. Frank was directly responsible for four of the goals scored for the Porcupine team, and all his shots were the swift tricky sort that all the goal The standing of the teams is as lows :â€" ; Iroquois Falls, won 5; lost 1; play 6. f (Poreupine, won 4; tied 1; lost 3 play 4. 7 New play 6.

New Liskeard wired the«Falls to this effect this morning. ‘The article on another page referring to New . Liskeard dropping out was in print before this later inâ€" formation was received by The Adâ€" vance. It was quite correct yesterday, but in view of the reconsideration of New Liskeard is all now supérseded and rendered null and void by the better news in this articleâ€"that Lisâ€" keard stays in the League. Iroquois Falls will play the two games at Liskeard this week, Thursâ€" day and Saturday. ‘Mr. Augus Campâ€" bell will he the referee for both games. No one would be surprised if Liskeard took a win from the Falls in these games. Liskeard has a nice little Team of clever and hardâ€"working playâ€" ers and they ‘have showed such good sportmanship that popular interest is aroused. When they played in Timâ€" mins this week they got a bunch of cheers from local fans just on their merits. If Liskeard were to pull one or more victories from the Falls it would, of course, help the chances of the (Poreuping / teamâ€" for group honours, and. so they mayw expect help from prayers from here as well as from their own fans. A wire received this morning fron* Jroquois Falls gives the information, pleasing to all hockey fans hereâ€" abouts, that New Liskeard has reâ€" considered the matter and has now definitely decided to stay in the N.O.
