The interest taken in the Boy Scout movement was clearly evidenced by the large audi- ence assembled in the school room of the Presbyterian church here on Fri- day evening last, at the Boy Scout concert. A duet from Mr. and Mrs. Mullen, vocal solos by Messrs. John Beattie, Dalton Reid, George Israel and Master James Stewart, readings by Mrs. J. C. Greig and Miss McLean were all very much enjoyed and ap- preciated. The Boy Scout code its aim and meaning was well brought out in the recitations of _Jack Oughton, Gordon Carnochan arid A. Beattie while the frank and intelligent rendering of these selections was quite refresh- ing to the audience. The "Cubs," or Junior Scouts, gave two choruses, in which they were accompanied on the piano by Master Edward Rankin. The. boys sang well, particualrly in their Hike song, which they gave with the true Scout spirit. The practical side of Scout work, also had a place on the programme in signalling and first aid drills., The principles and methods were clearly and concise- ly given. by Mr. Edward Archibald, and most efficiently and deftly dein- onstrated by Wm. Laing: -Chas. Stog- dill, Wm. Aberhart and Donald Kers- lake. A very pleasing number Ion the programme was the presentation. by Mr. J. G. Mullen of the badges .to the "Cubs," to Mrs. C. Brodie, who. has charge of the work with the cubs and Mr. Fowler and Mr. Laing, scout masters. The cubs who received badges by reason of their work were Russel Holmes, Jack Oughton, Arthur Edmunds. George Smith, Fred Willis, George Charters, = Archie' Somerville, Edward Rankin, Harry McLeod, Nel- son Cardno, Frank Kling and Andrew McLean. Short, practical addresses were given by Rev. F. H. Larkin, D.D., the Chairman and Mr. F. T. Fowler, Principal of the public school. Miss Willis and Miss Nlerner were the accompanists. The proceeds amount- ed to $55.25. Seaforth Girl Gets Prominent Posi- tion.—The Regina Morning Leader of Thursday last announced the ap- pointment of Miss Isabelle Cummings to the position of Secretary of the De- partment of Agriculture for the Province of Saskatchewan. Miss Cummings is a 'sister of Mr. John Cummings, James Street, and a former well known Seaforth girl. The Leader says: "Miss Isabelle Cum- mings yesterday was appointed secre- tary of the Department of Agriculture, provincial government, and has the distinction of being the first woman, in Canada to be appointed to such a 'position. Hon. C. M. Hamilton, made the announcement yesterday, and this morning Miss Cummings takes over her new duties. Miss Cummings came to Regina twelve years ago from Seaforth, Ontario, and eleven years ago entered the civil service. For three years she was secretary to Major Mantle, deputy minister of agriculture, and for six years secre- tary to Hon. W. R. Motherwell, Min- ister of the Department. During the, past year she has been engaged In' various departmental works. The work of the Department of Agricul--f tura during the ,recent years has de- veloped many new lines, some of which formed the nucleus of new de- partments, such as the department of public Works,department of labor and industry. The department of agriculture is now organized under six different sections, including the .. livestock branch, field crops, co-opera- tion •and markets, game and museum and statistics. During the year many miscellaneous matters are; referred to the department, and in order to get the greatest efficiency and effective- ness, the minister has decided to organize the new position of secre- tary, with Miss Cummings in charge. The appointment of Miss Cummings, stated one of the officials of the de- partment, is a very popular one, and comes as a reward well merited. Dur- ing her period of . service, Miss Cum- mings has proved an efficient and capable official and the general know- ledge of the work of the department which she has acquired will be of inestimable value in carrying out the new policy inaugurated by Hon. Mr. Hamilton. - Garage for Sale. ---12x10 feet, built to move. Apply W. J.

The fire is supposed to have originated from a spark from the smoke stack, alighting in some flax which was spread out at the side of the building to dry, In a few seconds the fire was carried by the main drive belt through the loading shoot into the second story and al- most immediately the whole building was a mass of flames, and it was with difficulty that some of the men inade their escape. Beftre an alarm was turned in the fire had made such way in the inflammable material, that the firemen, owing to -the lack of fire protection in the outskirts of the town could do little with it, and in half an hour nothing but the bare walls remained. The brigade how- ever did succeed in saving the engine room, which was separated from the main building by a fire proof wall. For some months the mill has been running clay and night, employing thirty-five men- in the day time, and some -twenty at night, and there was still about two months' work ahead to finish last year's crop. While the property was fully insured the in- direct loss to the company will be a heavy one as the mill was a modern one in every respect and it is difficult to obtain. new machinery at the present time. We understand,• how- ever, that the Company will rebuild in time to handle the new crop, as they have contracted for a large acre- age in this vicinity, which they are now seeding, and are anxious to ob- kain still more land from the farmers.
