On Saturday night, about midnight, Nightwatchman Guest discovered that the store of Hanna as Co, was on fire, and at once wended the alarm that summoned the Brigade to duty. Not- • withstanding that the worst blizzard of the season was raging, the firemen responded promptly, and soon had several streams of water playing on the building. The fire seemed to have originated in the second storey, at the west ena, and as a fierce west wind prevailed, the Wilding was soon in a mass of flames. The firemen worked hard under difficulties, and deserve credit for their work, At times the wind blew the streams of water into spray and drenched the men who held the hose. The severe cold soon froze their coats and mitts stiff. Neverthe- less, with frozen garments and some with frost-bitten hands, they fought the fire until the flames were under control, and the adjoining building saved. The work of the brigade should be appreciated, for they did excellent work in the face of a raging -blizzard. The building was totally destroyed ; nothing was saved from the second, flat, where there were dry - goods, ready-nutde clothing, furs and carpets ; of the latter there was a recent purchase of $1000 worth. A considerable portion of the stock on the main floor was earlier] out by will- ing workers. The adjacent building to the south, occupied by Alex. Ross, as express and telegraph office, and Miss Little as millinery store, was saved, but Miss Little's stock will stif- fer by removal. A family named Kendall occupied the second storey Of this building, but their goods were not removed and suffered no loss. The 'insurance on Hanna & Ws Stock Is as follows :- /10/ab British & Mercantile a5,000 l3ritisk Arneriean 2,000 London Mutual 3,000 Wellington , 1,325 Perth Mutual 1,325 Cana d i an •. 3,500 'Traders' 1,500 Anglo-American 1,000 Equity 1,000 There was $2,000 insurance on the building, in the Waterloo Mutual Co. The site is too valuable to .remain long vacant. hut little can be said at time of writing as to rebuilding. How the fire originated cannot be stated with certainty but as it com- menced in the second storey, it may have been from the furnace pipe, though everything appeared all right, scarcely an hour before, when the store was closed for the night. The gale carried the blazing brands some distance, and Mr. Ritchie's stable caught fire, but as he was on the watch, it was soon extinguished, The Town Hall was in danger of a scorch- ing but it escaped injury. On Mon- day the goods saved were removed to the store lately occupied by M, S. L. Homuth, and there the customers of - the firm will find them in a few days ready for business once more. Until the salvage is estimated, the loss can- not be correctly ascertained, Mrs. Ranson, of the National Hotel, gave the firemen a warm lunch. The boys needed the refreshments and sin- cerely appreciated Mrs. Hanson's thoughtful kindness on such a cold, stormy night.

The Executive committee reported as follows :- 1 -Regarding the request of the Bank of Commerce for part of Town's business; no change could be made until end of year as accounts had al- ready been opened. 2 -Regarding Turnberry's demand for taxes on Electric Light plant ; that as there is room to doubt the legality of the claims, the Council take steps to ascertain if the plant is liable for taxation, and in the meantime the township be paid the same as before, but under the same conditions.

Reading were appointed Fence - viewers. F. Patterson was appointed Pound - keeper on motion of Reeve Irwin and Conn, McDonald. Coun. McDonald moved, Coml. Nic- holson seconded, the re-appointinent of Chief Vannorman as Chief of Police and Chief of Fire Company. The duties of the Chief were then read, on request of Conn. Gordon. • Coun. Herr asked if the Chief was aware that it was his duty to enforce the Liquor License Act, and called at- tention to the Statutes in that regard. The License Inspector could not be in every municipality continually, to en- force the law, but the Act provides that "Every policeman or constable or iospector shall be deemed to he within the provisions of this Act," and in case of wilful neglect on the part of the chief police or constable to prosecute for the punhatment of any offence against the provisions of this Act, he shall incur a penalty for each and every snch neglect. Conn. McDonald thought the law was better observed in Wingham than in other towns, and thought it was the duty of others, as well as the Chief, to enforce the law, if they - Wished to see it kept. Coma Herr asked whose duty it was -that of the private citizen, or of the officers of the law, to enforce haw? The motion for the re -appointment of Chief Vannorman was then put and passed. Reeve Irwin and Coun. McDonald moved that this Council express its appreciation of the energetic and faithful work of the Fire Brigade at the Hanna fire-earried with applause. On 'notion of Coun's Kerr and Gor- don, Wm. Guest was re -appointed Caretaker of cemetery, and Night- watchman, salary same as last year. It. Rankin was re -appointed Bell- ringer at same salary. Coun. Nicholson moved, Reeve Ir- win eeeonded-that this Council peti- tion the Postmaster -General to have thespostofflee remain open to box - holders nntil 0 p.m. -carried. Mr. Atvde appealed to the Council against what he deemed an injustice in having to pay n transient trader's license. Conn. Gregory thought the fee in sueh a case was unjust and tended to injure the town ; there should be dis- crimination between a man coming in with bankrupt stock and one pur- chasing an established business, Tteeve Irwin moved, Conn, Merlon - tad seeonded-that the matter of Tran- sient Traders' license be referred to the Executive committee to report at next meeting -tarried.

Dtan SIR. -At the meeting of the Town Council on Monday evening, the Chief Police made a statement in reply to my question re enforcing the Liquor License Act, to the effect -that an officer would be appointed in the near future to enforce the provisions of this Act; provision had been made by the Ontario Government for the appointment of such an officer. But I would respectfully draw his atten- tion to the fact that this action on the part of the Government does not in any way relieve him of any responsi- bility in the matter. Section 128, Liq- uor License Act, provides that -"The license commissioaers, with the sanc- tion of the Lieutenant -Governor in Conncil, may appoint one or more officers to , enforce the provisions of this Act," &c. But Sec. 129 provides that -"Every officer so appointed un- der this Act, every policeman or con- stable or inspector shall be deemed to be within the provisions of this Act," &c. Sec. 134 reads as follows -"It shall be the duty of every officer, policeman, constable or inspector in each municipality to see that the soy- eral provisions of this Act are duly observed, and to proceed by informa- tion and otherwise prosecute for the punishment of any offence against the provisions of this Act, and in case of wilful neglect or default in so doing in any case, such officer, polieeman, eonstable or inspector shall incur a penalty of $10,00 besides costs, for each and every such neglect and de- fault." The Act also provides that "Any officer or policeman eonvicted of violating the provisions of this see - tion may be summarily dismissed," The Act, you will see, provides that it is not the duty of the specially ap- pointed officer osrve, but of EVERT policeman, constable and inspector, to enforce the provisions of this Act. Yours truly, JOHN KURR, Personals Mr, Geo. Mason spent Sunday in Loudon, Mrs. Sletnnion of Ethel is visiting her neice, Mrs. Robt, Mrs. Edgar Jeffrey of London is the guest of Mrs, Robt.J'oluiston.

The Presbyterian Choir of Winghant was spending a social evening there, and abont eleven o'clock were enjoy- ing refreshments, when it was discov- ered that the house was on fire. Solite of the contents down -stairs were saved, but as the fire appeared to have got inside the partitions, the building could not be saved. The West Suffers. Telegraphic despatches give serious reports of the loss and suffering in the Northwest, on account of the severe winter there, and the shortage of fuel. These reports are canfirmed by letters from residents there to their friends in Ontario. Front Regina comes the word that the situation is alarming, with the thermometer at 50 below zero, railways blocked, and extreme scarcity of fuel. Even in Winnipeg fuel is scarce, for it is said the City re- quires 150 carloads of coal daily, and the supply is only fifty cars. The situation is worse farther west. For His Brother. A successful operation was per- formed in London, Jan. 31st, by which four strips of skin, one inch by six inches, were removed from Samuel Anderson's thigh and grafted on his brother's side. James Anderson, a Grand Trunk fireman, while under bis engine a few months ago, was terribly burned by red hot coals, The wounds did not heal, and his sister, aged eighteen, offered to allow the required skin to be cut from her body. Her brother, however, insisted that he take her place. Both patients are re- ported to be progressing favorably. D. M. Gordon's January Sale of all lines of Furs at cost, is on now ; also Ladies' and Misses' Coats, Youths', Boys' and Men's Clothing and all win- ter goods will go at cost or under. Come to this great sale. A New Survey. W. H. Green has three acres and a half of land near the C. P. R., on the north side of Patrick street, which he intends to sell for town lots. 0. Lloyd & Son had intended to 'mild thereon, but the firm has decided not to build a new factory at present, so Mr. Green has employed a surveyor to divide it into fourteen building lots. We un- derstand that Mr. Bennett has seenred two of them and will build two houses for renting, during the coming sum- mer. John Wilson will remove build- ings from the front street to lots near the public school, and build a block. Mr. Elliott proposes to remove the building now occupied by A. Ross and Miss Little, to a lot on Frances street, and fit it up for a dwelling. It is alto- gether likely that a fine block will then occupy the lot-, where the build- ing now stands and the site of Hanna's store, recently burned. The Bank of Commerce intends to erect, a fine building opposite Lite McDonald block, and Geo. McKenzie intends erecting a store. These, with other projected improvements, indicate that our town will make substantial gains diwieg the year 1907. The South Huron Man. The Toronto TeIegratii has a column of racy references to Harry Eilber, M. L. A. for Sonth Huron. Prom it we select the following :-The democratic German gentIenum, who smokes the pipe, while a forest of cigars are being burned, is Herr Hentieli Eilber, aged 49, the clever Government member from South Huron, Herr Eilber can smoke more fine cuts, smile more smiles, think more thoughts, tell more yarns and make more friends than any other Deutscher up in his court- . try. He comes to Premier Whitney from among the thrifty old Father - insiders, who have made South Huron blossom with something more useful than the cabbage rose. VII in Credi- ton, where the Herr Legislator con- ducts an insurance business, honesty and insurance are his two best poli- cies. When a man wants his house insured he endorses an Miller inset - twee policy. When he wishes the welfare of the Provincial Rouse in- sured he endorses Eilber's honest, political policy. lip in the Eilber ing a great many bave forgotten the names of the political patties.

It will be seen by the minutes, the Council passed a unanimous vote of appreciation of the excellent work of the 'firemen at the Hanna fire. There are always fault-finders, and very often those who find fault know but little of the difficulties the firemen have to contend with. Ono hears - "Why don't they do" this, that, or something else, when those who are fighting the fire are doing their level best under the circumstances. The firemen get very little pay, and are ready to turn out day or night, storm or sunshine, to save property, The least thing the townspeople can do is to encourage thein. The work they did early on Sunday morning, in the face of a raging blizzard, was com- mendable, and the Council was : thoughtful in recognizing the efficien- : ey of the brigade, and did well to ac- knowledge it by a vote of appreciation, which passed with applause. It is no fun to fight a fire in such a storm, , drenched with water, clothing frozen and hands benumbed with cold. Everybody should give the boys a woad of encouragement. No citizen I is immune, and the brigade would rally promptly to save your property in case of danger. Just received, 20,000 new colored • pictorial post cards of Wingham views.-Knox's Jewelry Store. Letter From China. Mr, Wm. Wellwood is in receipt of a letter from his daughter, who has gone as a missionary to China. The letter was written on Christmas day, on the river steamer, about one thou- sand miles inland from the seaport where she landed. 'rhe missionaries seemed to enjoy their tedious journey inland as well as could be expected, though they are not in love with Chi- nese cookery, everything being satur- ated with lard, and having a peculiar odor, that does not tend to stimulate the appetite. Several walled cities and dreadful -looking towns had been passed, and from the throngs of peca ple, it was not hard to realize that so large a proportion of the world's popu- lation are in China. They walked through one city, but the dirt, filth and odors were beyond description. At Hankow the party changed cars (no, boats) and remained for a day. Here they visited a hospital and school under the care of the Wesleyan Meth- odist Church of England. At first they were almost torn to pieces by the ricsha men, all wanting to take them, until a policeman used his club on the men freely. Here were rows of mud houses, with roofs of reeds, something like the matting that comes around tea chests. Pigs were running in and out of the houses. A dirty, muddy stream ran through the city, and here were several women washing. They sit on a low stool at the edge, and after- Malang the clothes in the water awhile they lay them on a stone and beat them with a flat stick, shake them in the water again, wring them out, and they are done. They wash their vegetables in the same stream. Miss Wellwood writes -Columns have been written of China: the half was never told. Streets so narrow, one can almost reach across; shops and huts close together on each side of the street, except an occasional open spot where a nmd-hole furnished recreation for the pigs. We went wriggling through pigs, hens, grats and China- men, oecitsionally stepping to one side to avoid stepping on the insides of it pig, lien, or something just as bad. We passed beggars in rags, shoe- makers, barbers at wm lc, people clean- ing chickens, making stn e that no "lard" went to waste. Now, if yon can imagine the odors 1 1 could not, until they greeted my nose. There is one thing about them, you have vari- ety, to keep it from getting tnonoto- nous, We reached the Hospital, where we were kindly received.
