Hanna's Store Destroyed, THE LOCAL MARKETS.
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.

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.

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,

COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor of the Advance.
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,

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.

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.

Services Appreciated.
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.

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. There
is a men's weed, also welds for women
and childten. The children had just
received their Xmas presents, and
sang for us, in Chinese, "flark the
Herald Angels sing." 1 eatne back to
the hotel inore gratified than ever
that I had been born in a Christian
hind. If ever a land needed Christian
influences, this 4008. In the afternoon
We visited another hospital under the
