Once Was Changed to fi\prhloe. Still Mystery as to Why the Mountain Was Named Chiminis. Thought to Have Once Been a V olcano. A recent paragraph in The Advance has called; forth a number of very interesting facts about some place names in this district. The paraâ€" graph in this paper was as follows:â€" ‘‘AX couple of weeks ago The Adâ€" _ ‘*A couple of weeks ago The Adâ€" vance asked The New Liskeard Speakâ€" er to explain why Chiminis Mounâ€" tain was so named, The Speaker havâ€" ing said that Chiminis Station on the T. N. O. was named after the mountain. But all ~the reply The Speaker gives is:‘‘Ask us something easy !‘‘ vet The Speaker has answerâ€" ed harder questlons than that about the mountain‘s name.‘ To this The New Liskeard Speaker makes most interesting reply giving much valuable historieal date. The Speaker still is unable to state whv the mountain was called ‘‘Chiminis,‘ but the Liskeard paper comes pretty close perhaps, to telling why the mountain was in the first place, or how it came, suvgestmg that it was of voleanic origin. In giving the origin of the mountain , instead of the origin of the name The Speaker has done well, but still The Advance thirsts for knowledge as to why Chiminis Mountain was so named If anybody asked the T. N. O. why they named the station at the Quebeo border on the Rouyn line ‘‘Chiminis‘‘ the railway folks have the apt reply the mountain, of course!" why was the mountain so namâ€" ed ?" The Speaker was asked. after the volceano!‘‘ is the reâ€" ply mdlcated Now, why in the name of Honourable “1111(1111 Lyon Macâ€" kenzie King, exâ€"M. P., was the volâ€" canop called Chiminms? However, here is the article in full from The Speaker, for which The Advance returns sincere thanks not only for its own sake but for the sake of all interepted in historical data reâ€" garding this North Land :â€" ‘‘Honest, there is nothing within reason The Speaker would not do to please The Advance, and after readâ€" ing the above paragraph we decided, if it were at: all possible, to give the information asked for. Luckily, we consulted one of our townsmen who is keenly interested in geology, Mr. Thomas MceCamus, and learned that he and the late Prof. Miller were in the neighborhood of the mountain to which reference is made, in 1906, It was pointed out to Mr. MeCamus as Mount Chiminis. We were shown a photo of the mountain taken by our townsman, Mr. James E.. Thompson, at Beaver House Lake, 30 miles distant, and from this photo one would imâ€" agine that there was a fine plateau on top of the mountain, but Mr. MeCamâ€" us thinks there is a small lake there. Some believe that this mountain was once a voleano, and that after many yearms when eruption caesed and the crater was filled with debris, a lake was formed. We make these suggesâ€" tions merely from what is said by those who have been at the top of the mountain which, Prof,. Miller said, was seven hundred feet high. Photos taken at close range, we were told, _show that the mountain resemibles in appearance a large, neatly bult stack of hay. The best view of the mounâ€" tain is from the east arm of Larder Lake. It is about three miles from the boundary and well within the Province of Quebec. What makes its appearance so striking, perhaps is beâ€" ‘cause it arises out of a comparatively level country, as we judge by the photograph. ~‘*But to come back to the question submitted, Why was this mountain called© Chiminis (pronounced _ as though spelled shiminey)? We do not know, but we might be permitted to offer the suggestion that it was beâ€" cause of its resemblance of the Naâ€" tional Policy chimneys we heard so much about in 1878. ‘‘‘When we made our first visit to Northern Ontario, thirtyâ€"one years ago last August, what we now call "‘Temiskaming‘‘ was spelled ‘‘Temisâ€" camingue.‘‘ This meant amongst the Indians, ‘"‘temis,‘‘ _ deep, and ‘‘mingue,‘‘ water. "Two years later Capt. Jones, the literary man of the Lumsden. Steamâ€" boat Lineâ€"and formerly a printerâ€" got out a very attractive illustrated folder containing photographic views of various pretty spots on the lake and in the glens. In this folder Capt. Jones changed the spelling from its original to ‘‘Temiskaming.‘‘ In Onâ€" tario this spelling has been followed, and is the official spelling and should be followed in legal documents In the Ontario act constituting this part of Nipissing into an electoral district, the new constituency is spelled ‘‘Teâ€" miskaming.‘‘ But, in the spelling of this electoral district for the Dominâ€" ion we‘find an ‘‘i‘‘ substituted for an ‘"e‘‘ thus: ‘‘Timiskaning.‘‘ Sehoo!l teachers should make a note of what we have said, because it is confusing to children as well as to older people to see Temiskaming spelled ‘‘Timisâ€" kaming‘‘ on the Dominion maps. ‘"*In the spelling of Temiskaming in the charter of the T. H. B. Mining Co. the letter ‘*c‘‘ is substituted for the letter ‘‘k‘‘ thus ‘‘Temiscaming,"‘ but this is not official. ‘‘The naming of New Liskeard also might be told‘ in this connection, alâ€" though the story is very familiar to many of us. ‘‘Originally, all the land belonged to an Indian Chief named Wabis, and even yet, sometimes a deéscendant Chief Wabis puts up a claim to the Ontario Government for possession of the town. Mr. William Murray bought all the land from Chief Wabis, and sold the south side to a company of about six men from the town of Huntsville. One of the leaders of the company was Mr. George Paget an Englishman. The naming of the then embyro town was left to him, and he named it for his native English town, * After a post office had been estabâ€" lished here for some. time, the Post Office Department gave out notice that there was another ‘‘Liskeard‘‘ in Onâ€" tario, and asked the people here to select another name. At this particuâ€" lar timeâ€"shall we say, psychological moment, His Lordship, Bishop Thornâ€" loe, made his first visit here and some of his friends at once suggested that the town be named in his honor; and in ‘‘no time‘‘ a petition was sent to Ottawa and the name was changed from ‘‘Liskeard‘‘ to ‘‘Thornloe.‘" this is a nice name, and many of us would have been satisfied had there been no more said about it. But it did not satisfy the Huntsville Company, and later a public meeting was held when neither of these names were favored, the name ‘‘Carsanna,"‘‘ receiving the majority of votes. However, the opponents would not stand for what they called ‘‘canned salmon,.‘‘ and a visit to Toronto by Mr. John Armstrong and a talk with the Provincial Secretary ended all further squabbling. and the name ever since has been ‘‘New Liskeard;‘‘ and it is a good young town, ((reference, the Police Magistrate), and is on the map to stay. DALZELL‘S FIRST SALE PROVING BIG SUCCESS The sale started on Saturday at W.

Dr. MceDougall was presentâ€" ed with a handsome travelling lbag by Mayor D. Barker on behalf of the citizens of North Bay.
