Beer was 5 cents a glass, and lunch was free.. Laborers worked ten hours a day and never went on strike. No tips were given waiters, and you didn‘t have to give the hat checker money to get your hat after you paid three times as much for a meal as it was worth. A coal stove in the parlour, a kerosâ€" ine hanging lamp in the sitting room, the family horse and phaeton in the stable, represented the height of wealth and luxury. And now, my dear friends, think about toâ€"day : Everyone rides in automobiles or flies in aeroplanes, plays golf, poker, bridge and cooncan, ard shoots craps. Everyone goes nightly to theatres or movies, listens to grand opera on the phonograph, ‘or via radio, and. perâ€" torms on the piano with his feet. Woollen underwear is vulgar, and the only charms the ladies hide are their ears. Everybody smokes cigarâ€" ettes and violates the Prohibition Act. No one ever goes to bed the same day that they get up, and everyone blames thr high cost of living on the politician, and after drinking toilet water, hair tonic, Eau de Cologne and lemon extract makes himself believe that he is having a hell of a time. > Men wore whiskers and boots, chewâ€" ed tobaceo, spat on the sidewalks and cussed. New Year. These are days of suffragetting, proâ€" fiteering, excess taxes, country clubs hundred miles an hour living and proâ€" hibition, and if you feel, in spite of it all, as we do, that life is worth living, it is a real and definite pleasure for us to extend to you that old fashioned but very sincere wish, A Happy At the outset let us take you back 30 years. Do you remember when eggs were 10 cents per dozen and milk 0 cents a quart; the butcher gave soup bones and liver away, and treatâ€" ed the kids with bologna; the hired girl got $2.00 per week and did the washing. Women didn‘t play bridge, poker, gamble,â€" paowder and paint. They didn‘t smoke, vote, go without wollen underwear, taugleâ€"toddle or shake the shimmic. In gseveral recent issues of The Advance there have been references to the good old times of this good old North Land and this good old world. The number of these references may be due to the truth of the old saying that ‘‘one thing brings up another,"‘ as the man said when he was seasick. In any event there has beenâ€" almost an epidemic of reminiscences and conâ€" trasts of the life and customs of toâ€" day with those of 10, 20, 30 and 40 years ago. One of the cleverest reâ€" views of life and customs as toâ€"day and thirty years ago is given in a letter from a mining man to an old friend at The Pas, Manitoba. The Pas Herald publishes the letter in full saying it was received by Bill Shore from an oldâ€"time friend, and aptly expresses public sentiment by those old enough to remember "the good old days.‘‘ The letter is as follows :â€" Hello! Here we are, parked in old Winniâ€" peg, all surrounded by the Holiday Spirit, with nothing to do but think and develop a New Year‘s Greeting. Received your lovely Christmas Card and was very much pleased to be remembered. THE DIFEERENGE BETWEEN KOW AKNO TKE Mining Man Gives Clever Summary of the Comparison Between 1926 and 1896 Empress of France...... Feb. 9 CRUISES MEDITERRANEAN FROM SAINT JOHN, N.B. To Liverpool Montrovalâ€"March 1. ‘*Each one of these two portions of timber limit areas contains such a large quanitity of pulpwood as to supâ€" ply a pulp and paper mill for an inâ€" definite period of years. ‘‘The Honourable Minister, James Lyons has put up for sale two specific areas of, timber limits, in the District of Cochrane, along the Ground Hog and Mattagami Rivers. One portion, composed of eighteen townships, is loâ€" cated at an average distance of twenâ€" tyâ€"five miles from the C. N. R. track in the village of Fauquier, and covers 1549 square miles. e as ‘‘The other portion, composed of same number of townships and coverâ€" ing 1440 square miles, is located at about thirtyâ€"five miles from the vilâ€" lage of Pauquier, north of the C. N. R. track. is to show the best plans. Capital is inclined, naturally, to feel that deâ€" veloping two water powers where one could answer the purpose would be the opposite ‘of economy. Also those concerned with pulp and paper mills believe that very large limits indeed are necessary to assure enough pulpwood ‘‘to supply a pulp and paâ€" per mill for an indefinite period, of yeans.‘‘ The Government also will feel that it is better to have one pulp and paper mill than none at all, and it is recognized that favourable terms are necessary to induce new indusâ€" tries to locate in the North Land Everyone will wish that Fauquier and Moonbeam and every place else in the North Land be given the very best opportunity for development and adâ€" vancement. But all these things are more or less affected jby conditions and cireumstances. The Advance beâ€" lieves that the Government will deal with the question in the way that will mean the advancement of the best interests of the North Land. It segems to be that type of a. Governâ€" ;the meantime Mr. Tremâ€" blay and the Council of Fauquier and Moonbeam have done special service to the North by bringing forward the question for consideration. The municipal councils of both Fauquier and Moonbeam have forwarded reâ€" solutions to the Premier and to the Minister of Lands and Forests dealâ€" ing with the proposal>~. The Advance is sure these resolutions will be careâ€" fully considered. Whether they are successful or not in their purpose the resolutions will have good effect. When the citizens take keen and acâ€" tive interest in matters of public policy, the country is sure to reap advantage. ' ‘*‘A great opportunity is now given to the Provinceial Cabinet to help our development, and 1 have no doubt that the Honourable Members will not hesitate to aet fairly and rightly toâ€" wards the pioneers of colonization in Fauquier and Moonbeam by dealing in the following matters, to know : ‘*The Provineial Government seems to think a lot of Northern Ontario‘s future developments as industrial and agricultural country in coming years. I think the same, and believe there are not enough citizens of Southern Ontario who know the rich resourées the Northern part of our Province possesses. The letter from Mr. Tremblgy exâ€" plains itself, and is as follows :â€" ‘*I hope you will grant me with the favor to express through your large publicity the wishes of the settlers of Fauquier and Moonbeam, im order to promote the intereist and development of colonization in our section of Norâ€" thern Ontario. Some days ago a communication from Mr. J. Nil. Tremblay, of Fauâ€" quier, was received by the Cochrane Board of Trade. The communication referred to a letter sent to the press by Mr. Tremblay in regard to the disâ€" posal of the timber limits in the Cochâ€" rane district offered for sale by tend er by the Ontario Government. Mr. Ttemblay‘s contention is that the limâ€" its in question are so extended that they should not be sold to one comâ€" pany, but that arrangements be made so that the sale of the limits will reâ€" sult in two pulp mills being started in the North instead of one. There is proverbial praise for the man who can make two blades of ‘grass grow where only one grew before. How much greater praise would be due the (Government that could cause two pulp mills tq grow up in place of one! However, though the Government will undoubtedly give. the most seriâ€" ous _ ‘consideration, it is > "not as easy to adjust such matters as it Resolutions Forwarded to the Government in the Matter, and the Question Also Placed Before Cochrane Board of Trade.

The gold miners put up a good tussle, although their celub is comparatively new and many of the players have not had more than one year at the game.
