What did they laugh at ten years ago? Oh, just about the same as toâ€" day, or twenty years ago! Here is one *‘*‘joak,""‘ as Tommy says, from day of the event. He was surprised and pleased all right. _ The money was for the church bulding fund. First prize for guessing the nearest to the amount that would be realized went to Mr. Valiqquette whose guess was $340. .Mr. Boicey, ho guess|was »335 received second prize. Miss Boivin and Master Pelletier won the prizes for selling the most tickets. In the euchre the following were aâ€" mong the prizeâ€"winners: Mr. Lemieux, Mr. Rodeau, J. Laroche, Mrs. Magy, Miss Swan, Miss Lydia Thibeault, Miss Rouleau. Mr. Jules Peche won a prize for guessing nearâ€" est to the number of peaches in a brass jardiniere. Messrsg J. Faithful, M. Boivin and J. P. Taillon refereed the cutting of cards to decide the tie games. There was a fine musical proâ€" gramme, including solos by Mrs. J. K. Moore, Mrs. J. Everard, Mr. Louis Pare; violin solos by Mr. Ewart, and Mr. Dube; mandolin solo by Mr. Malâ€" lette; and a chorus of five male voices (Messrs J. B. Jéan Pare, J. Treâ€" boutat, P. Theriault, and L. Pare) whose singing of ‘*0O Canada,”) was one of the features of the evening. In the first league game of the seaâ€" son ten years ago, the Timmins Baseâ€" ball team met defeat at South Poreuâ€" pine. The game was played on a Sunday, and the seore was 8 to 10. which served Timmins right for playâ€" ing on @a Sunday. The lineâ€"up for Timmins was:â€"King, l.f.; Pecand, « f., Piercee, 1 b.; Smith, 2 b.; Carâ€" michael, s.s.; Brennan, 3 b.; Spence, McEllwott e.; Levine, p.; The \houth End tea 18e 1 1.f.; Wentlan«f“s.s.; Kelly, c.; Gray, p.;.. Sullivan, «2 b.; DaRosa, r.f.; Vaughan, 3 b.; Adams, 1 b.; MceDonâ€" ald, e.f.; It seemed to be a pretty good game with the two teams fairly well matched and not many errors by either side. An euchre fand box social held in the Timmins Coliseum (the name used in those High Hat days for what is now known as the Rink) on July 6th, 1916, netted the neat sum of $425.00. The event was planned as a surprise for Father Theriault who was out of town for a couple of weeks,. returning the The Avance of July 12th, 1916, had very encouraging reports from the Deloro section of the camp. Recent events in Deloro, includ’mg the openâ€" ing of the Paymaster, March and Ankerite mills show that the hopes of 1916 matemalized into the facts of 1926. Another sporting event about the same time was the field social held by the Citizens‘ Reeruiting Commitâ€" tee on the Wednesday halfâ€"holiday, the event being for the 228th Batâ€" talion prior to their departure for Carmp Borden. â€" The hig feature of the event was a baseball match, the Fat Men versus the Fair Ladies. The score was something like 17â€"3 in favour of the ladies. Mr. John Fogg twirled for the stout fellows for a couple of innings, but he was aceusâ€" ed of favouring the other side, and so was displaced by Maygr Wilson, who, however, was no more successful in â€" keeping the seore down. Miss Jamieson, who pitched for the ladies, kept the big fellows fanning the air trying to figure out her curves. The event cleared $218.19, clear of all exâ€" penses, the odd cents suggesting that there were Scotchmen in the camp ten years ago. b® _# bestes? *4 #, w 4 o) s iess *4 #. # *4 *# # *4 *# # 44 * # *4 #, # Â¥* # # #Â¥4 C #* 4# #*4 *, .*, 4 4* **s* * *# # #4 *#, *4 # 4 #4 # # #4 w # *4 *, # #* *# ht #4 * # #4 + 4# *4 # # Â¥# # *4 * L *4 *# *# #4 * # #* *# + #4 * # #* *# * ## * # *4 ®#, 4 #*4 # L #* *# #© #4 ®, #® #* 4 *4 @ # *4 #, . ® 4 ®, <4 #4 * 4 #4 * # #4 # # #4 # # *4 * 4 ## P $ °@ + este 0; ® .0 Lt .".v °C °C °C °C °s °6 ~% "% ° °e "®" v.vv.vv.vv.w.vv.vv.vv .vv.vv.vv.vv.vv.vv.vv W.W uk in Ni it in LA Con Yrara Aogo in Cinmtings .w'w.w.w.w.w.n .".".W.v'v.v 0;0 < ¢%+ * 4 #4 #. .0 A h nb ns 228248 .:9 , .9, .0, ,0, .0. .0. .0, .0. .0. .%. 0. .¢. _# o 282 sn a* s 2*, QQ.QO‘O’O’Q‘O’O’O‘O’.O’O’Q‘O‘ 00":'}020:.3 Â¥*, 0‘0_0000000’.00'00.0.0006.0’.0000’0.00000’0‘0000’00000}0'00v."”"‘.’.".’ m he famous SALAD and COOKING OIL for Mayonnaise?

With this end in view no doubt the Ontario Department of Mines is sponsoring the tests at Red Lake. The only divining rod scheme for locating minerals is not in very much favour with prospectors, but many have much faith in an electrical system that is an amplification of the divining rod theory with the use of electricity.
