Mb oA S ty SOME Thursday, Oct. 7th, 1926 THE CANADA STARCH CO., LIMITED, MONTREAL BC 8 Matheson Today and the Town of Twenty Years Ago Readers of The Advance will pracâ€" tlcallv all be interested in the followâ€" ing article on Matheson toâ€"day and twenty years ago. To the oldâ€"timers of this district McDougall Chutes was a centre well remembered, and later, as Matheson, the town had for many years an important place in the North. Toâ€"day, Matheson is still an important North Land town, but not a centre for so wide an agea. The growth of other and larger towns in the North has changed matters to a considerable extent. Matheson sutâ€" fered seriously in the 1916 fire, but has made a fine recovery and is now established again, and useful and imâ€" portant as a mining and agricutural centre. The New Liskeard Speaker last week published the following front page article on Matheson as it is toâ€" day and as it was twenty years ago: In 1906 the Community was known as McDougall Chutes. It was a Busy and Prosperous Town Before the Fire of 1916. The New Liskeard Speaker Writes Interestingly of the Story of Matheson. ‘"Our first visit to what is now called Matheson, but then was known as McDougall‘s Chute, was on the 16th of September, 1906. Although twenty years have rolled by since THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS, ONTARIO. then, it seems but yesterday since we arrived at the falls on the Black MRiver, and stepped into a canoe to pay a visit to Iroquois Falls We had been invited to accompany the late Hon. Frank Cochrare and flon. N. Monteith on a visit to a numhber of Northern points, and â€" amongst them, the Falls on the Abitibi. In our issue of September 21st, 1906, we said. ‘*On Saturday, at 9 a.m., with two eanoes, Hon. Mr. Cochrane, Hon. Mr. Monteith, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Howie and the writer paddled down the Black River for 14 miles, to the junetion of the Abitibi, and down tl}‘xs river six miles to the Falls, This was to be the end of the tour. Mr. Cochrane wanted to known from personal observation what the falls were like, and Mr. Monteith wanted information to help him to form an opinion as to the most deâ€" sirable place to locate the experiâ€" mental station. in earlier days we paid several visits to Matheson, and had pictured the embryo. town through The Speaker as destined to become an important agricultural centre, we had not been there since the fire, until Wednesday of last week. Naturally we were curious to know how far our predictions as to the future of Matheâ€" son had come true. Ve had seen everything in Matheson‘s favor, fer there was good soil for many miles around,and the fact that grain would grow thele Rad been demonstlated by Mr. Lloyd, and hence there was every reason for one to suppose that a flourishing town would grow there. got a good start. Soon after the T. N. 0. Railway reached Matheson, this place became headâ€" quarters for the engineering staff of the Grand Trunk Pacific, (now the National) as well as the place where supplies were kept. These supplies were sent by boat down the Black and Abitibi Rivers to the railway line. _ For several years this made Matheson a stirring â€"village, and busiâ€" ness continued to be flourishing for a considerable time. A mining recordâ€" er‘s, office was%pened here, and beâ€" tween landâ€"hunters and prospectors, Matheson was considered a thriving town. k ‘*‘Then, on the 290th July, 1916, like a ‘‘bolt from the blue,"" the great fire which swept over the large portion of Temiskaming, completely destroyed the town. We have a distinct rememâ€" ‘‘The chief public buildings are the school house and the court house. The school house has four rooms, alâ€" though only three are in use at presâ€" ent, has large basement, and is built according to plans submitted by the Department of +~Education, which means that\it is upâ€"toâ€"date in every particular. _ We were particularly pleased with the building‘s nice apâ€" pearance and the nicely kept grounds. ‘*The court house is a Govetrnment building, and built on the plan now adopted tby the Attorneyâ€"General‘s department, has offices for the Crown Land‘s Agent, the "Town Clerk, a commodious court room, and a jail leanâ€"to with five cells. < New Liskeard and Englehart are certainly behind Matheson in regard to a court; house and jail. However, we are not findâ€" ing fault. Matheson has had a hard time of it on account of the fire, and none of us begrudge the: citizens whatever relief the Ontario Governâ€" ment has given them. ‘‘Another _ nice public building is the Oddfellows‘ Hall. This bulding, although belonging to the flocal I.0O. O.F. Lodge, is used for all useful purâ€" poses. It is a sort of community hall. ‘*Acriculture, a more permanent inâ€" dustry, and not mining, is the future for Matheson, and a Crown Lands office has been substituted for a Minâ€" ing Recorder‘s office, although, as in Liskeard, many citizens are still inâ€" terested in mining. But because of low prices for farm produces, and the high cost of farm labor, farming has not paid for several years, fgnd the farming community is somewhat gloomy, we imagine, from the talk we heard in the hotel sittingâ€"rooms. â€" But other farming communities are in the same light. As we see matters, the farmers will be foreed to turn their attention to other branches such as butter and cheese, until the prices for grain are high enough, to make grainâ€" growing. profitable as it once was. Indeed,‘Temiskaming farmers are seeâ€" ing matters in this light, for there are now six ('re.unerles in Temiskaâ€" ming. y berance of some of the homeless landâ€" ing in Liskeard early on the followâ€" ing morning, and of the prompt aid our people rendered the unforturtate ones. * anes ‘"So, when.we wonder whether or not Matheson has ‘‘made good."‘ we must not overâ€"look the fac; that the first Matheson avas wiped out by fire, and that the present townâ€"we mean of course, the buildingsâ€"was erectâ€" ed prineipally by those who »have beer there from the first, and rebuilt after losing.so much by the fire. ‘‘The citizens are justly proud of their creamery which is being" manâ€" aged on the coâ€"operative plan; but we shall deal with this later. ‘*‘When we were paddling down the Black River twenty years ago, the party went ashore when approaching the Abitibi, and picked a few ripe raspberries, so, frost had. not done any material damage to crops at that dateâ€"16th of! September, 1906, and on Saturday last, twenty years later we had ripe raspberries from our garden in New Liskeard. Also, all aâ€" round town the were still green except on black muck ground. We mention these faets as reply to those whom. we heard bemoaning the short summers and long winters of Temiskaming. In reply to our quesâ€" tion, ‘"Can you tell me where there is a country which is freer from drawâ€" backs than Temiskaming is,‘"‘ we got no answer~ Last week, there were 14 degrees of frost in Western Canada, and in many parts a foot of snow.
