Mulbheron at the Goldfields Hotel. He came to Timâ€" mins with the Government party inâ€" specting the North Land with a view to alloting land for settlement for returned soldiers. _ Although the town had only a couple of hours‘ notice of his expected arrival, two or three hundred people were gathâ€" ered at the station to great the oldâ€" timer at twelve midnight when he arrived here. The Italian band was out with good music, from ‘‘Home Sweet Home,‘‘ to ‘‘The Maple Leaf, Forever.‘‘ Mayor J. P. McLhaughâ€" lin, Dr. J. A.

In describing the reception The Adâ€"< vance said:â€"‘‘No other name is more closely linked with the great North in its early days them that of Jack Munroe, farâ€"famed as a boxer and athlete, admired as a pioneer and prospector, known as a fMrstâ€" class citizen, and esteemed as an allâ€" round good fellow. He is a returnâ€" ed soldier and one of the few surâ€" viving brothers of that gallant comâ€" pany, the Princess Pats, whose name and fame will be as imperishable in history as the undying Light Briâ€" gade.‘‘ The party with Jack Munâ€" roe included another returned hero from the frontâ€"Capt. Tom Magladâ€" ery, M.P.P. Jack Munroe spent several days on town, < and was warmly welcomed,. The Advance interviewed him and published three or four columns of interesting matter about his adventurous life. Jack Munroe played tackle on the great Butte football team that cleaned up everything from Chicago to the Paâ€" cific coast years ago. Mareus Daly had gathered that team together, reâ€" gardless of expense, from the stars of the big Eastern and Middle West colleges. . Munroe played on the Olympic A.(. team of San Francisco, coast champion, when he began boxâ€" ing as an amateur, and won the Paâ€" cific Coast heavyweight championâ€" ship in his first tournament. Then he fought Jim Jeffries for $500.00 for standing four rounds with that champion. _ Munroe was a â€" level boss at the Anaconda mine at that time, but then went into the pugilisâ€" tic game as a business. He fought Maher, Sharkey, Jack Johnson and other noted bruisers. Coming to the North Land with a partner on aA prospecting trip, Munroe settled here and made name and position for himself. He never used s great strength or fighting qualities in any ‘but the finest way, and there was never a less quarrelsome man in this country. When the war broke out he dropped everything and hurâ€" ried to Montreal to enlist with the Princess Pats. He was the first of the Canadian soldiers to set foot on French soil. After seven months‘ strenuous service he was wounded in the breast, the injury causing a paralysis of one arm for a time, Speaking to The Advance about the gcrowth of the North, he said :â€"â€" ‘‘Yes, I am delighted to get back to the North. I mote many ~changes, however. Timmins has grown wondâ€" erfully since I saw it last. It has grown 90 per cent. The last time I was here there was no Mattagami Heights townsite, and ‘the whole town was hardly bigger than that new addition ‘to your big hustling town.‘‘ W. B. ROADHOUSE Deputy Minister 71 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. Ten years ago Mr. E. G. Poole, supervisor of forest protection, and Mr. Fred Hamilton, chief fire rangâ€" er for this section of ‘the district, visited Timmins to consider and plan ways and means for the greater safeâ€" ty of Timmins from the forest fire menace. â€" They conferred with the mayor, clerk, fire chief and other local authorities, and The Advance said they seemed to have no other thought than the doing of the most and the best possible for the safety of life and property of the commuâ€" nity. Arrangements were made for the furnishing by ‘the town of branch water lines to outlying secâ€" tions during the summer time. The supervisor ordered 2000 ft. of hose and a truck for conveying same, Consideration was also given to the resolution passed by the town counâ€" cil a short time before regarding the clearing up of all land surronnding the town. "We must be prepared to eq)o(t at least three yvears more of war,‘ CHEMIST Office: Room 2, Post Office Block, Timmins Samples may be left at Gordon‘s Drug Store, ‘Timmins, Marshallâ€" Ecclestone Hardware, Schumacher Samples by mail promptly attended to.

Lueas as saying that Sir Robert ‘Borden would shortly infroduce a eonseription bill that would be fair and equitable to all and that would actually prove popular with most good citizens. â€"In its issue of ten years ago, The Advance had an “open letter to the President of the United States."‘ The letter was a protest against the way the United States crowded out all other nations from the **World News‘‘ and the *‘‘War Neaws‘‘ of the Amercianâ€"made films. **Would you please impress on your filmâ€" makers, ‘‘The Advance said, *‘ the United States is not even the biggest part of the world? There are other very large and important and interesting countriesâ€"like Briâ€" tain, and France, and Russia, and Italy and Gorious Belgium, and Caâ€" nada. Without meaning to be rude, we would point oup that each of these other nations has been cutting a much greater figure in the world than the United States in the last two yvears. How would it be to picâ€" ture a few of the Canadian troops, or the Australian, or even the Britâ€" ish or the French, real soldiers testâ€" ed, tried and true, rather than the perpetual round of your reel solâ€" iers ? We have seen a lot about your land, your ships, your flag and your soldiers,â€"now show . yourselves (and incidentally show us) a little of our glories, and our heroes. _ It would be a change. A change is as good as a rest, they say, and we cerâ€" tainly need the rest. Good Night!‘ The President never answered that letter, but things gradually improvâ€" ed in the motion picture line, and toâ€" day the United States films are much less vainâ€"glorious ‘than they _ were ten years ago. Among the local, personal and disâ€" trict notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"*‘*A conferâ€" ence of the bighop, clergy and lay workers of the Diocese of Moosonee was held in Cochrane on May 16th. This was the first conference since 1872, when the Diocese of Moosonce was detached and defined from the Diocese of Rupert‘s Land. Among the important matters dealt with by the recent conference in Cochrane, it was decided to make vigorous repreâ€" sentations to the Northern Ontario Relief Commission with regard to the claims for relief of the different Anglican parishes in the burned area. Archdeacon â€" Woodall _ and Messrs Dempsay, Hough, Ebbitt, Hodgson and Poole were appointed as a deputation to meet ithe Relief Commission in the _ matteir.‘‘ "‘While canoeing on the Abitibi River about 25 miles north of Matheâ€" son, Mr. Andrew Dickson, of Westâ€" meath, and Mr. Irwin Fay were upset, The latter managed to reach shore through the iey water, but Mr. Dickâ€" son was seized with ecramps and was drowned.‘‘ ‘‘Mr. Jas. Ferguson, of New Liskeard, dropped dead one day last week while chopping wood for as a I Commission in * While canoeing River about 25 m road near Uno Park last week.

"last week Provincial Officer Ackroyd confiscated over $500.00 worth of liquor. _ Some of it was coming in concealed and some addressed to names that had no men attached to them.‘‘ ‘‘Mr. F. C. H. Simms, who has been on the sick list for the past week or two, is now back again at his place in E. (G. Dickson‘s Timmins office.‘‘ ‘*For the cause of greater production Whitney townshp is alâ€" lowing the use of land owned by the municipality. _ This land includes certain unused. allowances.‘"‘ ‘*‘Throughout the town in general, and particularly in Moneta and Matâ€" tagami sections, the putting in of garâ€" dens is the order of the day.‘‘ "¢J. Capt. Tom Magladery. He had been five years in the \oxth coming from Hastings â€" county."‘ ‘"Two. large moose wandered unharmed on the road near Uno Park last week.

Hill, wellâ€"known and popular in the Porcupine, has left the service of Kiely, Smith Amos, since they have closed their Northern offices. He has opened an office in the Standard Stock Exchange building wunder the firm name of J. D. Hill Co." * Jonathan Harwood, the twoâ€"yearâ€"old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Harwood, Sixth avenue, died on Sunday, May 27th, after an illness of three days. The little lad managed to secure a teapot left with some lye in it for cleaning purposes. He got some of the lye in his mouth and stomach, and despite all that medical skill could do. the youngster passed away. The funeral took plaee at North Bay, where the child had been born.‘‘ ‘*Since the reference in The Advance some weeks ago to the activity at the old MeceLean claims in Turnbull townâ€" ship, a number of prospectors from the district have gone to the Turnbull area to look up their claims there and pick up new ones if the signs look good."‘ At the annual meeting last week, R.
