He was the guest of Timmins Oddfellows on Sunday afternoon, March 24th, 1918, a very pleasant and profitable time being spent at the lodge room« here. The previous evening the @rand Master was at Porecupine lodge South Porcupihe, where members of the order from all over the district gathered to meet the Grand Master. Between 60 and 70 Oddfellows were presgnt, about thirty from Timmin: going to South End for the occeasion. he:work of the‘ Order was taken up, and the Grand Mastéer complimented NEW â€" STOPLIGHT nto. ~ Mr; A.

On the other hand, there were some who argued that the fund should be left for fire relief purpose, as there were other forest fires possible. The Advance was not hopeful that the money would be secured, and this view proved wel founded. i + ~Reference was made ten fiags ago ito the fact â€"that Premier uir Company had built buildings and was installing machinery for the treatâ€" ment of the barytes ore at the properâ€" ty in the Night Hawk) Lake district. Barytes, The Advance explained, is a mineral used extensively in the paint and chemical industries. The ore at the Premier Langmuir was referred to as singularly pure and white, with enough silver in the deposits to defray operating costs. The Advance thought the barytes mine might develop into an important industry, but war conâ€" ditions prevented this at the time. Strong protest was, made by The Advance ten years ago against the discourtesy and officiousness of a police chief from another town in the North Land who happened to tbe in town at the same time as a number of Dominâ€" ion police who were enforcing tlm Military Service Act. This chief took it uwpon himself to assist the visiting police, but he did. not.: show the same courtesy and common sense in stoppinge people to enquire about their military standing. â€", At the regular meeting of the Tisâ€" dale township council on March 22nd, 1918, with Acting Reeve Morgan in the chair, and Councillors Mackie, Walton and Hutchison present, Roâ€" bert Quinn was appointed assistant constable, sanitary inspector and fire chief at Schumacher. the members on their proficiency. After the regular session, a pleasant banquet was enjoyéed ‘by all, the guest of thé,evéni:g being especially feliciâ€" tious in his address. Efforts were made ten years ago, at the time of the visit of Consovitch, the ‘‘Orator,‘‘ to commit the Miners‘ Union ‘here to Bolshevik doctrine and action. â€" The Union was threatened with a loss of many members unless they agreed, and a material increase if they did. The Union, however, reâ€" fused to consider what they felt to be destructive and unpatriotic action, and firmly held their own against the GASOLINE® GAUGE A report published in The Advance ten years ago, and signed by K. Legâ€" gett, secretary, showed the Schumachâ€" er Red Cross to he doing very effecâ€" tive work. â€" There were eight cases of goods shipped to headquarters in the month of February, these containing 350 towels, 58 sheets, 48 suits of pyjamas and 28 comfort bags. Total value, $337.86. . Owing to the previous secretary, Mrs. Hicks, leaving town, her resignation was acceptedâ€"with reâ€" gret. â€" Mrs. Geo. E. Leggett was electâ€" ed the new secretary. § The Advance ten years ago devoted considerable space to a complaint from an oldâ€"time prospector who obâ€" jected to the fact that while the Government had granted 1,560,000 acres near Kapuskasing fo the Spruce Falls Pulp and, Paper Co. as a pulp: wood limit, the reservation was not marked on the mining maps. In this and similar cases, prospectors would spend time and money staking claims ‘only to find when it was too late that they could not develop the ties as they were pulpwood reservaâ€" tions. The handicap this sort of thing was to. the prospector was emâ€" phasized, and the Government urged to protect the prospector by showing,i all timber limits on the mining maps. As an aftermath of the riot, or nearâ€"riot, or whatever it may be callâ€" ed, that occurred in Timmins some ten years ago when bhundreds of Russiâ€" ans and other foreigners paraded the streets and besieged the jail hereâ€"to secure the release of one of their about fifty or sixty Dominâ€" ion Police were here an the day of the preliminary trial of the ‘Sorator.‘"‘ The Advance at the time, in reportâ€" ing the trial said:â€"**Dominion police seemed to spring up all over town and get busy..‘In‘the crowd ountside the eourt: and all over town everybody was detained and made to give an account of themselves.> Alien enemics had to produce their cards, and other aliens to show their standing. â€" Britâ€" ishers were required to give theoir standing under the Military Service ‘Act: * The ‘event was made a great The Advance ten years ago menâ€" tioned the numerous complaints made relative to children loitering around the front of the theatre in the evenâ€" ings.â€" The youngsters were a nuisance to the men attending the shows, the boys having the habit of‘lworrying people ‘‘to take them in to the show,‘‘ The Advance pointed ont the law in the matter, urging parents for their own sakes, for the children‘s sakes, and for the sake of the public, to do their. duty * by seeing that the youngâ€" sters were home in the evening, and that they have an attractive home to keep them from less desirable places.‘‘ Bolshevik doctrines. ‘The attitude of the Union greatly strengthened the hands of the authomtms and loyal citizens generally in dealing with the attempt made here ten years ago to introduce a destructive and menacâ€" ing programme. One of the visitors to Timmins ten years ago was Jack Whitton, an oldâ€" timer of the North. He was a wellâ€" known mininge entractor in both Coâ€" balt and Poreupine camps in the earâ€" ly days, as well as doing much prosâ€" pecting in the Porcupine, and conductâ€" ing a pool room in South Poreupine. He went overseas with the 87th Batâ€" talion, seeing much service and being wounded several times. Finally he was invalided home. _ Among the friends whom he met several times in the trenches, he specially nientionâ€" ed Major Neil MacDonald, Jack Macâ€" kay, Bill Gowans, and The Poreupine Advance. Among: the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘*Mrs. J. S. Mcâ€" Guire was called last week to the bedâ€" side of her father, Mr. iChas.
