Speaking of Kirkland Lake, The Adâ€" ivance ten years ago published an inâ€" ‘terview with Mr. M. Boivin who had just returned from a visit to Kirkland Lake. Here is part of what Mr. Boiâ€" vin said about Kirkland Lake ten years ago. It looks well in view of the deâ€" velopments in the Kirkland Lake area in the meantime:â€""Kirkland Lake is a big and thriving camp, and its growth and enterprise are certainly remarkâ€" able. I expected to see a few houses and a shaft or two, but what I actualâ€" ly saw was a bustling modern camp and a stretch of about two miles of shafts and other mining works. The people of the North Land should be proud to know that they have a new camp like Kirkland Lake It certainâ€" ly looks like a comer." "Now, men, as an old man who has been knocking round the world for a good many years, I make an appeal to you now that you are out of the Army to make a resolution that you are going to live for this Canada of yours and make it a happier land and reap the full reward of that for which you fought. Only a week ago when I was speaking at Timmins, I was handâ€" ed a leaflet upon which was written an appeal to the soldiers now that they have won the war to unite for the purpose of creating a revolution. I ask you to beware of the dirty hounds who put forth such arguments. I have been in Petrograd; I have seen the Soviet; I have seen that dog, Trotsky. And my advice to you is to keep clear of the blighters." In this column last week extended reâ€" ference was made to the address givâ€" en at Timmins by Councillor Peter Wright of the British Sailors‘ Union, in which, he scored the Bolshevik. In the 1ssue of April 9th, 1919, The Adâ€" vance makes reference to another adâ€" dress by Peter Wright, speaking to an audience of 1500 soldiers at a dinner given in Toronto by Mr. Edmund Brisâ€" tol, M.P. Among other things Counâ€" cillor Wright was reported as saying: In an interview ten years Afgo, Chairman J. L. Englehart, of the T. N. O., said that the actual extensions of the railroad decided upon for 1919 were a sevenâ€"mile spur from Swastika to Kirkland Lake, and an extension from Timmins to the Mattagami river. He indicated that much preliminary work was also to be undertaken in preâ€" paration for the Hudson Bay extenâ€" sion. It was the sad duty of The Advance ten years ago to reler to the death of Major C. H. Gordon. The Advance said »~â€"Many friends and acquaintances here will learn with very deep regret of the death of Major C. H. Gordon, i h. / .. .‘ .cs t :/ Ten Years Ago IN From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO | ing well and feeling as good as he looks \ he says. He was in Torontp some | weeks undergoing medical treatment ‘for his injured back, and seems now ‘to have found the road to a sure cure. |He was treated by specialists at the z Toronto General hospital and is to reâ€" |\ turn in the course of a month or so for final treatment." Jack was injured t‘at a hockey match in which he was l playing for New Liskeard and the feelâ€" ing of New Liskeard in the matter was partially suggested by the other 'nem referred to. This other item was ‘headed:â€""A Pleasant Surprise for a Crood Fellow," and read as follows:â€"â€" i "Last week Jack MacLean, who had who was second in command of the Forestry Battalion recruited here in 1917, and who visited here and adâ€" dressed meetings in the camp during the recruiting of that battalion. He died at Regina, Sask., after a week‘s illness from pneumonia, following an attack of influenza during a visit to Haileybury recently. He was a broâ€" ther of Mr. W. A. Gordon, barrister, of Haileybury, and Lieut. Gordon, who had charge of the recruiting for the Forestry Battalion. The late Major Gordon served in France with the Fifth Battalion and was seriously wounded in September, 1916, at the battle of the Somme. He was invalided home to Canada, but went back overseas with the Forestry Battalion, In Januâ€" ary of this year he again returned to Canada, following the sad news of the death of his wife." Reginald Osman Hawkins, a miner who came to, Timmins from South Africa early in 1919, died on April 6th, 1919, from n»neumonia, following an attack of influenza. He was only ill one week. A widow and two small children were left to mourn the unâ€" timely loss. The late Reginald Hawâ€" kins was born in England in 1884, and Ten years ago, two brothers were arrested "up the river" on charges of being defaulters under the Military Service Act, and also failing to register as required by the warâ€"time law. The evidence showed that the two young men had been staying in the bush to avoid military service. They had. a system of signals to warn them of the approach of officers. On one occasion officers going to arrest them had been triven away by shotâ€"gun fire. The defence was to the effect that they had not known of the law‘s requireâ€" ments, but at the same time they adâ€" mitted that they had remained in the bush in hiding because they were afraid of punishment. The young men were reminded that not only had they avoided the requirements of the law, but their attempt to defy the authoriâ€" ties was even more objectionable at the time. They were each sentenced to three years in Kingston venitentiary had followed the mining business for many years. At the regular meeting of the town council ten years ago, Dr. H. H. Moore, Medical Health Officer, recommended the extension of the waterworks and the installation of a sewerage system as a measure of protection to health and sanitation. He also urged a mechaniâ€" cal method of chlorination of the town. water as superior to the plan in use. The recommendations of the M.H.O. were turned over to the Contingencies committee. Several accounts for the burial of victims of the influenza were ordered paid and others were held over for enquiry, as some of them were for people formerly resident out of town and for which other municip@lities might be liable. Mayor McInnis reâ€" ferred to the good citizenship shown in the matter by the undertaker J. T. Easton. The latter felt that for the public health and safety, the bodies should be buried as quickly as possible; after attending to this duty, he had made every possible effort to collect from the relatives and friends of the deceased. A byâ€"law to authorize the mailing of tax notices was given its requisite readings and finally passed. Aiter a general discussion the counch decided to proceed with the preparaâ€" tions for the: waterworks extensions, and also to at once secure the advice of the Provincial Board of Health reâ€" garding the need for sewers. The mayâ€" _or and several of the councillors beâ€" lieved the sewerage system very necesâ€" sary for the public health and safety. Frank McCurry, a man of about sixty years of age, who had been livâ€" ing in a cabin on the other side of Pearl Lake, was found dead in this little house one day ten years ago. The body was frozen when found. The door was locked on the inside and had to be forced to gain entrance when the man was missed and acquaintances became anxious about him. The unâ€" fortunate man apparently had fallen on his head, perhaps in a fainting spell. His neck was broken. The coroner, after viewing the body and investigating the circumstances, conâ€" sidered an inquest unnecessary. The late Frank McCurry had been living in the shack all winter. He had no relatives in the district and practically nothing was known about him here. Announcement was made in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago that J. K. Moore had purchased the building at 36 Third avenue, opposite Dalton‘s and was opening an ice cream parlour and conâ€" fectionery shop. A bakeshop was being built on the rear of the building. There were two items in The Advance ten years ago about Jack MacLean, then, as now, one of the very popular residents of the district. The one item said:â€"*"Mr. J. D. MacLean returnet on Thursday last from the south, lookâ€" ! been south taking medical treatment, was at his home in New Liskeard. He noticed posters for a hockey game,â€" ‘ "for a good cause," the bills said, though the cause was not stated. "I guess it must be for the hospital." Jack said, and so like the good fellow t he always is, he went to the game and ;took two girls along. This week he |received a letter from the secretaryâ€" treasurer of the New Liskeard fire !department enclosing cheque for $60.50, being the proceeds of that hocâ€" key match, This amount had been turned over to the department by those in charge to be forwarded to Jack Macâ€" Lean as a slight token of the estecem in which he is held as a former memâ€" ber of the New Liskeard hockey team, the amount being forwarded with ali good wishes." A front page article in The Advance ten years ago showed that Timmins was the centre of a fortyâ€"mile area of gold. The article pointed out that there was activity in the vicinity of Gold Island, Night Hawk Lake section east of Timmins. A deal was cn for the purchase of the Jamieson claims in Robb township, west of Timmins. Across this stretch of forty miles, it was explained there were about 20 mines at work, to say nothing about the score or more of good prospects. Another article in the same issue reâ€" ferred to the special activity expected in the coming summer in Deloro townâ€" ship, the Ankerite, Porphyry Hill, Litâ€" tle Pet, Preston claims and others, to be .worked on extended scale, it was hoped. Reference was made ten years ago to the plans under way by Labour men of the North Land to establish a newspaper to specially present Labour news and views. In the committee dealing with the matter were:â€"N. Mcâ€" Kinnon, Timmins, John Vanier, Iroâ€" quois Falls; E. Sheppard, North Bay; J. McGuire, Tobalt; H. Kineburg, Kirkland Lake, and others. There was consideration of the idea of purchasing the plant of The North Bay Advocate. ‘"The North Land lost a wellâ€"known, popular and gifted citizen last week," said The Advance ten years ago in reâ€" ferring to the death of Mr. Geo. Ross, formerly town solicitor of Cobalt. "He was one of the authorities on municiâ€" pal law in the province and otherw4se a man of unusual gifts. In addition he was always a genial gentleman, widely known and much esteemed throughout the Land. In his earlier days he was in the newspaper business and also served for a time as a school teacher. Then he went into the practice of law, being in partnerâ€" ship for a time with the famous counâ€" sel, E. F. B. Johnston, Toronto. One of the most famous of Mr. Ross‘ cases was his defence of the Hyams twins accused of the murder of their brother for insurance money. Although there was much evidence against them they were acquitted largely through the good work of the late Mr. Ross. Mr. Ross came to Coâ€" balt in the early days and was for many years town solicitor there. He was 56 years of age and unmarried. He died in the hospital after an illness of only 24 hours."

McInnis was busy cleaning up affairs in the township of Tisdale. Each week he had a large list of court cases and made it very "plain that everything must be conducted on a decent and lawâ€"abiding plan in Tisdale township. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were th2 following:â€""A number of friends spent a very enjoyable social evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. Laâ€" prairie on Thursday night last, the occasion being in honour of Mr. Henâ€" ry Mueller, recently returned from overseas. He enlisted with the 228th and spent about two years overseas." "‘The Timmins Firemen‘s Club last week received a cheque for $100.00 from Mr. J. P. McLaughlin to be used for the purposes of the club, and they express very sincere appreciation of the generous gift." ‘"Mr. and Mrs. Jack West have returned to the camp." "Mrs. A. G.

During his residence in camp Mr. Leonard has won innumerable friends by his invariable courtesy, his straightness and competence in busiâ€" ness, with his general high character, and he will be much missed here in many circles."

The inâ€" pector refused to resign unless some valid reason was given why he should do so, and as the council could suggest no other reason than the idea of econâ€" omy, Mr. O. Hara refused to resign. As a consequence the Teck council held another meeting at which the Sanitary Inspector was dismissed, his duties being added to those already performed by Gordon Browne, the township foreman.
