The event was on Sunday evening, and the popularity of the band and the firemen was evidencâ€" ed by the fact that the New Empire theatre was filled to capacity and two or three hundred had to be turned away for lack of room. The total colâ€" lection was over $140.00. The net proâ€" ceeds for the firemen amount to about $65.00 after paying all expenses incurâ€" red. Selections by the Timmins Citiâ€" zens‘ Band delighted all. There was a comedy motion picture shown. Mr. Dodge gave a very effective presentaâ€" tion of the solo, "My Redeemer and My Lord.‘"‘ Mrs, Moore delighted all with a pleasing vocal solo. The beauty of voice and the finished musical talent of Mrs. J. A. Theriault, who sang in English, French, Italian and Spanish, brought the most enthusiastic applause from the large crowd.

SPECIALISTS IN HIGHGRADE CANADLAN MINING SECURITIES The Advance ten years ago noted the fact that part of the golf course was completed and the rest well under way, so that play would be possible at least to some extent in 1919. The Timmins Fire Dept.‘s annual ball was held in the Masonic hall on Friâ€" day evening, May 23rd, 1919, and provâ€" ed a most successful event,. About 140 couples were in attendance, and the net proceeds were around $190.00. The orâ€" chestra included:â€"Scotty Wilson then of South Porcupine; ‘Gene Colombo, of the camp at large; and "Lefty" Farr, ditto. The music was something speâ€" cial and the refreshments were extra special. It was admittedly a very pleasing and successful event. Ten years ago The Advance noted the meeting to organize lacrosse in Timmins. J..A. Theriault was elected the secretary and treasurer, the other officers to be appointed at a later meetâ€" ing. There was great errausiasm here then for lacrosse, especially among the Phone 100â€"101 Limited many oldâ€"time players then in the camp. The Advance, following its usuâ€" al custom of backing anything good that the people were interested in, gave support and any help possible in the organizing of the sport here. The following paragraph from a frontâ€"page article in The Advance ten years ago will be read with interest:â€" "The river end of the spur line from Timmins to the Mattagami promises to be a busy sawmill centre. Already, there are Chas. Pierce‘s sawmill near the landing and Wallingford and McChesâ€" ney below the landing. In addition Mr. John Power has purchased the cld Baker lot and is now erecting a sawmill on that property. Higher up, Mr. Helstrom has sold his property to Bourke, Lindsay and McCluskey, who will erect a sawmill there. Mr. F. M. Wallingford also intends to erect anâ€" other sawmill on the river. Counting M. Boivin‘s and Col. Worthington‘s up the river, and another one or two smaller ones, as well as Mr. Walker‘s there will be nine or ten sawmills on the river." In the issue of May 28th, 1918, The Advance told of a good price received for a Mattagamifarm, the figure being $3,500.00. A year previously it was purâ€" chased for $1,400.00. The property, however, was being bought by Bourke, Lindsay and McCluskey. It was known as the Helstrom farm. Ten years ago new Council of the Knights of Columbus was organized at Cochrane and about 120 candidates were initiated. These included a numâ€" ber from Timmins and other towns in the district, about forty going from here to join. The following paragraph from The Advance of ten years ago will be read with muth interest:â€"*"Dr. J. McIntosh Bell, respresenting the English interâ€" ests in the V.N.T. Mines, left the camp ‘The summer halfâ€"holiday for the stores in Timmins in 1919 started on Wednesday, June 4th. The stores in those uuys closed at 1 p.m. during June, July and August for the Wednesday halfâ€"holiday. The Advance those times advocated a longer period of halfâ€"holiâ€" days, suggesting at least the inclusion of May and September. These neing added now, The Advance urges the early closing should also include Janâ€" uary, February, March, April, Ociober, November and the first two weeks of December. Under the heading, "There must be Scotsmen in Town," The Advance ten years ago told about the collection at a band concert. One man, very prosâ€" perous looking, dropped in a dollar bill and took ninetyâ€"five cents in change from the plate. There were also five or six copper coins covered with tinfoil in the hope that they might look jike quarters. "On the other hand, howâ€" ever," said The Advance, there were a large number of dollar bills, several twoâ€"dollar bills, and one or two fiveâ€" dollar bills, the average contribution all round being about 25 cents for each one present. So the general contribuâ€" tion was generous enough to raise the agerage, and so justify the heading about Scotsmen being in town, as the Scots are really the most generous people on earth, if you could only make the rest of the people believe it." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO on Saturday after spending two weeks here, during which time he was underâ€" ground in practically every mine in the camp, as well as touring the district generally with observant and expert eyes. He was very favourably impressâ€" ed with what he saw here and believes there is a wonderful future for the Porâ€" cupine camp. He was specially interâ€" ested in the methods of work and operâ€" ation, and the comparatively low cost of mining at the Big Dome, while the other big mines of the camp also imâ€" pressed him. He looks upon the Porâ€" cupine as one of the great and promisâ€" ing mining camps." Reference was made in The Advance ten years ago to what was termed a sort of strike at Connaught. An agitaâ€" tor led the employees of the St. Maurice Lumber Co. to demand higher wages and shorter hours, without any notice to the company, and right after an inâ€" crease of 50 cents per day had been voluntarily granted. The manager of the company found the men gathered round the agitator listening to his story, instead of being at work as usuâ€" al. The men were invited to get back to work and act fairly. Some of them did so. Others collected their money and took jobs at other work at the same pay. The St. Maurice Co. securâ€" ed the necessary men to complete their staff and everything went along as usual. The Ratepayers‘ Association held a meeting on May 22nd, 1919, to discuss the assessment roll. In opening the meeting, President J. P. Bartleman made it plain that no fault was being found with the town council. The asâ€" sessor, W. S. Macpherson, had a stormy voyage, however. He made a very capâ€" able defence and explanation, however, winning over many of those present. In the matter of the exempticns on income tax on heads of families who were unable to have their families here on account of educational facilities or proper housing accommodation being lacking, there was some heated debate. Onre section made it plain to the asâ€" sessor that they could read the act as well as he could and they held that it distinctly exempted "heads of families," without reference to where the families might be, while "householders‘"‘ must be resident in the municipality to seâ€" cure the exemption. The assessor ten years ago, however, maintained his point with success, but as the other reading is now generally accepted as the correct one, his opponents can look back on the lively meeting of ten years with some satisfaction at being right, although unsuccessful in having their view accepted. They did at least amuse themselves and annoy the assessor by pointing out technicalities in the law that he had overliooked, such as the procedure for the return of the assessâ€" ment roll. At the town council meeting ten years ago, the following were appointed as the local Housing Commission, unâ€" der the provincial act to assist returned soldiers to build and own their own homes:â€"Mayor Dr. MciInnis, J. W. Reed, H. C. McDonald (manager Imâ€" perial Bank), Geo. A. Smith and H. Charlebois. It was also decided to move the town dump farther from town, combining with the Tisdale to two vote. On motion of Messrs Longmore and DeFeu a resolution of sympathy was passed to Mrs. Wilson and family, and appreciation expressed for the municipal services of the late W. H. Wilson, the town‘s first mayor. dump. Councillor DeFeu introduced a resolution to enforce the 8â€"hour day in regard to all town employees. The council had already gone on record as asking the provincial government to establish the 8â€"hour day in Ontario, said Mr. DeFeu. Councillor Newton said the town should use its employees well and pay them well, and if they did not give satisfaction replace them. The resolution was defeated on a three The Advance ten years ago reported a meeting at Haileybury where the proposal was advocated that a motor road be built from Haileybury to North Bay. "Why not a highway from Cochâ€" rane, Iroquois and Timmins to North Bay?" was the query of The Advance, At Iroquois Falls on May 24th, 1919, Timmins Football Club won the first district game of the season, 2 to 0. . Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Mrs. G. S. Lowe and Mrs. E. J. Meyers gave a bridge party and dance in the Masonic hall. About 435 couples were present and a delightful evening was spent by all." "Mr. Harry Darling, the new manager of the Porâ€" cupine Crown, is expected in the camp this week." "The T. N. O. trainmen report seeing several moose on the tracks recently, some so close that the train had to be slowed to avoid hitting them.‘"‘ ‘"Mr. J. W. Reed is planning the addition of another storey to the Reed block." "Miss May Blackwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Blackwell, of town, and Mr. D. Staaf, son ot Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Staaf, of Timmins. were united in marriage last week by Rev. R. S. Cushing. Mr. and Mrs. Staaf will take up residence in Detroit, where the young couple will be follewed by the best wishes of their many friends in town."‘ "Last Friday by a large maâ€" jority the electors of the township of Teck voted in favour of granting a light and power franchise to the Northern Ontario Light Power Co. This means that the Northern Ontario Light Power Co. will add the Kirkland Lake district to the several other North Land districts to which it sunplies light and power under a franchise,." "Mr. Frank James, formerly of the Holâ€" linger engineering staff, returned to the camp last week after his service overâ€" seas where he spent some time in France with the Railway Construction Corps." *"Mr. J. P. Heppleston, manâ€" ager of the Timmins branch of the Hamilton B. Wills business, leaves toâ€" night for Toronto to attend the meetâ€" ing of the managers of various branches of the H. B. Wills Co." "Mr. J. P. McLaughlin, of Toronto, is spendâ€" ing the week in town. All will be very pleased to learn that Mrs. McLaughlin is being much helped by the treatment taken in Toronto." "Mr. J. D. Macâ€" Lean left on Monday for Toronto to take further treatment for his injured back." "Owing to the indifference of the great majority and the active opâ€" position of some, the campaign for funds for the Dominion Y.M.C.A. work bhas been abandoned for the present, at Reports from Haileybury suggest that Robt. Cockeram, one of the weallâ€" known prospectors of the North, has recently returned from Ottawa by the airship route, flying his own plane and acting as his own pilot. It is his inâ€" tention to use this particular p ane as | a personal one for his own transportaâ€" | tion on prospecting trips. Mr. Cockerâ€" am is one of the partners in an airship concern now that is occupied chiefly in prospecting work, but having adopted the airship as a regular means of transâ€" portation he evidently came to the conâ€" clusion that he should have one of his own. He was one of the pioneers among the prospecting fraternity in usâ€" ing the airship, and so it is only fitting that he should be the first prospector to get an airship for his own personal prospecting trips. Recently, The Adâ€" ‘vance had an article asking the quesâ€" tion whether the day was very distant when the prospector would consider an airship of his own as necessary as a frying pan and bacon and beans, and the ability to run a plane as much reâ€" quired as the skill to tell fool‘s gold from the real gold. There is no quesâ€" tion as to the change in methods used \now and some years ago by prospectors. ‘It shows the adaptability and the moâ€" ‘ dern spirit of the prospector. The ltypica.l prospector seems to have his whole idea centred on the discovery of minerals in commercial quantities, and ; he does not seem to hesitate to use any lawful and honourable way to ‘ravel to and from his prospects. Robt. Cockeram made his way on many 2 long and arduous trip by trail and least." "Mr. Silas D. Winter, an oldâ€" timer of the North (as the name might suggest), returned last week after some years‘ service overseas. He was reported some time ago as among those killed in action, but fortunately this was incorrect. He is ready to dernonâ€" strate that he is very much alive, in any football match, for instance. He was for a time connected with the Royâ€" al Air Force and also has the coveted Mons Star for gallantry in action." "Mr. J. Grant, now of the Wrightâ€"Harâ€" greaves at Kirkland Lake, but formerly a wellâ€"known mine man of the early days of the Porcupine, was a visitor to town this week" "Among the many soldiers listed last week as returning to Canada was Mr. John Watt, Porâ€" cupine." "Mr. and Mrs, W. Nicholson have returned from visit to Toronto." "Among the soldiers returning last week from overseas services was Ptece. Boudin, familiarly known as "Pikey." His many old friends are pleased to see him back again in the old camp, safe and sound." Haileybury Prospector Buys Himself a Plane The council of the township of Teck recently made a grant of $100.00 toâ€" wards the cost of sending school tearns to Halleybury and North Bay to comâ€" pete in the relay race and athletic sports at these centres. canse.
