O. H. A. played in Timmins on | Saturday evening, Jan. 17th, 1919. This !was the first game played in this part $of the North under the auspices of the lN.O.H.A. which had been organized : only a few months before. In reportâ€" 'ing the game at the time, The Advance !said there were 200 over from the Falls ‘for the occasion and over 800 present all told for the game. The Iroquois ‘Falls band came over with the fans, | and there was a lot of goodâ€"humoured | rocting for the Falls team by the fans \from the Paper Town who filled one side of the rink and who were equipped ! with noisy horns and lusty voices. The | first period ended 2 to 1 in favour of ‘the Papermakers, and many who did iu;t know the Timmins team, including the Falls fans, thought that things llooked good for an easy win for the \Falls Through the second and last period however, there was never a doukt as to the final outcome of the game, as the Porcupine team completely !cutplayed the visitors at every stage of these periods. The Iroquois Falls team | was much heavier than the local one. ‘For the Falls Bill Brydge and Masterâ€" ‘sen were undoubtedly the best and played a strong defensive game. Every man on the Porcupine team held down his position in creditable way although this was the first time that the team had ever played together. The Porcuâ€" pine team ~was:â€"Liberty, goal; Mcâ€" Ten Years Ago PHONE 1123 Residence PHONE 1836 New Liskeard, Ont. Lake, Ont. From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles. said in part;â€""An oldâ€"timer of the Porcupine once gave the secret of sucâ€" cess in this North Country as "Talk Loud and Walk Fast." Money talks! If your subscription to The Advance is expired, as many are at this particular was also desired to have the Division Court Clerk‘s office here. The election of officers for the 1920 board of trade was made at the banquet meeting as follows:â€"president R. J.â€" Jemmett; hconorary president, J. W. Fogg; viceâ€" president, H. C. McDonald; secretaryâ€" treasurer, D. W. O‘Sullivan; council of the board of trade, J. E. Sullivan, J. P. Taillon, J. W. Reed, T. F. King, Mayor McInnis, A. F. Brigham, D. Ostrosser. The elections were all by acclamation. Short addresses were made by all the _officers elected. H. C. McDonald, manaâ€" zer of the Imperial bank here, referred to hisâ€"connection for two years with the board as secretary, and suggested that the trouble inâ€"connection with the board‘s work was the lack of general interest by the business men as a whole and the failure to attend the ordinary meetings. «While that was true ten years ago, unfortunatey it is still more true toâ€"day. The new secretary, D. W. O‘Sullivan confessed that though he had paid his membership for two years this was the first meeting he had ever attended. M. Boivin was elected the representative for the Timmins board of trade at the Boostâ€"theâ€"North conâ€" vention to be held in North Bay the week of Jan. 21st, 1920. Dr. McInnis was also a delegate to this meeting as mayor of Timmins. J. P. Bartleman referred to the growth of the town from the time he had first known it when. there were only a couple of buildings here and a trail through the bush toj the river. Dr. McInnis suggested the electrification of the T. N. O., an asâ€" say office for the district, and the stationing here of a Government minâ€" ing engineer as advantages to be strongly solicited from the Government. A. F. Brigham, in responding to the tcast to the mines, said that the mines had put Timmins on the map and it was now up to the people to keep the town on the map. Other speakers at the banquet incuded:â€"R. J. Jemmett, L. S. Newton, D. Ostrosser, T. F. King, D. Laprairie, P. Dougall, F. Lamb, Rev. J. D. Parks, Rev. R. S. Cushing and c‘hers. During the evening there were muchâ€"appreciated solos given by Messrs W. R. Dodge, J. K. Moore and Jas. Geils. _A monologue by R. F. Argles made a big hit, as did also his imâ€" promptu speech on hypotism and his funny little song about the lock of hair that wound up in the soup. The gathering broke up in the early mornâ€" ing with the singing of ‘Auld Lang Syne" and "God Save the King." Ten years ago The Advance in writâ€" ing an advertisement in regard to job printing, advertising or subscriptions, followed the plan that as advertising was simply talking to hundreds or thcusands of people at the one time, it was a good idea to write along the same lines as would be used in speakâ€" ing personally to one or two. Accordâ€" ingly in an advertisement calling atâ€" tenticn to expiring subscriptions, The Advance in a display advertisement , The annual banquet of the Timmins | Board of Trade was held on Monday evening, Jan. 19th 1920, at the Hotel Goldfields, and was well attended, there being sixty or seventy guests present for the occasion. For the excellent menu and service much credit was given to Mr. and Mrs. Ray and their comp:sâ€" tent staff. To show that the m. u was right up to date The Advance publh. 4e it in full as follows:â€"Mock Turu.> soup, celery en branches, Queen olives, baked halibut, sauce Maitre d‘Hotel Waldorf, young turkey, stuffed, with »ranberry sauce, leg of lamkb and mint cauce, pineapple sherbet, mashed creamed pctatoes, French peas, apple pie and Canadian cheese, English plum pudding, hard sauce, strawberry jelly, Christmas cake, fruits, assorted nuts, raisins, tea, coffee, etc. It was one time when everything that was on the menu was actually given the guests. J. W. Reed, president of the board of trade for 1919, presided for the event. The eport of the secretaryâ€"treasurer, H. C. McDonald, manager of the Imperial bank, showed that there were 57 memâ€" bers in the board of trade in 1919 and that there was a balance of $316.02 on hand. In a summary of the work of the board the president referred to the lgccd efforts of the organization in seâ€" curing the establishment at Timmins of a Government employment office, the appropriation made by the Ontario Government for a wagon road from Porcupine to Porquis Junction, and other matters dealt with by the board of trade. Mr. Reed explained that deleâ€" gates had been sent to Ottawa regardâ€" ing a customs office at Timmins. Also that efforts had been made to have a Division Court office here. The Diviâ€" sicn Court session were held here but it Guire and Loughrin, defence; Parker, centre; Brennan and Campbell, wings; J. H. Simms, R. Hoggarth, W. McIntyre, McDougall, spares. The team for the Falls was:â€"Corbould, goal; Masterson and Brydges, defence; McConomy, cenâ€" tre; Wilson and Hayward, wings; Fluker and Bousquet, spares. W. Mcâ€" I\Leill was the referee and held the game well in hand. He did not spare the penalties when he felt they were deâ€" served and this fact brought him conâ€" siderable criticism. The Advance, howâ€" ever upheld McNeill‘s refereeing, pointâ€" ing out that he did his work well, knew the game and was eminently fair to all.

"Mr. Tanner, of Tanner and Gates, the Toronto brokerage firm holding large interests in the Gold Centre Mine, was in the camp last week with three or four others interested in this property. They were well pleased with what they saw on their inspection, and Mr. Turâ€" ner intimated that diamond drilling would be commenced on the property by the last of February or the beginnâ€" ing of March." "It is likely that the Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘"Mrs. V. H. Emery is exâ€" pected home again this week from a visit to Haileybury." "The Hollinger directors visited the camp last week and spent some days at the big mine here." "New Liskeard defeated Hailâ€" eybury in the central group series of the N. O. H.

"Literature issued by Toronto brokers suggests that the contract is soon to be Ten years ago The Advance had the following paragraph:â€""A _ foreigner bearing the musical name of Lalaiki (sing it yourself!) was before Magisâ€" trate Atkinson last week on a charge of being concerned in the recent stabâ€" bing at Schumacher of another Rusâ€" sian, or Serbian, cor something, the stabbed gentleman being badly injured around the head and ears and hair. The wounded man spent seme time in the hospital as a result of the injuries sustained and when he appeared in court he looked like the victim of a Bolsheviki prayer meeting. Lalaiki had no lawyer in court but the injured gen* tleman did, so Magistrate Atkinson took a hand in British fair play in bringing out: the facts. While condemning strongly the use of a knife tunder any circumstances, the magistrate found that the crime was not so bad as it looked at first glimpse, for there apâ€" peared to be some provocation. Howâ€" ever, to keep the use of knives by forâ€" eigners and others unpopular in this North, Lalaiki was sentenced to six months in jail." "Last week," said The Advance ten years ago, "the Timmins fire departâ€" ment sent the following letter to D. Louki, assistant town foreman, who was bereaved by the death of his wife on Tuesday evening, Jan. 15th, 1920:â€" Dear Friendâ€"The members of the Timâ€" mins fire department wish to express their very deep and sincere sympathy with you in the loss this week of your dear wife. They mourn with you for the death of Mrs. Louki, and would like you to know that in your sorrow you may have this comfort,â€"that the sympathy of all the men in this deâ€" partment goes out to you in your beâ€" reavement. Signgned on behalf of the Timmins Fire Dept., A. Borland, fire chief; J. Morrison, secretary." The Advance ten years ago had the following:â€"*‘‘Many who would otherâ€" wise have been unaware of the signifiâ€" cance cof the term learned through the medium of a picture shown at the New Empire theatre some months ago that "a still alarm" is the name given in fire brigade circles to a call that is not issued by the ringing of the bell or the blowing of the siren, or the general alarm system, but is sent in by telephone, special message or other similar means. If a half a dozen men ran down street yelling "fire" and landed at the fire station, giving the message by wofd of mouth, without turning in an alarm, that would still be termed a "still alarm," though it might be noisy enough. On Monday evening just shortly after six o‘clock lthe Timmins Fire Brigade had a "still arlarm." The call was sent in from Meyer‘s drug store by telephone, but though the firemen made a very speedy response, as always, the little blaze was under control before they arrived. |Indeed, the summoning of the brigadel was in the nature of a thoughtful, preâ€" sautionary measure more than anyâ€" thing else, for the fire was discovered in ‘ime and amply dealt with by Mr. Edâ€" wards, of the Meyers drug store, and others, who, however, took no unnecesâ€" sary chances. The blaze originated from some ashes left in the hallway between the photographic studio and the apartments. Fire from some live coals among the ashes set fire to the basket in which the ashes were left, ‘ and this in turn set fire to the partiâ€" tion. There was a lively blaze in proâ€" gress when it was discovered. Prompt attention and liberal use of water soon zot the fire under 66ntrol. but not beâ€" fore a little damage was done, some lamage also being occasioned by water unning through the ceiling into the store. The prompt hndling of the fire avoided the danger of a seriqus blaze." The paragraph is of more than passing interest because of the fire several years after that destroyed the whole Meyers building. It had a less threatenâ€" ing start than the fire of 1920, but the building proved an easy prey to the flames, showing the danger ever present | in this class of structure. moment, just walk fast by cheque, twoâ€" dollar bill, by mail or by messenger, or in person, and make your money talk to some purpose.

Every once in a while it is interesting to note the advertising carried by The Advance in the fyles of ten years ago, as consulted for the copy for this colâ€" umn. The January issues of The Adâ€" vance ten years ago had a large numâ€" ber of different advertisements, and from these advertisements it is not difficult to figure out the live business and professional men of Timmins ten years ago. The Hollinger Stores carâ€" ried a fullâ€"page advertisement anâ€" ncuncing reduced prices on standard socds to reduce the stocks before stockâ€" taking. There were bargains in everyâ€" thing from canned goods to fur coats and from soup to nuts. The Timmins Skating Rink, the Curtis Drug Co., the New Empire theatre, the George Tayâ€" lor Hardware, the Northern Canada Supply Co, and Sky Bros. (South Porâ€" cupine,) each had quarterâ€"page adverâ€" tisements. Other advertisers included: L. Halperin, Imperial Bank, Wrigiey‘s Chewing Gum, Bachelor Cigars, Haiâ€" leybury Business College, R. F. Argles, Huntingdon, Quetbec, Gleanerâ€" A lady by the name of Mrs. Philip H. McGuire was arrested in Richmond, Virginia, on a charge of drunkeness. Mrs. McGuire objected to the insult and fought the case in court and with considerable success. The State auâ€" thoritiese had prepared a good line of evidence and wanted t> submit Mrs. McGuire to the usual tosts of sobriecty. She ccuntered this by going in the box and swearing that she used the whisky as a mouth wash and that a must have trickled down her throat. The Court drscided the> argument was at least new and gave her liberty. annual Porcupine Dog RaRce will be held on February 28th this year. The rules for the event as well as the course, otc., will be the same as in past years. Entries are to be made to G. A. Macâ€" donald, editor of The Advance, not later than the day before the race. Full particulars may be secured from the secretary or from any of the members of the committee." Mr. Harry Darling and Mr. E. H. Poirier are in the camp this week, as is also Mr. Stewart, mine manager of the Crown Reserve. In conâ€" sultation with their engineers, Mr. Darâ€" ling is making an examination of the Mcneta property, and Mr. Poirier is examining the Crown Mine, in conâ€" nection with the recent proposal for a union of these two properties." Under the scheme, in New Brunswick the Province, as stated, provides land and buildings, the Dominion Governâ€" ment furnishes the settlers, and the Overseas Settlement Board, representâ€" ing the British Government, contriâ€" butes $1,500 per settler to the purchase of the stock and equipment, and, in adâ€" diticn, guarantees to share with the Dominion authorities, on a 50â€"50 basis, any losses in stock which the farmer may suffer. Surveys of the properties on which the settlers will be located have, The Globe learns, been carefully carried out during the past year. Care will be takâ€" en to ensure that all will have the adâ€" vantages of schools and decent road communication. Some 200 untenanted and partly developed homesteads, to which the Province, over a number of years, se®ured claims, when their orâ€" iginal owners, for various reasons, gave up agriculture and sought employment in other lines, will form part of the acâ€" commodation that Ontario will, it is said, be expected to provide under the agreement. In most cases under the ngs on these properties are still in good repair. Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agriculture, and Hon. William Finlayâ€" son, Minister in charge of Northern velopment, have been closely in tcuch with the situation for some time. And one of the missions in Toronto at th» present time of William C. Noxon Agentâ€"General for Ontario in Engiand, is the putting of the finishing touches on the undertaking. . This tripartite arrangement was, it is understood, ready last spring, but the defeat of the Baldwin Government made it necessary for the Ontario and Ottiawa authorities to conduct an enâ€" tirely new set of negotiations with the â€" MacDonald Ministry. An agreement is now reported to have been reached all round, and will likely be placed in operation about the middls of next summer. Early announcement of an agreement between the Ontario and Dominion Governments and the Overseas Settleâ€" ment Board whereby from 200 to 1009 British farmers are to be brought out to this Province and located on suitable properties in the North is expected from Queen‘s Park, says The Toronto Globe, last week.
