TORONTO, ONTARIO There was rare good news for pracâ€". tically everybody in town and district on the front page of The Advance of March 17th, 1920. The heading said:â€" "Porcupine Mines Give Increases to Employees Miners were hencefofth to receive $4.15 per day, loaders, $4.25, and trere were substantial increases for mill and surface men. In the article on the matter, The Advance said, in part:â€"Official _ announcement _ was made this week of a new scale of wages at the mines of the Porcupine district. In their efforts to assist in meeting the high cost of living and to deal generâ€" ously with the men the gold mining companies have made what means apâ€" proximately an increase of fifty cents per day all round in the wages. The ‘outstanding advances include raises to $4.25 for loaders and $4.75 for miners, with substantial increases for those in the mill and on surface. For some time past the Hollinger Mine has been particularly active in its efforts to aid its employees. Working along this line the discount to employees at the stores of the mines was increased from 15 to 20 per cent. Without waiting for reâ€" quests from the men, the Hollinger, McIntyre and Dome went on with the general agreement to give a straight increase in wages all round. At the same time the mine stores will continue to sell at net cost to the employees. As mines themselves have expressed it, "it is evident that the increases will Thos. W. Gibson, Deputy Minister of Mines The Advance ten years ago mentionâ€" ed the fact that a District Command of the Great War Veterans of Temisâ€" kaming had been formed at a meeting at Englehart. Delegates were present at the meeting from Cobalt, Cochrane, Englehart, Haileybubry, Iroquois Falls, Monteith, New Liskeard. Other branches of the G.W.V.A. in the disâ€" trict for one reason or another were unable to send delegates. All the branches in the district, however, were favourable to the idea of a District Command to give a more perfect orâ€" ganization and an opportunity for united action by all the veterans of the North Land. be of no benefit if this means of checkâ€" ing the high cost of living is not conâ€" tinued." Cochrane branch of the G.W.V.A. protested ten years ago against the evidence before the commission enquirâ€" ing into the Kapuskasing a@zgmp. The Ten years ago The Advance was pleasure that there were no criminal cases for the Supreme Court session at Haileybury. The list of civil cases was only a short one. The jury cases were: McDonald vs. Peever, Cline vs. Cox, Lusk â€"vs. Perrin. The nonâ€"jury cases were:â€"Bernard vs. Pierce, and Martin vs. Otisse and Matatchewan Gold Mines. PThe case o‘ Bernard vs. Pierce was transferred from trial at Toronto with the consent of both parties. There was a bold highway robberyp committed on the Schumacher road abcut ten o‘clock on the evening c‘ March 16th, 1920. Shortly after ten o‘clock the following morning three men had been captured, tried and conâ€" victed for the crime. One was given a term "of five years in the penitentiary. A sz2cond fellow drew a threeâ€"yearâ€" term, while the third man, a lad of 19 years, was given a twoâ€"year term in the reformatory. These three holdâ€"up artists held up A. Dorfman, then superâ€" intendent at the McIntyre mine, while he was on his way home from Timmins. Mr. Dorfman had drawn a goodly sum from the bank that day and it was thought that one or more of the trio knew of this. At any rate they overâ€" took him on the Schumacher road and offered him a lift along his way in the cutter in which they were driving. At the top of the Hollinger hill, however, they suddenly assaulted him, throwâ€" ing him cut of the cutter and jumping on him. They took his money while he was struggling with them, and knocking him down they drove away in their cutter. Mr. Dorfman phoned chief Wilson at Timmins and the latâ€" ter made immediate enquiries at the livery stables as it was figured that a livery rig was likely used by the trio. In a short time Chief Wilson and Offâ€" cer Geo. Laporte had checked up on all the hired rigs for the evening and had a suspect in a young man returning a cutter that had been hired from one of the local liveries. After the young felâ€" low was placed in the cells he impliâ€" cated the cther two and their arrest followed in due c:urse. The robbers had secured $100.00 of Mr. Dorfman‘s money but only about half of this was recovered. The three men pleaded guilty when they saw the complete case that had been built up against them. Reference is made elsewhere in this column this week to the increase made in wages at the mines in the Porcupine ten years ago. A similar increase was also granted the men by the mines a.t Kirkland Lake, Ten year sago The Advance was urging the need in the North for roads for the settlers. "One of the pressing needs of the North," said The Advance, "is a betterment of the few existing highways and construction of many new roads that necessity demands. It is high time that everybody got toâ€" gether and boosted for roads in Northâ€" ern Ontario. Nothing will bring deâ€" velopment quicker than a network of good roads which would pay for themâ€" se‘ves in a few years." Sometimes peoâ€" ple wonder why The Advance does not get discouraged advocating year after year such needs as roads for settlers. Looking back at what was here ten years ago in the way of roads and what is here now, however, shows such proâ€" gress as to be most encouraging. There has been much accomplished in the last few years, though still more needs to be done and it is sincerely to be hoped that it does not take ten more years before it is dons. Roads for setâ€" tlers was the big need for the North Land ten years ago, and roads for setâ€" tlers is still what is chiefly required to assist the development and progress of the country. { Ten years. ago The Advance referred to an address by Hon. Harry Mills, Farmer Government Minister of Mines, at a banquet of the Canadian Mining Institute in Toronto. The mining inâ€" dustry, he said, was only in its infancy, and he looked forward to great deâ€" velopments in the future. He menâ€" tioned four avenues along which he deâ€" sired the industry to advance:â€"more exploration of the country, greater asâ€" sistance to scientific research, more asâ€" sistance to capital, and more coâ€"operaâ€" tion between capital and labour. The Advance was inclined to be sarâ€" casititc ten years ago over the faci that the National from the south was about 1 Ccay behind schedule on a stormy Sunday in March. On another day in the same week the National was only a half a day late. The lateness of the National, of course, dislocated the T. N. O. train service more or less and caused much illâ€"temper and worse lanâ€" guage. Ten years ago it was necessary to be a fluent user of cussâ€"words or to go around with a group of repressâ€" ed desires. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Veterans at Cochrane feared that the stories told by some of the settlers apâ€" pearing before the commission would give the impréession that not only the Kapuskasing area but the whole clay belt, including the Cochrane district, was unfit for settlement. In protest against such an idea the Cochrane Veterans sent Chairman Nickle of the enquiry commission the following teleâ€" gram:â€""In view of the caluminous reâ€" ports appearing in the press throughâ€" out the country and bsyond, and the cutcome of the present investigation at Kapuskasing throwing doubt on the country here being suitable for agriâ€" cultural settlement, the Cochrane branch of the G.W.V.A. desire the priâ€" vilege of submitting evidence to refute the statements made by witnesses there by producing evidence given by reputâ€" able witnesses from among success‘ul soldierâ€"settlers." The commission was asked to drop off at Cochrane to hear and study this evidence. The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Haileybury town council will join with the town of Cochrane in urging the Ontario Government to make a survey this year of a road to connect the town of Hearst with Orient Bay, on the east shore of Lake Nipvigon, as link in what is hoped will in time become secticn of the proposed transâ€"Canada highway joining the east with the west. A letter from J. A. Clermont, well ‘known in Haileybury, and now chairâ€" man of the publicity committee of the Cochrane Board of Trade, was read to the council cn Tuesday night, urging support of the project and the clerk was instructed to draft a resolution along the lines suggested, for presentaâ€" ticn to the government through A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P. The Cochrane Board points out that the highway will be completed as far as Hearst this year that the missing link in the transâ€" Canada road are all in Ontario ana that if this section of the North Counâ€" try can persuade the Legislature, that this is the logical route there will be great benefits to be derived from the whole of thsese districts The road is being projected eastward from Maniâ€" toba and the time is fast approaching when there will be a through highway from coast to coast. The council will do all in its power to further the proâ€" ject and it is thought likely that the preposed survey will be made this year." Ten years ago The Advance had a rather extended review of the good work done by the Victorian Order of Nurses in the town of Cobalt, the inâ€" formation being published in view of the fact that Councillor E. L. Longâ€" more a week or two before had suggestâ€" ed that the V.O.N. service would fill a want here and prove of particular value to the town of Timmins. The Canadian Mining Institute at its annual mesting in 1920 passed a reâ€" solution urging the Government to adopt nickel as a metal for the curâ€" rency of the country. In The Advance of March 17th, 1920, the Marshallâ€"Ecclestone Co. had a full page advertisement giving a review 0+ some of «the special bargains available at the firm‘s fire sale following the deâ€" struction of the Marshallâ€"Ecclestone building on the corner of Third avenue and Pine street. a visitor ‘to Timmins this week, renewâ€" ing qcauaintances and greeting his hosts cf old friends in town."‘ "Bornâ€" In Timmins, Ont., on Saturday, March 14th, 1920, to Mr. and Mrs. P. Dougall, Third avenueâ€"a son." "G. W. Eccleâ€" stone, M.P.P., of Bracebridge, paid a visit to the camp over the weekâ€"end." "Guy McChesney, who has been on the Hollinger staff for some time past, left yesterday for the Gowganda district where he intends to do some prospectâ€" ing work." "The passengers on the stalledâ€"inâ€"theâ€"snow T. N. O. train on this branch line last week were well fed at the Reamsbottom camp at Conâ€" naught, just as the delayed passengers the previous week at the same point. One of the engineers says that if the season were not so late he would buy regular meal tickets for Connaught." "J. D. MacLean, town foreman and deâ€" puty fire chief, returned to town last week after several months spent in hospital at Toronto undergoing treatâ€" ment for injuries suffered to his back some years ago in a hockey match. All his friends (meaning everybody) are delighted to see Jack back again and locking to be in the best of health and strength. The treatment was successâ€" ful, and though Jack will have to conâ€" tinue to wear a plaster cast for his back for the next couple of months, after that he will be his old self again."" "G. E. Fairbairn, clerk of the township of, Teck, Kirkland Lake, renewed acquainâ€" tance in the camp last week." "Frank Francis, of the firm of Hillâ€"Clarkâ€" Francis, left on Tuesday on a business trip to New Liskeard." "Miss L. Malâ€" tais returned on the weekâ€"end train from a visit to the south, where she was visiting the spring millinery disâ€" plays and seeing the latest in new styles and modes in ladies‘ headwear." In the spring of 1920 a big snow storm tied un traffic on the T. N. O. Ry. A heavy fall of snow delayed the trains at Scuth Porcupine and Conâ€" naught. Most of the trains were severâ€" al hours latse. ASKING SURVEY OF ROAD FROM HEARST TO ORIENT BAY In the Dominion election campaign of 1920 the first public political meetâ€" ing in Timmins was held in the interâ€" ests of Angus MacDonald, the Indeâ€" pendent Labour Party candidate. Mr. MacDonald was up from Cobalt : for the occasion and made an able address. Other speakers included Mr. Parkhouse, of Toronto. There was a large attendâ€" ance and the meeting was looked upon as a particularly interesting and helpful one. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the follewinzg:â€"*"Mr. Jack White, accountâ€" ant, cf the Imperial Bank at Timmins and later at Smooth Rock Falls, was "Geo. M. Black, formerly of the Porâ€" cupine Crown office staff, left here on Sunday‘s National for Sudbury where he has a responsible position on the. office staff of the C.P.R. divisional superintendent." "W. J. Asseltine, of: Cobalt, was a visitor to the camp toâ€" day and renewed acquaintances here Mr. Asseltine is connected with a firm dealing in mining supplies. Their head office is in Cobalt, and at the present time they are considering the opening of an office in Timmins." "in the provincial police court at Cobalt on Saturday last a Russian faced two charges of selling liquor. There was also a charge against him of illegally having firearms being an @lien enemy. â€"The â€" latter charge was laid ocver as he claimed to be a British subject and that his papers proving this were in Ottawa.
