Martin‘s team came first *# 1ahkha ) e _ M : C N 0C Emt in the race, and so the A. R. Globe Shield was declared as passing petrâ€" manently into possession of Mr. Martin as his property. It may be noted that the Globe trophy the next year Was . PP VI LE / 10 9. 0s wes. The first place won cash of $152.00 and some special prizes given by merchants; the second prizes included $102.33 in cash, and some special donations of merchandize; third place, $52.33 in cash and some merchandize prizes; all the other prizes were merchandize doâ€" nated by business men. A total of $338.00 in cash was collected. A crowd of between 2000 and 3000 watched the In the issue of The Advance of March 24th, 1920, over a column of frontâ€"page space was given to report of a meetâ€" ing held at the New Empire theatre in the interests of Angus McDonald, Laâ€" bour candidate in the election then in progress. The meeting was very largeâ€" ly attended. N. McKinnon, secretary eof the Porcupine Miners‘ Union, was the chairman for the evening. <In adâ€" gition to the candidate, there were the following to give addresses:â€"J. Gotrâ€" man, of Cobalt, Mr. Lanocrette, of Coâ€" balt, and L. S. Newton, of Timmins. Angus McDonald, the Labour candiâ€" date, was given very hearty reception. He was a forceful and effective speaker and won many friends. He cutlined his policy and asked for the votes of all but espescially those of the labour class. The other addresses were pleasâ€" ing and effective. big race On March 19th, 1920, Hon. Arthur Meighen, then Minister of the Interior in the Borden Government, was Oone of the speakers at a big political rally held in the Empire theatre, Timmins, in the interests of Major E. F. Pullen, Liberalâ€"Conservative candidate for the riding of Temiskaming in the election campaign then in progress. Other speakers at the rally included: G. B. Nicholson, M.P. for East Algoma, Maâ€" jor Pullen and D. Bertrand, Independâ€" ent Liberal candidate. The latter askâ€" ed to be allowed to speak and was givâ€" en this privilege, being called to the platform and given a place there and allowed time to speak in both French and English.. R. J. Jemmett was the chairman for the evening. The adâ€" @resses were of high standard throughâ€" out, that of Mr. Nicholson making esâ€" pecial appeal. In opening his address Hon. Arthur Meighen referred to his pleasant surprise at the size and #@moâ€" dern type of the town of Timmins. In referring to soldiers‘ pensions, he sugâ€" gésted that the Government that had supported the soldiers overseas would surely do better than the men who would have deserted the men in the trenches when they called for reinâ€" forcements. The Government had inâ€" curred much hostility and unpopularity by trying to do things for the soldiers overseas and on their return, but were ready to go on and do all possible to repay the great debt owed to Canada‘s fighting men, said Mr. Meighen. Hon. Mr. Meighen also touched on tariff and other matters. He thought protection the only reasonable policy for Canada and pointed out that in office the other party had shown it believed this, too. Major Pullen made an effective address, outlining the policies upon which he was asking the support of the electors. The following paragraph from The Advance of March 24th, 1920, will be read toâ€"day with more than passing interest:â€"‘"From newspaper reports it is gathered that Mac Lang, MP.P., is generously interesting himself in the proposal to induce the legislature this year to go on with the building of the T. N. O. Railway to James Bay. C . UCKLE Y‘ M iX TVR E. ud One of the interesting questions beâ€" fore the town council ten years ago was a proposal for the adding of Moneta and Rochester townsites to the town. J. E. Newton asked the council to take up the question of annexing Rochester, with the understanding that the reâ€" sidents of this townsite should get waâ€" ter service from the town. He pointed out the sanitary and other advantages to the town. The cost was very reaâ€" sonable. Dr. McInnis, the mayocr, supâ€" ported the proposal of Mr. Newton, and suggested that perhaps Councillor Kimberley, of Tisdale, who was present, might say something about the annexâ€" ing of Moneta. The latter said he had nothing to say but he did ask the town council as to what proposition they would make in regard to providing Moneta with a water service. The question of the proposed annexation of Moneta and Rochester wasleft in the hands of a committee, including the Mayor and Councillors Longmore and Fogz, to take up with the town solicitor. The council heard some complaints regarding the scavenger service and it was decided that as the complaints inâ€" vestigated had all turned out to be unâ€" founded it might save the time of the committee and of council, if any furâ€" ther complaints be referred first to the sanitary inspector for investigation. The town engineer called attention to the fact that directly contrary to his orders certain people in town were wasting water by deliberately allowing their taps to run full force all the time. He had pointed out to these people that a small stream was just as effective to prevent freezing and was not so serious a waste of water. He figured that about 150,000 gallons of water with a added cost to the town of several hunâ€" dred dollars a month were wasted by this objectionable practice. He suggested the prosecution of the offenders and this was endorsed by the council. It may be noted here that this action was sufficient to remedy the matter at that time, with a consequent saving of several hundred dollars per month for the town. The matter of an isolaâ€" tion hospital was again referred to by the council but no definite action was taken. Dr. Miller, of Toronto, representing Dr. Merchant, Director of Public Inâ€" struction re Technical and Evening Classes, visited Timmins ten years ago and also spent a few days in Iroquois Falls The purpose of the visit was to consider the Technical and Indusâ€" trial Evening Classes that opened in Timmins in 1920, in connection with the public school, and under the ausâ€" pieces of the Ontario Dept. of Educaâ€" tion. The idea was to check up the exâ€" perience of the first year of the classes here as a guide to extension and adâ€" vancement next year. During his visit here Dr. Miller was in touch with the mines and others interested in technical and industrial education; with Principal C. S. Carter, of the pubâ€" lic school, who had contributed so much to the success of the classes, with the public school board; with the specialists who had given such efficient service as instructors in the and with the Technical and Industrial Education committee who were so largeâ€" ly responsible for the success of the classes here. Dr; Miller was very fayâ€" ourably impressed with the classes here. To The Advance Dr. Miller referred to the remarkable progress made in deâ€" veloping evening classes in industrial, technical â€" and â€" commercial work throughout the province. The success achieved he said, was beyond all exâ€" pectations. He quoted five reasons for the present special interest. These inâ€" cludedâ€"Return of young men from overseas; new interest in the ability to do things; realization that the future belongs to those who are efficient in their chosen lines; the leadership givâ€" en by the Dept. of Education, and the financial assistance offered by the proâ€" vince. In the past ten years the use fulness of the evening clasess has °exâ€" tended in this district. That is fine. It will particularly please Cochrane and district. If Mac Lang wishes to particularly please Timmins and district he will take up energeticalâ€" ly the advocacy of a line to be built to connect the T. N. O. at Timmins with the C.N.R. near Sudbury." Ten years ago The Advance had the following editorial note:â€""Up in this North Land there has been a general belief that J. L. Englehart, chairman of the T. N. O. Railway commission, had resigned some time ago. The majority had grown quite resigned to that resignation. Just when the peoâ€" ple were beginning to wonder why a new chairman was nct appointed along comes a despatch from Toronto creditâ€" ing Premier Drury with saying in reply to a question that no resignation had been received from Mr. Englehart by the present Government nor was there any official notice of any resignation in the hands of the previous adminisâ€" tration. Well, good evening! It isn‘t fair! The people up here had duly mourned over Mr. Englehart‘s resignaâ€" tion, had said good words about his service, and generally conducted themâ€" selves in a becoming and kindly waY‘ previous to hailing a new chairman. Now, they are coolly told that it is all "Love‘s Labour Lost," and that the}w might have saved their tears to add to the fiood on Third avenue, Timmins. If Ireland were used as badly as the North Land, the Irish in the United States would be rebelling against Great Britain about twice as often as they do now. However, there is one man in town who is now going along in the joyous hope that he will learn one of these bright, hopeful, spring morning that even the Hearst Government has not really resigned, but that it is all "just newspaper talk." Ten years ago The Advance was warning its readers to be sure not to forget their income tax returns. There were many people then who would not have believed that the same advice would hold good in the year 1930. They thought the income tax impost was only a termporary affair, but it has continued during the years, with some increases and some reductions. The Advance ten years ago took ocâ€" casion to pay tribute to Chief of Police John Brown, of Sudbury, on the ocâ€" casion of his resignation from the posiâ€" tion he had held for a long term of years with credit to himself and beneâ€" fit to Sudbury. The Advance said that there were many people here who knew conditions in Sudbury and conditions as they would easily be, and these folks while not envying Sudbury. its hockey team had been tempted to envy the "Nickel Town" its chief of police. Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"*"Word was received in town this week of the destruction by fire of the handsome new school at Iroquois Falls This modern and wellâ€" equipped structure cost about $50,000.00 and was only recently completed." "R. J. Donohue returned this week from a visit to Montreal and other points east." "Last week the firm of J. P. Bickell Co. was taken over by a new firm, A. L. Hudson Co., who will carâ€" ry on the businesswat the same premises in the Standard Bank building Toronâ€" to." "Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Cannon left last week to take up resident in the West. Mr. Cannon was for some months on the Hollinger Stores staff." "Report has it that new train service is to be inaugurated on the T. N. O. whereby the Toronto trains will run through to Timmins, without interferâ€" ence with the present number of trains per day. The only change will be that the afternoon train from the Junction will be an hour earlier than at present. The new schedule is to go into effect the first of May, but there is no official announcement as yet." "Miss May McCoubrey, of Iroquois Falls, was a visitor to Timmins toâ€"day." "Chief of Police Wilson spent the weekâ€"end in Cobalt, Mrs. Wilson and children reâ€" turning with him to Timmins this week THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO says the RED INDIAN station to the motorist For thousands of Canadian motor»â€" ists, the sign of the Red Indian means better oils and motor fuels ... better service . .. better value. Wherever you care to drive today, you cannot be far from a Red Indian station. They dot the highâ€" ways of the country and, one and all, today and always, bid you "Welcome!" after a visit to relatives in the South." "The river is still frozen over and the ice still holds. There is some traffic still on it but there will not be much longer. This week a team or a man will go through the ice. If the team or man is rescued all will know that the ice is risky. If the team or man get drowned, then all will admit that the ice is not safe. Thus it is, and has been for these many years." "Among those who were on the last stallâ€"inâ€"theâ€" snow train on the Porcupine branch of the T. N. O. was Major Pullen, Conâ€" servative candidate in the present Fedâ€" eral byâ€"election in this riding. Major Pullen was very anxious to get to Porâ€" quis Junction but the T. N. O. would not carry him there because of the snow blockadeâ€"which shows on this occasion anyway that the T. N. O. lived up to its claim that it does not run on political grounds. On the other hand Major Pullen was just as deterâ€" mined as the snow blockade. So, he secured a pair of snowshoes and started off alone from Connaught. He snowâ€" shoed from Connaught to Porquis Junction, arriving in good time and huâ€" mourâ€"proving thus that where there‘s a will there‘s a way, and that the same Major Pullen is a sureâ€"enough North Land man of the type that gets there." The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Following the custom that has been in vogue for the past year or two, provisional school of instruction in infantry, under the auspices of the 97th Algonquin Rifles, will open in the Armories here on Monday, March 3ist. There will be classes held for officers and N. C. O.‘s during the ensuing six weeks and instructors will be provided from one or other of the regular militia units. Those wishing to enter for this period of training should get in touch with Capt. C. E. Eplett, of New Lisâ€" keard, without delay. From him can be secured all information as to hours of instruction and other regulations. It is hoped to have a large class." INFANTRY SCHOOL TO OPEN AT HAILEYXBURY MARCH 31 North Bay Nugget:â€"A New York society offers a prize for the most arâ€" tistic design of an ash can. We‘ll wager one of those collegia.te fiivvers wins first place. J. R. WALKER, AGENT HAILEYBURY MEN AMONG GRAND CHAPTER OFFICERS The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Mr. N. J. McAulay, for many years prominent in Masonic circles in the North Country, received notice late last week that he had been appointed Grand Junior Sojourner of the Grand Chapter in Toronto recently. At the same itme Dr. C. W. Haentschel, who has held office in the Chapter for some years, was elevated to the position of Grand Second Principal, known as the Grand "H". Both these gentlemen have served long and faithfully in the Order and are heartily congratulated by the Craft in general on the honour that has been bestowed upon them." ELK LAKE MAN SENTENCED FOR THEFT OF MINK FUR The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Convicted of the theft of a mink skin from John McKinley, trapper of Elk Lake, Wilfred O‘Brien also of Elk Lake, was sentenced to 60 days in jail by Macistrate Atkinson, when he appeared in police court here on Monday. The skin had been sold by the accused to A. Cohen of Cobalt, for $10, while the latter was on a visit to that section. Cohen sold it to Herman, of New Lisâ€" keard, for $12 on the train as he was returning home and it was through the latter‘s possession that the police finally traced the missing piece of fur. Mcâ€" Kinley identified the pelt by the fact that the left front paw was missing and by other flaws. He had caught the mink from which the skin was taken in his regular business of trapping in the district. . O‘Brien told the magisâ€" trate that he had seen the animal around a water hole near his home and had succeeded in trapping it. He adâ€" mitted that he had no trapper‘s license, however, and his evidence was disâ€" counted to the extent that a conviction was registered." Husband (feeling a twinge in the back while he is tuning in the wireless reâ€" ceiver)â€"I believe I‘m getting lumbago. Wifeâ€"What‘s the use, dear?
