keep the water from Third Avenue from running into yards and cellars. One of the ratepayers said that they wanted to help in the fight against the high cost of living by having gardens but that the water would prevent this. The town engingeer was asked to look into the matter and do anything posâ€" sible. Mr. Yankovich, who had had the contrnact for some new sidewalk construction had a claim for extras, but was asked to submit this in writing. He also asked that "hold back" on the contract be paid back to him but the council pointed out that this could not be done under the byâ€"law. The At the town council meeting ten years ago Councillor Longmore introâ€" duced a byâ€"law to have all assessment notices and tax notices sent by registâ€" ered mail wherever there might be doubt as to whether or not the parties addressed might receive them. Counâ€" cillor Longmore said that the most o1 the notices could be personally served but every year there were citizens claiming that the notices mailed them did not arrive. It was to cover such case that the byâ€"law was designed. "The k«lea is, "said Councillor Longmore, "to show that the town is really anxious that all should receive their notices" Residents of Birch Street were present at the council meeting to ask that some work be done on that street to rich resources, The Advance pointed out that this section had never had a representative in the Senate. A man from Temiskaming should be given one of the vacant Senatorshirs. There was a Tory Government at Ottawa at the time and The Advance thought it should deal fairly with the big North. "It is generally acknowledged by those who have given the question thought that the great North Land has not reâ€" teived the assistance nor the attention that its importance and its extent of great natural resources demand, "said The Advance at the time. "Perhaps one of the chief reasons for the lack of attention from the powers that be has been general lack of knowledge of the country and its possibilities,, and, in turn, this lack of knowledge may be blamed to more or less extent upon the fact that the North Land has never been adequately represented at Otâ€" Those who have been interested in recent months in the fact that The Adâ€" vance has been advocating the appointâ€" ment of a Senator to represent the North Land in the Upper House will be still more interested to know that ten years ago The Advance urged this same advantage for the North Land. In its articlffies ten years ago. The Advance ppinted out that this new country was inadequaitely represented in the houses of parliament at Ottawa and Toronto, the ridings being so large and the genâ€" eral lack of knowedge of the country being notable. It was pointed out that if this promising country were to develâ€" op and expand as it should it woula need all the representation possible in outside centres.

Auer, presâ€" ident of the T.A.A.A. occupied the chair for the meeting. The report of the secâ€" retaryâ€"treasurer showed a balance of over $430.00 on hand and this was conâ€" sidered as very satisfactory Mr. Auer pointed out that there was need for great expenditures on the grounds in the ensuing year and much money would be needed for this, the balance on hand being only a smalll proportion of the amount necessary. Dr. McInnis brought up the question of a communâ€" ity building as a memorial to the soldâ€" iers from the town. Such a building he said, if erected on or near the athâ€" letic grounds would also serve for the ccomvenience of those engaged in sports. On motion of Messrs. Field and Halton the meeting went on record as in symâ€" pathy with the Mayor‘s proposal. Brief reports from the presidents of the ccal baseball, football arj}i lacrosse clubs were received. Under the byâ€"laws and constitution of the association the voting committee (composed of three members from each of the clubs in the association) had to meet to elect the president and secretary of the Timmins Amateur Athletic Association. This voting committee met the following day, the representatives beingâ€"W. A. The Timmins Amateur Athletic Asâ€" sociation (known more familiarly as the Grounds Committee) held its anâ€" nual meeting for 1920 in the council chamber, Timmins, on April 22nd. All the clubs in the association were represented and Mr. Wylie was present for North America: Announcement was made ten years ago that the Hollinger Stores would close every Wednesday at 12.30 p.m. during the months of May, June, July, August and September. For the conâ€" venience of the public the Hollinger Stores was remaining open until 9 p.m. on Saturdays during the five months referred to. "In the early closing durâ€" ing the summer months," said The Adâ€" vance, "the Hollinger Stores have se a pace for the other merchants in town. in past years only three months, June, July and August, have been regularly »c:erved as coming under the plan of a Wednesday halfâ€"holiday. To these ‘hree months, the Hollinger plan adds ‘wo more, thus making it certain that aill the summer season in this country will be included." A heading in The Advance ten years ago could have been used last week again. The heading wasâ€"‘"Improvea service on the T. N. O. by Next Week." The improved service ten years ago, however, was poor stuff comâ€" pared to the improvements these days. The chief feature of the improvements ten years ago was that Trains Nos. 46 and 47, the Toronto trains, would run daily, except Sunday, instead of only four days a week as had been the case. Further improvements were promised for the new time table to go into efâ€" fect on June 27th, 1930. council decided to have a number of additional street lights put in at stratâ€" egic points in town so that the diarkness might be lighted away. been urging this need for some time. At the time of the survey and for a time afterwards the people were hopeâ€" ful that the required dock would be built here, but it was about seven years afterwards before the dock was really built through the good offices of Jos. A. Bradette, M.P. Toâ€"day, however, the dock is scarcely satisfactory, being built too high for normal water, and also the construction at the waterâ€"side of the dock being dangerous to boats using the dock, especially when there is a swell from a passing boat. It may be noted, too, that the gangways to the dock are all too steep for convenience Following a largelyâ€"signed petition to the Department of Public Works at Ottawa, a survey was made ten years ago to secure a suitable site for a wharf at Timmins. The Advance had Mr and Mrs. Beland, of South Porâ€" cupine, lost their fourâ€"yearâ€"old child on April 22nd. as the result of a most unfortunate accident. The youngster in some mannner or another got a partlyâ€"filled box of some sort of patent medicine pills and finding them not unpleasant to the taste swallowed about halfâ€"aâ€"boxâ€"full of them. The child was takemn seriously ill, but the cause of the trouble was not known until several hours afterwards. Every posâ€" sible medical effort was made to save the child‘s life, but all endeavours to counteract the effects of the medicine which had thus been taken in so great an overdose as to become a poison were ineffectual, and the youngster died a few days after taking the pills Anâ€" other youngster is said to have shared in the eating of the pills, but this child did not get enough to cause any serâ€" ious harm. Ten years ago Goldfields G.W.V.A. eleoted its officers for the year,. Voting by ballot was carried on at Timmins, Ssouth â€" Porcupine and Schumacher. The following were the officers electâ€" edaâ€"president, W. T. Curtis; viceâ€"presâ€" ident, G. S. Drew; second viceâ€"presidâ€" ent, D. J. Beckman. Premier Drury ten years ago introâ€" duced a bill in the Ontario Legislature empowering the Government to proâ€" ceed with the extension of the T. N. O. to James Bay. It was not intended to start work at any early date, the time being considered inopportune by the Grovernment. Fire of unknown origin on April 27th, 1920, destroyed the McChesney sawmill at the Mattagami river. Mr. McChesâ€" ney‘s loss was estimated at over $10,000. The blaze and its reflection were plainâ€" ly seen from town, and many thought that the lower part of the town was on fire. The fire brigade here were ready to turn out if they could be of any asâ€" sistance, but there was nothmg that they could do. The Advance of Apwil 28th, 1920, saidâ€""The innumerable friends of Mr. and Mrs. T. F. King were shocked and grieved to learn of the death of Mrs. King in the Cottage hospital on Monâ€" day afternoon about three o‘clock. Some time ago she had been operated upcn for appendicitis and made a satisâ€" factory recovery. Last week after the birth of child (stillâ€"bom) she was taken seriously ill with peritonitis, and Dr. Dickson, of Sudbury, was summonâ€" ed in consultation with Dr. McInnis. On Sunday Mrs. King was removed to the Cottage hospital, where Drs. Dickâ€" son and McInnis performed an operaâ€" tion, this being the only chance to save her life. Despite all that medical skill and attention could do she proved beyond the aid of science, passing away on Monday. To the bereaved husbhand the sincere symphthy of all is extended. One child, about a year old, also surâ€" vives.

On April 28th, 1920, A. Hertzog, a shift boss at the Hollinger and two men on his shift, each of the latter being of Bulgarian birth and about 23 years old, were killed by an explosicon at the mine. Mr. Hertzog was one of the oldâ€" timers of the Porcupine and was very popular and highly esteemed and his death was much regretted here. The funeral took place with Masonic honâ€" ours, the members of the Royal Arch and Blue Chapters attending the last rites for their departed brother. crosse. On learning that Mr. Auer could not act again, the voting comâ€" mittee unanimously elected Fire Chief Borland as president for 1920. B. E. Martin was elected secretaryâ€"treasurer. A. F. Brigham was elected an honorary president of the assoziation in return for the interest and kindness he has shown to all clean sport in town. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Auer the retiring president, and H. C. Macâ€" Donald, secretaryâ€"treasurer for 1919, for the time, interest and effort they had given to the work of the associaâ€" tion. On the following Monday and Tuesday the board of governors of the TA.A.A, whose chief work for the year was to be the management of the athletic grounds, had meetings to hurry along the preparation of the grounds for the season. The board as constitâ€" uted, in addition to the two officers named above including the following representatives of the different sportsâ€" W. A. Field, for football; D. Loughrin, for lacrosse; a representative for baseâ€" ball; and C. G. Williams, representing the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines. It should be noted that the Hollinger provided the grounds at the nominal fee of one dollar per year, and The Adâ€" vance does not believe the mine ever rezeived even the dollar, though always assisting generously to sports in other ways as well as by the virtual gift of the grounds.

The body was embalmed and is being held with a view to getting in touch with any relatives or near friends he may have had." ‘"The open dance given by Golden Beaver Lodge in the Masonic hall on Friday evening last, like all previous events under the same auspices, proved a successful and most enjoyable event. There was a big crowd, a good time, and all present enjoyed the dancing, the music, the social pleasures and the pleasing lunch served.‘" "Mrs. Chas. E.

The neat sum of $106.00 was realized from the collection at the door. The theatre management gave the theatre without charge for the ccâ€" casion. Dr. J. A. McInnis, mayor of Timmins, presided and in his opening remarks spoke of the need for assisâ€" tance to the Jewish people suffering from the hardships of the war. Rev. J. D.
