The front page of The Advance of. Aug,. 18th, 1920, was alive with upâ€"toâ€" date news of events past and to come. In the latter class there were articles forecasting the programme for the big Labour Day event planned for Timâ€" mins by the Timmins Football Club. Senior and Junior football, baseball, lacrosse, golf, tennis, firemen‘s tournaâ€" ment, all sorts of races for all kinds and conditions of people, addresses by leading public men, novelties, sports, athletics and whatâ€"not were on the programme. There was another article referring to the expected visit of the Imper.ial Press touring party to Timâ€" mins. The Imperial Press Conference met in 1920 at Ottawa, and arrangeâ€" ments were made to have these leading British journalists visit the Porcupine. Eill another article in the issue referâ€" red to the expected visit here on Auâ€" gust 25th of between 150 and 200 teaâ€" chers from all parts of Ontario. Anâ€" other front page article mentioned the Oddfellows picnic, even famous then, and to be held on August 25th that year. These were a few of the articles of what may be termed "future news." Then there was mention also of the musical comedy, "My Soldier Girl," to be presented at Timmins by a company of 35 people on Sept. l1st. Ten years ago The Advance notifiea all concerned that soldiers from Timâ€" mins whose names were on the honour certificates given by the town and who had not already received the certifiâ€" cates, might secure their certificates by calling at the Government Employment Bureau. It was pointed out that relaâ€" tives or friends could secure the certiâ€" ficates for any of the soldiers who found it inconvenient to call personâ€" ally. The 1920 T. N. O. employees‘ picâ€" nic was held at New Liskeard and provâ€" | ed both a most enjoyable event and a | wonderful success. Employees and | their families and friends came from | all along the line. Timmins sent a very | respectable delegation to Liskeard for the occasion. There were about 2500 persons included in the attendance of the employees and their families while the general public ran the grand total at the event to around 4,000. Farmers drove for long distances to enjoy the event. Races, athletic events, sports and all the usual pleasures of a picnic were enjoyed and all present were agreed that it was an unusually fine picnic. There were special reduced rates on the railway for the occasion. Upon this latter fact The Advance at the time hung little sermon, pointâ€" ing out that reduced rates on the railâ€" way would add to the attendance at all | North Land events; that the various parts of the North should know each ‘ other better: that visits on occasion | to the several centres of the North would prove the best way to bind the different parts of this great country toâ€" | gether; and that the railway might d0| much along this line by the encourâ€" agement given to travel by reduced’ rates. | snn mm mm mm en csw omes: o on m mm omm tm ces mm smm o en The Advance of Aug. 18th, 1920, had the following:â€""His many frients an«a acquaintances in the North Land will feel sincere sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. John Jones in the death last week of their little daughter. Mr. Jones has been a wellâ€"known figure here for several years, being actively engaged in prospecting and mining work. The family also resided here for several months on more than one occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Jones for some time past have had their home on Rushton aveâ€" nue, Toronto. There on August 10th, their little daughter, Goldie Dorothy Valma Jones, passed away after a brief illrnress from scarlet fever. The child was ill only a few days, and despite the fact that specialists were called in, trained nurses secured at once and everything else possible done the little girl passed away. The funeral took place on Wednesday last to Prospeci cemetery, Toronto. A number of Porâ€" cupine people who were in the city at the time attended the funeral as a mark of their sympathy for the sorâ€" rowing parents. The floral tributes on the coffin were remarkable for their number and beauty. The other little girl, who is about six years of age, is ill at the present time with the same disease that robbed the family of one of thpir dear treasures. The many friends here of Mr. and Mrs. Jones wili sincerely hope that this second little girl will make an early and complete recovery." In the N.O.F.A. football league game here ten years ago Timmins won from the McIntyre with the score 1 to 0, with some good play during the conâ€" test. Both teams were handicarped by difficulty in getting their regular lineâ€" up ‘but all the players went into the battle with energy and put up a lively game. The Hollinger baseball team was easily the winner of the Porcupine Mines baseball league in 1920. Out of six games played the Hollinger won five and lost one. Timmins won seâ€" cond place in the league, and the Mcâ€" Intvre and Dome tieda for third place. Fines in the Timmins police court ten years ago totalled $500.00 for the one week for bréaches of the Ontario Temperance Act. Ten years ago Timmins made an easy win from Porcupineâ€"Domeâ€"McInâ€" tyre team in a deferred game of thns N.O.B.A. series. The score was 10 to 1. Geo. Gray and McIntyre were the batâ€" tery for the visitors and, Henry and Sleutz for the Timmins team. The Advance ten years ago had the following paragratn that will be of special interest to many here now:â€" "Last week at Sudbury there was a meeting of the officers of the 97th Alâ€" gonguin Rifles, with the purpose of reâ€" organizing this regiment. The meeting The hydropiane of the Canadian Aero Film Co. made some little stir at Barber‘s Bay ten years ago when i: unexpectedly made appearance there and eventually landed, remaining there for about an hour. There were four people travelling in the big air anc water machine. The hydroplane had been at Elk Lake and was on its way to Cochrane. It had intended to make a landing before reaching Cochrane, but found most of the territory unsuitâ€" able for the purpose. In most places where it looked promising for lanAing the airmen suspected muskeg and did not care to chance it. Accordingly the airship went off its course to find a good place to land, and Barber‘s Bay way found as good a spot as any that appeared. After tuning up the engine, giving the machine a little generai overhauling and stretching their limbs and so on, the airmen left Barber‘s Bay for Cochrane. . The distance from Barâ€" ber‘s Bay to Cochrane, some 34 miles as the crow flies was covered in 21 minutes. The hydroplane was on its way to Belcher Islands. Reference was made in The Advance ten years ago to the purchase by the MciIntyre Porcupine Mines, Limited, of the Blue Diamond Coal Mines, Limited, of Brule, Alberta. The Temiskaming Mining Co. was to take a half interâ€" est in the property thus acquired. The Blue Diamond Coal Mines had an acsreage of 3300 acres. The production of steam and coking coal was 500 tons per day. ,..â€"..â€"...â€".Qâ€"AIâ€"IIâ€" |rc-aflinnecl the decision of the meetâ€" ing of February 12th that Major Broâ€" !die. of Sudbury, be the commanding officer of the regiment and that he proceed to reâ€"organize the unit. Among those present at the meeting last week were:â€"Major Mac Lang, M.P.P. for this riding; Col. Cressey, Major Arthur, | Major Brodie, Capt. Hall, Lieut, Ray Smith, Capt. Henderson, Capt. Ferry, ILieut. Beath, Capt. Cameron, Major Webster, Lieut. Mitchell, all of Sudâ€" t bury; Col. Armstrong, Capt. McKee, ‘Cobalt; Capt. Young, Col. McKee, Lieut. S. E. McKee, Elk Lake; Capkt. | Gso. E. Cole, Haileybury; Capt. Ainâ€" !sley. St. Catharines. After the meetâ€" Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"*"‘Trouble has recently been caused by men from New Brunswick going west on the harvesters‘ excurâ€" sions on the Transcontinental. One day last week when the excursion train reached Cochrane all the stores closed down to avoid the raids that are made by the excursion parties. At a point west of Cochrane considerable loss was experienced by the storekeepers through the actions of _the excurionists. Some years ago excursionists from the eastern provinces were responsible for similar trouble at points on the C.P.R., such as Renfrew. Eventually the C.P.R. installed special officers and a steel cell on the excursion trains for the West and the whole trouble was automatically cured." "Mr. L. Shaw, T. N. O. engineer, left last week for a month‘s holidays in the south, North Bay, Toronto, Buffalo, New York and other centres to be visited by him beâ€" fore his return here in September.® "Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Martin and famiâ€" ly moved last week from Timmins to Ssouth Porcupine where they will reside in future. They will be missed very much here by wide dircles of friends This is vitally important Mecetorists!

L. Brady spent the weskâ€"end with friends at Haileybury." "Robt. Hoggarth spent a few days last week visiting frionds in New Liskeard and other Central Temiskaming towns." "Miss Ethol Joyner, of Schumacher, is visiting in Cobalt and other points south." "Sheriff Geo. Caldbick, of Haillewwiry, was a visitor to Timmins this week, the duties of his office calling liim nere." ‘"Mr. Mackay, of the New Onâ€" tario Colonization Co., is in the camp this week in negotation with settlers and others in regard to the purchase of pulpwood and logs this winter." ‘"The funeral of Mr. Willtam Walsh took place from the R.C. church to the cemetery here on Monday ~f this week. The late Mr. Walsh had been ill for some time, suffering iroxmn tuberculosis. He was formerly emâ€" ployed at the Hollinger where he was much esteemed and respected by his fellow employees. Sincere regret is expressed by all who knew him aat his untimely death." "Bush fires have been burning in the district again ti:is week, but none of the settlements apâ€" pear to be in any danger. The chis{ fire ranger and his staff have the situâ€" ation in full control. ‘The fires are chiefly of slash amand rubbish. They have made an unusual smoke and from a distance appear much worse than they really are. Tuesday night thi week the heavy wind had blown enowiglh smoke into town to make a nuisance. The fires are many miles from town and are not heading in this direction." "Fully three thousand people joined in the pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes at Ville Marie on Sunâ€" day, Solemn high mass was sung by Rev. Fr.

Thirty bands will! furnish continuâ€" ous concerts at the Canadian Nationâ€" al Exhibition, including the Allâ€"Canaâ€" da Fermanent Force Band, an espeâ€" cially recruited organization of sevenâ€" tyâ€"six instrumentalists from Cansda‘s permanent military establishments. The Department of Militia anc Deâ€" fence, Ottawa, has granted special nerâ€" mission for this unusual attraction in view of the fact that this will be "Allâ€" Canada Year." Captain Charles O‘â€" Neill, 22nd Regiment, Quebec Citadel, is now rehearsing the band and will be its conductor for the two weeks comâ€" mencing Friday, August 22nd. Reference was made recently in The Advance to the report of the death of Ross Hamilton, who was one of the clever female impersonators visiting Timmins on more than one occasion with Capt. Plunkett‘s noted Dumbells Comâ€" pany. All will be pleased to learn that the story of the death of this pppular artist was unfounded. As a matter of THIRTY BANDS TO BE AT THE EXHIBITION THIS YEAR fact, the later reports tell of how Mr. Hamilton unwittingly gave reâ€" laltives in Nova Scotia a shock by unâ€" expectedly visiting them recently whilzs they were under the impression that the story of his death was true. Et does not appear how the wrong report got into the press despatches but his friends here will be satisfied in knowâ€" ing that Ross Hamilton is still very much alive and enjoying the best of health and strength. a W
