According to figures given in The Advance ten years ago, this town of Timmins in 1921 had a population of 6000. Preight receigr\ts for the ysear 1920 were $725,000.00. The payroll for the year was $4,500,000.00. Bank clearings for the year amounted to $7,000,000. In the first six months of 1921 there were 93 births in the town of Timmins, with 34 marriages and 23 deaths. These figures included only the muniâ€" cipal limits of the town and did not inâ€" clude Moneta, Rochester or other secâ€" tions that were really parts of the town but did not come within the municiâ€" pality.

The byâ€"law required the cons:ruction from the ground up, and this was suggested as an unnecessary hardship in the case of small frame houses. One councillor said it meant that the chimney cost more than all the rest of the house in some cases. The fire chief said that a "hanging" chimney was just as safe as the cther kind if prroperly done. It was decided to amend the byâ€"law in this regard if the fire underwriters did not object to camp.

Most of the forest fires that cause loss of valuable prophkrty and danger to human life were due,The Adâ€" vance pointed out, to carelessness and worse, and a little more thought and attention would easily reduce the forest fire menace to much smaller proporâ€" tions. The Advance ten yvears ago had the Because of an enquiry from a basketâ€" ball fan in Iroquois Falls, The Advance ten years ago asked if there were any basketball players in Timmins, or any here who would like to play this game. The Advance suggested that if Timmins could muster a basketball team or two or more such teams Iroquois Falls was anxious to meet them for fun or marâ€" bles. Considerable space was given in The Advance ten years ago. to a reportec discovery of manganese in Whitesides township. The discovery was reported by H. L. Warren, prospm2ctor and poet. Graphite was also in evidence on the claims, Mr. Warren told The Advance. The find was looked upon as a very imâ€" portant one.

The battery for Timmins was the unbeatable one of Nellie Studor and Fearn McCarthy. ‘tween the Dome and the Timmins footâ€" ball teams in the King Cup series. For the first time in the series the Dome lost a point, The result of the match was a draw, 0 to 0.

Several prospectors from this district had worked on the Belcher Isâ€" lands, but they were not all agreed as to the mineral wealth there. Dr. Young was in charge of the Geological Survey Falls in the district baseball league. Timmins lost this game, the score being 7 to 6. The battery for the Falls was Little and Morrison, while Fatr and McIntyre were the battery for Timmins. "It was a great game," The Advance said at the time, and the ten years since show no reason to change this opinion. The annual picnic of the Daughters of England will be held at Wilson‘s Farm, Golden City, on Sunday, August Z2nd. Free pop and ice cream will be served at this picnic, but members are asked to bring their own refreshments, also tea, sugar and milk. Friends may accompiany the Daughters of England on this picnic, but their bus fares must be paid. The advertisement elsewhere in this issue gives particulars. Buses will leave the Moose hall at 10 a.m. sharp. In other words, it would appear that the Ontario Government intends to open work and camps at certain points in the districts named and perhaps in others. Men who are suffering hardâ€" ship and securing what little support may be tendered them from the muniâ€" ciplalities in which they may happen to be will have the chance to go to one of these campg. If they refuse the chance the municipality will be freed from responsibility in the matter. The Advance ‘does not like the suggestion that "wages will be nominal." Such a nrecast has an unpleasant sugges.:ion in view of the fact that wages were reducâ€" ed in this part of the North on relief work last winter without any forecast or warning at all. The wages paid last winter on relief work were ‘"nominal" enough. It is to be hoped that the Government does not spoil a good idea by a rate of pay that will make it little better than charity. HMowever it has to be admitted that from the point of view of the unemployed even a nominal wage, soâ€"called, is preferable to living on the charity of municipalities already overburdened with taxes and costs. The municipalities should in any case be relieved from a burden of unemployâ€" ment for which they are in many cases in no way responsible. DAUGHTERS OF ENGLAND ANNUAL PICNIC, AUGUST 2 In an announcement made at Toronâ€" to last week Hon. Mr. Finlayson said that plans for commencing unemployâ€" ment road work in Northern Oniaric, in conjunction with the Dominion Govâ€" ernment‘s relief fund have already been commenced by the Ontario #overnâ€" ment. Sites for camps, the announceâ€" ment says, have been marked out and inspected by district engineers of the Northern Developinmnent department in {the Thunder Bay, Kenora and Nipisâ€" sing districts, where Hon. Mr. Finlayâ€" son recently made a personal inspecâ€" tion. ‘"There is no thought of recruitâ€" ing battalions *+of unemployed," said Hon. Mr. Finlayson. ‘"There is to be no sense of military discipline or comâ€" pulsion, but there are men in the norâ€" thern and southern municipalitiee to whom we can give this work. They can be asked if they want to come into these camps, where they will get an allowâ€" ance and whatever wages can be fixed with the Federal Government. It will have to be a nominal wage, for you cannot get value on such work during| the winter months." Minister of Lands and Forests Says There is no Thought of Recruiting Battalions of Unemployed. Working on Plans for Relief in North "All his many friends in the camp will .lbe sincerely sorry to learn that A.

McHugh and family in the recent death of their little foster son, aged 14 months." ‘"Mr. and Mrs. F. M.

While overseas Mr. Bridger will no doubt take the opportunity of visiting his old home and friends in the Garden of England." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "It would scarcely seem possible that Mr. Finlayson could be present at any function without some mention of the Transâ€"Canada highway, which is alâ€" ways a requested topic. Every cloud had a silver lining, he said, and it was this period of depression that was hastenâ€" ing the building of the Transâ€"Canada highway. Out of the depression there would be an enormous amount of money available for work next fall and winter. Many towns in OIld fand New Ontario have felt the depression and unemployment but it was the speakâ€" er‘s opinion that none felt it worse than the towns north of North Bay. Ordinarily there would be no depres-1 sion here but good business had atâ€" tracted many transients. While muniâ€" cipalities could not have these newâ€" comers starve it was unfair to ask them to keep them. Mention was made of the recently announced plan of placâ€" ing transients in labour camps, though "Occasion was taken to thank the Lake Shore Mine officials for their hosâ€" pitality, the speaker claiming he did not know where one would get a greatâ€" er reception. Forecasting that the Lake Shore would be the greatest gold mine in the world after this year, he praised the property for their substanâ€" tial buildings and the well kept grounds. This condition had an effect on other properties and on the town itself, to such an extent, the Minister stated, that only Kapuskasing in Norâ€" thern Ontario was comparable in imâ€" | provements. | "Hon. W. Finlayson after his opening remarks, stated his pleasure in having as guests at his summer home at Temâ€" agami the Orillia party, described as "large, select and diifficult to handle." To him Northern Ontario was the greatest country in the world and was a great field to invest money and to build roads. Some day Southern Onâ€" tario would get enormous returns from it. Last week The Advance made reâ€"| lat ference to the meeting of the Kiwanis Daf Club at Kirkland Lake, there being | it 'thirty members of the Orillia Kiwanis CQ in attendance and a feature of the | fori evening being an address by Hon. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forâ€"| rou ests. _ There were seven members of|the the Kiwanis Club of Timmins at theluml meeting in question and they were parâ€" | T;)C ticularly interested in what was said by | C1A) Hon.

Quefiec, he said, had comâ€" pleted their survey and Ontario had enâ€" gineers now at work from Larder Lak» to Cheminis. The road in Orkario would be narrower than usual to comâ€" ply with Quebec specifications, though he didn‘t expect it would be completed this year. In closing he thanked the Kiwanians for their hospitality which was typical of the warmâ€"hearted brand. to be found all over Northern Ontario." Government who were paying half of the costs, had left the decision of the route to the Ontario government. The latter had sent out aerial and ground parties to study the various routes and it was hoped that from the material collected a decision would be given beâ€" fore the end of August. From a tourâ€" ist standproint he felt the Superior route was one of the most attractive in the world, though the Hearst road was utilitarian and scenic to a degree. The Irock road was an expensive cne though lclay rcads required considerable money for drainage. Mr. Finlayson averred that neither he nor the Premier had arrived at any opinion as to a route though he was satisfied that wherever it went, connections would be made both north and south. "As to the location of the Highway, Mr. Finlayson said that the Pederai it was not the intention to fores the men to go. But if they were not willâ€" ing, he said, to earn their board and some wages at camps, they had no right to come to municipalities for aid. A.

As soon as the slide stopped they rushed forward and worked frantically (that is the word used hy those describing the incident as the only one fitting the way the men worked).
