White vs. the town of Timmins was finally settled last week at Haileybury. The case arose from the use of a dwelling north of the town as an isolation hosp‘tal. The town had been dealing with a man whom it was believed was authorized to sell or rent the house, and when a hurry need for }an isolation hospital for a smallpox case was encountered the town made use of this dwelling. Mr. White, on finding the house so used without his permission, eventually entered suit against the town. The town made many efforts to settle the case, but found this could not be dons without prejudicing its rights. The case came up for trial at Haileybury this year, but Mr. White‘s title to the land on which the house stood not being establish=d. certain technical questions arose as to the rights and liabilities of the various l | The Advance ten years ago made the following reference to a case that had occupied the attention of the courts and authorities for considerable time:â€" Under the heading:â€""How are These Guys Going to Vote Anyh>w?" The Advance ten years ago said:â€"*"Fred says he can‘t vote for any Tory candiâ€" date because that would be voting for a Meighan government. How mean! Charlie says he is too democratic to voie for any King government. And neither of them can vote for Labour, because that‘s to> much like work." â€"~ . On Tuesday, Oct. 4th, 1921, about noon, a traveller was coming along Tamarack street, carrying his sample grip in his hand, and just as he reached the=â€"corner of Tamarack street and Sixth avenue, he collapsed on theâ€"walk. A young man saw him fall down and went to his assistance. Dr. Mcore was hastily summoned but the man had passed beyond human aid. Papers on the body identified the dead man as H. Nathan, a reprvesentative of an Engâ€" ‘lish cable company. His home apparâ€". _ently was in Manchester, England, and he was in this country representing the British firm, the company having Toâ€" ronto headquarters for Canada. The deceased was registered at the Queen‘s hotel, Timmins, for his visit to Timâ€" mins. He was between 50 and 55 years of age. Death was due to heart failure. The company‘s office in Toronto was communicated with and a prompt reply by wire received to give every attention and consideration. The body was emâ€" baimed and shirmped to Toronto. Pracâ€" tically nothing was known at Timmins of Mr. Nathan, it being his first trip to the North. History has an odd way of repeating itself. This week there will be a case in police court for the operation of a still illegally. Ten years ago there was a similar case but it was another man. New times, new men, but the same old booze! The Advance ten years ago noted the successful reâ€"opening of the Caledonian Scciety for the winter season. The »vent was held in the Oddfellows‘ hall and despite very unfavourable weather there was a very large attendance. The viceâ€"president, D. Mackie, presidâ€" ed and there was a pleasant time for all. The rpl:ogramme included:â€"piano sclos, by Miss Griffin; humorous songs, by J. Cowan; brief addresses, by P. A. Macaulay; reading in "Braid Scots," by M. B. Scott; solos, by J. Twaddle, Miss McHugh, Miss Jean Roberts, Mrs. M. B. Scott, W. W. Boswoarth; musical chairs; dancing, etec. Among the acâ€" companists for the evening were Miss Griffin, J. Cowan, W. H. Wilson and Mrs. A. G. Mackay. instances of the rotten train service and its workings. On one occasion twenty pecple were left stranded all night at Porquis Junction because of the poor connections and late trains. Before the ridiculous service had been in force long there was such a howl from all the North that improvement was made. for that passengers actually had to change at Englehart. Trains Nos. 46 and 47, in other words came no farther than Englehart and connections to and from Timmins had to be made by the Porcuryne branch trains and the Naâ€" tional. The Advance pointed out that the traffic to Timmins and Iroquois Falls formed so large a part of the trade that if trains were not justified up this way then certainly there was no sense in running them as far as Engleâ€" hart. The mail service, The Advance pointed out, was even worse than the passenger service. "Your attention is beseeched, Mr. Chairman and Commisâ€" sioners," said The Advance in concluâ€" sion. "Give this part of the North Land half a square show, for the love of mud. The powersâ€"thatâ€"be have stolen even our Sundays and left us high and dry, particularly dry. If they won‘t allow us to get mail or to get out or in except occasicnally it will be too much. The Advance has confidence enough in Chairman Lee and the commissioners to believe that they will be able to work out a service for this part of the North Land that will be a real service, instead of a tantalizer." ‘The Advance gave 2t "at 24 2% . 1%, 1%, .t ®#, w 00.0.00.00000000.0.0"0.'0‘:0‘0‘.:“0‘0‘0‘.‘%‘.%‘..".”. a% ) tE 64 "b4 64 64 46 44 64 44 60 44 44 44 0408 .%, .0. .0. 10 .@_ .®@ .flO..'..'..Q.....'..O.Q0....0'.0.000.0..0’..’.00..:0’..'0.: .'. .’........... 0..’..:.

Honcurable Commissioners, Don‘t Cut This Part of the North Altogether from the Book of Remembrance," said The Advance. In the open letter The Adâ€" vance proceeded to show that the serâ€" vice on the T. N. O. was actually worse than in the bad days of the war. Under the service as given then, Timâ€" mins had only one train to Toronto and for that passengers actually had to change at Englehart. Trains Nos. 46 and 47, in other words came no farther than Englehart and connections to and over and came uy\ again at the fall asâ€" sizes at Haileybury last week. Ths purties, through their solicitors, got toâ€" gether and an arrangement was agreed upon. The court approved this agreoâ€" ment, Judge Sutherland dismissing the caise withoclut costs and ordering the moneys paid into the court by the town of Timmins to be returned. The town 6of Timmins on its part is to pay Mir. White $800.00 for the dwelling on reâ€" ceipt of release and bill of sale to the town. Gordon Gauthier apprared for Mr. White, and D. W. O‘Sullivan for the town. dn en aie ate ate ate ats ts ate 42000040000 TEN YEARS AGO IN TIMMINS From data in the Porcdplne Advance Fyles. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO strongly supported from this end of the riding. Dr. McInnis was given a very hsarty recertion by the convention, but when it was found that the majority cf the delegates favoured D. McEachran, the doctor and the other candidates withdrew in favour of Mr. McEachran. For the 192i Dominionrelection, the Liberal convention held at Englshart selected D. McEachran, of Cobalt, as their candidate. Dr. MciInnis was ons of ‘the eight others nominated, being Ten years agzgo Carl Stcchr, of the Wye, (now Ansonville), was called out of the house one evening. There were two men at the dosor who said they wished to talk to him. Instead of usâ€" ing their tongues on him, however, the men employed in knife. Stochr was stabbed abcut a dGdozon times, receivâ€" ing cne bad cut in the neck, and nine stabs in the ribs. He was given mediâ€" cal treatment and made good progres to recovery, but the police had a long search to find his assailamn‘s. | Ten years ago The Advance was deâ€" lighted at heavy rainfalls in the North, as this qtâ€"omised lots of electric power for the area. Michael Patrick White, a native of Newfcundlang@, and only in Timmins a short time, died here on Oct. 2nd, 1921, aged 21 years, death being due to the effects of fever. He had been employâ€" ed by Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis. Leo Mascioi had the contract ten years ago for filling in and levelling the grounds around the new Hollinger hospital, and The Advance noted that he made a speedy and an excellent job of the work. It was nearly ten years later (in other words, this summer of 1931) that the hospital grounds weore put in their present state of beauty, with a fine lawn, trees, shrubs and fowâ€" ers, thanks to the able and generous work of D. E. Kesley and his assisâ€" tants at this good work, business men and cthers generously donating to the work in different ways. ‘ The Advance ten years ago referred thssse men, though The Advance has no chjection to bcosting individuals, and thcough these men certainly deserve the highest praise for their enterrhise and ’skill. The purpose, however, is to "Eocost" the possibilities of the North Land as a market garden, and to counâ€" teract as far as possible the idea fayâ€" oured even in the Farmers‘ Government circles that this country is suitable only for a cattle ranch style of farming. Another purpose is to emphasize tne importance of gosd roads as a facior in the best growth of the country. Good roads would make it prssible for. the farmers to get their produce to markets in the North Land at the least possible cost of time, labour and exâ€" pense. This would benefit the ind-us-l trial centres no less than the home-l steaders." | But hide the goal! No legial act, one little whit Will save a soul! Ten years ago The Advance had a lengthy reference to the remarkable garden of Dave Carling in the Mattaâ€" gami district. Mr. Carling had wonâ€" derful beans, peas, potatoes and pracâ€" tically everything else in the vegetable line. He had ripened tomatoes successâ€" fully, which was considered a nctable feat in these days in this country. Mr. Carling had a display in the windows of the Hoellinger Stcres and this attracted a great deal of «attention and favourâ€" able comment. The Advance in conâ€" clu-dihg its reference to Mr. Carling‘s zsarden and mentioning the garden of Mr. Rowe written about the week preâ€" vicus said:â€"*"In concluding this article it may ncot be amiss to say that the obâ€" ject of The Advance in referring to inâ€" dividuals who are known to have fine gardens is not particularly to "boost". A clever and amusing pcem by a local > signing the pen name, "Il Pugâ€" gh nco," was published in The Advance ten years ago. It laughed at the atâ€" tempts to force temperance and Sunday caservance on people by law. The last vers> of the poem read :â€" O, Pharisse! O, Hypocrite! Whom Bigotry has dulled the wit! All threats and pains of nether pt Annscuncement was made ten years ago that work was to be started at once on the completion of the railway exâ€" tension north of Ccchrane, with James Bay as the ultimate desstination. The Advance pointed cut that the North would naturally be pleased with the anâ€" nouncement, but that as usual in its dealings with the North the government had blundered through lack of knowâ€" ledge.. The need for highways for the sections of the North already settled overshadowed any need for opening up new territory for development. "*Of ccurse," said The Advance, "what the North Land should really have is both works, but if only one were to be unâ€" 2ertaken that one should be the highâ€" WaAa‘y Huntingdon Gleaner:â€"A judge in Bratislava, Slovakia, has had to decide whetner a billygoat which had been sold but swallowed its purchase money should be given to the buyer. A peasâ€" ant, Marie Varga, residing in the village of Ipolynek, near Bratislava, took the goat to the market and accepted an ofâ€" fer of a 100â€"crown bill ($3) for it; but as the money was tendered the animal snatched it and gulped it down. In the circumstances the woman refused to reâ€" linquish the animal, â€" Onlookers took sides and a freeâ€"forâ€"all fight ensued, in the course of which the purchaser boxed the goatâ€"owner‘s ears. The local judge ordered that until further deâ€" velopmen‘s the goat should be left in the hands of the police. A few days later the gcat coughed up the 100â€"crown note. This was accep‘ed for payment by the local office of the Czechoslovak National Bank, whereup>on the animal was released to its new owner. The Davidson property to the northâ€" west of the Ashey holdings also is said to be opening up well. Surface explorâ€" ation has been under way for some time and latest information is to the effecs that the workmen have located the vein in place showing considerable free gold. Special effort is required in opening up these claims, due to the fact that some 40 feet of overburden has to be taken off before the vein is reached. Operaiiions at Ashley Gold Mines, cperated by Mining Corporation of Canada, continues to make interesting news, according to word from Elk Lake. It is now stated that lateral work is proceeding on the 125 and horizons @nd that a composite assay taken from the two levels returned $13 in gold to the ton, after eliminating all free gold possible. This figure comâ€" pares wicth $10.80 indicated by diamond drilling earlier in the year.
