be as pleased with these notes as The Avance is to receive them:â€" Moose Factory, June 30th, 1932 ~»ear Advanceâ€"On Saturday mornâ€" ing last your correspondent stepped cff the train at Moosonee, refreshed by a confortable night in lower seven and cleanâ€"up in the washroom of a stanâ€" dard C.P.R. sleeper. Enquiries for a place to breakfast brought the informâ€" tion that if we would walk down the newlyâ€"ballasted track for a few car engths past the station we would find a box car with steps. This we did and with us went the other passengers to the number of fifteen or more. We were told to distribute ourselves around the leng table in the centre of the car, and soon the cook had spread tho necessary utensile for each and had cornflakes and milk on the move. This was followed by two large platters of bacon and eggs and plates of toast. One could have tea or coffee and pass hack for any of the above to his heart‘s All for forty cents. Breakâ€" fast over we walked the halfâ€"mile of new sidewalk to the river where a sozen huildings of the Revillon Freres tradling poest have stood guard for many Townsite Taking Shape. great many acres have been clearâ€" ed. streets graded and drained, and mamed. A few small buildings for temâ€" purary stores have been already erectâ€" ed and have opened up business. . So this is Moosonee! it is quite probable that many people beleve that Moose Factory has changâ€" «i its name to Moosonee. . This is not the case. Moosonee is the terminal of the T. N. O. Railway ard the site of the Revillon Freres buildings, while Mease Factory is on Moose Island, some three miles distant by water, and is the propery of the Hudson Bay Comâ€" pany, which has no intention of changâ€" ing a name so linked with the past generations of traders. The Hudson Bay freighter shipped out at high tide and in half an hour we were at their dock on the Island, admiring the large white buildings which stand as sentineis in the forest solitude. Our destination was the Inâ€" dian Mission school, so we immediately repaired to its open door where we intended to introduce ourselves to a Mr Blackburn, principal, and missionâ€" ary in charge. This was scarcely neâ€" cessary as we each recognized in the other a comrade in arms of the late war, but, curiously enough, neither of us remembered the other‘s name. Ne«lless to say, our reception was a most delightful one, and during the five days of my stay with Mr. Blackâ€" burn and his staff at the Indian Resiâ€" dential school on Moose Island I saw amd heard so many interesting things that I am moved to reach for my pencil and make notes of them for the folks During Heavy Work or Exercise the Eight Pints Pass Through the Heart in 12 Seconds Eight Pints of Blood Passes Through the Heart‘ "‘aafi’n n Every Minute Interesting Notes on Moose Factory and Its Former Days 8 Â¥%* Fownsite of Moosonee Taking Form in 1932.

Thus we see an oldâ€"fashioned family of nine, whose 'births ranged over a period of twentyâ€" !seven years. The next family noted is that of one Thomas Richards, whose family were born at Albany Factory and at Moose Factory, the youngest in 1805. Family Tree of Joe Moore, Timmins The second page of the record book contains a family history of more inâ€" terest to people in Timmins, being that of one, George Moore. George Moore declares that he has the following children:â€"George Moore, born at New Brunswick the 13th of June, 1796, christened at the 27th Januâ€" ary, 1805, now resident at this Factory. Other members of the family are noted in manner to that of John Thomas. I was told by the recentlyâ€" pensioned â€" village blacksmith, â€" Tom that the above George Moore was a brother of his grandfather, our respected townsman, Joe Moore, being the elder brother of Tom Moore, erstâ€" while blacksmith at Moose Factory. ried to Thomas Factory.

He was William Holley, whose ordinary cccupation has to do with the cutting of hair and the shavyâ€" ing of chins, and he had bet Roly Niâ€" cholas, who follows the same vocation, that one Schmeling would prove the victor over one Sharkey in boxing contest. Mr. Schmeling did not win; neither did Mr. Holley. So, in fulfilâ€" ment of the bargain he made, Mr. Holâ€" ley loaded his brother barber in wheelâ€"barrow, donned the articles of attire aforementioned, .and traversed the distance from The Weekly Post of â€" fice on Lang street to the municipal hosrital. He made it safely, if a little uncertain in his control of the snowâ€" shoes, but it is a matter of record that he faltered sufficiently at one stage to dump his load somewhat uncereâ€" moniously on to the rather hard surâ€" face of Silver street." therefore prolonging life and keeping in the pink of good health, being free of Rheumatism, muigestion and that tired run down feeling is to take the New Indian Herb Tonic "Never Die."

This morning a peddler called at East Ward homes and boldly got inside the door by announcing he was an ‘"inspector‘", He insisted on seeing the vacuum cleaner which he saic required cleaning and had to have new brushes etc. When confronted unexpectedly ‘by a local merchant who happened along, he admitted he was only an inspector "for himself". And quickly accepted an invitation to "get out." The police was summoned but before Chief Archie Mcir could get to the scene in a car, the "insprctor‘" had has been tried at St. Mary‘s, Ontario. As most gcod things come to Timmins as soon as to the South, or nearly so, and all bad things sooner or later drift up this way, the paragraph from the St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus is given herewith :â€" There are a number of schemes used by the highâ€"pressure peddler to secure a hearing and to waste the time and get the money of the housewives and others. One of the schemes is that of posing as an inspector for vacumn cleaners. The impression is skilfully left that the "inspector"‘ comes from the Government or other authority and that all vacunm cleaners are to be inspected. The scheme goes over because there are firms selling vacunm cleaners that give their customers a regular service that is very valuable. The housewife, who has one of these vacunm cleaners, is not surprised when an ‘‘inspector" calls. She may be surâ€" prised, however, when he condemns her vacunm cleaner and suggests the purchase of some other make. This form of highâ€"pressure â€" salesmanship has been tried at St. Mary‘s, Ontario. As most gcod things come to Timmins as soon as to the South, or nearly so.
