South Porcupine in years past had a big reputation for the sports days and other events it presented, and it is no less than fair to say that the good reâ€" putation was thoroughly deserved. The people of South Porcupiine seemed to have a special community spirit that allowed them to get together, organize and successfully compfete sports days and other events, About one big day at South Porcupine ten years ago, The Advance of August 9th, 1922, had the following to say:â€""The big day of sports at South End last Friday under the auspices of the South Porcupine Athletis Association proved bioth enâ€" the auspices of the South Porcupine Athletis Association proved both enâ€" joyable and successful.

The Government on the one hand has agreed to granting the required lease of water power rights and on the other hand the Hollinger is ready to go on with the work cof construction of plant, equipment, etc., for the development of the power. The work will be started at once and is it: sJ. E. Sullivan was elected by acclaâ€" maticn as town councillor for Timmins at the nomination held to fill the vaâ€" cancy through the resignation of T. F. King. The nomination was held on Aug. 9th, 1922, and Mr. Sullivan was the only one nominated. He had preâ€" viously served the town as councillor with efficiency and general satisfaction. Ten years ago the Timmins board of trade was coâ€"operating with the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band in securing the necessary $600.00 or $700.00 required to finance the trip of the band to comâ€" pete in the band contest in connection with the Canadian National Exhibition. Messrs L. S. Newton, Jas. Geils and G. A.

The figures given above relate, of course, only to buildings actually within the municipal limits Mattaâ€" gami (scon to be a part of Timmins, and already for practical purposes a part of the community) had had a deâ€" cided building boom this year. It is being built up now almost as solidly as the main town. Adding the new buildings erected in the adjacent townâ€" sites that are in reality a part of the community of Timmins, Timmins may safely claim a building record for 1922 of close to threeâ€"quarters of a million dollars in value." this time of value of ove The Advance ten years ago noted that not only were there placer gold claims staked in Munro township but also that there were oil claims staked in that township. The Advance comâ€" mented to the effect that oldâ€"timse prospectors made little remark about the oil claims but all were confident that Munre would be a winner in the production of gold. On Aug. 3rd, 1922, there was a strenuâ€" ous football game at Timmins, the Dome and Timmins playing a N.O.F.A. feature. Although Timmins had to play part of the game with nine men the final score was 2â€"2. Only the good goal work of Hendry, in fact, saved the Dome from defeat. One incident in the game was chronicled by The Adâ€" vance as follows:â€""At the other end Dalgarno broke up a combined attack and sent the ball to Fergy Cadman who in the attempt to head it off was acciâ€" dentally kicked or bumped in the mouth. Fergy had to retire for mediâ€" cal attention. His lip was badly split, three stitches being required to close the wound. Fergy is reported as sayâ€" ing to the doctor, "Work faster, Doc., I want to get back in the game." One of the Dome players gave Alex Cadman The first regatta put cn at the Matâ€" tagami river ten years ago by the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ band netted over $300, this amount, however, including cash donations of $158.00 and $311.50 from the sale of tags. This was the largest amount ever received from the sale of tags for the regatta, though there were larger crowds present in some other vears. a nasty kick on the ankle. Alex stopâ€" ped and promplly knocked the Dome player cold. Alex was sent out of the game for this but he had the sympathy of those watching the game, because it was evident no Scottish lad could take that kind of a kick without handing one back. Fergy got back into the game for the last 15 minutes. The work of the Cadmans, Dalgarno, Street, Andy Roberts, A. Cooper, Geo. Cooper, A. Donald, James, M. Carr and Bil Field was great stuf and delighted the hearts of the football enthusiasts. Of course, the Dome played well, but that only made the Timmins play look all the better. In the district baseball league series ten years ago Iroquois Falls took reâ€" venge on Cochrane by defeating the railroaders 10 to 5 at the Falls. The Dome Junior football team won from Timmins Juniors on the latter‘s grounds ten years ago, the score being 5 to 1. Timmins Juniors were much weakened by being shy three of their best players. shovelâ€"to his upâ€"toâ€"date equipment. This steam shovel, which is of the tracâ€" tor typ is equipped with various shovels or seoops of different kind, and so may be used for a large variety of purposes, including trenching, ditching, filling, excavating, etc. It will do the work of a large force of men. When the big machine was brought_down street from the statiom on Monday urâ€" der its own steam, and with its warnâ€" ing whistle going when necessary, it attracted much attention and promptâ€" ed four different men to say:â€""Timâ€" mins gets more like New York every cay.:" following:â€"*"In the absence of the pasâ€" tor on holiday, the services Sunday morning at the Presbyterian church were conducted by Mr. W.
