Annual Bazaar, Nov. 26th at United Church Hall . _The death of Capt. J. E. McAllister at Florida on Nov. l1th, 1922, was chronicled ‘by The Advance ten years ago. "Friends in the camp," said The Advance, "were greatly saddened this week by the news received of the death of J. E. McAllister at Daytonia Beach, Florida, on Saturday. The late Mr. McAllister was a resident of this camp for ten years and was held in the highâ€" At the meeting of Timmins town council ten years ago J. D. MacLean was appointed sanitary inspector in succession to E. A. Roy. Authority was given for the purchase of the necessary desks and other equipment for the office the chief of police, the offic» having been moved into the quarters downâ€" stairs previously occupled by the town clerk whose offices had been moved uypâ€" stairs after the alterations in the town building. The town engineer reported on the figures given by outside firms for a padded cell for the jail ‘here. The figures were considered as altogether too high and it was decided to have the cell built by local men. Mr. Nelson was to be asked to give a figure on the work. The salary of the town scavenâ€" ger was reduced to $550.00 r/ir month as there was less work under the reâ€" version to the o‘d plan of collections, once a week in the business area and twice a month in the residential area. There was a general discussion of the cemetery and the sale of lots there. A largely signed petition was received from the residents of Gauthier and Moneta townsites asking for annexation to the town. The petition was referred to the town solicitor for further action, the council being in favour of the anâ€" nexation. "If Rochester townsite would do the same thing we could clear up the whole matter at the one time," said Dr. MciIinnis, the mayor. veleate ts n i ty dn d dep in d e ez y se ie se in e dn en n s t d a uds s ind e ns ie e i sfi _ Thic members of the Standard M TEN YELEARS AGO IN TIMMINS From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles Redtnataataatasts iteatuats ite ats THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO ' One of the police court cases ten years ago was that of a woman fined $50.00 and costs for illgally purchasing liquor. Ten years ago The Advance had reâ€" | ference again to what was termed ‘"Mac lLang's beavers." A couple of winters | previously Major Lang had prophesied what the season was to be like and by | string the people had forgotten whether he was right or not and so he got credit for hitting it exactly. The genial Mac Lang had based his prophecy on the actions of the beavers, and this was reâ€" ferred to in 1922 again because accordâ€" ing to folk lore the beavers were foreâ€" telling a mild winter because they were not hurrying the building of their houses. f est regard and es known here and n holding him in t a man and a citiz wife and family In The Advance of Nov. 15th, 1922, there was earnest warning given to loâ€" cal pople not to part with shares of the leading mines to transient peddlers tryâ€" ing to buy same. The Advance pointâ€" ed out that several in the North had been defrauded by selling good stock at much below its real value, on the false representations of these travelling gentlemen. "The, mining companies have made it absolutely clear that they have no connection, direct or indirect, with the unauthorized call for the transfer of shares," said The Advance. The Advance urged all approached to get in touch with the police or the mines as soon as any stranger tried to buy any of the stocks of the establishâ€" The Advance ten years ago had the following story said to have actually occurred in connéction with a newlyâ€" married couple at South Porcupine. At any event a South End Irishman told The Advance the story as gospel truth. The bride asked hubby to send up some steak for dinner. Hubby did not forget The steak was duly cooked and on the table for dinner on the groom‘s return. The husband looked kindly at the steak, but honestly it did look a little dry. "Say, dear," he said at last, "where‘s the gravy?" "Oh, the butcher didn‘t send any," responded the bride. post hospitals in this part of the North, i one at Haileybury and the other at| Englehart. Red Cross nurses were to be in charge at these new hospitals. To assist in financing the work the Red Cross had appealed for financial assistâ€" ance through the schools of the North,| and this appeal was heartily endorsed by The Advance. | Special mention was made in Thei Advance of Nov. 15th, 1922, of a band concert given the previous Sunday in the New Empire theatre. The playing of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band, under the leadership of F. J. Wolno, was very pleasing indeed. Voczal solos by Mr. Roach and cornet duets by Messrs Wolâ€" no and Brown featured the evening. G. A. Macdonald occupied the chair for the evening. Several motion picâ€" ture fillms were shown as part of the evening‘s programme. A radio supply store, the first of its kind in the North, opened at Timmins on Nov. 15th, 1922. T. F. King was the owner, and the business was in charge of M. J. Cavaney, the pioneer of_ radio in this part of the North. | Ten years ago The Advance noted the good work done by the Red Cross in connection with relief work after the disastrous ‘fire at Haileybury in Oct. 1922. The Advance also noted that the Red Cross was establishing two Outâ€"| The special feature of the regular meeting of the Caledonian Scsciety of Timmins ten years ago was very clever and thoughtful paper on Robert Burns the poet, by A. J. Downie. Mr. Downie dealt with the life and work of Burns from an ‘original standpoint. In the discussion after the paper a special point was made of the fact that though Burns was often discontented with men and conditions he always held the closest loyalty to King and Country. T. S. Clark, of Toronto, fayâ€" oured the gathering with a poem of his own composition.. A reading by J. K. Moore, songs by Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. McCulloch, and Mrs. J. K. Moore ccmpleted the very attractive and inâ€" teresting programme. Dancing was alâ€" so enjoyed during the evening. Ten years ago the settlers in the Connaught district organized an assoâ€" cxatton the asssciation including Drinkâ€" water Pit, Connaught and Barber‘s Bay. Martin Downey was elected president, F. Qulette viceâ€"president, and H. Wheeâ€" ler secretaryâ€"treasurer. The objects of the association were to secure coâ€"operaâ€" tion and mutual help in the problems before ‘the settlers. He will be much missed here. At the time of death the late Capt.~ McAllister was about 64 years of age. He was al native of the United States, coming here from Colorado where he was enâ€" gaged in mining work. He came to the MciIntyre in October, 1912, and from | then until the time of his last illness he was mine captain at the McIntyre and was held by the men ana tne manageâ€" ment alike as cne of the most valuable | men on the staff of the mine. He had been in poor health for some time past and some months ago he found it necessary to go south for this reason.

"Miss Eleanor Warren of Hamilton, who has been visiting her brother, H. W. Warren, for the past couple of months, returned toâ€"day to her home in the South." "Bornâ€"At the Cairns hospital, Timmins, on Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘"The Sault Ste. Marie hockey club has asked for the transfer of Gordon Spence the New Liskeard and Haileybury hockey player. He proved himself a good defence player with Liskeard some years ago and may stage a come back in the faster comâ€" pany at the Sault." "The many friends of Capt.

"Mr. and Mrs. Stan Pearce returned to South Porâ€" cupiine on Sunday and are being warnâ€" ly welcomed there by their hosts of friends, both trese young people being very popular in South End.

Brennan left on Monday for Toronto for the winter." > "Mrs. Jack Brownlee left on Tuesday for Toronto after a visit here at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hardy." Ten years ago The Advance noted the visit to town of a gentleman now considerably in the limelight in conâ€" nection with his recent attacks on the Sun Life Assurance Co. J. J. Harpell, of Gardenvale, Que., is the gentleman in question and he was in Timmins in connection with educational courses planned for miners and prospectors. Ten years ago there was an agitation of more or less force to have TIroquois Falls placed on the main line of the T. N. O. Railway by diverting the line south and north of Porquois Juncâ€" tion, so that the railway would pass through Iroquois Falls, The T. N. O. Railway commission investigated the matter and found it would cost $250,000 to make the change. On Thanksgiving Day, Monday, Nov. 6th, 1922, the fiftyâ€"first anniversary of the wedding of the bride‘s parents, Miss Catherine Boyle, youngest daughâ€" ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robt.

Following the ceremony there was a reception at the home of the bride‘s parents, the happy couple later leaving for their new home in the West. The members of the Standard Minâ€" ing Exchange visiting the Porcupine camp ten years ago expressed the idea that the pwogress and development of the camp was a regular revelation to them. Considerable space was given by The Advance ten years ago to a review of the progress at No. 1 Group of the Goldale, as outlined by the president of the company, J. Y. Murdock.

Since then, however, their voices have returned and they are able to show that Cornishmen are still leaders in chorus work. The explanation of the temporary loss of the singing voices lies no doubt in the effect of the change of climate, and this theory seems to be supported by the fact that as ston as the men had opportunity to become acclimatized their voices returned as good as ever."
