THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18TH, 1933 e esc es The annual teachers‘ convention ten years ago was held in the Central pubâ€" lic school. There were over 100 present for the event in 1923, as against over 400 a couple of weeks ago for a similar event heret This shows the developâ€" ment of the country in the past ten years. AtL THC CVCILL @50 there was a very attractive programme of addresses and literary arnd musical numbers, Ven. Archdeacon Woodall‘s address on "The Indians of Northern Ontario," was an outstanding feature among the addresses. At the evening programme open to the general public of special merit by J. T. Heffernan, Jas. Geils, Mrs. M. B. Scott, Miss MacIntosh, and others. A reading by Miss Stevenson was another specially appreciated number. An in â€" strumental quintet by J. R. Newman‘s orchestra delighted the gathering. The quintet included J. R. Newman, Burton Hcelland, Eugene Simard and Misses Dorothy Porter and Louise Johnston. After the programme a dance was given to the visitors by the Timmins young ladies. At the second day‘s session, Rev. R. 8. Cushing conducted the deâ€" votional services. The election of offiâ€" cers for the ensuing year resulted as follows:â€"Honorary president, Dr. J. B. McDougall, North Bay; president, Miss Lynch, Dome Mines; viceâ€"president, Mr. Mansell, Iroquois Falls; secretary, Miss Burns, South Porcupine; treasurer, Mr. Marlin, LP.S.; librarian, Miss Fligg, Timmins: executive committes, Miss White, Schumacher; Miss Quinlan, Timmins: Mr. Carlyle, Cochrane. Announcement in The Advance ton years ago was to the effect that the Timminsâ€"South â€"Porcupine road would be completed by the following August. It is difficult to remember that the highway between the two towns has only been in existence nine years. Of course, there were the two roads to caonnect Timmins and South End ten years ago but the condition of both roads then was just about as bad as this past summer. This time ten years ago The Advance was giving the usual free publicity to the evening vocational classes being held here in connection with the Timâ€" mins high school. The Advance helped to build the popularity of these classes and regrets that they are to be dropâ€" ped this year for they were of special value to many who wished to improve their educational status as well as to many nonâ€"Englishâ€"speaking people who wished to learn the English language and to Englishâ€"speaking men and woâ€" men who wished to speak French. Following a few drinks in a Mattaâ€" gami section dwelling ten years ago man was before Mr. Justice Kelly at Cechrane on a charge of wounding a friend with an axe. More serious charges in connection with the case were withdrawn the victim of the asâ€" sault having recovered. D. W. O‘Sulliâ€" van, counsel for the accused, made a strong plea for leniency, pointing out that his client had besn under the inâ€" fluence of liquor when the assault took place. J. M. Greer, Crown Attorney, on the other hand asked for a severe penalty as the offence he said had been deliberate and brutal. The accused was sentenced to twentyâ€"one months for using the axe on his friend. A Timmins gentleman ten years ago at the Cochrane assizes was awarded $150.00 damages in a case of what was termed malicious prosecution, the comâ€" plainant having been brought to court by another Timmins man some months before. The amount asked in damages was $2,000.00 but the jury only awarded $150.00. An editorial in The Advance ten years ago urged that the town should be given a larger share of the gold royvalty. The reasons for this were made plain. In the editorial there was also reference to municipal taxation. It was pointed out that people demandâ€" ed certain improvements and services, such as roads, walks, sewer, water serâ€" vices. It was only fair that they should be willing to pay for these in their taxes. It was concluded that one reason why taxes bore heavily on the people of the town was because the larger amount of royalty collected on gold produced in this town went to the Ontario Government that gave pracâ€" tically nothing in return, while the town had to increase expenditures to meet the growth caused by the expanâ€" vices. 1t WAS Onl should be willing to their taxes.

N. O. fruit car and stole a quantity of apples and other fruit. Stuff was carted away by the basket. Chief Greer traced the culprits. None of the boys were taken to the police station. None of them were locked up, although the parents of one of the lads was anxious that some such drastic measures should be taken. Chief Greer was not the sort of man who would be brutal to anyone, and especially not to a young boy. Inâ€" deed, it may be noted now, ten years after, that if any mistake were made with boys of this type, it was in not being severe enough. Perhaps, if the boys concerned had been given a touch of roughness after their third or fourth offence they might have been the betâ€" ter for it. However, in the case referâ€" red to the parents used their authority to teach their noys to respect property and authority and when the cases came before the Juvenile court, Magistrate Atkinson was able to let the erring boys go on parole. There was a large attendance at the fourth annual meeting of the Caledonâ€" ian Society of Timmins in the Oddfelâ€" lows hall on Oct. 12th, 1923. The reâ€" tiring president, G. A. Macdonald, gave a brief review of the Society‘s progress for the year then closing, commenting on the number of meetings well attendâ€" ed and successful and also on the fact ciated piano solos; A. J. Downle pleasâ€" ed all with his solos; refreshments were served and there was a general happy time enjoyed. that the Society was opening the new year with a credit balance. D. Mackie was elected president by acclamation for the ensuing year, the other officers, most of whom were elected by acclamaâ€" tion, being:â€"viceâ€"president, W. D. Watt; secretary, A. J. Downie; treasurâ€" er, Jas. Cowan; executive, A. Roberts, Jas. Geils, J. K. Moore, G. Murphy, P A. Macaulay, the officers for the years and the past presidents; standard bearâ€" ers, D.

Taylor took up residence in Timâ€" mins. Mention was made in The Advance ten years ago of the fact that Sergt. F, Gardner had returned to Cobalt from Old Forge, Pennsylvania. He had been at the latter place in connecticon with the arrest at South Porcupine some months before of a man named Stalloni who was wanted for the murder of three men at Old Forge. At the trial Stalloni was found guilty and sentencâ€" ed to the electric chair. The Advance ten years ago says:â€"â€" "Recently V. Woodbury‘s homing pigeons have been making some interâ€" esting and successful flights. Messages have been brought by them during the past few days from Porquis Junction, Matheson, Bourkes and Swastika. It is intended to have them fly from Coâ€" balt and North Bay respectively and then from Montreal. Mr. Wcodbury has lost a couple of birds through the evil work of hawks. The destruction of useful and interesting birds like homing pigeons by the hawks tempts one to think up methods for the exâ€" termination of the hawks in whose behalf there seems to be nothing good to say." These will be special interest now in the following paragraph from The Adâ€" vance ten years ago, the visitor interâ€" viewed now being Minister of Labour, Minister of Mines and Minister of Imâ€" migration and Colonization, in the R. B. Bennett Cabinet, and known as an outstanding statesman of the day. The paragraph from The Advance of Oct. 17th, 1923, reads as follows:â€"*"Among the visitors to Timmins last week was W. A. Gordon, barrister and solicitor, of Haileybury. Mr. Gordon, who visits the camp several times a year, menâ€" tioned that on each visit he is impressâ€" ed with the continued and phenomenal growth and advancement of Timmins. He is enthusiastic in regard to the deâ€" velopment of this gold camp and the progress and substantial prosperity of Timmins. For his own town of Haileyâ€" bury Mr. Gordon, however, has still greater enthusiasm and optimism. He is positive that a bigger and better Haileybury is rising on the site of the town destroyed by fire last year. He looks for Haileybury to become the reâ€" sidential town for a wide district, and in view of the advantages of location and the spirit of the people of the town he is certain that Haileybury‘s future will be pleasing and noteworthy." Among the local and personai notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""His many friends will reâ€" gret to know that Constable W. Parchâ€" ote ateateste afe atectectonts or is ill at present with typhoid fever. The attack, however, is not a severe one and he is making good progress to recovery." "Mrs. H. Patrick is spendâ€" inz a few weeks in Toronto, being callâ€" ed to the city owing to the illness of her sister, who, however, is now makâ€" ing satisfactory progress to recovery."‘ "Their many friends in the town and district will regret the expected removyâ€" al of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Aspect from town. Mr. Aspect has sold his property on Sixth avenue and has taken a posiâ€" tion as representative for the Swilt Canadian Co., with headquarters at Cochrane, to which town they expect to move next week." "Innumerable friends will regret to learn that Frank Carlin is laid up with an injury to his back, sustained while at work at the Vipond Mine on Monday." ‘"Mrs. Mofâ€" fat is moving the Cairns hospital this week to the larger promises at the corâ€" ner of Fifth avenue and Spruce street." "A couple of boys sneaked a riflie from the window of a local store, but were soon traced and caught by the police.' The rifle was found higlden in the bush | near town. These were the simple, facts on which was based the story that a couple of local lads had staged a bold daylight robbery here." “Schu-l macher‘s new residence for teachers iS| under onstruction." "H. â€"A.~ Procter left on Sunday on a business trip to New York." ‘"The partridge season cpened on Monday, Oct. 5th, 1923. It will close on Nov. 15th." "Capt. Corn-i thwaite, of the local Salvation Army,| was in Toronto last week attending the annual council of the Army." "BQrnâ€"â€" In Timmins, on Tuesday, Oct. 16th, 1923, to Mr. and Mrs. H.

"Born â€"In Timmins, on Tuesday, Oct. 9th, 1923, to Mr. and Mrs. Parsons, Elml streetâ€"a son.‘" ‘"Bert Wilson, of the post office staff, is spending a vacationl in Montreal and other points south and | east." "Bornâ€"In Timmins, on Tuesâ€"| day, Oct. 2nd, 1923, to Mr. and Mrs. George Harrower, Wilson avenue,â€"2 "A. E. Riddle returned on Monday from a visit spent in Southern Ontario." "Mr. and wmirs. J. J. Tumef.' of Peterborough, Ont., were visitors last week to Timmins and were delightedl with the progress, prosperity and de-i velopment noted in ‘this part of the North Land. Mr. and Mrs. Turner were on a trip to the West, leaving here last week to proceed on their way to the coast." T. H. Young, of@_St James‘ Anglican church, Cobalt, is credited with establishing a record proâ€" duction in the North Land. He plantâ€" ed one bag of potatoes in his garden| near the pumphouse at Sasaginaga Lake, and from this patch he has har-l vested 26 bags. The soil is loamy. Thel variety of notato planted was the Green Mountain." "Not a single pant‘s butâ€" ton was dropped in the collection plate at the band concert on Sunday night but one fellow did put in a sort of coin that at a hasty glance might pass for a quarter but in reality was only an aluminum token good for 5¢ in goods." "T‘A. McDonald, employment superâ€" visor of the Abitibi Power Paper Co., and Alex Dewar, editor of The Broks Hustler, Iroquois Falls, were among the visitors to Timmins last week." "John King, of Kingston, Ont., is spending a few days with his brother, T. F. King."| "Bornâ€"In Haileybury. cn Friday, Oct. 5th, 1923, to Mr. and Mrs. Bailey Harâ€" rison, Browning street,â€"a@a daughter." "A party of the shareholders and direcâ€" tors of the Night Hawk Peninsular Mine are on a visit to the property and are finding much of interest and pleasâ€" ure in the visit to this promising mine, which has reached an advanced stage of Gevelopment in â€"a comparatively short time and gives every indication of proving an unusually valuable properâ€" ty." "Mrs. Whorley, of Haileybury, was a visitor to Timmins last week. For years past Mr. and Mrs. Whorley have conducted a successful florist business at Haileybury and have been well and widely known through the North fc= their fine stock and service. It is unâ€" derstood that they may establish a similar business in Timmins where there would seem to be an unusually wide and promising field for a business of this kind." ‘"The supposed counterâ€" feit quarter in circulation in Cobalt, according to later reports is said to be a perfectly good quarter. It certainly is hard luck if they don‘t know a perâ€" fectly good silver coin in Cobalt, eh? Inspector Moore, after testing the coin thought to be "phony," pronounced it all genuine. However, it is still well to watch your quarters. If you get ernough of them sooner or later you will get a bad one." In this part of the North there has been a lot of complaint about the apâ€" parent scarcity of partridge this year. This is openly blamed by most hunters on the fact that for weeks before the open season the birds were being shot by some. Around Haileybury, however, there is said to be lots of partriame. The Haileyburian last week said thai hunters there were having good luck, many securing the bag limit of five with no trouble at all. in spite of the wet many securing thne Dbag Oi 11 no trouble at all, in spite of t holiday. It may be that the bury hunters observed the close and so when the open season they had sgsome game to shoot at it shows that the Haileybury pec ed the right kind of good spor ship and observance of the law deserve all the good luck th:s come io them. it is to that a rew poor sports C thing for those who ob and regulations, as seem. up in this section of th MAYBE THE HAILEYBURY HUNTERS KEPT CLOSE SEASON Barrie Examiner:â€"Tho Toronto polâ€" ice commission is to be congratulated on resisting the clamour of certain eleâ€" ments that Chief Draper be dismissed.
