A high honour was paid to F. K. Bbâ€" bitt, of Iroquois Falls, ten years ago, when he was given the 33rd degree in Masonry by the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite in Toronto. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "The case against Fred Dingwall, of North Bay, on a charge of criminal negligence arising from the automobile accident near Timmins on August 6th, The Hallowe‘en party given by the Caledonian Society was a remarkably enjoyable event ten years ago. Among the prizec winners for costumes, etc., were:â€"Jas. Twaddle, Miss May Moore, Stewart Dewar, Jas. Cowan, Mrs. D. Mackie, Bert Wilson, J. K. Moore, W. Forrester, Miss Nellie Studor, Master H. Hatton and Miss Helen Chisholm. President D. Macki‘e was in the chair. T. 8. Clark, of Toronto, was the judge. Miss Helen Chisholm‘s dancing was the big event of the evening. There were solos by Miss Jean Roberts, Mrs. J. K. Mocore, and others. A. P. Doolsy, previously of the Holâ€" linger Stores, the J. R. Gordon busiâ€" ness, and other grocery and meat conâ€" cerns, ten years ago opened a meat and grocery business on the River road in the Mattagami section. The Advance referred at the time to the fact that Mr. Dooley was one of the early rteâ€" sidents of the Porcupine, a capable business man and 4 gocod citizen, and that ha should make a success of the new store. A very attractive Hallowe‘en dancs was given ten years ago in the Masonic hall under the auspices of the Girls‘ Auxiliary of St. Matthew‘s church, Timmins. Considerable space was given in The Advance ten yvears ago to the visit to Timmins and Scuth Porcupine of Hon. James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests. He inspected the roads of the district and conferred with leading men of the district with a view to posting himself on the work of his department. The Advance referred to him as provâ€" ing to be a real friend of the settler. Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agriculture in the Ontario Cabinet, visited .the North Land ten years ago, stopping at New Liskeard, Matheson and Cochrane. He did not come to Timmins on the occasion, considering Timmins not an agricultural centre. A. Urvala was killed and a fellow countryman slightly injured in an acâ€" cident at the Hollinger ten years ago. Ten years ago The Advance noted the organization of a new diamond drilling concern in the campâ€"the Cuthbertson Diamond Drill Exploraâ€" tion Co. The head of the firm, J. Cuthbertson, had been with the Dome for some years and for over 25 years had been connected with the diamond drill business. A band concert given teon years ago in the New Empire theatre was an unusually good one. In addition to selections by the band under the leadâ€" ership of F. J. Wolino, there were solos of special merit by Miss Jean Roberts, W. R. Dodge, and: Jas. Gells, as well as selections by the Timmins Male Chorus under the leadership of R. R. Johnston. D. St. Onge, one of the oldâ€"time reâ€" sidents of Timmins, was in St. Elle, qQuebec, ten years azo, with a view to th2 development of coal and oil posâ€" sibilities on a property he owned there. MMINS NEW METHOPD For the first time in its history Timâ€" mins had its municipal elections a month earlier than usual in 1923 Nominations were set for the last Monâ€" day in November and elections, if necessary, for the first Monday in Deâ€" cember. On, Monday evening, Oct. 29th, 1923, C. Gorst Grand Organizer for the Grand Orange Lodge of British Ameriâ€" ca, visited the Porcupine on organizaâ€" tion work. He planned to return to the camp again in a couple of weeks. 5* Cfibepgea( Cc FINE LAUNDERING â€"AT. TIMMINS NEW METHOD LAUNDORY your Snow Ten years ago The Advance made the announcement that the Hollinger Conâ€" solidated CGold Mines had donated an scholarship of $1200.00 annually to the University of Toronto for research work by the university graduates under Prof. Haultain in the Dept. of Mining and Engineering. s When dress shirts and fine linens cost as much as they do toâ€"day, they should be carefully launâ€" dered. Here you‘ll find the â€" peakâ€" ofâ€"perfection in both fine laundering and fine service. PH LAUNORY 57 CEDAR ST NORTH tte Laundry Some of the papers in the South feaâ€" ture stories of settlers who leave the North to return to whzare they think conditions are softer. This is a story of a family of settlers who stayed in the North, but the family cat walked 600 miles from the North just to be able to prove the truth of the old proâ€" verb that "the cat came back." The family in question came from Niagara Falls district, from Stamford township, to be correct. They settled on a homeâ€" stead in the North, and are reported as doing well. But it was not long before they missed the old cat. First they concluded that some of the wild animals of the North had used the cat on their menu. Then they feared that perhaps the psor pussy had been lost in some of the Northern wild spots to| be found in soms of the Southcrn newspapers. Later, howevor, it was found that the cat had simply walked C itc 2 c h t L t t c‘ sent road from Huntsvnle to Dwight. It will touch park headquarters at Cache Lake, one explanation says, and then proceed easterly to connect with the existing road system at or near Whitney. By this new motor road acâ€" cess will be given to the park by road for the hotels, clubs, boys‘ and girls‘ camps and summer cottages, etc., which are clustered very largely in the vicinity of the park headquarters. Permits will be required from all motorists enâ€" tering the park, it is said, and the road will ba properly policed and controlled to prevent illegal fishing and poaching. There will also be every effort made to avert danger from campers‘ fires. The fact that the railway service to the | park is to be discontinued made a road Inecessary if the park was to continue in any large measure of popular use.

C. H. A. Powlett, barrister, Calgary, Alberta, and his son, Armand, a former student at the University of Alberta, were granted $56,860 damages at Edâ€" monton from the university for injuries sustained by the son in an inititation ceremony at the college. The judge found that the university was to blame because it knew the university students carried on these initiations and proper supervision was not exercised over them. Armand Powlett went through one of these initiation ceremonies and was so badly injured and disarranged that he has had to be confined in an institute for the mentally unbalanced since then.

The Timmins fire brigade did fine work ten years ago at a fire at the reâ€" sidence of Mr. Walker, 15 Main avenue. According to an announcement made last week by Hon. W. Finlayson the problem of access to Algonquin Park has been solved without interfering in any serious way with the park as a game sanctuary and national park of the province. This double end has| been secured by having the highway merely penetrate and cross the south-, ern limit of the park. The new motor road giving access to the Algonquinl Park will be a continuation of the pre-( sent road from Huntsville to Dwight. It will touch park headquarters at Cache Lake, one explanation says, and then proceed easterly to connect with the existing road system at or near Whitney. By this new motor road acâ€" cess will be given to the park by road for the hotels, clubs, boys‘ and girls‘ camps and summer cottages, etc., which are clustered very largely in the vicinity of the park headquarters.

Also, it was claime 1 that the roamt would not really disturb or injure the nark, but quite the conâ€" trary. It would appear that the locaâ€" tion of the highway has overcome all reasonable objections to a road through the park and that tie new motor road will be an asset to the oark, while in no ways lessening the atiractions of the Algonquin Reserve. "On one occasion I was five miles out from shore," said Mr. Sutherland, "and could touch mud with every dip of my paddle. Why I saw several Inâ€" dians walking over these flats, two and three miles out, on their way up to the Eastmain river country. Close in shore, the mud is impassable. _ But out some distance the waves have beaten the mud into a good surface. The Indians travel on this. Of course, when the tide comes in, they have to "beat it" for shore. That‘s when they come to huntâ€" ers, looking for a lift in canoe or kicker boatâ€"the hitchâ€"hikers of the north. That‘s when they sometimes steal your game, as they stole ours. The first morning, after we had camped in Hanâ€" nah Bay, I woke up to see an Indian walking straight into our location. The water was then up around his shoe tops, and he seemed to be striding straight in froimm the sea. It gave me an cdd feeling." Algonquin Park to Have Highway Facilitiecs Now In referring to the incident in huâ€" morous way the Deputy Minister of Mines told Toronta newspapers last wesk that it all goes to show that it‘s a small, small world. But the worldâ€" the James Bay coastal plain section of it, at least which the big mines official saw on his shooting tripâ€"is no small, small affair. When the tide‘s out, he states, there are hundreds of square miles of flats that provide ideal feed and ideal protection for tens of thouâ€" sands of geese and ducks that "hang out" therein. Reference is made elsewhere in this issue to Thos F. Sutherland, Deputy Minister of Mines for Ontario, thinkâ€" ing he had found the two fellows who had appropriated some ducks and geese The voters lists are now posted up for the town {for the year and it is the duty and privilege of all voters to see that their names are on the list, Apâ€" peals to have names added may be made up to Nov. 9th. Every year there are a few who discover on polling day that their names are not on the list of voters and that they are consequently deprived of a vote. There is usually' very bitter objection taken to this| cmission of any name. The whole thing could easily bse avoided if each and every voter saw to it at the proper| time that his or her name was on the] list. Now is the time to make com-' plaint to the clerk that your name has| been omitted. Lists may be found at| the clerk‘s office, the post office, etc. This year there arse double as many polling places as last year so your name may be in a different polling subâ€"divisâ€" ion than last year.
