F. M. Wallingford, who had [ held the position for some time preâ€" | viously, announced his retirement. The passed a resolution expressing | the appreciation of the members for the fine work done by Mr. Wallingford. The members of the junior hockey team of 1925â€"1926 were the guests of Kiwanis Club ten years ago at the regular dinner meeting. Although not , a winning team that year, the boys had given their best and found the townsâ€" | people as a whole supporting them well. ‘There was a rumpus that year over a game in Iroquois Falls that had reâ€" sulted in Timmins‘ withdrawal from ’ T. F. King was elected ten years ago NO OTHER CHARGES sulted in Timmins‘ withdrawai fTrom the N. O. H. A. after some very harsh words had been said at an executive meeting at New Liskeard. Chas Roach, president of the hockey club; Fire Borland and Jim Scully, coach of the juniors spoke briefly at the same meetâ€" ing. A guest of the day was Rev. Mr. Jeffrics, introduced by Rev. J. D. Parks. Mr. Jeffries had just returned from French Indoâ€"China, which he described to his listeners as a wonderâ€" ful country, well governed and popuâ€" lated with a fine people. Observing the anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, the Caledonian Society of Timmins held their sixth annual bangquet of that sort on Januâ€" ary 25th, 1926. The event was held in the Empire hotel and was one of the best up to that time. W. D. Watt ofâ€" fered a Burns grace before the dinner. The haggis, "borne aloft" by W. Shswan had been made by W. McHugh. Assistâ€" ing Mr. Watt in the position of crouâ€" picr was Jas. Cowan. The Caledonian orchestra, composed of A. Gordon, J. Lloyd, Gordon Torrance, C. E. Macâ€" Donald and Mr. Parks provided the appropriate music. Those who contriâ€" butzd to the programme included Miss Jean Roberts, Jas. Cowan, D. Mackie, Mr. Sands, Dr. J. A.

O. H. A. "practically took the stand that everybody in Timmins from the Mayor down was a liar." Greco and Couture. two of the players, had been suspended. ‘This suspension was lifted, but the Timmins team never did find out why the players had been ordered out of the game in the first place. They lost two matches through not being alâ€" lowed to have the players appear. A referee bhad ‘been attacked on Timmins ice, but who actually did the attacking was never really disclosed. There were many affidavits to show that neither Greco nor Couture had anything to do with the rumpus. Maisie Roberts, G. A. Macdonald, C. G. Williams, Master W. Shewan, Donâ€" old MacDonald, J.

She had suffered from heart trouble for some time previous to her dow‘h. Comâ€" ing to the Timmins district in 1911 with her husband, she had been a highly regarded citizen through the years and was active in many societies. She was the daughter of Rev, Dr. Samâ€" uel Rondeau, editor of L‘Aurors, Monâ€" treal. The funeral service was largely attended. Big operations were to begin near Kapuskasing in the spring of 1926, The Advance announced ten years ago this week. wer was to be developed from Smoky Is, 45 away, and beâ€" tween 2000 and 3,000 men would be given employment by the project. Timmins was becoming too popular a "home town‘"‘ ten years ago, the counâ€" cil discovered when they were presented with bills from a Toronto hospital for care of indigent patients. Several who were receiving treatment had never been heard of here, so the council asked more accurat>s information. At the same meeting of the council Mrs. J. A. Mclunis was appointed to the Library board and Messrs A. R. Harkness and W. Rinn to the High School board. C. G. Williams was appointed as the town‘s representative on the public school arbitration board. Defrauding the doctors and the hosâ€" pi‘al at Sudbury brought a six months jail term to a fur buycr and was the conclusion of a story in which the man claimed he had been frightened out of his of speech when attacked by wolves ncar Cobalt. He got free lodging at the hospital on the pretext, but docâ€" tors discovered his deception. The other free lodging wasn‘t so welcoms: as the first. The assessibility of T. N. O,. railâ€" way officia‘s‘ homes was before the councils of many North Land towns ten years ago. Some municipali‘ics had madse cfforts to tax the rosidences of railway employees and the railway was making "concessions" along that line, rather than involve the towns in litiâ€" gation. Actual railway property was still exempted. An assault case, in which an axe was supposed to have figured, was dismissed from Timmins police court ten years ago this wock. Coal oil treatment for severe freezing of hands or feet was found by The Adâ€" vance to be a recognized thing in Alasâ€" ka. There had been a suggestion of its use some time before and the newsâ€" paper asked readers to give any inforâ€" mation possible on the subject. Wm. Hass told many stories of the use of coal oil for that purpose and stated that it couldn‘t be beaten for drawing frost from frozen fingers, toes or even whole hands and feet. Ho had on occaâ€" sion used it for bathing a severely froâ€" zen nose and cheek. "Ladies‘ Night" at the Caledonian Society in Timmins ten years ago was a most successful event. Those who took part in the programme for the evening were: W. D. Watt, Mrs. A. Roberts, Mrs. H. McCulloch, Mrs, George Hale and Mis Jessie Walt. A family feud in Mountjoy townâ€" ship ten years ago led to jail sentences of six months and two months for three brothers who had entered another famâ€" ily‘s home late one night and had beaten them up, doing a considerable amount of damage, not only to the occupants but to the contents of the house as well. ‘The councils of Mconzeam and Fauâ€" quier wanted two pulpmills instead of one in the North ten years ago. At the time, there wore two tracts of timber open for tender, each containing eighâ€" teen townships. It was understood that a large firm wanted to combine the limits and build large pulp and paper plant and one large power plant. The councils had decided that it would be better to have two of each and with this in mind they had corresponded with the Timmins board of trade and The Advanc:s. They also forwarded motions to Hon. Howard Ferguson and Hon. James Lyons. A meeting of the A. S. 10. club held ten yvears ago this week took the form of the annual ski party and a short dance was held afterwards at the Oddfe!â€" lows‘ hall. Wim. Andrews, of the Bank of the Bank of Montreal staff, was leaving for Peterborough at the time and the club members gave him a real send off. Mrs. W. J. Tierney of Allumette Island to Myrtle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos Boucher of 10 Bannerman avenue. Miss Evelyn Boucher was bridesmaid, while Ed Mulcheny was best mai. Rev. A pretty wedding of early 1926 was that of Aloysius Tierney, son of Mr. and Fatim; LaForest officiated. A South Porcupine man mistook a visitor for one brother ten years ago and brought an aze down on his head. It turned out to be a second brother with whom the man had no quarrel. The injured man was taken to the Timmins hospital and his condition was regarded as critical. i The annual general meeting of the Porcupine branch of the Canadian Inâ€" stitute of Mining and Metallurgy will ‘be held in the Legion hall on Tuesday evening of next week, Feb. 4th. At this meeting the reports of the officers for the past year will be received and the officers for the ensuing term will be elected. Another item of business that should hold special interest is the fact that a formal motion will be introâ€" ‘duced at the meeting to set the date | for future annual meetings in the month of May in each year. Fire at Abitibi, seven miles east of Cochrane, was responsible for the deaths of Mrs. Henry Comel, an adoptâ€" ed son and a young daughter. The upâ€" setting of a coal oil lamp was believed to have been the cause. The father was returning from Cochrane when the fire took place. Mrs, P. Millions of the Dome was killed when she was struck by an auto ten years ago this week. She had been returning home to her husband and six children when the accident occurred. She was just 34 years of age, the only daughter of David Short, of Vienna, Ontario. How he outwitted a pack of wo‘ves was the story told by W. F. Richardson of Wawaitin ten years ago this week in a letter to The Advance. It fo!â€" lowed an epidemic of tall tales and efâ€" fectively topped them. He had been out one day when wolves picked up his trail. Leaping down onto a frozen laks, he jumped so far that the move outâ€" witted the beasts for a minute, since they trail, so hbe said, by smell. But soon they wero after him again, so he tore off his jacket, hung it over a boulâ€" der and hid tbehind the rock. The wolves leaped on the jacket with such force that they broke their necks, every one of them! Up to the end of 1925, the Porcupine camp had produced $145,000,000 worth of â€"gold, according to figures published in The Advance. Neh Faulkenham, formerly of Timâ€" mins, but living in Mathsson ten years ago, had it all over the Toronto man who continued taking his daily dip in the lake all winter, according to The Advance. Mr. Faulkenham, when makâ€" ing camp on the trail in the winter was in the habit of chopping a hole in the ice and taking his bath there, After many requests from the resi dents, a post office was opened at San dy Falls ten years ago this week. Mrs. J. S. Muskett, of Schumacher died during the week of ten years ago. She was a highly valued member of the community and although she had been ill for several months, her passing was a shock to the town. She had come to Schumacher from Cobalt in 1915. In addition to her husband, a son and daughter survived her. Rev. C. Armâ€" strong Sales and Rev. J. D. Parks conâ€" ducted the funeral services on January 27th. She had been a member of th: United Church, of the Ladies‘ Aid and the Caledonian Society of Timmins. Locals in The Advance of ten years ago included: "Mr. O. A. Daniels of Montreal was the guest in town ¢f friends last week." "Mr. Martin, Inâ€" spector of public schools, Cochrane, was a visitor in Timmins this week." . "Mr. and Mrs. S. Cohen entertained on Janâ€" uary l7th at an informal house danc: in honour of Dr. Saul H. Bernstein of Montreal. Fifteen couples were prcâ€" sent." "Innumerable friends in town and district will regret that Mr. P. J. Curnow still continues quite ill at his home here. There are very sincere good. wishes for his early recovery." "All will regret the szrious illness of Mrs. M. Greer and wish her an early and comâ€" plets recovery. Mrs. Greer who has not been in the best of health for some time past, was taken seriously ill yesterday. This morning she was much improved and it is hoped now on the way to recovery."

Cummings, 5 Maple street southâ€"a son.‘ "Mrs. D. Mitchell was hostess at a dinner party in honour of Dr. S. H. Bernstein of Montreal. Covers were laid for twelve." "So far as The Adâ€" vanze has heard no local radio fans has been able to listen in on any of the Old Country this Interâ€" national Broadcasting week, the weaâ€" ther and conditions being unfavourâ€" able.‘" "Mr. Charles Milne celebrated his 84th birthday last week at the home of his daughter, Mrs. B. W. Hartley in Haileybury. He is in good health in this young country despite his fourâ€" teen years beyond the alloted span of life." ‘"Mrs. L. Sparling, formerly Miss Edith Greer, of Detroit is spending a week or so at her home here, called home by the serious illnecss of her mother, Mrs. M. Greer. All will be pleased to know that Mrs. Greer is very greatly improved and now well on the way to recovery. Mrs Sparling will join her husband who is visiting at his old home in Ottawa, previous to their reâ€" turn to Detroit." ‘"There were ten apâ€" plications last week for the job of scavengerâ€"inâ€"chief at Sudbury." "Good progress is being made on the new hotel being built in Haileybury and it is exâ€" pected the kuilding will be completed by March." s ‘The annual general meeting of the Porcupine branch of the Mining Instiâ€" tute is to take the form this year 0i a dinner meeting. In addition to the formal business of the evening there will be an interesting and informative paper on a matter of special interest to mining men. This paper is being given by a local mining man who has particular qualifications to deal with the question he takes up.
