Twonty years ago che town of Timâ€" mins enjoved, or suffered from, onée of he few municipal election contests in its history up to that time. There had becn meetings of ratopayers before the event, the Ratepayers‘ Associaiion havyâ€" ing tak>n an accive and useful part, though the influenza epidemic had been a preat handicap to plans for a thorâ€" ough discussion of municipal affairs at public ‘mestings for the purpose. At a mceting held by the Ratepayers‘ Asâ€" sociation a number of the canadidates discusssd municipal matters and whe mayor for 1918, Mr. J. P. McLatughâ€" lin, took occasion to proteéest against articles in The Industrial: Banner, of Tcronto. These articles, ho held, were very unfair and unjust.. They suggestâ€" cd that the Hollinger impased on the town and chs> councillors wore all CTâ€"19 "tools" of the Mine. The mayor pointâ€" ed out that this was absolutely incorâ€" rect. Inst>ad, the Hollinger had been very generous in its assistance to the town and was of great bonefiu in overy way o Timmins. In addition, Mayor McLaughlin made it very plain that the MHollinger had interferred in no way with any of the councillors all of whom had shown they were free agents and not figureheads. Thers was also considerab}> discussion of the methods empioyed by the tax colleccor, W. S. Macpherson, at that time being the mtst popular man in town. except Banta Claus, maybe. The election itâ€" self, as reported in The Advance of Jan. 8th, 1919, reflected most fully the opinâ€" ion of the ratepayors. The vote was the largest evor cast up to that time at a municipal clection, over 250 cast=â€" ing their ballots. Saome only voted for one or twoa councillors. There were two or three ballots marked only for Chas. Pierce and J. M. Studor also had scme of whose "plumpers." Dr. J. A. McInnis was elected mayor with 139 vot?s, as against 114 for Dr. Mooreé, a majority of 25. L. S. New:on headed the poll for councillors with 143 votes; John W. FPogg received 118 votes; A.

Ellis; presicent, Miss Brown; viceâ€"preâ€" sident, Miss Marion Jemmett; secreâ€" tary, Miss Dorothy treasurer, Miss Joyner; corresponding secretary, Miss Irene Carswell. "The general feeling of the young ladies," said The Advance in its report of the annuAl meeting, "was that the organization should be continued, as there is still much patriotic and other helpf{ul work io be done. So long as there are any soldiers overseas, there will be work for the DY:B., and also «here is a wide field and useful ons in the relief work and the work for refugees." The D.Y.B. ("D» Your Bit") all through the war, and for a time after the war, did a simply wonderful work along patriotic lines. ‘The Advance twenty years ago pointâ€" ed out tha, from Ssptember :o the Christmas season of 1918 there were only eightzsen days of regular school at the public school here that term.

The dogs "are young and strong and well trained, and such a team will command a high figure in this part of the world. This dog team won second place in last year‘s big dog team race, making the fourteen mile course in 1 hour, 47 minutes and 29 seconds." On Jan. 4th, 1919, Gastan Tasana. a Finlander living in Timmins, and working in the bush for one of M. Boiâ€" vin‘s jobbers, was killed by a falling tree.

The stores had agreed to close each evenâ€" ing, except Saturdays and nights beâ€" fore nolidays, at 6 p.m. instead of 7 as previously.
