There are spaces on the banner for only five names, but counting th> present year, three of the names are filled in, Timmins having two of the spaces. When all the spaces are filled the team having its name apâ€" pear the most times as winnér of the banner takes the trophy permanently. If Timmins Wins the banner one more year it thus comes permanently to this idea that the banner would look well in the hall here and for this and other reasons fully intended that it will find a permanent home in Timmins." To this item of twenty years ago, The Adâ€" Vance would add that the banner has found its permanent home in the Timâ€" mins fire hall along with a whole big case full of other trophiss. Timmins had its name oftener on that first banâ€" ner than any other brigade though Vance would add that it Danner nas found its permanent home in the Timâ€" mins fire hall along with a whole big case full of other trophiss. Timmins had its name oftcgner on that first banâ€" ner than any other brigade though winning it only twice. No other briâ€" gade won it more than once in the five years. The following are the winâ€" ners of that first banner:â€"Timmins, at Cobalt, 1917; New Liskeard, at Timâ€" mins, 1918, Timmins not being a comâ€" petitor, but only making a trial run,, as the rate was here; Timmins, at New Liskeard, 1919;: Haileybury, at Cochâ€" rane, 1920; Cochrane at Timmins, 1921. In the Advance of July 9th, 1919, reâ€" ference was made to the expected visit to Timmins of the Prince of Wales. The Advance said in part:â€"â€" "Dr. McInnis, mayor of Timmins, reâ€" eeived word this week of the expected visit to Timmins and the Porcupine Camp of His Royal Hishness the Prince of Walks. The exact date has not yet been set but will likely be known by the end of the week. Dr. McInnis is going to North Bay this week in connection with the expected royal visit and defâ€" inite arrangements will likely be comâ€" pleted during the Mayors visit to the Bay. The prince is to make a tour of Canacda and on his way to the west will visit Timmins and the Porcupine. It is expected now that he will be here some time during the month of August, and it is intended to give the royal visitor a royal good time when in Timâ€" mins." R The first meeting of the conference called to consider the high cost of livâ€" ing and to seek the causes and then find the remedies for the problem was held in the council chambers at Timâ€" mins on July 2 nd, 1919.

Smith was elected chairman of the conâ€" Terenc?. and H. W. Hooker secretary. | The resolution passed by G. W. V. A. ‘ (reproduced in "Twenty Years Ago in \ Timmins" recently) was read to explain the purpose of the conference. This resolution referred to the prevailing industrial unrest, giving the chief cause of the discontent of the people as the the merchants, the mine owners and other to coâ€"opearate with the G.W.VA. in seeking to solve the problem. In opening the meetinzx Chairman Smith said:â€"‘‘The time has come for action, direct and prompt. Delay, and yet more delay, has been almost the sole cause of unrest and discontent among pcople. We believe a remedy dealing with such a vital question as the price on foodstuffs and ‘the necessities of life will greatly relieve the present unâ€" rest.

Devaney pointed out that the conference should seek to learn if there were overcharge by local merchants. He quoted prices here and at Troquois Falls to indicate how comparisons might be made. Dr. McInnis said he had an cpen mind on the question of profits by local merchants. It was up to the ecnference <to gather data to show whether local profits were exorbitant and to seek remedies for the high cost of living. Councillor Muskett showed the> success of coâ€"operative stores in Great Britain and suggested use of the idea here. Mr. P. Dougall showed that the commercial traveller gave a very useful service in the economy or trade and really assisted in keeping costs merchants individually would have to travel. to the various larger centres to do their purchasing, so the total exâ€" penditures would be much greater than at present. Mr. Laux thought a "grievâ€" ance committee" to whom complaints about prices and quality might be made would be of much help. He also referâ€" red to the fact that the Dome Minés store had recently made voluntary reâ€" ductions in prices, the Dome putting up for the losses so entailed. Geo,. N.

Mr. Brighaimmn expressed his sympathy with the purpose of the meetâ€" ing and offered full coâ€"opzration in the work of the conference. P. A. Macauâ€" ley took up the increase in the cost of living in recent years, and also refi:râ€" red to the methods of taxation in Great Britain, the United States and Canâ€" ada, respectively, with the idea of showâ€" ing the economit of the three types of revenue raising. T. F. King referred to the very evident spirit of coâ€"operation shown by the representâ€" atives pesent and ventured the opinion that there could not help but be a sucâ€" cessful outcome to the conference if this continued. N. McKinnon pointed out that the high cost of living was someâ€" thing that bore especially heavily on the members of the Miners‘ Union. They felt that the only help at present would be an increase in wages. O. Osâ€" trosser made reply to Mr. Devaney‘s comparison of prices for boots here and at the Falls, He thought the prices here compared very favourably with those at the Falls. Chamzes in styles added much to the costs of boots. People would not buy boots out of style. He also showed that the cost of leather had greéatly advanced, and this with the advance of all other costs explained the increase in boot prices. L. S. Newton showed how the purâ€" chasing power of a dollar had decreasâ€" ed in the previous years. A motion that the government be asked to place an embargo on foodstuffs did not carry. A committee on transportation, another to enquire into the price of foodstuffs, and a third committee to act as a cenâ€" tral committee were appointed by the meeting. The central committee was made up of four members, one each to represent the mines, the G. W. V. A., the board, of trad», and labour, respectâ€" ively. This committee was to receive the reports of the other committees and report same at the next meeting of the conference. The central committee included:â€"J. W. Reed, for board of trade; L. S.

One of these is the story of how Iroquois Falls got its name. This was told by an Algonquin to one cf the early missionaries and has been recorded. A war party of Iroquios, in two large canoes had visited the counâ€" try, seeking their traditional enemies, the Algonquins. They had destroyed one village and had taken a young girl as a hostage and a guide, to lead them to still another village which they hoped to surprtise, Coming to the falls they heard the roar of the catarâ€" act, but they were assured by the girl that they could approach quite close to the brink without danger, and were directed to go close to a flat rock near the brink of the falls Standing up in the canoe, the better to show her captors where to go, when the cancse neared the flat rock she jumped to safety and the two eanoes loaded with Iroquois braves, with the spoils of her former home and the scalps of her relatives, went on over the falls to desâ€" truction.
