Settlers setting out fires without permits were blamed for the start of most of these fires, There was fire to the north of Timmins but it In the first district football at Timâ€" mins in 1920, Timmins F.C. won from the Iroquois Falls team, 4 to 1. The Falls boys prut up a very spirited conâ€" test but were outclassed. Timmins players â€"included:â€" Blow, Dougall, Graysdell, Dunbar, J. Twaddle, J. Colâ€" lis, Berry, Ferg. Cadman, Andy Roberts, Pate and W. Twaddle. Blow, in goal, was particularly effective. Fearn in goal for the Falls, was equally good and. he had support from Spence, Mcâ€" Hendry, Hughes, Miner, Blewhey, Morâ€" ley and Henderson. R. Harrower, of the Dome, was the referes. Ten years ago when the Farmer Govâ€" ernment was in office in Ontario, The Advance excused some laxness in the administration by saying that the "Govenment will be all busy now with their fall ploughing and other farm work and it is not likely that anything further will be done about the matter until later." one, though it made a lot of smoke. was active and useful in municipal Fires along the river did more damage, affairs, having served as chairman of was one owned by M. J. Tinkess. It was moved the previous fall from the back of the lot and was still on blocks, waiting the construction of the foundaâ€" tion. There was a pool of water under the building and after the fire some thought this was water from the efforts to fight the fire but it wasn‘t. It was simply water that had been there beâ€" fore, coming from a live spring under the house. The origin of the fire could not be even guessed at with any satisâ€" faction, the house being vacant at the time, and no one having been near it during the day, so far as known. The fire started apparently in the fioor or the ceiling beneath, or between. The aamage was only about $10.00, but it was the mystery of the origin of the firse that interested people in the fire, adery had the hearty support of Major Mac Lang, M.P.P. for this riding, but he had to fight the Minister of Agriculâ€" ture, the Attorneyâ€"General, the leader of the Opposition and some others. But, as might be expircted the captain and the major fought on till they won at least a partial victory. The bill as criginally introduced provided for the valuation of veteran land grants that had passed into other hands but were not beimng improved. _A year‘s notice was to be given to the owner to either locate on the land and improve it or express his readiness to accept the fair valuation put upon it. Some amendments were made to the measure, providimg for the sale of the land unâ€" der certain conditions, the measure to hold good only where the unimproved land was holding back development. Capk. Magladery talked straight from the shoulder to the Minister of Agriâ€" culture, lettimg Hon. Mr. Doherty know that the farmers and others of the North did not want simple words of sympathy, but genuine fair treatment and just usage. Hon. Mr. Raney‘s "sympathy‘" also failed to impress Capt. Magladery who pointed out that all the North Land asked was a fair and reasonâ€" able measure of just treatment. Evenâ€" tually, Hon. Mr. Doherty said that he woulid not oppose the bill, and after the amendments were agreed to the measure went through. This act should prove helpful to the development 0o: the agricultural sections of the North d * On May 28th, 1920, a boy ran up to the fire hall to say that he thought there was a fire in a house about a block farther down Fourth avenue. The firemen went down to where the lad directed them, and found a fire in proâ€" gress at 71 Fourth avenue. Smoke was coming from the upstairs windows as the firemen reached the scene, but a carpenter working nearby had already noticed the fire and had it about out by the use of pails of water. The house Ten years ago Capt. Tom Magladery had a bill put through the legislature against the holding of unimproveg lands in the North. "One of the speâ€" cial evils from which settlers in the North Land suffer," said The Advance in referring to the maitter. "is the holaâ€" ing of unimproved lands by speculators and others. Veteran lands have been a particular of trouble when scld to others and held. for a rise. Speculators in many cases secured the scrip and then held the land unimprovâ€" ed year in and year out to thse detriâ€" ment of all other propetties in the disâ€" trict, Other settlers went into the disâ€" trict, made improvements,, struggled along under a aouble burden for roads, schools, etc., if any, while the speculaâ€" tors sat back and waited for the settlers to make an enhanced value for the veteran lands, so held unimproved. (In Capt. Magladery‘s district, it may be remarked on the side this condition was much worse than it was up this way, though it was undesirable all through the North). To right the conâ€" dition Capt. Tom Magladery introduced his bill in the egislature to curh the evils of absentee ownership of land grants in the North Land. Capt. Magâ€" ladery had the hearty support of Major The town of Timmins and the townâ€" ship of Tisdale ten years ago reached a decision to build a joint incinerator. The matter had been leit, as noted in last issue of this column, to a commitâ€" tee representing the two municipalities, with power to act, and this committee agreed that the incinerator should be built, the town to pay 60 and the townâ€" ship 40 per cent. of the cost, the two municipalities to own and oprrate the plant under an agreement. Ten Years Ago From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "Dr. Alexander, of Toronto, specialist in diseases of the ear, throat and nose," says The Advance ten years ago, "was at the Cottage hospital over the weekâ€" end, and operated on a dozen, the majority of the patients being childâ€" ren with nose or throat trouble. Dr. Alexander was with Dr. McInnis at Golden City in the early days, and in the meantime has achieved a great reputation for his expert knowledge and wonderful skil in the treatment of ailments of the ear, nose and throat. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Jemmett and daughters, Misses Dorothy and Marion, and son, Charles, left on May 3ist fer Victoria, Norfolk County. Their reâ€" moval from town was greatly regretted and they were much missed in many circles here. Speaking of their deparâ€" ture The Advance said:â€""They have been prominent and helpful in church, social and other circles. Mr. Jemmett was active and useful in municipal Ten years ago The Advance noted that a Sudbury truck driver was fined $5.00 and costs for driving through a funeral procession. The Advance fayvâ€" oured the idea of fining people for such an offence as this, but did not consider $5.00 and costs a heavy enough penalty for a man who would thus disregard the respect due to the dead. The Advance was very earnest and perhaps a little excited ten years ago because the announcement was made from Hailyebury that owing to lack of funds it had been found necessary to close down the Children‘s Aid Society Shelter at Haileybury. At that time the Haileybury Shelter had to care for all the cases arising in all the North Land from above North Bay to close to the North pole. The Advance was not comforted by the fact that the Temiskaming Children‘s Aid had promised to care for all the children in its charge then by putting them in private~ homes. This meant the virâ€" tual suspension of the C.A.S. work. The Advance pointed out that the Childâ€" ren‘s Aid work was the finest investâ€" ment for good citizenship and humanâ€" ity that a Government or a people could make, and it urged both the Government and the people to see that this magnificent work for the children of the North was not allowed to drop for need of a few dollars. In a comâ€" paratively short time the people and the Government recognized the value of this work and funds were forthâ€" coming and the good work was reâ€" sumed â€" again. The â€" Temiskaming Children‘s Aid Society had a serious struggle years ago to carry on to noble efforts and only the earnestness and unselfishness of its officers and backers made it possible for the work to be continued. The work years ago was not so well known and consequently the governments were not so ready to supâ€" port it. _A very enjoyable euchre party was given ten years ago by St. Anthoaony‘s Girls‘ Altar Society. The event was a decided success both socially and finâ€" ancially. About forty coupies contestâ€" ed for the prizes, the winners being:â€" gentlemen, first, Fred LaForest:; second, T. Larivee; consolation, B. Allaire. Ladies, first, Mrs. Godin; second, Mrs. Gagne; consolation, Mrs. Spencer. There was a very pleasing musical proâ€" gramme. The Timmins Citizens‘ Band held their regular practice that evening and because Rev. Fr. Theriault had so much to help along the band the band boys wen‘t over and played in front of the hall for a ime to attracs the crowd to the place. The Advance of June 2nd, 1920, says: "Her many friends and acquaintances in the camp, of which she has been a highlyâ€"esteemed resident for. several years, will deerky regret to learn of the death at an early hour on Saturday morning, May 29th, of Mrs. Elnor Salâ€" mon, wife of J. E. Salmon, 12 Sixth avenue, Timmins. The death was a sudden and unexpected one, death reâ€" sulting from an attack of apoplexy. The late Mrs. Salmon was scarcely ill for more than a half an hour. . Shortly after midnight she was stricken and though medical attention was secured at once, Mrs. Salmon passed away beâ€" fore the physician could reach the house. At the time of death Mrs. Salmon was 66 years, 10 months, of age. She as born in Devonshire, Engâ€" and, but had lived a great part of her life on this side of the ocean. The body was taken on Monday morning to the old family home at Greenland, Mich., for interment. To the bereaved husband and sorrowing family the very sincere sympathy of all will be extendâ€" ed in their sad and sudden loss." more than one settler being burned out. At Hudson, near New Liskeard, the sawmill owned by‘ John McChesney, brother of S. McChesney, of Timmins, was destroyed by fire. At Elk Laxke much damage was done, and there were also bush fires near Haileybury, as well as nearer North Bay, one of the latter being at Mileage 45 on the T. Baseball got away to a good start in Timmins ten years ago when there was @ very enthusiastic meeting of baseâ€" ball fans for organization purposes. It was decided to have a Twilight league in Timmins for the season, the league to include a town team, a Hollinger team and the Firemen‘s team. B. V. Kelly was appointed the manager and representative of the League to the Northern Ontario Baseball Association. From the players on the three teaims, in the Twilight league the will be selected for the Timmins team in the N.O.B.A. It was decided to have all games on time with a fine of $5.00 for each team late. ! Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"*"Angus Campbelll who | has been in the St. Mary‘s hospital for some days past, is now sufficiently reâ€" covered to be able to be out and around again, though still taking treatâ€" iment at the hospital.‘ His many Ifriends here wiuU) wish him continued ! and increased progress towards comâ€" | plete recovery of his usual good health" l“Mrs. Chas.

Brown." "A. R. Globe, formerly assisâ€" tant general manager of the Hollinger, was a visitor to the camp this wecek and was warmly greeted by his many friends here." "His many friends in town were pleased to see Jack Stevens able to be out again this week after several weeks spent in the hospital sufâ€" Ifering from rheumatism. In football circles he has been particularly missed, and all wish him an early and complete recovery." ‘"Mr.â€"and Mrs. Gilker and family left last week for Detroit, Mich., to take up residence." "Dr. and Mrs. A. S. Porter were called to Powassan last week owing to the death of Dr. | Porter‘s father who passed away at the the public school board, president of the board of trade, and giving interest and aid to many other local matters." Prior to his departure Mr. Jemmett was presented with a Chapter Jewel by the Northern Lights Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons. At a social evenâ€" ing in his honour at Mr. V. Woodbury‘s home, Mr. Jemmett was presented with a handsome Chapter ring. Mrs. Dr. R. H. Brown and Mrs. F. C. H. Simms gave a farewell party to Mrs. Jemmett at the home of Mrs. Brown.
