DOUGLAS N AT ALL DEALLRE EGYPTI%lNanNT UNO PARK CORRESPONDENT LIKES THE CLOCK RIGHT ‘‘We notice that the soâ€"called ‘‘Daylight Saving‘‘ bug is again a: work in some of the Temiskaming towns and it is to be ‘hoped that the Liskeardites will again use their good common sense as on the last oceasion and squash the idea flat. As far as the farmers and farming towns are concerned the scheme is simply no good.. As we said when the last agiâ€" tatlon was on that surely the citizens of â€"Temiskaming could find all the daylight between 3 a.m. and 9.30 p.m. durmo' the summer months that they could stand for either work or plm' without monkeying with the clock. and causing disorder and inconvenience all round."‘ M The Uno Park correspondent of The New Liskeard Speaker last week says :â€" As to the suggestion that the Goâ€" vernment should discourage people taking an interest in the Red Lake Camp there is nothing worth while in that. _ The Government of Ontario has already made it clear that Red Lake is a venture, even though a proâ€" mising one. Redâ€" Lake gold field, Hon, Mr. MeCrea said last week, is well worthy of thorough investigaâ€" tion. The Government has assisted all possible in giving Red Lake a fair chance, It has taken the correct atâ€" titude. ~Red Lake is a good bet, and anybody who likes to ‘bet has a run for their money. If you don‘t like to bet, don‘t take a chance. Mr. Baum affirms with one side of his mouth that Red Lake has noicomâ€" mereial ore. and with the other side that the ore does not assay more than $10 to $17 per ton. Unless he is misâ€" reported, he must be sort of crossâ€" eyed in the lower jaw to talk that way. Ore running $10 to $17 per ton is certainly commercial ore of attracâ€" tive type.â€" If Red Lake has that sort of ore and much ofit, the Camp will be humdinger, Ontario‘s gold ore, famous for its high grade, averages only about $9.00 per ton, and South Africa‘s average ore produced is a dollar or two less per ton. If Red Lake has lots of the $10 to $17 kind, then the new camp is "‘jake." Surely, everybody has been aware from the very beginning that there will be hundreds of disappointed people in regard to Red Lake or any other mining camp, or any other venâ€" turée on earth. Why, there are hunâ€" dreds of people disappointed alregdy in the new Timmins Council. ,There were hundreds disappointed in the Yukon, in South Africa, in everything and everybody. There will be hunâ€" dreds disappointed in Heaven, and elsewhere. Disappointment is the eommon lot in life. No Government can legislate or guard against disapâ€" pointment. In mining matters parâ€" ticularly people should be prepared to take a risk, or find some other busiâ€" ness. Gettm«r down to hard pan, the risk in the mining game is the chief attraction for a great many,â€" and these usually the best people in the game. _ They are such good sports that they would simply secorn a dead sure thing! Asks Government to Stop the Rushes. Somebody May Ask That He be Stopped When The Advance noted an interâ€" view with Mr. W. F. Baum, said to be a Pittsburgh mining engineer, in which he was alleged to have told a New York newspaper that Red Lake was no good, and the Government should stop people going to that new camp, paper natu%ally thought that Mr. Baum was either misreportâ€" ed or else should have been missed in reporting. The anterview appeared to be a sort ofâ€"erâ€"silliness. He was credited with saying that the rush to Red Lake was most deplorable, or words to that effect; that the new field had no ore worth mining, the miserable stuff only running $10 to $17 to‘the ton, or what will you have, or something like that; and that hunâ€" dreds of men, women, children, orphâ€" ans, widows, bank clerks, capitalists and machinery supply houses are goâ€" ing to be bitterly disappointed over the matter, or something along that line. Newspapers all over the counâ€" try have given prominence ito the inâ€" terv1e\\ so perhaps, one more referâ€" ence will not ruin Red Lake. PITTGBURGHER KNOGKS LAKE MINING FHELD Mrs. R.

We underâ€" stand there were some other onâ€" lookers who made no attempt to save the child and had it not been for Mr. Timmins Rod and Gun Club got away to a good start in 1916.. The Advance of May 3rd, 1916 says :â€" ‘‘Several small practit¢e shoots have been induilged in hy members of the Timmins Rod and Gun Club during the past week, and considering the early season, some really midâ€"summer form was shown on some of "the score sheets. Interest in the club is increasing as the season for reâ€" gular sport approaches. Single and double traps are in position on the shooting grounds, which is conveniâ€" ently located about ten minutes walk down the Moneta road, south of Timâ€" mins. The following are the secores which have been obtained in two pracâ€" tices already held. These shots were not regular schedule ones, ‘but were indulged in by a few of the members to try out the new traps and grounds, both of which are pronounced by the more experienced gunâ€"men o be exâ€" cellent. First shoot; (Geo. Preston, 11 hits out of 15; Geo. Dewar, 6 hits out of 15; Carl Eyre, 4 hits out of 10; Bob Hunter, 3 hits out of 10. Second hoot ; Spence, 16 hits out ofp 20;, Uttley, 9 hits out of 20; Armâ€" strang, 2 hits out of 5; Dewar, T hits out of 15; Preston, 16 hits out of 20; Dalton, 6hits out of 20. ~A meeting of the Club is called for Thursday (toâ€"morrow). night at the Goldfields Hotel. ~»The officers expect a good atâ€" tendance as many details in regard. to â€"the programme for the season as well as other business of interest will be dealt with. All members and proâ€" spective members should make a speâ€" cial effort to be on hand so that the officers may have a more practical basis on which to work in mapping out their plans for the approachmg season.‘‘ . The following from The Advance‘s South Porcupine correspondent in the issue of May 3rd. 1916, will be read with interest toâ€"day, as ten years ago : The final meeting at Timmins of the 159th Battalion in its recruiting campaign was held on April 30th, in the Empire Theatre. Dr. Meloanis was in the chair, and the speakers included Lieut. Nicholson}s,Corp. Galâ€" lagher and others.. Mrs. J. K. Moore favoured with a solo. The motron picture, ‘‘The Eternal City,"‘ / was shown on the screen during the evenâ€" ing. Previous to this a collection was taken up, and the chairman warned his hearers that unless they gave liberally they could not hope to see ‘*The Eternal City."‘ : Fno‘n paTA IN Txr Porcourm® ADpvyaNCB FYLES .} ..0 o_ actaatactactentecte ate ate ate ate abe ate atie ts ate afe aBe ie aie ob aPe aPe ate ate ofe es The 159th Battalion ‘held a very successful dance in theâ€"Masonic Hall on April 26th, 1916. There were many visitors from South Poreupine, and the Dome, the total attendance being about 130. Mrs. Darling was given*much credit for her good work in making the event a suceess. Priâ€" vates Jermyn and Dixon were also. singled out for spectal praise for their work in preparation for the event. The annual meeting of the St. Matâ€" thew‘s Church ten years ago showed the clhyirech making good progress. All the reports were satisfactory. _ The officers elected for the ensuing year were:â€" Rector‘s Warden, Mr. C. Hnumphrey ; People‘s Warden, Mr. V. Woodbury; Sidesmen, Messrs G 8. Lowe, W. H.

He also paid a visit to his home in New York durâ€" ing his absence."‘ ‘‘Word has been received here of the death of Fred Warrington, on Wednesday last, at the Westor Sanitarium. The ‘deceasâ€" ed will be well remembered in the North Country having been employâ€" ed by the Imperial Oil Company at South Poreupine. He was also a member of the 1.0.0.F. The remains were laid to rest by the Masonic Order of Haileybury, he having been a member of that lodge." _ ‘‘E,. M. Allworth hasâ€"opened up a electrical shop at the rear of Cumming‘s Cigar Store, where he will handle all kinds of electrical supplies besides doing everything in the line of wiring."‘‘ Among the letters from the front published by The Advance ten years ago, the following will no doubt be of special interest now :â€"â€" Mr. and Mrs. Pete Chapman, Timmins. My dear friends:â€"Just a few lines in answer to your very welcome letâ€" ter and â€"you don‘t know ‘how glad I was to get a line from you. I was pleasef to hear thgt you were in your new house and T hope you will have the verandah finnshed by this summer THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Township Council in 1916 apâ€" pointed May 12th as Arbor Day, and urged all residepts to clean up their premises on that day. In 1916, Miss B. M. C. Shaw was the teacher at the Dome School. The report of the school for April, 1916, was published in The Advance. The following were those first in each class:â€"IV Class, Aunie Smith; IH Class,â€" Hattie Johns; II~ Class, Jas. McWilliams ; I Class, Geoffrey Cosser; Primer B., Clyde Phillips; B. Hass, Teddy Milliken.

Our moneyâ€" back offer is printed in red on each sealed waxâ€" wrapper. ' we made Quaker Corn Flakes for you. They are appealingly dehcmus in flavourâ€"made cnsp and keep crisp. -- Then we protect this precioué flavour by sealing the cartonâ€"and covering it with a waxâ€"wrapper which is also sealed. + You wanted a better fiavoured corn flake which would be fresh and crisp when you used it.

EXCLUSIVE INVICTUS AGENT HOLLINGER STORES LTD. I don‘t think I have any more to say just now so I will conclude with my best wishes anq remain Yours sincerely, Sergt. Jack (,drey. For temn years The Advance has been _calling for troads, roads and more roads. Every once in a while there was some Government anngunceâ€" ment to keep courage up. Teffyears ago‘ten thousand dollars was a lot of money to spend on any ‘section of roads in the North, and accordingly The Advance was pleased in its issue of May 3rd, 1916:â€"‘‘Ten or twelve thousand dollars was voted by the Government to be used toward imâ€" proving the highway between here and South Pureupme during the present summer. â€" This sounds llke a goodly sum in these strenuous times, but, for I can‘t write you very much owing to the censorship or I. could make a very interesting letter. Sufficient to say that I think the North Country boys are the finest men I ever was with and I know a little about soldietrâ€" ing. They are all right on the job all the time and I know that they are appreciated at headquarters. as you never know I may waat to sit under it this summer. ~I am sure you must have some rare old chats about the boys, and beli®@we me we have some talks about the old times. All the boys are doing well and wish to be remembered to you; as for myself I am in the pink of condition. That "breaking in" stage is enâ€" tirely eliminated in Invictus shoes.

THE BEST GOOD SHOE Timmins the work about to We taken in hand, will searcely leave a surpluq,â€"rather will it leave a deficit in the form of an incomplete transformation of the said highway. The government have .also Â¥oted $55,000 to be used in buildâ€" ing a road which will parallel the railway from Porquis Juncetion to the ‘Mattagami River. This will be good hews to the communities along the line traversed by the Poreupine Branch, and will widen the seope of automobiles as a means of transporâ€" tation between different points along the route,â€"especially on Sundays and at times when the ]ocal train is not available. *‘ MARSHALLâ€"ECCLESTONE, LIMITED STUDEBAKER 1924 SPECIAL SIX TOURINGâ€"Painted blue with gold stripe. 5 excellent tires.
