While working on a distributor in the crusher room of the Hollinger Mill, he had all the fingers of one hand comâ€" pletely severed when he endeavoured to close the chute, down which some muck was coming. _ The Advance commented on his courage and eoolâ€" ness; he held the injured hand so tightly at the wrist with his left hand that the loss of blood was comparaâ€" tively small. He was taken at once to the hospital and on account of his pluck ad strength made an early reâ€" covery, C. .*®, a**s* *4 *# 4 ## * 4 eetes eatoatecfect t C o *,. * + *+* * 4 *4 +.

On the afternoon of June 20th, 1916, the dead body of Jim Perkins, who had been working as chef at the Connaugzht Hotel, South Poreupine, was recovered from the Poreupine Creek, where Constable Roy found it floating near the bridge towards the lake. Perkins had been missing for about six days. _ Evidently he had Froxu pata mm Tnxs Porccrim® Apvaxcs FYLES fallen into the water and drowned, none being around to see the accident or to give assistance. He was well known and had many friends and his death was much regretted. The sad news reached Timmins ten years ago this week of the death in The sad news reached Timmins ten years ago this week of the death in action of Lieut. Ewen Nichol, of Coâ€" balt, wellâ€"known and popular in the Poreupine. The same casualty list reported that Lieut. Carl Green (brother of Mrs. J. D. Parks), as missing. Later his death was teportâ€" ed, to the sorrow and regret of the many friends of the young man in this camp, The above were some of the sad item of news in The Advance of ten years ago. There was, however, other news of interest, that will not rouse the same depressing memories. Some of the local news notes in The Advance of June 21st, 1916, were as follows:â€"‘‘The Dr. Moore building on the corner of Pine street and Fourth avenue it going ahead very rapidly and is expected to be ready on or about the first of Augu@st."‘ ‘*The town has opened up Bireh ‘street at the rear of the rink, by cutting down the hill between Second and Third avenue.‘*‘* **Charles Shehan arâ€" rived in town from South Bend, Inâ€" diana, where he has been going to college. Charlie will be remembered as one of the good ball players at South Poreupine in 1914."" **‘Marâ€" riedâ€"at Manistee, Mich., on June 3rd, 1916, Mr. W. M. Whyte, of South Poreupine, to Miss R. E. Southworth, of _ Manistee." «* Marshallâ€"Eecleâ€" stone, Ltd., have just received their fourth big shipment of Ford cars this season."‘‘ ** Gasoline Gus Muelâ€" ler and his harness mate, Karl Eyre, went to Cobalt last week to qualify as proficient engineers for benzine bugâ€" gies, and it is whispered that the quality of gasoline used in the vicinâ€" ity of Haileybury is of higher tenâ€" sion than in this neck of the woods. We are of the opinion that the graâ€" duates in question will not be able to improve their speed much by having a diploma in their pocket.‘‘ ‘*There are now 349 names on the Poreupine Honour Roll of Enlisted Men."* Among the South Porcupine items of interest there were the following: "*F. W. D. Wilkins left this week for Swift Current where he will be marâ€" ried.‘~ **The casualty list reports Dan McLennanâ€"as hbeing wounded. He was one of the proneers of the camp, being on the Reamsbottom Edwards staff.‘‘ ‘‘The Township of Tisdale have commenced to fix up the road to the station which was badly in need of repair. Possibly it seemed worse to Reeve Dickson since he got his car.‘‘ ‘‘Word was â€"received of the sad drowning accident in which Pte, Harry Pottinger lost his life at North Bay. He was with the 159th Battalion. He was 29 years of age, and formerly employed at the Dome mines. Mr. \Harold Hall, of the Dome, a close friend of the deceased, was among those attending the funeral of the late Pte. Pottinger."‘ There were fires here two years ogo, but not the same equipment to deal with them. It was some years later before the town could claim to have the best equipment in the North Land. Later that claim was fully justified, this good result being due very largely to the persistent and untiring advoâ€" cacy of Dr. J. A. Mclnnis. Surely, it is only fair to give credit where due. . But, to return to ten years ago, The Advance of June 21st, 1916, had the following item:â€"â€"‘The fire briâ€" gade were called out on Tuesday mornâ€" ing at 11.30 to quench a fire on Birch street, southwest of the rink. Conâ€" siderable time was lost through no fault of the brigade, as the hose had to be stretched from the hydrant at Balsam and Third avenue, a distance of over a quarter of a mile. One twoâ€" storey house was totally destroyed with no insurance thereon and a new twoâ€"storey house on the adjoining lot was badly scorched about the roof and side."">â€" About 38 members of the 159th Battalion ecame to Timmins on June 20th, 1916, and went under canvag at the ball grounds. _ Lieutenants Maecâ€" namara and â€"Beith were in charge. Ten tents were erected to lhouse the men, Mr. M. Boivin donating 3,000 ft. of lumber, Marshallâ€"Ececelestone supplying beds, etc., at cost, and Mr. A. Brazeau looking after the plumbâ€" ing, etc., required. Col. Mulloy paid a second visit to Timmins ten years ago and. was greeted by fully 500 people at the rink. This blind orator, a veteran of the South African war, delivered a stirring appeal to all to do their part to win the war for liberty and rightâ€" eousness. Dr. J. A. Mcelinnis was the chairman for the occasion. _ Col. Earchman, Capt. Monteith and others spoke. _ The D.Y.B. girls canvassed the audience very effectively for * silâ€" ver bullets.‘‘ Mrs. J. K. Moore sang a Seottish war song and Mr. Reeves, a visitor from Toronto, favoured the gathering with a fine rendition of ‘*Mother Machree."" In the four weeks ending May 19th, 1916, the Hollinger made a new high record for tonnage, the mill treating 45,561 tons of ore of $8.00 per ton grade. ; ‘‘Reference is made in The Adâ€" vance of ten years ago to the modern and complete refrigerating plant inâ€" stalled in the meat and grocery deâ€" partment of the J. P. MeLaughlin store, later taken over by the Hollinâ€" ger Stores. The equipment was the very latest word in upâ€"toâ€"date appointâ€" ments and Timmins was as proud of it as J. P. himself. The advertisenrents in The Advance ten years ago were interesting, and some of them will have interest again toâ€"day, especially to the oldâ€"timers. W. G. Smith had a fullâ€"page anâ€" nouncement for a wellâ€"known brand Will kill many times more flies for the money than any other fly killer. Each pad will kill flies all day, every day, for three weeks. At all Grocers, Drugâ€" gists and General Stores â€" 10c and 25¢ per package. ind Hollinger Stores Limited of tailored clothes. _ His shop was next to the Imperial Bank, which may be why he was able to offer suits made to order, at $20.00, $25.00 and $30.00, guaranteed as to fit and stvyle. ‘‘Mining Truth‘‘ was the heading of an announcement of a mining paper published at Spokane, Washington. Many people here subscribed for that paper when it was advertising in The Advance. _ The Quality Shoe Store (A. Shaheen), had a quarter page advt. in The Advance ten years ago. Sso had the Northern Canada Supply Co. _ The Grodwards Company also kept the public informed about the virtues of the Johnsâ€"Manville fireâ€" proof= roofing and siding, liberal space being used. J. R. Gordon was a steady and effective advertiser. He made his advertising pay good diviâ€" dends. .«He featured prices very week, and some of the prices ten years ago may be of interest now. _ Chopped shoulder steak, prime steer shoulder roasts, and prime steer chuck roasts were each quoted at 15 cents per lb. So was short ribs of beef. Brisket beef and corned boof were 12%% cents. Fancy layer figs and fancy table raiâ€" sins were each 2 lbs. for 25 cents. Twoâ€"pound tins Graham wafers were 53 cents. Strawherries, lettuce, raâ€" dishes, cueumbers, f.'rreel( onions, parâ€" sley and mint were advertised as arâ€" riving fresh each day.. Mrs, N. Aboud _ advertised big bargains in ladies‘ wear, while Ostrosser Co., Timmins and Schumacher, emphasized quality in goods for men. The Emâ€" pire Theatre published its programme of pictures for the following week,. Other _ advertisers _ included :â€"M. Boivin, Moore‘s Livery, L. E. Dorway, A. Brazeau, Sullivan Newton, E. G. Dickson, M. J. Roche, Wm. Gagne, Frank M. Burke, John W. Fogg, E. M. Allworth, Eagle Hotel (Bert Dewar proprietor) South Poreupine, Dalton Bros., the Town of Timmins and the Township of Tisdale. The Town of Timmins gave notice of the passing of a byâ€"law to deed over to the T. N. (). a certain parcel of land on which to erect a railway station. One of the Township notiees asked for apâ€" plications for the position of conâ€" stable at Schumacher. The other gave notice that the court of revision on the assessment roll wiuld be held on June 22nd, 1916, at 10 a.m. The following is a sketch of one of the goalies of the English F. A. team to be at Timmins, July 7th.â€"â€" THOMAS GALE â€" (goalkeeper)â€" This young player took the eye of Mr. Arthur Kingscott, the honorary treasurer of the Football Association in charge of the team. As Mr. Kingsâ€" cott has been for years one of the selectors it is no small tribute to Gale that he was approved by such a sound judge of the game and of men. Gale, like â€"most of the men discovered by Barnsley, the club to which he is atâ€" tached, has not had a ceareer. _ These HOS. GALE, GOALIE OF TOURING ENGLISH TEAM. tached, has not had a career. _ These ‘‘unknowns,"‘‘ chosen with superb judgment over many years, generally make their career when they arrive at the Yorkshire coal centre. A native of Ruthwell nearâ€"Leeds, he went to Barnsley for the season 1923â€" 24 and has appeared in over 100 league matches. _ Very strong in the use of his left hand: he is more of the daring type of goalkeeper than Sewell. EXCLUSIVE/ INVICTUS AGENTS Invictus shoes are built to enâ€" dure more than the hardestâ€" worked shoe has to encounter. Only the choicest leathers are used, stitched> with silk thread that will not rot or fray. Dollar â€" for â€" day, you‘ll find Invictus your very best inâ€" vestment.
