The total assessment was around @ million and a half dollars. . Yet the court of revision had no less than 105 appeals. Most of. them wére simply marked as ‘‘assessed too high,‘‘ though there were a few appeals against inâ€" come and business tax. The assessâ€" ments were sustained in nearly â€"all cases. There was a big attendance of citizens at the court of revision and much interest generally was shown. The liquor problem, like the poor, seems to be forever with the world, so note the following paragraph from The Advance ten years ago:â€"‘‘*Some local men are reported as having been very; ill recently from overdoses of a A large number of people from Timmins went to Iroquois Falls on July 2nd., 1917, for the big celebraâ€" tion there. Among the sports and other events enjoyed were:â€"tennis tournament, aquatic sports, log rollâ€" ing contest, swimming races, etc. The town was specially ‘decorated for the occasion and it was then, as now, the special beauty town of the North Land. Everyone who visited Iroquois Falls was delighted with the town and the hospitality of the people. e In 1917 Dominion Day came on a Sunday, so there was not the usual | celebration in Timmins, though:it was theâ€"golden anniversary of the foundâ€" ing of this Dominion. The day was appropriately noted: in ‘the churches where fitting reference was made in the addresses of the variouns clergyâ€" amen. One paragraph from The Adâ€" ~vance comments as follows on July 1st. in Timmins in 1917 :â€"â€"‘‘The holiâ€" day passed off quietly in Timmins, only the rain and one or two other wet fellows disturbing â€" the> summer silence. For getting wet inside one _ man was fined $10.00 and costs by H, E. Montgomery, J.P., and two other citizens the following day answered similar charges in the same old way.‘‘ The number of men ‘*away the war‘‘ or preparing to go, and ‘other amatters directly and indirectly conâ€" nected with the war, made it inadvisâ€" able to hold the usual form of Dominâ€" ion Day celebration here on the Monâ€" day that was supposed to be observed as Dominion Day ten years ago. Ten years ago Timmins ranked as an examination centre for the High School Entrance examinations. There were 21 pupils trying the examinaâ€" tions at this centre. ' Mr. James Simpson, viceâ€"president of the Dominion Trades and Labour Council, was in ithe North Land ten year ago addressing various meetings on the Labour question. He spoke at Cobalt, Schumacher, South Poreuâ€" pine and Timmins. His meeting here was an openâ€"air one held in front of the Finlander hall Fully 100 people gathered to hear the address, which dealt chiefly with the needs of the workers and was moderate in toné. At South . Porcupine, Mr. Simpson felt very flattered by the class of people who turnedâ€"out to hear him. ‘‘There were professional men, bank managers, merchants and big men of affairs ‘‘ he said to The Advance in reference to the attendance at his South Porcupine meeting. ‘ o pata in ‘Tus Porcurm® Apvaxcs rFyuss Saturday evening, June 23rd, 1927, was Firemen‘s Benefit Night. First there was a firemen‘s demonstration on Pine street, where the boys of the brigade showed what they could do in the way of the preparation and use of the hose and other equipment. Then the crowd adjourned to the New Empire theatre for the rest of i SE o se H. B. Coumans as superintendent of missions. â€" Rev. Mr. Coumans was pastor of the Cobalt Baptist church, and previously had held charges at New Liskeard and Binbrooke. . He was a graduate of MeMaster Univerâ€" sity and a forceful and able preacher. Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. J. Hurley, Mrs. D. Hurley, Mrs. Kincaid, Mrs. Racicot, Miss Skinner. Announcement was made in The Advance ten years ago of the apâ€" pointment by the Home ‘Mission Board of the Baptist church of Rev. used to laugh at Mr. F. C. H. Simms for putting in a garden here ‘‘ an oldâ€"timer told he Advance ten years ago, â€"‘‘They told him he could never grow anything here. But last year he had the laugh on them all with his fine garden, and this year he has another laugh, for in the matter of putting in a garden, everybody‘s doing it now.‘‘ Nearly every availâ€" able and suitable plot in town in 1917 was utilized for garden purposes, and some were used that were more availâ€" able than suitable. * A report of the work of the South Poreupine Patriotic Society published in The years ago showed this society as doing great work, In oneé month nine cases of goods were shipped overseas, the cases containâ€" ing 336 towels, 16 sheets, 21 suits of pyjamas, 40 pillow slips, 216 fomentaâ€" tion wringers, 28 pairs of socks, 14 sponges.. Among those prominent in the work for the month were:â€"Mrs. Gauthier, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Alexandâ€" er, Mrs. Seguin, Mrs. Ray, Mrs. J Gibbons, the I. T. Club, Mrs. Twigger, Mrs. Houlihan, Mrs. Rapsey, Mrs. Warren, Mrs. Montpetit, Mrs: Thomas The Advance ten years ago said :â€" ‘‘Provincial Officer R. Allen has reâ€" signed from the force, and is at presâ€" ent simply finishing up the work in hand. . The new Provincial Officer for South Porcupine has not yet been announced. Provincial Officer Allen has given very faithful and efficient service in this district, and his retireâ€" ment will be a distinct loss to the Provincial force. While the work is not such as to give a man general popularity if he does his duty, it will no doubt be found that time will jusâ€" tify the classing of Provincial Officer Allen‘s work. as faithful, fearless, fair, and in the public interest.‘‘ â€" The fire brigade made the same kind of prompt response ten years ago that they have been in the habit of making since. They had a call to No. 1 Birch street, the residence of Mr. J. Pacy, and were so soon on the scene that the fire was extinguished by the chemical tanks without the necessity of turning on the water. Mr. Pacy was down at the post office getting his mail at the time the fire was discovered. When he reâ€" turned it was to find the house broken into and a fire in progress. He had had no fire in the stove for some hours previously. It may have been that the breaking into the house was causâ€" ed from.someone seeing the fire or smoke and.entering the house to fight the fire, but even that does not exâ€" plain how ‘the fire originated. â€" Mr. Pacy had no insurance, so the damage from smoke, etc., was a net loss, ‘patent codâ€"liver oil concoction with ‘a kick concealed in it. The overdoses were selfâ€"administered, not with the idea of selfâ€"destruction but in the hopes of extracting the kickâ€"y feeling From the codâ€"liver. It is bad medicine, as ‘the Indians say. : ~One man ‘reâ€" marks:â€"Go dry, rather than (drink too much to get a feeling. Then you are so drunk that you haven‘t sense enough to know you are sick; and you are so so sick that you can‘t enjoy being drunk.‘‘! â€" e ~Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis, Ltd C es Timmms, Ont. _The Geo.

Coming back after a.â€"perfect day, the engine developed some sort of corruâ€" gated trouble, with the result that the steamer. was stalled at about five o‘clock. All efforts to get the steamâ€" er to steam were unavailable.

Melnnis, chairman of the fire and light committee of the town council, occupied the chair. He had. bhis little joke, then his little swipe at the Government, and then a wholehearted word of praise for‘ the fire chief. â€" Dr. Mclnnis explained that while the cost of fire protection might seem high, yet to the. town of Timmins it would prove worth every cent of ‘‘The Price She Paid,‘‘ Fire Chief Borland was then called to the platform and was given a regular ovaâ€" tion. He spoke in highest terms of the men on the brigade, and reviewed briefly what had been accomplished in giving Timmins efficient fire proâ€" tection service, Another special feaâ€" ture of the evening was the singing of Mr. Jack Cade,: Still another was the clever elocutionary work of Mr. Wan. Lainsbury. The picture of the evening was also much enjoyed. The event netted the fire brigade over $57.
