During his stay in Timmins he hbas made many friends, and in musical and social Auto Truck THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO circles has been much esteemed. His ability as a singer has been known and appreciated by a wide circle of acquaintances, all of whom will xeâ€" gret his departure but will follow him with the best wishes for safe and earâ€" ly return to Timmins when the war is won. On Tuesday evening twentyâ€" five or thirty of his friends gathered in the Masonic hall to do honour to him on the eve of his departure, Mr. C. G. Williams, superintendent of the Hollinger mine, very capably occupiâ€" ed the chair. There were speeches of appreciation of the fine character of the guest and regret at his leaving, with hosts of good wishes for his fuâ€" ture as a membex of the Royat Flying Corps. A musical programme of much merit was also given during the evening. including wellâ€"rendered songs by Mr. E. P. Ladbrooke and J. Cade, and a trio by Messrs R. W. Robins, Carl Muelley and G. 8. Lowe, that brought down the house. A pleasant supper was also served. Mr. Cade was presented with a beautiful wrist watch as a token of the appreciation felt for him. Mr. Sancton made the presentation, and Mr. Cade made apâ€" propriate reply."‘ The following item from The Adâ€" vance will be of interest, especially to oldâ€"timers of the camp:â€"‘‘On Satâ€" urday night a man hired a rig from S. Wheeler‘s livery at South End, and unfortunately they gave him that faâ€" mous Poreupine pony, ‘‘Dolly."" Apâ€" parently the man started down the track for Golden City, and the horse and rig were hit by the evening train which was running late. The horse was killed and the rig smashed to atoms. No trace of the man could be found, and it was not known at first whether he made his escape and simpâ€" ly disappeared to avoid trouble over the horse and rig, or whether he was also killed and the body thrown some distance away. The engineer on the train did not even know that anyâ€" thing had been hit, it is said, but the dead horse and wreckage were later discovered near the track." Ten years ago, Jolhn Ross. superinâ€" tendent of the Abitibi Power Paper The Exemption Board under the Military Service Act, sitting at Timâ€" mins, had 537 appeals before it. OFf this number up to this time ten years ago, 139 cases were completely disâ€" allowed ; 43 men were given from 1 to 6 months‘ exemption; 37 were placed in the married men‘s class on account of dependents; 25 were granted exâ€" emptions, as indespensible to indusâ€" try; 1 granted exemption on account of exceptional financial obligations; 155 classed as physically unfit; 1 exâ€" empted in connection with the War Times Election Act ; foreigners, dupliâ€" cates and transferred to other tribunâ€" als, 23 ; cases still to be decided (Dee. 12th, 1917), regardâ€"to the exemptions granted as ‘‘indispensible to industry,"‘ The Advance made the following comment:â€"‘‘ All the mines of the Poreupine together only asked for 9 men to be exempted as indispenâ€" sible to their industry. The balance of the 25 were farmers. One other man who applied for exermption on account of being a farmex, when told that his exemption was dependent upâ€" on his spending all of certain seasons on the farm at actual farm work, exâ€" claimed :â€"‘‘*Wel!l, then, I don‘t want exemption. I‘ve spent all the time I intend to on the farm.

Reference was made ten years ago in The Advance to the Halifax disasâ€" ter. ‘‘One of the worst disasters in the history of Canada befell the city of Halifax last Thursday,"‘ said The Advance, ‘"‘and as a result a great part of the city is in ruins and the dead are estimated at 2000, though no less than 4000 coffins are said to have been ordered sent to the scene. One thousand bodies have already been recovered. _ According to the press reports. the Imo, a Norwegian vessel in Belgian xelief work collided in Halifax harbour with the Mont Blance, a French munitions ship, loaded with the deadly T. N. The collision started fires on the vessels and an exâ€" plosion oceurred. Fires started all over the city, and later to add to the misery a blinding snow storm came.

ESTABLISHED 1904 Phone 100â€"101 Timmins Other particulars were noted in The Advance, the article concluding :â€" ‘*Many in this camp have relatives and friends in Halifax, and there is naturally anxiety to learn about these. All detailed information, however, is necessarily lacking.‘"‘ At a fire at Mrs. Thompson‘s, Elm street, ten years ago, the fire chief for the first time in his fireâ€"fighting experience, was nipped by the frost. his feet being slightly touched, though he knew nothing about it unâ€" til he reached home after the fire was out, so interested was he in the batâ€" tle. _ Practically all of the firemen alâ€" so suffered frostâ€"bites on the hands from handling the hose in the bitter weather. Several, also, had their feet frozen. The house was badly damaged by fire, the alarm not being given in time. The Advance referred to the giving of the alarm as follows: ‘‘A man walked into the fire hall Monday evening and casually menâ€" tioned that he thought there was a fire down on Elm street. There was nothing casual awbout the way Chief Borland and the brigade took up the alarm, however, and a very speedy run was made to the scene of the blaze, connections being made with the nearâ€" est hydrant on the way down.‘ A travelling jeweler, making his headquarters at Cobalt and Montreal was arrested at Timmins ten years ago, and sentenced to a year less a day in the Ontario reformatory after pleading guilty to a charge of illegally having gold ore in his possession. Officer R. Allan had a strong case against the man Reports of political meetings took up considerable space in The Advance ten years ago. One meeting in the interests of Mr. Arthur W. Roebuck was addressed by Mrs. Harriet Prenâ€" ter, W. DeFeu, L. 8. Newton, Sylvesâ€" ter Kennedy. and others. Mrs. Prenâ€" ter‘s address was noteworthy foy its wit and humour. An advertisement in The Advance ten years ago announces the opening of ‘‘King‘s Employment Office.‘"‘ ‘‘"We are prepared to furnish men for all kinds of work,"‘‘ said the anâ€" nouncement. The service was of speâ€" cial value at that time, this being the only employment oflice in theâ€"district for the advantage of employers and employees alike. Ten years ago The Advance went after some people with woodâ€"cutting outfits who were attempting to do what The Advance termed ‘‘profiteerâ€" ing in a small way‘‘ by high prices and by attempting to create a monoâ€" poly for themselves by refusing to cut wood that they had not supplied themselves. *‘In a climate liks this," said The Advance, ‘‘those who would take advantage of the public in a matâ€" ter like this have little room to eritiâ€" cize anybody for mean profiteering.‘‘ It developed that some of those susâ€" pected of the profiteering were not guilty and the others did not carry the game on further. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘‘Pte. Isaac Quinn, formerly fire chief at Haileybury, died in hospital in England from wounds received on Oct. 26th. _ He came to Haileybury in 1906, and from 1910 until the time of his enlistment he was fire chief there and built up a firstâ€"class fireâ€"fighting brigade. _ He was promoted to rank of sergeant but reverted to private to get to the front. He is survived by a widow now residâ€" ing in Toronto."‘: ‘‘Mr. B._â€"M..Allâ€" worth was called to his old home in St. Thomas last week owing to the critical illness of his mother."‘ ‘‘Mr. C. Harry, of Saskatoon, came to the camp last week to take charge of the stock board wire for Homer L. Gibson Co., in their new premises in the E. G. Dickson building."‘ ‘*‘While cranking a gasoline engine at Connaught last week a young man there had a peculiar and unfortunate accident. While cranking the engine Write 000. This totals $1,125,000 for these mines of the North Land, with the Poreupine giving $650,000, or well over half the amount.‘‘ ‘‘Sergt. Matt. Wayman, returnéd hero and former Labour representative, deliverâ€" ed a stixring address at Schumacher on Monday evening in the interests of theUnion: ‘Government.‘‘ â€" . ‘{Ciro Guirino returned to camp last week after completing his term for the asâ€" sault last year on John Nolan at the Vipond. Guirino was picked up here by Chief Clark on instructions from Burwash, and is being held here on remand until an officer reaches here with the necessary papers for his deâ€" portation to the United States, this being ordered by the authorities.‘‘ ‘‘A horse belonging to J. K. Moore, baker, took a notion the other day to have a run all by himself. In the course of a swift trip around, the rig came in contact with the gasoline tank of the Northern Canada Supply Co., and as one boy said when he saw the accident,â€"that hoss didn‘t do a thing to that there tank but knoek it for a row.‘‘ ‘(*‘The Timmins skating rink opened for the season on Dec. Tth, with over one hundred skaters present. _ Manager Mulheron gave this opening night free to all.. A new plan adopted for the first time hexe was the scheme of ‘"‘turning the skatâ€" ers.‘‘ Formerly, it was the practice to travel round the rink the one way all eveningâ€"to the leftâ€" but under the new plan a bell announces the time to change and then the skaters reverse. As this change is made several times in the evening, it adds to the interest and adds to the skill and adaptability of the skaters.‘‘ ‘‘Word has been received in the North Land from Dunean Sutherland, now in hospital in England, but forâ€" merly a wellâ€"known printer in the early days of the Poreupine. At the battle front where he was hurt, he says the ground was churned to porâ€" ridge, and there was no protection, with more shelling than usual. He got some shrapnal through his left arm just below the shoulder, some more through the back of the neck, and still more on the back of the right band. He is recovering nicoly, and has good words for the kindness of the hospital nnrses and staff."‘ BARRISTER, ETO. of Commerce Bldg New Office Phone 880
