Wishes to announce that he is now with the Corner Third Avenue and Pine Street In a Practical Way! J. M. Gauthier at For Mothers‘ Day in 1918, the day being May 10th, the South Pon eupine \urserles, of \sluch Bert Dewar was the proprietor, brought in to Tlllllllllh Cen Vears Ago in Cimmina Fromw pata in Tn®x Porcuprm® ADvaNCE FYLES was especially lawâ€"abiding and orderâ€" ly. He made particular reference to | the good work of Constabe Mr. Greer, who had shown himself a very eapable officer. Mayor MceLaughlin brought to attention of council the eondition of some of the backyards in town, these being considered unsanitary and a menace to health. There were old j boxes, log piles, wood, rubbish, old | shacks, and whatnot. He urged a; stern cleaningâ€"up. On motion of| Councillors Brazeau and Dr. Melnanis| it was decided to purchase four Imrâ€"l rels of oil to experiment with the oilâ€" ing of the roads here, the town to pay half the cost of the oil. On Tuesday evening, May 7th, 1918,| a number of the friends of Mr. W. M. Summerhayes gathered at the home of Mr. R. J. Ennis, manager of the Mcâ€" Intyreâ€"Poreupine Mines, and a very pleasant social evening was enjoyed. Advantage was taken of the oceasion | to express appreciation of the fine qualities of Mr. Summerhayes, wlml has been very popular in the camp, during his stay here as manager of the| Poreupine Crown. _ Mr. Summerhayes | was presented with an address and silver plate as a mark of the esteem in which he was held and the 1'(*;:1‘{ felt at chis departure. On account: of the closing of the Poreupine (‘rmvni Mr. Summerhayes was leaving the camp. o e x Ten years ago a local man reached home after his da\ s work to find that he had lost his wife, his child, a quantity of clothing and $20.00 in cash. A friend of fhis had also leff town along with the other valuables. (omplamt being made to the police, the couple were picked up at North Bay, charges being held against them hmo for tm\ollmtr without a permit, being aliens, as w rell as for the theft of everything taken but the women. The case was eventually settled by the husband taking back everything but the man. The Advance ten years ago was inclined to be sareastic in regard to a boxing match here between Young Sampson, who was travelling the country as a strong man, and Fredâ€" erick Finch, who had attracted atâ€" tention to himself here for months by his odd methods of training. . He called himself the North Land Greyâ€" hound, and issued challenges right and left. The night of the boxing match, the police visited the theatre before the event and warned the comâ€" batants that it most not be a genuine fight. Both promised it would on!ly be a boxing exhibition. It was an exhibition all right, but there was no boxing,‘‘ commented ‘The Advance. When Finch was stripped for the fight, he was so thin that Chief Clark told Sampson that if he hit Finch with any foree and cracked any ribs he would arrest the strong man on the spot. â€"‘‘Then I‘ll have to hit him only in the face and ears,"" said Sampâ€" son, grinning. The "‘fight""‘ was, perâ€" haps, the greatest burlesque ever seen in a boxing ring. Finch did not seem to know the first thing about boxing, and in addition he was too thin and frail for such work. Sampson hit him when and where he liked, but showed fine sportsmanship in taking rare care not to ‘hurt the misguided fellow. â€" Sampson chased Finch all over the stage, and some people were inclined to think that Finch looked very foolish all through. But Finch was paid $25.00 for his part in the evening so he was not quite so simple THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘*Talk about the condition of the back yards,"‘ said one citizen to The Advance ten years ago,, ‘‘but what about the condition of the streets? Some people are using the streets for back yards.â€" Actually in the busiâ€" ness part of the town there have been woodpiles on the streets and in the public lanes and some, indeed, have gone so far as to use the eement sideâ€" as he might have been. For months he had kidded the people, or some of them, that he was a boxer, but after the Sampson incident he soon disapâ€" peared. _ walks for chopping blocks in the matâ€" ter of splitting wood. It‘s all right to make people clean up their back yards, but it would be just as well also to stop any use of the streets for back vards.""‘ Ten years ago The Advance reâ€" corded the appointment of F. H. Bonâ€" nerville, acting chief after the reâ€" tirement of Chief Norman Burke at Cobalt, to act as chief of police for the Silver Town. Cobalt has had a lot of chiefs of police and some diay a man with a good head . for statisties should make a list of all the chiefs of police who have been in office in this North Land. The ice went out of Lake Temisâ€" kaming on April 30th, in 1918. Tius was about ten days earlier than in the average previous year. E.wh} year The Haileyburian offered a prive for the person g gcuessing nearest to the exact date of the ice going out of the lake. In 1918 no one guessed corâ€" rectly, one saying April 29th, and three others plading the event at May 1st. The Haleyburian was genâ€" erous in the matter and gave a prize to each of the four coming within a day of being correet. Fast and reckless driving of autoâ€" mobiles was rare enough in Timmins ten years ago to be considered news. Hence, this item in The Advance on May 8th:â€"‘‘"Late Saturday night or ezul\ Sunday morning a_ erowded auto came tearing tlnrouuh the town without lights. The pohe made an effort to stop the machine, but the auto driver refused to halt, and the absence of lights made it impossible to dlbtmmush the number of the machine. _ The police have an idea who the eulprits were and they may face unpleasant proceedings as a conâ€" sequence of their foolish offence.‘ Great interest is taken at present in the wild geese stopping at Timmins on their way north. Ten years ago the wild geese gave this town the goâ€"by, but wild duck visited here. The Adâ€" vance in commenting on the visil said:â€"‘‘Therewas a flock of wild duck at Miller Lake on Friday. It is not often that the ducks will come so close to town, and still less often that they will stay so long in so exâ€" posed a position.""‘ Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten yeas ago were the following:â€"‘‘Mr. and Mrs. Len Cousins are leaving this week for a vacation in Toronto.‘‘ _ ‘‘Bornâ€"In Timmins, on Tuesday, April 23rd, 1918, to Mr. and Mrs. D. Ostrosserâ€" a daughter.‘‘ ‘‘May 24th, according to Dan Cosgrove, is famous in hisâ€" tory because it is going to be this year the night of the Firemen‘s annuâ€" al ball."" ‘‘Mr. L. Stadelman is up from Cobalt, looking after the store here, his bmthel Ivan, now being away in Toronto, lmvmo donned the khaki. Mrs. lvm btado]man is visitâ€" ing friends and relatives in Fcnunto Brantford and other southern points.‘ ‘‘Mr. Alex Stirling, superintendent of the Ontario Government roads in this district, returned last week from Renfrew, accompanied by his two sons, and will take up the work now in progress here for new roads and improved roads.‘‘ ‘*Commeneing on Sunday, the Timmins Bal)tlbt church will hold the regular Sunday services in the Old Empire theatre.

Cushing, B.\., LTh., Carl _ Anton Johannson and Elizabeth Alexandra Halverson, both of this town.‘‘ ‘‘Martin Myles was elected D.D.G.M. for this district of {he: LQ.O.F. foday.‘‘ ‘‘P. L Meâ€" Hale, who has conducted a jewelry store here for some months past, left on Friday for the south. Most of the stock he had here was soid by puhllo auction in the week or two previous. The fixtures, etce., left in the store are also said to have been sold, but on Saturday the bailiff took possesâ€" hall on Friday evening of last week under the auspices of the committee interested in the securing of a new general hospital for the camp proved sion of these to satisfy a lien note held on them by the former owner, Mr. Mi. J. Roche.‘‘ **‘The box social and dance given in the Miners‘ Union hall on Friday evening of last week under the auspices of the committee ‘nfarastead in thesecuring of a new a very enjoyable and successful event. There was a good attendance, and the boxes were many and excellent in quality and brought good prices.‘‘ ‘‘Dr. C. W. Haentschel has been apâ€" pointed registrar for the District of Temiskaming in connection with the registration of all the man power and woman power of Canada this June.‘* **The population of Sudbury is now 7,216, an increase of 174 over 1917.‘‘ **‘Prof. Sharpe, of New Lisâ€" Keard occupied the pulpit of Byrnes Presbyterian church on Sunday, and delivered good, orthodox _ sermons morning and evening.‘‘ The concert recently given by the Irish Choir, under the direction of Mr. James Geils, in the Goldnelds theatre after the church services on a Sunday some weeks ago, netted a neat sum for the District C.A.S. Sheliter, receipt of which has been duly acknowledged with thanks. The facet that the theatre management doâ€" nated the theatre for the evening was especially appreciated.
