The Provincial Board of Health was quoted as saying that they feared that fully one half of the population of Ontario would be affected before the epidemic had run its course. Theâ€"Advance was able on Oct, 9th, 1918, to refer to the epidemic as follows, but inâ€"a few weeks would have toâ€" revise this summary:â€"‘"The North Land, so far, has fairly well esâ€" caped the trouble. Cobalt, Halleybury and other North towns have been free from cases gnd Timmins has had no epidemic. Some months ago there was a partial epidemic of the trouble that is now thought to have been “Spanish Flu." â€" Among the sufferers some months ago were Magistrate Atâ€" kinson and. Inspector Blackwall. They will be trusting now that one attack gives immunity from a second siege." In a few weeks, however, it appearâ€" ed here, as will be noted by following this column..

The Curtis Drug Co. will likely move to their new quarters in November. A find of platinum was reported ten years ago from near Devil‘s Lake, in the Temagami Forest Reserve. The Advance pointed out that some years previously there had been similar reâ€" ports from the same locality but though some work had been done nothing further had_ came from it. The Advance was very anxious that a platinum mine should be discovered in this North Land, but was not very hopeful in the matter.. The report of Mr. J. P. Taillon, treas of the Porcupine Consoliâ€" dated Patriotic Club, for the month of September, 1918, showed the club in a good condition and doing good work. Ten years ago The Advance said:â€"â€" "It was with the deepest regret and genuine sorrow this week that the news was learned here of the death from wounds of Archie Chisholm, on Sept. 24th. The deceased soldier was brother of Mr. Dan. Chisholm, of this camp, and was one of the earliest pioneers of the mining districts of the North Land. He was at Cobalt in the early days and was also one of the first into the Gowganda and other camps. He walked into the Porcupine in the early days before the rallway reached here, and was one: of the most esteemed and popular men among the oldâ€"timers. In addition to doing diamond drill work, prospecting, etc., he was also for a time at the Homnger Mine before going overseas to give his life for his country and the right.‘" A letter to Mr. Clarence Appel from Corp P. M. Bardessono, then in Engâ€" land, was pubushed in The Advance of Oct. 9th, 1918. It giakes thterestâ€" ing reading still, being in Pete’s wellâ€" known â€" bright and> style:â€" "Well, old sox, I am y on the way to France.
