K.choe, Manager MPERIAL BANK OF CANADA A UNIVERSAL CURRENCY j W‘“’ Ten years ago the town of Timmins enjoyed, or suffered from, one of the few municipal election contests in its history. There had been meetings of ratepayers beforeâ€"the event, the Rateâ€" ;pa.yers’ Association having taken an lactive and useful part, though the inâ€" fluenza epidemic had been a great lhandicap to plans for a thorough disâ€" | Froa oata in Tnur® PorcPINEB ADvaNcs FYLES { W cussion of municipal affairs at public| meetings for the purpose.

There was also considerable discussion of the methods employed by the tax\ collector, W. S. Macpherson at time being the most popular man in town, except Santa Claus, maybe. The election itself, as reported in The Adâ€" vance of Jan. 8th, 1919, reflected most fully the opinion of the ratepayers. The vote was the largest ever cast up to that time at a municipal election. over 250 casting their ballots. Some only voted for mayor, and a number only voted for one or two councillors. There were two or three ballots marked only for Chas. Pierce and J. M. Studor also had ;and unjust.

McAulay was elected mayor of Haileybury for 1919 by acciamation. W. S. Carter was elected mayor of Cochrane by 13 maâ€" jority over B. Rothschild. John Matheâ€" son was elected reeve of Bucke townâ€" ship by acclamation. The following were the officers electâ€" ed for 1919 for the Timmins D.Y.B. Club:â€"Hon. president, Mrs. M. A. Ellis; president, Miss Brown; viceâ€"president, Miss Marion Jemmett; secretary, Miss Dorothy Jemmett; treasurer, Miss Joyner; corresponding secretary, Miss Irene Carswell. "The general feeling of the young ladies," said The Advance in its report of the annual meeting. "was that the organization should be continued, as there is still much patriâ€" otic and other helpful work to be done. So long as there are any soldiers overâ€" seas, there will be work for the D.Y.B., and also there is a wide field and a useful one in the relief work and the work for refugees." The DY.B. ("Do Your Bit") all through the war, and for a time after the war, did a simply wonderful work along patriotic fnes. The Advance ten years ago pointed out that from September to the Christâ€" mas season of 1928 there were only eighteen days of regular school at the public school here that term. The Adâ€" vance said:â€""The school reâ€"opened THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO here on Monday, Jan. 6th, after the holidays. â€"Between the holidays, the diphtheria scare and the influenza epiâ€" demic, there have been only eighteen days of school in the past six months: for most of the classes in the public school heré. The principal‘s room has had a few extra days in that time, but the school in general has only had the eighteen days of actual school since llast summer. On Monday morning there was an attendance of about 300 ‘at the school to commence. Many, :nowe\ er, did not start on Monday. All ‘the teachers, except Miss Clare, were gat their posts. Miss Clare is ill in Toâ€" ronto, being another of those suffering ‘from the influenza epidemic. Just for a variation in this column, an advertisement from The Advance of ten years ago is herewith reproducâ€" ed. The advertisement is headed in bold type:â€""It Pays to Advertise! Tt Pays the Advertiser and it Pays the People." "Advertising," said this advt., In the fyles of The Advance ten years ago note is made of the fact that, acâ€" cording to the official figures, 7281 perâ€" sons died in Ontario from the influenza epidemic, 2067 of these deaths being in Toronto. The total deaths in the Porâ€" \ cupine area from the influ¢fnza numâ€" bered an even 100, according to the offiâ€" !cial figures. year‘s big dog team race, making the| fourteen mile course in 1 hour, 47 minâ€" utes and 29 seconds." On an. 4th, 1919, Gastan Tasang, 2 Finlander living in Timmins, and; working in the bush for one of M. 'Boi-i vin‘s jobbers, was killed by a falling tree. He had cut down a tree which fell against another tree, knocking down a large branch that struck him on the head. He was killed instantly. ‘The deceased was 32 years of age and was a married man. The body was bought to Timmins, and the funeral took place on Monday." The business men of Timmins comâ€" menced the 1919 new year by inaugurâ€" ating the six o‘clock closing plan. The stores had agreed to close each evening, except Saturdays and nights before holidays, at 6 p.m., instead of 7 as preâ€" viously. The plan was at once found to be of very decided advantage to the merchants and their clerks, and withâ€" out any inconvenience to the gencral public.. i 1 i l There were reports about this time| ten years ago that there had been ai second serious outbreak of influenza at South Porcupine. The Advance denied these reports after investigation, there being only a few mild cases of grippe,l less than a dozen, discoverable at Southl End at the time. "The cases are of so comparatively mild a type, and so few in number that they can not be termed "another outbreak," said The Advance.l adding the note that occasional cases of influenza might well be expected| throughout the winter in Ontario. Another note from the fyles of The Advance ten years ago noted that some 14,000 Eskimos were reported as dying; from the influenza epidemic in the far| Hamilton B. Wills Co. ten years ago inaugurated a new direct wire serâ€" vice and news bulletin for Timmins that was much appreciated by the pubâ€" lic. The first week the service was in effect here its value was recognized, the news of the death of Col. Roosevelt beâ€" ing flashed here as the same moment that it was sent to big cities like Ottaâ€" wa, Montreal, ‘etc. The officers elected for 1919 for the Timmins L.O.L. were:â€"Master, L. W. Ducsharm; D.M., A. G. Luxton; Chap., J. Archer; R.S., Otto Kabel; F.S., W. L. Ducsharm; Treas., A. Pooley; D. of C., Wm. McHugh; First Lect., T. Thackâ€" man; Second Lect., W. H. Coaty; First Com. A.‘ Craig. Referring to the influenza outbreak in Kirkland Lake, The Advance ten years ago suggested that word from the other gold camp was to the effect that the influenza attack there was not so serious as reported. There were quite a few cases, but chiefly of mild type and practically all had made good reâ€" covery. All the mines, however, were badly handicapped by the epidemic, the Lake Shore, it was said, at one time only having couple of well men on all their staff. There were no deaths at Kirkland Lake from the influenza, but a couple of bad cases taken to Cobalt for treatment ended in death. The Advance also noted that Cobalt, Haileyâ€" bury and New Liskeard at this time ten years ago were suffering from a second outbreak of influenza. There were a number of deaths in Haileybury and Cobalt, but the reports of the seriousâ€" ness of the outbreak were exaggerated. The ban acgainst public meetings in Cobalt and Haileybury having been reâ€" moved, The Advance took it for grantâ€" ed that the authorities felt the situaâ€" tion was well in hand and the danger point well passed. In this connection The Advance again warned the people to be prepared for occasional cases of the disease all over the provint throughout the winter and early spring. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""A hockey league to include Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard is proposed for the balance of the seaâ€" son, and active measures are now beâ€" ing taken to organize such a hockey league." "Among those ill with the inâ€" fiuenza at Haileybury hospital is Mr. Richard Pearce, editor of The Northâ€" ern Miner. His many friends in the Gold Camp will wish him a speedy and complete recovery from the prevalâ€" ent malady." "The New Liskeard Speaker says that with a view to securâ€" ing buyers for Temiskaming‘s surplus pork, beef and mutton, Capt. Magladery got in touch with some of the big buyâ€" e ers in Toronto and was surprised ;.o|° have an answer by wire from one firm saying that their agent would be in New Liskeard to look over the prospects." "Miss Ida Landers was called to Cobalt last week on account of the illlness of | her sister and family there, all being [ sufferers from the prevalent influenza. All were much improved this week and Miss Landers was able to return on |. Monday evening." "The social evening | and dance given in the Oddfellcws hall | on the evening of New Year‘s Day, unâ€" der the auspices of the B‘Nai Zion, was an unusual and pleasing success, and all present spent very enjoyable evening. Mr.. L. Halâ€" perin, who was in charge of the arâ€" rangements for the event, is being conâ€" ’gratulated on the unqualified success ‘ achieved." "Miss Laura Poitras spent nt,he weekâ€"end the guest of friends in \Kirkland Lake." "Mr. Jack Bacon is ! back in the camp again after a stay on {the farm in Southern Ontario." "The \Saturday evening dances in the Minâ€" iers Union hall are proving a popular | weekly feature and are drawing good \crowds and proving enjoyable events." "Haileybury insurance agents have reâ€" ceived notice that hereafter the rates on dwelling houses in Haileybury will be just double the rates that obtained [ in 1918." "Thursday evening‘s train | was only about five hours late, reachâ€" fmg here about 4 o‘clock on Friday | morning. The derailment of .a freight j car was apparently the cause of some of the delay." "There was a good l’icrowd and a very pleasant time enjoyâ€" |ed at the social evening and dance l.gnen on Friday evening in the Maâ€" ! sonic hall by Golden Beaver Lodge, A. {F A. M.. for the members of the. | lodge and their friends." "A preposterâ€" ’l ous new year to you, is the greeting one ‘| Timmins man has been giving his ‘‘ friends. That is no good one friend reâ€" '?p]ied, for that‘s exactly the same kind of a year last year was!" "Pte.

He was |twice wounded on active service but ;1 nade a good recovery each time and ; |looks well and hearty.
