LIMITED Royal Bank Building, TORONTO, Dr. J. A. McInnis, mayor of Timâ€" mins; J. P. McLaughlin, representing the Board of Trade; and Geo. A. Smith, for the Great War Veterans Association: were a Timmins delegaâ€" tion in Toronto ten years ago to imâ€" 7R3 press upon the Government the pressâ€" ing needs of the North. There were also delegates from Iroquois Falls, Smooth Rock Falls, Spruce Falls, Coâ€" balt, Porcupine, Gowganda, Elk Lake, Swastika, Kirkland Lake, Boston Creek, New Liskeard, Cochrane, Englehart, and other North Land centres. Inâ€" deed, the deputation represented all parts of the North from North Bay to Moose Factory, and from Quebec to Manitoba. It was one of the most imâ€" portant and representative delegations ever visiting the parliament buildings in Toronto. The delegation was introâ€" duced by Capt. Tom Magladery, M.P.P., and Major Mac Lang, M.P.P. Mr. W. A. Gordon, of Haileybury, in a comâ€" prehensive and clearâ€"cut speech openâ€" ed the case for the North. He said that the idea of the delegation origiâ€" nated with the Cochrane Board of Trade and was enthusiastically taken up by all the towns, settlements and interests of the â€" North. Briefly, the proposals were for the extension of the T. N. 0. to James Bay, the construcâ€" tion of branch lines to Kirkland Lake and Gowganda, and the construction of good trunk highways through the now partlyâ€"developed areas of the great North. Mr. Gordon forcibly picâ€" tured for the Cabinet the wonderful possibilities in the North Land when transportation facilities made developâ€" ment possible. It had required great faith on the part of the Government to build the T. N. O., but that faith had been justified, and so would furâ€" ther faith toâ€"day be justified, Mr. Gorâ€" don said. Other speakers included:â€" Archdeacon Woodall, S. J. Dempsay, President Dunstan of the Toronto Board of Trade, President A. T. H. Taylor of the Cochrane â€" Board of Trade, President Geo. A. Smith of the Timmins G.W.V.A., and James Mcâ€" Guire, of Cobalt. Archdeacon Woodall specially interested all with his graphic account of travels in and around the James Bay and Hudson Bay. He said that the climate in the James Bay area is better than at Cochrane or south and that there are no summer floods. Agriculture, fruitâ€"raising and stockâ€"raising, he said, may be underâ€" taken with success. Mining, fishing and furâ€"trading he mentioned as other industries that will produce wealth. He also referred to the beauty and advantâ€" age of the James Bay district as a sumâ€" mer resort for tourists. In reply to the delegation Premier Sir William Hearst said that thirty years before he had been one of the directors under a charter for a line to Moose Factory, so he had special interest in the proposal for the railway extension. Without making direct promise he gave the deâ€" putation some encouragement in regard to the railway extension. He promisâ€" ed that an exploration and survey party would investigate the resources and possibilities of the country referred to. Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, assured the deputation that the Government, and particularly his own department, had in mind and under constant considerâ€" ation the development of the North Land. Hon. T. W. McGarry reminded the deputation that he himself was a man of the North. After the hearing by the Cabinet, the deputation, wHich numbered over 100, repaired to the front of the parliament building where they were photographed in group. Reference was made in The Advance ten xears ago the change made then in the system of transformers. New transformers were installed in place of the old ones, and this practically doubled the capacity of the lighting system. "Our new transformers mean that now we are equipped to handle the business of a population of 10,000 peoâ€" ple or more,‘ said one of the officials this week. The G.W.V.A. had a "Welcome Home‘" dance in the Masonic hall on March 3rd, 1919, and the event drew the largest crowd ever at similar event in Timmins up to that date. It was a particularly pleasing event and all present enjoyed it to the fullest extent. The only difficulty was the fact that the hall was not large enough for the crowd. Colombo‘s orchestra of five pieces provided the best of music. The Veterans expressed the deepest gratitude to Mrs. H. Webb, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Faithful who supplied_ and looked after the luncheon. Mrs. J. K. Moore delighted the big crowd with two vocal solos, one of them, "Welcome Home," being especially enjoyed. This song had the special inkprest thak words and music alike were composed by the gifted Timmins musician, Mrs. R. Sims, who played the accompaniâ€" ments on the piano for Mrs. Moore‘s solos that evening. During the singâ€" ing ‘the soldiers lined up in the centre of the hall and sat down on the floor. "sit down on the grass," said Sergt. Geo. A. Smith, "but you mustn‘t smoke." Another feature of the evenâ€" ing was the rousing "Welcome Home" given to Sergt. Willey, an oldâ€"timer of the Porcupine. Ten years ago while Dr. McInnis, J. P. McLaughlin and Geo. A. Smith were in Toronto attending a deputation gathered to interview the Government on the needs of the North, these Timâ€" mins delegates took occasion to speâ€" cially press on the attention of Hon. G. Howard Ferguson the particular need for a highway from Timmins to Iroquois Falls Hon. Mr. Ferguson gave encouraging reply to the repreâ€" sentations made. In referring to the matter at the time The Advance said: "Other matters of special interest to this district were also taken up and THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Hon. Mr. Ferguson in each and every case showed a kindly and intelligent interest and an earnest desire to do all possible for the people of this part of the North. In regard to the housing plans for soldiers and workingmen genâ€" erally Hon. Mr. Ferguson said tha: legislation would be enacted at an earâ€" ly date giving particular benefits to reâ€" turned soldiers and workingmen in the matter of securing homes of their own on easy terms. ~He also explained that Timmins would have no difficulty in taking advantage of the housing plan for the benefit of the people here. The fact that this was a mining camp would not prejudice this town in entering this particular plan." The final dance of the D.Y.B. Club on Feb. 28th, 1919, proved a most enâ€" | joyable arid successful affair and won | high praise for those in charge of the? arrangements. The event was in the | Masonic hall, and the music was by Appel‘s orchestra. The refreshments! were a specially pleasing feature. A; piano duet by Mrs. R. Sims and Miss | Edla Sims pleased all and the solos by | Mrs. J. K. Moore and Mrs. R. W. Robâ€" i bins were also much appreciated. Anâ€"| other feature of the evening was the presentation to Mrs. M. A. Ellis, honorâ€" | ary president of the club, November, 1915, to February, 1919. Mrs. Ellis was' presented with a beautiful set of silverâ€" ware by the members of the D.Y.B. Club. In an address accompanying the gift reference was made to the time, effort, talent an® interest given by Myrs. Ellis to the success of the club. Her home had always been open to the club, and her work in the cause had always been an inspiration to the young ladies. They fully appreciated the fact that to her unceasing and capable work the club owed most of its success. "We were always very proud to be honoured with the title, ‘Mrs. Ellis‘ girls‘," said the address.

Timmins Following up references in the previâ€" ous week in regard to the price of milk, The Advance ten years ago quotâ€" ed a letter from Mr. H. B. Colborne, formerly of Timmins, and then Canaâ€" dian Express agent at Waterloo. Mr. Colborne said that milk had been sellâ€" ing at Waterloo during the winter at 12 cents per quart. and in quantity at 9 cents per quart. The Advance sugâ€" gested that a difference of 16 cents per quart in milk prices between Timâ€" mins and Waterloo was somewhat too much. At the first regular meeting of the Timmins branch of the G.W.V.A., hela in the council chamber ten years ago with President Geo. A. Smith in the chair, there were fortyâ€"two members present. The branch here was known as the Goldfields Branch, and new members were joining at the rate of 8 to 10 a week. Ten years ago delay in T. N. O service was caused by the derailmer: of the snow plough at Earlton Juncâ€" tion. The line was blocked, and trains from the South had to run up on the Elk Lake branch line and then back down on one of the side lines past the station. The trains had to go backâ€" wards as far as Englehart before they could get track accommodation to right themselves. There was a very attractive meeting of the Presbyterian Social Club in the basement of the church on March 4th, 1919, the chief feature of the attracâ€" tion being a debate, "Resolved that an efficient but badâ€"tempered wife is preferable to a goodâ€"natured but lazy one." The basement was crowded for the occasion, and all attending were more than pleased and amused by the debate and the debaters. The addresses of the debaters were remarkable for wit and clever twists, and some of the local and personal allusions convulsed the audience. The affirmative was supâ€" ported by Messrs M. B. Scott, J. W. Faithful and Thos. Blackman. Messrs D. Mackie, P. Dougall and W. Dougall looked after the negative very ably. The judges were Messrs E. S. Noble, J. K. Moore and C. Kemsley. The judges reported that the side upholdâ€" ing the goodâ€"natured but lazy type had won the debate, but Judge Noble preâ€" sented a witty minority report dissentâ€" ing from the judgment of his learned friends. Rev. J. D. Parks presided and contributed a good share to the humorâ€" isms of the evening. a rumor that the Foleyâ€"O‘Brien at South Porcupine is to reâ€"open shortly with Mr. Jos.

"During the illness of Mr. Hoggarth Miss Inglis is in charge of the princiâ€" pal‘s room at the public school." "Mr. R. T. Regnall is laid up with an attack of rheumatism.‘" "Miss Marjorie Briâ€" den and Miss Hennessey, of Haileybury, were Timmins visitors last week." "Owing to the absence of the mayor in Toronto on businesss the regular meetâ€" ing of the town council on Monday was deferred until later in the week." "Since the organization of the D.Y.B. Club in 1915 to the close of the work of this patriotic society last week, the young ladies made over 1700 pairs of socks for use overseas." "Sergt. Geo. Willey, one of the oldâ€"timers of the Porcupine, returned on Monday night after some years‘ service overseas, where he was through many of the strenuous engagements of the war and was wounded several times." "Sapâ€" per Alex Borland left on Monday for Toronto in connection with the necesâ€" sary routine relative to his discharge from the Army. On his way to the city he is stopping off at Cobalt to reâ€" new old acquaintances and to visit friends in the Silver City." "Frank McGuire was in Cobalt last week and went up to New Liskeard with the hockey team of the Silver City on Thursday night. In the report of the game The Cobalt Nugget says:â€"Cobalt took down a new lineâ€"up, calling on Timmins to supply a star in the perâ€" son of Frank McGuire. This centre player from the northern town played stellar hockey throughout and won apâ€" probation on all sides by his clever work. New Liskeard whbn with the score 12 to 7. Of Cobalt‘s seven goals, McGuire sent in 3." "Chief Wilson, assisted by Chief C. McInnis, of Tisâ€" dale, and Officers R. Allen and D. Mcâ€" Innis, raided a shack on Birch street on Sunday evening and placed eleven Austrians under arrest on charges of gambling on the Lord‘s Day. When the police entered through the front door the Austrians attempted to leave by the back door, but only one got by Officers D. McInnis and R. Allen, and even that lone one was reâ€"captured after a lively chase through back yards and past clothesâ€"lines that impeded.the way." "Cobalt is to have a Governâ€" ment Employment office opened there in the next few days with H. P. Chariâ€" ton, at present secretary of the Cobai® Y in charge. It should not be overlooked by the Government that Porcupine district will be even more important as an employment centre. The Board of Trade should seek means of impressing this on the Government." "All were pleased to see Mr. C. L. Heatl out again after his recent illâ€" ness." "Miss Maud Devine left toâ€"day to join her mother at Saskatoon." "A dainty birth announcement card was received in town this week, ‘telling of the arrival of a daughter (Laura Gertâ€" rude) on Wednesday, Feb. 26th, 1919, Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Rev.

There was never anything so wonderful but that Paul beat it. Apparently Paul has recently been devoting his attention to convertâ€" ing men into prospectors. Lots of peoâ€" ple have been wondering where Paul was and what he is doing. This seems as good an explanation as any. In a recent issue of The Northern Miner there was pictured a scene that might depict prospectors‘ tents or what have you. ‘The picture was headed, "A Friend Talked Me Into This," and beâ€" low the picture was the following:â€" "I was in a bad way. « "I was living in a large city where I had a comfortable home and many friends. I had a good position with a generous firm, belonged to clubs and drove my own car. In my daylight hours of leisure I played golf and tenâ€" nis and swam at the park. At night I attended dances and dinners and in other ways put in a miserable time . Flies That Drop Out of Trees, Take a Bite and Fly Back on a Branch to Eat It to Mr. and Mrs. I. E.

"All will regret the illness of Mrs. A. Freeâ€" man which necessitated her removal to the hospital last night." "Mr. Fred Kenning, formerly of South End, who went overseas with the Borden Battery, is back to Canada and is expected in the camp this week." "Miss Laura Brazeau gave a farewell party last night in honour of Miss Maud Devine who is leaving toâ€"day for the West. About fifteen young people were presâ€" ent and a delightful evening was passâ€" ed, the only regret being the thought of the expected departure from the circle of their friend, Miss Devine." ‘"Mr. D. Ostrosser is giving the handâ€" some silver cup, valued at $60.00, reâ€" cently on display in Stock‘s jewelery store, for competition in the bowling league series." "I did not know what was the matter. I attended the theatre, listened to the radio, went to the prizefights and hocâ€" zey matches, called on my girl and took her out to parties and concerts.

"Jim spoke with emotion of the fierce joy of the tump line and the pack strap, the wet blanket and the bush fire smoke. He dwelt on the long, peaceful evenings listening to the frogs and loons and slapping the mosquitoes around the smoky camp fire. The saga of the pick and shovel in the hot sun he sang. "I was convinced. He talked me into it. Here I am. Actually, friends, I am paid money for living this way." "But I was not satisfied. Just about this time I met my old friend, Jim. He had arrived from the North, sunâ€" burnt and flyâ€"bitten. He wore a week‘s growth of beard and picturesque bush clothes. He was a prospector.
