New Empire Theatre You‘ll forget that it‘s a picture and live and breath with NONA, the wild creature of the wilderness. You‘ll laugh with her and cry with her. You will mingle the bitter with the sweet and leave the theatre feeling you have left a friend behind If your doctor has warned you agzainst laughing, and if you must keep your dignity at all cost keep away from this picture, because you can‘t win. There‘s a laugh in every foot, a thrill in every footâ€"print. ‘COLLEGIAN®S Wednesday and Thursday, May 1st and 2nd Karl Dane and George Arthur Friday and Saturday, April 26th and 27th Jack Holt and Dorothy Revier COMEDYâ€""THE OLD GREY HORSE"â€"By OUR GANG PATHE NEWS AND REVIEW Monday and Tuesday, April 29th and 30th COMEDYâ€""NEWLWEDS HEADACHE" SERIALâ€"EAGLE OF THE NIGHT"â€"Chap.

Widâ€" difield told of the expected arrival back in camp within a few weeks of "Widâ€" dy" himself and Frank Smith, oldâ€" timers of the Porcupine. The letter was in part as follows:â€""Arrived in Blighty on the night of the first and we are going through the red tape necessary to being returned to Canada. We expect to get back some time during the first part of May. Bunny (Erol Neal) had to stay at our headquarters in France to finish up his books, and so there is only Frank Smith and I toâ€" gether out of the old gang from the North. We expect to leave in a day or two just to look things over before reâ€" turning to God‘s country, and hope to run across Bunny while on leave, as he will come from France on demobilizaâ€" tion leave and will have his leave beâ€" fore reporting at the base. We have not much to kick about being separated this time, however, as we have been very lucky in being left together as long as we have. At the base in Le Havre just before crossing to England we ran across Jules Timmins and had a short talk with him. He looks all right. The weather is fine here, and the camp has been greatly improved since wei were here before, and if I do not contract the measles encore, shall be quite conâ€" tent to get through with Blighty and beat it back to Canada " The Advance ten years ago said :â€" "An officer of the Salvation Army was in town this week making arrangements for the reâ€"opening of the Salvation Army work in Timmins. It is expected that the captain and lieutenant to have charge of the work here will reach here next week and the Salvation Army will again take its part in the life of the camp. It is probable that the Oddfelâ€" lows‘ hall will again be used for the indoor services of the Army, while the open air services will of course be a special feature.. It will be remembered that the Salvation Army established a corps here last year and appeared to be permanently settled here. The advent of the influenza epidemic, however, upâ€" set all plans. Both the captain and the lieutentant here, after giving assistance in nursing in homes where there was illness, were themselves taken ill with the disease and both young ladies found it necessary to go south. After their departure the work here was necessariâ€" ly discontinued for a time." A suciail evening in the Oddfellows hall on Thursday evening, April 17th, 1919, under the auspices of the Cenâ€" tennial Coramittee of the Timmins .0. O.F. proved a very pleasant event. The attendance was large and everybody A front page article in The Advance ten years ago told that reports receivâ€" ed during the week credited samples of ore taken out that week in Eby township as containing the precious metal, "platinum." The samples, taken from a sulphide dyke, contained showâ€" ings of suliphur, gold silver and platiâ€" num. The samples run about $2.00 per ton in platinum. The assays indicated only small values in gold and silver. The Advance pointed out that while the find was interestthg, indicating the presence of platinum, there was no reason for any undue excitement as the precious metal was not present in comâ€" mercial quantities. It might be found on the claims in question in commerâ€" cial quantities or in adjacent property. Until there was a more material find the discovery was not of material imâ€" portance. Eby township adjoins the township of Teck, in which latter townâ€" ship is situated the great gold camp of Kirkland Lake. Under the heading, "Teck Township to Vote on Power Franchise," The Adâ€" vance ten years ago said:â€"‘"On May 9th the ratepayers of the township of Teck are to vote on the matter of granting of a fiveâ€"year franchise to the Northern Ontario Light and Power Co. to supply light and power to all parts of the township. In the matter of light and power the Northern Onâ€" tario Light and Power Co. is pioneerâ€" ing the way it did in other parts of the North Land, and it is likely that the byâ€"law will be endorsed by a large maâ€" jority. In the spring of 1917 the transâ€" mission line was built to the Kirkland Lake camp which is the important part of Teck township. For the past couple of years the mines of Kirkland Lake have been using the power and light supplied by the Northern Ontgrio Light and Power Co. Since the buildâ€" ing of the transmission line the number and size of the businesses and indusâ€" tries calling for power and light nave greatly increased and Kirkland Lake toâ€"day is a busy centre that fully justiâ€" fies the foresight of the power company in going in there after business. Considerable front page publictiy was given in The Advance ten years ago to the boom promising in mining matâ€" ters in northern Tisdale and Whitney. Prospects looked big for a very active summer in these townships. It wa» reported that the Davidson Mine in Tisdale intended to increase its mill capacity. The North Davidson had an extended campaign of diamond drilling planned for the season and had bought a complete mining and milling plant in Nova Scotia to ship to the property. Satisfactory results were reported from the diamond drilling in Keora township. There was also a report that the Hunâ€" ter Mine was likely to resume work during the year. There was an extenâ€" sive diamond drilling campaign planâ€" ned for the Gold Leaf. A number of other Tisdale and Whitney properties were also reported as promising activiâ€" ty in the summer of 1919. Ten Years Ago tm P ltA AP PAAA AC L â€"AC PP PPA l From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO in Timmins Ten years ago The Advance was adâ€" vocating a branch of the T. N. O. to connect Timmins and Sudbury, and acâ€" cordingly told with much pleasure about a meeting of the Sudbury board of trade where a suggestion was made for the linking of the two towns by the T. N. O. Mr. Thos. Travers, who was well acquainted with the country beâ€" tween Timmins and Sudbury told the board of trade that Sudbury certainly should support an extension of the T. N. O. from Timmins to the C.N.R., especially because it would give access to the Shiningtree mining area. Mr. Travers was in favour of the proposed line from Elk Lake to Gowganda but suggested that if the Government did not build that line it should be specialâ€" ly urged to proceed with the extension from Timmins to Sudbury. The Adâ€" vance pointed out that before the war the Canadian Northern had plans for a line to Timmins. What appeared to be good business for the C:N. should be doubly good business for the T. N. O. and what The Advance believed ten Ten years ago an enquiry was being conducted into some of the affairs of the Ontario Licence Dept. While The Advance noted that nothing brought out by the enquiry reflected in any way on any of the local officers or officials of the law in the North Land, still the investigation was of special interest here. The enquiry was conducted by Peter Whte, K.C. The poor system used in connection with the confiscated liquor was one of the points in conâ€" nection with the enquiry. Another point brought out by the enquiry was that Mr. Geo. Morrison, who resigned his position as chief inspector for the North Land when the enquiry opened, had been given $21,000 stock in a priâ€" vate detective agency that was largely employed by the department. He claimed that he had made no profit of any kind from the connection and that the detectives in the agency had al been regularly used by the department before he had any share in the concern. Another local touch was given to the enquiry by the prominence allowed to a comnlaint from Rev. Mr. Morton, of Iroquois Falls, that liquor sent to that town at the time of the influenza epidâ€" mic had been used in what the minister called a "regular debauch." This was hotly denied by Chairman J. D. Flavelle of the License Board. He said that Iroâ€" quois Falls had been allowed a shipâ€" ment of liquor for the influenza epideâ€" mic and when it was found that Dr. Dorsey did not want tue liquor it was shipped to various points along the Transeccntinental where it was needed and to a neighbouring hospital. Everyâ€" thing was regular and no liquor had been improperly used in this case. In addition to bringing back renewâ€" ed health for himself, The Advance ten years ago noted one good story conâ€" veyed here by Jack Gorman on his reâ€" turn from a visit to the south and east for his health. According to this story, an American soldier was wandering near the front line trenches in a very disconsolate frame of mind. The truth was that he was thinking more of beâ€" ing home than taking a chance in the great war. He was hometick. very homesick. At last he went away to one side and getting out paper ana pencil he started sadly to write. "What are you doing now?" asked an English Tommy. "Oh, I‘m writing home to the old folks," said the homesick doughboy. And the English Tommy said, "Well. then be sure to tell them you seen the bleeding soldiers." In The Advance ten years ago there was a letter from Mr. Vincent Woodâ€" bury suggesting that in future years the Porcupine Dog Race be held on Pearl Lake instead of the course previously used. His argument was that on the course to South Porcupine and return only a very limited number were able to see only a very limited part of the race. If the animal race were helic on Pearl Lake thousands could watch the whole race, he suggested. ‘"You‘re not having this race for dogs, but for people," Mr. Woodbury said, adding:â€" "I don‘t care whether a team of bloodâ€" hounds beat a team of rat hounds. It‘s speed I want. Open your track; make it a race track for the event." had a good time. The programme for the evening included euchre and musiâ€" cal numbers, literary numbers and a general good time, not to mention the fine line of refreshments served. The musical programme included piano selections by Mrs. R. Sims, solos by Messrs D. Mackie and W. McHugh, while elocutionary selections by Mr. Lainsbury also added to the enjoyment of the evening. Among the local and personalâ€"notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Mr. W. D. Cochran, of New York, was a visitor to the Porcuâ€" pine last week and visited many paris of the district. He was greatly imâ€" pressed with what he saw and it is likely he will return in a week or two. As a result of his visits it is expected that New York capital will come to the camp for the development of new minâ€" ing properties here. Mr. Cochran reâ€" presents a strong group of New York capitalists whose attention has been turned recently to the possibilities of the North Land." "Lieut. W. H. Brown, of New Liskeard, came to the camp last week to visit his sister, Miss Brown, of the public school staff." . "The sad news was received here this week of the death at her home in Cobalt of Mrs. J. W. Tripp, sisterâ€"inâ€"law of Mrs. J. E. Wilson, of town. Mrs. Tripp was ill only a week, death being due to influâ€" enza. She was only 24 years old at the time of death, and is survived by the bereaved husband and one little daughâ€" ter two and a half years old. Several members of the family recently suffered from attacks of influenza, both Miss Frances Tripp, who was visiting her sister here, and Mrs. J. W. West, anâ€" other sister visiting Mrs. Wilson, being called recently to Cobalt on this acâ€" count. All the others, however, having had attacks of the illness, are now makâ€" ing excellent progress to complete reâ€" covery." "Sergt. Beswick, who went across with the 228th, returned to the camp from overseas this week." "Mrs. John Clark leaves this week for a holiâ€" day visit to the West." ‘"Mr. Geo. A. Smith left this week for Winnipeg to take hospital treatment for illness causâ€" ed by his service overseas." "After beâ€" ing in charge of all the machinery, plant, etc., at the Martin Gold Mines at Amos, Que., for the past eight months, Mr. P. Delisle has spent a two months‘ holiday in Timmins and leaves this week for Amos, having been apâ€" pointed chief stationary engineer at the St. Maurice mines, north of Amos." "There were ten christenings at St. Anthony‘s church since Sunday this week." "The Russians, Roumanians, Austrians and others from Western Europe had a big time here during Easâ€" ter. They engaged the Finlander hall for several days and nights, also the Finlander band, and there were rounds of dancing, feasting and general jolliâ€" fication." "Capt. Sherrill was a visitor to the Dome Lake mine last weekâ€"end." "Bornâ€"To Mr. and Mrs. Bert CoX, Dome Lake,â€"a daughter." ‘"Mr. and Mrs. J. Jeffries and son left on Monday for Montreal."‘ "One of the most atâ€" tractive and modern stores in town now is the new business place of S. Bucoâ€" vetsky, who opened a firstâ€"class clothâ€" ing and men‘s furnishings business last week at 44 Third avenue. The frorn> has been remodelled and repainted, and the store which was formerly divided into two business places has been made into one light and roomy store." "Frank Hamilton, manager of the West Dome, is in Toronto this week on busiâ€" ness in connection with the property." "Last week Mr. R. T. Regnall, who has been in a Toronto hospital, was suffiâ€" ciently recovered to be able to receive visitors. He is now well on the way to a complete and early recovery. In adâ€" dition to recovering from the attack of pneumonia that caused his removal to the hospital while he was on ):is wayv to Mount Clemens for treatment ior rheumatic fever, Mr. Reynall has made such favourable progre$s under the hospital treatment that he seems to be recovering from the rheumatic fever as well as the pneumonia." "Mrs. B. V. Harrison and children, of South Porâ€" cupine, left last week for a two weeks‘ vacation in Toronto." "Frank Horne, formerly a popular member of the Dome staff, returned last Friday from Amyox, B.C." "Mr. Thos. Benbow is in Toronto on a business visit in cornâ€" nection with his mining properties in the camp and district." "Geo. Wilâ€" liams, who went overseas with the 159th, returned to the camp last week and has accepted a position on the Dome electrical staff." "Mr. and Mrs. W. Nicholson and son left on Sunday‘s "National"‘ for Toronto where Mr. Nicholson will take treatment for an atâ€" tack of appendicitis." "Pte. Geo. Barkâ€" er came back to South Porcupine on Thursday last and was a welcome visiâ€" tor to Timmins on Friday. Pte. Barker conducted barber shop in Timmins for some years and was wellâ€"known in the camp. He went overseas with an engineering corps and for several months was in the thick of things in France." "Mrs. DeLong and daughter, years ago seems in this particular to be just as true toâ€"day in 1929. Amateur nights at tne New Empire theatre ten years ago were very popuâ€" lar. The programme for one of these noted by The Advance included a boxâ€" ing bout of much life and interest beâ€" tween two young boys, solos by Mr. De La Barre, and a biscuit eating and whistling contest for the boys. Miss K. DeLong, leave this week for Toronto where they will reside in fuâ€" ture, joining Mrs. DeLong‘s son, K. F. Delong, who is one of the chief demoâ€" bilization officers of the Royal Air Force in Canada. Mrs. DeLong and Miss DeLong have been residents of the camp for several years and will be much missed here in social and other circles." Chatham News:â€"The editor of the Stratford Beaconâ€"Herald sent the last form to bed early the other day and strolled down the main street looking for flowers. He had visions of rose buds, pansies, violets and even sunfliowâ€" ers, with birds nestling within their petals, but he didn‘t find them. He went back to his office and wrote an editorial to the effect that the Easter hats are not what they used to be. In a letter written to General Victor Williams, commissioner of the provinâ€" cial police, Mr. A. B. Cunningham, K.C., of Kingston, who was the crown proseâ€" cutor at Cochrane in the recent assizes there, takes occasion to give well meritâ€" ed praise to the provincial police for the good work done in securing the arrest and conviction of John Ivanchuk in connection with the cowardly murâ€" der of Inspector Harry Constable in 1926, Mr. Cunningham paid tribute in his letter "to the splendid work done by the provincial police in connection with the discovery and indictment of the murderer." Mr. Cunningham states that the police "displayed praiseworthy discernment in not arresting Ivanchuk until they had built up a complete case against him." The letter concludes, "I understand that special credit should go to Sergeant Gardner."
