council ten years ago, a committee composed of Mayor Dr. McInnis and Councillors Longmore and Brazeau was appointed to confer with the G. W . V. A., the merchants, the mines, labour, and other interests, regarding the high cost of living. The suggestion for this came from a letter from the Timmins G. W. V. A., forwarding a resolution passed at a meeting of the branch the previous week. On motion of Councilâ€" lors Newton and Longmore the mayor was asked to name two of the council to act with him on the committee, and he named Councillors Longmore and Brazeau. Councillors Newton and Deâ€" Feu were first named to act with Counâ€" cillor Longmore but each in turn exâ€" plained that they were already on committee named for a similar purpose. At the same meeting Councillor Braâ€" zeau called attention to the poor serâ€" vice given the town by the express companies and the telephone lines. "The service in each case may be desâ€" eribed as rotten," he remarked. And there was general agreement. The service given toâ€"day by the express companies is very greatly improved, but Councillor Brazeau ten years ago did not really know how bad a teleâ€" phone service could become. Byâ€"laws were passed appointing Geo. Laporte as poundkeeper, regarding the closing of poolrooms, saloons, iceâ€"cream parâ€" lours, etc., and regarding the use of standard cans for garbage. The Advance ten years ago referred to the death of Sapper Robt. Stokes at the Vancouver General Military hosâ€" pital on June 8th, 1919 He had been overseas with the Canadian Engineers, and death was due to the effects of gas poisoning suffered by Sapper Stokes at Passchendaele on Nov 10th, 1917. The late Robt. Stokes was very popular in the Cobalt and Porcupine mining camps, and was living at Schuâ€" macher at the time of his enlistment. A brother, W. Stokes, enlisted from Timmins and was killed in action overseas early in the war. The late Robert Stokes returned in 1918 from overseas and was under medical treatâ€" ment from that time until his death. The funeral was held on June 1l1th and was under Masonic auspices. At the time of his death his wife was ill in the Vancouver hospital.

Those who find dogs on the streets to be a nuisance should hunt up the hyles of The Advance ten years ago, when an article was published on the front page of this paper urging all and sundry to "keep the stray horses off the streets of the town.""‘ The stray horses were doing quite a bit of damâ€" age to gardens and lawns. m the youngest only a few weeks old at the time, were left to mourn his loss. Considerable space was given in The Advance ten years ago to the big day of sports to be held at Timmins on July 1st under the auspices of the Timâ€" mins Football Club. A list of events for the occasion was published, as well as a complete review of the many prizes offered for the day. After a meeting of the Porupine Miners‘ Union on June 22nd., 1919, the following letter was sent to the various mines in the district;â€"*"Timmins, June 23rd, 1910. Dear Sir:â€"We, the underâ€" signed chosen representatives of the mine workers of the Porcupine disâ€" trict, herewith present for your conâ€" sideraton copy of new wage scale which met with the unanimous approval of a special meeting of mine employees on Sunday, June 22nd, and will be glad to bear from you concerning same on or before June 28th. We are desirous of reasonable and just discussion of local labour problems and a peaceful settleâ€" ment, and will be glad to meet the mine managers of this district at any time and place this week. Yours very truly, Wm. DeFeu, Arthur Perrault, J. R. Hawley."‘ It may be noted here, that while this letter was not directly acted upon, it made a great impression by its fairness and lack of attempt to irritate, and it indirectly was one of the impelling and compelling factors to assure good will between the men and the mines. The Advance ten years ago recorded the death of Burr E. Cartwright, one of the prominent figures in the mining life of the North Land. He had taken his full part in the early days of both Cobalt and Porcupine. He died at Buffalo on June 24th, 1919. In the town baseball league ten years ago both the Hollinger and the Fireâ€" men won a match in the series during the week, the Firemen winning from the MciIntyre 14 to 5, and the Hollinâ€" ger defeating the Firemen a couple of evenings after, with the score 7 to 5. Charlie Sheehan pitched for the Mcâ€" Intyres, while D. McInnis, Lefty Farr and Geo. Lake in turn occupied the box on behalf of the Firemen. The lineâ€"up for the Hollinger included:â€" Jackson, Graham, MciIntyre, Weldon, Gerard, Carmichael, Kendall and Halâ€" ford. Firemen players included:â€"Mcâ€" Donald, Parker, Pierce, Farr, Belleâ€" veaux, Daher, Lake, Laflamme, Alton and McInnis. Ten years ago the Timmins Lacrosse Club was duly organized with the folâ€" lowing officers:â€"Honorary presidents, Dr. J. A. McInnis and Dr. H. H. Moore; president, Geo. A. Smith; viceâ€"presiâ€" dent, wW. M. Widdifield; secretaryâ€" treasurer B. E. Martin; manager, J. E. Wilson, chief of police: committee, J. A. Theriault, W. LaBrach, J. T. Easton. It was decided to have regular pracâ€" tices on the athletice grounds every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenâ€" ings. Two Austrians travelling nortn on the same train with Officer R. Allen some ten years ago were evidently so nervous at the presence of the officer that they roused his suspicions. He lifted up some of their baggage and shook it until it gave out a "gurgly" sound. Then he wired ahead for search warrants and so on, and when he went through the baggage at Porâ€" quis Junction the officer found a quanâ€" tity of liquor. He also found that the two Austrians had been travelling to and from Montreal without the reâ€" quired legal permission. On the charge of illegally having liquor other than their private dwelling house each of the two men paid $200.00, while for traâ€" velling without permit each of them contributed $50.00 and costs. At the regular meeting of the Tisâ€" dale township council ten years ago, the tender of A. Brazeau to make 600 cans of galvanized iron at a price of $2.00 each, for use as garbage cans, was accepted. On motion of Councillors Walton and Mackie, R. Talentino was awarded the scavenger contract for Ssouth Porcupine and the Dome, at $220.00 per month, this to include the burning of the dump and all other necessary work. The following poundâ€" keepers were duly appointed, after moâ€" tion by Councilllors Muskett and Walâ€" ton:â€"Rocco Talentino, for South Porâ€" cupine; George Cousineau, Schumachâ€" er:; Wm. Bailey, for Moneta and Gillies Lake: and poundâ€"keepers to retain all fees as allowed by the provincial law in the matrer. A heading in The Advance ten years ago said that the McIntyre had just completed the best year in its history. Reference was made in The Advance of June 25th, 1919, to the fatality at the Haileybury dock when Cecil Eplett, aged 17, Louise Watt, 19, and Alma Watt, 17, lost their lives by drowning, when an automobile driven by young Eplett ran off the wharf. Two others in the car were rescued from the water. From what could be surmised about the accident it appeared that the driver of the car attempted to turn the auto on the wharf while travelling at fair rate of speed, and that the car slid off the dock in the process. Mr. Fullerton, then head of the coloâ€" nization branch of the Ontario Dept. of Lands, Forests and Mines, was A visitor here ten years ago, and Dr. Mcâ€" Innis, mayor of Timmins, took advanâ€" tage of the occasion to urge upon him the necessity for some reasonable exâ€" penditure by the Government to reâ€" pair roads in existence and to build new ones. A young fellow giving the name of Harry Blackman complained ten years ago to J. E. Wilson, chief of police, that some one had broken the lock off the door between his room and that of anâ€" other boarder and stolen some clothes from him. He asked the police to inâ€" vestigate, and they did so. The young fellow got six months from the magisâ€" trate as a consequence, as it was proved that he was the one that broke the door stealing clothing from another roomer, and complaining to the police only to becloud the issue. McIntyre won the league football match, 3 to 2, from the Porcupineâ€" Dome, at Schumacher on June 18th. The game was closely contested one and all present agreed that though the Porcupineâ€"Dome were the losers they certainly put up a fine brand of footâ€" ball. The Schumacher grounds proved very difficult for the visitors, the two teams at times appearing to be lost in a cloud of sand and dust. Both teams worked hard, as did the rooters for both teams. A number from Timmins went over to see the game. McIntyre showed lots of ginger and played a fast game as well as having a regular winning attack. The Advance ten years ago had the follcowing item of interest:â€""Messrs. Geo. DeMagne and Jos. Mortenson, who have been conducting the Ideal Poolâ€" room and Rooming House, opposite the theatre, for the past two years last week sold out the building and business to Mr. J. Rochon, who formerly conâ€" ducted a theatre in Timmins in the early days. Mr. and Mrs. DeMagne and Mr. and Mrs. Mortenson intend to leave here in a few weeks for their old home in Belgium. They are among the early residents of the Porcupine camp, Mr. DeMagne being especially wellâ€"known in the old Golden City days. They will be much missed here in many circles, but any from this disâ€" trict having occasion to visit Belgium will hereafter feel that they have good friends there that they know to show them round and help them in any way." Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘"‘Mr. Thos. A.

"In a letter to a friend in town Mr. Ivan C. Stadelman, now living in Brantford, Ontario, but formerly conducting Stadâ€" elman Co.‘s store in Timmins, sends best regards to his friends and acâ€" quaintances here. The letter also inâ€" cidentally refers to the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Stadelman are now the proud parents of a fine son and heir." "Speaking of the record flight across the Atlantic by Capt. Alcock and Lieut. A. W. Brown in sixteen hours, Friend Irish Pete now suggests a weekâ€"end trip from Porcupine to Belfast, leaving here Saturday getting halfâ€"seasâ€"overâ€" seas, and being back at work in the mines for the first shift in Monday." "Mr. Tngelo Guisseppi was the winner of the two beautiful handâ€"made centreâ€" pieces made by Mrs. G. Robertson, of Haileybury. Mrs. Robertson‘s husband has been ill for a year or more and she has been doing fancy work of this kind in the minutes that could be spared from attention to him. Friends here took the plan of drawing for a couple of these centrepieces and goodly sum was raised." "The Miners‘ Union in THE FORD CAR SIXâ€"BRAKE SYSTEM See New and Used Cars at Showroom opposite Post Office, Schumacher or at 86 Third Avenue, Timmins, or phone 960 for a Demonstration WE CARRY COMPLETE LNE GENUINE FORD PARTS HE greatest safety feature on any autoâ€" . mobileâ€"the braking system â€"has been developed on the Ford car to a degree that insures absolute driving confidence. Being fully enclosed, the internal expanding brakes on all four wheels are free from any danger of impaired performance from mud, sand, road dirt, grease or other foreign matter entering the mechanism or between the bands and drum. The four wheel system is operated by a foot pedal, while the emergency or parking system of two brakes, one on each rear wheel, is distinct and separate, operated by a hand lever. This added security is made possible through the unique design of the Ford steel spoke wheels to which drums are fitted to accommodate two sets of internal brakes on the rear wheels. > The smooth, even braking of the Ford car yields more aavantages than maximum safety at all times, since it makes tires last longer and adds immeasurably to riding ease and driving comfort.
