In this riding of Oocixrgne there were three candidates: R. S. Potter, Conservative: Mrs. Theriault sang both French and English songs and as usual delighted her audience. Piano solos were given by Miss Campeau and Mr. J. A. Devaâ€" ney, and a piano duet by Miss Campâ€" eau and Miss Ratchford. These numâ€" bers were very much enjoyed.

There were about two hunâ€" dred present and everyone had a most enjoyable evening. There were 164 at the euchre tables and the play for the clegant prizes offered was interesting and keen. In addition there was a highâ€"class musical programme. Solos Richardson, Mrs. T. J. Lawlor, Mrs. Grimston, Mrs. Brigham, Mrs. Murâ€" phy, Mrs. Muskett, Mrs.: Cockburn, Mrs. Allaire, Mrs; H.

Capt.: Boal gave an interesting address on the work of the Navy League and congraâ€" tulated the branch here on its successâ€" Mrs. Grimstom that the branch here was named the Beresford branch in the first place. The officers for the Beresâ€" ford branch of the Navy League for 1919â€"20 were electedâ€"as follows:â€"preâ€" sident, Dr. McInnis; viceâ€"president, C. B. Morgan, South Porcupine; secretary, G. S.

Murâ€" One of the pleasing features of the annual meeting of the Admiral Beresâ€" ford (Porcupine) branch of the Navy League of Canada held at Timmins on Sept. 30th, 1919, was the nresentation to the branch by Mr. and Mrs. Digby Grimston of a beautiful autographed picture of Admiral Lord Beresford. Some months previously, Mr. Digby Grimston, who was personally acâ€" quainted with Admiral Beresford in the Old Coumtry, wrote to Lord Charles, telling him of the organizaâ€" tion at this far northern post of Emâ€" pire of a branch of the Navy League and suggesting that a photozraph of the famous seaman after whom the branch had been named would be very acceptable. Very promptly in return there came from ~Lord Beresford a kindly letter and a large autographed picture of himself. In his annual adâ€" dress to the branch here Dr. J. A. Mcâ€" Innis, the president, made appropriate reference to the kindly gift of Mr. and Mr3. Digby Grimston, and on motion of Mrs: Mclnnis, seconded by Rev. Capt. Boal, a hearty vote of thanks was passed unanimously to Mr. and Mrs. Grimston for their unique and pleasâ€" ing gift.

One ‘of the places burglarized here was the tailor shop of J. A. Theriâ€" ault and the other the candy and fruit store of N. Ferris.: So far as could be figured out by the owners the burglars did not take anything of value. The Advance gave some space in the same issue to references to the> peculiar burglaries at Haileybury where many stores, .residences and other . places were entered by night but little of value taken. There did not seem to be any sense or reason in these burglaries, Ten years ago two Timmins stores were burglarized. Nothing of any value was taken in either case. There than would have been the case with a larger fire in progress among larger buildings. The loss to Mr. Hawley, however, was a serious one, there being no insurance, and the house and conâ€" tents being a total loss. A spark from the chimney was thought to have startâ€" ed the blaze. Before the fire was disâ€" covered it had attained too much headâ€" way to be curbed, though the Schumaâ€" cher brigade did good work in fighting (At. Last week The Advance noted that the Community Chautauquas had been,. engaged to appear at the Goldfields theatre next season. This was not exâ€" actly correct. the place for next seaâ€" son‘s Chautauquas being in reality the New Empire theatre. By odd coincidâ€" ence just ten years ago the Chautauâ€" quas appeared at the New Empire theatre. It was the Dominion Chauâ€" tauquas and while the event was good it was not considered as fine as that other Canadian Chautauquas, the Community Chautauquas, . appearing here a couple of weeks ago. On Sept. 30th, 1919, between seven and eight o‘clock, fire destroyed the home of Mr. James Hawley, behind the school house at Schumacher. The blaze was noted from Timmins where many thought a very big fire must be in evidence at Schumacher as the blaze was a notable one. Mr. Hawley‘s home however, was ncot a large house, but being in the middle of an open space the flames showed to a greater distance Fogg of the Timmins council to invesâ€" tigate and report on the matter of a joint incinerator for the two municiâ€" palities. The township council had seventyâ€"seven â€" applications for the psition of night constable at South Porcupine. . _ New Liskeard, Ont. â€"Says Practy Cal in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘"‘Mrs. Digby Grimston reâ€" turned this week from a few months‘ holiday spent in the West." "Mrs. E. J. McDonald and family have reâ€" turned from . Scotia where they have been visiting relatives and friends for the past three months. Mr. Mcâ€" The Advance ten years ago to the forâ€" mation of a Northern Ontario hockey league planned to be organized. The Ilea:ue afterwards known as the Norâ€" , Reference was made at length in thern Ontario Hockey Association (N. O.H.A.)., was suggested as to be comâ€" posed of three groups which The Adâ€" vance outlined as follows:â€"1, Sudbury and North Bay; 2, Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard; 3, Timmins, Holâ€" linger, Cochrane and Iroquois Falls. Aâ€"mesting was called for Oct 9th at Cobalt to proceed with the organizaâ€" tion. ‘The Advance said that hockey fans ,in .Timmins weare enthusiastic |about the proposal and there was also sreat interest all through the North. The Advance ten years ago said:â€". "Mayor McKinnon, of Cobalt, is makâ€" ing special efforts these days to have arrangements made for the Prince of Wales to spend at least a halfâ€"day in Cobalt. At present it is understood that His Royal Highness will visit Coâ€" balt and Timmins on the same day and it was not expected that this plan would allow for more than an hour‘s stay in Cobalt. Mayor McKinnon beâ€" lieves that this is not enough time to see all beauties and oddities of Cobalt and so is seeking to have the royal party stay a longer time at the Silver Town. Mayor McInnis is also in comâ€" munication â€" with Admiralâ€" Halsey reâ€" garding the Prince‘s visit to Timmins, and is doing all possible to assure that the prince will have proper opportuniâ€" ty to see the wonders of this great gold ; Ten years ago The Advance said:â€" The Hollingor Stiores are now selling all goods at a fiat reduction of 15 per cent. from the prices formerly charged by the McLaughlin and Gordon, stores. In anncuncing this policy the Hollinâ€" gser Stores said: The reasomn for the purchase of the McLaughlin and J. R. Gordon stores by the Hollinger Mine was to reduce the cost of living for its _ employees. Selling provisions at cost does not give the desired reduction. It is the intention to sell goods at a flat reduction of 15 per cent. from the prices formerly charged by the Gordon and McLaughlin stores In many cases this is less then cost. We do not wish to take a profit from our emâ€" ployees.: Coupons will replace t.hei cards which have been issued to emâ€" ployees. Turn in your cards. Couponsf will be sold by the paymaster at the mine at a reduction of 15 per cent." this said:â€""So, Mr. W. A. Field, an Emnglishman, was chosen to referee. He was competent and fair as usual, though humorously he was accused of winning the game for his countrymen by the score of 2 to 1, for the Scotch could not see how they otherwise could have lost. The teams were as follows: Elnglishâ€"-l“earn, goal; Prangley, Norâ€" they, Lynn, McClushey, Neal, Corris, Hall, Garoux, Miner, Sweet. Scotsâ€" Kincaid, goal; W. Black, McGregor, Ewart, A.

Among the local and personal items breaking into places until he hie got one. t in T were. someâ€" thinglikethoseinflafleyburybutme ‘Advance suggested that a different man and a different motive was concerned here, t.hough what the motive might be was difficult to fathom. The police some years later were able t3 solve these burglaries, and the odd fact in resard to the two burglaries in Timâ€" mins was that they were actually carâ€" ried out "just for practice" by some young men who planne1 to enter upon a life : of crime, induced to this misâ€" guided action by evil literature they were devouring at the time. / Ten years ago a picked team of Scotsmen from the various foothall teams of the district played a picked team of Englishmen, the match being played on the Timmins athletic grounds. Despite unfavourable weaâ€" ther there was a large attendance and the game was one of the most interesting of the season. A Welshman had been engaged to act as referee but failed to | show up.

The latter told a story that did not quite agree with itseH{ in all parâ€" ticulars. One witness told of the lad‘s father taking him to the hiding plage of a mudâ€"stained rifle which is thought to be the weapon with which the dead lad was wounded. It is believed that the youngster, after shosting his chum, became afraid, hid the rifie and kept the whole matter a secret until quesâ€" ' tioned by a police officer investigating the finding of the dead boy.

Only after a fourâ€"hour desperatse fight by a volun teer force, augmented by North Bay, was Powassan saved from threatened destruction by fire on Wednesday of last week. In all six buildings were destroyed, the loss runâ€" ning around $10,000.00. The cause of the fire has not been determined, but the blaze was first noticed in Jessup‘s sarage. The filames spread to T. S. Trenouth‘s general store and then to the Temperance Hotel. Excellent work was done by the volunteer firemen, the rangers .who gave particularly effecâ€" tive help, and later by Fire Chief Brady and a squad of firemen from North Bay. Before the blaze could be conquered, however, the residence of D. Fawcett, the tailor shop of F. Preâ€" derick and the warehouse of A. L. Perkus and Co. were destroyed by the. fire.. All of the buildings were on the main street of the town, and there was a time when it appeared as if the whole village might be wiped out, but the good work of the fireâ€"fighters averted this. It was the Powassan Fall Fair day and there was a crowd of visitors in town that meant almost the doub!â€" ing o‘ the normal population of the town for the day. s In closing the meeting, .the chairâ€" man stated,. that considerable money had been promised by those in attendâ€" ance and if the absentese shareholders would do as well the company was asâ€" sured of ample funds to take care of present and future needs.
