We SmE s Oe uC Ten years ago hockey was featured in Timmins. The Porcupine Hockey Association, in affiliation with the newâ€" lyâ€"organized Northern Ontario Hockey Asseciation, had an executive meeting on Nov. 3rd. in the office of J. W. Fogg. Those present included:â€"C. G. Wilâ€" lHams, president; G. S. Lowe, viceâ€"presâ€" ident; W. M. Widdifield, secretaryâ€" treasurer; J. Sullivan, representing the McIntyre team ; L. Smith, the Hollinger and G. Spence, the town team. The local boundaries for Timmins, MciInâ€" tyre and Hollinger were decided upon as from the Mattagami river to the Rea hill and that players in this area could elect which team they would play with. Another decision was that qualified players have the right right to sign at any time during the season, but signing with more than one club without due release would disqualify the player. Players participating in one or more games could not transfer to another team in the league without the unaniâ€" mous consent of the executive. The official trophy for the league was to be the Dickson cup. There was also special activity in regard to the local hockey team. The Timmins Hockey club was duly organized ten years ago The story of the organization was told in The Advance of Nov. 12th, 1919, as follows:â€"‘‘There was a wellâ€"attended mecting this week of the Timmins Hockey fans to organize for this seaâ€" son. W. M. Widdifield was voted to the chair to preside over the meeting, and H. W. Hooker was appointed seâ€" cretary pro tem. The first business taken up was the election of officers for the season as follows:â€"Honorary preâ€" sidents, Rev. Fr. Theriault, Dr. H. H Mcore, H. J. Marshal; president, H. C. McDonald, manager Timmins branch Imperial Bank; viceâ€"presigent, J. Perâ€" yault; secretaryâ€"treasurer, H. W. Hookâ€" er; executive commuiitee, Pire Chiet Bortand, Geo. S. Drew, Dr. J. H. Scott T.

There will be a mecting of the executive of the town club this (Wednesday) afterâ€" nson at 5 o‘cleck in the fire hall." Roference was made ten years ago to the progress of the Victory Loan camâ€" paign of 1919. In the first week over seventy per cent. of the whole district‘s objective was reached. Timmins, howâ€" ever, made a still more noteworthy reâ€" cord, making 141 per cent. of its objecâ€" tive, but Schumacher did even better than that, reaching 155 per cent. of its objective. The Advance listed the various amounts reached by the variâ€" ous teams of the district, showing the work was progressing. Ten years ago the condition of Jack MacLean, who was in Toront> for speâ€" cilal surgical and medical treatment, was one of the special matters of inâ€" terest here, Jack being one of the most popular citizens of the town and disâ€" trict. The Advance made several reâ€" ferences, the following being among the paragraphs printed:â€""Writing to Fire Chief Borland from the Toronto There were sad notes to be made as well as pleasing ones, as may be seen from this paragraph from The Advance of Nov. 12th, 1918:â€""On Thursday last the home of Mr. Sanford Gardiner at Swastika was destroyed by fire and the baby boy of the household, aged 1 year and 8 months, perished in the flames. Mrs. Gardner left the house for a short time on an errand, and when returning home she met her fiveâ€" year old son some distance from the house, the little fellow excitedly telling his mother that their house was on fire. The mother hurried home to find the house a blazing and unapproachable mass of flames.* Later the body of the baby boy was found among the ruins of the burned house." Fourth Avenue In view of this being the hunting seaâ€" son, a reâ€"printing of part of an articls on moose hunting as published in The Advance ten years ago may be agres: able to all. In this article The Advance recountesd a number of stories about a group of hunters including Ben Lyons Art Young, Jack MaclLean, Fred Sexâ€" ton, Jack Boyd and others. One was at the expense of Jack Boyd who was thrown int> the water when both be and the Indian guide suddenly Clecidâ€" ed to have a shot at a big mooss that appeared unexpeciedly as they wers padâ€" dling down ths river. The men got wet but the mosse got away. Another yarn was about Fred Sexton shovting at a monster moose about 100 yards away from him and standing full broadside to him. At the first shot the moxe twitched its ears. At the second shoat the moose tuitched its ears again. In the words of The Advance: "Four more shots were fired by Fred at that motionless moose and then the moose deliberately walked away, abâ€" solutely unhurt except in its pride oi race. The rest of the hunting parily are unanimous in acclaiming the veritâ€" whle genius of Fred Sexton as a shot. Any one of us (each man admitted) [could miss a moose like that once ofr twice or even three times but every one of us knows in his heart of hearts he could not fire six shots point blank at the beast and miss every time:; Only Fred could do a trick like that." Anc again to quote in full from The Adâ€" vance, here is the best story of the group:â€""But the best little true story of all is at the expense of the whole party, the old guide included. One night they were plugging up the Grasâ€" sie when night overtook them and they made their camp on a small island. They passed away the wearisome hours of the night by swapping yarns taller than the gloomy timbers on the shores nearby. When it grew so dark that they could not see the point in each other‘s stories, Art Young began to explain that he knew the secret of callâ€" inz moose. ‘"*You could call all night," says Ben, "but the moose would only answer Nobody Home." "Well you just see and hear and be convinced," perâ€" sisted Art. Then he made weird, haunting, mooseâ€"like sounds in his throat. For a few moments only the silence answered. But soon there was a crashing and a smashing on the nearby shores. The moose were anâ€" swering the call, answering gladly, anâ€" swerinz madly. It was too dark to see the animals with any distinctness, but there was no doubt of their being there. They had rushed with a venâ€" grance, indsed, to answer the call of what each monstrous moose no doubt believed to be the call of his longâ€" sought mate, none of them up to that time being personally acquainted with Art Young. As the moose smashed and tore their headâ€"long way to answer the soulâ€"stirring call, the hunting party gave silent but sincere thanks that they were sa‘> on an island where they could f General Hospital, in response to a reâ€" quest from Mr. J. D. MacLean, deputy fire chief, one of the nurses says:â€" "The operation was performed on Thursday, Oct. 30th. It was a very serious major operation and he has suffered severe pain since, but his conâ€" dition is very favourable and he hopes to be able to write some time soon." ot be rushed upon and trampled over Timmins, Ont. Radio V alue THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Among the local and personal itams in The Advance ten years ago are the following:â€""‘The Curtis Drug Co. arse conducting a Christmas voting contest, with three cash prizes offered the boys and girls, the first prize being $25.00 the second $15.00, and the third, $10.0). It is a sort of popularity contest decidâ€" ed by vote." ‘"The success of the 1918 Victory Loan campaign is absclutely necessary to combine prosperity with peace." ‘"Mr. D. Ostrosser recently moved in to his new residence on the hill, purchased some weeks ago from Mrs. W. H. Wilson." "Readers should remember that the bidding on the stove at the Taylor Hardware closes on Nov. 15th. The Taylor Hardware has placâ€" ed a fine $60.00 range to be sold to the highest bidder. Anyone can bid any amount on the stove and highest bid takes the stove after Nov. 15th. "His innumerable friends in town will be delighted to hear that Mr. J. D. Macâ€" Lean is making very satisfactory proâ€" gress to complete recovery under the medical treatment being given in the General hospital at Toronto. Last week Jack underwent an cperation that brought gratifying results and he nas been making even better progress since that operation. It was intended in this operation to insert a section of bone in the spine to repair injuries there, but during the cperation it was found that this grafting would not be necessary, as Jack‘s vitality and reâ€" cuperative powers had been of such order that during his stay in the hosâ€" pital under treatment the injured bone had healed itself and thus laid the way clear for an early recovery without the expected delicate grafting operation." "In the Victory Loan campaign Mr Kitchen, of Schumacher, made a reâ€" cord last week. He is chairman of the canvassing committee for Schumacher and the town‘s objective being set at $5,000 he more than made the oabjective early last week, his return on Tuesday evening totalling over $5,100.00. And he is still "on the job," tempted now, perhaps, to make a new objective for himself. As the McIntyre team will canvass the greater part of the people of Schumacher, it as naturally believâ€" ed that the town itself could not be expected to give very large contribuâ€" tions to the Victory Loan apart from what would come under the McIntyre team. Mr. Kitchen, however, set the right sort of example in the matter and if all the other teams achieve their objective and then keep right on, then this district will win a big victory in the 1919 Victory Loan campaign.." "‘Mrs E. Stevens left last week for a visit to Waverley, Mass., USA.,, and other points south." "It is understcod that Irsquois Falls intends to erect a fine new closed skating rink this year in readiness for the se»son‘s hockey." "Mr. R. T. Shillingtor . of Hailleybury, was a visitor to the camp last week Mr. Shillington left this week fcr Texas to visit the oil fields tiere in which he is interested." ‘"Duncans Limited, wholesale dealers in fruits, vegetables, confecticnery, etc., have movel into their new premises in the Lawrence block, opposite the post office. Watch for their advertisement in these columns next week." "Messrs Jos. Treco and Pete Blondino are reported as having been drowned in Kirkland Lake on Saturday. They failed to apâ€" pear after setting out to cross the lake by the roused moose that could be neither seen nor shot nor stopped, on account of the dense darkness. But the party prayed their thankful prayâ€" ers too soon. The water between their island and the mainland was not deep as they believed, and soon the moose were splashing through it, fast and furious, in answer to the call of tha Young. In a moment they were on the island, heading straight for the party of huriters. One man was so alarmed that he dropped his gun and ran. Ncne of them many have climbed any trees, but yet they were all soon up in the air. The moose soon found that the call was a spurious one, and back ‘hey hastened to the mainland, never to be fooled again until the next timeâ€" they are just that much like human beings. "We must be more careful," they said in the msose language," there is a lot of this vampinz business going on these days." Then the hunters took Art Young quietly but firinly to ons side of the island. "Now, see here," thay said to him, "whenever we are having a moose hunting party on an island or anywhere else, you will be very, very welcome there, of course, but pleasse, never, never, never, NEVER, ‘call again when we are there."

Blondino is a brother of Mrs. Treco, so if the men were drowned as it is now feared they are, Mrs. Treco will be doubly berâ€" eaved by the tragedy, losing both her husband and her brother." "At the Division Court sittings here last Thursâ€" day in the Union Hall there were 37 cases coming before Judge Hayward. Practically all of the cases were regardâ€" ing outstanding debts. Four of the cases were adjourned to next court, the others being duly disposed of." "Mr. R.

DIAMOND DRILL SHIPPED TO LA SARRE PROPERTY A despatch from Cochrane last week says that exploratory diamond drilling will start within a few days on the claims of Clermont Mines, Limited, a new organization with headquarters at Quebec City. The property is located about 12 miles north of La Sarre Staâ€" tion, on the Canadian National Railâ€" ways, east of this point. The drill was shipped from Sudbury last week by Smith Travers and should arrive at the property this week.
