Fortunately, the water presâ€" Ten years ago Timmins had a fire that did over $30,000.00 damage before it was finally conquered through the gosd work of Fire Chief A. Borland and his firemen. The fire was noticed firs© at 4 a.m. on Dec. 2nd, 1919, smoke being ssen coming from the fancy goods store of E. A. Terrill, Third avenue, oposite Dr. Minthorn‘s. Apparently the fire originated in the Terrill building but whether upstairs or down was not known. W. Costello who had a room above the Terrill store was able to escape only with the clothes that he hastily donned after being wakened by the smoke. The firemen made a prompt response to the alarm but when the brigade arrived the fiames had a strong hold. The light frame construction of the buildings made ‘them easy and rapid prey for the flames. At one time it looked as if the Ideal Pool Room and Rooming House would go also, and the occupants took out everything they had in readiness for eventualities. In the event of the Ideal taking fire, the | scome insurance. The building occupied | by J. A. Theriault‘s tailor shop and ‘Fat‘s lunch, and owned by Mr. Theriâ€" iault, was also badly Gamaged, being burned to some extent and injury also |caused by smoke and water. Mr. !'I'heriaul't was able to save his stock and some of the fixtures. There was some insurance on this building. For a ‘considerable time it was thought that | the building owned by J. R. Gordon ‘and occupisd by E. H. Bridger‘s staâ€" % tionery and music store downstairs and the Oddfellows‘ hall upstairs would be ‘saved from the flames. The blaze, crept along the joists from | ons building to another and though the firemen made desperate efforts to curb |it, the upper part of the building was \ destroyed by the fire. The Oddfellows | lost fittings and regalia worth $1,500 or more, with only part of the loss covered ‘by insurance. The Rebekahs also lost I considerably. The LOL had their . property in a room that escaped damâ€" \age. Mr. Bridger was A particularly \heavy loser by the fire. Although ‘\there was no fire in his part of the | building, except in the ceiling from the | flames above, the whole stationery and fancy goods stock was a complete loss. Kingston Hotel would have been in grave danger, the buildings being so clese and not of very fireâ€"resisting structure. The Marshallâ€"Ecclestone building was also in jeopardy though its sheet iron covering proved of value in turning the fire danger. In fact, the whole block was in danger and only the good work of the fire brigade averted what would have been a much more serious fire. At that all work had to be done in a bitterly cold temperature, that felt like 40 below, and was actualâ€" ly from 20 to 27 below. The water froze instantly on clothing. Several of the brigadse had ears and hands frozâ€" many of them working even withowt mitts at first. Mr. Brovender, of the Chas. Pierce Sons store saw that all ‘the men were all supplied with mitts. not appear to have ordinary effect on the fire. However, the persistent work of the briagde eventually won out after many hours of hard effort. The build â€" ings occupied by Terrill‘s store and Smith‘s lunch were destroyed by the fire. The occupants lost practically everything they had, with listle insurâ€" sure was good, but as usually happens in intense cold weather the water did 'v.i“'x equax effectiveness and E‘mu Taranto, the violinist, meaau'ed \up to the great reputation he has made ‘in the world of music, His part on the programine was a delight to all. | Alfred Carriere made a very material * contribution to the striking success of treat that was greatly appreciated by the people of Timmins and district, \and all were sincerely grateful to Rev. Theriault, through whose kind ofâ€" fees the visit of these artists was aArâ€" ranged. In referring to the event The | Advance at the time said:â€""Paul Duâ€" fault was given a regular ovation at ‘each appearance. He has a wonderful tenor voice, rich and expressive, ard with a clear and perfect enunciation ‘that gives an added charm to his musiâ€" \cal talent. He was happy in the varieâ€" tyâ€"and scope of his selections. In "The Trumpeter‘ he was indeed wonderful. He sang in English, French and Italian ance carried. These buildings were owned by P. McCormick who carried This included above $2,400.00 of Christâ€" mas goods he had just put into stock. Mr. Bridger had only $1300.00 insurâ€" ance, so his loss ran into the thousands. I; was estimated that the total loss from buildings and stocks would reach between $30,000.00 and $35,000.00. Timmins had the pleasure ten years ago of a visit from the noted Canadian tencr, Paul Dufault, who was accomâ€" panied here by the talented violinist, Emil Taranto, and the equally gifted pianist, Alfred Carriere. The recital given by these three outstanding artists in the New Empire theatre was a musiâ€" the evening s by his gi‘ted work as C3 pilanist and accompanist." The following was part of one of the front page articles in the Advance ten years ago:â€"wW. M. Widdifield was the representative for Timmins Hockey club at the meeting of the executive of the NOH.A. at Cobalt on Saturday. The chief matter finally decided at the meeting was that the N.O.H.A. should this year be divided into three groups. North Bay, Sudbury and Sault Ste, Marie will be the southern group; Coâ€" balt, Haileybury and New Liskeard, the central group; and the northern group will be Timmins and Iroquois Palls, The winners of the three groups will play off for the championship. All games in the northern group will be at Timmins, as TIroquois Palls has no covered rink." Ten years ago The Advance gave conâ€" siderable space to advance publicity for "Boost the North" convention called for North Bay on January 15th, 1920. The Advance published letter from John Ferguson, mayor of North Bay, and J. W. Richardson, president of the board of trade there, in reference to the convention. The letter pointed out that Northern Ontario had not been receiving proper attention from the Governments. The policies adopted in regard to the vast resources of timber, minsrals and agricultural possibilities were not properly adapted to the North. Also, a further proportion of the reâ€" onue derived from the North should be spent in the North to develop thse North. Power development, transâ€" portation, education and taxation were cther matters referred to in the letter, and the convention had been called to have a general discussion on all these matters by representative citizens of the North. While heartily supporting the idea of the convenmtion as a means of giving publicity to the grievances of the North Land, The Advance pointâ€" ed out that to this paper it seemed that such a convention should be held in some typically North Land town like Cobalt, Haileybury, New Liskeard, Timmins or Cochrane, and not in Nonth Bay which was really a replica of the ordinary downâ€"South town. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were tne following:â€"*"D. D. Chisholm has been awarded the contract for drilling on the Adanac and his machines are al-’ ready on the property ready for thel work." ‘"Dr. Gagnon, V.S., of Haileyâ€" bury, was in town on professional busiâ€" ' ness last Thursday. It will be of speâ€" cial interest to owners of horses here to know that Dr. Gagnon will make regular monthly visits to Timmins, as. well as answering any spsecial calls ati any time." "After longâ€"drawnâ€"out. litigation over alleged discrimination | azainst Cobalt by the Temiskaming Telephone Company, the company was recently refused the right to appeal to. the Privy Council. The dispute has been fought through the various courts in this country and was finally carried to England by the company. The reâ€" sult above noted would suggest that the long legal battle is over and that the final win is for the town of Cobalt." "The students Oof Haileybury High School have decided upon "Hailâ€"O" as the name for their new school paper." "Mr. A. G. Luxton is at Haileybury this week where he is one of the jurymen at the District Court and General Sesâ€" sions of the Peace." "Mr. and Mrs. G. 8. Lowe left on Friday for Kitchener, owing to the serious illness of Mt. Lowe‘s brother, who, however, is naw reported as much improved in health." "In the report of the death of Benny Hollinger, ane of the Toronto newsâ€" papers referred to his discoavery of the famous Hollinger mine a; Cobalt. Such is fame, and such shows how certain Toronto papers can not come within 150 miles of the truth when writing of this North Land." "A new lodge of the Rebskahs was instituted at Haileybury last week. Mrs. N. J. McAulay is the first NG. of what will be officially known as Northern Lights Lcdge No. 201, Rebekahs.‘ "Ralph E. Sullivan, new superintendent of the Teckâ€"Hughes mill at Kirkland Lake, but formerly one of the popular oldâ€" timers at the Dome Mines, is expected back to the camp on Thursday of this week to renew @cquaintance with his many friends here." "Bornâ€"At tn:s Cottage hospital, Timmins, on Monday, Dec. 1st, 1919, to Mr. and Mrs. Dodge,â€" a daughter." "Good progress is being made in the work of preparing the Timmins skating rink for the season, and it is hoped to have the ice ready for the public use in the near future." "On Thursday last the Division Court held its last session at South Porcuâ€" pine. Henceforth all sessfons of the Division Court for this district will be held at Timmins." ‘"In the Firemen‘s second annual cribbage tournamen: last week F. H. King won the first prize and J. W. Wray the second. Chief Borland, who is some crib player himâ€" self, says that King is the King cribbage players, but the matter is beâ€" ing further tested out in another crib contest now iu progress, with King pegging away." "C. G. Williams has gone to Globe, Arizona, on a busing. trip and will be away about a month." "Mr. and Mrs. F. C. H. Simms left on Friday last for Toronto where Mrs. Simms will undergo medical treatmen. Mrs. Simms has been ill for some weeks and the attention of specialists was considered â€" advisable. Her many friends in Timmins and district will wish her a completée and speedy return to health." "Timmins has a new harâ€" ness shop, Mr. A.
