\(We Pay for Ashes In Tisdale township ten years ago there was a lively municipal election battle. There were six nominated for reeve of Tisdale, these being:â€"J. E. Couk, C. V. Gallagher, J. B. Hutchison, J. E. Boyle, C. B. Morgan, and B. M. Walton. Only the first three decided to stand.

Kimberley, Fred La Forest, R. Caverley, Jules St. Paul, S. Kennedy, B. M. Walton, C. B. Morgan, T. A. Strain, John Murtagh. Only two of the 1919 council stood for election for 1920, J. B. Hutchison contesing the reeveâ€" ship and J. S. Muskett standing for the council.

AT LOWEST RATES The Advance ten years ago said:â€"â€" "Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Evans, of South Porcupine, were called to Cobalt last week owing to the sad death of Miss Mary Evelyn Donaldson, sister of Mrs. Evans. Miss Donaldson was woll known in Timmins having visited here At the municipal nominations in Timmins in 1919 there was a very quiet time. For mayor for 1920 only one name, that of Dr. J. A. McIinnis, mayor for 1919, was submitted, and accordâ€" ingly Dr. McInnis was duly declared reâ€"elected as mayor by acclamation. There were ten nominated for seats on the council. These were:â€"E. L. Longâ€" more, L. S. Newton, J. W. Fogg, D. Laâ€" prairie, W. De Feu and J. M. Studor, and A. Brazeau, J. K. Moore, J. E. Sullivan and R. Vollet.

The other members on the public school tboard were:â€"E. S. Noble, M. B. Scott, and B. E. Martin. Ten years ago a young man, Clemine Therrien, met death at the Mattagami Pulp Paper Co. camp about twelve miles up the river. He was with a gang of men engaged in felling trees. One tree was cut through and fell resting on another tree. When this second tree was cut, the two trees fell on a third and before the third tree was comâ€" pletely cut, it too fell, the three trees each going separate ways. Therrien was struck by one of the falling trees, death resulting from the injuries reâ€" ceived. Therrien was only about 19 or 20 years of age. His home was in Queâ€" bec. A coroner‘s jury considered the evidence in the case, and a verdict of accidental death was returned. It was stated at the time that while due care had been exercised by all concerned, inâ€" cluding the young man himself, the peculiar way in which the three trees fell caused the tragedy. At the police court here ten years ago there were several cases of men chargâ€" ed with the illicit making of booze. It developed at the trials that the homeâ€" brew liquor was none too good and so the offence of selling such stuff apâ€" peared to be a double one: Magistrate Atkinson pointed out that there were altogether too many breaches of the Ontario Temperance Act and that hereafter he intended to impose jail terms on those who sold illicit liquor. these helpful classes Night Phones Timmins, Ont. 151. Golden Beaver and Porcupine Maâ€" sonic lodges had a joint installation of officers at the Masonic hall, Timmins, on Dec. 27th, 1919., Wor. Bro. C. G. Williams, D.D.GM., was the Installing Master and he was assisted by Past Masters Geo. R. Vary, R. Simms, Grill and Bannerman. The following were the officers installed for Porcupine Lodge:â€"W. M.

As may be surmised from references in these columns recently there was an agitation under way ten years ago forl the inducing of the province to sell the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario; Railway to the Dominion of Canada to. become part of the National Railways system. The Advance fought the idea with all the power it possessed. The Advance pointed out that while, as some people suggested, the sale might complete the National Railways it would just about "finish" the North as well. The T. N. O. was built as a colonizing road with the one big purâ€"| pose of developing the North. That purpose might have been lost sight of , perhaps, but if the railway were sold. it would be lost forever. The Advance referred to the advantage to the rest of OQnario through the development of . the North, trade and commerce being originated and new wealth created to the special advantage of the South. "Taken all together," said The Ad-} vance, "the people of the North will do. well to make it known that their idea is to improve the T. N. O., but never to let it go." ® | I I I In the last days of December 1919, mining recorders throughout the proâ€" vince received instructions from Hon. H. Mills, the Minister of Mines, to exâ€" tend the time for relief from forfeiture or loss of rights in the case of returned soldiers holding mining claims. The extension was for another year. A similar relief had been given from year to year from 1917. The Advance in noting the extension said:â€""The Minâ€" ister of Mines would be taking a furâ€" ther commendable step if he considâ€" ered ways and means for more assisâ€" tance to the returned men. The counâ€" try will be fully with him in any and every move to make the path of the returned soldier easier. The soldier who was a miner or a prospector pracâ€" tically lost the time spent on service for King and Country so far as that time concerned his mining claims and interests, and any assistance that may be given to offset this special loss will be appreciated by the general public, as well as by the soldiers who may receive the advantage." Ten years ago the Cobalt Citizens‘ Liberty League wired Hon. W. E. Raney, Attorneyâ€"General in the Farmer Govâ€" ernment, saying they would be delightâ€" One of the largest crowds ever at a dance in the Porcupine camp turned out for the G. W. V. A. dance in the theatre basement on Christmas night, 1919. The attendance was estimated at about 400. All present had a deâ€" lightful time, despite the fact that everything was naturally very crowded. The dance was one of a series planned by the G. W. V. A. to be held every two weeks during the winter. The Emâ€" pire theatre orchestra supplied the muâ€" sic for the occasion. The dance proâ€" grammes, bearing the crest of King Christmas, were in the form of a pass, grant‘ng all attending "leave" from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. for a good time. The dances were all given military terms, the effects thus being most amusing as the terms had been very cleverly selected. Another sad death that had to be chonicled in the same issue of The Adâ€" vance ten years ago was that of the bright little fiveâ€"yearâ€"old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Robitaille, Fourth avenue. This youngster, Valida, was ill only a week. At first it was thought the child was suffering only from the ‘henâ€"prevalent mumps, but later the doctor found that the child was a vicâ€" tim of influenza. The body was taken to Cobalt for interment. }on several occasions and also being for some months on the Timmins freight _oflice staff. The news of the death was received here with sincere regret and sorrow, and much sympathy is exâ€" tended to the bereaved family and near friends in their loss. Miss Molly Donaldson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Donaldson, of Glen Alâ€" mon, Que., and at the time of death she was in her twentyâ€"fifth year. Her death is the first break in the family circle, there being eleven other childâ€" ren in the family. Miss Donaldson had been in poor health for some time. A few months ago she went to Rochester, Mnnesota, for medical treatment, and later consulted specialists in Philadelâ€" phia. A few days before her death she underwent an operaton at but despite the skill and attention given her she passed away on Christmas Day. The remains were brought to Cobalt on Monday of this week and the funerâ€" el took place from the residence of her brother, W. J. Donaldson, on Tuesday afternoon. Service was held in the Presbyterian church and interment was made at Haileybury. The large attenâ€" dance at the funeral and the number of beautiful floral tributes were evidences of the popularity and esteem in which the late Miss Donaldson was held and the sincere sympathy felt for those beâ€" reaved by her death." 1 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Tisdale council ten years ago was continuing its fight to stop thieving from express parcels along the T. N. was a considerable amount of this thieving and it was a source of serious annoyance and loss. The thefts were chiefly of liquor, scarcely a parcel coming through to these parts without one bottle or more being missing from each package. The guilty parties were known to the Tisdale council but on account of their position it was difficult to get a cast against them, let alone a conviction. The Tisdale council, howâ€" ever, kept up the agitation against the practice until eventually it was stopped. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""W. M. Widdifield was in Cochrane this week on business." "J. Perrault left this week to join Mrs. Perrault who has been spending the holiday season at New Liskeard, Hailâ€" eybury and other points south." "J. 1.Collins, of the Hollinger staff, returnâ€" ed on Sunday‘s National from a thre> weeks‘ visit to his home in Weodstock |and other points south." _ "Effective | January 1st, 1920, the Hollinger Stores dry goods and furnishings departments | will close Saturday evening at 6 0o‘â€" |clock." "There will be a meeting of the Mountjoy Settlers‘ Association at John Power‘s hotel on Sunday, Jan. 4th, at 3 p.m." "On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24th, 1919, the little twoâ€"yearâ€"cld daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Hadley, of Schumacher, passed away, death being due to bronchial â€" pneumonia. Ths child was ill only about five days. The | sympathy of all will go out to the berâ€" leaved paren‘ts in their sad loss." "Mr. Ivan Stadelman came up on Sunday from Cobalt to join his family here, the latter having moved here recentiy. Mr. Stadelman has been in Cobalt for the past few weeks looking after his ‘brother’s store, his brother, L. Stadeiâ€" man, being in Ottawa where he underâ€" went an operation. The many friends ib-ack Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Stadelman to | the camp." "Miss K. Boyle is spending | the Christmas holidays at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Boyls, | Cobalt." "Hugh Stevens spent the Christmas holidays at his home in Toronto, returning to the camp on Sunday‘s National." "Visitors «. from Timmins to Toronto during ths holiâ€" , days called at the Toronto General hospital and had the oldâ€"timer, J. D MacLean cheer them up some. Jack is making good progzress to recovery from the operation of some weseks ago and hopes to return to the North Land early in the New Year." "Christmas Day was a happy one for the children |of the C.A.S. Shelter in Haileybury. There was 19 youngsters in the Shelter et the time and through the thoughtâ€" ‘ful kindness of D. L. Jemmett a fine | Christmas dinner was provided for the children. The Haileybury G.W.V.A. gave a $25.00 donation, and this enâ€" abled the Shelter to provid:> its childâ€" ren with a regular ‘scrumptious" Christmas tree with presents for each and every child." "Walter Ecclestone is spending the holidays at his home in Bracebridge and at other points south." "Neh Faulkenham, fur buyer, of Matheson, and an oldâ€"time prosâ€" ‘ pector of the North Land, was a visitor to the camp this week." of L.

At the time The Advance said that the wire was a warm one and assured Hon. Mr. Raney that in any such event he would certainly not have the disgrace of getâ€" ting the seat by acclamation. In reply Hon. Mr. Raney said he was not afraid of anybody or anything, anyhow, or words to that effect. The Advance at the time regretted that an electoral fight could not be staged in one cf ‘these ridings between Hon. Mr. Raney and some other man who would be sure to win no matter who he was. It would have been a battle that would have gone down in history for its inâ€" terest though the result would have been a foregone conclusion from the start. Let all hands help to see this road put on the map, not only in a thin red line, but in wellâ€"constructed roadbed, gravelled and riverâ€"bridged with steel and concrete in a style and manner befitting a section of the country that has supplied so many good dollars to our provincial treasury in timber limit sales and mining royalties. Respectfully yours JAS. H. DOEY. In reference to the above letter it may be said that while everybody in this North would like to see,â€"and hopes to see eventuallyâ€"fine straight roads like the one pictured by Mr. Doeyâ€"at the present moment the demand seems to be chiefly for roads for settlers. The first consideration now is for roads that will give settlers access to schools and markets and stores. First thought will naturally be given to those stretches of road that will serve the most settlers in the smallest numbers of miles In advocating the direct route he proposes Mr. Doey would supâ€" port his case the more effectively if h> could give the number and location of the settlers who would be benefitied. Despite the fact that the attendance and receipts for the Timmins Charity Turkey Stag were conisiderably below last year while the list for the sending out of the boxes was larger than ever before, the affairs were so well conâ€" ducted that every single name on the list had a turkey sent them for Christâ€" mas, while a few who lived some disâ€" tance away also received boxes so as to prevent disappe‘ntment. After sending out the turkeys to all on the list and looking after as many as poSâ€" sible in the town anxd immediate disâ€" trict, the Charity PTurkey Stag was acâ€" tually able to pay all its indebtedness and conclude for the year with a small, though very small surplus, to the good. To be able to finance the event, despite all the drawbacks was very creditable. The manager of the event, "Lap" Laâ€" Prair‘e, is not discouraged or disheartâ€" ened, but in view of the fact that the feature was able to pull through this year is confident that next year‘s Charity Turkey Stag will be bigger and better than ever. CHARITY TURKEY STAG NOW HAS SMALL BALANCE TO GOOD . Dear Sir:â€"Remembering the kindâ€" ness with which my former letter met at your hands in your publishinz it re the Matheson and Shillington to Hoyle highway, in the interest of the travelling public I am going to venture another trespass on your patience reâ€" garding the same mattsr. While we appreciate the fact that much was done towards completing same as far as ths town line between German and Matheâ€" son townships, there is still much to be done before it is a finished job even that far. But, sir, taking into conâ€" sideration rumours of different alternaâ€" tive routes, this is rather a suspicious point at which to halt, as it is at this point that any other course than straight ahead would have to be The enclosed outline of other possibiliâ€" ties will help you to see the utter unâ€" satisfactoriness of any of these diverâ€" sions if the best interests of the whol: people are to be considered. First, while from this point Hoyle would be reached in 54 miles at the outside goâ€" ing straight ahead, the dotted line running north, zigâ€"zagging half mile back east to reach Connaught, countâ€" ing the zig and the zags, at least six miles, then to cross the Frederickhouse river by an already crowded bridge, then zigâ€"zagging another 104 miles to reach Hoyle. Next, you will notice another doited line leaving the first a‘ a point one and oneâ€"half miles north, leading one mile west and again one mile north, to connect up with the Porquis Junction to Timmins road at a point two miles east of Drinkwate: Pit. Now, sir, if th‘s route were folâ€" lowed it would necessitate the buildâ€" ing of a bridge just the same as it w.ll going straight on west, as either route has to cross the Frederickhouse river. Thus it could not be completed at any considerable saving in cost going that way and would only serve to crowd roads close together in that vicinity, leaving all the settlers present and prospective, in the section lying to the south just where they have been for many yearsâ€"without roads, without schools, without churches, and without the other conveniences of civilization. And there is also to be considered the saving «of time and expense to every car that wants to reach your towns, Porcupine, Schumacher and Timmins, and soon, we hope, Kamiskotia! At both the Goldfields theatre and th> New Empire theatre on Monday afternoon next, Dec. 30th, there will be a free matinse for children only. The event is available as a treat for the vounesters through the kindnes To the Edqditor of The Advance, Timmins some days ago The Advance recsived another letter from J. H. Doey, cf Shillington, in reference t> the proâ€" posed direct road from Shillington t Hoyle. With the letter he sends a diaâ€" gram showing the direct route and the alternate routes. This diagram â€"can not be repreoeduced in these columns but it may suffice to say that on the sketch Mr. Doey has noted the following data: From Shillington to Hoyle, direct, miles; from Shillington to Hoyle, via Drinkwater, 21 miles; via German and Matheson town line and Connaught, 28 miles:; via trail to Connaught, 26 miles In his leiter Mr. Doey says:â€" Direct Route Would be Only Seventeen and a Half Miles, Other Proposâ€" ed Roui‘cs Twentyâ€"one Miles or Over.
