In those district hockey league games ten years ago no one ever had a chance to snatch a bit of sleep, nor did anyone, either on the teams or among the fans feel a bit like snoozing. There was something doing every minâ€" ute and it was all too good to miss. In the game noted above, ‘the following were the lineâ€"ups:â€"Hollingerâ€"Liberty, goal; Loughlin and Wyley, defence; Simms, Jacobs and Smith, forwards. McIntyreâ€"McIntyre, Briden, Gregory, Parker, Cauley, Cox. The spare for Hollinger was Jackson, while the McInâ€" tyre had two, Hicks and Levine. In the N.O.H.A. series ten years ago two overtime periods were necessary to decide a match between Iroquois Falls and the Porcupine in this group. "Iroâ€" quois Falls made their first win," said The Advance at the time, "and they deâ€" served to win on the brand of hockey they presented, though the Porcupine team put up lively contest and had some little hard luck. ‘The Falls playâ€" ers showed a startling inprovement in form and play compared to previous games here, but even at that the play was largely in front of the Falls goal, especially in the second and third periâ€" ods. The Falls‘ goaltender saved the situation for his team. Liberty, in goal for the Porcupine team, was very effective. McGuire, who had his knee injured in previous game, had to leave the ice before the game had been long in progress, and this, of course, had a very decided effect on the reâ€" sult. There was a crowd of about 900 at the rink here for the game. Iroâ€" quois Falls came over by special train, but this time they did not bring their brass band. The train developed enâ€" gine trouble and delayed the arrival of the team. Iroquois Falls had desirâ€" ed to have a referee and judge of play from Cobalt brought here for the game, and this being quite satisfactory to the Porcupine team, F. N. Smith was here as referee, and H. C. Kennedy as judge ofwplay. Their decisions gave general satisfaction. The play on both sides was free from roughness and any penalâ€" ties imposed were for minor offences. The teams lined up as follows:â€"Porâ€" 6 lbs. for CANADIAN ONIONS mih.t Pmd cupineâ€"Liberty, Loughlin, McGuire, Parker, Campbell, Brennan; Brown, Geo. Lake.

In the first of these overtime periods each team scored one, but in the second overtime the Falls alone scored, thus winning the game, 5 to 4." In The Advance ten years ago decidâ€" ed objection was taken to stories apâ€" pearing in Toronto and other outside newspapers in regard to probable laâ€" bour difficulties in Timmins and disâ€" trict in the spring. The Toronto newsâ€" papers pictured the labour union here as planning to stir up a big bunch of trouble, while The Advance pointed out that there was absolutely no grourds for talk of this sort, the mines and the men going along minding their own affairs and striving for coâ€"operation for mutual benefit. The Advance also pointed out that the wild tafk in the outside newspapérs had an evil effect, creating and rousing illâ€"will and disâ€" sension that need not be present at all. The Advance quoted the Secretary of the Porcupine Miners‘ Union as saying: "I don‘t know where the newspapers got such reports, but there has to my knowâ€" ledge been nothing to justify them. Anâ€" cther member of the union was quoted as saying:â€""We know our own affairs. We mind our own business. And we would thank a whole lot ofâ€" these troubleâ€"seeking outsiders if they would do the same." The Advance concluded its reference to the matter with the following paragraph:â€"The miners of the gold district are quite able to look after their own affairs They have shown before how easily any minor difâ€" ficulties may be adjusted by coâ€"operaâ€" tion and getting together. All is wen at the gold camp, and the Porcupine‘s advice to the outside troubleâ€"mongers is, "Tell the Truth, and Mind Your Own Business." On Feb. 3rd, 1920, there was a meetâ€" ing of the Timmins Board of Health precautionary methods were conâ€" sidered in regard to any possible danger of another influenza epidemic that year. The district had been comparaâ€" tively free from the "flu" for nearly a year, but the disease was in epidemic form in many places down south, and the idea here was to guard against any general spread of the disease in Timâ€" mins. The Timmins Board of Health adopted the same type of precautionary measufes as taken by the city of Toâ€" ronto in plans to avoid danger of epiâ€" demic form of the "flu." Fire at noon on Feb. 4th, 1920, desâ€"| troyed the fine big store and stocks of Marshallâ€"Ecclestone, Limited, corner of Third avenue and Pine street, Timâ€" mins, the loss occasioned being estimatâ€" ed at from $100,000.00 to $150,000.00.. Only a half of this loss was covered by insurance. Although the fire occurred at noon and The Advance was published shortly after noon, there was a lengthy report of the fire in the issue for the day. The report in part said:â€""Buildâ€" ing and contents were completely desâ€" troyed, floors falling through by half past twelve and the walls caving in ‘shortly after. The alarm of fire was turned in at about quarter to twelve and when the firemen arrived after their usual speedy response, the fire nad great headway and the dense volumes of smoke made fighting it a very difficult matter. The fire origiâ€" nated in the big new basement of the store from cause or causes unknown,| though there is a probable theory that it generated from spontaneous comâ€" bustion. It seemed to start among some oils and the store fire extinguishâ€" | ers were used upon it without the deâ€" sired effect. The blaze rapidly gained headway and the stifling smoke drove the staff from the basement. In a few. minutes more the store ground floor was so filled with smoke that the staff had to seek safety outside. A few minutes after the fire was discovered it had such headway, aided by the dense, suffocating fumes and smoke, that the place was doomed. The fireâ€" men put up an energetic and effective battle with the flames, but nothing could be done further than to prevent the spread of the fire to other buildings. In a short time three or four lines of hose were playing on the building at the most advantageous points. The naâ€" ture of the material stocked in a furniâ€" ture and hardware store, however, made the fireâ€"fighting very difficult. The dense smoke from oils, mattresses, etc., interfered with closeâ€"up fire fighting, though the firemen took chances on several occasions. The dense clouds of smoke and the very rapid spread of the fire made it impossible to save any of the stocks. There were none of the explosions feared by some, however. The gasoline tank is a safety one locatâ€" ed outside the store. The noise about half past twelve mistaken by many for Ten years ago The Advance referred to have two new theatres The Adâ€" vance did not believe the rumours would result in more than just rumours. Representatives of some of the big moâ€" Announcement was made in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago that arrangements had been completed with the Patheâ€" scope Company of Canada by the comâ€" mittee in charge of the dog race at Timmins to have a number of reels of film taken of the 1920 Porcupine Dog Team race. \ne 10. intended to take "movies" of other events and places in the district. es s ie‘ an explosions was caused by the colâ€" lapse of the secondâ€"storey floor which was strengthened by steel girders. At the time of going to press the fire is still burning but is completely under control, thanks to the hard and effecâ€" tive work of Chief Borland and his men. The Marshallâ€"Ecclestone store building was perhaps the best of » its ind in size, equipment and modern features in the North Land, and the stocks carried were unusually large. The basement of the modern type of concrete construction was recently exâ€" tended the full size of the building. The ground floor and second fioor also carried big stocks of hardware, furniâ€" ture, etc., while the third storey was used for apartments for members of the staff." tion picture houses in Canada did visit the camp but after investigation and consideration decided that Timmins would not support further motion picâ€" ture shows. In The Advance of Feb. 4th, 1920, reâ€" ference was made to the death of Wm. Jamieson, for many years head of the Jamieson Meat Co. This company, whose headquarters were at Renfrew, Ont.. had branches in several of the North Land towns, including Timmins and Cobalt, and the late Wm. Jamieson had been well known in the Porcupine having been frequent visitor here. The Jamieson Meat Co. business at Timmins was taken over first by J. R. Gordon who conducted it for years and later sold it to the Hollinger. The Jamieson Meat Co. sign remained on the store here for many years, with a sign above it with the name of Mr. Gordon and indicating that he was the successor to the Jamieson Meat Co. The late Wm. Jamisson died at Red Deer, Alberta, after being in poor health for some five years. He was a native of Renfrew County and was 46 A A CR W e Es 24 $ years old at the time of his death. "The strenuous character of his wideâ€" flung business life," The Advance quotâ€" ed from The Renfrew Mercury, "inâ€" cluded the taking of large contracts with contracting companies when the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario and the National Transcontinental railways were being built through Norâ€" thern Ontario." Ten years ago A number of those inâ€" terested gathered at Connaught withn the idea of forming local gun club. After some consideration and discusâ€" sion it was decided to have the proposâ€" ed rod and gun club include the whole district and a second meeting was acâ€" cordingly called to put this revised plan into operation. There was a large attendance and a very pleasant time at a social evening given ten years ago by Golden Beaver weq 000 40 Lodge, A. F. A. M., Timmins. Sceotâ€" ty Wilson‘s orchestra furnished the. musical interlude, including songs by. wW. G. McHugh, violin solo by C. R. Déeming. monologue by J. K. Moore, pianoforte duet by Mrs. and Miss Simms, solo by Miss Joyner, and other numâ€" bers, delighted all. y The second mocceasin dance at the Timmins rink in 1930 was well attendâ€" ed and very successful. Scotty Wilâ€" son‘s orchestra furnished the music. Ten years ago Timmins J uniors and Irquois Falls Juniors played friendly game at Timmins after the regular N. O.H.A. feature. Timmins lads won, the score being 9 to 2. The Timmins boys included:â€"Steele, goal; Levine and Bonham, defence; Jemmett, Laflamme and Brewer, forwards; Kendall and Hardy, spares. Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘"Emmett DesormeaUXx, who had his arm badly broken some weeks ago by being caught in the belt of a 1 FÂ¥. Ves woodâ€"sawing machine, is making the best of progress to complete recovery." "R. J. Ennis, general manager of the McIntyre Porcupine Mine, has gone to Battle Creek, Mich., on a visit on acâ€" count of his health." "The afternoon tea given at Miss Maltais millinery parlours yesterday by the St. Anthony‘s Girls‘ Altar Society proved a successful and enjoyable social event, the attendâ€" ance being large and all being pleased with the social features of the occasâ€" ion.‘"‘ "G. B. Nicholson, M.P., for East Algoma, addressed a number of meetâ€" ings in this district last week in the. interests of the Anglican Church Forâ€" 1 ward Movement. He spoke at Iroquois Falls, South Porcupine, Timmins and at other centres, and made able and eloâ€" quent case for the Forward Movement." "This week a new jewelry store‘is openâ€" ing up in the New Empire theatre buildâ€" ing, Adrien T. Pommier taking the preâ€" mises recently occupied by Cook and Mitchell, and commencing business there with a full line of watches, clocks and jewelry. Timmins now has four jewelry stores. Mr. Pommier‘s opening announcement will be found elsewhere in this issue." "The firm of Armitage and Ellis is discontinuing business here and the stocks are being bought by the Hollinger Stores, Ltd. The store is ciosed this week for the purpose of stockâ€"taking.‘" "R. Benallick, who has been the representative of The Cobalt Nugget here for some time past, left on Friday morning for Detroit where he has a good position with a large adverâ€" tising agency. Mr. Benallick made many friends here during his stay in Timmins and these, while regretting his departure, will follow him with very best wishes for his success in his new field." "The people of South Porcupine were out for moose last week, a big specimen having been seen on the T. N. O. tracks." "Mrs. Geo. Howe, who has been visiting at the home of her parents in Latchford for the: past month, returned home on the Troquois Falls special on Saturday night.":.::‘"P. M. Bardessono, manager of the New Empire theatre, left on Friday last for Hibbin, Minnesota, having received a telegram to the effect that his mother was very ill at her homse in that place." "His many friends in town were pleasâ€" ed to see Col. Worthington able to be around again this week after being confined to the house since early last month with a severe attack of the inâ€" fluenza." "There were nearly 100 cases on the docket at the sittings of the Division Court held in the council chamber, Timmins, on Thursday, last.
