The game was a lively one and there was much good hockey. The Timmins team included:â€"R. Hogâ€" garth, Geo. Lake, Loughrin, Campbell, Brennan, McGuire, Lafiamme and Jemmett. For McIntyre the players were:â€"McIntyre, â€" Briden, Gregory, Cauley, Parker, Cox, Levine and Hicks, Practically official announcement was made ten years ago that the Onâ€" tarlo Government would not sell the T. N. O. as had been reported as likely to cccur. cles in the North. She was an active worker in the Presbyterian Church, in the hospital work at New Liskeard, and in other public capacities. At the regular meeting of the town council ten years ago, on motion of Councillors E. L. Longmore and W. Deâ€" Feu, J. F. Henderson was appointe@ town engineer at a salary of $2500.00 per year. In speaking to the motion Councillor Longmore said that it was his opinion that the town had grown to such an extent and the public serâ€" vices of the municipality were now Sso axtended that there was great need for the services of a competent engineer permanently. Mr. Henderson had been in charge of the work here for Sutcliffe and Neelands during the past few months and his knowledge and attenâ€" tion had been of great value to the town. The motion to appoint Mr. Henderson as town engineer was passed unanimously. The matter of the buildâ€" ing used by the town as an isolation hospital for some smallpox cases was once more before the council. The owner of the house, Mr. White, had refused to accept the town‘s offer, and instead asked the town in effect to buy the building or pay at least $500.00 or $600.00 for the use made of it. The council considered their previous offer as good as anything they could do, and they left the next move, if any, to Mr. White. Councillor Fogg and other councillors thought the town should look around and secure a place for an isolation hospital. The scavenger serâ€" vice came in for considerable discusâ€" sion. The services of the scavenger for the year were considered as generally satisfactory, but plans were made for more frequent collection of garbage in town. The following paragraph from the report of the council© meeting should be of interest in view of the deâ€" velopments several years later:â€""On motion of Messrs Longmore and DeFeu the account of $841.00 for the Wabi Iron Works was ordered paid. This settles the longâ€"standing account in connection with ithe water tank, which has been held for payment until the Wabi Iron Works would submit a bill. The death of Mrs. John X. McDonald, mother of Mrs. J.. J. Perreault, of town, was chronicled in The Advance ten years ago. Mrs. McDonald was one of the pioneer residents of New Liskeard, and was largely esteemed by wide cirâ€" It was pointed out in The Advance ten years ago that after a siege of illâ€" nsss South Porcupine had recovered its health and so was back to normal again. â€" There had been considerable illnoss in South Porcupine and as a precautionary measures all schools, churches and other public meeting places were, closed for a week or two. The epidemic in South Porcupine apâ€" peared to be more of the type of the oldâ€"time la grippe or severe cold rather than the more serious disease commonâ€" ly known as the "flu." Although the number of cases was much smaller and the type of the disease much milder than in the previous filu epidemiic, the authorities at South Porcupine decidâ€" ed not to take any chances and so speâ€" cial msasures and precautions were adopted. The prompt efforts to comâ€" bat the prevalence of severe colds or la grippe were so succasssful that in a few days South Porcupine was back 4o normal health and it was possible to reâ€"open the schools, churches and cther public mesting places. In The Advance of Feb. 11th, 1920, reference is made to a successful and pleasing band concert given in the Emâ€" pire theatre by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band. "Bandmaster E. W. Johnston and his bandsmen received many comâ€" pliments upon the programme of music furnished," said The Advance at the time, "and there will be general pleasâ€" ure at the announcement made that therewill be other similar concerts givâ€" en in the near future. The Timmins Citizens‘ band has developed into an excellent musical organization that is a credit to the town, and it is pleasing to all good citizens to see the general support and appreciation given." The programme comprised selections by the band and a fiveâ€"reel picture. The colâ€" lection totalled over $87.00. Through the kindness of the management of the theatre, there was no charge made for the hall or for the picture shown. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" ‘"Mr. E. J. McDonald, of Rochester townsite, who had his eye injured while at work in the bush some weseks ago, is making very satisfactory progress in Toronto where he is taking hospital treatment. ~‘While chopping in the bush a flying chinb hit him in the eye with the result that it appeared as if the eye had been seriously injured. He went to Cochrane hospital and took treatment there for the injured eye, but. decided to try specialists in the city where, his many friends will be pleased to know, the treatment is provâ€" ing very successful and the danger of permanent injury to the eye is pracâ€" tically passed."

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The annual meeting of the Temisâ€" kaming Fire Association was held on Feb. 4th, 1920. The association at that \time comprised all the volunteer fire brigades in the North Land from North Bay to Cochrane. It was decided to | have the 1920 tournament at New Lisâ€" \keard on July l1st. The following offiâ€" cers were elected for the term:â€"Fire ! Chief John Lever, of New Liskeard; T. H. Wilkes, Iroquois Falls, viceâ€"presiâ€" dent; F. E. Thompson, New Liskeard, secretaryâ€"treasurer. ~After the convenâ€" tion the delegates were very pleasantly entertained by the Iroquois Falls briâ€" gsade at a banquet, at which W. J. Tierâ€" nery was the able and witty toastmasâ€" ter. A resolution of regret at the loss | to the town of Timmins through the Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘"Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Alliâ€" worth and Miss Racicot, of the post off.ce staff, are visiting in Toronto this week." "Mr. Jas. Houston was in town this week in connection with his work as consulting enginger for the Dome Lake." "Magistrate Atkinson had an easy day here last week on his regular visit to the town, there being no cases up for trial before him." "Mr. Geo. M. Black, formerly of the Porcupine Crown office staff, but latterly of the Crown Reserve in Cobalt, was weekâ€"end visitor to the camp, renewing acquainâ€" tances here. He was accompanied to town by his brother, who has recently come to Canada after service in France during the war." "At the last meeting of the council of the township of Tisâ€" dale the matter of lack of shelter of any kind for passengers waiting at the Dome Siding was referred to and the The following is from the Feb. 11th, 1920, issue of The Advance:â€""It was with the sincerest regret that the news was received in Timmins this week of the death at her home in South Porcuâ€" pine on Monday of Mrs., Chas. V. Galâ€" lagher, wife of the reeve of Tisdale township. Mrs. Gallagher was ill for only a few days, pneumonia being the cause of death. In addition to the bereaved husband four small children are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother. The late Mrs. Gallagher was cns of the most highly esteemed reâ€" sidents of the North Land. Before her marriage she was Miss McAlpine and was one of the most valued and popuâ€" lar teachers the New Liskeard school has ever had. She was an artist of more than usual ability and in her proâ€" fession of school teacher was held in the very highest regard. Since coming to the Porcupine camp she has made many friends and has won the highest ssteem of all. The body was taken to Forest, Ont., her old home where interâ€" menit will be made. The deepest symâ€" pathy of all goes out to the bereaved husband and family in their sad and sudden bereavement." It was fast and lively. The Timmins team was:â€"Liberty, Lake, Loughrin, Brown, Brennan, Simms, McGuire and Campbell. For Iroquois Falls the lineâ€" up was:â€"Corbould, Masterson, Bryde, Fraser, Fluker, Wilson, McConomy, and Bosquet. was the good news that Porcupine had won the northern group of the N.O.H.A.

A. games, northern group, Timmins had won the first game, 6 to 2; the second, 8 to 6; and the fourth, 4 to 2. The Falls won the third, 5 to 4. The game on Feb. 7th delighted the fans. as several of those killed in the C.P.R. wreck at North Bay lasti week, and beâ€" ing in the little friendly party formed on the voyage by some of them, she intended to travel on the train with them. Th Winnipeg train to which th2 accident occurred, however, was reserved for those going to the far West, and Mrs. Watt thus escaped the danger but lost some of her friends in the sad accident." The editorial article in The Advance ten years ago was in regard to the good work of the hospital at Cochrane. Figures were quoted from the report previously published by the hospital, to show that despite the good work done for the community, the institution did not receive the proper.support from the people. The Advance of Feb. 11th, 1920, said: "Mrs. W. D. Watt and little daughter, Jessie, returned to her home in Timâ€" mins on Thursday evening last after a visit of some months with her people overseas. Mrs. Watt crossed the ocean, homeward bound, cn the same steamer The Advance of Feb. 11th, 1920, had a letter from Dr. R. H.

Arthur Meecham, a volunteer fireâ€" man, was removed to his home unconâ€" scious when he was struck by falling bricks during the height of the blaze. The fire cntinued throughout ‘the night. The construction of the buildâ€" ing encouraged the flames and it was one of the most obstinate fires the North Bay fire brigade ever had to batâ€" tle. The firemen were further handiâ€" capped by the excessive cold working in temperature from 30 to 38 degrees beâ€" low zero. After fighting the fire for more than 12 hours the allâ€"out signal was given shortly after noon on Thursday but the fire broke out twice after that. The first relapse of the fire was at 4 p.m. on Thursday of last week and the other time was at 8 pm. Thursday of last week and the other time was at 8 p.m. Thursday night.

Destructive Fire at North Bay Last Week According to despatches from North Bay last week the McCool block, Main street of that city, was completely gutâ€" ted by fire which broke out shortly beâ€" fore midnight on Wednesday. The building was one of the old landmarks of the city. The loss is estimated at approximately: $50,000. The cause of the fire is unknown. Fire Chief G. M. Brady is of the opinion that it may have originated from the oil furnace which heats the block. The power sysâ€" tem was out of commission for some time last night and the fire was noticed by a passerâ€"by a few minutes after the electric current resumed. Mrs. Black was awakened by the smoke and she aroused ‘the family. Heavey smoke was pouring into their apartment before they escaped. Lieut. Wallace of the fire brigade, was the first to enter their quarters and he made his way through the somke to assist in the rescue of the children. Mr. and Mrs. George Cole, their three young children. Willard five, Marâ€" guerite four, and Shirley eight months, and Mrs. T.

These ill rumours not only cause injury to the tourist trade to the North, but they also reâ€" sult in much anxiety for people in the south who have relatives or friends in the North. This latter point was very clearly presented to the gathering here which met last year to do honour to the editors on tour of the North. Mr. E. L. Longmore instanced cases where the reports of fires in the North Land had bseen published in papers in the South, with the result that relatives and friends had suffered anxiety and worry about loved cnes in the North until communicaticon was established with the North and the falsity of the stories proven. If a few of those defaming the North either from malice or from carelessnesss or ignorance were punâ€" ished the practice might lose some of its popularity. Should Punish Those Who Defame the North "Last summer a party of U.S. tourâ€" ists who came up the Ferguson highway mot a man on the road near Ramore and stopped to ask him for some inâ€" formation which is gladly gave them. Before they proceeded on they told him that they were told at North Bay that it would be dangerous to go further north and that they might get trapped in a big bush fire. They said they were glad they did not take the advice, for they were pleased with the trip north and were satisfied that there was not so much danger as they were told. North Bay should make an example of anyone spreading such news to tourâ€" ists, if they are caught, as it is just as harmful to their town to have false reports about the North Land as anyâ€" where else along the Northern highâ€" Last year and in previous years there were so many false reports about the North that at least some tourist busiâ€" ness was turned away from here. One type of false report is referred to in a note received last week from H. A. Presâ€" ston, of Matheson. Mr. Preston, who is a genuine oldâ€"timer of the North writes The Advance as follows:â€" "Please publish this because it is true. "They say the, bear did not see his shadow down in Old Ontario on Feb. 2nd. He surely saw it up in Norâ€" thern Ontario. Two months ago you published where I predicted lots of bright sunshine and real cold weather for this winter, but most everybody else thought it would be a mild one. I stated that when the sky in the east was very bright at night it meant a big snow storm. I have seen it only once this winter, and that was over 24 months ago, and we have not had one real old big storm since.

Preston in a letter to The Adâ€" vance last week suggests that March will come in like a lion and will go out like a lamb, and that April will be a fine month.
