W e OR 20E "Mr. Charles Dalton, one Ol UNC DeSst known and most popular of the early residents of the camp, died on Monday morning, Feb. 23rd, 1920, after a comâ€" faratively brief iliness," says The Adâ€" vance of ten years ago. The article continues:â€""Death was due to pneuâ€" monia, following an attack of influenza Some weeks ago the late Charles Dalâ€" ton was taken ill with a severe cold, but apparently recovered and was around again in his useful cheerful and friendâ€" ty way. About two weeks ago he was again taken ill and this time the malaâ€" dy was diagnosed as influenza. Every possible care and attention was given +wo nurses being constantly in attendâ€" ance, and a noted specialist, Dr. Gallie, of Toronto, being summoned herg in addition to the local physicians. All that medical skill could do proved unâ€" availing. The late Chas. Dalton was a son of the late Michael Dalton who died here in 1917. At the time of death the late Chas. Dalton was 34 years of age. He was born at Kintail, near Goderich. Two brothers, John of Timmins, and Frank, of San Francisco, and one sister, living in Toronto, are aemong the near relatives surviving. To these the sympathy of the entire comâ€" munity goes out at this time. The late Charles Dalton was one of the real pioneers of this district. Before there was any town of Timmins he and his brother John ran a stage from South Porcupine to Mattagami as early as 1911. He took an active interest in public affairs and for one year was councillor o the town of Timmins. While in the council he coined a phrase that achieved permanent popularity. When the council was puzzled by some perplexing problem, Charlie would solve it by saying:â€""Let her go as she looks." The humorous expression became the watchword for getting along with busiâ€" ness~ The remains of the late Charles Dalton were taken south on Tuesday for interment, John Dalton going down with the remains.

Interment will be made at the old home near Goderich, Ont." Another popular and highlyâ€"esteemâ€" ed resident of the camp to pass away ten years ago was Mrs. Wm. Fields. This death cccurred on Sunday, Feb. 22nd, 1920, after an illness of only three hours. While Mrs. Pield had been indisposed for a few days she had not been kept to her bed until 2 o‘clock on the Sunday. Then despite all that skill and care could do she passed away. Death was due to influenza. The late Mrs. Field was a native of Gloucesterâ€" shire, England, and was only 32 years at the time of death. Her mother, Mrs. Hookham lived at the Field home, Birch street. Mrs. Harry Webb, of ‘Timmins, was a sister of the deceased. Another sister resides in Halifax. In addition to the bereaved husband (who has since passed away) there were three children left to mourn the loss of a good mother. To these The Adâ€" vance extended its deepest sympathy. The funeral took place on Monday, Fep. 23rd, 1920, to the Timmins cemetery, and the many expressions of sorrow and regret, together with the numerous and beautiful floral tributes, showed the high regard in which Mrs. Field was held. Still another death in the camp ten years ago was that of W. P. Black, of Ssouth Porcupine, who passed away a~â€" ter brief illness. Death followed an attack of influenza. In réferring to the death The Advance said in pant:â€"*"The news of his death was received with very general and sincere regret throughout the whole camp, for Bill Black, as he was affectionately known to his friends here, was one of the most popular and highlyâ€"esteemed of the oldâ€"timers of the district. He was ons of the first of the business men of the Porcupine>~ conducting a tailoring establishment at South Porcupine in the early days, and winning friends on all sides by his integrity and friendly disposition. He took an active and inâ€" telligent interest in public affairs, while in sporting circles, especially in footâ€" ball, he was one of the leaders. Heé will be much missed in many circles. He was one of the wellâ€"known and popular football enthusiasts of the North Land. Last year he was prominent not only on the executive of the Porcupineâ€" Dome football club, but also in the councils of the Northern Ontario Footâ€" ball Association. He gave good service some years ago as one of the councilâ€" lors of the township of Tisdale. He was born at Carluke, Scotland, and at the time of his death he was 33 years old. In addition to the bereaved widow, one child survives. Messrs Andyâ€" Black, of this camp, and M. Black, of Cobalt, are surviving broâ€" thers of the deceased, while another brother resides in New Brunswick. To the sorrowing relatives the sympathy of all goes out in this loss of a fine type of good citizen and man. On Saturday the Masons and Oddfellows held their services at the home, previous to the taking of the remains to Renfrew, Onâ€" tario, for interment. The deceased was a member of both the A. F. A. Mr. and the 1.0O.0.F., being a Past Grand of Porcupine Lodge of the Oddfellows. Mrs. Black and child and other relaâ€" tives of the late Mr. Black accompanied the remains to Renfrew. Previous to her marriage Mrs. Black was Miss Campbell, of Renfrew. The many beautiful and costly floral tokens eviâ€" denced the regard in which the deceasâ€" ed was held and the sincere sympathy un ag + Â¥ and Call Us Toâ€"day Phone Timmins felt for the bereaved widow and other sorrowing relatives. The death of Moses Taufey was also recorded by The Advance ten years ago. Moses Taufey was wellâ€"known in Timâ€" mins, having been employed at the rink and at the Hotel Goldfields, when Hugn Mulheron was manager of these instiâ€" tutions. He was a native of Syria but had lived in Canada for a great many years, being one of the oldâ€"timers of the Porcupine. Previous to his death he had been employed at the Hollinger Mine. He drank from one of the large bottles in the mill, thinking it containâ€" ed water. Instead the bottle contained an acid that caused painful burns to his mouth and throat, and as conseâ€" quence he had to leave his work and go home. The bottle was not anyâ€" where near where the drinking water was kept and as The Advance pointed out the unfortunate man himself was the only one in any way responsible for the accident. Despite all that could be done for him when his conâ€" dition was known he developed pneuâ€" monia and passed away as result. The issue of The Advance ten years ago was remarkable for the number of deaths recorded in the one Issue. Soms of these are noted above. Another was that of Jack Bain, one of the most popuâ€" lar of the volunteer fire brigade. In reference to the death of Jack Bain, The Advance of Feb. 25th, 1920, said:â€" "A week ago Jack Bain left his room at the Timmins fire hall for his work at the Hollinger, enjoying apparently the best of health and spirits. When he returned in the afternoon he was seriously ill, and everything possible was done for him at once. Later, he was removed to St. Mary‘s hospital where every care and attention was given him, but all efforts were in vain. He died a little after midnight on Tuesâ€" day, Feb. 24th, a victim of influenza. The late John W. Bain as oniy 231 years of age. He was a son of Mtr. and Mrs. W. M. Bain, of Hamilton, and in addiâ€" tion to the bereaved parents one sister about 14 years old survives. The fathâ€" er was kept constantly informed of the patient‘s condition by Fire Chief Borâ€" land, and Mr. Bain was on his way to Timmins when the death occurred. Jack was very popular and highlyâ€" esteemed by wide circles of friends atâ€" tracted by his bright disposition, his unfailing good humour and his high character. He gave the highest proâ€" mise of developing into the most deâ€" sirable type of good citizenship and manhood. He had been on the Holâ€" linger staff for about four years and was a useful and dependable member of the Timmins fire department for about two years. In social and other circles he was popular, indeed, and the sympathy with the bereaved family and near friends will be very genuine and general. The remains will likely be taken to his home at Hamilton for interment toâ€"morrow." In addition to the list of deaths menâ€" tions above, the front page of The Adâ€" vance ten years ago had an article reâ€" férring to the large number of those on the sick list in the camp at the time. There were a few cases of influenza, but a large number of cases of severe colds, la grippe, etec. In part the article said:â€""Among those on the long sick list in the camp may be mentioned :â€" Mr. and Mrs. Killingbeck, Mr. and Mrs. Morrison, Mr. and Mrs. Craven and family, J. E. Sullivan, Mrs. E. L. Longâ€" more, the Desautelles family, of Matâ€" tagami, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Webb, of Elm street, Miss Helen Jemmett, Dan McInnis, J. W. Faithful, Frank Mcâ€" Guire, Frank Francis, D. Warren, R. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. M. Williams and Mary, M. Boivin, and Mr. and Myrs. Lainsbury and family. Practically all of the above patients have severe colds or cases of the grippe, and practically all of them are now well on the way to complete recovery. The speedy reâ€" turn of all of them to full health and strength will be the wish of all." In 1920 it was first intended to noiu the Porcupine dog race on Feb. 28th, but the local board of health suggested that a postponement might aid in the precautions against danger of influenza, so the committee at once decided to change the date to March 13th. In the second game in the N.O.H.A. series, New Liskeard won on Timmin> ice with the score of 6 to 5, and thus won the right to play Sudbury for the association honours. The game beâ€" tween Timmins and New Liskeard was officially given as a win for Liskeard, but there was one disputed goal and many of the fans maintained that the match was teally a draw. The Timâ€" mins team was handicapped by the illness of some of the regular players but put up a notable battle. There was an unusually large crowd out for the match. The game was speedy and clean, penalties being very few. For the Liskeard team Thompson, R. Moniâ€" gomery and Eplett were the stars, while Joe Brennan, Loughrin and Campbell were valuable for Porcupine. The two goalâ€"tenders were also worthy of speâ€" cial credit, both C. Montgomery and R. Hoggarth doing especially good work for their teams. The following were the teams:â€"Porcupineâ€"R. Hoggarth, goal; Cox and Loughrin, defence; Mcâ€" Guire, Brennan, Campbell, Parker, Simms and Brown, forwards. New Liskeardâ€"C. Montgomery, goal; E. Montgomery « and Eplett, defence; Thompson, Hogg, W. Burns and Wilâ€" der, forwards. At a meeting of the Dome Lake Minâ€" ing and Milling Co. in February, 1920, the annual report showed the mill in operation for only about three months in the year. There were 4433 tons treated with an average recovery of $5.38. T. L. RBapst, of Buffalo, was elected president; A. A. McKelvie, of New Liskeard, viceâ€"president. The other directbrs were:â€"T. McManus, New Liskeard, S. J. Dark, Buffalo, and C. L. Sherill. Buffalo, W. H. Kinch, Buffalo, and F. L. Hutchison, New Lisâ€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO keard, the latter being secretaryâ€"treasâ€" urer. Reference was made ten years ago in The Advance to the removal of the mining recorder‘s office from Matheson to Swastika. G. Ginn was appointed mining recorder to fill the place made vacant by the resignation of J. A. Hough. Among the local and pers‘mal notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Mrs. T. F. King was operâ€" ated upon at Sudbury hospital on Monâ€" day for appendicitis, and her many friends here will be pleased to know that the operation was eminently sucâ€" cessful and that she is making good progress to complete recovery." ‘"There is not a single case of influenza at Iroâ€" quocis Falls." "Mrs. P. Chapman is ill with the prevalent influenza." "No less than ten bodies were in Th@rpe‘s undertaking parlours at Haileybury over the weekâ€"end awaiting burial. The snow storm and the train service prevented the taking away of the bodâ€" ies to places out of town. Only a couple of the dead were victims of inâ€" fuenza." "John W. Fogg is planning the erection of a big warehouse in Moneta townsite, the lots for the build« ing having been recently purchased and plans being under way to start the work of building in the spring." "All will regret to know that Jack West, brotherâ€"inâ€"law of Chief J. E. Wilson, and wellâ€"known in this camp, has been seriously ill at Kirkland Lake. All will be glad to know that he is now much improved and on the way to recovery." "His innumerable friends in the camp are pleased to see Jack Easton able to be out and around again after his reâ€" cent. serious illness." "Mrs. Cannon came here last week from Pembroke, Ont., to join her husband, Mr. Thos. Cannon, who is on the staff of the Hotrâ€" linger Stores." "‘There will be very general and sincere sympathy with Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Moore in the death this week of ‘their bright little daughter, Isabel Annie Moore, aged one year and eight months. The death of the little girl, their youngest daughter, occurred on Sunday after a comparatively brief illness from pneumonia." "J. A. Valâ€" liancourt, wellâ€"known in G.W.V.A. cirâ€" cles, and formerly lieutenant in the Thirteenth Battalion, three years Ooverâ€" seas, left on Wednesday for points south where he will visit friends in Elkhart, Indiana, and in Detroit, after which he will take a position on the engineering staff of the Canadian Bridge‘o., Windsor." Jack Miner Presents Ford With Brick Machine Jack Miner. as it is well known, is a brick manufactwrer. His father was a ploneer brick manufacturer in Ohio, and when the Miner family came to Canada, the old hand press brick maâ€" chine was brought with them, which Jack Miner used for years, moulding brick by hand. On a recent visit of Henry Ford to Jack Miner‘s home he was told of this old brick machine, and Mr. Ford being interested in same, Jack Miner at once got the machine and put it in working order, and when sent over to the Ford Museum at Dearborn, Michigan, the following was printed on a heavy card board and tacked on side of machine for spectators to read when visiting museum : ‘ "This hand press, sand stock brick machine was purchased by my father, Jchn Miner, Sr., at Cleveland, Ohio, in April 1873, and taken to our home, Dover Centre, Ohio, which is thirteen miles west of Cleveland; there father, assisted by his family and a few hired men, made at least one and a half milâ€" lion brick with it during 1873â€"74â€"75â€"76â€" 77. Then in 1878 father decided to move to Canada on the 100 acres of woods we had paid for making brick with this machine, and the faithful old servant was discarded and stored in the good Lord‘s outâ€"ofâ€"doors toolâ€" shed. Then, in 1882 father had the machine shipped to Canada, and my brother Ted and I made several thouâ€" sand brick with it in 1882 and 1883, among them are the 10,000 that are still giving good service in the Harrow school house, built in 1882 at Harrow, Essex County, Ontario. In 1884 we started making drain tile and the maâ€" chine was again stored away, but this time in our barn, where it remained for at least twenty years, then my younger brothers got the Northwest fever, and took the machine to Alberta, Canada, and made several kilns of brick at Pincher Creek, Alberta. In 1923, while visiting my sister and broâ€" therâ€"inâ€"law, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Broadwell, at Pincher Creek, Alberta, we strolled up to the oid deserted brick yard, and here was the old faithfu: servant, discarded and tipped down the hill, the woodâ€"work badly damâ€" aged and decayed, but I walked down and put my hands on the«lever that I pressed brick with when only eleven years old, and really to me there is something sacred about it, and right there and then I asked my brotherâ€" inâ€"law to ship it home to me, which he did last spring. I have put new woodâ€"work on "old faithful," and right toâ€"day with the assistance of two men I could mould 7,000 brick per day. This old pioneer, yes, a pioneer in Ohio, in Ontario, Canada, and again pioneer in Alberta, Canada, which is about 3,000 miles from where it startâ€" Carleton Place Central Canadianâ€" The school inspector had arrived to examine the class. Pointing to one "Therefore, Mr. Ford taking the above facts into consideration, I conâ€" sider it an honour for you to preserve "cld faithful," who has often helped fill the Aour barre! in time of need." â€"JACK MINER boy, he said. "You look intelligent Can you tell me where Ben Nevis is?" "No, sir,‘" replied the boy. "I don‘t think he attends this school." FINE TROPHY FOR LADIES® SOFTBALL LEAGUE ARRIVES The North Bay Nugget ‘last week says:â€""The Northern Ontario Ladies‘ Softball Association championship troâ€" phy, donated by Premier G. Howard Ferguson, was this morning delivered to Ald. D. J. Saya. It is considered to be one of the most magnificent sports trophies to be placed in competition in Northern Ontario. It stands three feet in height and is of silver and bears a plaque of the donor. The plaque was made in England and is an excellent likeness of the Premier. The trophy will be for annual comâ€" petition and the Rinkey Dinks, Onâ€" tario champions, are the first holders." PUBLIC LIBRARY MAY BE STARTED IN HAILEYBURY Plans are now under way to estabâ€" lish a public library in Haileybury. The matter has been taken up by the Rotary Club and a committee formed to gather all available data on the subâ€" ject. If the people of Haileybury are interested in the experience of Timâ€" mins, it may be said that the thoughtâ€" ful people of this town feel that the public library here is one of the most important assets of the town. It is doubtful if so large a measure of pleaâ€" sure and benefit is received here for so small an expenditure in any other line as comes from the public library. To literally hundreds of people it is special source of interest and enjoyâ€" ment. It costs little yet has a wider appeal than any other form of pleaâ€" sure. Those who take advantage of the benefits of the public library not only receive more than their money‘s worth in enjoyment, but they also reap proâ€" fit in educational and cultural lines. The library places culture and advanceâ€" ment before all. It provides one of the solid entertainments that a town may well spend money to assure, and yet the cost is so small as to place the benefits within the reach of all municipalities of any size. If the Rotary Club is sucâ€" cessful in giving this benefit of a pubâ€" lic library to Haileybury, the club will certainly prove itself a service club. â€" Lindsay Postâ€"Orillia storkeeper capâ€" tured a mosquito and that in winter weather in a town where there aren‘t supposed to be any mosquitoes in sumâ€" mer time.
