THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Others Folilow : running through of the Toronto train to Timmins each dayâ€"would remedy at once the particular grievances that The Advance featured. If Commissioner Lee secures these benefits for the public withinâ€"a reasonable time, The Advance will be ready to give him due credit for his publicâ€"spirited attention to the peoâ€" 1 ple‘s service. If powers higher up stop the necessary plans (as has sometimes been suspected of occurring in the past) | The Advance will be quite ready to asâ€" sist in placing the responsibility for tne i poor Service where it rightly belongs." These quotations from The Advance of ten years ago show why The Advance was criticalof the T. N. ten years ago and why now there is little but good to say about the railway service. Mr. Lee fulfiilled and more and fulfilled | ll the promises h> made and most reaâ€" , sonable people are ready to agree that| there are few better conducted roads | toâ€"day than the T. N. O. railway. [ Ten â€"years ago there were all sorts of reports in regard to deaths in Timâ€" through to Timmins each day, instead of going to Cochrane and the G.T.P. connections will be served by a local connecting train. This plan was folâ€" lowed here some‘years ago and worked very satisfactorily. The two prospecâ€" tive improvementsâ€"the making of proâ€" per accommodation for the travelling public at Porquis Junction, and the here that Mr. Lee "got an earful," to use a slaing expression, but showed the right spirit. The Advance continued: "That Mr. Lee is sincere in his stand is perhaps best suggested by the fact that after investigating the conditions at Porquis Junction Commissioner Lee at once got into touch by wire with North Bay and orders were issued a; once for the preparing of plans, etc., for the enlarging of the Porquis Juncâ€" tion station with the view of adding proper accommodation there for any passengers detained at that junction point. Mr. Lee also told The Advance that arrangements were being made to have one of the Toronto trains run will clear your sealp of all Dandâ€" ruff. Guaranteed money refunded if it doesn‘t do all we claim for it, Price $1.00 The last will and testament of Hon. Frank Cochrane, formerly member for Temiskaming riding in the Dominion House, and previously Minister 0o‘ Lands and Forests in Ontario, was probated at Ottawa ten years ago. He left an estate of practically half a milâ€" lion dollars. The beneficiaries were his widow and their two children, Wilbur and Edith Cochrane. One half of the estate was vilied to the widow for life and the other half to the two children. The will was drawn by Hon. Mr. Cochâ€" rane himself and witnessed by two clerks in his department. Ten years ago Toronto theatres were showing motion picture films of John Jones, wellâ€"known in the Porcupine, and his team of sleigh dogs. He had some weeks before made a trip by dog team from Hamiltor® to Toronto and this performance created much interâ€" est. mine on the surface and underground and at various places of interest throughout the mill, refinery and other sections of the plant, have been securâ€" ed. These will be woven into a picture news story that will give the outside public a clear impression of the gold industry from the time the oreis taken from underground until it is run through the mill and ready for shipment as bulâ€" lion." It may be added here and now that the completed picture was one of the best of its kind ever filmed. It has been shown here literally dozens of times and has been enjoyed and appreâ€" clated by visitors to the camp and by the people here. Ten years ago the motion picture deâ€" partment in connection with the Onâ€" tario Government had representatives in the camp taking pictures for film to show interesting features of the gold industry of the province. In referring to the matter at the time The Advance work here is in charge ot Geo. A. Smith, formerly a wellâ€"known resident of the camp. The departrf@ent is securing this type of picture to adâ€" vertise the industries, resources, etc., of the province, and also for educaâ€" tional purposes in this and other counâ€" tries, Some time ago a picture was made of the Cobalt camp. In picturâ€" ing the gold industry the films are beâ€" ing taken at the Hollinger Mine. The most acceptable pictures of the big Announcement was made ten years ago that the McIntyre and Hollinger stores had increased the discount givâ€" en to employees purchasing goods at the mine stores. The discount was raised from 15 to 20 per cent. The idea was to assist in reducing the ‘cost of living to the mine employees. There was an interesting game of hockey on Feb. 25th, 1920, between two picked teams, one representing the Town and the other being made up of McIntyre and Hollinger players. It was a lively game the Town being deâ€" feated by a score of 4 to 3. The teams were as follows:â€"Townâ€"goal, Hogâ€" garth; defence, Neil Ferguson and Loughrin;> forwards, Jacobs, Campbell and Laflamme; spares, C. Jemmett, A. Simms. Allâ€"Starsâ€"goal, Liberty; deâ€" fence, Cox and Brown; forwards, Parâ€" ker, Briden and J. Simms; spares, R. Levine. W. McNeill was the referee. At the annual meeting of the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario Assoâ€" clated Boards of Trade ten years ago one of the chief questions before the gathering was the matter of a definite policy of colonization for the North Land. A committee was formed to draft a policy. The suggestion came from T. N. O. Commissioner Geo. w. Lee in the course of a debate on a reâ€" solution from New Liskeard. This reâ€" solution called for grants of money to settlers until they could become selfâ€" supporting. Mr. Pumaville, who introâ€" duced the resolution, said the idea was to pay the settler a certain sum per acre for every acre cleared until, say, thirty acres were cleared. J. A. Clerâ€" mont, of Cochrane, thought good roads more important. The annual meeting of the Associated Boards was held a: Cochrane, and twelve boards of tra»: were represented. Timmins did not have a representative present, the three or four dependables for such events beâ€" ing unable to attend this meeting. mins and district from the influenza. There were people who would stand up and say that hundreds of deaths hac occurred and that the facts were supâ€" pressed. Of course there was no truth in these reports, and while it was felt that it was little use arguing with the people who insisted on believing these stories, The ~Advance went to the trouble of securing the actual official figures in the matter. There was only one undertaker in the camp at the time and as he handled all cases of deaths in Timmins and district, without e::â€" ception, the figures were obtained from his records. These were then checked up with the registration of deaths and the burial permits. The result was a group of figures that could ‘not possibly ve questioned. From Jan. 1st to March Ist, 1920, there were 27 deaths in the camp, including all the adults dying in Timmins, Schumacher, Moneta, Tisâ€" dale, Mountjoy, Mattagami, and the unorganized territory in the immediate district. In addition there were three infants dying in the Porcupine distx‘iczI in the two months; In January there were only 5 deaths of adults and m! February there were 22. The causes of. death were given as 10 from pneumonia, 14 from influenza, and 3 from other causes. "In publishing these figures," said The Advancve at the time, "The Advance has no desire to improperly minimize the illness prevalent at the present time, nor to encourage careâ€"| lessness or lack of attention in regard| to sickness. But there is in a few quarâ€" ‘ ters such a tendency to exaggeration and gloom that the actual figures may have a tonic effect. No good is to be gained by pretending that the situation is worse than it is The idea of The Advance is that everything possible be done to prevent an epidemic and to this end a cheerful public frame of mind is necessary. V l The Advance ten years ago mads cxâ€" Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were Ithe following:â€"*"The Tiimmins branch Iof the Soldiers‘ Civil Reâ€"Establishment Iand Ontario Government Employment | Bureau, is closed this week as both Mr. | Garner and Mr. Ryan are on the sick list," ‘"Mrs. Geo. A. Howe has returnâ€" ed from a visit to Latchford where both her mother and father and other memâ€" bers of the family were ill with the prevalent influenza. They are all reâ€" !covered now." ‘"‘Mr. and Mrs. P. Jefâ€" | frey and family, all of whom have been | on the sick list from the prevalent grippe or influenza, are now all well on the way to recovery. Mr. Jeffrey is well enough to expect to take his place again this week at the fire hall." "W. Armitage and Masters Hugh and Bob Armitage, who have been among those : on the sick list, are making good proâ€" gress to recovery." "Neh Faulkenham, now of Matheson, was a visitor to the camp this week." ‘"Mrs. F. M. Burke returned last week from Toronto now well on the way to recovery from her recent illness." "Hugh Mulheron, now resident of Gravenhurst, but formerly ,one of the pioneers of the Porcupine, and for several years manager of the ihot,el. Goldfields, is a visitor to town this week, renewing acquaintances here |and greeting old friends." "J. Dagenâ€" t ais, of the tailoring firm of Dagenais Campbell, received word on Monday evening of the illness of her mother at Arnprior. He left on Tuesday morning for Arnprior where he will spend a week or two." "A R. Globs, formerly assistant general manager of the Hollinger, but latterly with the‘ Moose Mountain Iron Mines at Sellâ€" wood, near Sudbury, was a visitor to. the camp last week and was warmly greeted by his many friends here who were delighted to see him again, but sincerely regretful at the special casion for this visitâ€"the latter being due to the sad death of Mr. Globe‘s neâ€" phew, the late Jack Bain. Mr. Globe asked The Advance to express the sinâ€" cere thanks of the father, W. Bain, of Hamilton, of himself and of the family generally to.the kind friends who were so good to the young man during his illness and showed such sympathy and consideration at the time of the sad i’ 4 $ death. To Chief Borland ahd the members of the fire brigade, for their constant attention and thought, and to St. Mary‘s hospital, the Sisters, Dr. Moore, and the other good friends who showed such special care, the family expresses its particular gratitude and appreciation." ‘"Mrs. John W. Fogg left last week for a holiday visit to Portâ€" land, Maine, and other points south." "Geo. M. Black, formerly of the office staff of the Porcupine Crown, has reâ€" turned this week to the Porcupine after some months at Cobalt."

The little page announced "Harvest Days," as written and comâ€" posed by Ada Bartlettâ€"Sims. "Words and music alike," said The Advance, "are most creditable to this local musiâ€" cian. Some time ago Mrs. Sims mace a decided hit locally with a bright ant gifted patriotic song of welcome to the returning soldiers, The music of this cong, "Welcome Home," has been used with much effect in the new and more permanent production, "Harvest Days." The music of "Harvest Days" has an appeailng rhythm and melody that should touch a popular note. Experts in musical matters in the district who have played over "Harvest Days" speak in the highest terms of the musical competition. The words also have a special appeal." tended reference to a very attractive musical composition published by the composer, Mrs. R.

"Completely «outclassing the Cobalt Miners, in the first game of the Junior N.O.H.A., finals here tonight, the Sault Greyhounds will carry an 11â€"goal marâ€" gin to the Northern town for the second contest by virtue of their crushing 13 â€"2 trimming, they administered to the visiting squad. The Miners‘ defence was woefully weak and they were unâ€" able to cope with the speedy passing attacks of the Greyhounds." NEW COLONIZATION DEPT. NEEDED FOR THE NORTH LAND Cobalt pulled a big surprise last week when the Junior hockey team from the Silver Town overcame big lead and won from the Iroquois Falls Juniors on the round for honours at this end of the N.O.H.A. But the Cobalt lads have a bigger lead to overcome now in their battle with the Sault Juniors for the N.O.H.A. championship. In the gams at the Sault on Monday the Sault was an easy victor over the Cobalt Juniors, the score being 13 to 2. It is felt that in the return game at Cobalt the latâ€" ter team will not be able to overcome this wide margin. Despai‘thes from Sault Ste Marie on Monday night say: Sault Greyhounds W in Over the Cobalt Juniors H. Bridger, now in charge of Homer L.

Returning from a visit to the property this week he sumâ€" med up his opinion by saying:â€"*"The more I see of it the better I like it, and the more promising its outlook appears. The work at the property is being conâ€" ducted energetically but economically. There is no waste of money or effort. And the results exceed expectations."
