QOUD Phone 115 In The Advance ten years ago there is a lengthy report of the regular meetâ€" ing of the Timmins town council. One of the chief items before the meeting was the matter of bush fire menace around the town. The council made it plain that they looked to the Governâ€" ment to have this danger to the town removed. Mayor McInnis urged the necessity for keeping at the Governâ€" ment until the dangerous bush section around the town was removed. The council also had a petition, signed by practically all the residents of Rochesâ€" ter townsite, asking to be annexed to the town. The mayor suggested that it might â€"be a good thing to have a petition also from Moneta so that the two townsites might be annexed at the same â€" time. Councillor Longmiore pointed out that several Monetg people had spoken to him about having that townsite annexed to the town and he had explained to them that the counâ€" cil could do nothing until there was a patition from the residents. J. T. Easâ€" ton called the attention of the counâ€" cil to the fact ‘that the Protestant cemetery was not laid out in sections and subâ€"sections. Several had been enquiring about the purchase of lots, and there were also several bodies in the vault that would soon have to be buried. He advised that the town see about securing the burying ground, its proper survey, etc. Later, Rev. Fr. Theriault explained that he ‘had been in negotiation with the owners of the preperty, but their price was so high it might be necessary to expropriate. Rev. Fr. Theriault also referred to the apâ€" peal being made to all the municipaliâ€" ties of the North for assistance to the hospital at Haileybury. This hospita* since 1910 had given excellent hospital service to the North and all woula agree, he thought, that all the towns of the North would consider it a calamity if lack of finances made it necessary to L EV E KR Show Room 55 Third Ave. Timmins â€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO close this good institution. One of the biggest burdens the institution had t: carry was the bad debts. There wert patients from all over the North Land and some of them could not puy an. others neglected Patients from Timâ€" mins totalled about $1400.00 in this way. The council promised consideraâ€" tion though the mayor pointed out that the finances of the town had to be closely watched in the interests of the pizople, Timmins Golf Club organized for 1920 season with the following officers duly elected:â€"Patronsâ€"Messrs N. A. and L. H. Timmins, D. A. Dunlop, J. B. Holden, J. R. Timmins, and Dr. Mcâ€" Dougall, these being the directors of the Hollinger Mine. Presidentâ€"A. F. Brigham; viceâ€"president,®J. W. Fogg: secretaryâ€"treasurer, J. P. Taillon; exeâ€" cutive, Messrsâ€" W. J. Johnston, H. C. McDonald, H. C. Garner and R. Lilly; captain, D. Mackie; viceâ€"captain, H. C. McDonald. The annual meeting was very largely attended and there was much ‘enthusiasm. The club had a paidâ€"up membership of thirty at the time. On Friday evening, April 9th, the Goldfields Branch G.W.V.A., Timmins, commemorated the battle of Vimy Ridge by a Vimy Dance: The event was a very pleasant one, with about 100 couples present. The orchestra, inâ€" cluding Myrs. Faithful® at the piano, Mr. Deeming on the violin, and "Lefty" Farr on the drums, pJresented a fine programme of good dance music. "Within the course of a week or two,"said The Advance of April 14th, 1920, "the Dominfon Bank will have a branch offitce in Timmins, temporary quarters to be used first in the small building on Pine street now utilized as an office by the Pierce Lumber Co. It is understood that the bank intends to build permanent quarters at an early date. Mr. Grant, recently accountant of the Dominion Bank, at Orillia, will be the first manager of the new branch here." Miss Ivy Ludford, while walking on the tracks at Porquis Junction ten years ago, was struck by a shunting engine and sustained a fractured leg, an injured collar bone, scalp wounds gnd bruises on the head and face as a result. The girl was twelve years old at th2 time and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ludford, residing at Porâ€" quis Junction. A trainman who was ridinz on the cowâ€"catcher of the enâ€" gine made frantic effort to save her life. Though he threw her from the track he was not able to get her out of reach of the front of the engine. She was taken to the Iroquois Falls hospital where she was reported from the time of her entry to be making good proâ€" gress to recovery. REO PRICES NOW RANGE FROM $1175 TO $1945, F. O. B. LANSING, MICHIGAN At the regular meeting of the Timâ€" mins branch of the G.W.V.A. ten years azo the question of securing club house quarters here for the veterans was again before the meeting. The meetâ€" ing was enthusiastic for the securing of a club house and the matter of deâ€" tails was left in the hands of a comâ€" mittee of three. W. Gurrell, for years a porter at the Pacific hotel, North Bay, and previousâ€" ly one of the oldâ€"timers of the Porcuâ€" pine in the early days, being employed then at the King George hotel, South was found dead ten years ago at the edge of the Italian quarter at North Bay. The jury enquiring inâ€" to the death gave a verdict to the efâ€" fect that he had been killed by a blow from a sharp club, together with exâ€" posure to cold, etc. The jury had no aevidence to connect anyone with the murder, but the death was looked upon as a clear case of murder. "Billy the Pig," as he was known in the Porecuâ€" vine in the early days, was one of the characters of the camp when this disâ€" triot was young. He was a goodâ€"humâ€" ured and agreeable fellow, always to do a good turn for anybody, ind there was much wonder here as to vha could have killed him and for vhat possible reason. He was wideiy â€"nown all through the North and beâ€" yond, through his positicn with hotels. Ho made a special name for himself as the custodian of some pet bear cubs at the Pacific hotel. He used to take the bears out on chains and alâ€" ways followed. He was kind to youngâ€" sters, and the latter used to have a lot of fun with Billy. The police took up the case and made effort to find the person guilty of this crime. The Adva.m.:e ten years @ago "An enquiry is being conducted by the Drury Government into the affairs of the Depirtment of Lands, Forests and Mines at Toronto, there having been charges suggested that there were irâ€" regularities in connection with timber deals and other matters. Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, former Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, says he welâ€" comes the investigation for he has nothing to fear. His department was always conducted honestly and. effiâ€" ciently and an enquiry will prove thai all was well." Ten years ago Paddy Rowe had a good letter in The Advance urging betâ€" ter service at the :I‘immins post office. He specially urged more consideration to boxâ€"holders in the matter of the hours in which the post office was open for them. The fairness of the requests made by Mr. Rowe is shown by the fact that the hours for some years past have been even more extended then reâ€" quested by him in the public interests. In the police court news ten years ago reference was made to an unmenâ€" tionable crime of which a man from South Porcupine was accused. The crime was of so revolting a nature that even a hint of its character could not be given. It was certainly most obâ€" jectionai‘ble. The election returns for the byâ€"elecâ€" tion in Temiskaming ten years ago were given by The Advance. The finâ€" al unofficial reports gave Angus Mcâ€" Donald, Labour, 5293 votes; Major Pulâ€" len, Conservative, 3060; A. G. Slaght, Liberal, 3102. There was less than half of the total vote polled. Ten years ago The Advance warned the youngsters against the dangers lurking in broken bottles and other glass thrown around. One youngster had sustained a badly cut hand through falling on a piece of glass. Another had a permanent injury to one of his toes through stepping on a brokâ€" en bottle while in his bare feet. Other similar accidents were referred to by The Advance, the editorial conciudâ€" ing:â€"*"Youngsters, shun the bottle:! At the first it sparkles and glitters, and smashes with a beautiful crash, but in the end it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten years ago were the followinfz:â€"‘"There will be very general extended to E. G. Hand, of the Northern Miner Co., Coâ€" balt, in the sudden death last week oi his wife. The late Mrs. Hand passed away suddenly at her former home in Fenelon Falls Mr. and Mrs. Hand had been married less than fifteen months."‘ "A very pleasant social and at home was given the local lodge of the Rebekahs in their lodge rooms in the basement of St. Matthew‘s church on Thursday evening last There was a large attendance and ai: had a very enjoyable evening." "H. W. Darling left last week for the Pas, Manitoba, to examine some mining properties in that district." . "The marriage of two popular and esteemed young people of the town took place bn Wednesday of last week when Charles Jamieson and Miss Pearl Arâ€" cher were united in the bonds of maâ€" trimony, the ceremony being performâ€" ed by Rev. J. D. Parks. Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson will take up residence in the house recently cccupied by Mr. and Mrs. Killingbeck. Their many friends in the camp will extend sincere good wishes." "J. D. MacLean left on Tuesâ€" day for a visit down on the farm at his home in New Liskeard. Jack has proâ€" mised to be back ‘here sure for the Fireâ€" men‘s annual ball on May 24th." ‘Misses Caroline E. Smallcombe and Leila B. Gott, of Cobalt, made a surâ€" prise visit to Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Hughess, 46 Fourth avenue." "A Finâ€" lander on Fifth avenue attempted to commit suicide by drinking muriatic acid last week. He either took too much or too little, and now is on the way ot recovery. No reason is known at present for the attempted selfâ€"desâ€" truction." "Mr. Grills, of the W. N. P. H. Stock jewelry store, returned on Friday last after a two weeks‘ visit to Toronto, Hamilton and other points south." "Mrs. Jas. D. Cockburn, of Schumacher, returned last week from a visit to several months to the Old Country, accompanied by her daughâ€" ter who has been completing her eduâ€" cational course in England. Mr. Cockâ€" burn and son met them in Toronto on their way here, and the family will take up residence in Schumacher in the house formerly occupied by the pastor of the Schumacher church." "W. Twaddle returned on Sunday "rom A visit to Owen Sound, Toronto, and other points south, accompanied by his bridse, formerly Miss M. Thompson, of the public school staff here.
