Pay Only $ 5°00 down for an ‘ The Advance ten years ago told of a Ibush fire in the Matachewan area that exploded a ton of dynamite and so !caused a very serious loss. Fortunately | there was no one nearby when the exâ€" plosion occurred and so only "long disâ€" |tance reports of the occurrence were 'available. The men in the Matacheâ€" | wan area had been fighting bush fires | but the heat of the flames drove them | back some distance. William Ne!lson | had been taking in supplies to work on property near Fort Matachewan when he was driven back by the fires, leaving his supplies, including twenty cases of dynamite. The fire crept up Ten years ago The Advance waxed both angry and sarcastic over the nuiâ€" sance, cost and annoyance of the soâ€" called luxury taxes. The Advance was not objecting to the taxation to pay for the war, or even to the taxation of the articles selected. What was strenuâ€" ously objected to was the way it was attempted to collect these taxes. In some cases, the accounting necessary to collect the taxes on the plan laid out by the law then meant @an outlay for the firms concerned of many times the tax collected. In the first place the firms and individuals concerned had no way of knowing what they were reâ€" quired to do. Their own information in the matter was from news items in the newspapers, and the newspapers differed in opinion so badly that the whole thing was a desperate muddle. No circular or newspaper advertising was used to advise the people as to what was what in regard to the luxury taxes, and the result was much injusâ€" tice. The Union Government also had the audacity to boast about how little it cost to collect these luxury taxes, while as a matter of fact the cost of collection was outrageous, but the poor firms centred upon were the ones that had to pay. Eventually all the objecâ€" tionable features in regard to the colâ€" lection of the taxes were removed, and there was not complaint even when some of the taxes were increased. _ "Another Wreck but T. N. O. Luck Never Fails" was a heading in The Adâ€" vance of June 9th, 1820. The story was of a coach on one of the passenger trains, the said coach jumping the track. No damage was done of any on the spot where the supplies were stored and the dynamite went off with a bang. The explosion could be heard and felt for a considerable distance. Speaking of bush fires The Advance in the same issue told of the bush fires that had been comparatively close to Timmins in the previous week or two. Fortunately, however, all these fires were practically out. On the Sunday previous to the issue of the paper conâ€" siderable damage had been done by a fire that had crossed the river not far from the landing and had destroyed a number of ties belonging to one conâ€" tractor. At Pottsville the same day the bush fires appeared quite dangerous, but a change in the wind turned the fires from Porcupine and South Porâ€" cupine. Much damage was done by fires in the vicinity of Barber‘s Bay, Connaught and elsewhere along the branch. Rains falling copiously in the district did much to dampen the bush fires in this district. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO moment, no one was hurt. The delay caused only amounted toâ€"a couple of â€" Complaints about the scavenger serâ€" vice was so frequent ten years ago and there were so many disputes as to when and how often the scavenger was told about filaws in the the service that the council decided to insist that comâ€" plaints to the scavenger or about the scavenger must be all placed in writâ€" ing so that there would be actual reâ€" cord. This plan resulted in a very On May 26th, 1920, Robert Gibson, a returned man thought to be from thel Navy, but practically a stranger in thp' Porcupine was drowned at Hoyle. The, body was not recovered from the river until June 5th, 1920. Gibson had come} to Timmins in a friendless and penniâ€"| less condition and H. C. Garner of the,. Government employment bureau had1 advanced him money to go to Hoyle to, take a position there. He only worked‘ at Hoyle for a short time before he lost his life. He had gone fishing and was not seen again until his dead body' was recovered from the water. It was thought that he might have fallen into the water while in an epileptic seisure. There was only about three feet of water where he was drowned. Tatioced on one arm was a design of a sword and a heart, with the words, "Death before Dishonour." The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "On Monday the young son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Jeffrey was badly bitten in the face by the dog owned for some time by Mr. Jeffrey. The dog, although not friendly to strangers, always was quiet and goodâ€"humoured around the house, but on Monday suddenly became vicâ€" ious and apparently without any reason attacked the little boy. The lad‘s face was torn and several stitches were reâ€" quired to close the wound. . Prompt medical attention, however, has guardâ€" ed against any serious injury, and apart from his present suffering with the injury the lad will be little the worse for the unfortunate accident. The dog was at once destroyed. Football matches mentioned by The Advance ten years ago, together with the scores, were as follows:â€"Iroquois Falls won from Timmins, 2 to 1; Porâ€" cupineâ€"Dome won from McIntyre, 4 to 0; South Porcupine Junior won from Timmins Juniors, 4 to 0. His Lordship Bishop Latulippe of the Roman Catholic diocese of Temiskamâ€" ing, paid an episcopal visit to Timâ€" mins ten years ago and was warmly welcomed by the parishioners here. During the bishop‘s visit to Timmins crowds daily thronged to the church to receive the episcopal blessing and the numerous services at which His Lordâ€" ship spoke in both French and Engâ€" lish were very largely attended. About this time in the year 1920 the Timmins firemen were called to Sixth avenue to put out a fire in the muskeg. It developed that the fire in the musâ€" keg was caused about as follows:â€"A woman set out a bonfire to burn up some rubbish. The fire got away and took a grip upon the muskeg quite comâ€" mon at that time in that part of Sixth avenue. The fire chief and some of his men went down to the scene of the fire, taking a quantity of hose with them. A little time spent with the hose succeeded in puting out the ground fire before any damage was done. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "Dr Chas. J. Woodbury, of Oakland, California, came to the camp last week to visit his son, Mr. Vincent Woodbury. Dr. Woodbury is a noted educationalist and lecturer, and has just concluded J lecture tour including the leading cenâ€" tres of culture of the U. S. A." Ten years ago "Jimmy" Simpson, wellâ€"known in the North as a Labour Leader, was before the court on a charge of libelling two other Labour leaders in his paper, The Industrial Banner. The court awarded one $4,000 and the other $1,500 with costs against the Industrial Banner. The Advance commented at the time that if Jimmy Simpson could pay $6,000 or $7,000 in damages and costs it would show that running a straight Labour paper was more profitable than the straight labour of running the ordinary kind of newsâ€" paper. Ten years ago The Advance was putâ€" ting up a battle to see that the Mattaâ€" gami river was kept open for navigâ€" ation. A big bunch of ties being brought down the river completely blocked navigation for some time and The Advance did not think this was right. The Advance among other things said:â€"*"The settlers as a conâ€" sequence are much inconvenienced and many of them put to actual loss. In the summer months the Mattagami is practically their only highway to town. The trouble arose from ‘the fact that a contractor tried to handle more ties on the river at one time than could be accommodated in the waterway. The Government can spend thousands of dollars for special agents to see that the Hquor laws are enforced, why not a few dollars for an inspector to assure the free use of what belongs to all the peopleâ€"the use of this navigable stream?" It is interesting to note that the Ontario Government has been able to practically stop the blocking of the river simply by having one of the offiâ€" cials of the Lands and PForests departâ€" ment plan a scheme whereby all those using the river for drives may be acâ€" commodated without unreasonable inâ€" terferance with the public. The plan in the past two years has worked so well that The Advance does not mind all the cursings given this paper from some quarters in regard to the conâ€" tinued agitation against allowing the river to be blocked for navigation. }material lessening of complaints as it | was found that the Ccomplaints were not so many as had been thought and | the scawvenger was also found to be payâ€" ing far more attention to any comâ€" plaints received than had been believed. The record kept about the scavenger ‘ service proved of much value all round. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€" "H. C. McDonald, who has been manager of the Imperial Bank branch here for the past two or three years, has resigned from thaet position and accepted the post of chief accounâ€" tant at the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines here. Mr. Sutherland, of Galt, arrived here last night to take the bosition of manager of this branch of the Imperial Bank." "Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
