Elgin €471). or any steamship agent The big day of sports given at Timâ€" mins, on July 1st, 1920, under the ausâ€" pices of the Great War Veterans‘ Asâ€" sociation proved a successful and agreeâ€" able occasion. The attendance was large and the programme well handled and the finances very satisfac.:ory. This, of course, was to be expected for Timmins always gave generous supâ€" port to any worthy cause and the G.W. V.A. was strong in membership aAt the time and active in helpful work. More remarkable, perhaps, was the fact that the weather was ideal. It did not »ven look like rain or cold at any time 1uring the day. The Timmins Citizens‘ Band opened proceedings with a band soncert that was much enjoyed. Slow car races caused much amusement J. Dalton winning first honours for both four and six cylinder cars in the‘slow racing. There was an :mpressive of field and track evenis and sports, with good prizes for all items. The list of â€"prize winners and events o¢câ€" cupied over a column in The Advance. The baby show was one of the special features. Dr. J. A. McInnis, mayor of the town, as medical man, mayor man, pronounced the thirty youngsters entered in the baby show as the finest collection possible of besautiful bables. First prize in the baby show was won by Herbert Hatton, second by Armand Allaire, with special mention given to Alice Dodge, J. Wilson, Ronald Lake and Tom King. The judges were Reove CGallagher, of Tisdale, Geo. A. Smith, of Timmins, and Dr. McInnis. The boxâ€" ing bouts in the Old Empire theatre drew a wellâ€"filled house and were much enjoyved. Young â€" Kelly won from Moore; P.‘J. O‘Neill won from F. Gauâ€" thier; Kid Burns was an easy winner| in his bout with a pricked opponent; | Blais won from Desormeaux, though the latter put up such a game fight: that he won special attention, and when it was remembered that he was not fully recovered from an injury received some time ago to his arm, his showing , was all the more remarkable. Timmins : won the girls‘ baseball match, defeatâ€"| ing Schurnacher 20 to 16. The married men won from the single men at footâ€" ball. Timmins won from the Hollinâ€" ger at baseball, 16 to 5, with the game much better than the score might sugâ€" gest. One of the features of the big day that caused much favourable comâ€" ment was the refreshment booth conâ€" ducted by the Ladies of Charity. The people were lined up three and four deep before this booth most of the day, despite the number of efficient waiters and the clever way they handled the '\"m i. it * Ten Years Ago At the annual tournament of the Temiskaming Volunteer Firemen‘s Asâ€" sociation held at Cochrane on July 1st, 1920, Timmins won three firsts, one second and two third prizes out of six contests entered. Timmins won the reel race in 57 seconds, thus establishâ€" ing a new récord for that race. Haileyâ€" bury was second with a time of 60 seâ€" conds. Haileybury won the ladder race in 17 seconds. W. G. Smith was first in the firemen‘s race. Joe Brennan won first for swimming. Chief Borland was second in the fire chief‘s race. Timmins was third in the wagon race and third in the ladder race. In both these latter events the mud at Cochâ€" rane was largely responsible for the way the teams was graded, the Timmins firemen finding the Cochrane mud new experience. Ten years ago James Price, of Cobalt, asked the Cobalt council for financial assistance to develop what he termed "the coal fielas of the New Liskeard area." He said he knew there was a Iot of coal between Englehart and Coâ€" balt, suggesting that at Uno Park, for instance, coal would be located at 100 to 300 feet from surface. Geologists and mining men totally disagreed with Mtr. Price. A. A. Cole, mining engineer for the T. N. O., for instance, was quoted by The Advance as saying that he did not think there was any reason for believing there was coal in the area referred to. The formation and the age of the rock were complietely against the theory. The Cobalt council naturâ€" ally refused to help finance Mr. Price in his search for coal in the New Liskeard area. The Advance, however, suggested that it might be well worth while for grounds where the annual firemen‘s tournament was in progress. A bird‘s net was noticed in the tree and Mr. Proulx in holiday spirit climbed the tree to secure the nest. A rotten limb broke and Mr. Proulx was thrown to the ground. He had his leg broken and sustained other injuries He was picked up in an unconscious condition and hurried to the hospital but died a few hours afterwards without reâ€" gaining conscioysness. An unfortunate and unusual accident ccurred at Cochrane on July Ist, whereby Edward Proulx, a painter in the employ of the Abitibi Co. at Iroâ€" uois Falls, lost his life. He and his wife and child were having their lunch beneath a tree on the outskirts of the Mr. Cole and other mining experts to interview Mr. Price to see what facis were behind his theory, so that if there was any knowledge that he had which was not possessed by others the counâ€" try might have the advantage. The death of Dan Somnovitch, a Rusâ€" sian well known in Timmins for several years, was briefly recorded in The Adâ€" vance of July 7th, 1920. The late Dan Somnovitch was 57 years of age at the time of his death and was survived Dy 2 widow living here. Ten years ago The Advance had the following item of special interest:â€"Last week an old lady of over eighty years of age arrived in Timmins and sought information a@at ‘the station regarding From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO in Timmins The Advance ten years ago was urgâ€" ing Angus McDonald, M.P., for this riding (then Temiskaming) to use his best efforts to have one of the captured } German guns sent here as a souvenir of the war in which Timmins and the: Porcupine gave such good service. Thse Advance noted that Cobal and Haileyâ€". bury had been given captured German guns as souvenirs of the war and it was pointed out that while the matier might not be very important it was only fair that in this particular case Timmins should not be overlooked. There seemed to be alibgether too much disposition at Ottawa to give Timmins and this part of the North Land a minimum of consideration. The Advance thought that Timmins should have at least one souvenir gun, though, of course, there were many other things badly needed here. One of these was the establishment of a new post office building to handle in adeâ€" quate way the growth of the postal business in this progressive â€"town. The first U.F.O. picnic for the North Land was held at Englehart ten years ago, with a large attendante from the U.F.O.~ clubs of Temiskaming. The principal speakers were:â€"Mrs. Law, secretary of the U.F.O. Women; Harold Currie, of Middlesex; and Capt. Tom Magladery, M.P.P. for Temiskaming. In referring to the event The Advance said:â€""Angus McDonald, M.P. for Temiskaming, had been expected to be present but could not be in attendance at Englehart on account of the other picnic at Ottawa. Many people conâ€" fuse the U.F.O. and the O.B.U., and this annoys both of them. The U.F.O. it may be said, is the United Farmers of Ontario, and the O.B.U. is the One Big Union. The point of resemblance between them is that they have spilled the beans for both existing and estabâ€" lished political parties and made quite an unusual and annoying muss in the kitchen of public affairs." her relatives here. She had travelled safely by herself all the way from Belâ€" gium, though unable to speak any Engzâ€" lish. At the deppt someone directed her to the authorities and she was soon at her destination. She is the motner of Mr. Van Alken, baker, of Timmins. The family did not expect her, so there was no one at the station here to welcome her. Her arrival at the homs, however, was the signal for a very sinâ€" cere and enthusiastic welcome." A letter received by Dr. J. A. McInâ€" nis, mayor of Timmins, some ten years ago, expressed the appreciation felt by the United States editors who visited Timimins on June 24th, 1920. There were about 150 in the party of U.S. editors and theirâ€"wives who toured the North. One sentence from the letter referred to shows the feslings of the party in regard to their visit to Timâ€" mins:â€"*"You and your committee left nothing undone to make our stay a pleasant one, and we carry away memâ€" ories of Timmins that will never be forgottemn." The letter was signed by the president and secretary of the Naâ€" tional Editorial Association and a numâ€" ber of the prominent members. The Advance of July 7th, 1920, had the following marriage notice:â€""Skinnerâ€" McMillanâ€"At the home of Mr. an» Mrs. D. Mackie, 25 Tamarack stress, Timmins, on Friday, July 2nd, 1920, at 5 pm., by Rev. J. D. Parks, Elizabeth McCarter, eldest daughter of Alexander McMillan, West Calder, Midâ€"Lothian, Scotland, niece of Mrs. Mackie, to John Skinner, San Matao, California, U.S.A., formerly of West Calder, Scotland. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner will take up reâ€" sidence at San Matao, California." Reference was made in The Advance ten years ago to the fact that the new brickâ€"making rilant at Matheson was in active operation. Its capacity then was 15 to 20 thousand bricks per day. It was understood that ths» product was of superior kind and would be sold at $25.00 per thousand f.0.b. Matheson. "This will mean cheaper ‘brick of a better kind for the North Land," said The Advance. Reference was made ten years az> in The Advance to a tour to Eursps conâ€" ducted by Dr. Jas. L.

Lawler will join them shontly, the family intending to take up residence there. Previous to leaving Mrs. Lawlor was presented with an address and a beautiful gold locket and chain, with a rosary, from the Ladies of Charity, for her untiring efforts, in this and all other good causes." "The news features at the New Empire theatre this week are more than just good. They are chiefly Caradian topics and all very interesting and wellâ€"screened. The Pas dog derby is featured, as are also some striking reels of the beautiful town of Iroquois Falls."‘ "Mr. and Mrs. R.

Dr. Porter was the medical officer with the 5th Battalion, and won his M.C. at Passchendale." "Dr. R. H. Brown is giving striking demonstration of what can be done in the way of horticulture in this North Land. His specialty is pansies and in the flower bed in front of his residence on Fourth avenue he has a large flower. Some of the pansies are remarkable for their size and colouring, some of the darker shaded varieties being especially beauâ€" tiful and unusual."
