His innumâ€" / i o n o n t e L y hy CC The disappearance of Mayor McCouâ€" brey of Iroquois Falls some ten or more years ago while he was on visit to Montreal created considerable sensaâ€" tion as he was well known throughout the North Land and pirominent in many circles. It was two months before he was located and then it was found that he had answered the call of the sea, being an cldâ€"time sailor. At Montreal, according to the despatches, the imâ€" pulse of ‘the moment had proved irâ€" resistible and he had shipped for voyage. On arriving at an Irish port he had communicated with his family and thus relieved anxiety as to his safety. W 1 Tss Hon. Harry Mills, Minister of Mines for Ontario, together with E. F. Sutherâ€" land, chief mining inspector, visited the North Land ten years ago, Timmins being among the places visited. The mines here were visited. Only a few in town knew of the visit, and accordâ€" ingly there was no public recognition of this kind visit here of the first memâ€" ber of the Ontario Government to be exclusively Minister of Mines. The assessment roll of the town of Timmins for 1920 gave the town A population of 4081. Of this number 3,â€" 372 were adults and 631 children beâ€" tween the ages of 5 and 16, and 78 from 16 to 21 years. The portilation showed a decrease of 528 from 1919 figures. The total assessment for 1920 was $2,â€" 445,264.00, as against $2,025,613.00 the previous year. On July l1ith, 1920, twentyâ€"eight or twentyâ€"nine buildings at what was then known as the "YÂ¥" at Iroquois Falls, and tater called Ansonville, were burned down. Most of the buildings destroyed were frame shacks, tarâ€"paper covered. None of the buildings carried any inâ€" surance, and most of them were owned by foreigners, chiefly employees of the Abitibi Co. The disaster was caused by bush fires creeping up to the little setâ€" tlement. The business places of the town were not destroyed. The Adâ€" vance pointed out at the time tha: contrary to the general rumours in cirâ€" culation in Timmins the town of Iroâ€" quois Falls and the Abitibi plant were not endangered at any time by the fire. The lack of fireâ€"fighting equipâ€" ment made it practically impossible to do anything to check the spread of the fire. It practically burned itself out. A game in the Porcupine baseball league ten years ago between the Dome and Timmins, played at South Porcuâ€" pine t,.ook eleven innings to decide. Of course it was not in the same class as the famous thirteenâ€"innings game later on between Timmins and Iroquois Falls when "Peewee" Acquin won undying fame and got the surprise of his young life when he hit the third strike on him, after fanning four or five times, and brought in the run that won the match for Timmins. In the Domeâ€"Timâ€" mins game at South Porcupine, howâ€" ever, the contest was a very keen one. The score at the end of the ninth was 9â€"9. The final score, after eleven inâ€" nings was 12 to 11, Timmins winrin‘g out by the narrow margin of one run. One of the spectacular features of the game was the wonderful barehandec:’ catch by Frank Evans that made Lefty | Farr walk away shaking his hea,d' Geo. Gray and Chalk were the battery| for the dome. The lineâ€"up for Timâ€" Ten Years Ago From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles. in Timmins Iroquois Falls ten years ago won the first game of the King football cup, defeating the Mcintyres by the score of 3 to 2, after a hardâ€"fought battle. The game was played at Schumacher and there was great interest in the match. After the game the Schumacher team entertained the visitors in very pleasâ€" ing fashion. The Iroquois Falls team was formally presented with the Dickâ€" son cup won by them in the series just Alosed and they took the trophy home with them for the season. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "‘The Volunteer Fire Brigade had a meeting on Monday evening after foolâ€" ing the fire chief into believing they would not meet until later. After thney got the chief out of the hall, the boys went on with some special business, one of the items being a resolution of apâ€" preciaition and esteem for Chief Borland this to be backed up by a cheque of $1v0.00 to show they meant it all." at South Porcupine. The following were the officers installed for the Timâ€" mins lodge, D.D.G.M. Bro. Axler, of Cochrane, being the installing officer: ILP.G., A. H. Cooke; N.G., Geo. S. Drew; V.G.., J. Brough; recording secretary, W. G. Smith; F.S., A. G. Sheppard; Treas., D. McInnis; Con., W. A. Field; Warden, A. G. Luxton; R.S.N.G., J. Morrison; LS.N.G., C. Swanson; R.S.S., w. G.

Good":â€"‘"Fire Chief A. Borland this week received a letter from J. D. Macâ€" Lean, formerly town foreman and deâ€" puty fire chief here. The contents of that letter will make Jack‘s hosts of friends here so delighted that they will be longing for the opportunity to hit him with something just to see if it is all true. According to that letter, Jack some weeks ago completed his medical treatment in Toronto, and the course this time was an actual and full sucâ€" cess. "Never felt better in my life," says Jack. "When, I believe I could even trim up young Pete now." His innumâ€" erable friends in the camp will be deâ€" lighted to know that Jack has comâ€" pletely recovered his health anc strength after his long siege. He has a good position with a big motor manuâ€" facturing concern in the city of Deâ€" troit, likes the place, the town, the peoâ€" ple, and all goes well with this corruâ€" gated Old Terrorâ€"good luck to him!" Note was made ten years ago of the fact that the registration for letters, etc.. would hereafter be ten cents, AaCâ€" cording to the cheapâ€"skate announceâ€" ment sent out by the detartment of newspapers with the hope that they would publish it free. Mrs. Alexina Giroux, wife of Arthur Giroux, died on July $th, 1920, after an illness of some three months from petrâ€" nicious anaemia. The deceased was born at Buckingham, Que., about thirty years ago, and was very highly esteemâ€" ed by all who knew her here. Sincere sympathy is extended to the husband in his sad loss. The remains were takâ€" en to Ritter, Ont., for interment. Fines for breach of the Ontario Temâ€" perance Act one week at this time ten years ago in the police court at Timâ€" mins totalled nearly $5,000.00. _ Only about half of this amount was for town cases, the provincial police prosecuting the other cases. The erection of a big pulp and paper mill at Kapuskasing, where the Ontario Government‘s Soldierâ€"Settlers‘ settleâ€" ment had been, was announced : ten years ago. No particulars were availâ€" able at the time as to the interests that were behind the venture, but it was known that the Farmers‘ Government of the day was dickering about the matâ€" ter, though nothing definite seemed to be arrived at. Announcement was made in July, 1920, that it was the intention to open the Northern Academy, Monteith, as residental school for boys and girls, the first term to commence in the fall. The plan was to furnish to boys ant girls of high school entrance standing or higher an opportunity to obtain a complete and thorough education unâ€" der the most favourable conditions. The building was described by Assistant Chief Inspector J. B. McDougall as exâ€" cellent for the purpose, well heated, provided with electric lights, sanitary and other equipment, as well as comâ€" wete kitchen and dormitory facilities. The chief aim was to provide home conditions and infiuences as well as educational facilities along the lines suggested. Among the local and personal note: in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Of course, it rained on the twelfth of July." "Oscar Robertson, of South Porcupine, has been appointed to the staff of the customs office at Cobalt, and left last week to take up his duties there." "New Liskeard is looking for a new chief of police, J. Bilow having resigned the position." "The Mattaâ€" gami Pulp Paper Co. at Smooth Rock aFlis are reported as increasing their present capacity from 125 to 250 tons of pulp daily." "L. Stadelman, of Coâ€" balt, was a visitor to town over the weekâ€"end, visiting his brother, Ivan, and cther relatives and friends in town." "Sincere sympathy will be exâ€" tended to Mr. and Mrs. John Walsh in the death of their infant daughter, Mary Walsh, on July 8th. Death was due to indigestion, the little girl, who' was only six months and fifteen days old at the time of death, having sufferâ€" ed practically from birth from this trouble. The interment took place on Friday to the Timmins R.C. cemetery.". "J. R. Gordon, of Toronto, is in town this week on business." "Bornâ€"In South Porcupine, on Tuesday, July 6th, 1920, to Mr. and Mrs. M. Smithâ€"a daughter." ‘"Mrs. Chas. McInnis and family, of South Porcupine, are spendâ€" ing a vacation at Manilla, Ont., and . other points south." ‘"Mrs. A. Shaheen and children of Timmins are visiting Mrs. Shaheen‘s mother, Mrs. David. Dymond township." "Miss Davidson of the Upper Canada Tract Society was in the camp last week collecting for the work of the society."‘ "Mrs. V. Woodâ€" bury and Master Francis are away on a two months‘ vacation to be spent at the Thousand Islands and other places south.‘‘ "Mrs. Twaddle, mcother of Messrs W. and J. Twaddle, of town, arrived here last night from Scotland, accompanied by her two other sons and her daughter. The family will take up residence on Elm street."‘ "Nelson Hull, a wellâ€"known oldâ€"time prospecâ€" tor of the Nonth Land, is reported dead at Montreal. He had prospected in Porcupine and other districts, in fact through most district of the North, but more recently was chiefly interested in the Tashota area." "Messrs Arthiu and Thomas Carveth and Mr. Dale, of Lancashire, England, last week paid a visit to the Carveth Gold Mines, Thomas township, Night Hawk Lake district. They are directors of the company owning this mine. Diamond drilling and other exploratory and deâ€" velopment work is planned for the Carveth claims in the near future." "The Timmins L.O.L. leadge held their annual church parade on Sunday to the Presbyterian church, about 25 or 30 members of the lodge and visiting brethren being in the line of march. There was also a large‘congregation of other attendants at church for this evening service. Rev. J. D. Parks preached a very able sermon on the thought of the church in its relation to serviceâ€"the service the people owed !-to the church, and the service the church could do for humanity.. This double idea of service Rev. Mr. Parks also applied to the Orange Order, showing that faithfulness to the preâ€" lcepts of the society meant also faithâ€" !fulness to the service of their fellowâ€" men." MOVING FROM KIRKLAND LAKE TO SOUTH PORCUPINE The Northern News, 0of Kirklanc Lake, last week says:â€""C. R. Sellar, of South Porcupine, spent the weekâ€"end in town returning on Tuesday accomâ€" panied by Mrs. Sellar and Stanley. They will make their kome in South Porcupine, Colin, Jr., is remaining in Cobalt for the "YÂ¥" camp. Last Friday Mrs. Walter Binny entertained the Eastern Star Ladies in honour of Mrs. Sellar when she was presented with a pretty cut glass cream and sugar set and on Sunday evening the United Church choir, of which Mrs. Sellar has been a faithful member for some time, gave her an end table. Mrs. Disley parchased Mr. Sellar‘s house." BEANLAND CLATMS IN THE TIMAGAMI FOREST RESERVE W. F. Bennett and his associates in the Bennettâ€"Pacaud organization have completed a deal for the Beanland claims, located at Arsenic Lake, in the Timagami forest reserve, says The Norâ€" thern Miner. The property consists of twelve claims, about one and a half miles north of Timagami station on the T. N. 0. Railway. The Ferguson highway also passes through the group. Suitable buildings for the accommoâ€" dation of about 30 men have been erected, an 80â€"h.p. boiler, a compressor and other machinery have been installâ€" ed. The preperty has been under exâ€" amination and sampling for. several months. Tenders are being called for an exâ€" tensive diamond drilling campaign to be carried on during the summer menths. This will be followed by unâ€" derground work if the property reâ€" snponds. A subsidiary to Bennettâ€" Pacaud, will be organized. Shareholdâ€" ers of the latter will own control. Extensive channelling has indicated two ore shoots of minable width, carryâ€" ing commercial values in gold, extendâ€" ing for several hundred feet on surface, Mr. Bennett reports.
