the death but it was found that the death was due to natural causes. On August $tn, }%the Timmins town council struck tax rate for the year. The total tax rate for pubâ€" lic school supporters was 44 mills on the dollar ang45 mills for separate school supperters. Those present at the council meeting were Councillors E. L. Longmore, L. S. Newton and D. Laprairie, with Mayor Dr. McIunis preâ€" siding. In view of the nuumber of special shows, midways, etc., etc., here in this year of grace 1930, the followâ€" ing paragraph from the report in The Advance of this council meeting of 1920@ ‘will be of special interest:â€""Mr. Fox applied for a license to nduct a ball game, Sane game, etc., in a tent or enclosure. The regular fee charged by the town, he thought too high for the business he would do. The mayor thought such games all right for special sports days, holidays, etc., but hardly to be encouraged as a regular feature. Councillor Laprairie made similar comâ€" ment and Councillors Longmore and Newton were not in favour of any specâ€" ial encouragement to such features, there being cnough temptations alâ€" ready for the unfruitful spending of money. The chief of police also sugâ€" gested that such a feature would tempt young boys to spend all their money, with the added feature that they would be tempted to get money improperly to squander.

Manning Doherty, minister of ‘ agriculture for the province of Ontario, | were visitors to the Porcupine camp ‘ ten years ago, and were interviewed on behalf of the North Land by leading citizens of Timmins and the district. They gave careful consideration to all the proposals made to them and proâ€" lmised the most thoughtful attention. !Messrs Mac Lang, M.P.P., and Tom Magladery, M.P.P., were among those accompanying the ministers on their visit here and the premier referred to i their persisting in urging the interests ! of the North Land. The attention of | the premier was specially directed to | the matter of the proposed North Land 'highway and roads in general and l roads in particular for settlers, the proâ€" ; tection from the forest fire menace, and | other important questions. That visit | may have given the North Land people lhopc. but not much more than hope i resulted. Several recent references in this colâ€" umn showed that ten years ago the Hollinger baseball team was a leader in the twilight league and had a habit of winning practically all its games. In William Lacey, in the employ of Morâ€" row and Beatty, contractors, was caught in a cable at Twin Falls on Aug. 8th, 1920, and met death through the accident. In the work of putting in the dam at Twin Falls the cable was part of the apparatus used for hauling rock and sand over a trestleway. The unfortunate man in some way became entangled in the cable and was crushed and battered to death. He was a marâ€" ried man, his home being in Niagara Falls He was a member of the I. O. O. F., and special funeral services were conducted on Monday at Matheson, after which the body was shipped to Niagara Palls for interment. the fyles ten yvears ago mention was made of a weekâ€"end game where the Hollinger won 16 to 15 over the Mcâ€" Intyre. In the third innings the score stood 14 to 4 in favour of the McIntyre and "Lefty" wanted to bet "Joe" then that the Hollinger was going to be trimmed. Joe took up the bet, always believing in sticking up for his team no matter how hopeless the case looked. When the Hollinger team heard of the apparentiy hopeless bet, they tightened up and went on and won the game by a margin of one. During the past fifteen years it hos always been the practice of The Adâ€" vance to be on time in publishing. All the times the paper has been late could be counted on the fingers of one hand. But ten years ago The Advance had to apologize for a slight delay in the issuâ€" ing of the paper, the delay being caused by the disarrangement of afâ€" fairs following the installation of new machinery. The new machinery inâ€" cluded a new newspaper press and a Miller automatic job press. At that time this was the only automatic job press in the North Land. It was promptly named "Nellie," because it was such a good girl and gave no trouâ€" ble. Since then The Advance has inâ€" stalled another automatic press.

The second au-i tomatic is even better and more speedy. one of the plans of the Drury Gov-| ernment in regard to the North Land | was to test out this country as ‘ ranching section. In connection with' these plans Hon. Mr. Doherty, Minisâ€" ter of Agriculture, raised considerable merriment at the Monteith picnic, acâ€"| cording to The Advance ten years ago.. To quote The Advance at the time:â€" "Much amusement was caused by Hon.: Ma'.nning Doherty‘s method of anâ€" ncuncing the appointment of a ranch ertnment farm at Monteith. Mr. Doherty ment farm at Monteith. Mr. Doherty said that the specialist was at present at Burwash (where the provincial pirisâ€" on farm is situated). "As soon as he can get away from Burwash," the Minâ€" ister commenced, and there was laughâ€" ter. "He is only at Burwash for the time being," Mr. Doherty went on hurâ€" riedly to explain, but there was more laughter. ‘"As soon as his term e°xâ€" pires at Burwash," was another way Mr. Doherty tried to show the situaâ€" tion. When the laughter subsided Mr. Dcoherty said that what he really meant was that the ranch specialist had been sent to Burwash, but he would be free in a short time and as soon as he was released he could be put to work at Monteith. The ranch speâ€" cialist will make the Burwash farm inâ€" to a practical upâ€"toâ€"date working farm where ranching will be a specialty." Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""When passing through North Bay last week the new premier of Canada, Hon.
