Some of the letters received by Mr. St. Onge have been handed over to the police though he ces not set much weight to the idea of anyone trying to burn him out. He says he has never injured anybody and does not believe he had any enecmies who have any reason to hurt him in such a way." During the absence on holiday ten years ago of the mayor, Dr. J. A. Mcâ€" Innis, Councillor L. S. Newton was actâ€" ing mayor of Timmins. There was no meeting of the council for the second Monday in September, 1920, on account of so many of the councillors being out of town. Ten years ago there were some roads in the North Land. There were even some good automobile roads, and some bad automobile roads even as it presâ€" ent, as witness this item in The Adâ€" vance of Sept. 15th, 1920:â€""Dr. Cramm of Gowganda, made the trip from Gowâ€" ganda to Cobalt this week by auto in 2 hours and 25 minutes for the 28. He says the road from Elk Lake to Gowâ€" zanda is not too bad, but from EIlk Lake to Earlton is not so easily describâ€" od in polite language." Karl Wreyer, who for a number of years was a member of the Marshallâ€" Ecclestone staff as a purchasing agent for supplies, etc., met ten years ago ad by H. Crimp and J. A. Theriault. A house owned by Mr. McNulty, and just in course of construction was also, scorched, but the greater part of this new house was saved. The nearness of the buildings to each other and their lizsht construction gave the fire great scops. There was also a quantity of lumber and woodwork on the St. Onge spent much time and money on its imâ€" provement and extension. Before the fire was noticed the blaze had control of the St. Onge buildings, and the next two houses were also past saving. Beâ€" fore the fire could be brougni under zsontrol it had destroyed the house and mill and wood works of Mr. Dan St. Onge (these all being practiâ€" sally under the one roof), the home of Mrz. L. Lacasse, and small houses ownâ€" the same year, though it was six months betweéen the posting and the delivery of that letter. The letter was addressâ€" ed to W. A. Field. Apparently the letâ€" ‘er had been lying in the Timmins post office for months without being offered to Mr. Field. On Saturday, Sept. li1ith, 1920, the St. Onge planing mills and three homes in town were destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire was unknown. Mr. St. Onge lost $15,000.00 or more by the fire. The Timmins fire brigade were handicappred in fighting the fire on acâ€" count of the excavations for sewers on Third avenue making it impossible to connsect with the nearest hydrant. The burned buildings were just outside the town limits, but the fire brigade did all that was possible in fighting the fire. In referring to the fire at the time, The Advance said:â€""At the foot of Third avenue hill there are many houses grouped in the vicinity of the St. Onge property. All these buildings were in danger. Many of the cottages caught fire several times but the good work of the fireâ€"fighters confined the damage to the one corner. The St. Onge building, with its ornamented windows, the glass bearing artistic paintings was one of the notable buildâ€" ings of the town. It was a large 2â€" storey structure and Mr. St. Onge had his staff have the matter in hand and the arrest of the two men is expected at any time." Mcontion was made in The Advance ten years ago of a letter that was postâ€" cd in Renfrew, Ont., on March 25th, and reached the Timmins gentleman addressed on September 15th. The Adâ€" vance expressed pleasure that it was noldâ€"up men being able to notice this action. Then he got one of his feet on the money, and prepared to take as good care of himself as possible. The men assaulted him, taking away his lose change. They did not however, get much of negotiable value, the greater part of the money he was carrying beâ€" ing represented by the roll of bills he had contrived to drop on the ground, this roll consisting of some seventyâ€"five #. .. +. # *# # # #* Ten years ago there was a large amount of diamond drilling in progress in the Porcupine camp. There has alâ€" ways been a considerable amount of diamond drill work going on at the Mcâ€" Intyre, Hollinger and Domse, and in adâ€" aition ten years ago this sort of work was in progress at the Cliftonâ€"Porecuâ€" pine, the Carveth, the Miracle and other prospects.

No incident that emphasized this ider was overâ€" looked, and so ten years ago The Adâ€" vance made special reference to the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Norton left Moose River post at 11.50 a.m. on Tuesday and passed Cochrane the same night on the National on their way to Toronto. They came down with Capt. Maxwell, who was at that time running the aeroplane of the Canadian Aero Film Co., between Remi Lake and Moose, and then on its third trip from the North. The air trip of 180 miles from Moose to Remi Lake was made in an hour and fifty minutes. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "Mrs. Marguerite Paquette died last week in the Haileybury hospital, The week rrevious she had been taken down from Timmins, suffering from a parâ€" alytic stroke. After a few days in the hospital at Haileybury where all posâ€" sible was done for her, she passed away. The funeral took place on Wednesday morning last week from the Halleybury cathedral to the R.C. cemetery. Her husband, living in Timmins, survives, and to him and the other near relatives and friends the sympathy of all will be extended in their sad loss." About four columns of the issue of The Advance of Sept. 15th, 1920, was given over to a detailed account of thse preliminary hearing given to a Moneta woman on a charge of unlawfully setâ€" ting fire to a building in Moneta on Sept: ‘and, 1920." WA Gordon," of Haileybury, now the Hcnourable W. A. Gordon, was counsel forâ€"the woman in the case, as well as for herâ€"son. Ths charge against the son was withdrawn, as was also a charge against a lady who had been visiting here at the time of the fire. The woman, whose store had been visited by fire, was committed for trial. As noted last week in this column the woman took ill and was eventually given her liberty on susâ€" pended sentence. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Miss Maggie Hayes, of Ottawa, returned home. on Saturday last after spending a pleasant month the guest of her aunt,. Mrs. W. Baker, _Roference was made ten years ago in The Advance to the accident befalling the aeroplane visiting Timmins on Laâ€" bour Day, 1920. While the accident was a more or less serious one, both the pilot, A. K. Colley, and Dareâ€"Devil Landrigan, the stunt man with him. escaped without any serious injury. Mr. Colley had gone up from New Lisâ€" keard to Englehart to bring Mr. Lanâ€" drigan down. He brought him down in more ways than one. When they reached the beach at New Liskeard and made ready for a landing, light on the water made a confused impression as to the height of the.agroplane. As a consequence the machine was lqowerâ€" ed too soon, or to quickly, or whatever was the wrong thing to do, with the result that it went into the water with more or less of a crash. Messrs Colley and Landrigan were able to get out of the machine, which was resting in about eight feet of water. When the machine fell into the water a call for help was sent in and a large crowd soon gathered at the sence of the accident. It: is ; .an" ‘oddâ€"<coincidâ€" enc that the airship that visited Timâ€" mins last March carried a New Liskeard young man, and after leaving here callâ€" ed at New Liskeard, a story coming back here almost at once that the airâ€" ship had crashed at New Liskeard and the occupants had been seriously hurt. It4 was difficult to understand wha started such a story in 1930, but perâ€" haps it was someone with a long memâ€" ory and improper application thereof. The incident of 1920 may have given riss to the falsse report of 1930. 3 Balsam street, Timmins. This was Miss Hayes‘ first visit to the North, and in her short stay here she made many friends. On a fishing trip last Friday rates. As The Advance ppointed out the increase in rates bore with partiâ€" cular heaviness on the North Land on account of the long distances in this country. As Timmins, for example, was 500 miles from the nearest city, both passenger and freight costs were accordingly greatly increased her. Ten years ago The Advance noted with regret that freight and passenger rates on Canadian railways had been materially increased and these increases applied to the T. N. O. as well as ic the other railroads. The increase in the passenger rates was twenty per cent. and for ,freight there was an inâ€" crease of forty per cent. over previous with a serious accident after he had taken up residence at Barrie where he carried on business as a general supp:y agent. He was riding on a rig with an acquaintance and dropped of at his destination without waiting for the rig to slacken spmed. He fell in front of an approaching automobile and susâ€" tained severe cuts and bruises and other minor injuries. The Advance, however, was pleased to inform his many friends that he was well on the way to reâ€" covery again and would not suffer perâ€" manent harm from the accident, the reports reaching here having exaggerâ€" ated the extent of the injuries sustainâ€" ed.

LONG Train Service The latest news letter from ‘the Doâ€" minion Bureau of Statistiecs deals wilh the matter of juvenile delinguency. While this is a matter dealt with by the provinces, statistics for thne Doâ€" minicn are interesting. The situation in Ontario is slightly different to that throughout the Domnion as this proâ€" vince for years has given special attenâ€" tion to juvenile deliquency. The annual report of Juvenile Delinâ€" quency for the Dominion for the year ended September 30, 1929, gives the number of cases dealt with in the courts for that year as 10,509. Of these, 237 were dismissed cases of major charges, and 2446 cases adjourned sine die, leaving 7,826 proven cases. Of these latter 5,106 were major and 2,720 were minor offences. This is an increase of 43 major and 84 minor offences, as compared with 1928. The total cases increased 3.7 p.c. The major offences increased .9 p.c. and the minor 3.2 p.c. DOMINION STATISTICS ON JUVENILE DELINQUENCY A despatch from Cobalt last week says that good progress is being made in the erection of the first new house to be built in Cobalt in a number of years. The building is being put up on Russell St. and is a residence for Rev. Father Chapleau, of St. Therese‘s church. It is located on the ground immediately adjcining the church, with which it will be connected, and will be two storeys high, of frame construction on a concrete foundation. In connecâ€" tion with the work, the house at the Coniagas mine, formerly occupied by Fraser D. Reid, the manager, has ‘been purchased, and some of the fixtures of that property will be incorporated into the new building. For years the priests of the church lived on the Coleman township site of the La Rose bridge, adjoining the church that was blown down in the big storm of 1912, but latâ€" terly Father Chapleau has been living in a house on Earle St. During the past eight years in which these reports on juvenile delingquency have been prublished the increase in the total proven cases has been 17.9 p.c. or an average of 2.2 p.c. per year. The principal class of offences in the major class is, as has always been, theft, which including breaking and entering constituted 794 p.c. of the total number of offences. Of the 2,720 minor delinqguents 691 were cases of breaches of municipal byâ€" laws, 343 disorderly conduct and disâ€" turbing the peace, 327 incorrigibility, 484 trespass, and 327 truancy. Of the 7.826 total delinquents 6,556 were reported from the principal urban centres, 1,270 from the rural districts, or 83.8 p.c. for the cities and 16.2 p.c. for the less closely settled districts. that made it a delight for all on the party. At points of special interest, like the birthplace of Robert Burns. and famous war scenes, Dr. Hughe: gave addresses that were most illuminâ€" ative and added much to the interest and value of the trip." "On Saturday traffic on the T. N. O. was delayed (that is, was sprcially and specifically delayed) by a freight car getting partâ€" ly on and partly off the track near Temagami. Following the invariable T. N. O. practice in such cases no one was hurt in the wreck, but also following the invariable practice of ‘he T. N. O. there surely was some daeâ€" lay all right." "Arthur Jackson reâ€" turned on Saturday from a visit to Toâ€" ronto." ‘"Miss R. M. Pritchard, of Brockville, is visiting her brother, Mr. W. H. Pritchard, of the Hollinger Mine." "Miss Helen Coon returned last week to Haileybury after visit to her friend, Miss Helen Joyper at Schumacher." ‘"Chas. Russell and a number of other tennis enthusiasts from Iroquois Falls, were in town on Saturday playing off matches with loâ€" cal tennis players." "Miss Mary Dowâ€" ney left last week on a few weeks‘ holiâ€" day to be spent visiting friends in Coâ€" balt, Haileybury, North Bay and other points south." "Dan Cosgrove, formerâ€" ly on the paid staff of the Timmins fire ‘brigade, was recently appointed caretaker of the Timmins public school, in place of Mr. Craig, who resigned some time ago and moved to the south.‘" "The aeroplane left here on Saturday for the south. During the stay here. Pilot Colley took up about 35 passenâ€". gers for an airflight. Of this number, five or six were ladies. On Thursday several wished to take a flight, but the: pilot considered the weather not the desirable kind for a@eroplaning with passengers." "Sold every single little and big pig, hog, porker, squealer, etc," says Mr. E. C. Brewer, "so just take out that advertisement. Advertising pays, sure thing!" "The Timmins Citizens Band gave a band concert before the New Empire theatre on Sunday evenâ€" ing. A large crowd gatnered for the event and the selections were greatly enjoyed by all. The general opinion of those hearing this band concert was that Timmins has good reason to bel proud of the Timmins Citizens‘ band."‘ "There was a sphcially large and apâ€" preciate audience at Billy Matheson‘s Sunday evening meeting in the Presâ€"| byterian church. The subject for thel evening was Samson! ‘There were a lot of men in the audience,‘ Billy Matheson told The Advance, ‘so I guess they came to see and hear me.‘ Sunâ€" day evening Billy Matheson told his congregation that the lion had no more sense around Samson than a preacher at a brewers‘ convention. The lion, accoriing to Billy, just opened his| mouth, but before he could say a word he was torn to pieces." l FIRST NEW HOUSE IN YEARS BEING BUILT AT COBALT Blairmore, Alberta, Enterprise:â€"One of the young ladies in town manages to makse the best of every‘:hing. Whenâ€" ever she and her steady have a quarrel, she seizes the opportunity to treat herâ€" self to a real feed of cnions. The damage actions brought against the townships of Dack and Evanturel which have their origin in a fatal runâ€" away accident in the boundary road between the municipalities, will be deâ€" fended in Supreme Court, it is stated at Haileybury. Both defendants will file formal statements in reply to the writs issued by Mr. and Mrs. William Schnaffer, of Brantha, and arising out of the death of their son last June. The case will be tried in nonâ€"jury sittings of the Supreme Court probably at the conclusion of the jury business at the assizes in December. It is alleged by plaintiffs that the condition of the road was responsible for the accident. MUNICIPALITIES TO OPPOSE DAMAGE ACTIONS ENTERED it was almost impossible to cross the street owing to the mud and everything was more or less in a primitive state. Toâ€"day with the paved streets and the permanent buildings that have been erected during the past four years, it looked like an entirely different town to the visitor. "If I had not seen it with my own eyves," he remarked, "I would not have believed it."
