The Adâ€" vance pointed cut that the outside nswspapers were all wrorg in stating that men were being laid off at the mines because of a power shortage. Instead of men being laid off, the staffs were actually being increased. "Indeed, up to date," said The Advance, "there has been no power shortage, but only the possibility of one. The Advance then gave the power company‘s attiâ€" tude. On account of the small rainfall during the summer the reserves of waâ€" ter were not as large as desired, but with a small reduction in the amount of pobwer being used, the power comâ€" pany ofiicials were sure there would be enough power for all to carry on until the spring season would again bring relief. Some of the mines were ready to accept reductions, the mines being the chief users of poewer, and the power consumed by all others being too small to be specially considered. The Hollinâ€" ger was ready to opsrate the compresâ€" sor plant by steam. The Dome and Mcintyre and most of the smaller mines were willing to accep: a straight reâ€" The Hollinger, however, pointâ€" ed out that this r¢an would not be fair to this part of the cam». The other big users of power had been running much closer to capacity so far as supply Ten years ago, on Nov. 5th, 1920, ‘o be exact, the Caledonian Society of Timmins was organized. The mesting it which the society was formed was salled by a single small advertisement # * #..®. .*. .®. .*,. * *# .“.“.“..‘“.“.“.“.“. # “. . ® # * ““. #4 *4 * *# ****s t **, # # *# # # #*4 #_# in the issue of The Advance two days previously. There was a large gatherâ€" ing of Scotsmen present, and, the obâ€" jects of the new society were set forth as:â€"‘"the encouragement of the naâ€" :ional games of Scotland; the wearing of the Highland costume at the gatherâ€" ings, festivals and processions of the society; the cultivation of taste and tove for Scottish music, literature, poeâ€" ‘ry, and history and the uniting more closely together of Scotsmen and those of Scottish descent." The reâ€" solution naming and forming the soâ€" ciety was made by Messrs W. D. Watt and D. Mackie. The constitution of the society affirmed that the members the society "shall consist of nativeâ€" born Scots and those of Scottish desâ€" sent, who love Scotland and acknowâ€" ledge it to be the land of their foreâ€" fathers."‘ The following were the offiâ€" cers elected:â€"President, Frank Lamb; viceâ€"president, D. Mackies; (+. A. Macdonald; ‘treasurer, W. Macâ€" kie: executive committee, the officers and A. Roberts, W. D. Watt, G. M. Black, M. B. Scott and W. Nicholson. it is interesting to note the charter members of the sozciety as given in The Advance ten years ago:â€"W. G. Mcâ€" Hugh, D. Mackie, G. M. Black, Arthur J. RBlack, M. B. Scott, W. D. Watt, P. Dougall, W. W. White, John Massie, W. Nicholson, Wm. Coupar, James Twaddle, Duncan Twaddle, Geo. Twadâ€" dle, W. Mackie, James Cowan, A. Roâ€" berts, F. Lamb, G. A. Macdonald, W. H. Wilson. J. K. Moore, D. Sutherland, John Watt. The membership fee was placed first at one dollar, but this was later raised to two dollars, the charter members also paying the other dollar. Associate, members, these being . the wives, daughters, sisters and mothers of members, paid a membership of fifty cents each. On motion of W. G. Mcâ€" Hugh, seconded by J. Twaddle, the newâ€" lyâ€"organized society decided to have an At Home on St. Andrew‘s Night, Nov. 30th. On motion of Messrs D. Mackie and W. W. White a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Lamb for his able conduct of the meeting as chairman and to Mr. W. Nicholson for his services as,secretary protem. The Advance noted at the time that there were a number of stories told at the mesting at the expense of the Scotch. For a number of years the Caledonian sScciety here carried on with great sucâ€" casz. The annual Burns banquet was big feature not only to the members but o the public. For several years, just when large numbers of Scotsmen were coming to this camp, the society served a very useful purpose. The Scot who rsached here a stranger found friends and aid through the good services of the society.© The regular meetings of the seciety were for a long time very events and largely attended. Gradually, however, there grew tendâ€" ency to forget the aims and purposes sf the society and make it more or le:s a dance club. The old members lost interest and eventually all of them seemed to drop away. Last year when the call was made for the annual meetâ€" ing the response was not large enougni to warrant procceding with the meetâ€" ing. A second call met with about the same result, and the officers still in town (the president for the year and cthers having moved away) decided to wait until there was more general deâ€" mand than there seemed to be for reâ€" organizing the society. Many here and others moved away will look back with a great deal of pleasure to the interestâ€" ing meetings of the Caledonian Society vears ago. The Caledonian Choir, unâ€" der the auspices of the society, and directed by that talented Scot, Jas. Golls, was recognized as one of the best mixed choirs ever organized and conducted in the North Land. * #* %.% #.% #* ## d ® ## was concerned than was the Hollinger. due to the shortage of labour the linger had been running at about 50 per cent. of its capacity for some time, and a further reduction seemed very unâ€" desirable.

The Advance, after presenting both sides of the case fairly, ventured the opinion that the difficulty would be adjusted without injury to any of those concernâ€" ed. ‘_It was only last week that The Adâ€" vance went out of its way to say a good word, in fact, several good words about the T. N. O. Railway. This is someâ€" thing that has often happened in the last few years. The Advance honestly believes that the T. N. O..deserves a lot of good words. As a matter of fact the T. N. O. is giving the public exâ€" collént service. Probably no other railâ€" way that may be termed a local railâ€" way provides as good service as the T. N. O. It was not ever thus! The Advance some years ago appeared to go out of its way to take a rap at the T. N. O. This was because The Advance honsstly believed the railway deserved rapping and that the public could only get a fair dsal by hard methods. This was before Geo. W. Lee becams cnhnairman of ths Commission. Mr. Lee always appsared to be anxious to give the public the best possible service, and when his elevation to the chairmanship gave him some authority in the work of really serving the public, the whole attitude of the railway in regard to the public appeared to change. In 1920, hawever, it seemed that it was necesâ€" sary to find some fault. In an editorial article ten years ago The Advance was rather sarcastic about an article pubâ€" lished in The Northland Post; The Ccchrane paper had referred to the T. N. O. in eulogistic terms, and The Advance editorial replied, in part, as follows:â€"‘"‘The Cochrane Board of Trade are to be severely censured. Alâ€" though only a few weeks ago The Cochkâ€" rane Northland Post assured them and all others seriously and solemnly to the effect that the T. N. O. Railway is the best conducted railroad on the American continent, (which, of course, means that it is the best in this world or the next) still that cantankerous Cochrane Board of Trade last week, goes on record with a resolution startâ€" ing out this way:â€""Whereas people travelling on the T. N. O. trains exâ€" pect proper service and accommodaâ€" tion; whereas, deplorable conditions exâ€" ist at the station at Nellie Lake; whereâ€" as, many thousands of passengers, anâ€" nually, get on and off the train at this station, having to drag themselves up the car steps at a height ranging from two feet six inches to four feet; whereâ€" as, considerable number of children get on and off at the said station in order to attend school at Nellie Lake; and whereas, the chiiren often have to grope in darkness and cold at the said station, waiting for the train to return home." To the ordinary intelâ€" ligence all those "whereas" clauses do not seem to have any connection with "the best conducted railway on the conâ€" tinent." Eh, what? But there will be very hearty endorsement of the stan« taken by the Cochrane Board of Trade in urging in their resolution "that the station at Nellie Lake® (five miles from orquis Junction) and all other staâ€" tions of similar importance be plrovidâ€" ed with heat and light and platform accommodation." To the Cochrane Post the T. N. O. may or may not actually appear as the best conducted railroad in any of the known worlds, ' n * d t BV w o B ... _ fete rin en 8 4 On innumerable cccasions The Adâ€"| _ operatine Parlour Cafe Car Serâ€" vance.h'as referreq §o @he good work ac: iggflbegg’gnnfiorth Bay and Swastika. complished in Timmins by the tOWN‘ pprough sleepers operated between nurses, or the school nurses, as they ‘Toronto and Timmins, also between are sometimes called.» The town nurses |} Torontc, and Rouy» and Noranda, Que. were jut nicely started at their good |These trains use Canadian National work this time of year ten years ago. iRailways Station at North Bay.

NEED FOR MAIL CLERKG OM TRAINS IN NORTH LAND On innumerable occasions the need for improved mail service in the North Land has been pointed out. The boards of trade and other bodies and the press in phrticular have been conâ€" stantly calling attention to some feaâ€" ture or other than needs correction in regard to mail service. The Advance has been at this line of criticism for years, Sometimes relief has been given for some grievance particularly objecâ€" tionable to some town or district, but such re‘ief has after all been a makeâ€" shift, no maiter how much it might be appreciated at the time. A case in point is the mixâ€"up that occurred here some, months ago when the time of the NWational was changed and mail for Toronto had to be posted here by arcund nine o‘clock in the morning to catch the ten o‘clock train connecting vith the National. In the performâ€" ance the mail box was even taken off the train leaving here at 12.25 for Toâ€" ronto., this train not carrying mail after the change. â€" The mail box has been reâ€" established on the Toronto train, but T. N. O., is ill at his home in North Bay, suffering from a nervous trouble. According to the reports he is not seriâ€" ously ill and will likely be back at his work in the course of a few days. He has been in indifferent health for some ‘ weeks past. The friends he has made ! during the years of his connection with the T. N. O. will all wish him a speedy and complete recovery." "Mtr. and Mrs. G. S. Johnson, of Whitby, ;‘ Ont., have come to the North Land to take charge of the teaching at the Northern Academy at Monteith, the new school for higher education being opened by the Ontario Governmént to afford educational facties of Public High and Normal School grades for the ycung prople cf this part of the North Land. Mr. Johnson, wha has been principal of the high school at Whitby for the past five years, will be princirnl of the new Northern Acadomy and Mrs. Johnson, will be lady princiâ€" pal and teacher of Moderns ard Engâ€" lish. Mr. J¢chnson wil teach agricu‘â€" ture as a specialty. During his term 2 Whitby he brought the high school there to a high standard of excellence . and it that he will make IMonteith school a power in the North still conditions are nol as convenient as they might be. The remedy for the whole trouble and for many other troub»s would be the placing of mail clerts on the principal trains going north and south. This question of mail clerks on trains ccmes uyt, either direcily or indirectly everytime anything is considered about the mail service in the North. For inâ€" stance a couple of weeks ago The Norâ€" theorn News in its Rouyn section had the following editorial reference:â€" "Mail connections from Noranda, Quebec, to points along the Temiskaâ€" ming and Northern Ontario Railway in Ontario, are far from being all that should be, and it is about time that the postal authorities looked into the matâ€" ter of giving Noranda residents adeâ€" quate service. A letter mailed in Norâ€" anda before 11 o‘clock in the morning will be delivered in Toronto almost 500 miles away the following morning. But if that letter should happen to be adâ€" dressed to Kirkland Lake, approximateâ€" ly sixty miles away, it reaches there the following afternoon. It is the same for other towns along the T. N. O. south of Swastika. Letters mailed in Norâ€" anda for Cobalt, Haileybury, Englehart and Latchford all must travel to North Bay and then be returned the folowing day. Equal difficulty is encountered in receiving mail from Northern Ontario towns. Why in the name of common sense a lockâ€"bag cannot be thrown from the train at Kirkland Lake conâ€" taining. mail from Noranda the same Farr of Toronto, is visiting her son, Mr. Lefty Farr.‘‘ "Mrs. Gordon Main and family, of Montreal, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Dorway." "Mr. S. R. Rawlinson leaves toâ€"night for his old home at Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, England, where he will spend the winâ€" ter.‘" "Cochrane Board ofi Trade has petitioned the T. N. 0. Railway Comâ€" mission and the Government to grant free transportation on the line to children making use of the railway serâ€" vice to attend school along the line." "In the ten pins game last week the Timmins Football team defeated Jack McLean‘s team by a good margin. Inâ€" terest in bowling is gathering strength each day, and the usual interesting and closely contested events may be conâ€" fidently looked for this season." "The new Mattagami school trustees have secured the lower floor of Mr. John Power‘s building at the landing for schcool ptirposes during the coming winâ€" ter months. This will provide ample accommodation for the present, and in the meantime the matter of a permanâ€" ent school building may be fully conâ€" sidered and dealt with. As will be noted by the advertisement elsswhere in this issue the trustees are calling for tenders for the necessary supply of wood for fuel for the sthool this winâ€" jer.‘ > "Mr.od. of Cobalt, was a visitor to the camp last week." "Mr. S. Bucovetsky returned last week from a business visit to Toronto." "Mr. Wiliams, of Hailleybury Business Colâ€" lege, was a visitor to the town last week in the interests of his college." "Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Ellis, who have bsen travelling in the West for some months, were on a visit to Ontario last week, calling on friends and relatives, and this week being in North Bay." "Mr. Geo. W. Lee, acting chairman of the day as it is mailed is a mystery. There should be little extra trouble. Such a service is maintained from Rouyn, it is understood. Why not the same from Noranda." While ideas, like that of having lockâ€" ed bags, are good enough so far as they go, it must be admitted that they do not go far enough. The one comâ€" plete solution rests on the idea of mail clerks for the principal trains. Withâ€" out the mail clerks all other measures will prove ineffective and incomplete. On account of the large distances beâ€" tween communities and settlements in this North, the use of a mail clerk would promise to be of especial value. there plans are sure to be very reâ€" stricted in the remedy they offer. With mail clerks on all important trains, the chief grievances in regard to the mail service would disappear. It is worth thinking over.
