At this meeting the executive of the asâ€" socilation was given extended powers and promised increased support and coâ€"ofrration from the various boards. R. A. McInnis, manager of the Abitibi Power Paper Co. at Iroquois Falls, was the president of the Associated Boards and his idea to make the body the ‘"Voice of the North" was vEeTY strongly endorsed. Mr. MciInnis pointâ€" ed out that the great need of the North was for a voiceâ€"a central author!!; that could speak for the people in genâ€" eral, give authentic data to the auâ€" thorities, and express the needs and of the people with some measure of authcrity. At th> mesting many impcrtant questions were discussed, inâ€" cluding forest fire protection, the pwoâ€" paosed North Land highway, representaâ€" tion from the North Land on the T. N. O. Railway Commission, educational matters in the North, and the question cf transportation and railway extenâ€" sions. Cochrane board of trade creatâ€" ed some little heat and discussion by resolution condemning thue president of the Associated Boards for a telegram he had sent to the premier relative to | the respective needs for a highway and the extension of the T. N. O. north. The president pointed out that what he had done had been in line with the attitude of the Associated Boards. \/.| McKnight, of New Liskeard, said thai ; the Associated Boards would be of litâ€" tle use if the executive were to be only advisory and had to wait for months to consult the boards on matters on which the stand of the boards was alâ€" ready evident. The Timmins delegates assisted in pouring oil on the troubled waters and the Cochrane delegates withdrew their resolution, it being unâ€" derstood that the executive were fully justified in acting when the feeling of the boards was known, as it was in this case. At the banquet given by the Cobalt board of trade to the delegates the outstanding address was that by A. mn c ocms . on n in e es ns s mmmmme mamer * TEN YEARS AGO IN TIMMINS From data in thé Porcupine Advance 5 given in 1! to the meetit rio at Cobalt. 4 ive of the> a tended powe # L _ * #* ®*, L #* # ## # # #4 ## # # *#* + # ## #_ _# .“ e #* w# #* # # #4 ## * # * *#* and | at rth. | me se‘ in, however, and Mr. Ellis passed away on Tussday morning, Feb. 22nd.

Death was due to liver trouble. The funeral took place in Oshawa, his old home town. In addition to the bereaved widow, one son and one daughter, Mrs. Tamblyn, survive. The son and daughter both live in Toronto. To Mrs. Ray and to other near relaâ€" tives and friends the sincere sympathy of all here will go out. The late Mr. Ray was wellâ€"known and highly reâ€" garded as a firstâ€"class hotel manager and an allâ€"round good citizen. He was in the hotel business in Oshawa and in recent years has been in the North Land, having successfully conducted the Queen‘s Hotel at Cochrane as well as the hotel at Temagzami and the Hotel Goldfields, Timmins, at different times." On February 17th, 1921, the Timmins branch of the Children‘s Aid Society was crganized, with R. LeHeup, supetrâ€" intendent of the Temiskaming C.AS. in the chair. The following officers were elected:â€"president, C. G. Wilâ€" first viceâ€"president, Mrs. E. L.

He said he would like another 25 boys to join at once to secure the advantages of ‘the drill, training and discipline of the Cadets. The Advance referred to the benefits sffered by Cadet training and pointed out the opportunity offered. In its issue of Feb. 23rd, 1921, The Advance referred ‘to the death of J. W. Ray, who had been manager of the Goldfields hotel here for some time. In this connection The Advance said:â€" "There was very general and sincere regret at the news reaching here last week of the death in Toronto General on Thursday last of Mr. Joel wh> declared the T.

The meeting and banquet were among the most successful in the history of the Associated Boards. One of the special features of the meeting was an adâ€" dress by Dr. J. B. McDougall, chief inâ€" spector of schools for the North. Among the delegates from Timmins were:â€"D. Ostrosser, chairman of the board of trade here, Dr. MciInnis, maâ€" yor of the town, Chas.

The Advance said, in part:â€"*"In the Legislature last week Mr. Mac Lang, M.P.P., gave a strong speech outlining the needs of the North Land and the desirability for the closest attention by the Government to the requirements of this country. He pointed out that Tem years ago Premier Drury introâ€" duced a bill in the Legislature to inâ€" corparate the town of Kapuskasing and make it a regular municipality. The first council for Kapuskasing was namâ€" ed as follows:â€"mayor, W. K. Kolb; councillors, W. C. McNaughton, J. A. Stewart, E. M. Hardman, Douglas Steâ€" wart, W. W. Mills and C. F. A. Lair.

The committee _ includes . representatives from all the churches in town and from the Jewish Ladies‘ Society of Timmins. The following is the committee as reâ€" cently organized:â€"President, Mrs. J.

Among the local and items in The Advance ten years ago were the ‘ollewing:â€"‘"‘The firemen responded with their usual despatch to an alarm of firs about 7.30 p.m Sunday. The fire which was only a chimney blaze, was at L. N. Campeau‘s and was socon all right without any particular damage or danâ€" ger. The stovepipes had all been cleaned a few days before, but the fire had gotitsen in the steel extension to the chimney, the metal being red hot at cne time." ‘"Mrs. J. Sims, now of North Bay, but formerly of Timmins, was a visitor to the camp, visiting friends and acquaintances hore." ‘"The Sisters of the Assomption Convent at Haileybury is quarantined for smallpox. There is only one case, and that a mild one, but to prevent any chance of danâ€" ger the quarantine is being enforced." "Mr. F. H. King, formerly of the H. B. Wills staff here, in a leiter last week from his present location at Mitchell, Ont., sends his congratulations to the Porcupine Hockey team on thsir sucâ€" cess so far this season, with very sinâ€" cere wishes that the same success may follow them right through. "Shorty" even promises them a couple of cases when they get to Kitchener, which is not far from his home in Mitchell. He accordingly wants the boys to bring along their corkscrews, but none of the boys know what he means. Corkâ€" screws? What are corkscrews? What ye mean, Shorty? "Best wishes to the team and management and everybody in town," he writes. "Same to you!" says everybody here, and then some." "There was no telegraph service or telephone connection here with the south yesterday on account of the wires of thse T. N. O. being down, the trouble being a wreck on the line. A special freight got off the track near Matheson, smashing telegraph and telephone poles and doing other damâ€" age, as well as delaying trains. No one hurt, however, this being as usual, and everything is running as usual again." New York Sun:â€"Supposing an antiâ€" bookstore Volstead were able to foist prohibition of reading upon the Ameriâ€" can public, it is easy to conjecture the results. Bootlegging of certain forâ€" bidden volumes is even now fairly comâ€" mon, with prohibition agents stalking licit book traders, however, this racket would become over night a menace to all but the illiterate. Stories of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police would be smuggled across the northern borâ€" der in truckloads. Coast Guard cutâ€" ters would capture tramp ships laden with sea tales. Plutocrats would stock their attics with tons of imported murâ€" der mysteries. ‘"Mrs. F. Y. Uttley and young sons, of Toronto, are guests of Mrs. Rippon, schumacher. The elder lad has been ill with pneumonia, but is now on the way to recovery and no doubt the inâ€" spiring air of this part of the North will do its part in the restoration to perfect health again." his long residence in the North Land justified him in believing that he knew the country and its needs. He made particular reference to the need for rcads and other transportation faciliâ€" ties, gsnd thought special attention should also be paid to the prculiar problems of this country. He thought that th> Department of Education, for instancs, should see to it that school teachers in the smaller Northern secâ€" tions received their pay promptly. The member for Cochrane riding also had a word to say regarding race. suicide, declaring that Ontario‘s birth rate in the clder section of the province was to> low. He had some words of criticâ€" im for the Government‘s methods of procvedure in regard to the proposed new town of Kapuskasing." Toronto Mail and Empire:â€""I am one of those oldâ€"fashioned people who was never afraid to proclaim the Briâ€" tish Empire," says Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas. He has the root of the matâ€" ter in him, and may in time become a good Tory. The figures in regard to the respecâ€" tive production of Hollinger and Lake Shore are from the monthly figures of estimated production issued by the Onâ€" tario department of mines. In regard to the figures, despattch last weok from Torontc says:â€" "In the 30â€"day period, Kirkland Lake‘s crude bullicn output reached a valuation of $1,649,436, a lead of $76,â€" 760 over the valuation of Hollinger proâ€" duction, and an increase of approxiâ€" mately $368,000 over it‘s own valuation of January, 1930." The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a dress of hyacinth blue silk georgette, coatee style, with hat and shoes to match. She carried a shower bouquet of Ophelia roses and lily of the valley. Her bridesmaid was Miss Eunice Shannon, of Haileybury, who was attired in honey beige silk georgette, with lace hat to match. She carried an oldâ€"fashioned nosegay of pink roses and forgetâ€"meâ€"nots. Mrs. S. Atkinson, organist of the church, played the wedding music. After the ceremony, a receptionr was held at the home of the bride‘s parents, and later Mr. and Mrs. Dunfield left for their new home in Timmins, the bride travelling in a dark brown crepe section dress, with ccoat, hat, shoes and For the month of January o‘° this year the Lake Shore of Kirkland Lake for the first time in history took the pllace of the leading mine in Canada so far as value of production is conâ€" cerned. This place has been held for many years by Hollinger and until reâ€" cently the supremacy of the big mine at Timmins was nct even threatened. As it is, Hollinger is still Canada‘s greatest mine so far as tonnage is concerned. For Jauary of this year Hollinger handled over twice as much ore as the Kirkland Lake leader, the respective tonnages being 4,500 and 2,â€" 100 tons per day. In the bullion proâ€" duced, however, Hollinger for the first time was below Lake Shore. The Holâ€" linger preduction for the month was approximately $740,000.00, while that of the Lake Shore totalled $800,000.00. It is expected by many that on account of the highâ€"grade of its ore, the Lake Shore may hold its supremacy during the year, but that, of course, remains to be seen. The general opynion is that the Hollinger has been making no‘able discoveries at depth recently, and it might not be well to jump at conclusions too quickly in regard to the leadership in gold production. The large tonnage daily of the Hollinger is factor that places other producers under a considerable handicap. A pretty preâ€"Lenten wedding was solemnized in St. Paul‘s Anglican} Church, Haileybury, by the rector, Rev. Canon F. H. Hincks, when Doris Winâ€" nifred Bailey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bailey, pioneer residents of Haileybury, became the bride of Henry Withers Dunfield, of Timmins, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dunfield. of St. Lambert, Montreal. stockings to match. At the church ceremony the bride were the brideâ€" groom‘s gift, a gold pendant, set with pearls. Hosts of friends in Timmins and disâ€" trict will extend sincere best wishes. The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Wm. H. Oldham, of North Bay, superâ€" interdent of bridge building for the T. N. O. Railway, suffered a broken leg on Tuesday, when he slipped and fell as he entered the door of the station at North Cobalt after alighting from Train No. 47. Ths two bones of his right leg, just above the ankle, were fractured in the fall, which was thought to be caused by a piece of ice in the dorway. Dr. G. A. Schmidt, of Copalt, was summoned and gave te‘mâ€" porary treatment to the injured man, who was later praced on Train No. 18 for his home in North Bay. Mr. Oldâ€" ham is a brotherâ€"inâ€"law of Mr. Geo. Gibbons, the agent at North Cobalt, and his duties take him up and down the line frequently. He is well known to many in the district." Despatches from ~Haileybury last week told of the wedding of H. W. Dunfield, manager of the Northern Canada Power Co. store at Timmins, and Miss Doris W. Bailey, of Haileyâ€" bury. The event is referea to by one despatch from Haileybury as follows:â€" T. N. 0.
