The ‘Advance commented on the idea of $16.50 per ton being considered as beâ€" \low the usual grade, remarking on the |luck of the Lake Shore in this respect. Ten years ago a revision of the voters‘ list was made for the referendum vote on the liquor question, H. E. Montgomâ€" ery being the registering officer for Timmins.

Carpovich, and also an infant who passâ€" _ Reference was made in The Advance ten years ago to the report published in The Cobalt Daily Nugget that the lnew HMollinger houses would be built on the athletic field. The Advance reâ€" plied to this, concluding its article as follows:â€"The truth of the matter reâ€" garding the sites for the new Hollinger houses is materially as stated in The Advance a few weeks ago. When Mr. Brigham was asked regarding the truth of the suggestion in The Nugget last week he gave the idea very emphatic denial. ‘"The Hollinger will not deâ€" prive the people of their athletic field. until there is a new and better grounds| all ready to replace it," he said. Ten years ago the New Empire theaâ€" tre inaugurated the plan of two shows a night, carrying this on for a time, but reverting later to the one show per night. ‘Gene Colombo was then manâ€" ager of the New Empire, P. M. Barâ€" dessono being busy supervising the several theatres then owned in the North by the New Empire Theatres, Ltd. The theatres included two in Timmins, and one each in Cochrane and Kapuskasing. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "A quiet but pretty wedding took place at St. Matthew‘s rectory on Saturday, April 2nd, when Rev. R. S. Cushing, frector of St. Matthew‘s church, Timâ€" mins united in the holy bonds of maâ€" trimony Mr. Ronald Vary and Miss Susie Bartlett, both popular and esteemed young people of the town. Mr. Fred Bailey supported the groom, and Miss Florence Vary, sister of the groom, was bridesmaid. Mr. and Mrs. Vary left on a wedding trip to points south and east. The groom, who is a. son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Vary, is one of the popular young men of the camp. Miss Bartlett has been for three years on the staff of the Bank of Commerce here and is popular in sccial and other circles. To the young couple very sincere good wishes will be extendâ€" ed from their hosts of friends in Timâ€" mins and dGdistrict. Previous to the event, the staffs of the Bank of Comâ€" merce at Timmins and Schumacher met to express their appreciation of Miss Bartlett and their gocod wishes. The meeting took place in the office of the manager at Timmins on Friday and Miss Bartlett was presented with an address and a beautiful casserole and Ne plate of pyrexware set in silver.| The address was read by the accountâ€" ant, Mr. T. M. White, and Miss Bartlett | was showered with good wishes." | There was some excitement noted by The Advance as occurring in the Sudâ€" bury district ten years ago owing to the reported find of coal at Chelmsford. The Advance said that the most of peoâ€" ple would "hae their doots‘"‘ about there being coal near Sudbury, but all would wish the hopeful fellows were right, as the North Land would receive unusual and striking impetus to greater deâ€" velorrnent and prosperity if a workable coal field were opened in or near the widespread borders of the North Land. _ _ Geo. R. J. Donaldson, a wellâ€"known highly esteemed resident of Cobalt, passed away at his home there ten years ago after a lengthy illness. He had been in poor health for some time ard after the death of his wife some five months previously his condition had become the more serious. He was a native of Buckingham, Que.

At least it apâ€" peared to be so. The Advance believes now that the trouble was chiefly due to the fact that Southern Ontario newsâ€" papers had little idea of the facts about this country and in addition had a whole host of misinformation and misâ€" conception about conditions and that for this reason every item about the North was practically sure to be twisted and distorted some way or another. Howâ€" ever, since then the truth about the North and its people and conditions has been given so often that now pracâ€" the low price of silver, the reduction of 75 cents per day should be made. The mass meeting of the men, however, reâ€" jJected this proposal, which the board of conciliation greatly regretted. ng 6f the men, that the mines should | continue at the usual rate of pay until Apru Ist, after which date, in view of should be deferred until April ist, 1921. The reduction had been announced by the mines on Jan. 8th to take effect on Feb. i6th. The mines claimed that the reduction was necessary on account of the decreasing price of silver.
