For the Dominion election in 1921 there were 1739 names on the voters' lists for Timmins. There was consid- erable interest shown in this contest. The candidates for this riding were:â€" A. J. Kennedy. New Liskeard; D. Mc- Eac . Cobalt: David Bertrand. Sou Porcupine; and Angus McDonald Cobalt. The Caledonian Society of T'unmins was going strong at that time. and as each and every one of the four candidates had a distinctly Scottish airistian name. it looked like a sure victory for the Scottish. “Angus" was :he eventual winner. but another of the :andidates could have won and still the member would have been “Angus."

The Advance in its issue of Nov. 30th. 1921, gave a summary of the voting in‘ the by-election in 1920. Angus Mc-l Donald received 5,222 votes; Arthur G. Slaght, 3,090; Major J. Pullen, 2,996. Mr. McDonald thus won by a majority of 2133 over Mr. Slaght. Major Pullen being less than 100 behind the Liberal candidate. In 1917, it was noted. Hon. Frank Cochrane, the Conservative can- I didate. secured 7.025 votes as against I 4.865 for Arthur W. Roebuck. a ma jori- ‘ ty of 2,157, or about two-thirds of the] total vote polled in 1921 for either Mr. Slaght or Major Pullen. The dwelling part of the building! occupied by Miller Bros. the steam‘ laundry at South Porcupine, was des-i trcyed by fire on Nov. 25th. 1921, with serious loss to Miller Bros. The fire originated in the residence and had considerable headway before it was dis- covered. The alarm was given by the young daughter of the house who was awakened by the smoke and went to the fire hall to give the 'alarm. The fire brigade was soon at the scene and did all that could be done. The laundry and contents were saved through the hard work of the firemen. Some little damage was done to the machinery and other contents of the laundry through the smoke and water. but this damage was not serious in comparison to the loss to the residence section. The house and contents were practically a total loss. A new piano jwas included in the furnishings des- j trcyed. The origin of the fire was not 'known. The fire occurred at about 8:30 pm. and at the time there was a. big crowd gathered at a political meet- ing held in the interests of D.

One of the chief items of business at the meeting of the town council ten years ago was the discussion of the plan of buying a site for an isolation hospital. Councillor Sullivan reported that he and the clerk had looked at a number of lots and had eventually de- cided on one on Cedar street. not far from the fire hall. It could be bought for $40.00. Authorization was given {or the completion of arrangements to pur- chase the site. A by-iaw was passed to disqualify from voting a‘. municipal disqualify from voting at municipal elections all those whose taxes were not paid. One of the paragraphs in the report of the council meetmgrews as followszâ€"“A letter was received from Bailey Harrison regarding the renewal of the telephone franchise. The mayor thought there should be assurance 0: improved service before anything was done in the matter of renewing the franchise." If the 1921 council had to put up with more recent telephone ser- vice they would realize what poor phone service really is. The Advance ten years ago had a front page reference to therprobable re-Opening of the McEnane'y Mine. or the Hollinger Reserve. as it was com-â€" monly known. British and African capital had been interested and it was hoped to do enough work on the pro- perty to prove it up. Last week in this column reference‘ was made to the plan of Minnesota; capitalists to do a lot of diamond drill-' ing in Mountjov township on the pro-‘ perties of settlers there with the hope? of striking one or more good gold pro-z parties. The issue of The Advance of i Nov. 30th, 1921, had the following fur-4': ther reference:â€"“lvn'. Roberts, repre-’ senting Minnesota captialists. who has: been signing up options on farms along] the river for exploratory work in the; search for minerals. has met with al-| most invariable success among the set-' tlers approached.

The Northern Ontario Hockey Association recognized that it had no right to take in the Michigan Saul: but passed the question [on to the Ontario Hockey Association. i The Advance pointed out that the O. [H.A. had persistently refused to adinit Cleveland. Detroit and other United States clubs that desired to play with the Ontario Hockey Association. The .vote was 11 to 10 in the NORA. in regard to submitting the request to the Ontario association. The Advance be~ lieved the vote was taken under a num- ' ber of misapprehensions. With the ex-’ tception of the Canadian Sault all the Itowns directly concerned voted against [the preposal, the votes in favour being centres that would not be, aflected by the inclusion of the United States club. Eventually the prepc=al was dropped. increased The Advance ten years ago had ccn‘ siderable about politics and political meetings. Reference was made to a meeting held in Timmins in the in- terests of the independent Liberal can- didate, D. Bertrand, in the Old Empire theatre. The attendance was rather small, about a score, but Mr. Bertrand was not discouraged by this but pro- ceeded to deliver a forceful address, with many witty touches in it. - The chief plank in his platform was the secession of New Ontario frdm the rest of the province, so that the North might have a fair chance for pmper progress and development. He was un- fortunate. however in his outline of the boundaries of the proposed new pro- vince. including a large part of Eastern Ontario that had no interests at all with this North. D. McEachren, Liber- al candidate. also held a meeting here, andextended notice was made in The Advance to this event. Dr. McInnis, pfesided at the meeting and those on the platform includedzâ€"Reeve C. V. Gallagher, of Tisdale. and Councillor T. P. King. of Timmins. The speakers for this meeting were Mr. McEachren. Geo. A. Smith. of Cochrane. M. Gaston Delisle, of Montreal, and Mac Lang, M.PP. The Advance gaveâ€"~ special praise to Mr. Delisle, whose eloquence in both French and English. delighted all. The meeting closed with the Na- tional Anthem. followed by cheers for the candidate, for Mackenzie King and for Dr. McInnis. mayor of Timmins. St. Andrew‘s Night in 1921 was ob- served in very pleasing way by the Caledonian Society of Timmins. There were about a hundred Scots and Scots- women present. M. B. Scott, president of the society, occupied the chair. Ten or twelve new members were added to the society during the‘ evening. A pro- gramme of literary and musical num- bers and dancing was enjoyed. Mrs. J. K. Moore, Mrs. A. G. Mackay and Jas. Cowan presided at the piano for the dancing. The luncheon served was a special feature of the night. Solos by Mrs. Acton, Mrs. McCulloch, Miss Jean Roberts. W. G. McHugh and others and readings by Mrs. Murdock delighted the big gathering. It was another “braw Scots nicht."

I In 1921 Tlmmins and district had a. fine summer and 'a pleasant fall, but at this time of year winter was well under way, there 'being an item in The Advance of Nov. 30th. 1921. saying that the formal opening of the skating rink "was expected in a few days. It was ex- pected to Open the rink in the last week of November. but a soft spell made this impractical. The weather turned cold again. however, and No- vember went out with the temperature cold and wintery. Ccchrane's light and power service was greatly curtailed. Each one of the motion picture houses in the town was closed for two evenings a week, and the town was divided into three sections, each section getting service two nights a week. This was considered necessary to make repairs. alterations, and im- provements in the plant and equip- ment. As Cochrane had its light and power under municipal ownership, the curtailment of the service was possible. In commenting on the situation, The Advance said:-â€"-“1t is quite a handicap to the town of Cochrane, and if the plant were under private ownership there would be one great old pleasant time for the company, eh? This is not to say that the curtailment is not necessary or expedient, but to suggest that sometimes the public has to surfer temporarily for its ultimate advantage. It would be the same under private ownership as under the municipal, but it would be difficult to make the public believe it." Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the followingzâ€"“Is this a democratic coun- try. At any rate it seems that a few folks get all the free advertising. A North Bay newspaper headed a news despatch last week with the word, “Wife of Lady Eaton's Chauffeur Killed when Crushed by Motor." “It is ex- pected that the plan for pensions for T. N. 0. employees will be in Opera- ticn early the new year." ”The first hockey practice of the season will be held on Monday evening." “A petition for a new dock at the Mattagami land- ing is being circulated this week and is being signed by all to whom it is presented. This is a very necessary and desirable work and it is to be hop- ed that the Government gives prompt attention'to this petition." “Bornâ€"In Moneta. on Monday, Nov. 28th, 1921, to Mr. and-Mrs. P. C.

Tom Magladery will return from Ed- monton shortly to be present at the bpening of the Legislature as the re- presentive of the riding of Temiskam- ing." “In the last issue of The Ad- vance it was made to appear that Miss Pitre is the president of the Altar Girls' Society. This is incorrect. Miss Mary Donovan is the president of the socie- ty." “DeSpatche-‘rom North Bay last week say that the case against Chas.

Sandrelli at the time of his arrest in connection with the fur question was out on bail pending the hearing of his appeal against the conviction of Magis- trate Atkinson who found him guilty of breach of the O.T.A." “Mervin Sally returned last week from his hunting trip, bringing with him a fine six-year- old buck as a trophy of his skill at the hunting game." “A Winter sports club has been organized and a big slide built at the Dome pump houre. The young people are looking for lots of pleasure this winter on this big slide." There have been a number of efleo- tive comments on the recent trial of the communists at Toronto. We of these comments have been published in The Advance. Another of the com- ments is worth printing here because it sums up the whole situation in a sentence:â€""There is enough trouble in this country without this type of citi- zen. who is a trouble-maker purely and simply. The Perth Expositor last week says:-â€"“Canada. and Ontario in par- ticular. has literally declared war on Communism. The conviction and sen- tencing of eight of the leaders of the Communist party in Canada to long terms in the penitentiary is a definite warning that the country will no longer tolerate the presence of an organization that favours the downfall of our exis- ting form of laws. The trial in Toronto charged the eight men with being members of an unlawful organization. a gang who preached sedition against the recognized form of government. It was in a sense a trial of the whole Communist movement in this country. After the sentences have been com- pleted the convicted men will likely be deported. In addition the Crown is making a move to confiscate all Soviet property in Canada.
