The annual meeting of the Porcupine Agâ€" ricultural Society was held in January. l 1922, in the township hall at Porcupine. The following officers were elected for 1922:â€"CGieo. â€" Bannerman, president; \ Wm. Bannerman, first viceâ€"president; 'Gordon H.

The offhâ€" | cers and directors represented all parts ‘ of the district, including South Porâ€" ‘cupine, Schumacher and Timmins. ‘The Advance at the time urged all in the district to coâ€"operate to make the Pprcupine Fair the biggest kind of sucâ€" |\ cess, arguing that to do so was to conâ€" ’fer a decided benefit on the area conâ€" OUR GREAT SPECIAL OFFER O N L Y balance monthly, for a New Hoover and dusting tools or Dustettse THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Years ago there used to be quite a few wrecks on the T. N. O, It was a standing joke, however, that the railâ€" ‘way always used freight trains for its | wrecks, with the idea always of avoidâ€" ‘ ing any injury to any of its passengers. \‘There is no doubt that the wrecks ‘among the freight trains were chiefly | due to the poor condition of the tracks | and to the type of rolling stock from ‘ other railroads. During the war the ! tracks of all railroads were more or less neglected, while the cars pressed into service by some of the southern railâ€" roads were certainly of poor and dilapiâ€" dated kind in many cases. Bad wheels, defective axles, etc., were sure to make trouble. It was noted, however, that as soon as Geo. W. Lee had full authâ€" lority as chairman of the road, there was a very decided improvement in this as in other respects. There was a wreck on the T. N. O. near the Holâ€" linger siding on Jan. 9th, 1922%. The engine and two or three of the cars left the track, the engine turning over on its side. This time it was a pasâ€" senger trainâ€"the early morning oneâ€" ‘but no one was hurt to any extent, though several had a shakingâ€"up. Had it not been for the skill and care of | the engineer, L. T. Shaw, the accident ‘ would have been a more serious one. He seemed to sense that something was wrong at the switch as soon as he struck it and he had the "air‘ on beâ€" fore the train had fairly got onto the switch and the train was brought to a standstill almost at once. The engiâ€" lneer and fireman landed safely and unhurt, when the train stopped. The passengers escaped with a shakingâ€"up. | I t Another engine was secured and severâ€" al hours later the train proceeded on its way. The wrecked engine had to be taken south for repfairs. The Advance ten years ago said :â€" "N. A. Timmins brought party of visitors from Montreal to town last week. They were shown through the Hollinger mine and mill and also viewâ€" ed the motion picture films of the Holâ€" linger and other mines at the New Emâ€" pire theatre. The party had a very pleasant and interesting time while here and all thoroughly enjoyed the visit. The party included:â€"Mr. and Mtrs. N. A. Timmins, Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Timmins,. J. R. Timmins, Miss Juliet Timmins, Noah Timmins, Jr., Gerald Timmins, Rudolphe Timmins, and Dr. Dcohan, of Montreal; Mr. and Mrs. Cosâ€" tello and the Messrs McCrimmon, of New York; and Mr. Jackman, of Pitisâ€" burgh, Pa." cerned Another party to visit this town and district ten years ago was a group of the shareholders of the Hayden Mine brought here by W. H. Hayden, the president of the company. The party included seven men from New York State. They viewed the property and the town of Timimins and also visited some of the big mines of the district. At that time there were about twentyâ€" five men at work at the Hayden. At the inaugural meeting of the Timâ€" mins town council in January ten years ago the following were appointed as chairmen of the various committees of the council:â€"E L. Longmore, finance; E. S. Noble, waterworks; T. F. King, public works; L. S. Newton, fire and light; J. E. Morin, police; J. H. Bacon, contingent committee. Dr. J. A. Mcâ€" Innis was the mayor for 1922, as he had been for three years before and for three years afterwards. Ten years ago there was very keen interest in hockey here. In the N.O. H.A. series the Porcurtne team startâ€" ed the new yvear by winning two games from New Liskeard. The games were at New Liskeard rink and The Adâ€" vance remarked on the fact that the New Lisqeard people were not giving the support that might be expected for good hockey. The attendance at the games was not large, and even at that a gosd proportion of the crowd came from Cobalt and Haileybury. Also Porcupine was well represented in the attendance. The first game (on a C. Eplett and S. Eplett, defence; Burns, Thompson and Spence, forwards; Roâ€" bertson and Hogg, subs. In Saturday‘s game Cox and Parker were the subs., with Brennan playing at left wing. The games were interesting and fairly good hockey, but it was generally adâ€" mitted that the New Liskeard team was not up to the standard set by this team in previous years The concluding paragraph of The Advance‘s report of the two games is worth repeating here for its interest:â€""Mr. Angus Campbell, of Cobalt, refersed the game and disâ€" interested spectators say his work was unusually gcood and that he was fair all through and very watchful." Ten years ago The Advance noted the fact that the protest in connection with the Dominion election of 1921 in Temiskaming had been dropped and Angus McDonald would accordingly have the seat without any furthsr trouble. The Advance commented that while Mr. McDonald held the seat by only a small majority, the dropping of the protest proceedings seemed tive: wisest and most sportsmanlike attitude The grounds for the protest were that there were technical irregularities in connection with the polling. The parâ€" ticular objection emphasized was that there had not been polling places established at Wawaitin and Moose Factory. The ballot box did not arrive at Wawaitin in time, it was claimed, and there was no ballot box sent to Moose PFactory at all. The returning officer for the district replied that on account of weather conditions and the lack of means of communication it was impossible to hold a poll at Factory, while the other matter was also due to accident beyond control. In any event the protest was dropped and everybody seemed to agree evenâ€" tually that this was the way to do it. Quoting from The Cochrane Northâ€" land Post ten years ago The Advance made reference to the marriage at Otâ€" tawa of Geo. A. Smith, formerly of Timmins. Mr. Smith was well known in Cobalt, Haileybury and other parts of the North before the war, and after serving overseas he located in Timâ€" mins where he conducted a photograâ€" phic studio. Later, Mr. Smith joined the staff of the Geo. Taylor Hardware Co. and moved to Cochrane. While in Timmins Mr. Smith took an active part in many public and semiâ€"public serâ€" vices. He was the founder and mainâ€" stay of the GW.V.A. here. He was very active in board of trade circles and did much to revive interes; in the building of the North Land highway, now known as the Ferguson highway. He was also active in Liberal party politics. Thursday night) was won by Porcupine with the score 5 to 2, and the second match (on Saturday night) resulting in win for the Porcupine team to the tune of 6 to 2. The lineâ€"up was as follows:â€"Timminsâ€"Scully, goal; McCurry and McGuire, defence; Parâ€" ker, centre; Kelly, right; Cameron, left:; Cox and Brennan, subs.; Koster, goal sub. New Liskeardâ€"Elliott, goal; The Advance noted ten years ago that there was at least one place in town where business appeared to be on the increase all the time. That was "the Hotel de Greer," named after M. Greer the manager of the municipal rooming house. People not so polite as The Advance used to call it "the jail" or "the lockâ€"up." In any event it was full up much of the time. One of the cases referred to ten years ago was that of two brothers who landed in the Hotel de Greer. They were foreigners and used other than nature‘s weapons when they quarrelled. Conâ€" stable W. Raycroft came along when the two brothers were fighting and disâ€" regarding the proverb about interferâ€" ing in family rows he arrested both the brothers One of them needed twelve stitches in his head to sew him up and the cother had to have eight stitches. One of the brothers was senâ€" tenced to six months in jail for using r@ knife. Magistrate Atkinson did great service to this North Land by sternly discouraging the use of knives as weaâ€" pons. By the sentences he imposed he made a certain class of foreigner understand that in this British counâ€" try it was decidedly unlucky to use a knife in a fight. Ten years ago Timmins had an inâ€" termediate team that put up a good brand of hockey. There were three teams in the northern group of the Intermediatesâ€"Timmins, Iroquois Falls and Cochrane. Up to the first week of January, 1922, each of the teams had a win and a loss chalked up against them. The Timmins Intermediates included: Stefno, goal; Keeley and Lake, defence; Lavereaux, Jacobs and Jones, forwards; Lilly and Horne, subs. The 1921 census showed a population of 50,997 for the district of Temiskamâ€" ing, which was an increase of more than 13.000 over the figures for 1911. The district of Temiskaming then inâ€" cluded what is now known as the Temiskaming and Cochrane districts. The population of Timmins in 1932 was 3,839 which was an increase of 3 839 over the 1911 census, the town not beâ€" ing established until after the census was taken. Cochrane was one of the towns in this part of the North showing a large increase in population, accordâ€" ing to the census figures published in The Advance ten years ago. In 1911 the census gave Cochrane a population of 1,715, while in 1921 the figure was 3.350. The annual meeting of the Timmins Volunteer Fire Brigade was held on Jan. 9th, 1922, in the fire hall. The followi1®*3z officers were elected for the year:â€"president, A. F. Carâ€" riere; deputy chief, W. G. Smith; capâ€" tain, J. T. Easton; secretaryâ€"treasurer, J. Morrison: entertainment committes, Pete Taylor, A. G. Carson, M. Daher and Chisf Borland. Pollowing the anâ€" nual mseting there was the customary delightful banquet. Mrs. Borland was tendered a very enthusiastic vote of thanks for the bountiful meal provided. Brief but pleasing addresses were given by:â€"Dr. J. A. M¢Innis, mayor, and by Councillor L. S. Newton, chairman of the fire and light commitee, by G,. A. Macdonald, editor of The Advance, Fire Chief Borland, Deputy Chief W. G. Smith, President Carriere, and A. G. Carson, exâ€"piresident of the Volunâ€" teer Fire Brigade, as well as by a host of others. There were many good stories and witticisms, and very hapâ€" py social evening was enjoyed. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"*"Mrs. J‘ B. Forrester, 83 Third avenue, entertained a number of friends to a euchre and social evening last Wednesday. The party dispersed at midnight, a pleasant evening being enjoyed by all." "According to a wire received at noon toâ€"day, Grant Smith, Calgary, has been awarded the conâ€" tract of the extension of the T. N. O. Railway on to Tin Can." ‘"Mr. Roâ€" bert Lilly is visiting his daughter, Mrs. E. M. Allworth." "J. W. Faithful has returned to his duties here with the Northern Canada Power Co. after a few week‘s holiday spent with relatives and friends in the US.A." "This week saw a general reduction of 50 cents per ticâ€" ket of 21 meals at all the cafes in town. This reduction in meals goes into effect some weeks before the announced reâ€" duction of 50 cents per day approxiâ€" mately in the rate of wages to be paid in the Porcupine mines." "Dr. Egerâ€" ton George was visitor to the camp last week, being in this part of the North on account of investigation necessary in regard to some cases of diphtheria and smallpox reported from Porquis Junction and district." "Mrs. Jos. P. Brewer, who spent the piast two weeks the guest of her sons in town, returned on Thursday to her home in the South."" "R. Buchanan, an Oldâ€" timer of the Porcupine, recently with the Ontario Geological Survey, has reâ€" turned to the camp and joined the Hollinger staff." "In the list of offiâ€" cers installed last week at Timmins LO.O.F. lodge The Advance inadverâ€" tently omitted the name of Sol. Shankâ€" man. Bro. Sol. Shankman occupies one of the most important offices in the lodge, being duly installed last week as Chaplain for the ensuing term."
