The following is from Tho Advance of ten years ago:â€"‘"Apart from a strip at the Timmins Landing the Mattagami River is cpen again this year. This makes a record for an early breakâ€"up of the lce. This early breakâ€"up follows the oldâ€"time method of testing the ice. It used to be more or less humorously suggested in these columns that the ice was not safe for travel on the river until some time after a team went through in the late fall, and the ice was again unsafe after a team went through in the spring and were drownâ€" ed. A couple of weeks ago a team was drowned near the Landing going through the ice. That meant that e 4 o o i oo e e > young of the town and may well be expected to make good in business for himself.

There was a very large attentâ€" ance, the hall being crowded, and the proceeds totalling over $250.00. In the euchre, the first prize for ladies was won by Mrs. N. Magnan; second prize by Mrs. W.

Mr. Kelly won first for gentlomen; Mr. Laronds winning second and Mr. Smith third, and the gentlemen‘s consolaâ€" t‘onmn prize going to Mr. Albert Bedard. The musical programme was much apâ€" preciated. The step dancing by Mr. Joliceur was also a number of special effcctiveness and much appreciated by all. The Ladies of Charity express sincere thanks to all who gave prizes, to those who bought tickets, to the large attendance, and to all who in any way assisted in making the event so pleasing a success.

They are exâ€" "According to despatches from Toâ€" ronto negotations are moving toward a satisfactory outcome to the proposed consol:dation of the Goldale and Armâ€" strongâ€"Booth â€"properties with the Newâ€" ray," says The Advance ten years ago. "Details are now said to be practically adjusted, with the exception of a muâ€" tally satisfactory valuation of Goldale properties. â€" If this merger develops inâ€" to an actuality it will mean consoliâ€" dation of exceptional strength and promise and one combining very imâ€" portant interests, including the Lewisâ€" sohns, of New York, the Faskens of Toronto, the Coniagas and others. The property of the mergerâ€"will also be an exceptional one, embracing a large acreage of adjoining mining proâ€" perties of great promise with cons.derâ€" able development work done. On such a property work could be carried on with freedom from the danger of boundary disputes, etc., and the strength of the merged interests would promise big things for the section conâ€" cerned." Says The Advance ten years ago:â€" "Much satisfaction has been expressed because of the fact that some fifteen thousand dollars has been contributed to the help of the injured hockey playâ€" er, Brackenborough. â€" There is every reason for satisfaction in this, but the hockey fans of the North Land should not forget that they owe consideration to some of their own boys. In the Ncrth Land benefit matches and other means were used to swell Brackenborâ€" ough fund. This was commendable, but apparently the North Land has Sverlooked some of our hockey players seriously injured in games here for our entertainment. There is, for instance, the case of Ran Montgomery, as fine a good sport and as gcod a hockey player as could be desired. And he was alâ€" ways a good citizen as well. He was injured in an exhibition game at Timâ€" mins a couple of yeatrts ago. Benefit matches and various contributions raisâ€" ed small fund for him at the time, but by this time the assistance must seem most ina@dequate. Previously he had dost the sight of one eye and the accident in the exhibition game here took away the use of the other eye. Since then he has been disabled not only for the sport he loved but also for ccecupation to make a livelihosd for himseif and family. The true spirit of sport will not allow this good sport to be forgotten or neglected. Probably a" that is needed is to recall attention to the case. The NOHA. should take the matter up. If for any reason the N.OH.A. fails to do so, and any numâ€" ber of the good sports in the North think it would be of advantage, The Advance is willing to start a fund and with the coâ€"operation of the other newspapers of the North Land give the necessary publicity to a call for conâ€" tributions to this fund It will not be to the credit of the North Land of there is $15,000 for an injured player of the Southâ€"scme of the amount North Land moneyâ€"and nothing for one of the good sports of the North Land disâ€" abled at the game here." Among the local anc personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the follow‘ng:â€"*"During the weekâ€"end large crowds were attracted by the ski event held on Miller Lake. In ski jumping and other events a number of experts took part and there was much keen ecmpetition." "On Monday there was a big row on street in Moneta with the result that a call was sent in to the police. A number of arrests were made, including a couple of women. The case will come before Magistrate Atkinson at police court here tomorâ€" travel on ice was through for the seaâ€" son, and that an early breakâ€"up could be expected."
