Ten years ago the Timmins Lodge of the Oddfellcws observed the 400th meeting of the local lodge and the eighth anniversary by a pleasant social event at their hall here. At a council meeting held in the town hall ten years ago it was decided to move the taxi stand from the west side of Spruce street to the east side People living on the west side of the street complained that there was too much noise from the taxi stand at night, and in moving it across the road where there were no residences or other places where peOple lawfully slept. the council advised all the taxi men in any case not to have any noise that could be avoided. An editorial in The Advance ten years ago dealt with the matter of un- employment in Timm'ms. At that time as in recent years. there was a tendency The Advance ten years ago announc- ed that a modern hotel of handsome type was to be erected at the corner of Fourth avenue and Spruce street by Leo Mascioli and P. M. Bardessono; A start was made around this time of year in the work of constructing the handsome and up-to-date structure now known as the Empire Hotel. Re- cent additions ,to the building. it may be noted. is proof of the success of the hotel after over nine years of service to the community. - - Ten years ago John W. Eedy, editor and publisher of The St. Mary‘s Jour- nal-Argus. St. Mary’s, Ontario, Was a visitor to Timmins, being the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Arch Gillies. He was one of the most outstanding editors of the weekly press of Southern On- tario. and a most interesting compan- ion. Widely travelled and widely read with a kindly outlook on life. his ser- vice to Timmins and the North is mak- ing this country more widely and truly 1 known was of great value. Mr. Eedy has since passed on to another world but the memory of his kindly interest and keen intelligence will be long re- membered by all who knew him.

About 4,000 or 5.000 horsepower from Des Quinze is being used on the line at present, it is understood.

With the new Des Quinze power available the North- ern Canada Power Co. will have power enough available for all present needs Ten years ago there was a demon- stration by the Canad an Non- Exhaust Pneumatic Machine Co. of theii drill- ing machines. They gave the demon- stration on the big rocks at the foot of Fourth avenue. Miners watching the machines were inclined to believe that the new machine had many points of excellence. The machine was about one-fifth the weight of the ordinary drilling machine and so was specially adapted for transportation to mines at distant places. The simplicity or construction of the new machine was another point-in its favour. “Oh Tuesday morning." said The Granulated Sugar here by scores and were llable to be- come a burden on the town. The Ad- vance warned them all that there was no work available here at the time and that they would do well as a con- sequence not to drift in here but to try some place where their kinds of labour were needed. Many may be surprised that the Haileybury jail is less than ten years old. or perhaps some may be surpris- ed that it is anything like as old as that. Ten years ago, however.

Apparently startled in some way or another. the horses suddenly broke away at a vicious rate and went along Toke street and then down one avenue on the hill and eventually past 1 the post office and along Cedar street, being stopped near Second. avenue. The eventual capture of the runaway team was made through the thoughtful work of the police. The fact that a runaway team was racing at random in the town was passed on to the police and soon two officers were out looking to see what might be done to protect the public from danger of injury or loss. When the police noted that it Would be difficult to stop the horses without special danger the police adopted the plan of running the police wagon directly in front of the team; this distracted the attention of the horses and they apparently decided to ease off. Eventually the horses slowed down to such an extent that one of the police was able to capture the runa- ways before any further damage reâ€" sulted. . It is an odd fact that these days a; runaway team attracts much more} notice than it would have done somel years ago. In the earlier days of thel camp there were many runaways} HOrses were more numerous then than now, though it is surprising. for all the motor cars and trucks. the num- ber of horses that are yet used in the district.

Dur- ing the progress of the runaway team through town the speeding horses at- tracted considerable attention and there was a great crowd out to see the performance. Scores of children materialized on the street and followed the runaway team. On Tuesday afternoon about a quarter past three there was some excitement in town over a runaway team that raced through the business part of the town and having narrow escapes from causing serious danger to property or injury to persons. One man was hurt by the runaway team. This man. John Rumble, saw the animals tearing along at a fierce rate and fearing that some- one might be hurt or serious damage result, tried to stop the runaway team. He was knocked down and one wheel of the wagon passed over him, break~ ing three fingers on one hand and causing a serious cut to one of his legs.

Aside from the fact that it seems odd (that the Premier should seek the aid of one so directly connected with the Beauharnois scandal. his ob- ject of assisting the farmers of On- tario by providing cold storage space is worthy enough. In doing so, he will be merely continuing the policy in- augurated by the former Government which has already resulted in half a dozen cold storage plants in the fruit- growing centres of the province.
