For many years Archdeacon â€"Woodall saw no white man save the factor of the Hudâ€" son‘s Bay Company post. His first impression of Northern Canadaâ€"arriving via sailing â€" vessel through the Hudson Strait from Brisâ€" tol, England, in 1902â€"were not good, Archdeacon Woodall, South Porcupine, frankly admitted to the Lions Club members, when he addressed them ten years ago. The northern shores of Hudson‘s Bay were so barren, s> lifeless and dreary that he at first felt quite sure Canada had â€"derived its name from the Spanish "acanada", which means barâ€" ren. Not long afterwards the misâ€" sionary changed his views, for h> landed at a Hudson Bay Island which was a real sportsman‘s paradise. Berâ€" ries grew in abundance and flocks of all kinds of game birds offered a pleaâ€" sant change of diet from ship‘s fare. Viscount Rothermere and a party of publishers including the Managing Editor of the London Daily Mail spent a few hours in Timmins in 1935 during their tour of the North. While in Timmins the visitors were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Knox at the Hollinger Lodge and they paid a visit to the office and plant of the Porcuâ€" pine Advance. A new Town Hall was being proâ€" sed for Timmins in 1935, at an esâ€" timated cost of $90,000, and property were to vote on the A local grocery store was advertisâ€" ing a "Thanksgiving Sale" in 1935, among the bargains being offered were roasting chickens at 29 cents per Ib. In line with similar reductions all over the province of Ontario, the price of gasoline dropped a cent per gallon in Timmins in the corresponding week of 1935. "Ordinary‘" gasoline was reâ€" duced to 28% cents plus tax and "Ethyl" and compounded gasolines were to sellâ€"at 30% cents plus tax. Ten years ago the voting throughâ€" out the Dominion swung over to the Liberal party when Hon. W. L.

Big game was also reported to be plentiful in the Maritimes ten years ago, with large numbers of mocs: available. The first test in Ontario and posâ€" sibly the Dominion of a twoâ€"wayconâ€" versation between an aeroplane and a radio set was made ten years ago. In 1935, reports received from varâ€" lous agents of the Canadian National Railways, at widely different secâ€" tions of Northern Ontario and Quebec, indicated that the Indians were right when they declared that big game and game birds would be unusually plentiâ€" ful that year. Throughout the North country both moose and deer hag be¢n seen in abundance and in some secâ€" tions, where the antiered king of the woods had been scarce for years he appears to have returned to his old haunts, Deer was a‘so stated to be in gratifying numbers on â€" forest lands which previously had been burned over. They were feeding on the grasses and second growth which were growâ€" ing in profiwion. | on behalf of the c‘ub and Wm.
