Consovitech was. one of |several agitators who created much " unrest and evil among the aliens in this Camp. He was convicted of utâ€" tering seditious words3 at a meeting ‘There, and if an example had been made him it is: probable that the alien lagitators would have been less ready |to injure the country that allows them so much freedom and treats them all too. well., The lenieney so unréasonâ€" shown Consovitch, however, has made considerable trouble for the Proâ€" vince, and has encoutaged the Bolsheâ€" viki element to continue here the kind of work that has placed Russia in the deplorable condition that it occupies toâ€"day. _ Since Consovitch so . easily secured his freedom the country has more than paid for the leniency given him. Windsor and Timmins are two particular centres that have had to meet the cost of the mistaken leniency which the foreigners read as fear or foolishness. Even Consovitch himself was not won over by the favor heaped upon him. According to the despatâ€" ches from Brantford recently, Consoâ€" vitch some days ago was fined $500 and costs in the police court, witth the optionof a year in jail, for distributâ€" ing literature tending to injure the prosecution of the war. The pampthlets, sent around Brantford factories by Jonsovitch . working through small boys, called for all workingmen to reâ€" fuse to work more than four hours a day, as this was enough for them to live on. â€" It also advised them to throw down their. tools if their demands were denied. ~As Brantford has sever al factories intimatery connected with war work it is apparent surely that such doetrine would be injurious. The pamphlets were otherwise along the usual Bolsheviki lines and their effect on the aliens may easily be imagined. Many will be tempted to ask rather strenuously why such agitation should be allowed to escape â€" with no mors serious penalty than a fine, especially when the offender is a person already convicted of illegal agitation and enâ€" joying freedom only on bonds for good behaviour. ‘The answer to this is that the Brantford Magistrate had the pewer only. to deal with <the offence for which the agitater was brought before him.. It will be interesting to observe, however, whether Judge Rose will note this breach of the law and* the apparent contempt shown for his| lenieney.

This is dividend No. 60 of the Hollinâ€" ger. ‘Thelast dividend was paid on June 17th, and was also a one per cent. dividend. Previous to the June 17th dividend, the last dividend paid was on ‘April 23rd., 1917.. ‘The suspension of ‘dividends was due to the disadvanâ€" tages and difficulties encountered by gold mines at these times and the deâ€" sire to keep the mine on the soundest finaneial basis where only dividends earned were paid. Despite the difficul ties of gold mining at this time when labor and materials are at abnormal cost and yet gold, ‘being the standard, remains at the same selling price, the Hollinger has earned its dividend and increased its surplus and is generally in a very creditalble position from every viewpoint.

Many Russians from this Camp have left here with the announced purpose of going ‘back to Russia. In view of the present overcrowded conâ€" dition of both the asylums and the jails in Canada, there seems to be no reason ‘why any ‘attempt should hbe made to hold them from going, though some people do suggest that they â€"must ‘either be mad:â€"or moved by some wrong impulse in their apparent desire to return to Russia at this time. Cerâ€" tainly, Russia is not the sort of a place that a normal man would desire to visit these days from all accounts but the more abnormal people that leave Canada now the better for Caâ€" nada. Most of ‘the Russians gomg from here are said to be of the Bolsheâ€" viki breed, so there is an advantage in the departures. On one day alone last week no less than eighteen Russâ€" ians left here for Russia. ‘They hope to get to their happy Russian home by way of Japan. For their tickets alone each one of them had to pay a full $300, or about $5500 for the eighteen for the bare transportation expenses. _ It is interesting to note that so many of the foreigners had the necessary money, and a margin over. In gome of the Bolsheviki literâ€" ature found here recently reference was made to 42 of the local disciples of foolish frenzy going back to Russia There is reason for believing that a large pereentage of this suggested number is already on its way back to Russia from this Camp. | The Northern Canada Co. bas several loads of the slock of sup- plies at the Dome Mines. the goods being shipped to Cobalt. | Forâ€"some time past the '\Iountm\ Scettlers‘ Association thas been conferâ€" ring with the pulp dealers with a view to guaranteeing fair prices for pulpâ€" wood cutting next winter. The Assoâ€" ciation is far from satisfied with the prices offered and tlie general opinion is that unless better rates are availâ€" able no pulpwood will be ecut by any of the members..this winter. .. The present rates offered are the same as last year and the settlers say they do not provide anything more than fair wages for the time used, so that they would ‘be better off to work at someâ€" thing else and keep their wood. ‘The Mountjoy Settlers‘ Association has now a membership of over 44 and new members are coming in right aâ€" long. It is hoped to have every settler in Mountjoy in the Association, and this seems quite practical and probable. from the present interest shown. If the Association decides not to cut any. pulpwood this coming winter it will consequently mean "that practically no pulpwood will ibe cut in this disâ€" trict. | RUSSIANS GOING BACK REGARDLESS OF EXPENSE. The business of the New Safety Stove Pipe has grown to such proporâ€" tions that the inventors, Messrs. Patenâ€" aude and Berini, find it necessary to organize a.company and incorporate to handle the orders that are pouring in now. From the very commencement of the business in Timmins the New Safety Stove Pipe proved a succeess. The invention filled a long felt want and the popular demand was large from the very start.. ‘The New Safety Stove Pipe practlcallv does away with all stove pipe troubles, and it needs only to be shown to create a demand. The inventors intended at first to manufacture the pipe here themselves, but so great was the call thig soon proved impractical. _ Arrangements were made with a large manufacturing _eoncern in Toronto and Mr. A. Laâ€" Jlonde was seeured as special salesman and representative. â€" Mr. Lalonde‘s ability as a salesman is wellâ€"known and with this unusually desirabhle arâ€" ticle the sales soen mounted far beâ€" yond expectations. Orders3 soonâ€"atâ€" tained suech proportions that further organization and enlargement proves necessary. _ Mr. Lalonde, who has been acting ag general manager of the concern, this week ~went to Toronto to arrange the details for forming : joint stock company to handle the ever, increasing business. â€" The company will be incorporated at $50,000, in $100 shares, and part of the stock will hbe open for purchase by the public at an early date.

ORGANIZING COMPANY FOR SAFETY STOVE PIPF At the annual meeting of the West Dome Mine, held in FToronto last week, Mr. R. L. Baker, of Toronto, was eâ€" lected a director, in place of the late Col. Hay, The other directors elected were:â€"Col. Sir Henry Pellatt, Hugh Blain, €ol. G. A. Stimson, Major J. A. Murray. At the subsequent meetâ€" ing of the directors Sir Henry Pellatt was reâ€"elected president and Mr. Blain viceâ€"president. The president said that in view of conditions toâ€"day it was not advisable to go on with â€"development work at the property. The annual reâ€" port of the West Dome for the year ending Dec. 3lst., 1917, shows that the company has $53,717.91 in cash on hand and in the bank, and aecounts réetiveable of $8,141.90, malking a total of $60,859.81. The new Inildings and eqaipment are valued at $25,297.â€" 52. Cash on hand at April 36th was approxiumately £38,000. _ ‘‘Probable are" is estimated at about 16,000 tons of about $8 average. Recent work has shown encouraging results and when conditions become normal work can be resumed on the West Dome with profits in sight, ' RHeferring to the wood cut by the Government this summer on ‘the Alâ€" ‘mmqnin Park reserve, The ‘Toronto Telegram makes some interesting com» parisons to give an idea of the amount of hardwood thus made available for fuel. _ About 50,000 cords of wood have been â€"cut. <In fuel value this is estimatted to be equal to 40,000 tons of coal. The Telegram says that if the wood cut were piled four feet high and four feet wide it would stretch in the pile from Toronto to beyond â€"Peterboro, distance of 75 miles, Or, it would take a freight train with one end at the Union‘Depot, Toronto, and the other end at Whitby, 26 miles aâ€" ' way, to take the fuel @away in one load Or, the wood eut is equal to a pile of ‘coal, 100 feet long by 40 feet*wide and 100 feet higher than the City tower, the latter being 300 feet high. The fuel thus made availahle by the Ontario (Government ‘will of course be of use in the coal shortage in Ontario this year, and so in a measure may make the people forget «the fact that the @vérnment missed an opportuniâ€" ty this year:to develop the peat reâ€" ‘@ources of the Province and assist in solving the fuel question in a measure in this way. ‘The Poreupine societies thus mado a grand total of 1673 pairs of socks, 589 suits of, pyjamas, 6584 towels, 814 sheets, 1743 pillows, 44 shirts, 1157 personal property bags, 1033 handkerâ€" 336 washeloths, 122 hed socks, 4 quilts and 10 caps.
