Studying the housing problem on behalf of Mayor Walker of New York, Wugust â€" Heckscher suggests that five hundred wealthy citizens of that place might be induced to conâ€" tribute $100,000 each annually for five years as a nucleus towards the elimiation of slums. The very fact that such a suggestion is made is a comâ€" mentary not only upon the wealth of the largest American city, but upon the interest which wealthy men are nowadays expected to manifest in social welfare undertakings. . ‘What‘s that for?‘‘ asked Jones, Junior, pointing out half mast flag to his pa.

N. 0. TO PARRY SOUND In the‘ last issue of The Haileyâ€" burian there appears this paragraph that will certainly rouse some wonder, as well as interest. â€" It is not the first time there has been talk of extending the T. N. 0. southward, but the people in general have been taking it for granted that anything like that has been forgotten for some years. Any extensions of the T. N. O. that are made should be made in the North, where the probability of openâ€" ing up new and profitable country seems to ‘be so much greater. Howâ€" ever, here is the item from The Hailâ€" eyburian :â€" LCC o Zmud as ‘‘"Oh‘‘said pa hurredly, because somebody‘s dead.‘‘ ‘‘According to The Parry Sound Canadian, the mayor and members of the North Bay city. council held a conference with members of the Parry Sound council in regard to a proposal to extend the T.

Arthurs and Dr. Harcourt were the principals in a company that reâ€" cently applied for a charter to build the extension and nothing can be learned of the results of the «conferâ€" ence until these gentlemen have been heard from."‘ "ommercial exhibits will be one of THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The following is from The New Canadia Pacifice BOY‘S EXPLANATION OF THE FPLAG AT HALFâ€"MAST.

Redeemed Financial Standing of the Province. Helpful Legislation Passed Two weeks ago The Advance ediâ€" torially suggested that the ideal platâ€" form for the Ontario Government to use in appealing to the people would be one in which the liquor question would be but one plank, while other questions would have their rightful place. ‘*Wet,‘‘ or ‘*dry,"‘‘ this country has to carry on, and there is more to politics than just the question of a ‘"‘liquor‘‘ or ‘‘temperance‘‘ plank. _ The O.T.A. has proven itself as undesirable in its results, but after the O.T.A. is disâ€" posed of, the country will still go on, and various other interests must reâ€" ceive proper attention in the country. Fortunately, the Ferguson Governâ€" ment has not allowed the O.T.A. to monopolize the stage political. â€" Other planks are provided. Reduction of income taxation is promised; good business methods are assured in the administration‘s work; helpful legisâ€" lation along social and health lines is promised ; and further interest®and assistance are guaranteed for the deâ€" velopment of thig.great North Land. That these promises are not simply empty talk is surely proven by the past record of the Ontario Governâ€" ment. In an editorial article last week The Ottawa Journal thus sums up the Ferguson Government‘s reâ€" cord :â€" Taken all in all, it is a splendid record. It constitutes an additional reaton, perhaps, for the public not permitting itself to be earried away by emotionalism and hysteria over the liquor question in the coming camâ€" paign. If in the coming provincial election the people were called upon to vote solely upon the Ferguson Governâ€" ment‘s record, there could hardly be doubt as to the result. For, beyond any question, Mr, Ferguson has given Ontario the most efficient administraâ€" tion that this province has had in years. It has been honest, vigorous, progressive, and able. 5. Agriculture has ‘been vigorously promoted by (@) more generous exâ€" penditure for agricultural training; (b) assistance in improving methods of production and marketing; (c) enâ€" couragement of coâ€"operative organizâ€" ations; (d) the enlargement of marâ€" kets for farm produce; and (e) by a policy of putting settlers on the land. Under the Drury regime amateurâ€" ishness and political fads brought Onâ€" tario to the point of oppressive taxaâ€" tion and an annual dificit of $15,â€" 000,000. By return to sanity, by practising economy, and by business methods, Mr. Ferguson has wiped out deficits and taxation is reduced. His administrative record, summed up, is this: 6. Social and health legislation of a sane character has been passed. 3. Taxation reduced (a) reduction of the amusement tax; (b) reduction of the tax on motor hcenses and (c) by helghtemng the exem'ptlon on mumclpal income tax to $3,000. 4. A vigorous and successful policy of development has been carried out in Northern Ontario. 4 1. A defimt of $15,000,000 wiped out. 2. Plans made to pay.off the proâ€" vince debt. 7. The Hydro policy has been proâ€" tected, encouraged and expanded. BARRISTER, SOLICITOR, ETC.

So far as the mining inâ€" dustry is concerned, that would be all right, provided the public kept within the facts and h@qsed their opinâ€" ions uponâ€" actual statistics. _ The way, however, is to muiss all the sueâ€" cesses in mining, and emphasize the failures,â€"which are usually not minâ€" ing ventures at all,â€"and then comâ€" pare the result with the suceesses only in the industrial field. Even from the standpoint of the public, too much stress can not be laid upon the truth that the mining industry toâ€"day is conducted on a plan that might with advantage for investors be copied by the general run of industrial conâ€" cerns. The Fortnightly Mining Reâ€" ‘‘As a matter of cold fact, there are few industrial enterprises which can compare in efficiency with an upâ€" toâ€"date mine such as Hollinger, Meâ€" Intyre, Lake Shore, etc. Few indusâ€" trial companies supply their shareâ€" holders with . such eastg‘ compreâ€" hended annual statements as the averâ€" age mining company. Few industrial companies pay the serupulous attenâ€" tion to ecosts that the mines do. ‘‘For instance, Hollinger in calâ€" culating costs run their figures out to the fourth decimal. The reason for this is that while one cent per ton does not look very big, in a year‘s time it amouts to $20, ()OO It is by paying attention to the fourth deciâ€" mals that the mines have been able to show such substantial reductions in costs, and every reduction in costs, no matter how insignificant it may appear means an increase in ore reâ€" Costs Figured to ‘‘Fourth Decimal.‘‘ More Frequent and Clearer Statements /iew puts the matter very clearly ‘and concisely in an editorial article in a recent issue. The Fortnightly Mining Review says:â€" . ‘‘For years it was a common pracâ€" tlce for uninformed writers to comâ€" pare mining and induystri@gl enterâ€" prises to the detriment of the former. In almost every case the risks attachâ€" ed to mining were emphasized if not exaggerated to gain effect. The fact that the chances of a mining enterâ€" prise, according to reliable statistics, far exceed those of the average inâ€" dustrial undertaking was entirely 1gnmed in these compansons, nor was it explained that only in those uncontrollable features such as the deposition of mineral did the element of risk enter into mining to any greater extent than in industrials, Made in Canada by' the makers of Nestlé‘s Buby Food convenience economy > purity, * safety > richness â€" IROQUOIS FALLG PAY TRIBUTE TO ERNIE TATE (From The Broke Hustler) Harry Constable was the officer in charge of the O.T.A. in this district. The nature of his work ordinarily made it the opposite to make a man popular, yet Hiarry‘s method of going about his work earned for him the respect of the, wholemorth country and he had friends even among that class which his activities were directed towards _ There is no case known in which Harry did not first warn a man. When he found that a man was breaking the O.T.A. he made a thorâ€" ough investigation to be sure and then walked in on the man and warnâ€" ed him that he knew he was breaking the law and told him to cut it out or he would have to take action. If the man eut it out, that was the last he heard of it and he could count Harry as a friend. If, however, he persistâ€" ed in breaking the law, Mr. Constable would bring him to court and prove the case which meant a heavy fine. ! He was a man of splendid charaeâ€" ter, a great home man and besides took an interest in many charitable societies and in any movement which tended to the betterment of the comâ€" munity. _ It is sincerely hoped that his murâ€" derer will be brought to justice and got the justice he deserves. serves. â€" This for the reason than only material on which a profit ecan be made is figured as ore reserve."" Held in Highest Regard as a Sportsâ€" man and a Gentleman by Those Who Played Against Him To those who knew Ernie Tate, his untimely end coming in the manner it did, was a distinet shock. Ernie was exceedingly popular in everything he did, business, social and more partiâ€" cularly in the athletic line. Always of the same disposition, which could not be affected either in victory or defeat, this possession along with many others ‘draw the friendship and admiration of even those who rooted against him. No one ever saw Tate play a bad game of ball simply beâ€" cause he _ always â€" gave his best, and that best made him one of the most feared in the north country for the last half dozen years. The Broke Hustler, of Iroqums Falls, this week says :â€" At one time, Ernmie was a pitcher, and he excelled in this line. In the heyday of his baseball career, he could oppose any amateur pitcher im the country, and hold his own., Of late years, he played first *base for While his ability to play ball drew a lot of admiration from friend and foe, it was Ernie‘s disposition which drew friendship. No matter if on the ball field, or in the every day walk of life, he always had a cheery word and a smile for those heknew. The wriâ€" ter cannot recollect ever having heard Tate kick on a decision in reâ€" cent years when he was not pitching. Several Falls players have played with Tate, and found him a splendid team mate.
