The too rapid growth of a communâ€" ity is liable to overtax the municipal administrative eapacity of the corâ€" poration, fortunate indeed as we of Timmins can count ourselves ig that respect with our present council. But it is in building that the greatâ€" est errors are made during a boom period. _ Could the pioneers of this town have but foreseen the undoubted permanency, the wonderful prosperity and progress made in a few short years, I venture to predict that some of the buildings in the centre of the town, that now constitute not only an architectural eyesore but an actual fire danger, would have been built better, bigger and of BRICK. Un fortunately, even yet there exists in the heart of the town some glaring econstructional errors of wood, adâ€" mittedly built during a boom period. Is it policy, or is it poverty, that preâ€" vents their owners from eonverting their present business places from board to brick. from blots to beauty? ciating to the full the publicity given to this community by the aforesaid publications, there yet remains the proven fact that booms are oftâ€"times apt to be converted into boomerangs. No one but a persistent pessinmust can deny, in view of the recent disâ€" coveries of valuable copperâ€"gold ore at Kamiskotia, and other places geoâ€" vraphically nearer, the almost phenoâ€" menal progress in accelerated and inâ€" creased production of gold in local mines, that Timmins‘ growth as a gzreat mining, supply and civie centre is assured. And while duly appreâ€" ciating to the full the publicity given Dear Sir:â€"It is being freely and trequently predicted by many influenâ€" tial papers and periodicals in their pages dealing with mining and finanâ€" cial news, that in the very near fuâ€" ture Timmins is in for a decided boom. The Editor of The Porecupine Advance Suggests New Town Hall and Post Office for Timmins Writer Points Out Need for Permanent and Fireâ€"Proof Buildings in this Progressive Town. Municipal Buildâ€" infi Should be in Keeping with the Community.

Internal and External Pains But there are two instances which I must particularize, in spite of my natural timidity, and the first of these is the town hall. ‘*A thing of beauty is a joy for ever‘‘â€"but can anyone by any stretch of imagination connect that quotation with out present Town Hall (and Police Station!)? Adâ€" mittedly, those who pay *‘Ten and eosts‘‘ have not the desire to search for the beauty, nor yet the joy of that building! Admittedly, also, the fact remains that the late unlamented **New Council,"‘ by their weird and wondrous financial operations covering the period of their office, have left the present council about enough dollars to devote to a new town hall as had the winner of the Whiskerino Contest whiskers to spare over his nearest rival â€"and that was mighty few. But the fact remains that we reâ€" quire a new town hall, moreâ€"commoâ€" dious and more in keeping with the communityâ€"and it must be of brick, built with an eve to beauty and busiâ€" J dare not be so impertinent or imâ€" politic in writing so strongly had I not the genuine excuse of my sincere wishes for the betterment of this town, which provides me with my livelihood, together with the added excuse of generalization. No one can believe that it is policy, for the suspense created and endured by the very real danger of fire, and the additional expense of insurance, effectively disposes of that.

BENEFIT DANCE, APRKIL 30, BY CORNISH POOTBALL CLUB Hon. ‘Mr. Ferguson, according to The Toronto GHlobe, gave some inkling of his plan when he stated that a perâ€" sonal canvass of the province had reâ€" vealed the fact that many industries would be glad to coâ€"operate in the building up of such an organization. Such an institute, he contended, would do much to cheapen processing meâ€" thods in mining, woodworking, paper and allied industries in the country. From the present mobilization of forces in Ontario, there will grow, the Premier Minister oonhdent]y exâ€" pects, a nationâ€"wide organization exâ€" pending its time and money in solyvâ€" ing scientifically all problems of proâ€" duction and continuation of industries and natural resources. Judging from articles in the Toâ€" ronto newspapers, however, Premier Ferguson is one who sees the possibiliâ€" tiege of the idea. Premier Ferguson is apparently fully alive to the possiâ€" bilities of Northern Ontario and is missing no chance for the developâ€" ment and expansion of this country and its resources along the best lines. According to one of the newspaper articles referred to, the creation of an Industry Research Institute, with an endowment of perhaps $2,000,000, is the ultimate aim of Premier Ferguâ€" son in his policy of increased developâ€" ment of Northern Ontario. * Those who follow the thoughtful work of the Northern Ontario Assoâ€" ciated Boards of Trade will recall that a couple of years ago a resolution inâ€" troduced by Iroquois Falls suggested the creation of a committee that would carry on a \scientific research in regard to industrial matters in the North Land. The resolution dealt with ways and means that might be devised or the utilization of byâ€"proâ€" ducts of the industries of the North Land, and naturally the pulp and paper industry was icluefly considered but at the same time it was clearly indicated that the proposal was capâ€" able of extension to other industries and to other lines. The Iroquois Falls Board of Trade touched on the pulp and paper industry because that was the one concerning which the Board of Trade had the most inâ€" formation and the largest array of data. It was pointed out in the disâ€" cussion that there were many byâ€"proâ€" ducts possible in the handling of pulpâ€" wood from the forest to the mill, and that new industries wiuld develop folâ€" lowing a complete study of conditions. It was also pointed out that what apâ€" plied to the pulp and paper industry also no doubt held true of other lines. The Associated Boards of Trade deleâ€" gates gave the question much attenâ€" tion, but it is a question whether the gseneral public realized the importance of the matter under discussion. | INOUSTRIAL RESEARCH INSTHTUTE FOR NORTH Premier Ferguson Mentions Plan in Policy for Increased Developâ€" ment of North Land. ness. Why not, when finances permit, a combined town hall and community hallâ€"a revenue producer, as well as a revenue extractor ? And the Post Office! I have no fault whatsoever to find with the service, handicapped as are the staff with an obsolete building; but, for the good of Timmins, I do earnestly wish that the prominent politician who promised Timmins a new and more commodious post office would at least think of putting into performance that promise immediateâ€" ly, and provide us with a post office worthy of the town, and the staff who so ably carry on under difficulties; but it simply must be of bricky, and so more fireâ€"proof than the present structure, and of a design that wxll! be a credit even for a creditable town.

My wife is with me on this tripâ€"the only white woman who went north of Patricia country. She can handle this wolf too. I have two other timber wolves at my camp in Deloro township, near Timmins, but they are harder to handle, as they like the taste of human blood.

The Howey Red Lake Gold Mines have a large equipment of machinery in and a good supply of food. 1 am told that over 300 tons of machinéry and supplies have been taken in to the Howey from Hudson, a distance of 140 miles. They had eight Fordson tractors and a large number of teams of horses rushing the stuff in. Everyâ€" thing is in now ; there are no teams on the road ; and the eight Fordson tracâ€" tors belonging to the ‘Howey Gold Mines ase being left at Red Lake. *‘*The ice is going fast, and there is very little snow in the bush. We have had two days of rain, and the lakes and rivers are badly flooded. With two and three feet of water in places, there is hardly anyone travelâ€" ling by foot or dog teams. ‘*There have been two airships flyâ€" ing here. One big plane is owned by the Patricia Air Service, and the Western Canada Air Service has a Folker plane. They have been bringâ€" ing in cement, eight or ten bags on each plane, amounting in all to about 810 lbs. per trip, for the Howey Gold Mineis. The Patricia Air Service made two trips a day and the Westâ€" eren Canada Air Service, with their Folker plane, had one trip a day. These two planes have brought in a good many dozen‘ bags of cement. The planes charge ten cents a pound for bringing in freight, so the cement will cost a lot by the time it is laid down at the Howey Mines. ‘*There is quite a lot doing around Woman Lake district also. Over fifty tons of stuff have gone into that country. Gold Pines is quite a place of its own. Quite a difference since I was there a year ago. ‘*The Hudson Bd\ Co. have brought their trading post closer to the Howey Red Lake. ‘*The Howey has men sinking a threeâ€"compartment shaft.
