Further evidences of progress are to be found NORTH AMERICAN LIFF HAD G00D YEAR IN 1928 In presenting the 49th annual report of the North American Life, Mr. J. H. Gundy, dealt first with Canadian conâ€" ditions. General business has, he said been most satisfactory, fianancially and Company Shows> Substantial Growth and Expansion. Report Deals with Conditions in Canada. industrially prosperity. in the large savings deposits, improved foreight trade, increased building. acâ€" tivity, increased sales of life insurance, increased railway earnings, and imâ€" proved conditions of employment. The company brougnt to conclusion highly successful year. The insurance in force now exceeds one hundred and eighty million dollars. A splendid inâ€" crease of $3,357,221 brought the total assets of the company up to $38,965,â€" 288. Of this amount $22,535,745 is inâ€" vested in Government and other bonds, municipal debentures and stocks, the market value of which exceeds the book value of $1,494.104. An increase in the surplus fund of the company of over $660,000 has brought the total to well over the seven million dollar figure. Despite a tendency towards lower inâ€" terest rates the company has maintainâ€" ed its high standard and the average rate of interest earned in 1928 was 6.20 p.c. This is an improvement over that of the former year. The net premium income showed the gratifying increase of nearly $600,000 and reached a total of $6,175,780.55. The income from all other sources amounted to $2,490,850, bringing the total to the high figure of $8.666,630.. In all policyholders and beneficiaries received a total of $3,385,743.95. Of this amount $2,342,161.66 was paid to living policyholders thus proving that life insurarce is a safe and profitable investment as well as sure protection. Indications point to greater expanâ€" sion in 1929. A broader realization of the benefits which life insurance offers. and the important part it plays in our prosperity and progress points the way to greatly increased development in every branch this year.

Death of Mrs. Ferguson at Haileybury Last Week Friends of the family in Timmins and district will regret to learn of the death last week of Mrs. Peter Ferguson at Haileybury. In referring to the death in its last week‘s issue The Hailâ€" eyburian says:â€" "Haileybury lost one of its pioneer. citizens this week in the person of Mrs. Mary Ferguson, widow of the late Peter A. Ferguson. She passed away at her home on Georgina Avenue early on Sunday morning, following an illness that had lasted almost a year. For months Mrs. Ferguson had been conâ€" fined to her bed and her death was not unexpected. She was the mother of a well known Haileybury family and the whole town extends sympathy to the bereaved ones. The late Mrs. Ferguson was born in Leitchfield, Quebec, almost seventyâ€"eight years ago. With Mr. Ferguson and the family she came to Haileybury in 1904 after some years spent in Mattawa and Temiskaming, Que., and has been a resident here ever since. Mr. Ferguson died in 1910. Burviving members of the family are five boys amd one daughter. They are Messrs Peter A; Lorne H., Russell A., Colin _R., Clifford B:., and MiIs. H. J. Boysen. Mrs. Boysen lives in Russel, Kansas, while the others live ir the North Country, and those who have not their homes in Haileybury are often here. On Monday evening funeral service for the late Mrs. Ferguson was held at the home of her son, Mr. Lorne Ferguson, Georgina Avenue. where many old friends gathered to pay their last respects and to offer their symâ€" pathy to the family. This service was conducted by Rev. D. A. MacKeracher, pastor of the United Church, of which deceased was a member. On Tuesday the remains were taken to Mattawa for interment which took place on Wedâ€" nesday. The pallbearers were Messrs Geo. T. Smith, A. MacLean, A. P. Ferâ€" guson and Mr. McDonald, of New Lisâ€" keard. Messrs Peter and Lorne, with their cousin, Mr. W. A. Ferguson acâ€" companied the remains to Mattawa. The passing of Mrs. Ferguson severs another link with the early days of Haileybury and removes one who was a revered mother, a respected citizen and an active and well loved member of the community." An Englishman was filling out an apâ€" plication for life insurance. His father had been hanged, but he did not like to admit the fact. So when he came to the line, "cause of father‘s death," he wrote the following: "Met his death while taking part in public function, during which the platform on which he was standiing gave way beneath him." ANNQGUNCER Jack Brady THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 25¢ , To summarize the situation: We have | Canadian forest areas capable of furâ€" |nishing our wood supplies in quantities far beyond our requirements. Why, then, waste time considering as a panaâ€" | cea a policy which can at most affec: | but a negligible sercentage of our forest area on the one hand, or our total cut or utilization on the other, particularly when the adoption of such a policy would bring direct hardship to thousâ€" | ands of the rural dwellers in this counâ€" |try. What needs to be aone is this: tTackle the fundamental as contrasted with the superficial causes of timber exhaustion. rouse the nation to a plan _ Recently there have been renewals ;of the proposal that a straight em-! bargo be placed on all pulpwood. This| idea has been put forward at many times during the past few years, and the difficulties experienced recently by the paper manufacturers has added to the tendency to advocate the embargo as a method of helping the newsprinti makers. If the United States were pendent on Canada for its supply ori pulpwood there would be a good arguâ€"| ment, but the fact is that pulp in variâ€"| ous stages of manufacture have been | freely imported from European counâ€"| tries to the United States in the past: few years, and this pulp has been so! cheap that it not only has helped the| United States paper mills but it has| also displaced Canadian pulp to a cerâ€"| tain extent. The chief reason that The: Advance, like the Northern Ontario Board of Trade and other bodies, has opposed the idea of an embargo is that | with an émbargo the settlers would have‘ to sell their pulpwood to the Canadian mills at the price that would soon be. set by the latter when freed from the competition of United States buyers of pulp. Already the Canadian mills have the advantage of the freight rate from this North to the U.S. mills; that seems to be advantage enough. Other arguâ€" ments against an export tax or an emâ€" bargo on the export of pulpwood were vigorously presented by Ralph P. Bell, | of Halifax, viceâ€"president and manager of the Canadian Pulpwood Asscociation, |at a meeting of the Montreal Young Men‘s Canadian Club recently. Mr. | Bell insisted that an embargo would be prejudicial to the interests of Canada ‘land that any interference with the right of a person to sell his products ‘‘ where he pleased was an unwarranted \|restraint on his actions and might lead | to serious consequences. THINKS THAT EMBARGO ON PULPWOOD NOT ADVISABLE Manager of Canadian Puipwood Assoâ€" ciation Gives Facts and Figures on Question at Issue j The speaker quoted Dr. J. H. White, Professor of Forestry, University of Toâ€" ronto; Roland D. Craig; E. H. Finlayâ€" son, director of Forestry for the Dominâ€" ion; and Dr. C. D. Howe, to show that Canadian forests properly managed would assure an ample supply of wood for all needs. There has been a great change in the view as to the conservaâ€" tion of the forests; 6C years ago forests were deliberately burned for settlement purposes. From the point of view of. the present, they might agree that thci forest assets were not well handled and that enormous depletion was allowed to take place through neglect of adequate forest protection. To correct this situâ€" ation was the problem. "Suppose" said Mr. Bell, "we consider the nation in the light of trustee of an estate in which we as individuals have certain very de-i finite rights: We, as living heirs, are| entitled to the utilization of the annual| yield from this estate, but the capital must be retained for succeeding generâ€"| ations. The ownership of natural re-i sources in Quebec, and Ontario, and the Maritime Provinces is vested in the provincial Governments and national| policy in regard to forests can, thereâ€"| fore, be only reflection or consolida-! tion of the various policies of these proâ€"| vinces. + | Toâ€"day Canada was using 75 per cent. of the pulpwood and exporting 25 per. cent., which was in great contrast to a few years ago. The Federal and Proâ€" vincial Governments owned or controlled about 85 p.c. of the forests, and pulpwood from these laris were prohibited; anâ€" other five per cent. was owned by priâ€" vate companies, leaving only 10 pe> cent available from which pulpwood could be exported. He argued that setâ€" tlers and farmers were entitled to sell their pulpwood in the same manner as other people could sell their commodiâ€" ties. As a rule farmiers‘ wood was cheaper than that secured by the paâ€" per companies from their own limits. Those who favoured an embargo would prohibit pulpwood from being exported but would noi apply the same prohibiâ€" tion to the wood when cut into rough logs. Both pulpwood and saw lumber were produced from the same trees, and he objected to the discrimination in the case of pulpwood. Two cords of pulpâ€" wood were equal to 1000 feet of rough lumber, and both these commodities were about equal in value. According to Roland D. Craig, forestry engineer and chief statistician of the forestry branch at Ottaw@, 62 per cent. of the tree was wasted in lumber operations, whereas in pulpwood only 23 per cent. of the tree was wasted; in addition to that lumbering operations involved a far greater fire risk owing to the debris left in the forest. ‘ So far as the products of the forests were concerned, the public benefit would have to be promoted by some policy which would apply to the larger bulk of the total annual consumption of wood, rather than to a method whicn concentrated on the comparatively negligible percentage of that consumpâ€" tion, and particularly so when the apâ€" plication of the policy suggested was likely to bring hardship and distress to 50,000 settlers. The conservation of the forests was a question of ascertaining the best feasible forestry policy, both from a technical and economical point of view, the application of which would result in the maximum sustained yield per acre. Once this was accomplished the question of sale and market would automatically take care of itself. Mr. Bell argued that the restrictions of the free sale in the open market of timber cut from freehold lands could have but one result, namely, to enrich the wealthy paper manufacturer and impoverish the small woodlot owner. "Toby," said to be the bestâ€"known idog in Cobalt, was killed by a T. N. _O. train on the tracks near the Mining Corporation last Wednesday. The enâ€" 'ig'meer saw Toby and whistled, but apâ€" parently the dog was dayâ€"dreaming for he heeded not the warnings of the onâ€" coming .engine. ‘The engineer tried to ‘stop the train rather than run over \,Toby but was unable to do so in time. i Toby was owned by Sergt. Frank Gardâ€" ‘ner, of the Provincial Police, and was %well-known both around Cobalt and to \ the trainmen on the T. N. O. Toby was quite a traveller, having recently lretumed from a trip into Red Lake. He \ was part Great Dane, so was a perfect ,gentleman. Timmins people will reâ€" {member another ‘"Toby" who was {famous dog here in early days. The \Timmins Toby was famous for his abilâ€". ‘ity to eat, He was a discriminating ;eater also, and oldâ€"timers used to folâ€" low Toby to his favourite restaurant as \he was certain to pick only the best and he tried them all. Another famous dog here in earlier days was big "Old Mike," a Great Dane owned by E. H. | Bridger. "Old Mike" was one of the |first dogs to do freighting work into | Iroquois Falls before the railway went in to the new paper town. In his old age, "Old Mike" was a star boarder at 1Fat‘s restaurant here, and had a proper iappreciation for the kindness and good |nature of the Chinamen there. . The | Chinamen were never able to break .l“Old Mike" of his habit of drinking the off the potatoes. He would pass !by the ordinary water they left for him | in dishes on the floor and hunt up the | potatoes in the big pails, drinking his |fill from the water there. The good |nature of the Chinamen was fully proâ€" | ven by the fact that they never abused || "Old Mike" though he had an almost |daily habit of knocking dishes off the with his tail as he stamped throuh the restaurant to the kitchen for his meals. "Old Mike" stood higher than the restaurant tables and his happy tail swung right and left like the propeller of an airship. | I of scientific forestry, and adopt a policy that will result in a growth equivalent to the ‘annual cut and a consequent sustained yield. It is not the wood which is cut and sold, but the wood wasted by lack of fire protection and sound forestry methods which is deâ€" pleting our resources." At the conclusion of the address Mr. Bell answered a number of questions, and expressed the opinion that if an embargo resulted in additional newsâ€" print mills coming to Canada, it would simply aggravate the situation; they did not want more millsâ€"there was alâ€" ready overâ€"production; what was wantâ€" ed was more markets. Contrary to general opinion, the great bulk of the pulpwood exported was not for newsâ€" print mills, it was for fine paper mills. A recent college graduate applied in the local butcher shop for a job. The butcher looked him over carefully and then said: "We need an energetic young man to run the slicing machine.

Therel were independent newspapers years ago, just as toâ€"day, and the good ones thrived even when they kicked ove: the party traces as they often did. The Toronto Telegram, just to quotel one example, was a party paper insofar as it supported the Conservative side in general, but oldâ€"time Tories will reâ€" call the fact that its independence was frequently very irritating to the party managers, or wouldâ€"be managers. As for The Toronto Globe, it was always a newspaper of strong opinions andl ideas, and if these ideas did not harâ€" monize with the thoughts of the party stalwarts, then The Globe‘s opinion was that the party needed to do the changing. It is true that there appears to be less bitterness in party discussions toâ€"day then thirty years ago, but this is largely due to the fact that less atâ€" tention is paid to political topics, It seems to be a case of knowing less raâ€" ther than caring less. As for hideâ€" bound party papers, they still live, and it would not be necessary to go outside of Toronto for an example. The Mail and Empire and The Globe toâ€"day apâ€" pear to be more independent than beâ€" fore, but that may be nothing more than the general increase in prestige and ability that has come with the years. The press of toâ€"day generally seems to be attempting to give real service in Canada not only to its imâ€" mediate community but also to the country as a whole. In this regard The Speaker points out one line on which the press can do much for Canâ€" ada, and it is pleasing to note how newspapers like The Globe, The Mail and Empire, and others large and small have lined up, almost automatically it would seem, to give this service. It is pleasing in this connection to note that it was a North Country newspaperâ€" The Sudbury Starâ€"that gave the necessary leadership along this line, spending time, effort, money and talent to make clear to loyal Canadians the danger with which aliens, and worse than aliens, were threatening this counâ€" try. The New Liskeard Speaker puts the case this way:â€" "Owing to foreign immigration, and the dangerous teaching of some of these immigrants, it looks as though Canada sSCHUMACHER L.0.B.A. SOCIAL EVENING AND CARD PARTY A social evening and card party, unâ€" der the auspices of the ladies of Goldâ€" en Glow Lodge, No. 742, Schumacher, will be held in the Oranye hall on Monday evening of next week, Feb. 11th, commenciny at 8 o‘clock. A generâ€" al invitation is extended to all to attend and enjoy a pleasant evening. SHOULD INCREASE BOUNTY ON wWOLVEs IN PROVINCES In a editorial article last week The Sudbury Star says:â€"*"The question has arisen that now under the $15 wolf boonty there are more wolves killed than under the $40 county administerâ€" ed during the Drury Government term. Jack Miner, the birdman, in commentâ€" ing on this point, says that when the $40 bounty was paid the Government took the whole pelt or skin and got the revenue from the pelt, but now under the $15 bounty the trapper keeps the skin the same as in early 1900‘s, which means practically the same as $40 to the trapper. The reason for more wolves being killed the last few years is beâ€" cause there are more to kill. Back in 1900‘s, hunters were allowed two deer at one dollar each for license; now hunters are allowed one deer and liâ€" cense four dollars. Had the wolf bounâ€" ty increased in proportion to hunter‘s deer licenses, there wd@uld have been fewer wolves today and more deer, Mr. Miner thinks, and deer which have been eaten up by wolves the last 20 years could have been used for humanity. His suggestion is to raise the bounty on wolves and at the same time raise the hunter‘s license high enough to do it; also to send a delegation to interview Quebec and Manitoba anthorities and arrange for bounties to be the same." will need the influence of a sane and very independent press to keep our country free from being ruled by this dangerous foreign element. The leadâ€" ers of these immigrants will use their influence with the wireâ€"pullers of our political parties, and herein is where we see the need of an independent press to expose trafficing with the enâ€" emies of our country. Foreigners will support that political party which will make the largest concessions to them. Occurrences exposed in Toronto and Sudbury reveal the aggressiveness of these foreigners. They must not be allow to hold the balance of political power and become the "spoiled childâ€" ren" in Canadian politics."
