A few of the comâ€" modity rates dealt with in the analysis made will be discussed here. Canned Goods. Commodity rates on canned goods, carloads, are published by the T. N.QO; Rly., from New Liskeard to a number of destinations on its lines. This comâ€" modity, in the absence of the special rates, is subject to 5th class rates in carload lots. The commodity rates carried by the T. N.O. Rly. are from 2 cents to 5icents below the existing fifth class rates or the rates which would have applied if the special rates had ncot been established. Howâ€" ever, when these commodity rates are compared with the regular fifth class rates in southern ~Ontario for the equivalent distances, it is observed that they are actually above.the latter in some instances and only slightly below in others. The published commodity rate from New Liskeard to North Bay, for instance, is 294 cents per 100 pounds, or five cents per 100 pounds, below the regular fifth class rate; the. fifth class rate in southern‘ Ontario, for the distance involved, is 29 cents and, based upon this, the commodity rate would be 24 cents or an excess of $22 per minimum: carload. To South Porcupine, the commodity rate is 31 cents per 100 pounds, or 54 cents below the fifth class: the fifth class rate in southern Ontario for the same distance is 304 cents and the assumed commodity rate, 25 cents, so that the published: comâ€" modity rate represents an excess of $24 per minimum carlcad. The railways in southern Ontario, to meet truck and water competition, pubâ€" lish special rates on canned goods, which are lower than the southern Onâ€" tario ‘{ifth class rates by as much as 27 cents per 100 pounds. This low basis of rates in included in the analysis because it is fair to assume that the pont Phone 109 159 cor. Third and Pine Tar as the and forest wood are _ ment.

However, the rai part of the province, to as Ontario. ine 1 part of the province, to tlonal preojects and for publish many specific c on building material w Hamilton Doin{s Montreal Between Montreal _ In the instances cited, it will be noted that in most cases, the published rate slightly exceeds the basice Ontario stardard mileage scale. The Windsorâ€" Timmins rates. as well as .other rates between Wmdsm and a number of T. . N.O. pomts are below the Onâ€" tario standard scale substantially, for Windsotr tario standard scale substantially, for some obscure reason, but there is still an appreciable ‘differengs in excess of the southern Ontario, or Schedule A basis. ‘_In order to indicate more graphically, the difference between the publishec rates and Schedule A rates for the same distances, we will consider a few typical shipments which would ‘be subâ€" ject to first class rates. ‘The freight charges on a shipment of boots and shoes weighing 400 pounds, from Montreal to New Liskeard, would be $5.76; in southern Ontaric, the shipâ€" ment forwarded the same distance, would be charged $4.02 or $1.74, practically one third less than the charge for movement from Montreal to New Liskeard. The charge for transâ€" portation of a shipment of clothing we‘lghing 500 pounds, from Hamilton to Haileybury, is $6.28; the charge in scuthern Ontario for the sarme distance in $4.50 or $1.78 less. The charges on a shipment of machinery weighing 5.000 pounds and subject to first class, from Toronto to Swastika, amount to $65, while the charge for the shipment in southern Ontario for the distance inâ€" volved would be $47 or $18 less than the ‘Torontoâ€"Swastika movement. An autoâ€" mobile moved as lessâ€"thanâ€"carload shipment, from Windsor to Timmins Windsor JOound outhc Toronto 30,000 pounds so that the charges for a minimum carload from Hamilton to Cochrane and to Timmins, as instances, amount to $184.50 in each case, while the charge. for the same distance in Schedule A territory would amount to $133.50 or $51 less. The charges from Montreal to Cochrane and Timmins exceeded the charge for the equivalent From Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Montreal Montreal Montreal Montreal Toronto Toronto.. Toronto ...

The freight charges for a minimum carload from Hamilton to Swastika are $240 and for a similar haul in southern Ontario, $176 or a difâ€" ference of $64 per car.

Commedity Rates on Roofing, etc. The situation is the same in conâ€" nection with the carload commodity :hargesi rates on roofing, asphalt shingles, and milton wallboard, which represents a fixed percentage of fifth class rates. A comâ€" ‘ a difâ€"| parison of a few of the published rates nimum with the southern Ontario rates for the ) Timâ€"{same mileage, follows: im} THF PORCUPINE ADVANCTZ, TTMMINS, ONTARTO 1¢ ha T‘o 'similar rates enjoyed. in southern Onâ€" tario. The situat.on as affected by joint rates from an to T. N.O. Rly. pcints and points on connecting lines, will next be dealt with. Rates to and from ‘ Nipissing Central Railway stations, beâ€" ‘ cause of certain peculilar circumstances, | will be treated separately. ‘ Rates Between North and South. ! It was intimated previously that the joint class rates between Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway points and stations in scuthern Ontario. (and Montreal) in connection with the | Canad:an â€" National and â€" Canadian !Pacific Railways, adhere fairly closely to the Ontario standard mileage scale of class rates. They are, however, considerahly in excess of the prevailing class rates, or the Schedule A scale in southern Ontario. The latter scale, it was explained, was authorized by the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada for application within terâ€" ritory which can roughly be described as being south of the line from Monâ€" treal to Sault Ste. Marie via North Bay and Sudbury, including these points. Jcint Class Rates. The following comparison of the pubâ€" lshed first class rates between a numâ€" ber of representative points, illustrates | the spread between the published rates I and Schedule A rates for the distances involved. In the other classes, the spread l is proportionately the same. ‘Timmin would be assessed freight charges of $82.75, while in Schedule A territory, for the equivalent distance, the charges would be $61 or $21.75 less. In southern Ontario, the charge for 538 miles, the distance from Windsor to New Lisâ€" keard, would be $21.75 less than the charge for shipment of an automobile from Windsor to New Liskeard. The freight charges on a shipment or houseâ€" hold gocds, furniture or settlers effects, weighing 3,000 pounds, and subject to first class rate, from Montreal to Cochrane, would be $46.50, and for the same distance in southern Oiffario, $32.60, or $12.90 less. Jsoint Rates, Iron, Steel Commodities. The special, or "commodity" rates, as already outlined, are related. to the class rates so that it is ohviaus that the estaâ€" blished commodity rates from southern Ontario poiuts (and Montreal) to T. N.O; Rly. points, must exceed the commodity rates based on Schedule A scale of class rates. That this is a fact, will be shown herein. We will consider first, the rates on iron and steel articles, carloads, specialâ€" ly named for application from a few of the shipning points to a number of T. N.O;: Rly. destinations. The iron and steel commodity rates in southern Ontario are a recognized percentage of Schedule A, fifth class rates and the rates to T. N.O. Rly points are based upon this same percentage of the published, or Ontario standard fifth class rates. A comparison of some of the existing commodity rates, with the rates based on Schedule A, fifth class, is made in the following table. There are many other point commodiâ€" ty rates to and from T. N.O. Rly. points, which, if compared with the scuthern Ontario basis, will show apâ€" preciable differences over the latter.

While a full staff is not yet at work, it is understood that the mill will be running full time as soon as it can be put in shape. There is about four months‘ supply of raw material stacked on the dump below the mill. It is the intention to work this up into pulp which will take about four months, and if conditions then warrant continue operations throughout the winter.
