The recent reduction in pulpwood dues has not met with the success anticipated. The main difficulty appears to have been that from the moment the governâ€" ment cut the export fee, the American buyers promptly refused to pay the old price of over $11 a cord and attempted to advantage of the reduction. Since Mr. Heenan did not see how this action on the part of the United. States buyers could have the desired effect in Canada, he promptly refused official ratification to such orders, which under the regulations must first have departmental sanction. Try The Advance Want Advertisements This will not involve any further changes in staff personnel, it was inâ€" dicated. The likelihood appears to be that a Deputy Minister of Forestry will be brought in from ouxtside the serâ€" vice. That Hon. Peteéer Heenan, Minister of Lands and Forests, is going to take a much more active part in the adminâ€" istration of that branch of his services. and concentrate on bringing the deâ€" partment up to a maximum degree of efficienay, was indicated at Toronto last week, according to despatches. For some months, a great part of Mr. Heenan‘s tmie has been spent in ironâ€" ing out the involved Transâ€"Canada highway tangle the Dominion Government. With this arranged beâ€" tween White River and Schreiber by contract and a general plan of arterial road work n>w being possible, Mr. Heeâ€" nan is to concentrate on improvemem.sl in the Department of Lands and Forâ€" ests. Changes Planned in the Northern Development Dept The dance recital and children‘s dress ball by the pupils of Miss Margaret Easton promises to be an event of outâ€" |standing interest and one that will be thoroughly enjoyed Hy all attending. | The event is to be held in the Masonic |hall, Timmins, toâ€"night (Thursday) |and toâ€"morrow night (Friday) comâ€" mencing at 8 p.m. Miss Margaret Easton, who is a very gifted dancer herself, has a large class of very graceâ€" als show an unusual talent and skill in the littler dancers. There have been several references in The Advance to this |event, which is one of special interest and importance in several ways.

Concrete block and brick tile walls are rising rapidly around the steel skeletonâ€"work of the new Palace theaâ€" tre, as Leo MasciOli‘s construction firm keeps the jo> up to schedule. since the job is so far from comâ€" pletion and weather conditions may interfere with the speed of building, no definite date can be set yet at which the Palace will play its first show. R Work of Construction Proâ€" gressing Up to Schedule at the New Palace Theatre Here. New Palace Theatre Rising Rapidly Now Discussing the recent increase in the amusement tax and the addition of new taxes in that line. The Brampton Conservator last week says, in part:â€" "Instead of paying the usual admisâ€" sion Oof 35 cents, 33 cents and the 2â€" cent tax, they will be asked to pay 38 cents, the tax on this type of ticket being raised to 5 cents. Coming from a government which claimed a short while ago the people were already overâ€" taxed, it is not likely this boost will be received with much favour by theaâ€" tre patrons, no matter how much they may try to justify or condone its apâ€" plication on the part of the present administration. Then, t0oo, theatres of the type in Brampton have hag no easy task in maintaining the boomâ€" year standards of programs in the face of unchanging overhead Gurden and substantially decreased revenues. If the higher tax has any effect at all, it will be only in one direction, resulting in hardship for theatre owners and curâ€" tailment of entertainment for people, most of whom have not been able to indulge in much pleasure in the last four Or five years." New Amusement Taxes Hardship to Common Folk She was accompanied to Timmins by Reverend Mother Felicite, Provincial Superior, also of Montreal. The Order of Sisters of Providence is a large one with approximately 110 institutions including hospitals, orâ€" phanages, schools ang academies scatâ€" tered all over Canada and the United States. Reverend Mother Praxede has had extensive experience in hospital work, having been associated in that work for more than 40 years. There are some four thousand members under her charge. These rcoms were not intended fo that ‘purpose but owing to presen circumstances they have been force« into use until such time as a nurses residence can be built, at which tim proper sleeping quarters will be availâ€" able. It is hoped that the nurses‘ resiâ€" dence will be built in the near future TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JU T. and N. O. plays an important part in , Northern life. The service it gives to the mines alone is sufficient reason for praise. Almost every day in the week, mine machinery and supplies are brought in by freight. This machinery might be brought in by trucks, but trucks would take a longer time; and it would be an unsafe mode of transportation when dynamite angq ‘blasting caps were being shipped. The railway coâ€"Operates with the mines when serious accidents occur, such as the Hollinger disaster of 1928, when it rushed north a special train carrying rescue equipment. Without this In recent issues The Advance has been publishing articles from The Porâ€" cupinge Quill with two reasons for this â€"first, for their undoubted interest to readers, and, second, to indicate the special value and interest of the conâ€" tents Of The Porcupine Quill, the anâ€" nual magazine issued ‘by the pupils of the Timmins High and Vocational School. Below will be found another of the special articles in this year‘s issue of The Porcupine Quill. It. mayâ€"be addâ€" ed that The Porcupine Quill is on sale at local book stores and is more than worth the nominal price charged, either from the standpoint of interest or valâ€" ue.

It lOooked for a time as if the Montreal Chinamen had struck an easy bonanza, but it was not so. Chief Desgroseillers and some of his men raided the place, and a total of $176 was collecteq in fines for illegal conduct of a gaming house. The one Chinaman paid the whole shot, and it is not likely that further attempt will be made to run the game at Rouyn as the police are watching the visitors and in addition the game has proved more expensive than appears on the surface. The costs are nearly as heavy ' Early this year, the T. and N. O. inâ€" laugurabcd a new train service for the North. NOw, Timmins, rather than Cochrane, has become the terminal, an arrangement which does away with the necessity of changing trains at Porquis Junction. The northbound train leaves Toronto each night at ten minutes afâ€" ter eleven, which gives the traveller time to go to a theatre, a hockey game, a lecture or a concert, And yet, despite the fact that he has almost two hours more to spend in Toronto, he arrives in Timmins fortyâ€"five minutes earlier than under the old schedule. ’ The Temiskaming and Northern Onâ€" tario Railway is very important in the ‘everyday life of every Northern town, | because, with the exception of four ‘months in the year, all supplies must be brought in by train. Food, clothing, furniture, toOls and everything necesâ€" sary for the comfort of the inhabiâ€" tants is brought in by the railway. ‘Without, it, Northern Ontario would be a vast, denselyâ€"wooded region, with a few trappers, angq with no towns or means of communication with the outâ€" side world. This change in the timeâ€"table is sufâ€" ficient prCof that the authorities fully recognize the value of this railway to Northern Ontario.

Last year the same complaint was made. One despatch last week from Matheson says that bears are seen around the district in great numbers and farmers are annoyed by their presence in the barn yards. One woman and her 15â€"yearâ€"old daughter were coming towards home about dark when they saw a dark figure coming out of the forest and which they supâ€" posed was their dog coming to meet them, but proveqg to be a bear after them. In the race for home the woman fell and injured her knec. Her screams frightened the bear and it ambled off into the woods. Traffic through is good, Col.
