Building Boom As a producer of traffic the building industry must not be overlooked. The year 1937 has been marked by extensive building programs in practically all Northern towns. In the four centres aloneâ€"Timmins, Rouyn, Noranda and are now twin cities of Northwestern qQuebec, with a combined population of 15,000. The birth and growth of these large centres have given an impetus to agriculture and the building trades, which has resulted in the stabilization of these important industries. Thus doss history repeat itself, for it is not long since the discovery of silver in the year 1903, which brought about almost over night the establisment of the famous Cobalt.camp, resulting in the rapid deâ€" velopment of settlement in the clay belt. of which New Liskeard, a town of some 5000, is a thriving centre. | Ing young city of 22,000. Rouyn and Noranda, practically unknown in 1925, As an introduction to a rapid review of the activitiee and outlook of the peoples in the T. N. O. area, let it be recalled that the development of the great mining centres has been very largely crowded into the last fifteen years. In 1921 Timmins, the principal town in the Porcupine camp, had a population of 3800â€"now boasts of over 25,000. Kirkland Lake in 1926, a town of 3500 inhabitants, is now a flourishâ€" That the mining industry has been the predominant factor, in the general improvement, no one will deny, but the other key industries of the North have played their part and a large one in the improved economic situation. reasonably safe to assert that 1937 will prove‘to be the best year financially and otherwise that the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway has known in 35 years of operation. To date the year, as far as Northern Ontario is concerned, has not been notable for any outstanding developments, but it has been one of steady progress, in which the optimism evident in the late months of 1936 has been more than justified.

It is not necessary to dwell exetnsively on the general mining situation, as much is written from day to day on this inexâ€" The products of the forest constitute a large part of the southbound tonnage imoved by his railway and the present prosperity of the pulp and paper inâ€" dustry is fully reflected in the tonnage figures for the first half of 1937. The mills in the T. N.O. territory are working to full capacity and among them produce, daily, between forty and fifty cars of vaper and woodpulp, all of which move to southern points in Canaâ€" da and the United States over the T. N.O. lines. The yearly cut of pulpwood by settlers and small bush contractors amounts to thousands of cords and conâ€" tributes much to the welfare of the settler. Dairy farming is now largely follow'- ed in the areas close to Kirkland Lake and Timmins. The milk consumption in the two towns mentioned amounts to some fourteen or fifteen thousand quarts per day, and this is all supplied by the local farming communities. In addition, cream, butter and eggs net the farmers a good return. The demand for hogs this year has been exceptional, and the prices offered have been very attractive. tractors have known a busy and sucâ€" cessful : | The increased activity in the building lmdm_try has had its natural effect on the lumber trade, which in 1937 will easily exceed the volume of business done in the previous year. It is worthy of the note that practically all of the old lumber stocks have been cleared out and that in anticipation of a good season in 1937â€"38 timber operations are expected to expand. The railway has handled a large tonnage in lumber this season for both local and outside marâ€" kets, and has thus benefited from the favourable position enjoyed by the m-l dustry. Agriculture has now firmly establish-l ed itself in the clay belt contiguous tol this railway, and is in a prosperous and healthy state. Prices are reasonably firm, and with a large consumers‘ marâ€" ket in the nearby mining centres, the demand is nearly equal to the supply.

Railway has kept pace with the improved times and benefited much from the new business developed on every side. While figures are only available for the first seven months of the calendar year, they are sufficient to show that 1937 has been a year of increasing revenues.
