was not braced for taxes, but that it did not know where or when confiscatory taxation would next undermine affairs. In any case, governments can secarcely expect much from private enterprise unâ€" less they set a good example. Creating employâ€" ment would mean risking and spending money, To all this, The Advance can easily imagine transients replying, "So, what?" The answer to that one is that Canada has failed deplorably in its duty to its people. There should have been much less reliefâ€"and no transients at all. The governments should have seen to it that work was provided for all. Employment is the only cure for unemployment. The Dominion Government has tacitly admitted this, but says that private business and industry should have created the employment. Just how private enterprise could have done this is a mystery, when business and ‘hldustry have been handicapped at every turn by taxation and governmental interference. The uncertainty of taxation has been a chief factor in the slowing down of business, not that business _ "On one freight train from Hamilton yesterday morning thirtyâ€"five men rode into Simcoe," says The Globe and Mail. To the people of Timmins that would rouse little more than the comment:â€" "That happens nearly every day hereâ€"has been happening for years past." There is no more work here for the transients than there is in the tobacco fields. There are literally hundreds after every place that may be open. But this is only one parallel with the tobaccoâ€"growing area. There is another parallel in the fact that warnâ€" ings were issued that the tobaccoâ€"growing section already had a surplus of available labour, just as the fact that there were thousands of more men than jobs in the North was emphasized and reâ€" peated time after time. Probably, the most striking parallel in the two cases is the suggestion that the tobaccoâ€"growing belt believes that the transients :were falsely informed that they should go to the tobacco fields because there was lots of work there. The North believes that in the years past similar advice was given about the Northâ€"â€" to the injury of the North and to the heartbreak of the transients. | Big headlines are being given in the daily newsâ€" papers to the fact that eight thousand transients have crowded into the Southwestern Ontario tobaccoâ€"growing districts in the hope of securing employment. "They are on a hopeless quest," says one newspaper, pointing out that there are eight thousand too many labourers for the work offering, and if by a stroke of sheer luck one or more of the transients were to secure employâ€" ment, it would mean no increase in the amount of employmentâ€"just one man made a transient while another transient secured the place. Judging by the headlines in The Globe and Mail that newspaper is stirred by the fact that eight thousand transients are gathered in one section of country. Almost since the beginning of the depression there have been much more than that number of transients congregated in the North Country. In Timmins for months past there have been 1400 to 1500 men registered as unemployed here, and it is probable there are as great a numâ€" ber who are not registered at the local employâ€" ment bureau. Indeed, it does not seem to be the custom of the regular transients to register. They seem to drift in here literally by the scores each day, stay around for a day or two, and then drift on somewhere else. Without reflection upâ€" on the transients, they seem to have ceased to make any very serious effort to secure permanent employment. One man told The Advance the other day that he was afraid he might faint lfl someone actually offered him a regular and perâ€" manent job. The transients have not much hope! left these days. They have been shunted from pillar to post and back again. No one need imaâ€" gine it is a very cheerful job being a transient. FPew men take any joy out of it. Canada may well be ashamed of itself that there is such an army of | transients that 8,000 can gather in one Rrea ofl ! the province, while more than that number are scattered in a few ‘mining towns in the North. The experience in Timmins has been the experiâ€" ence in Kirkland Lake, Sudbury and other centres where there is believed to be special work in proâ€" gress. In this North the popular tendency was to treat the transients well. "The poor fellows have to go somewhere" was a common expression some years ago. It is heard occasionally even yet. But it did not take Timmins long to learn that with the best will in the world this town could not afford to be generous with the thouâ€" sands of transients flocking here. Timmins was not rich and prosperous enough to keep all the transients of all the rest of the Dominion. The experience that now so startles and perturbs the tobaccoâ€"growing belt has been a common â€" a general â€" situation here for years. | Che Yorrupine Adbuanee t _ On a recent visit to Timmins, Mr. D. J. Pomerâ€" leau, district representati\;e for the Department of Agriculture for North Cochrane, and formerly having Timmins and district under his superâ€" |vision in this capacity, pointed out that Timmins was unfortunate in its choice this year of a buildâ€" ing for market purposes. He brought down here a number of farmers from Cochrane for the marâ€" ket here, but found the curling rink was not an ideal location. He did not consider the building suitable for market purposes and its location was ar from fortunate. He was certain that farmâ€" ers would not be attracted to the market and that customers also would hesitate at crossing the tracks, especially if they had to bring small chilâ€" dren with them as often happens. The Advance published Mr. Pomerleau‘s views on the matter at the time he expressed them, and since then the facts of the case have fully supported his opinâ€" ion. The market this year does not promise sucâ€" cess. Unless it is to fail, it would seem that a change is necessary. A market is desirable here for several reasons. One reason is the benefit to the settlers and gardeners in the district. Anâ€" other is the advantage of the housewives of the community. In the latter connection it should During the royal visit most newspapers seemed to take a joy in "banners," "streamers" and other imposing headlines. The case warranted it. The people liked it. It suited all. Those were the happy days for the headline writers. But sad days are here again, when headlines can be no other than:â€"*‘Twenty Deaths Over the Holiday," or ‘"‘Tarred By Doctor‘s Wife, Nurse Tells Court." It is a hard life, that of the poor headline writer. There is little doubt but that the visit of the King and Queen to this side of the ocean, toâ€" gether with the rapid march of Britain‘s preparâ€" edness and the firmer tone of her diplomacy were fthe chief factors in keeping the peace in Eourpe. It was not the headlines. It is true that after the glorious headlines provided by the facts and popularity and general interest of the royal visit, most newspapers have not had the heart to go back to the old scareheads. But again in this, they have been moved by facts rather than by habit. The newspapers have been comparatively free from threat of war headlines because there have been fewer dangers of conflict. As a matter of fact the majority of newspapers are not anxiâ€" ous for headlines, but rather use headlines to meet popular demand. As proof of this it may be noted that many of the most powerful newsâ€" papers feature the least powerful headlines in their usual issues. For weeks The Globe and Mail, for example, has been avoiding any "streamâ€" ers" at all. Only the importance of the news and the popular request is likely to alter this plan. _ _ The fact that during the recent visit of the King and Queen to Canada the newspapers forâ€" sook warâ€"scare headlines is used to prove that the lfewer headlines in the newspapers the fewer threats of conflict there are in Europe. This theory should not be accepted at face value. The truth is that the very visit to Canada of the King and Queen during a series of crises reduced the threat of war in Europe. The militant nations were stunned by that visit. They read it as sayâ€" ing to them:â€"‘"Instead of Britain being weak and powerless and afraid, the nation is so strong and fearless that royal plans are carried through without fear or hesitation. Britain still goes her way on the high seas without leave of any dictaâ€" tors." Canadians and other Britishers may not have consciously thought of this phase of the matter, but few times in history have there been more striking example of courage and gallantry than the trip across the seas by Britain‘s King and Queen in the present state of the world. Newspapers recently have been accused of causing everything from unrest to war and from panic to hysteria by the use of headlines. Of course, the newspapers are not guilty. They are all ready to admit that much. The newspapers take the logical attitude that they are not responâ€" sible for the headlines. The headlines are deâ€" manded by the news, and the news is made by circumstances and conditions and not by the newspapers. All the newspapers do is to chronicle affairsâ€"and put on the appropriate headlines. and private capital can scarcely be expected to be less careful with their own money than the govâ€" ernments are with the funds gathered largely MARK ET FOR TIMMINS £HE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMM,NB8, ONTARIO In Penticton, British Columbia, the. town counâ€" cil is using a rather unusual proceedure. The town has the opportunity of purchasing a locaâ€" tion for better quarters for the municipal buildâ€" ‘ng, but there appears to be doubt as to the feelâ€" ing of the ratepayers in the matter, while the council does not wish to go to the heavy expense For the first time since February of last year the Canadian dollar was at a premium over the United States dollar this week. Canadians have not been so pleased at anything since the visit of the King and Queen, not because they are ahead of the United States but simply because.â€"they are ahead. be remembered that in no other way will customâ€" ers have the opportunity to secure absolutely fresh produce at first hand. Because of the value of a market to the community, it would appear that the town council would do well to accept the offer made this week to provide a suitable market building for yearâ€"round use at no®other cost to the town than an exemption of taxes. Unless the town is prepared to provide a suitable building itself, this seems to be the favourable plan to adopt for the benefit of all concerned. EGRAVLL AND SANDâ€"AND PLALIR ‘ Manager V. A. James answering questions, told of new ores developed. On thg 2nd level there has been ore found to the north, about 150 feet from the Dime Mines line. The latest drill intersection has been on the bottom level, and is the furthest south ore found to date. This intersection shows l22 feet of .34 oz. cut grade (over $11 'per ton). About 95 per cent of the mill tonnage has been coming from the 2nd and 3rd levels. The entire properâ€" ty results were explained by chart to shancholders. On the bottom levei there has been opened 396 feet of conâ€" tinuous ore, and a raise from the 6th to the 5th level where spectacular ore was opened last year, has been exceptionâ€" ally good, showing $21 cut grade averâ€" 'age. The manager said that on the dip iof the ore, the company acreage gave very good protection. | ‘ Production Gains ! In a supplementary report to the f‘m-i ancial statement, the company affairs were extended from April 30th to the end of July. Production for the three months, May to July inclusive, approxiâ€" mates $464,000, the figures for July noti yet complete,. This was obtained from millinz 34.100 tons. Net recovery per ton for this period has ‘been $13.60. Since commencement of milling on March 154,219 tons have treated for total output in 5 months of $644,â€" 000, or overall net recovery of $11.88. Of this 2,310 tons of highgrads came from ‘the 503 east zore and from sur-! face dumps and included in millfeed. This ore had average of 63 oz. and exâ€" cluding values derived from this highâ€" grade ore, the average mine run showel value of $9.80 per ton, which is someâ€" | what above the calculated ore reserve figure. Average mill recovery was 96.2 per cent. Mining and milling is now at rate of 400 tons daily, and increase from the initial 300 ton rate. It appears 400 tons is sufficient for mine and mill at preâ€" sent, but further moderate additions up to perhaps 500 tons can probably be made in due time without major capâ€" Retiring Bonds The chairman stated directors hiad arrang=sd to deposit a further $215,000 against bond retirement, making $350,â€" 000 total. It is further anticipated the entire bond issue will be retired by the first of 1940, with a treasury being built up. Dividents will be paid as soon as possible, kesping in mind the need for funds for property development to be carried cut. Assurance was riven that shareholders could look forward conâ€" fidently. ‘hat fortunately, through the foresight of Managing Director Douglas Wright, there had been no work accomplished which would need doinr over, the equipm:ent and plant being most efâ€" ficient.

Preston East Dome Intends Early Takingâ€"Up of Bonds Annual Meeting Told of New Ore Located to the South. Ottawa, Aug. â€"2â€"The first of a new series of designs fqr small houses to t known as the "500 series" was anâ€" nounced Saturday by the housing adâ€" ministration, department of finance., The first plan is of Cape Cod style, 1% storeys, selfâ€"contained on the first floor, but providing for two additional tedrooms on the upper floor which may be finished at a later date as required. The ground floor contains .livingzâ€" rcom, bedroom. dining alcove, kitchen and bath. Designed to use standard materials throughout, the house is 24 feet square, providing for exterior finish in either stucco or wood. It is expecied it can be built for $2,000 to $3,000, deâ€" pending on equipment, location and finish. New ore is being developed on all levels from 300 feet to 675 fect. Develâ€" opments are particularly pleasing on the 675 or bottom level. In the hangâ€" ing wall area south of the shaft here, 601 east and west drifts show continâ€" uous length of 396 feet, gradinmzx .59 or. uncut or .29 oz. grade cut across drift. width. A raise to the 550 level was in practically continuous highâ€" grade, with uncut value of 1.65 oz. and cut value .61 oz. There are a number of more or less parallel quartz veins in this area, which are quite promising. Footwall ore has been developed alonz the main drive and the footwall area farther south has been drilled with enâ€" couraging results. New Series of Small Homes Designed by Ottawa Dept. Present development is on scale o 1,500 ft., monthly, together with 1,500 to 2,0C0 ft. diamond drilling. This is at liming of the compressor capacity, and this will be continued until shaft sinking is resumed when lateral develâ€" opment will be somewhat curtailed. Ths manager stated ore reserves are being well maintained and there is every reason to hope present development in ore will result in substantial new tonâ€" nages during the coming year, with gracdi> having fulfilled all previous exâ€" pectations. ital expense for mill equipment. Total mine operating costs for five months of milling have averaced $3.70 perâ€"ton. There may ts some increasse in costs due to heavy development, but it is not anticipated total mine costs wil} tbe much over $4 per ton. Adolf S. Ochs, the noted head of The New York Times, and the moving spirit in establishing the Spruce Falls Pulp and Paper Co. at Kapuskasing, left an estate of $12,211,422â€"a pleasing fortune apparently for a lifetime of talent and energy. But already federal and state taxes have taken away $5,812,953 from the heirs Of course, this still leaves an apparently large estate for division. The trouble, however. is that should one or more of the heirs die in the near future the virtuai halving of the individual estates would be repeatâ€" ed, and it is not difficult to visualize individual heirs being left comparatively in poor cireumâ€" stances. It was the fear of just this sort of inâ€" heritance tax that was a factor in impelling Sir Harry Oakes to seek security for those coming after him by moving to Bermuda. of holding a regular municipal election to vote on the proposition. The plan adopted by the council is to buy space in The Penticton for a ballot form, which ratepayers are asked t» fill out and forward to the town clerk. This is an unusual form of "straw vote", and the reâ€" sults from it will be watched with interest. Menâ€" tion of "straw votes‘" will tempt Timmins people to laugh, but this seems to be a sensible and economical style of straw vote that may mean something.
