Ball Grounds, opp. Knigsht Bros McKinnon the town a beauty spot as the Abitibi Company took in making such a town possible. And by the way, Iroquois Falls is not a *‘*‘company‘‘ town in the ordinary way. It has its own municipal government, and. the most democratic committees counsellors Indeed, outsiders might suspect that the only interference by the Abitibi Company takes the form of putting up the money after the people decide Jjey want some new improvement. Among its public features Iroquois Falls now boasts beautiful parks, fine roads, miles of sidewalks, one of the largest hotels in the North Country, one of the biggest and most moderniy equipped public school buildings, good tennis courts, large athletic ground, and a magnificent golf course on proâ€" cess of construction. The new public school is a modern structure of the most approved type, finished in stucco, wit‘1 the interior finish throughout in hardwood. _ High ceilings, shaded electric lights, and practically perfect ligthing, heating and ventilation syâ€" stems make it the most desirable type of school building. It will accommoâ€" date 400 pupils. The new ‘hotel is also modern and perfectly equipped in every respect. 1It would indeed apâ€" pear to be too large and ambitious for a town no bigger than Iroquois Falls. But it is already taxed to ecapacity. Instead of being too large, further exâ€" tensions may shortly be required. The hotel now has over 200 rooms, and aâ€" bout 25,000, meals are served in it every month. There is much construction work There is much construction work now in progress at Iroquois Falls, and even greater things are planned for the town. There are extensions now under way to the pulp and paper mill, certainly now the most perfectly equip’ ped, if not the largest, of its kind on the continent. One paperâ€"making maâ€" chine recently imported from England! and now waiting the completion of the| addition to house it, is the largest | machine for papermaking in the world. A number of new houses are in course empiove town when he steps off the train at the depot. Just before him is the large ‘*‘Civic Centre,‘‘â€"a park of wonderful lawns and magnificént flowâ€" er beds. The rost of the town supâ€" ports this pleasing first impression. Each house has its own lawn, wellâ€" kept, ~and beautiful with flowers. There does not seem ‘to be a negleceted home in the town.â€" Evidently the citiâ€" zens take the same pride in keeping the town a beauty spot as the Abitibi »V(‘l that tihe chief complaints conme from outsiders, rather than from those who live at Iroquois Fal‘ls and thus might be expected to suffer from any evils necessary in *Companyâ€"owned‘ towns. A visit to Iroquois Falls is likely to sugge:t that ‘‘there‘s a reason,"‘ and a comparison of Iroquois Falls with otrer free and untramelled towns of the Province seems to be all in favour of Iroquois Falls. There may be disâ€" advantage to a ‘*Companyâ€"owned‘"‘ town, but in the ease of _ Iroquois Falls, as the ‘matter works out in practice, the benefts far outweigh any drawbacks. If the people of Iroâ€" quois Falls do not feel that they are happily situated in their beautiful town with its wide and _ wellâ€"kept streets, its miles of sidewalks, its 250 or more comfortable ‘homes, ({every one with furnace, water, light, bathâ€" room, sewerage, etc.,) its wonderful lawns, its public parks, its public and private profusion of flower garâ€" dens and beauty spots,â€"then the peoâ€" ple of Iroquois Falis are difficult inâ€" deed to please. Under no known syâ€" stem of promisenous private ownerâ€" ship could such a town as Iroquois Unrestricted townsites in the North Land are weldlâ€"known for their fireâ€" traps, â€" unsanitary eonditions, overâ€" crowding and all other municipal evils.*+ â€" Troquois Falls has none of these undesirable foatures. The visitâ€" or receives his first impression of the town when he steps off the train at the depot. Just before him is the ONEDF TAE WONDER TOWN OF THE NSRTH L.ND Remarkable Progress Mads by Big Faper Town,â€"One of the Proâ€" vince‘s Bsauty Spots. Falls be built:â€" up in so short a time. Only a few years ago Iroquois Falls was not ineptly described as a *""mudâ€" dy clearance in the bushÂ¥."‘ â€" Toâ€"day it is one of the Beauty_Towns of the one of ithe most pleasing resiâ€" dential places in Province. If you think *‘*company‘‘ ~towns are wrong in theory, just visit Iroquois Falls toâ€"davy and vyou will be tempted From time to time compiaints are heard regarding Iroquois Falls being kept as a **‘Compiany owned town."‘ At first it ssoems rather odd that the chief complaints conme from you fThink *‘ â€" »towns: . are wrong in theory, just visit Iroquois Falls toâ€"day and you will be tempted to believe that theory and practice do not always make. a perfestiy matched team. se wintetr rmality a n( iT P1 AC ilike L“ AB and ses are in course Company T i€ THr POLCUPTNE ADVAX Â¥1 1€ Anpany One of the features of the negotiaâ€" tions was the report made on the proâ€" perty by ‘Col. Fielding, D. 8. O., of London, England, who made the exâ€" amination for the English syndicate. In this report Col. Fielding estimates that 350,000 tons of $11:50 ore have already been blocked out ready for milling. Taking these figures, it fileahs that the company has $3,850,â€" 000 in reserves that can be taken out as soon as the construction of the mill is completed and. production started on a large scale. that 30( already milling. eans t 000 in r water, bathroom, sewerage, etc. There is only one ‘house to every two lots and this means good lawns gardens for every home. Some of the flower and vegetahle gardens are **worth a most advantageous one, both for the company and the shareholders, as it assures the mine of sufficient funds to bring it into the ranks, of the large producers within a minimum space of time. The company states that the option required on 2,000,000 shares of shareholders‘ stock at a price of $1.00 and $1.25 per share, which is a conâ€" dition of the offer made by the Enâ€" glish interests, ts being well responded to, and a considerable amount of stock has already ibeen received. The Comnpany point out in this connection, however, that each and every shareâ€" holder must do his share by optioning at least 50 per cent. of his stock, as the deal eannot be ratified otherwise. As it appears to be, decidedly in the interests of the shareholders to option their stock and thus secure for the treasury the eapital to build the mill and carry on ‘the development, the company does not anticipate any difâ€" ficulty in sécuring the required 2,000,â€" 000 shares necessary to complete the deal. ' Friends in this district were sincerâ€" ‘y grieved last to learn of the sudden death at Kapuskasing of Mr. P. J. MeConomy, a wellâ€"known railâ€" rgad man in this section of the North Land, being for several years on what is termed "the Falls run,"" from Porâ€" quis Junetion to Iroquois Falls and reâ€" turn. Recently Mr. MeConomy has been at ‘Kapuskasing where he has been â€" yardmastor for the National Transcontinental. _ Mr. . MceConomy passed away on Sunday, Sept. 21st. Among the near relatives surviving is a son, Mr. Ken MeConomy, who is alâ€" so wellâ€"known and popular in railroad ard public circles for his knowledge of and attention to sports and sportâ€" mattor. KAPUSKASING PAPER MILL TO BE READY FOR USE IN MAY. The big pulp and paper industry at Kapuskasing is making big progress in the work of construction of tempâ€" orary buildings and getting ready for the actual work of preparing imill buildings, ete., to house the various departments of this big new pulp and paper concern. Speaking of the matâ€" ter The Nortth Land Post last week The arrangement entered into with English eapitalists by the. Davidson Consolidated: Gold Mines, Limited, whereby the treasury is to be providâ€" ed with $1,125,000 during the next few months, is stated to be meeting with the approval of the shareholdérs. Judg ing from the comments heard on the ‘‘street,""‘ the offer is considered to be, Mr. Sensenbrenner, President and Mr. A. S. Mundey, Viceâ€"President, of the Spruce Falls Pulp Paper Co., Kapuskasing, and a party of directors came up for a trip on Monday to look over the work now being done on the construction of the new mill which it is expected, will be in readiness to start operation in ‘May next. Meanâ€" while contracts have been let for the cuttinge of 60,000. cords of pulpwood. The first unit of the mill, which will produce sulphite pulp, will be arrangâ€" ed for steam power, and when during the next season the work on the power dam will be completed, a ground pulp mill will be added, and in time it is the intention to bring the completion of the mill to one of the largest capâ€" acity around here. The party was greatly impressed with the progress made by the contractors, who have a largze staff of men working. ‘Mr. Senâ€" senbrenner and several of his party stopped over on Tuesday night on their return to Cochrane and left the following day for a visit to the Calder Pulp and Paper Co.‘s plant at Burt, in which they are interested."
