Mr. Chas. V,. Gallagher, the Liberal Candidate in this riding, has been busy in other parts of the riding to date, especially along the Transconâ€" tinental, and no public meetings have been held in this immediate vicinity in his interest,. A big meeting has been planned at Timmins for this evening (Thursday) in the New Emâ€" pire Theatre. In addition to the canâ€" didate, Mr. Chas. V. Gallagher, many outside speakers will deliver addressâ€" es, and the meeting is expected to be a very important one. On the posters advertising the event a hearty invitaâ€" tion is extended to all electors to atâ€" tend this meeting and hear the issues of the election discussed. Other meetâ€" ings are planned for Timmins and neichbouring towns in the next week. MEETING IN INTERESTS OF G. V. GALLAGHER TONIGHT Many Outside Speakers and Candidate at New Empire Theatre This Thus far the main effort of its manageâ€" ment has been to get more businessâ€" freight and passengerâ€"for the C.N.R. by taking it away from the C.P.R. By that method, the cost of securing business is greatly increased for both systems, with no real advantage to either. They are merely fighting over the division of a loaf, which isn‘t large enough to provide susâ€" tenance for both. If our foresight had been as good as our hindsight, we would never have built the excessive railway ‘plant we have today. But what is done cannot be undone. There is no use crying over spilt milk. The problem now is to chart for ourselves the course that will most quickly and most surely place the Canadian National Railâ€" ways on a paying basis. VOTE CONSERVATIVE The only way our railway problem will ever be solved is for the voters of Canada to see to it that our railways are given a bigger loaf to divideâ€"a loaf of freight and passenger traffic that will be large enough for both systems to thrive on. How to increase freight trafficâ€"that is the kernel of our problem! The average Canadian freight train earns $5.00 per mile travelled ; the average passenger train earns only $2.00. So it‘s upon the freight end of the business that we must concentrate. Of course, some kinds of freight are more profitable than others. There is very little margin of profit in carrying grain, first because the rates applicable to it are lower A Loaf Big Enough for Two MAKING OUR RAILWAYS PAY We Have the Acorn, We Must Grow the Oak ‘"*‘Tis a story that Finnegan died, and when he greeted St. Peter, he said, ‘It‘s a fine job you‘ve had here for a long time,‘ *‘Well, Finnegan,‘ satd St. Peter, ‘here we count o milâ€" lion years as a minute and a million dollars as a cent.‘ ‘Ah!‘ said Finneâ€" gan, ‘I‘m needing cash. Lend me a cent.‘ ‘Sure,‘ said St. Peter, ‘just wait a minute.‘ ‘‘ Mr. and Mrs. L. Silver entertained a number of friends on Wednesday evening of last week at their resiâ€" dence, Elm Street South, the event being in honour of their son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Saul Silver, who were married some weeks ago in Toronto, and who spent a week here during their wedding tour. There were about eighty guests present, and a very delightful evening was enâ€" joyed by all. A dainty luncheon was served during the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Saul Silver were the recipients of innumerable good wishes and many beautiful and costly presents. _ Mr. and Mrs. Saul Silver will take up residence at Iroquois Falls in the earâ€" ly spring. MR. AND MRS. L. SILVER ENTERTAIN FRIENDS. GHER TARIFF AND FOR LOWER TAXATION sure wayâ€"the only wayâ€"that our perplexing railway problem can ever be solved. Lower duties throw people out of work. They just as surely throw railways out of work. We can never save our railways by giving them less work. We must use our brains and our courage to secure them more workâ€"better paid work! Higher tariffs will do it. Temporarily our Canadian National Railway system is in a hole. To deny the fact would be rank untruthfulness, to belittle its importance would be sheer folly. ' But this huge public ownership enterpnse CAN and MUST be pulled out of the hole, and it‘s up to the men and women voters of Canada to do it‘ Increase our populationâ€"start a big immigration movementâ€"and the rest will follow as a matter of course! Easier said than done? Not at all!l All we have to do to start the tide of immigration flowing through our ports is to hold out to the prospective immigrant the assurance of a steady job at good wages, or the chance to engage profitably in farmmg or some other form of production or service. A higher tariff, that will be a real Proâ€" tective Tariff, will give him a guarantee covering every point. And nothing else under Providence will! A Tariff policy that allows the Canadian market to be supplied more and more by outside workers, automatically operates to reduce the freight traffic available for our railways. When for instance, due to insufficient tariff protection, the Libbeyâ€" Owens glass factory in Hamilton was forced to surrender the Canadian field to its sister plant in Belgium, Canadian railways lost the hauling of 2,000 carloads of raw material per year! per ton per mile than the rates on any other commodity, and second because the grain movement is a peakload traffic, calling for an enormous investment in cars that are idle the greater part of the year: But there is a substantial margin of profit in hauling general merchandise. What can we do to ensure our railways getting more of it? Higher Tariff the Cure A Lower Tariff is Poison If Canadian cotton and woollen mills only had the making of the textiles that "When this sort of illegal transâ€" portation of game killed illegally is carried an boldly, it is easy to figure how much breaking of the law there is carried on more slyly,""‘ said Mr. Richardson. Reference was made by Mr. Richardson to the amount of game taken out of season. Unless there is a change, he argued, there will be no game left in this country in five years or so. Mr. W. F. Richardson, of Wawaiâ€" tiny was in Timmins last week, and in an interview with The Advance emphaâ€" sized the need for better enforcement of the game laws, ‘*‘The Rod and Gun Club should get busy"‘‘ he said, * _ and if they do, I will give them every assistance I can.‘"‘ Mr,. Ricâ€" hardson said that when he came down the river last week there was a leg of moose being carried on the boat he happened to travel upon. Mr\: W. F.

The new date chosen is Sunday, ,Oct. 25th. The special preacher for the occasion will be Reyv. Mr. Brown of the Annmette Baptist Church, Toronto. Special services with special music and other features will be held on Sunday at the usual service hours.

The necesâ€" sary traffic is there. All we have to do is reach out and get it! Every time that, low duties take away a portion of the domestic market from a Canadian industry and give it to a foreign industry, our railways suffer in four ways. i. They lose the hauling of the raw material that such industry would have used. we import every year, our railways would have the hauling of another 50,000 carloads per year of raw material freight.

When it results in the Western Canaâ€" dian market being supplied from a U.S. factory, they lose the long East and West haul, and get only the short haul from the international boundary. They lose the hauling of all the merâ€" chandise that would have been conâ€" sumed by the workers who, due to the resultant unemployment, emigrate to the United States. up ANOTHER DRUG STORE BROKEN INTO AGAIN. Another drug store burglary was reported to the police this week, the Goldfield Drug Co. store being enâ€" tered and a quantity of liquor stolen therefrom. Entry was made by way of the adjoining store of V. M. Bowi Co. The back door of the latter store was foreed, and the burglar or burglars tore down som®e pipes and used the holes cut in connection with the heating system to effect entrance into the cellar which runs under both stores. _ From the cellar similar means were used to get into the drug store. Nothing was taken from the clothing store, but the drug store lost several gallons of good liquor, the liâ€" quor evidently being the purpose of the robbery, as in the case of other drug stores entered recently. / ‘‘I suppose you carry a memento of some sort in that locket of yours?‘ ‘*Yes, it is a lock of my husband‘s hair."‘‘ ‘*‘But your husband is still alive?"‘ ‘‘Yes, but his hair is gone."‘ But thougn many could have comâ€" fortably used the $25.00 and the velâ€" our hat, Mr. Raffles escaped without capture, both Saturday and Monday. In the meantime he had heaps of fun, and was of the kind that enjoyed all the humour of the situation. He was faithfully at all the places designated and often discussed the matter of Mr, Raffles. Never once, though, was he apparently even suspected. ""I‘m going up to meet the 11.30 train,‘‘ he told one young lady, ‘*better come aâ€" long and see if you can capture the Mysterious Mr. Raffles.‘‘ The young lady laughed and said she wouldn‘t mind taking the $25.00 and he could have the hat himself. He got the hat later, but she missed the $25.00. Anâ€" other lady was advised to suspect everybody. ‘‘Yes,"" he said, ‘‘"he might be right under you nose!‘‘ And she laughed as at a great joke. It was, but. the joke was on her ‘*Tell your sister I‘d like to see her this afternoon!‘‘ the Mysterious Mr. Raffles told one young man.‘‘ Where will she find you?‘‘ ‘‘Oh, I‘ll be on Third Avenue between 3 and 4 p.m.,"" said Mr. Raffles The young lady kept the appointment talked with Mr. Raffles, and never once suspected that a few words would bring her $25.00 in gold. Sceores of men stopped and joked with the Mysterious Mr. Raffles. Often the capture was discussed, but not a single time was Mr. Raffles challenged. Monday, he despaired of being caught and gave all sorts of hints, but no one took him seriously. The game ended, without Mr. Raffles ever once being near capture. No better man could have been selected for the work, either to carry it through eleverly, or to enjoy the fun. The Mysterious Mr. Raffles was Mr. Chas. Hall. â€" Owing to election and other interâ€" ests and counter attractions, the Arâ€" lie Marks Stock Company did not draw as good houses here last week as has been usual for this company in past seasons. The Arlie Marks Co. played here on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday â€"and Saturday, evenings and matinees, presenting a number of plays and also novelty numbers and vaudeville.

To ‘‘capture‘‘ him it was neâ€" cessary to accost him, saying *‘ You are the mysterious Mr. Raffles, and your number is 108.‘ If you said this, and produced coupons from the local stores, Mr. Raffles was required to take his captor to receive the prize.
