NEW LISKEARD NOW HAS A FINE NEW POST OFFICHE New Liskeard is now using its new post office Building and Timmins is still using a structure that reminds an old lumberjack of a ‘*ram pasture‘‘ that used to be on one of the Booth limits. Yet, after all, Liskeard in not so much ahead of Timmins in the matter, for The Speaker last week Saye :â€" "Well, the fact is, New Laiskeard has a fine, commeodious brick post office which was built; by one of our citizens, and nct by the Government, although we were promised a Govetnâ€" ment. post office eighteen years ago, and several times subsequently."" everything off Girlsâ€"*‘‘Yes, 6 they brought out tree, By reason of the pulp demand of these two companies, as well as that of the Abitibt Power and Paper Co., the settlers along the Northern Transâ€" continental line of the C. N. R. and along the T. N. 0. Railway will also have the benefit of a market for their pulpwood. The Ontario Government According to despatches from Cochrane last week the pulpwood situation will be much better this year for the settlers along the T. N. 0. Railway, and the improved conâ€" dition is due to the interest taken by the (Government in the matter. One of these despatches says that about 60,000 cords of pulpwood will be taken out ‘thus winter by the Spruce Falls Co., operating at Kapuskasing. Alâ€" most an equal amount will be taken out of the Mattagami Pulp Co., operâ€" atinge on the Mattagami River. OF PULP T0 HELP SHTTLERG TXIS WINTER Pulp Companiss Along T. N. O.

The following are given as illusâ€" trations in the statement handed out last evening the rates being applicâ€" able from any port in the United Kingdom : A statement in the matter was handed out, last week. Acomparison between ‘the regular rates from ports in the United I\mgdom with the rates available to Empire Settlement passâ€" engers shows remarkable reductions. Last week The Advance referred to the new Empire Settlement agreeâ€" ment which was heralded as offering ‘"to agrieulturalists and houseâ€" workâ€" emns from ‘the United I\quom transâ€" portation to destination in Canada at a lower rate than has been known for a generation.‘‘ The agreement was concluded last Monday, but full deâ€" tails were not available to the press until later. is Offers Inducements to Farmers and to Prospective Domesâ€" tics.

They were credited with $4,250.00 in fines Eight women were required to pay $500.00 each and costs and one man was fined $250.00 and costs for breach of the 0. T. A. The Christmas spirit figures in this, someâ€" where, It looks like a sad case, and even at the risk of incurring the displeasâ€" ure of The North Bay Nugget, The Advance would suggest that affairs are much* better in Timmins. The Mayor here is no figurehead. Ten men and seven women could. not keep him from expressing an opinion if he felt the needs warranted. And he is ready to work for the town as well as talk for the town. Possibly if the people abused the mayor of Montreal a little more he might feel some better. Anyway, it is a hard old world if a fellow does not do a lot of laughing. In municipal affairs the difference is still more marked. They have a Mayor in Montreal who doesn‘t want to run again. To the Men‘s Club of St. James the Apostle Mayor Duquâ€" ette recently described what he conâ€" sidered to be the tragedy of the mayâ€" or of the greatest city in Canada, with power to preside, but powerless to voice an opinion: with authority over none but a secretary and a stenâ€" ographer,â€"in short, he says, the mayâ€" or of Montreal is a social necessity but an administrative figurehead. There are many differences between Montreal and Timmins. The air up here is dry, and so are the people usually. It is different in Montreal. Montreal has more snow, more wind, more ‘cold and more excitement, more holdâ€"ups and more throwâ€"downs, not to mention more handâ€"meâ€"downs and more pickâ€"meâ€"ups. ANOTHER DIFFERENCE â€" _ RE MONTREAL AND TIMMINS It is now upwards of three years since the first Empire Settlement agreement was entered into between Canada and the Mother Country for the purpose of encouraging British immigration. The first agreement was followed ‘by others more favorâ€" able in the way of paissage loans, but the Department, â€" according to the statement, regards the compleâ€" tion of the present agreement as the most important step yet taken towards encouraging the transfer from Great Britain to Canada of British stock. "‘"It will do away with the high cost of collection of passage loans and consequent loss in cases of failure to collect."" "It will virtually mear the aboliâ€" tion of passage loans. While such loans will still be available to heads of families and under certain cirâ€" cumstances to â€" houseworkers, they will not be available to other classâ€" egs."" gardless of the destination of the immigrant, but the larger part to be contributed by the Dominion unâ€" der the new agreement is in regard to the afterâ€"care of the immigrant for a period of five years, which cost is shared entirely by Canada without any tax upon the British (Government,‘‘ it is stated. The Department of Immigration expresses the belief that the new agreement will have the following results : ‘*Canada‘s share in the cost of emigrants under the Empire Settieâ€" ment scheme remains unchanged reâ€" ABOLISHES PASSAGE LOANXS There will be nothing finer this year than the attractive Christmas Wrapped Bachelor Packeges in both 10‘s and 25‘s.
