The Northern News of Cobalt, last week says :â€"â€" **‘The proposal to establish a public library in Cobalt deserves the wholeâ€" hearted support of the citizens of the camp. ,A board of trustees already has been qppointed and preliminary arrangements have been made to place _the institution on a firm basis. It 1g3 intended to hold a ‘‘Book Collecting Day"‘ on._June 3rd next, and the volumes which may be secured then will be used to form the nucleus of the library. In this manner the new project will, it is hoped, get away to a comparatively inexpensive start, while, at the same time, the fact that a wide variety of reading material will_be available will make an appeal ~to the residents of the community and induce them â€"to become sustaining members at the low fee which will be charged. The money which will ‘be raised locally in this manner will he supplensented by a government grant, the province® putting up dollar for dollar up to a certain stated amount. Running expenses will be small, outâ€" side of the purchase of new books, and there is no reason why the library should not be a success in this section. **Messrs Duff Bros. who have been operating a saw mill in Cane Townâ€" ship. met with a serious loss on Tuesâ€" day night, when their mill caught fire and was completely destroyed. . Canuse of the fire is unknown, and once the *flames got started nothing could he done to save the property. We unâ€" derstand the loss to the Duff Bros. will run between four and five thousâ€" and dollars. They have the sympathy of the many friends in the loss, more especially so as they were also victims of the big fire of 1922."‘ ‘*It has been an ironic feature of life in this camp that its people have denied themselves many of the culturâ€" al benefits because of what now is known to have been the mistaken imâ€" pression that Cobalt would have but a transitory existence. This attitude arose not from lack of faith so much as a belief, based on experience in other camps, that the field soon would be worked out and that its inhabiâ€" tants, by reason of their vocations, would remove to other parts of the eountry. But many of her people have lived in Cobalt for fifteen years and more, and it is only within reâ€" cent years that some of them have beâ€" come seized with the idea that here, indeed, was home, and that the place of their abode should be made a real town, and not merely a sort of gloriâ€" station on the railway of life. The opportunity. to still further imâ€" prove their surroundings is now preâ€" sented in this public library scheme, and it is commended to their enthusiâ€" astic attention.‘‘ week says:â€" CANE TOWNSHIP MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE PROSPECTS GOOD FOR THE PROVINCE THIS YEAR The monthly letter issued by the Bank of Montreal treats of prospect‘s in the Province of Ontario in its last issue as follows:â€"â€" PROPOSE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR TOWN OF COBALT ‘‘Wholesale houses are enjoying a slightly improved volume of trade compared with last year.

Peterson, publisher of The Farm and Ranch Review, of Calgary, Alberta, has ‘been writing striking articles on the various problems at present burâ€" dening Canada. He quotes Canada‘s key probléem as ‘‘the need for a unâ€" animous and vigilant public demand for a comprehensive and construeâ€" tive national colonization â€" policy.‘‘ He has given special study to the questions involved, spending «+some time in Europe as well as visiting various parts of Canada, and whether at home or abroad, giving time and thought and attention always to Caâ€" nada‘s probletms of toâ€"day. It is to be much regretted that his able articles are not reproduced in every newsâ€" paper in Canada. They might rouse the people to a realization of the situâ€" ation and the absolute need for the right remedy. Onee upon a time (Governments led, but to:day they are more inclined to follow public opinâ€" ion. There has been much desultory thinking on Canada‘s problem, but too: little comprehensive study. Mr. Peterson has found that practically every problem facing Canada toâ€"day would be solved by a proper colonizaâ€" tion policy. His idea is to secure such a general interest and attention among the people in general that the Governments will (beâ€" compelled to face the situation fairly and fully, to Canada‘s advantage. Mr. Peterson‘s latest letter to The Advance deals with “Frelght Rates and Populaâ€" tion,"‘‘ and is as follows:â€"â€" ‘*‘Canada has 40,261 miles of railâ€" ways to serve a pitiful 9 million peoâ€" ple. In 1900 we had only 17,6507 miles of railway. _ This ‘enormous railway expansion programme, . was based on the confident expectation that the stream of immigration would continue unabated, or even at a greatâ€" er rate than prevailed during the earliâ€" er years of the present century. In this we have been woefully disapâ€" pointed. The peak year was 1913 Canada‘s Transportation _A Problem and It‘s Solution ‘*No country in the world depends so abjectly and completely upon the highest degree of efficiency in transâ€" portatmn as Canada does.

To be exact, one mile for every 224 inhabitants, compared with 400 in the United States and 2,000 in Great Britain. This is very impressive; also very exâ€" pensive. Our transportation plant is apparently about twice as large as it ought to be. But it will be needed one of these days, so we cannot proâ€" fitably serap any considerable part of it. The rational remedy seems to be to speedily augment our population to the point where it will keep our enormous railway plant busy twentyâ€" four hours a day and every day of the week. _ when nearly half a million people entered Canada. Since then we have not received oneâ€"fifth of this volume of new settlers, while the outward flow of population has been on a scale that might well give rise to serious reflection. ‘*«One of our great railway systems is now making earnings adequate to maintain its position. The other shows a huge deficit annually; but, being nationally owned, this ‘deficit has hitherto been covered out of genâ€" eral taxation. There is, of course, only a limited maximum volume of traffic available in Canada, which is at present almost : equally divided, with the above result. If, through aggressive methods, the National lines succeeded in diverting further traffic from its competitor, and thus subâ€" stantially reduced its own deficit, the Canadian Pacific would undoubtedly also be faced with a deficit, through decreased tonnage, which could never be met out of Federal revenue. "Such a threatened disaster would at once be averted by an order of the Railway Board . increasing freight rates all along the line, as has re« peatedly been done in the United States under similar conditions. Caâ€" nada now enjoys the lowest freight ‘‘Railway transportation is a pubâ€" lic utility, controlled in Canada by a Board of Railway Commissioners. It is the duty of that judicial body, after exhaustive investigation, to so adjust rates, that the cheapest posâ€" sible services are extended to the pubâ€" lic consistent with a reasonable net return to the railways on capital inâ€" vested. Economies in operation, due to increased tonnage, or to any other favourable cause, â€" are_ therefore, speedily reflecte« in low rates or imâ€" proved services. The Canadian pubâ€" lic is thus in intimate business partâ€" nership with all its railway systems, whether privately, corporately or publicly owned. The impartial hand of rigid public control rests upon them all, equally and effectively. But this safegudrd against excessive rates naturally creates certain unâ€" avoidable responsibilities. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. ‘‘So we canniot apparently afford to regarg our transportation problem with unconcern. Until such time as increased population more nearly balâ€" ances our railway facilities, we must pay for the present uneconomic situaâ€" tion or through increased carrying charges. Our great transportation leaders in their public utterances are unanimous in the concelusion, that, having now almost completely exâ€" hausted the possibilitres in the way of operating economies, further relief must come through a vigorous and successful national immigration poliâ€" cy. Owing to the present stagnation in population, we are evidently driftâ€" ing towards increased transportation costs, which would creat a disastrous situation all around. Every Canaâ€" diay is vitally interested in averting such a calamity.‘‘ MAKING A BIG SPLURGE IN CITY OF ST. THOMAS rates in the world‘s transportation history. Europeans look upon this ereditable achievement with envy and admiration. But our geographical handicaps render such a high stantâ€" ard of efficiency absolutely imperaâ€" tive.. But with public control of rates, we obviously must either con, cede to our railways a rate structure yielding a fair net return on capital investment, or failing that we must be prepared to pay all railway deficits through taxation. That seems to be the inevitable choice and logical conâ€" sequence of rate eontrol. The other day a member of the Timmins â€" Band said :â€" ‘*Anybody ever hear from or about our old friend, Charlie Grill?"*‘* an answer to this question comes a copy of The St. Thomas (Ont.)
