Unfortunately Some Errors and Omissions Under the auspices of the Ontario Government "The Northern Ontario Ready Reference‘"‘ booklet has been isâ€" sued as a part of the British Empire Series. This British Empire Series is designed as an economic factor in the scheme of intercommunication. The Heaton Compilation System, Toronto, publish the British Empire Series. As reason for the series the publishers give the following four axioms:â€" 1â€"When interest has been aroused in any country there is an immediate demand for an upâ€"toâ€"date standard reference booklet, covering concisely Colonization, Natural Resources, Inâ€" dustrial Opportunities, Sport and Travel â€"the whole field, for each feature has a bearing upon the rest. This is wanâ€" ted in Libraries, Chambers of Comâ€" merce, Clubs and Schools, at Exhibiâ€" tions and by every class of information hunter, including tourists. 2â€"To waste time, money, distributâ€" ing agencies and the demand for inâ€" formation with inadequate material is a disâ€"service to Empire development; 3â€"If people are to know what to ask for, two things are necessary: first, adeâ€" quate reference booklets for Provinces, states and Dominions in a uniform standard series; and secondly, direcâ€" tions in these booklets how to obtain such departmental reports, synopses and lists as may be available. 4â€"In concise language there is only one best way to tell a truth. Once properly prepared with illustrations and good maps, information is improved and revised year after year; uniform provincial information can be reprinted in a Dominion book. The Northern Ontario Ready Referâ€" ence book is well printed on good paper with an attractive cover in brown and gold, and carrying the Ontario coat of arms. It has received a number of very filattering references in the newsâ€" papers of the North Land, most of whom apparently did not gives the booklet more than a cursory glance. The Advance has glanced over the little volume and while admitting its usefulness, regrets that a number of errors and omissions spoil its prestige. To be truly useful a reference work like this must be absolutely correct. This booklet classes Sudbury as a city; gives the population of Schumacher as 600, when it is easily six times that figure; notes the population of Porquis Junction at 1,100, while a tenth of that figure would be closer the mark. Omits the town town of Ansonville altogether, and does not mention Connaught; the T. N. O. is credited with having a branch from Timmins to Island Falls. It may be that The Advance has hapâ€" pened upon all the slips made in the booklet, but it is unfortunate that there should be any such slips. It is to be hoped that in future issues these errors will be rectified. There are, on the other hand, many good features about this booklet. It is clear and compact and wellâ€"arranged and contains a mass of useful informâ€" ation. Historical notes, population, nationalities, climate, hunting, fishing, travel and resorts, agriculture, fisheries, forests and woods, fur farming, mining, waterpowers, descriptions of cities, towns and villages, and land settlement, with complete descriptions of agriculâ€" tural districts are among the matters covered. The maps include a map of Canada, a skeleton map of the Province a map of the Ferguson Highway and the Government Railway, a doubleâ€" page map of Northern Ontario and a map showing the resources of the North Land. Special features are treated with illustrated pages. Any news items for the Porcupine Advance during the next two weeks may be phoned to phoms 34, South Porcupine. A department of the booklet that may be given unqualified praise is the feature, "Where to Find it." Here reâ€" ferences are given to Government reâ€" ports and reliable authorities for comâ€" plete information on scores of subjects Quite a uumber from here were guests at the luncheon bridge given by Mrs. (Dr.) Day at Connaught last Satâ€" urday. Mrs. T. Lang won first prize and Mrs. 8. Sky, second. The afterâ€" noon was very cleverly planned for the enjoyment of all. Amonster carnival is being held in the skating rink on Friday evening, March 8th. Porcupine Goldfields band will be in attendance. There will be prizes for ladies‘ and gentlemen‘s comic costumes, also ladies‘ and gentlemen‘s fancy costumes. A special feature will be the hockey players‘ puckâ€"carrying race, open only to members of the Porcupine Hockey Club. The puck will be placed on the ice a short distance from where the skater starts. He will be timed from the time he gets the puck until he circles the rink and brings it back to where he started from.

POWER PAPER Financial Report for Year Indicates Earnings from Operations to be $7,280,936 for Year. Despatches from Montreal this week indicate that for the year ended Decâ€" ember 31, 1928, the financial statement of the Abitibi Power and Paper Comâ€" pany Limited, shows earnings from operations at $7,380,936. Comparisons with statements of previous years are necessarily inadequate, owing to the fact that January, 1928, the company acquired through exchange of stocks the ownership of Spanish River and other companies, so that last year reâ€" presents the first year of operations of the amaigamated companies. There is also to be considered the chaotic conâ€" dition of the newsprint industry, esâ€" pecially during the last half of the year Operating profits for the year, after income tax, amounted to $7,380,936, as compared with $4,213,489 in the preâ€" ceding year. Deduction of interest at $2,818,108 and depreciation at $1,716,â€" 814, left net profit for the year of $2,â€" 846.,041, as compared with $2,904,574 in 1927. Preferred dividends paid amountâ€" ed to $1,529,325, leaving a balance of $1,316,716. Payment of common dividends at $2,255,416, plus $179,436 common diviâ€" dends on shares of subsidiary comâ€" panies cutstanding but since redeemed, left an apparent adverse balance on the year‘s operations of $1,118,136. It is shown, however, that the balance at credit of surplus as at December 31, 1927, was $59,719,007, which included undistributed profits of companies now consolidated of $16,801,767 with the adâ€" dition of $544,520 for surplus arising from adjustment of logs inventory, there is a profit and loss balance in the current report of $59,145,391. Working capital position shows an excess of current assets over current liabilities of $12,097,188. The working capital of the old company at the end of the previous year was $3,761,489. "The year 1928 was one of. serious overproduction in the newsprint indusâ€" try, accompanied by destructive comâ€" petition, unwarranted price cutting, and a general condition of demoralizaâ€" tion, which culminated in the last hali of the year in price quotations so low as to threaten the welfare of pubâ€" lisher and manufacturer alike. The company‘s production was less than 64 percent. of its capacity, and net reâ€" ceipts for paper bore no relation to current contract, prices. Under the leadership of the Premiers of Ontario and Quebec, a serious programme of stabilization is now under way with excellent prospects of success. With the stimulus of low prices, consumpâ€" tion of newsprint paper is increasing, and your directors look to the future with complete confidence in your comâ€" pany‘s ability to meet all competitive conditions that may arise. In his remarks to shareholders, President Alexander Smith says in part from agricultural data to uses of woods, from education to honey and from camps and canoe trips to highways, copper, hospitals and sawmills. Most of the directions under "Where to Find it" are to Government booklets or reâ€" ports. Much of the information used in the booklet was gathered from Government sources and so in most instances may be taken as authentic. As a sample of the comprehensiveness with which topics are treated reference may be made to the paragraphs on mining. In regard to the dates and localities of the first commercial workings of the chief mineral deposits in Northern Ontario, the booket gives the following:â€"Copâ€" per, 1846, Bruce Mines; Cobalt, 1904, Cobalt; Gold, 1908â€"9, Porcupine; 1912, Kirkland Lake; 1925, Red Lake; Iron, 1899, Helen Mines; Nickel, 1886, Sudâ€" bury; Silver, 1869, Silver Islet; Silver, 1903â€"4, Cobalt. "Prior to 1908," the booklet says, "gold was found and worked at many points from Lake of the Woods to Hastings District. The first permanent gold discovery was made in 1908 on the northeast shore of Porcupine Lake. The great rush came in 1909. The Hollinger, MceIntyre and Dome Mines were all discovered within a few days of each other." Probably the "Northern Ontario Ready Reference" book will prove of great benefit just as it is, with the minor mistakes referred to, but of course it would be much more valuable if it were absolutely accurate. It might be well to have someone acquainted fully with the North run carefully through the booklet, making the necessary correcâ€" tions. Perhaps, the Northern Ontario Associated Boards might do this for the good of the country, if asked to do so. The future editions of the book could be corrected, and the present issue might carry an "errata" slip, calling attention to the necessary corrections. Land settlement and liwing condiâ€" tions are fully dealt with by the bookâ€" let. Crown Lands regulations are‘reâ€" viewed, assistance to settlers mentioned, and a list of distances from Toronto to the various towns of the North are given. Education, social welfare, and other features are touched upon. Specâ€" ial space is given to the land available for settlement in each district. In Cochrane district the list shows 48 townships open for settlement in whole or part. In none of them is it indiâ€" cated that free grant lands can be obâ€" tained at date of publication. The Matheson Agency of the Crown Lands Dept. is given, with J. A. Hough, Mathâ€" eson, as agent, and the following townâ€" ships opened in whole or in part for settlement: â€" Beatty, Benoit, Bond, Bowman, Calvert, Carr, Clergue, Currie, Dundonald, Evelyn, German, Hislop, Matheson, McCart, Mountjoy, Playfair, Stock, Taylor, Walker.
