St. Petersburg was changed at Mr. Bateman said considerable difâ€" ficulty had been experienced with the Department of National Revenue in determining in certain cases the appliâ€" cation of such a provision. The result of such a provision, he stated, would be that the mining industry would be penalized. The Board took the recommendation under advisement. _ The mining business in Canada had achieved wonderful proportions, Mr. Bain declared, and the magnitude of the future development would be asâ€" tcunding. It was only in the interests of a sound national policy, he continâ€" ued, that this development should be carried on to benefit other enterprises and labour. Canadian engineering firms, Mr. Bain said, should be afforded every opportunity of supplying the needs of the mining industry in this country and thereby retain within this country young graduate engineers. Mining machinery tariff items were before the Tariff Advisory Board at Ottawa on Wednesday last week when the item came up of the revision of iron and steel schedules. John Bain for the Dominion Engineering Works, took the lead in a request that on minâ€" ing machinery coming into Canada free of duty there should be specification that this machinery must be of a kind or class not made in the Dominion. G. C. Bateman, representing the Ontario Mining Association, led in the protest against this proposal. Request Made That Duty Exemption Should Apply Only to Types Not Made in the Dominion.

Subseâ€" quently, Mr. Fasken continued his coâ€" operation in the development of power for Porcupine and Kirkland Lake. Probâ€" ably no one man did as much toward the development of the North country as Mr. Fasken. "He hundreds of friends, many of them intimate friends, and among them were the guides, trappers and prospectors of the North as well as his friends and associates in the business and professional world. I know of dozâ€" ens of men in New York who very keenly feel his passing. For myself and for all his friends and associates, I want to say that no man exceeded him in loyalty, courage, ability and generâ€" osity." a hct house instead of under natural conditions, but the psychological value of efforts to keep business at full moâ€" mentum are valuable to offset the psyâ€" chological influences of an adverse lcharacter. It is worthy of note that while a year ago Canadian bankers at the annual meetings of their instituâ€" tions were sounding notes of caution {and advising the public to keep one foot on the shore, they are now very Eoptimistic and state that the long term iadvance of Canadian prosperity will lccntim:e despite the present momenâ€" |tary set back. A year ago, our Canaâ€" dian bankers were rather unpopular with a great many people because of their pessimistic reference to the inâ€" flation of security prices, And now that bankers are optimistic the public is disinclined to believe them. But they may well be believed. The fundamenâ€" tal business situation as it is likely to be reflected in business over a term of two or three years in Canada is sounder toâ€"day than it was before the crash in security prices. BUSINESS IS SOUNDER NOW THAN BEFORE THE BREAK In any discussion of the business sitâ€" uation after the stock market crash, we should not overlook the fact that Canaâ€" dian business was showing definite signs of slowing up before the break in security prices came,~remarks The Financial Post, Torsnts. ‘Ths situation created by events in the stock market Fasken comes to me as a real sorrow. Since 1904 we were close business and personal friends. Our association in the Nipissing Mines was always of the most intimate nature and from the beâ€" ginning Mr. Fasken‘s guidance and coâ€"operation had much to do with the success of the company. The Toronto Globe last week says:â€" "E. P. Earle, President of Nipissing Mines Company, Limited, was in Toâ€" ronto yesterday attending the funeral of David Fasken. In speaking of him, Mr. Earle said: ‘"The death of Mr. is largely psychological, tending to shake public confidence in business generally. That being so, the Hoover Sunshine conferences, the anncunceâ€" ments of bankers, ‘and the railâ€" way presidents and other industrial leaders that all is well with Canada, have their value. One may question the practical value of business grown in Renfrew Mercury:â€""Of old it was said that we never miss the water till the well runs dry, and now we miss the aqua because of lowness of same in Golden Lake, Round Lake and the Bonnechere. There hasn‘t been anyâ€" thing like it "for years and years and years," so at least many people aver. There are also wells running dry, but they are out in the townships, where the well is still anecessary thing. Perâ€" haps if we had artesian wells in Renâ€" frew they would never run dry, but could not relieve the power situation. We have plenty of water to drink; that of which we are short is water for the propulsion of machinery. In these latter days the rains of heaven mean much more to us than the irrigation of land." TRIBUTE PAID TO THE LATE DAVID FASKEN, OF TORONTO "WE NEVER MISS THE WATER TILL THE WELL RUNS DRY Charles Marchand and his Habitant Tr\,ubadours who will be a special feaâ€" ture al the Charity Turkey Stag at :Tunmmo on Friday evening Dec. 20th, n their wonderful programme of French and English shanty songs, have delighted all audiences before whom they have appeared. Speaking of this able musical group The Oitawa Citizen some months ago said:â€"‘"During the morning and afternoon the Troubaâ€" dours sang in the Chateau Frontenac to an admiring throng who followed them wherever they went. But it was at the evening concert that these singâ€" ers achieved their great success. sang the old folk songs with a correct atmosophere and also with much artisâ€" try. Their efforts were received with a furore of applause." . DELIGHTED WITH MARCHAND AND HABITANT TROUBADOURS Mr. Montgomery said he found a few bush caribou in the river valleys, but otherwise little sign of animal life. Some spruce grouse were encountered and, well into the interior, ptarmigan in considerable numbers were met. Trout streams are abundant, and it was a common thing to secure speckled trout up to three and four pounds. The climate proved wet and foggy, and on two days only in two months no rain fell. Lots of ice was encountered on the outward trip, and thousands of seals were seen. Mtr. Gossip in The Daily Sketci:â€" I was interested to find in th: msâ€" moir of the late Lord Camnichsel of Stirling that when he grew ili Lady Carmichael taught him varicus forms of tapestry work in wool and silk. M« John Buchan says this proved to be a great source of relaxation, for he would sometimes say, "I am rath>r tired. I think I will do a little of my work." But some men who are quite fi} are great hands at this sort of work. I know a distinguished professor of Greek who knits woollen waistcoats. WOLF DRAGGED TRAP FOR OVER TWENTYâ€"SEVEN MILES in which it was intended to prospect, Mr. Montgomery said, and the map he did obtain was by no means upâ€"toâ€" date and did not show many of the physical features of the district, alâ€" though he was in Newfoundland terriâ€" tory throughout. The country itself was quite barren, the prospector said. What timber had been there had been burnt over, he said. Indians who forâ€" merly had lived in the interior had moved out to the coast, but there was some trapping carried on at different points. It was impossible to secure in St. John‘s a reliable map of the country (From The New Liskeard Speaker) Two weeks ago we offered some sugâ€" gesticom concerning organization ts destroy wolves. Several hunters thought cur views were right, and on> of them sriid he intended to have a wolfâ€"nunt during the winter. Mr., Montgomery left this country last May, proceeding to St. John‘s, Newâ€" {cundland. In that city a delay of ten days took place, until a boat could be secured. Finally, the party got pasâ€" sage on the "Ungava," a Hudson‘s Bay ship chartered to convey fishermen to their summer stations in Labrador. There wcere 1100 of these men on the ship and to Mr. Montgomery‘s northern cars the Newfoundland accent and diaâ€" lect proved rather puzzling. His party landed at Rigolette, and proceeded some distance up river in a Hudson‘s Bay schconer. The rest of the trip was made by canoe and on foot. From St. John‘s to Rigolette, via Hamilton Inlet, took 17 days. The return trip was made in the govemment steamer "Kyle." However, another oldâ€"time backâ€" woodsman who is also a deerâ€"hunter, told us that in his opinion the potâ€" hunter killed more than the woives did. He gave us some figures wlaic}i were surprising to us. If his cpinitcn is correct then both the pctâ€"hunter and the wolf should be trapped. The ~ Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. had two separate parties working through the country, Mr. Montgomery said, and two other groups including the one to which he was atâ€" tached, were there for private syndiâ€" cates. One Toronto party, headed by Ken McFadyen, formerly of the Amuâ€" let, flew into the country, but the others followed the sea route by way of St. John‘s and the Labrador coast. One of the parties had worked the Seal Lake district, but Mr. Montgomery himself went in some 300 miles from tidewater, and while proceeding up the Nascaupee river encountered 30 portages in 75 miles. For the information of those who think the wolf is not doing much damâ€" age, we give the following itom fron the Daily Star of the 28th: Caught by the leg in the trap in Alâ€" Park a huge wolf, known, to have slain more than a score of deer, gnawed twice throuzh the fourâ€"inch pole which held the trap and drazzed trap and part of the pole 27 miles through bush and rocky country beâ€" fore he died. In discussing the trip Mr. Mont_ gomery says that while he had seen signs of mineralization in the country he had traversed, nothing of interest had been discovered during the sumâ€" mer. and as evidence of the interest being shown in Labrador, said that four different prospecting parties had been in that territory while he was here. Fark assistants folowed the bl. marked tratl. When they found wolf dead, he had rid himself of pole, but the trap still gripped his Recently Thos. Montgomery and his son, Tom, returned to New Liskeard from a trip that occupied the summer months in Labrador. They visited secâ€" tions of Labrador where previously no prospecting had been done, so far as known. Since his return, Mr. Montâ€" gomery has given some of his experâ€" iences to the newspapers and this makes interesting and helpful informâ€" ation. Pn the interior of the country progress was necessarily very slow, he says, on account of the numerous por._ tages that had to be negotiated. They were away about six months, some of this time being wasted, in their opinion, in waiting at St. Johns, Newfoundland, for a boat to take them north to their landing place. NEW LISKEARD PROSPECTOR RETURNS FROM Thos. Montgomery Home Again After Several Months Spent in Prosâ€" pecting Trip in the Labrador Country. But in even more instances, whers people were not entirely wiped out, they saw their profit margins lost and their working capital seriously eaten into. The money that would have orâ€" dinarily gone into automobiles, more expensive radios, into travel, into new homes, into a hundred things that can be done without, is gone. Canadians were largely engaged in United States market cperations and a greater number of them lost heavily If market authorities can be accepted more than $100,000,000,000 have been shorn from stock values in the succesâ€" sion of panics at New York. If that be true it can be estimated that the dozens of other exchanges throughout the continent have in the aggregate witnessed reverses of almost corresâ€" ponding volume. In countless thousâ€" ands of cases people who were rich in September were in debt in November. QObviously the great descent of prices must be reflected in next year‘s income tax returns. Quite as obviously it must exercise a great influence upon public demand for luxuries and for many of those items which were short time ago regarded as luxuries, but are now generally considered necessities of lifa. How great will be (the depression of public revenues and how severe the inâ€" dustrial reaction and consequent reaucâ€" tion in employment, are the problems which ministers and officials are atâ€" tempting to solve in advance. Despatches from Ottawa say that offcials concerned with Government revenues as well as those of the Trad» and Commerce and Labour departâ€" ments are keenly concerned as to the fruits of October and November colâ€" lapse of stock market values.

At Sudbury police court last week as the aftermath of a fire in that towmn some days ago Adolphe Mauro appearâ€" ed on a charge of arson. He elected trial by judge and at his preliminary hearing was committed for trial,. Givâ€" ing evidence, Sam Ferro, at whose house the fire was, stated that he had been aroused about three o‘clock in the morning by a neighbour who told him that his house was on fire. He stated that he had telephoned the fire departâ€" ment and that when firemen and police officers arrived they had examined tracks in the snow. These tracks led to. the residence of the accused and fitted tracks made by the accused‘s shoes. Ferro stated that he knew of no reason for the alleged crime unless Mauro was seeking revenge for an inâ€" cident which happened some years ago at Kapuskasing â€"when the accused came off second best in an argument about a girl.
