JACKSON COMPANY STOCKS â€" BONDS SMOKY FALLS GREETING THE ARRIVAL OF THE FALL The Smoky Falls correspondent of The Northern Tribune writes last week as follows:â€" "Construction of the new unit of the powerhouse is progressive, fast, furious and noisy. Bedliam is about the only word that describes the powerhouse just now. With rivetting guns rattling the only way to hold conversations is with the hands in the same way as the mutes do. It‘s great exercise for the vocal chords and a wonderful opporâ€" tunity to become proficient in the art of lipâ€"reading. "In spite of a vast amount of optimâ€" ism we are forced to admit that fall is here and another summer has gone. Evidence is overwhelming. Looking across the river, we set the green splashed with masses of red and yellow. The gardeners are harvesting their vegetables, new perennial borders are being prepared, lawns remade or reâ€" novated, bulb catalogs have arrived and bulbs are ordered. Piles of wood are being savagely attacked and stored. The fall and winter catalogues from the mailâ€"order houses are very much in evidence at night and womenfolk are busy checking over all serviceable clothing left over from last winter. "Most of our summer birds have gone and others are gathering together in large numbers and holding openâ€"air meetingsâ€"discussing, we presume, probâ€" able dates for leaving to winter in Florida. The flower borders are beâ€" draggled, foliage thin and yellow. The sweet peas, asters, carnations, snapâ€" dragon, violas, oriental poppies, mariâ€" golds and golden glow are bravely strivâ€" ing to keep some colour in our gardens to the end. "Over in the single men‘s quarters the young men‘s thoughts have turned to riflies, traps and moose and duck. We see catalogues around open at the pages for rifles and ammunitiqQn. Raâ€" dios and stoves are in operation. The field mice are invading our homes, and traps are busy. The mornings Are crisp, the river covered with vapour, the air heavy with wood smoke. The most confirmed optimist must admit Saturday and Monday, October lith and 13th A representative from Lowndes, makers of the famous 20th Century apparel for men, for whom we are agents, will be here on The object of this visit is to give our patrons the opportunity of seeing a full upâ€"toâ€"theâ€" minute range of Lowndes samples and models, too extensive for any retail store to carry. You will then have the widest possible choice from which to order madeâ€"toâ€"meaâ€" sure suits and coats for immediate or future delivery, if you so desire.

Phone 100â€"101 Timmins, Ont. FROM COGHRANE TO HEARSI AND THEN WEST TO NIPIGON Logical Present Route for the Transâ€" Canada MHighway. Agitation â€" for This Route Should be Continuâ€" ed by the North Land During the past,. few months The NMorthern Tribune of Kapuskasing has given a large amount of space to disâ€" cussion of the route for the proposed Transâ€"Canada highway. In view of the importance of the matter to the North Land the space thus taken has been profitably used from the standâ€" point of advantage to the North. In the last issue of The Northern Tribune there was another extended editoria: reference to Transâ€"Canada highway questions. This editorial is given hereâ€" with as follows:â€"â€" with as "If Premier Bennett‘s cabinet would show anything like the same Ccourage | in settling the route of the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway that it showed in sum.â€" moning Parliament, grappling with unâ€" employment, and altering the tariff root stem and branch, it would gain in estimation and assure its own poliâ€" tical wellâ€"being in future years. In the midst of a clamour of local imporâ€" tunities to bend the highway this way and thst, the safest course is to run the straight line, "let the chips fall where they may." The route from Quebec City to Winnipeg offers a wonâ€" derful diversity of scenery that would satisfy any tourist: it would offer the security and convenience of contiguiâ€" ty to a transcontinental railway line; it would be used all the year round by Canadian citizens as well as by tourists; every mile of it would be materially benefitted from being a link in the na tional highway; urban and rural popuâ€" ’lation would be greatly augmented throughout its length. It would be a priceless unit in national defence if ever so required. "A Northern contemporary suggests that politics may affect the location of this highway in Ontario. There was never any doubt on that score, because Fort William and Sault Ste. Marie in particular have left no political wire unpulled to gain their ends. Hon. James Lyons recently told a meeting at the Soo that "with regard to political influence in connection with locating the highway, the cities and town furâ€" thering the Lake Superior road have not anything to worry about," and he went on to boast of the results of a "personal survey‘" of both political and federal members from the North. His listing simply shows that the members residing close to the suggested Lake winter will soon be here. However, he can console himself with the thought that winter has its pleasures, and preâ€" pare for them." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Sujlerior route naturally favour that route, as they must do, while others are opposed for similar reasons,. The lakeâ€"head cities and the Soo admittedâ€". ly command far more influence than the towns along the suggested claybelt route, but that does not say that their cause is any better on that account. If the arguments in their favour were as strong as their influence and as potent as their peculiar political methods, the provincial and federal gevernments would not have hesitated week after week to announce a decision as to the route chosen. Premier Ferâ€" guson has plainly said that the choice of route is a federal matter (with which we agree), while the Ottawa ministers have just as plainly said that Ontario has the say. "Announcement has just been made that an estimated total of about $5,â€" 000,000 will be allocated to Ontario from the $20,000,000 emergency vote put through Parliament last month. Out of this amount the Transâ€"Canada project will draw perhaps $1,000,000, which was our estimate some time ago. Word comes from Toronto that two sections of road will be started at oncs, as to which there has been no disprite regarding their need. These are from Pembroke to North Bay and from Fort William to Kenora. Whether they beâ€" come a part of the Transâ€"Canada highway,, or remain part of it when the national project is completed from coast to coast, does not alter the fact that there is every justification for their construction now. No advocate of the clay belt route would deny their value, on the basis of the communities they will serve. "We are not disposed, however, to have our own claims set aside on that account. The road runs straight from Cochrane to Hearst, and should be carâ€" ried on straight to the head of Lake Nipigon. On the one hand, it is unâ€" thinkable that this important highway shcould be left standing abruptly against the bush at Hearst; and on the other hand, there is no good reason why cities away in the south should have any say in deflecting the course from its logical one. The gap from Cochâ€" rane to L@a Reine should also be quickâ€" ly built. In two years a direct highâ€" way from Ottawa to La Reine will be| open for trafficâ€"upwards of 500 miles' â€"and unless we build before then the 43 miles or so of link to bring this road into Cochrane, the "missing link" will be at once conspicuous as a monument to provincial boprishness and shortâ€" sightedness. Northâ€"western Quebec is equally interested with Northern Onâ€". tario in having egress along a nationâ€" al coastâ€"toâ€"coast highway, and will reâ€" sent exclusion. It might be said here that a highâ€"grade type of construction is not expseted at this timzs. If an orâ€" dinary road is pushed through, imâ€" provement can be made from time to time as justified and as public finances warrant. This is in contradistinction to the insatiable ambition of the lake towns for a paved highway at once. If the Transâ€"Canada highway is once routed through the Soo, thsre will be unending demands on the authorities for continuing heavy exrrendilures for its improvement and upkeep. The zsreatest good to whole of Canada, now and in the future, will be served by having the national highway traâ€" verse the productive clay belt and carry cn with minimum mileage through promising mineral fields and rich timâ€" | ber tracts to the prairies." on Ti ts en n en e e ue ie ie Pn t c c 0 00 ces ce ce e s ce cce t Government is empowered to lower or | remove any duty in the event that proâ€" | ducers raise their prices in consequence of the duty, this provision applies only ‘toaâ€" manufactured goods and not to 'agricultural products. Premier Benâ€" ‘nett made this plain in the House of Commons when he declared that no duties would be removed from agricultâ€" ural produce because of increases in price. In this case the differentiation | between © farmers and manufacturers i will be widely approved. l Simcoe Reformerâ€"While the Federal | t NEED OF FIRE PREVENTION UREED 1N PROCLAMATION Recommendations Made in Proclamaâ€" tion for the Observance of Fire Prevention Week in Canada. And This is Fire Prevenâ€" tion Week in the Doâ€" minion. This week is being specially noted as fire plsevention week all through Canâ€" ada. The week is proclaimed for obâ€" servance by orderâ€"inâ€"council.. The causes set forth in the preamble of the proclamation for designating fire prevention week are the following: that the average yearly fire loss in Canada is over forty million dollars; that over 200 persons lose their lives annually and that the loss to the naâ€" tion from this cause lays such a heavy burden on the nation that it is deemed necessary and proper to take steps to remedy this condition. The proclamaion recommends as follows: 1. All dwellings and their surroundâ€" ings be carefully inspected .by their occupants and all conditions likely to cause or promote the spread of fires removed. 2. All public buildings, stores, wareâ€" houses and factories be inspected and cleaned of rubbish in order to reduce fire hazards and maintain health anc safety. 3. All hotels, theatres, asylums, hosâ€" pitals and other institutional buildings be inspected and provision made for all changes nscessary to protect the cccupants from danger in the event of fire. 4. Fire drills be held for the children in all schools, for the inmates of all institutions and for the employees in all large stores and factories in order that a greater degree of safety may be ensured by acquainting the occupants with the best and most expeditious mode of exit in time of danger. 5. Special instruction on the subâ€" ject of fire prevention be given by the teachers and by municipal officials in the schools and that such appropriate literature «as may be made available be distributed to the pupils. 6. Boy Scout leaders give instrucâ€" tions to the troops under their control as to the best means of coâ€"operating with unicipal fire departments in the prevention and extinguishment of fires and especially as to the desirability of qualifying for the firemen‘s badge. 7. All legislation and regulations enâ€" acted or issued by Dominion, Provincia! or Municipal authorities dealing with fire prevention be given publicity by the municipal officials and that by public meetings or otherwise as may to them seem most fit, they endeavour to impress upon the citizens the national importance of safeguarding life and property from loss by fire.
