Ne# +4 ® TAKING A BIGGER FIRSTâ€"MONEY CHANCE THAN THE MINES It is a fact that loses nothing of truth, from its strangeness, that the initial expenditure upon power stipâ€" ply to a mining field has on notable occasions been larger than the amount of money originally put into the mines. This is true of the Porâ€" cupine field. Moreover, after the first original investment of money, the mines of Porcupine were largely able to finance expansion out of their own earnings, whereas at each stepâ€" up of the mines the Power Company which is now part of the Canada Northern Power Corporation system had to seek the investment of furâ€" ther funds in order to meet the growâ€" ing power demand. Much is made, and rightly so, of the risk that capital takes when it embarks upon the supplying of power to a mine or mining field. A mining company, on one hand, earns large dividends, sometimes equal to 30 or 40 per cent. of the gross productien and several times, annually, the One thinks of power supply to a mining camp as a subsidiary service. In a sense this thought is true, for without the mines there would be toâ€" day no Canada Northern Power Corâ€" poration. Yet it is equally true that there would be no big mining indusâ€" try without an equally large power a Northern Power Corporation Northern Ontario Power Company, Limited Northern Quebec Power Company, Limited THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, oONTaRtO Controlling and Operating Limited Despite the hazard involved Canâ€" ada Northern Power Corporation has not hesitated to anticipate its duty to supply power wherever the justifiâ€" eation for such supply seemed preâ€" sent. It admits that it has built lines to mines and camps that lasted but a little while; These mistakes cannot well be avoided if the mining indusâ€" try is to be served. The willingness of the Power Company to take a chance with the men who are endeaâ€" vouring to make mines is a demonâ€" stration of that private initiative and aggressiveness so necessary in the developing of a new country. amount of <the original and only capital investment. â€" But a power supply company cannot earn and pay such splendid returns because in the first place, its rates for power do not permit, and in the second place beâ€" cause reserves must be built up for amortization of the investment. The bookkeeping practices are essentially different. * A power organization could in fairness, ask for equally large profits, for it is apparent that the risk in which it is involved is just as great as that of the mining industry; if the mines fail then the power organizaâ€" tion faces disfaster. In a mining area few other demands for power can be counted upon. Speaker points out that the closing -’dovm of work on Northern Development will result, or has resulted, in a number of men being thrown out of work. That means, of course, so many more men who will be on direct relief. If this direct relief business is continued much longer there will be no one left able to pay for direct relief. Someone may ask "Wel!, what is the answer?" There is only one answer. Until direct relief is stopped things will get worse instead â€"of better. Already there is a lowering of the standards of living and the morale of the people. Direct relief should be discontinued and work proâ€" vided so that people may look after themselves. The work is badly needâ€" Direct Relief Makes More _ Need for More Relief ed, indeed, and the question is not "Where is the money to come from?" but, "If all are thus forced on direct relief, who is going t be able to pay?" However, here is The Speaker,s article: "Following the announcement of closing of the Liskeard Demonstration Farm two weeks ago, came the report last week of the stopping of further work in Temiskaming under the Norâ€" thern Development Branch. From inâ€" quiries made we learn that â€"a@llâ€"work in this district will be stopped‘as*soon as practicable, and that it is not likely that any new construction work will,.be unâ€" dertaken this year. ‘Thismeans that a large number of men who h'a\)e been employed in this branch of the Govâ€" ernment service for several;} years will be, or have been laid off. Last week we gave reasons why the Bemonstraâ€" tion Farm should not be closed, and we stand by what we said, and we are still hopeful that this good work undertaken ‘by the Department of Agriculture here will be carried on, but. we are urlable to find fault with the Department ‘of Lands for the course now being pursuâ€" ed with regard to cutting down expenâ€" ditures under the Northern Developâ€" ment Branch,. The North has fared well in the matter of building roads and bridges. No district in Canada has fared better, if so well, However, the Government cannot continue to feed the unemployed at the heavy expendiâ€" ture as at present without making cuts in grants to some cther branches of 'the service. BWt every one will ‘be sorry that so many good .citizens have lost their jobs. Perhaps some of them may be taken on at other work. It is quite likely that Mr. Miller, C.E., will remain here to look after repairs and emergency work om the leading highâ€" ways. At least we hope so. It would be poor policy to allow the Government roads to deteriorate when a few dollars at the proper time would save them; and it goes without saying that the Ferguson highway must be kept in good condition." â€"_The teams were:â€"McIntyreâ€"goal, ‘Quinn; defence, Woods and Croteau; ‘centre, Boyd; wings, Buck and Davidâ€" ‘son; spares, Rice, Adamson, King, Finâ€" lay, Kelly, Calverley. f Plenty of scoring in the second period ‘for McIntyre gave them the game.

The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "The admitted theft of a front quarter of beef which the owner valued at apâ€" proximately six dollars, sent Wilfrid Leonard, 17, of Earlton, to jail for 30 days when he appeared in police court at Haileybury last Friday and pleaded guilty to the charge when read to him by Magistrate Atkinson. The youth, it was stated by O. E. Bowman of Thornâ€" loe, had taken the beef, which weighed 113 lbs., from a train at Earlton, and later Bowman, the owner, traced it to the place where it had been sold. Leonard got four dollars for it, the police said, and the youthful defendant told the magistrate he had taken it to sell in order to pay for another quarter he had bought from another man and had not been able to sell. Leonard was arrested by Provincial Constable Young and brought to Hailâ€" eybury. He is said to have told police he had been on his own resources since he was nine years old, at which zage he claims his stepfather put him out of hz home."
