WEEK | WALDO} F CAFE "SIMCOE STREET NORTH Spe cial Full Course Dinner 'SERVED DAILY | "DINE AT THE WALDORF ~ DURING PROSPERITY WEEK GENERAL TRADE Dun's Review Shows That | Business is Picking Up All Over the Dominion The increased optimism in general business noted m week ago continues; Retail trade has taken on a quicker pace, the demand for seasonal lines being particularly heavy, as a result of the cooler weather, which prevails in nearly all parts of Canada. Some restriction in volume has beéh noted in the wholesdle dry goods trade, de- liveries being comparatively light and sales below the average, accord- ing to dispatches to Dun's Review from branch offices of R. G. Dun & Co., located in the chief commercial and industrial centers of the Domin- fon. The grocery trade reports a steady consumptive demand for sta- ple lines, with an active movement in canned goods and sugar. Commencement of work on the rail- way terminal and new public works program at Montreal is expected to employ 30,000 workers and to pro- moté the sales of road and construe- tion machinery. Sales of general madhinery have increased during the past two weeks. Some improvement is noted in the demand for leather and. rubber belt- ing, and the movement of sole and upper leather shows a gain. Railway purchases of rolling stock and equip. ment are being held to immediate requirements, and large scale orders are not expected until the beginning of next year. Automobile sales are better than they were in August, with a stronger demand for dealers' stocks, Accessories and geplacement parts are moving well. Conditions in the electrical equipment market show an improvement. The iron and steel business is slightly better than it was in Aug- "| ust. Harvest results, on the whole have been fairly satisfactory, and late crops are advancing rapidly to ma- turity 'under ideal conditions. Fruit growers in some sections are ex- | pressing disappointment over the low prices obtainable on the open markets, but those who had con- tracts with canneries delivered a fully matured crop at a sul profit. The decline in flour pr reflects the intense competition for domestic business among Canadian millers, as a result. of the abrupt slump in export shipments, While Canada's tourist business, which ranks as the third largest in- dustry of the Dominion, has doubled in the last five years, it is expected that this year's income will be some- what below the 1929 revenue which totalled $300,000,000, YUKON BIG GAME Yukon Territory, Canada, is the paradise of big game hunters and no place on the North American continent tedav offers greater in- ducements both for the variety of 'big game und. for the dimensions of 'the trophiz2s to be sacured. tain shiep. moose, goat, caribou and bear ore numer ns 'The moose are of the "glant" wp svies, and bear |: fncl'ides Hider, brown and grizzly. BIG SHORTAGE OF | Moun- al ON UPWARD TREND , LUMBER WORKER | IN COOLER WEATHER QUEBEC PROVINCE | Company Asks For 78 Workers and Fail To Get One Answer Quebec, Oct. 9.--A shortage of la- bor exists in the Chicoutimi region, according to Price Brothers & Co. who in a letter to Premier Tasche- reau on timber operations state that they posted a notice calling for 76 laborers, and failed to get a single application. Price Brothers & Co. cut 90,000 cords of wood last year, or approgi- mately one-quarter of what th® would need if operating to capacity. The letter, which is in reply to one sent by Premier Taschereau to the company to ascertain what were their plans for the coming season, states in part: "Last year we cut in the Shipshaw River, 45,000 cords, in the Ecorces, 25,000 cords, and in Ferland district, 20,000 cords; in ail 90,000 cords, of which 70,000 went to our mills in the Saguenay and 20,000 was sold to the Port Alfred Company. "This year our operations in that area are Shipshaw 35,000, KEcorces 12,500, Lake St. John, 45,000; in all 92,000 cords, or approximately the same quantity as last year, although you will see it is distributed in slightly different areas because we are operating in the Lake St. John region instead of the Boileau and Ferland region. "Naturally this quantity of 'wood does not represent the quantity which we would require had we not already wood on hand, and if we were working to full capacity. At full capacity, our annual requirements would be in the neighborhood of 850,000 cords. Even with such cur- taflment of operations, we experi- ence some slight shortage of labor, which under the circumstances is very difficult to account for. For some time past we have had a notice in front of 'our Chicoutimi office stating that we require 76 men for the woods, and this notice has brought little or no response from the local residents, I can only sug- gest that the recent industrial devel- opments of the Saguenay, the more intensive and perhaps more profit: able farming on the better land in the valleys of the Saguenay, tend to breed a disinclination among the re- sidents for work in the woods. Ks pecially in this case when felling operations are carried out in the summer, which course we have been compelled to adopt in order to carry out the ever closer utilization called for by the Department of Lands and Forests, "With regard' to our lumber opera- tons on the South Shore of the St. rence, the case may he somewhat erent owing to the large stocks of lumber which have accumulated of the decrease in bullding "Everyone who enjoys thinks that the principal thing of the tree is the -fruit but in point of fact the principal thing is the seed.--Merein lies the difference between them that create and them that enjoy." r NIETZCHE. QUEBEC INTENDS 70 MAKE THE MOST OF CONFERENCE Quebec Premier Tells Labor, Minister Province Will Take Advantage of Meeting BM Quebec, Que ~Premier Tascherau has despatched a letter to Hon, Gordon Robertson, Minister of La- bor, assuring him that Quebec in- tends to take full advantage of the Dominion Government's scheme for meeting the unemployment situation and that Hon. J. N. as, Pro- vincial Minister of Public Works, will attend the unemployment con- ference in Ottawa next week. z The Provincial Premier denied, in his letter, that attempts had been made in Quebec to derive provincial benefits from. the unem- ployment situation and drew atten- tion to the fact that the date .for opening of parliament had been set forward six weeks in order to co- operate. Premier Taschereay listed the num- erous public works projects under- way or proposed and suggested ways and means by which the Federal Government might be of assistance, If the Dominion Government would consent to co-operate, the Premier said, the Provincial Government would at once initiate a great bridge building 'programme in connection with the provincial highway system and the Provincial ~ Government would even be prepared to assume the share of responsibility borne by the municipalities, MOUNTAINEER SURWEYORS In mapping the Dominion's moun- tainous districts the surveyor of to- day must be more than a surveyor nly, He must be a mountain climber as well. One survey party of the Topographical Survey, De- nartment of the Interior, in one season climbed 29 peaks im Jasper national park in the course of duty, Of these twelve were over 10,000 feet above sea-level, including Negel! peak (10,626 feet); Sun- wapa peak (10,865 feet); Pobok- tan peak (about 19,980 feet), and 36 other peaks over 9,000 feet above sea-level.
