WILLIAMS "7" In the Sudbury ard Algoma disâ€" tricts and in other sections of the Province settlers may buy up to 160 acres, except in the clay belt where the limit is 80 acres. It is claimed that the other districts have land much more rocky and much less fertâ€" ile than the land in the clay belt, and that thus fact is one of the reasons why the limit has been reduced in the clay belt, If your foot slip, you may reâ€" cover your balance, but if your tonâ€" gue slip, you can not recall the words. The standard price for land in the clay belt is 50 cents an acre. Veterâ€" ans are the only ones who may obtain it without price. During the years that they are clearing the land the settlers make out a living by selling their timber. The regulations call for 15 acres to ‘be cleared and for residâ€" ence on the land six months in the year up to the time that the patent is issued. ‘‘We have to be on guard against that all the time, and the regulations are carefully designed to prevent it.‘‘ ‘*It will lead to more compact setâ€" tlement and make for greater sociaâ€" bility. The settlers will not be so far from one another and quite a saving will be made in the mileage anrd cost of roads. In the clay belt, when a man has cleared 30 or 40 acres he thinks he has a pretty good farm and does not clear any more.‘‘ ‘‘Has there been much profiteering in timber by persons posing as setâ€" tlers,‘‘ Mr. Cain was asked.

Last week The Advance reproduced an article from The New Liskeard Speaker criticizing the policy of the Ontario Government in cutting in two the size of the farms in the clay belt that may be purchased by settlers. The Speaker thought that the reductâ€" ion in size of the settlers‘ farms would ‘be aâ€" disadvantage. Mr. Cain, Deputy Minister of Lands and Forests gave the other side of the case at Toronto in an interview last week. The Ontario Government has cut in two the quantity of land in the clay belt that can be bought from the Proâ€" vince by settlers, reducing it from 160 to 80 acres. ‘‘There are many advantages in the change,"‘ said Deputy Minister Cain, on whose recommendation the Toronto â€" The Onta two the c belt that vince by 160 to 80 U €t Another Convenience to Bachelor Users Not 4.4 but alcoholice strength that satisfies.

Lowery, of Cobalt, is dited, by The Northern News, with the closest election prophecy of the recent preâ€"election time. Before polâ€" ling day he said that Col. Armstrong would have a majority of over 800, but less than 850. Col. Armstrong‘s majority is given as 846.\ search was resumed again toâ€"day. Timmerley is reported to have been missing two days before the canoe was found. There is a possibility of the smaller lakes freezin® over if the cold spell holds. ‘*Timmerley‘s home originally was in Uxbridge, but he had lived in Enâ€" glehart for many years and was wellâ€" known there; He worked last winter as a printer on The Englehart Times and had been engaged in carpenter work also. was employed for a time as a brakeman on the T. N. O., it is said. Timmerley was unmarried‘‘ Yesterday word was sent back that more grappling irons .«would be requirâ€" ed. Reports indicate that little proâ€" gress could be made yesterday owing to the stiff breeze which swept over the lake most of the day, and the A canoe and a man‘s hat were found floating in a lake near Goward and from these it was deduced that Timâ€" merley had lost his life. Word of the accident was sent to provincial police headquarters here on Wednesday afâ€" terncoon and, on â€"the instructions of Sergeant Gardner, two officers, Conâ€" stables Elliott, from North Bay, and Constable Reed, from Hailéybury, went to the sceene. _â€"_The Northern News, of Cobalt tlast week says:â€"Jake Timmerley, a man apparently between 50 and 60 _years of age, living in Englehart, is reported to have been drowned near Goward, north of Temagami, early this week. Members of â€"the Provineâ€" ial police, with other men, are engaged in searching for the body, but withâ€" out success, so far as was known at press time toâ€"day. From the. information Ahvailable it appears that Timmerley, with Charles Ham, 8f Epglehart, and a T. N. 0. employee named â€" Killins, living at Thornloe, went on a hunting trip. Timmerley is said to have started out from camp alone in a canoe and when he did not return his companions beâ€" came alarmed and commenced search for him. " The future destination of the field kitchens in question may be of special interest to Haileybury, but what will particularly interest other places and other people is the question that will naturally arise as to where the field kitchens have been since the war, how they got there and why. | ENGLEHART MAN THOTUGHT TO BE DROWNED LAST WEEK After these many years the present location of the two field kitchens donâ€" ated by the people of Haileybury to the 37th Battalion in 1915 has been discovered.. Mr. W. M. Gladish, of The Ottawa Journal, last week wrote to the Haileybury Council saying that the kitchens in question were in use at a private picnic grounds near Toronto, and asking the Council if they wished the field kitchens. reâ€" turned to Haileybury. The Council turned the matter over to the Haileyâ€" bury G. W. V. A. for consideration. Commenting on the matter The Hailâ€" eyburian says that these kitchens, if returned, and set up in Lakeview Park, with proper covering, would be a boon to those who go picnicking there; on field days, lodge or church picnics, they would make it very conâ€" venient for those who . wish to eat food or make tea or coffee.

R. LeHeup, of Haileybury, has been named as a member of the Permanent Board of the new Training School for boys in the Province, this new institution to open at a very early date. The new Provincial Boy School is at Bowmanville, Ont., and it i1s understood that it will largely replace the reformatories now used. At the Boys‘ School trades will be taught to all boys there,\ Timmins Citizens‘ Band is the oldâ€" est band in the North Land in point of continuance and active existence, but the North Land has several other bands that are now in good condition and promise still better for the futâ€" ure. Bands in the North Land are increasing in popularity and with the extended support that they are now likely to«receive the future for band music in this North is much improved Among the newer bands is the Poreuâ€" pine Goldfields Band of South Poreuâ€" pine, an organization that has made unusual progress and:â€" may confidently be expected to show still greater adâ€" vancement in the days to come. Kirkland Lake is now making plaus and preparations for a band there. In a recent issue of The Northern News the following paragraph appears on the Kirkland Lake and Swastika page:â€"It looks as if Kirkland Lake will have a brass band in the near future. A list of over fifteen playâ€" ers have signified their willingness to join such an organization and all that is required is a competent leader to start things in imotion.. ‘‘Chuek" Thicke is the prime mover and is making arrangements to secure the fire hall for a couple of nights a week for practice, In discussing the possibility of a Provincial general election along aâ€" bout June of 1926, Premier Ferguson remarked that probabilities were for another Dominion election in the near future and that the people could not be expected to weigh the issues of. two election appeals at the same time. KIRKLAND LAKE MAY HAVE A BAND IN NEAR FUTURE There have been many questions asked as to when the byeâ€"election for this riding of Cochrane for the Proâ€" vincial Legislature would take place. Some weeks ago Mr. Mac Lang reâ€" signed his seat as Member for Cochâ€" rane Riding in the Provincial House, so that he could contest South Temâ€" iskaming in the Liberal party interâ€" ests in the recent Dominion Election. Mr, Lang‘s resignation was no doubt accepted and accordingly the riding is without representation in the Local House. There are other tidings in Ontario in somewhat similar position. It has been expected that as soon as the Dominion Elections were over there would be Provincial byeâ€"electâ€" ions to fill the vacant seats, unless it was intended to have a general Provincial election in the near future. However, politics seldom follow along the lines expected. According to deâ€" patches from Toronto last mweek such things as Provincial byeâ€"elections and Provincial general elections have not as yet entered into the thoughts of Premier Ferguson who stated, in reply to questlons that he simply had not yet given a thought to them. According to the despatches reâ€" ferred to, it is deemed probable, however, that byeâ€"elections to fill the vacancies caused by Legislature memâ€" bers contesting Frederal seats in the Dominion election, will not be held previous to the Provincial house session which opens in February. Then, if there is to be a Provincial election in the summer, there will be no necessity for holding them at all. Premier Ferguson Makes Statement to Press in Toronto in the Matter.
