"If the arguments advanced aâ€" gainst the regulation are correct, this would seem to be an opportunity for the Boards of Trade in the various towns and the Associated Boards of Northern Ontario to bring their inâ€" fluence to bear on the Department of Lands and Forests and endeavour to have the old conditions restored.‘‘ far there does not appear to be any interested parties who have any defense to offer. With the exâ€" ception of the government explanation that the scheme was put into force in order to bring settlers closer toâ€" gether and to eliminate the settleâ€" ment of land that is unfit for eultiâ€" vation, there can hardly be said to be any advantage in confining the size of farms to eighty acres In many of the older settled areas, even in Temiskaming, there is more than this amount under cultivation in sinâ€" gle farms, and in the early settlement of the older parts of the province, the general size of homesteads was one hundred acres. The consensus of opinion appears to be, with a reasonâ€" able amount of justice, that the new regulation will only prove a detriâ€" ment and that it will hold up the development of the. North Country to a considerable extent. "The new regulation of the Deâ€" partment of Lands and Forests whereby settlers in the ‘‘clay belt‘‘ are only allowed eighty acres of land as a homestead, has caused considerâ€" able criticism and complaints. From every section of the North Country come protests against this action of the government, in the great majority of cases stating that it will retard settlement and delay the proper openâ€" ing up of the districts affected. It is claimed that the former area of 160 acres allotted to each settler is none too much, as there is in most sections a consderable proportion of the land that is unfit for cultivation. It is also said that the settler in order to make a living while clearing his farm, needs all the timber that grows on a quarter section. In most parts of the North Country the setâ€" tlers have been able to make progress by cutting and selling their» timber during the winter months, and if the acreage is reduced oneâ€"half, there will be little opportunity for this means of earning a livelihood until the farms are brought under cultivation. AROTRER EDITORMAL AGAINST 80â€"AGRE FARMS Practically every newspaper in this North Land has comdemned the new regulation limiting farms for settlers to eighty acres. Last week in an ediâ€" torial article The Haileyburian says: Haileybury Added to the List of Those Opposing New Regulaâ€" tion. ‘*The other day a county constable arrived with a boy sentenced to three years in the reform school,"‘‘ continuâ€" ed Mr. Kelso. ‘‘He was a smart, inâ€" teresting lad and it was hard to underâ€" stand why he should have to go to a reformatory. The commitment papâ€" ers were in good order and the eviâ€" dence revealed the cause. To the magistrate the mother said, ‘I could control him if his father would make him do as I say when at home.‘ The father and I disgree in matters of conâ€" trol.‘ The prineipal of the scehool was present and added, ‘The parents have no control over this lad and he comes and goes when he pleases‘.‘"‘ In view of the discussion at a reâ€" cent Council meeting regarding damâ€" age done by children to vacant houses, the following despatch from Toronto makes interesting reading:â€"""It is a sad fact that parents today are falâ€" ling down in their duty to their childâ€" ren,‘‘ commented J. J. Kelso, Onâ€" tari0o superintendent of neglected children, in speaking of juvenile deâ€" linquencey. ‘‘Fathers and mothers throughout Ontario should seriously consider their responsibilities and companions, combine kindness and turn over a new leaf in dealing with children. They should exercise closer supervision of their child‘s habits and firmness, require obedience and reâ€" spect and spend more of their time in getting acquainted. Above all they should avord dispute in the presâ€" ence of the child and having a dividâ€" ed policy of management.‘‘ Last week the fourâ€"â€"yearâ€"old son of Mrs. Mami Pin, of Sugar Island, near Sault Ste. Marie, was found, after spending twentyâ€"four hours in the bush without food, drink or sleep. The sobbing and crying of the lad, who had withstood the terrâ€" ors of a coldâ€" night, attracted the party of searchers who were out all night and day. With the excepâ€" tion of frostâ€"bitten hand and face and a bad sceare, the lad was none the worse for his harrowing experâ€" ience. MR. KELSC BLAMES PARENTS FOR JUVENILE DELINQUENCY FPOURâ€"YEARâ€"OLD BOY LOST IN THE WOODS OVER NIGHT ‘*As to the costâ€"two hundred milâ€" lionsâ€"it is safeâ€"to double or treble any amount an interested engineer may estimate, and why should Onâ€" tario or Canada, be at any part of such cost? One would think that if this proposed scheme is to be of beneâ€" fit to ‘the United States, that Canada should be paid for the use of these rivers, and at no expense in carrying out the work.‘‘ ‘‘There is still another question to be considered: What about the land or rock this proposed lake would covâ€" er? Would Ontario lose valuable agricultural, timber or mineral land if the scheme were carried out? ‘‘Then, again, are ‘there waterâ€" powers on these rivers which it is proâ€" posed to utilize in making the great lake? Could these rivers be made more useful to Ontario in the course they are now taking than if diverted in their course as is proposed ? ‘‘*At second thought one cannot but wonder if the scheme could be carried out. Naturally the country is lower towards James‘ or Hudson‘s Bay than it is around the basin where it is proâ€" posed to make the sixth great lake, and hence, the water in these rivers will have to be dammed to cause the water to flow from a lower to a highâ€" er level. This will be some big unâ€" dertaking. Then will it be practicâ€" able to hold the water in this basin at a level high enough to cause it to flow into Lake Nipigon? ‘‘Two weeks ago we gave Mr. Campbell‘s plan, taken from a Detroit paper, but we have not given sufficient thought to the subject, nor have we yet sufficient data ¢to guide us to justiâ€" fy us in expressing an opinion in reâ€" gard to this great scheme, but ere anything of practical nature is done the matter will be discussed from every angle, and the people will know more about it. Bay, as at present, thus making anâ€" other great lake in the north. ‘*On first thought naturally it would strike one as absurd that Onâ€" tario should do anything to help Chiâ€" cago. If this were all that there is behind the Campbell scheme, naturally not all Northern Ontario alone but all Canada would oppose the undertakâ€" ing. As a preface to publishing the artiâ€" cle from The Broke Hustler in referâ€" ence to the wild scheme for the diverâ€" sion of Northern Rivers to make a Sixth Great lake for the benefit of the United States. The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€"‘*‘Under the heading ‘‘Every Man in Northern Ontario Should Oppose Plan to Drain Northern Ontario Waters for the Benefit of Chicago,"‘ the editor of the Iroquois Falls Broke Hustler puts a srong argument against the carryâ€" ing out of Engineer Campbell‘s scheme for diverting the Albany and Nogoki Rivers from their course and to have these rivers empty into a great basin north of Lake Nipigon instead of empâ€" tying into Hudson‘s Bay or James‘ Why Should Canada Spend Anything? Asks The New Liskeard Speaker ABOUT TRE PROPOSED / DIVERSION OF RIVERS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘‘Why, no, dear,‘‘ replied the mother in some surprise, ‘‘certainly not.‘‘ There was quite a pause. Finally the boy said quietly: ‘‘ Well, it must be mighty lonesome up there with only God and George Washington.‘‘â€"Exchange. clean in the winter time. Some have been carting the manure to the dump. The opportunity to leave it at the High School grounds should be an allâ€" round benefit, allowing convenient means of disposal of the stable manâ€" ure during the winter, and saving the High School expense next spring. ven ?"‘‘ Since the items appeared in The Advance relative to the matter, several have been taking advance of the opportunity afforded for disâ€" posal of stable manure at the High School grounds. It is the intention to improve and beautify the High School grounds and for this purpose much stable manure can be used in the spring. In the meantime owners of stables in town can dump manure on the High School grounds, where it will be ready for use in the spring. Stable manure will thus have conveniâ€" ent means for disposal of this matâ€" erials. In past years it has been in many cases a problem to keep stables clean in the winter time.
