There is a lengthy article on the Townsite of Noranda, reading in part as follows :â€" ‘"*In the past two years 430 acres of timbered land have been cleared, as a fireâ€"protection measure and to proâ€" vide fuel for the mining plant. Since more clearing will be carried on in the future it looks as if Rouyn will stand a good chance of avoiding the fiéery fate which has overtaken so many Northern mining camps. The clearing work was done by contract, most of it being accomplished last winter, the high average of 33 cords per acre testifying to the thickness of the growth of the tuimber and makâ€" ing more difficult the stumping and final clearing which followed on the melting of the . snow. Systematic surface draining made the »clearing a great deal easier and will facilitate matters when the lots are put on the market and building is begun. \ vast improvement in the dryness an‘d The Copperâ€"Gold Era has the folâ€" lowing article under the heading, ‘‘Game in the Rouyn District‘‘:â€" ‘‘Although two moose were seen last week on the shores of Edward Lake, a quarter of a mile from town and in sight of several houses, game is searce in the Rouyn district; naturâ€" ally so when one considers the aâ€" mount of blasting which goes on daily and the number of prospectors and others who continually pass along the bush trails and although moose tracks are frequently seen, they are most of them made by wanderers who pass through in the night. Duprat townâ€" ship was the home of a small herd of caribo last winter and wolves eould often be heard though never seen Bear are very searce and although there are some foxes, both red and black, it is doubtful if tranping would prove a paying proposition.‘‘ Speaking of the smelter at Rouyn The Copperâ€"Gold Era says that the employees now exceed 500, the maâ€" jority of whom are engaged at work on the foundations.

Petersen, publisher of 'l'lw Farm and Ranch Review, of Calgars Alberta, in reference to culnm/mmn. Mr. Petersen emphasizes the fact that practically all of Canada‘s problems hinge on, the subject of the right type of cnlnmmtwn, and that the first thing necessary is to secure public recognition of this fact together with the corresponding general interest that such knowledge actively recognized should arouse. Recently, Mr. Peterâ€" sen addressed the Empire Club at Toronto, on his favourite topic. In reference to this address The Mail and Empire editorially says :â€" ‘*The public speaker wno is most worth hearing has not always the bigâ€" gest audience. Members of the Emâ€" pire Club who were not at the lunchâ€" con meeting yesferday missed one of the best addresses that have been deâ€" livered before that body. To say this is not to disparage other addresses heard at the meetings of the Club. Interesting subjects have been gener:© ally well handled by guests of honâ€"« or there, but seldom mdeed has there been presented in so instructive a manner facts and reasonings pertainâ€" ing to one of the most important questions that pertain to our own country. _ The Club might well take a hint from the fine reception of the address delivered yesterday by Mr. C. W. Petersen, publisher and editor of the **Farm and Ranch Review," of Calgary. Of Empire topies surely there is none that should be more inâ€" teresting to members of the Club than those of direct vital import to Canaâ€" da. Mr. Petersen dealt with facts, and in. so far as those facts mean disappointment to Canada he had no apblogy to make for any political party or for â€" <any interest whatever. We are losing people by emigration at a rate not less than the rate of the natural inâ€" crease of our populdtion. In the ten months from July, 1925, to May, 1926, the exodus from Canada was 83,903. The Canadians who thys helped to enâ€" large the jpopulation of the United States in that ten months made up more than a half of the total number of immigrants into the United States from all parts of the world in the same period. At the present time, said Mr. Petersen, there is a waiting list in «the United States Consulate for Alberta alone of 2,200 persons born in the United Kingdom. â€" This is over and above the number of Canaâ€" dianâ€"born going from Alberta to the United States free from the quota restrictions. Mr. Petersen believes that we must look to other sources of overseas emigration in addition to Britain and Northern Europe. He is convinced that we can get the materiâ€" al for the very best new Canadians from Eastern Europe. The matter of imnmigration needs to bhe handled in a far more statesmanlike manner, in a far human manner, than in . the past. Petersen puts the ~matter in a_ nutshell when he says the problem is one, not simply of immigration, but of coloâ€" nization. The country must assist in making itself the happy home of the neweomers."‘ LOLONLZATIOM MEANG MORE THAN IMMIGRATION One of the Big Problems FPacing Caâ€" nada Toâ€"day,. Right Kind of |\ Population Needed ()n many recent oceasions The Adâ€" vance has published dletters from Mr. Only nine weeks to Christmas! ‘mno is most ays the bigâ€" of the Emâ€"
