Oldâ€"Time Settler in the North Thinks Settlement Interests Could be Better Looked After by the Department of Agriculture, Rather Than the Department of Lands and Forests, Already Overâ€" burdened with Other Interests. Urges Better Treatment for Settlers in the North The Advance has received the followâ€" ing from one who first took up a farm in this North Land in 1911, and who since then has settled on two other homesttads. One in Brower he had to give up because conditions were imâ€" possible. Then he took up a homeâ€" stead in Mountjoy. He has been deâ€" veloping this latter farm since 1920. He ought to know what he is talking about. His letter follows:â€"â€" To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins. It is sometimes advanced as a deâ€" fence of the government that the Deâ€" velopment Branch cannot be expected to build roads for every man who setâ€" tles away back in the bush; but if so, why is that land allowed to be taken up? A hitâ€"andâ€"miss slipshod policy: and just as long as this slipshod policy is in force, just so long will land setâ€" tlement in Ontario remain a probiem. Quebec can show us how in lots of ways, and notably in her highly cenâ€" The account of the settlers‘ meeting at Cochrane as given in your last issue makes heartening reading. It is a good sign. showing that more and more of us are getting out of the "dumb driver cattle" attitude and exhibiting a deâ€" sire to get a square deal. No cone can reasonably raise any Oobâ€" jection to the question of bonusing the settlers for work done. The plan is alâ€" ready in operation in Quebec and works well. Speaking as a settler who has cleared land and paid others to clear land, the proposed bonuses would not begin to cover the cost of getting the land in state for the plough; but they would certainly serve as a strong moral encouragement to continue the good work. And it should never be forgotten that the man who clears bush land works not for himself but for posterity. Very seldom is it that he gets more than a bare existence out of the fruits of his toil. The Quebec Government seems to have tackled the settlement problem much more thorâ€" oughly than Ontarioâ€"in this particular as well as in most of the others. The policy of the Dept. of Lands and Forests is one or other of two things. It is either hopelessly dumb or callous to a degree. If the former is rejected, then there is no other alternative than to assume that the policy is to open up land for settlement, let the settlers on the land, well knowing that before they quit, ruined and discouraged, they will have done a certain amount of land clearing. Then along will come others and do a little more before they, too, quit. Meanwhile the land is being slowly but ‘surely opened up at no diâ€" rect cost to the government. It has been stated in defence of the department‘s attitude that lack of understanding of conditions here is at the root of the governmental apathy. If so, why should this lack of understanding exist when there are so many ready to set officialdom right in the matter. Smith Ballantyne of Kaâ€" puskasing Experimental Station and Mr. Pomerleau of the Dept. of Agriâ€" culture, located at Cochrane, are both earnest, sincere workers for the betterâ€" ment of conditions among the settlers, to name but two. Why can‘t Toronto officials learn something from them about existing conditions? Or is it because they won‘t learn? How far would a plea of lack of understanding of conditions carry an executive of some large industrial concern? â€" Just about as far as the outer door of the office. All along I have advocated that land settlement should not be in the hands of the Dept. of Lands and Forests. Agricultural land settlement logically should be directed from the Dept. of Agriculture. Settlers are pioneer farâ€" mers and the department devoted to farming should be the one to direct the placing of agricultural settlers on new land. To give but one instance, thers would then have been no such anomaly as now obtains with that ghastly joke: the eightyâ€"acre farm. Practical men in the Dept. of Agriculture would have known the utter folly of such an inâ€" novation. No man in this raw country can hope toâ€"day to become a successful farmer on eighty acres. He can‘t run dairy farm on this acreage, and we can‘t all go in for poultry. Market gardeners are born, not made, and the business in any case calls for much higher initial expense than the ordinary settler can afford. The state of his roads too, if he is fortunate enough to have such rarety, makes him too dependent upon weather conditions to launch out into specialized lines like market gardening No, the eightyâ€"acre farm is one of the most foolish expedients ever foisted on the north, and the sooner it goes the better for land settlement. Hon. Mr. Finlayson has never shown yet that he considers settlers in any other light than a nuisance. He is minister for lands and forests and he thinks in terms of timber limits. _ It may be he even thinks that but for the settlers he would have had more limits to dispose of. Anyway it is a fact that he has shown the homesteadâ€" er but scant consideration in the past. His chief thought is with timber limits, on the Scotoh principle that whzre the money is, there the heart is. His deâ€" partment has shown no genius for land settlement; one might even say with reason that plain everyday common sense has been sadly lacking in dealâ€" ing with the matter. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO tralized method of land settlement. Roads are built before settlers are loâ€" cated in a particular section. The reâ€" sult is that bit by bit she is feeling her way, gradually extending her frontiers of settlement. With us in Ontario, where does settlement end? where does it begin? The only answer to both questions is "Somewhere between North Bay and the North Pole." The Quebec system is not perfect, naturally, but it is certainly far ahead of our blind drifting methods. Improvements are dueâ€"long overdue â€"and until they come there is but litâ€" tle hops for many unfortunate settlers in this district and for newcomers who are so rudely shocked into enlightâ€" enment after they have sunk their litâ€" tle all into an eightyâ€"acre farm. HAMISH DUFF, Haewyer Farm, Mountjoy Tp. FOUND AT GOLDLANDS WITH FEET AND FACE FROZEN A man who gave the name of Quane recently visited Timmins and called at The Advance Iffice. He claimed to be a linotype operator, but gave no suggestion that he was travelling in hard luck. Indeed, he gave the impression of being both assured and specially independent. Although it is customery to ask at least a few quesâ€" tions in the case of any man applying for a place on any staff, this man seemed to resent any questions of any kind. He did volunteer his name, and when pressed for the name of any printing plant he had ever worked in eventually he condescended to say that he had last been in the employ of The Northern News at Kirkland Lake. It was impossibleée to do anything for the man in any way, this being in part due to the odd attitude he asâ€" sumed. He left here and no more was heard of him until an item appeared in one of the Toronto newspapers saying that he had been found at Kelso Station with his face and feet frozen. The Northern News last week had the following reference to the manâ€" The Hearst correspondent of The Northern Tribunte last week says:â€" "Rev. Mr. Lapalla of Timmins, the Finnish minister under the United Church Mission Board, spent Saturday and Sunday in town. A service was held in the United Church Saturday night, and again in the Finnish Comâ€" munity Hall in Casgrain on Sunday afternoon. _ Bothl services were wel attended. He was a guest at the manse during his stay in town." "Found in the Kelso shelter of the T. and N. O. railway with his fest and face frozen, a man who gives the name of J. Quane and states he worked in Toronto as a printer and typesetter, was given shelter by G. A. Mitchell, postmaster pf Goldlands, Ont. Quane claims to have a brother employed as accountant in a Toronto bank. Mr. Mitchell states that his physical conâ€" dition is poor after his experience of exposure. Quane is about 28 years of age. F. W. Quane, brother of the man found atâ€" Goldlands, resides at 26 Thurston Ave. and is employed as an accountant in the Danforth branch of the Bank of Montreal. He was surprised to learn of his brother‘s conâ€" dition, having believed him to be in Sudbury, employed in his trade as a linotype operator. "I cannot imagine what can have happened to him," Mr. told The Star. "So far as I know there was nothing the matter with him mentally or physically. He has been in different places in the north country for some months. This man spent a few days in Kirkland Lake during which he worked at The Northern News as linotype operator."

Pat came home that night ! dragging a mangyâ€"looking cur after ‘him. "What kind of dog is that?" ‘roared his master. "Begorra," replied Pat, "he‘s the nearest to a yard dog I !could get.
