Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Fublished Every Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Bubscription Rates COanacdaâ€"â€"$2.00 Per Year United 8 Reports from Toronto suggest that the Ontario Governâ€" ment intends to abandon all attempts at putting more seitâ€" lers on the land in the North. The new government seemâ€" ed to have two opinions in the matter. One was to the effect that if the plan were practical at all it should be carricd on a large scale, so that it might assist in material way in developing the agricultural possibilities of the North, while at the same time contributing in large measure to the placing of the unemployed of the cities and towns. The other view was that all attempts at land setâ€" tlement should be discontinued as too costly and too lacking in permanence. Apparently it is the latter view thas; has prevailed. This is to be regretted, particularly because it more or less throws reflection on the possibilitiee of the more OoI North. It appears that to decide between the two opposing views | Premier Hepburn appointed J. B. Thompson, formerly secâ€" retary to Hon. Wm. Finlayson to make a survey and reâ€" port on the question. Mr. Thompson is quoted now as ad â€" vising that the colonization plans be dropped at least forl the present. Mr. Thompson appears to believe that thei | I $600.00 which has hitherto been allowed for the families settling under the Dominion‘s Land Settlement scheme is not enough to place the new settlers in position to earn a living. This may be the fact, but it is not the fault of the Dominion‘s Land Settlement plan which already has enough families settleq comfortably on the land with good prospects to warrant holding the belief that the scheme hase notable possibilities. It is true that there have been failâ€"| ures, but so there are in all lines of activity. Theré is no scheme that is perfect or that is likely to bring anything approaching to perfection in results. After all only a small proportion of the settlers under the plan introduced by the Dominion Government may be definitely classed as failures., There are some who claim that fully oneâ€"third of those taking homesteads under the legislation sponsored by Hon. W. A. Gordon have given up their homesteads or contemâ€" plate doing so. At first glance this may be considered a large proportion, but it should be remembereq that oneâ€"third is not as worthy of notice as twoâ€"thirds, and the latter is the acknowledged proportion of those ready to continue to carry on under the Dominion plan. When all the circumstances and conditions are considered the proportion of oneâ€"third proving failures is notp too disâ€" couraging after all. The twoâ€"thirds still ready to keep on with the plan suggests that it has features of merkt and value. There are many reasons for the apparent failure of some to prosper under the legislation now in force. Of the four hundred familles taking homesteads in the North under the Dorrlingpn‘ Government plan there were many who had no experience in farm work and even less aptitude for, it. From some of them nothing but failure could be expected. Indeed, it is not to be wondered that!t some failed. The amazement should come from the fact that so many were brought to the North with such few qualifications for the work and the life. There are enough cases of genuine sucâ€" cess won in the North by settlers to prove the agricultural possibilities of the country and the fact that the right type of settlers working along the right lines may win out on homcsteads here despite all difficulties. It may well be asked:â€""If settlers with $600.00 spent to assist them cannot make good, how is it that older settlers in the North have achieved a pleasing measure of success without the benefit of any reserve capital to tide them over the first few years of difficulty and hardship." The answer is that determination, experience and hard work are nearly sure to succeed in the matter of settlement as well as in other lines. The North has enough of the successful kind to prove this point. The truth is that the whole system under which the new settlers and the older ones has laboured appears to be all wrong. For the first few years it is easy to recognize that the homesteaq alone will not provide for the needs of a man and his family. It may have been possible for ploneer settlers a generation ago to carry on to eventual establishâ€" ment without special assistance. Such a possibility no longer prevails. The settler of toâ€"day must have some other source of revenue that the returns from the farm. It may be roadwork, or direct relief, or work at the larger cenâ€" tres so as to provide for the needs of dependents. Some assistance in one guise or another would seem to be essenâ€" tial. Roadwork and other forms of government labour are by their very nature a dangerous form of procedure. The tendency is to depend too much upon these aids. The farms are neglected. It makes little difference apparently whether it is the sale of pulpwood or the giving of services at roadwork, the result so far as settlement is concerned is not at all satisfactory. Neither the cutting of pulpwood nor the sale of time and labour on roadwork are sufficiently profitable to allow the settler to make the small amount necessary to supply his special needs, without decreasing the attention to farm work that is absolutely essential to success in farming and kindred operations. Is it accordingly to be taken for granted that colonization of the North Land is impossible or impractical? The Adâ€" vance does not think so! What then is the answer? Ths reply seems to be that a form of bonus for land clearing is the essential requirement in this case. For years past The Advance has been advocating the landâ€"clearing bonus plan. Every settler asked about the matter seems to be of the same opinionâ€"that nothing can take the place of the bonus plan and that all other systems are sure to fail. Unâ€" der the landâ€"clearing bonus plan, the settler receives aid Just in proportion as he gets along with his work of clearâ€" vance does not think reply seems to be tha the essential requiren Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Oct. 25th, 1934 aind Hea since the days of the old pioneers.

It is useless ‘ pioneers of older Ontario had iblish United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year cheme ered ) disâ€" on and of the North, however, may be encouraged by the fact at least two of the members of the new commission have given a lifetime of devotion to the North, and they have the courage and the talent to carry on for what they believe to be the interests of the North regardless of party or other considerations. Reading the newspapers of the North Land and hearing the opinions of the people in general in this North it is quite evident that there is little agreement with the report of Armand Racine, K.C., the commissioner appointed by Premier Hepburn to investigate the T. N. O. There has been particular resentment at the cavalier treatment given Geo. W. Les, former chairman ofsthe T. N. O. The comâ€" missioner in his report seemed to go far out of his way and apart from the facts of the case in order to cast asperâ€" sions on Mr. Lee. The general feeling in the North is that Mr. Lee and the other commissioners gave the best of serâ€" vice to the North Land and through the North to all Onâ€" tario. It is easy, perhaps, to criticize. The people here, however, are not critical of Mr. Lee‘s work. They recogâ€" nize the fact that Mr. Lee built up a railway service that was not excelled anywhere on the continent. He was alâ€" ways ready to do anything legitimate to advance the North. There was no man in the last few years who did so much to further the broader interests of the North, The political document issued by Mr. Racine as a report has deceived very few. Geo. W. Lee is still one of the most popular men of the North, and very deservedly so. There has been so much valid objection to the report of the commissioner that the new administration suggested by him will have its own problems in building up a reputation. The new commission named to oversee the T. N. O. Railâ€" way might ordinar‘ly be greeted as a valuable one. There are good men named on the board, C. V. Gallagher, reeve of Tisdale township is an able and fairminded son of the North with the talent to serve the public. . That he will make a valuable addition to the commission is accepted on all sides. He has had notable experience in business and municipal effort. His heart is in the North. His voice will always be raised in the interests of the North. As much may be saigq for another member of the new commission. Major Mac Lang, formerly member for this riding in the provincial house. Major Mac Lang knows the North Land and its people and for a quarter century has been a friend of the North. These two members of the new commission will be received by the general public with much approval and satisfaction, though it is difficult to understand why they thould be asked to serve the public without proper salary for the work. The North in general, will also find no fault with the appointment‘of A. G. Slaght as a member of the commission. He is a former resident of the North and should know the needs and requirements of this country. In the hands of these three the T. N. O. would not be a political football. They are noted for playing the game fairly and squarely. The other two members of the comâ€" mission, however, are not so satisfactory. Neither Hon. Mr. Hepburn nor Armand Racine, K.C., know anything about railways or the North. It is unfortunate that they see things only through partisan spectacles. It is much to be feared that a great part of the effort of the other three members of the commission will have to be directed to preventing Messrs Hepburn and Racine from making vital mistakes about the T. N. O. and the North. The people men in the lumber camps, InoeDuck LOOK the stand that this sort of thing was of minor importance When lawâ€"abiding citizens were maltreated, the Attorneyâ€" General‘s attitude seemed to be:â€""Oh, you ought to have seen some of the strikes that I have seen." Now that the lawâ€"ab‘ding element in the lumber camps of the North are organizing to meet the force of the aliens with a British city and hamilet thi gain any hold. The effort to break the tw to establish themselv( less intrinsically important than appears at first glance. They are but evidences of forms of degeneracy that may arise in any large town and that an alert may be safely trusted to deal with. The organization of vice as a profitâ€"making venture offers even more serious conseâ€" quences to the community. Such organization breeds every other vice and degeneracy. This has been proven in every city and hamlet that has permitted organized vice to gain any hold. The local police are making a determined effort to break the two or three vice rings that are seeking to establish themselves here. In this the police appear to have the full support of the police committee. With the intelligent and honest support of the people it should be comnparatively easy for the crime rings to be done away Every decent citizen in town should be wholeheartedly behind the police in the present effort to clean up the town and bring it back to the condition of law and order and decency that it used to enjoy in years past. There has always been someone ready to say in thoughtless way that the town needed cleaninâ€"up. The Advance in other years was not always ready to agree with these citizens. Someâ€" times they seemed to unduly exaggerate conditions and to give the town: a name it by no means deserved. Individual cases Oof lawâ€"breaking have been present, it is true, but the town has been singularly free from organized crime. The gangster and the racketeer have had short shrift here. Until recently Timmins has been unusually lawâ€"abiding and orderly and has shown much greater regard for the decenâ€" cies of life than the average town in Canada. That is a compliment, for Canada has the British instinct for law observance and playing the game of life with due regard for the rights and feelings of athers. As a mining town, with a mixed population, including practically every race on earth, Timmins has a record of which the citizens may well be proud. Until recently there has been no evidence of the established racketeer and gangster or the organizaâ€" tion of crime and vice. Lawâ€"breaking has been individual, as it were, and so never in danger of getting beyond conâ€" Recently, however, there is evidence that vice has been able to perfect a sornt of organization. When liquor fines are traced to two or three sources, and when the trail from disorderly houses connects up with apparent headquarters, these headquarters victimizing both the inmates and the public for the dirty profit to be made, then it is high time port in clean‘ngâ€"up completely any attempt to perfect rings of crime. Ssome sensational and may improperly hold the proportions of more app warranted. Of promptly and vith betf W a9 NEW T. N. 0.

The map shows the princ.pal geological features along the borders of Lake Athabaska. In view of present activities in the area, the comments of Dr. Camsell now Deputy Minister of Mines, on the mineral possibilities, as published in a memoir issued in 1916 are of interest. "There are evidences, he states, "that the region bordering Lake Athabaska on the north is a mineralized region which may eventually prove to conâ€" tain some of the precious metals "in quantities rich enough to work even in a district so remote from easy transâ€" portation."
