This work has bean going on for four years, and during that time a very large number of Canadian families have been settled on farms of their ownâ€" withoutâ€" governmentâ€" assistance, and manyâ€"others have been placed on the land through the coâ€"cperation of the Canadian National and the Federal and Provincial governments. Figures in D(gail etailed figures for the first nine menths of 1986 follow: lrectâ€" settlementâ€"Families â€" settled adjacent to Canadian National lines, without gov@rnment assistance, 1514 families; Relief settlementâ€" Families settled under the relief settliment agreeâ€" ment the Federal an@ Provinâ€" cilal governments, with the assistance of the CN.R., complete families, 342 families; dspendent families (moving to join husbands previously settled), 174 families; heads of families proceedâ€" ing in advance of their wives and chilâ€" dren, 691; single men, 477. Many of the lines of the Canadian Naticnal system were caorstructed origâ€" inally as lines, and were intended to provide a means of developâ€" ing Canada‘s vast natural rssources. A number of these lines were constructed in advance of the development, and it is with a view to carrying out this deâ€" velcopmEnt work that the Colonization Department of the Railway directs its efforts.â€"There are toâ€"day very extensive areas of desirable farming land in terâ€" ritory servedl by the lines of the Naâ€" tional system available for settlement. The settlem®nt and developmnét of these lands is, of course, of prime importance to the railway in the production of new traffic. ; The work of the Colonization Departâ€" ment covers a very wide field of acâ€" tivities. In an interview recently, Dr. Black summarized it as follows: "The examination or survey of vacant lands adjacent to the company‘s lands. A record is kspt of lands available for settlement, whether Crown lands or privately cwned. 6479 Inquiries "Giving information and advice to all enquiries addressed to us dealing with land scttlement in territory served by the railway.

In additicon, nearly 700 heads of families were assisted in selscting farms, and were moved to various settlement disâ€" tricts to prepare new hoemes for tyeir families; whils 1700 single men were directed to points along the railway where settlement cppertunities were available. 4 cate settlers on properties suitable to their financial requirements and the type of farming they desire to follow.

The grsat majority of these pecple were city dwellersâ€"many o them on reliefâ€"who obtained a new start in life by taking up farming in the various land settlement : districts of the country.

The argument is put up that the people are not liable to get up mutch exciteâ€" ment about what happened years ago, but that all will be vitally interested in the affairs of the past couple of years. From Toronto this week comes the report that Premier Hspburn has freâ€" quently voiced threats to the effect that "someone is liable to go to jail‘"‘ before Recently the Conservative party has put on so much "pressure" in attacking the Hepburn administration that the premier is reported as his threat to hold an enquiry into the Dept. of Lands and Porests under the Henry and Ferugson regim*es. The Conservaâ€" tive reply is said to be a careless "hop to it," or words to that effect, with the added suggestion that what thsy really desire is a full enquiry into the adminâ€" istration of the department under Hon. Mr. Heenan. The new leaders of the Hepburn Government Said to be Ready to Investigate Former Administration of Department. "As far as the scope of the inquiry is concerned, the advantage rests with the Government. The scope is set out in the terms of the commission itself and no investigation can be held intc matters outside the dates set out. But the Conservatives have in mind starting a war of their own with Mr. Heenar the target. The veteran minister i: alleged to have operated his depart: ents for political purposes and to he is through enquiring into the forâ€" mer administration of the Lands and Forests ‘Dept. will go to jail if the information can be substantiated," said the premier.

But the Conservative party, it is rumoured, is planning to meet the Government on its own ground and if possible, have the scope of the proposed commission inquiry widened to include Hon. Peter Hsenan‘s administration of the lands and forests department from 1934 onward, particularly operation of the northern development branch, now under the jurisdiction of the minister of highways.
