These dealerts came in from outside and bought up large quantities of pulp wood from the setâ€" tlers.â€" Apparently, they offered highâ€" er prices or better terms to secure the pulp from the hds of local buyers, and as often happens in such eases the better terms prove to be the worst possible in practise. ~Settlers brought out their pulpwood and delivered it at the station, or had it eut in the hush ready for delivery, but the cheques promised on delivery have farled to materialize. â€" Many of the settlers deâ€" pend very materially on the proceeds of the winter pulp wood sales to carry them through the year on the farm, ard consequently those who have heen tied up by the fathâ€"breaking dealers are in a serious» plight financially. The Advance suggested some weeks aâ€" zo that the Government deal with the matter, bhut up to date nothing has been done. â€" The Government 1s not Iil go tnat Ing Uovernment dedl wiin the matter, bhut up to date nothing has been done. _ The Government is not supposed to be hackward in spending noxney or effort to atiract settlers here to this Lmd and surely no expense or trouble .shu.xld be spared to save them from disaster when they settle in thus country. In the â€"last aisswe of The Nortirland Post the matter is referred to in a paragraph reading:â€"*‘"‘ Mr. Jas Rowlandson, of Porquis Junction, was in town on Monday in connection with the pulp wood situation whieh is causâ€" ing cons 'iderabl“ {rouble all along the line, owing to the settlers being umable to get paid.
