Smith, THE SETTLER AND THE PROPOSED PULPS EMBARCO Views Expressed by The Toronto Annual Dance of the Club to be Held Globe, with Comments by In Masonic Hall, Friday Evening Liskeard Speaker. i FPebruary 13th. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The New Liskeard Spenker last week gave front page prominence to the following,, the first two paraâ€" cranhs being from The Toronto ftlobe "Except in British Columbia, there is no export pulpwood from Crown: lands, unless possibly some special permit, practically all the wood goâ€" ing to the United States for manuâ€" facture coming from privately owned lands. _ Much of the pulpwood exâ€" ported is from the holdings of settâ€" lers who make a living from the sale of this wood while elearing their land The Royal Commission on Pulpwood estimated the number of these settâ€" lers as between 25,000 and 50,000, all over this ecountry. In Nova Seotia and Northern Ontairo these settlers receive from $5 to $6 a cord; in New Brunswick the figure sometimes runs to $10, while in Southern Quebec farâ€" mers are paid as much as $15 or $16 a eord. There is no doubt that the prospect of making a living from tlus pulpwood has induced many of these settlers to attempt to clear farms out of the forests rather than devote their efergies to prairie lands. It is stated that were it not for the sale of pulpwood, great difficulty would be expcmen('ed in getting men and women to pioneer in the forests disâ€" triets of this country. The Timmins Advam, a@a Northern Ont@rio papet, goes still further in atéting that if 'the market for pulpwood were eut off, or affeceted adversely in other ways, m a year or so settlers would have to dlseontmue 4s settlers. The same atâ€" lhtnde is faken by the New Liskeard tSpeakor and it is pointed out that the amount of pulpwood Shlpped anâ€" nually from settlers‘ lands is not a large fraction of the annual eut, but |1t is a lifeâ€"andâ€"death matter with the settler. In the event of an embargo, iOf course, the settler could sell to Canâ€" adian mills, but it would be only natural for these mills to take advanâ€" tage of the absenee of competitive markets and eut the pree to the minimum. We presume the average wages of pulpâ€"mill men would be $35 per week. Let the farmer have $25 per week for his labour, plus the value of his wood, and we believe that would suit him. Let the farmer have an open market or otherwise proteetion in the shape of a guaranteed price for wood, "It is estimated that the pulpwood now being exported annually would, if maunfactured in this country, give employment _ to _ 8,000 _ operatives, Balanced against this are at least 25,000 settlers who sell pulpwood,"‘ The foregoing is from the Toronto Globe, The Speaker does not want the idea to obtain that we are not anâ€" xious to buld up Canadian industries, but we do not want to have these new paper mills at the farmers‘ expense. If the manufacturers and farmers who have pulpwood could come to an agreement by which the farmer who sells pulpwood could get as much per hour for his labour in delivering this pulpwood as the man who works in the pulpâ€"mill gets, we believe there would be no objeetion to putting on such an arrangement hbhas been arâ€" rived at we stand for the 25,000 gsettâ€" an export duty. But unless or until lers as against the 8,000 pulpâ€"mill men. Last week a Timmins citizen who has relatives in North Temiskarming received a letter giving details of a rather bad fire at North Temiskamâ€" ing, but a fire that eould easily have been much worse. The fire broke out in the premises of O. Houle, on Tuesâ€" day morning, destroying his residence and the store and residence of Z. Caâ€" sa, as well as the stables of J. Dupuis. There was some insurance on most of the property destroyed, but, of eourse, there will be a net loss of quite a few dollars. In view of the fact that the town has no fire proâ€" tection facilities little could be done to check the flames. At one time it appeared as if the loss would be a very serious one. _ Bucket brigades worked hard, however, and eventualâ€" ly the fire was brought under control. When the fire was at its most danâ€" gerous state, there were many who felt that it would have been nice to have had a good sum of money inâ€" vested in fire protection, THREATENING FIRE AT NORTH TEMISKAMING The Northern News last week says :â€"Major **‘Billy‘‘ Weeks, of Englehart, seems to come by his municipal aspirations by right of birth. Tlis week ‘he received a cable of congmatulations from the ancient borough of Bridport, Devonshire, England, of which town his unele is mayor this year. _ Another unele is chief magistrate of a second English municipality. ‘SXATING PARTY BY THE A.5.0.

This will e on« of the best eveniny‘s for the month of Febrowry. Wm. Mac the Club If the Porcupine team bad finished out the season,â€"even though losing every single game,â€"there would be a tendency all through the North Land to compliment the boys on their good sportsmanship and on the way they stuck at the game despite repeated defeats and discouragement. No one should find any fault with the Poreuâ€" pine boys for the season‘s play. They have played hard, giving their best. They have never, laid back or shown discouragement or indifference. They have played the game and disâ€" played sportsmanship. Throughout the North Land this has been appreâ€" ciated, and it is pleasing indeed to note the friendly disposition shown the Poreupine boys by the other towns of the North. _ Here is one example. This is the report last week in The New Liskeard Speaker of last Wednesday‘s N.O.H.A. Semor match at Liuskeard :â€" ‘"Some years ago a bunch of New Liskeard _ eurlers played _ friendly gcames with Toronto Granites. In commenting on the visit of the Northern curlers, one of the Toronto dailies said ‘‘The New Liskeard eurlers are a better lot of fellows than curlers.‘‘ The same expression might correctly be used of the hoeâ€" key team which represented Timmins here on Wednesday evning. Owing to business engagements, we underâ€" stand, several af the regulars could not make the trip, and a weaker team faced the Liskeard Seniors, As a metter of fact, after the first period, the crowd rooted for the Timâ€" mins outfit, and howled with delight when a Liskeard man was laid off. At one. time Ken Carmichael and Austin were playing the whole Timâ€" mins team, the latter scoring just as Jones came out of the penalty boxr to make the third man. _ The Timâ€" ming men never seemed to get going properiy. In the first period New LiSkeard sci@red five times, Thompy getting two, Jones two and Spence one. In the 2nd period, Hoge made two, Spence one and Thompy two. During the third period Hogg seored three, Spence two, Austin _ one, Thompy one and Smith one. During the period the Timmins boys scored four times. Figure out the seore, and imagine you are working out a crossâ€"word puzzle. _ The Timmins team was as follows : goal Burke, det. McGillis, Borland; forwards, Davidâ€" son, Desermeau, Lavine; subs. Whisâ€" sell and MeDonald, The team repreâ€" senting Liskeard in the three games of the past five days was as follows : goal McCann; Defence, Smith and Carmichael; centre, Hogg; wings, Thompson and Spence, subs. Jones, Austin and Ouimet. Mr. Kuilpatrick, of Copperceliffe, refereed the game, and had too easy a tim to really deâ€" monstrate his ability as an arbiâ€" trator.""
