Certificates are redeem able at the option of the directors. is acquired by the corporation from the insurance company or=trust comâ€" pany which has foreclosed, series A bonds are issued, covering the cost of land improvement. The series B bonds issued to the farmers and taken up by the original holder, will be redeemâ€" able before series A, as these bonds represent immediate outâ€"ofâ€"pocket money. The corporation has issued 1,000 shares of stock no par value, for purâ€" poses of control. It is forbidden to appeal to the public for funds or to list stocks on the market. When land Every effort Will be made to provide satisfactory settlers, to give reasonâ€" able help in the way of advances on anticipated earnings by the settlers, in the way of seed, fencipg, ettc. For these advances series B bonds will be issued. The corporation will work with the Canada Colonization Co., operated by the C. P. R., with its head office at Winnipeg. _ To the Canada Colonizaâ€" tion Co. is left the work of locating settlers in England, of bringing them to Canada and settling them on the lands controlled by the corporation. To work out the plan referred to a new company is being organized to be known as the Colonization and Finâ€" ance Corporation. This new corporaâ€" tion is the result of study of conditions and prospects by some of the mortâ€" gage corporations of Canada. The new corporation is fostered by the Dominâ€" ion Mortgage Association, which will be the holding company in the enterâ€" prise. | The basic idea of the new plan is the putting of selected settlers from the Old Land on lands in Canada that have been foreclosed for mortgages. The first argument against such an idea would naturally be that foreâ€" _closed lands would prompt the idea that at least one man had made a failure on these lands or there would not have been any foreclosure. _ Aâ€" gainst this may be quoted one paraâ€" graph in the outline of the plan of the corporation being established to carry out the new proposal:â€"*"The inâ€" terest of the corporation in the lands will not cease with the placing of the settler, but will continue by means of inspectors and financial advisors, proâ€" vided by the corporation for the beneâ€" fit of the settler, until the farm is placed on paying basis. The type of land will be studied in each case and the farmer will be given advice as to which crop will achieve best reâ€" sults This feature of the scheme will not only benefit the farmer but is the company‘s guarantee of payment of liabilities incurred by the settler." NNi iN NSA ie en 2000000000000 d 0i A new and unusual> plan is now proposed to assist the settlement of lands in Canada. It has features that promise to be of material advantage to settlement in general in Canada. Directly or indirectly it may work out to the benefit of this North Land, which certainly needs some detailed method of settlement different altoâ€" gether to any of the schemes tried in the past. A hopeful thing about the new plan is that it is backed by "big business" and yet so circumscribed that it must work out, successfully from the general standpoint before "big business‘" can make any money out of it. The new plan is said to have received the approval of Lord Lovat, British Under Secretary for the Dominions. Lord Lovat is understood to have studied the new proposal on his recent visit to Canada. The furâ€" ther statement is made in this conâ€" nection that the plan will be worked out in close coâ€"operation with the British Government emigration authâ€" orities. i Method Adopted by Colonizatlon and Mortgage Companies May Assist Settlement in Canada. NEW PLAN FOR SETTLERS ON FOREGLOSED LANDS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS3, ONTARIO ‘"Mr. Thos. Creighton and Captain Vance of the N.AM.E., flew in from the north Tuesday evening. They had made a circuit through the mineral belt and stopped at Lac du Brochet, a total of about 900 miles. Tlhiey ~reported that they encountered several fires in the north, and that visibility at times had been very bad. The weaâ€" ther was cold out there, particularly near the Barren Lands. They further reported that caribou were quite numâ€" erous at present just south of the Barâ€" ren Lands. Considerable trading is done at Brochet, there being four tradâ€" ing houses located there, the Hudson‘s Bay Company who have just recently built a new $11,008 store, Del Simons northern trader, Revillon Freres and Arthur Jan. During the trip they had news of the Count Tolstoy party, who are in the north country taking movâ€" ing pictures of the country. The party it was expected would reach the Reindeer Lake area about Christmas time, and come back to The Pas about February." The Prospector, of The Pas, Maniâ€" toba, last week says:â€"â€" Mr. R. R.
