Settler Condemns Agreement Made by Ontario Governâ€" ment with Booming Association. Settlers‘ Right of Access to Farms Prejudiced. Not Fair to Pioneers Along Mattagami River. _ Hon. Mr. Finlayson Should Have Safeguarded Settlers‘ Rights, Says Letter: Strenuous Objection to Use of Waterfronts for Booming The Editor, The Porcupine Advance: From time to time there have appeared references in the columns of your paper to the interest shown by the Hon. W. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, in the settlement of the North. The hon. minister has voiced his appreciation of the settlers and his admiration of their work not once but many times. It therefore comes aAs somewhat of a shock to find this pseudoâ€"supporter of the settlers lending all his personal efforts and the powers of his office to further a scheme which he was bound to know would hamper settlement and place an undue burden on the settlers themselves. This, howâ€" ever, the hon. minister has done, and it shows how little reliance can be placed on the statements of a politician out for the sole purpose of keeping his own end up. By what appears to be a piece of objectionable political jobbery, the Mattagami Booming Co. was given cerâ€" tain rights on the Mattagami river which enabled them to use the waterâ€" fronts of adjacent farms for logâ€"boomâ€" ing purposes. It did not worry the hon. minister a whit, nor the booming The following letter was recelvea this week by The Advance for publicaâ€" tion :â€" ker Ba Third Ave, TORONTO, ONT.

A policy of "hushâ€"hush" was folâ€" | lowed throughout the entire negotiaâ€" ‘tions; publicity was shunned like the ‘ plague, and none of the settlers conâ€" ‘ cerned knew the scheme was going through until they found their lands ‘ blocked. Mr. U. L. Acton, for many years a popular resident of Timmins, but reâ€" cently district representative for Kirk â€" land Lake and area for the McCollâ€" Frontenac Oil Co. was a visitor to Timâ€" mins last week, renewing acquaintances here and being heartily greeted by old friends. Rev. H. J. L. Wooley, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., known and admired for his bright historical sketches of Norâ€" thern Ontario, as well as for his service as a minister of the United Church, died at Sault Ste. Marie on Saturday in his 48th year. He had held charges as ministerâ€" at Utterson, Richards Landing and other places in Canada. He was born in Canada but educated in the United States, also holding pastorâ€" ates at Chicago, New Haven and Vanâ€" derbilt, before returning to Canada. Edgar Adshead, threeâ€"yearâ€"oid son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Adshead, of Haileyâ€" bury, was hit by a motor car last week, but apparently escaped serious injury. The little lad passed behind a coal car and came in front of the motor car, the driver having no chance to avoid the accident. In July, in response to a complaint to the Department of Lands and Forâ€" ests, the statement was forthcoming from the deputy minister that no authâ€" ority had been given the booming comâ€" pany to extend booms along the water front of my farm; yet, in March, four months before, as I later found out, the booming company had been furâ€" tively handed a license of occupation from the same department giving them this actual right without my knowledge. Such hardâ€"faced misâ€"statement of facts is certainly a cynical commentary on the methods employed by our govâ€" ernment officials. And presumably my rights as a settler were not even thought of in the whole shoddy transâ€" action. Long before the Fesserton people were on the river the departmnt had sold these farms and the settlers used the river, as it was, and still is in many cases, the only means of access to their lots. Now this line of communication is blocked by booms to the hardship of men and women who are giving yeoman service in the opening up of the country. Mr. Finlayson, in letter, says the lumber companies must not be hamâ€" pered in their work as they are deâ€" veloping the country. But can skinâ€" ning the timber off the country be callâ€" ed development? Is not the settler‘s work of immeasurably greater good to the country in that he leaves it in betâ€" ter shape than when he found it? But then he, of course, does not represent big money. Another point: Why did the Govâ€" ernment ignore Mr. Kenning, our local member, when they handed out this holeâ€"andâ€"corner charter? Had they asked an expression of opinion from him instead of going over his head they might have got an earful of hard facts against such an illconsidered acâ€" tion. Possibly this is just what the hon. minister did not want. It would be interesting to get the inâ€" side facts of the whole tawdry transacâ€" tion. That there is more in in than meets the eye is evidenced by the fact that for a yearly rental of but fifty dollars, the booming company acquires control of a stretch of waterway of over thirty miles and by doing so disâ€" possesses over a hundred settlers of their legal rights. This is the action of our hon. minister, the man who is such a friend of the settler that he does not hesitate to exercise the powers of his office to grab the main advanâ€" tage of many a settlerâ€"his waterfront â€"and hand it over to the greedy paw of a private company, so that this concern‘s coffers may be swelled. And all for the enrichment of the provincial revenue to the dazzling sum of fifty dollars a year. Again I wonder. The private company concerned, The Fesserton Timber Co. (controlling the booming company) has been more of a handicap than anything else to this district. The first thing they did when they started operating here was apparâ€" ently to try to beat wages down to the semiâ€"starvation level; and they haven‘t anything to boast of in the way of wages paid toâ€"day. Previous to their coming here settlers and lumbermen got on very amicably. Each seemed to see the other‘s viewpoint and acted acâ€" cordingly. But with the advent of the Fesserton outfit the oldâ€"time selfish overâ€"riding attitude of the lumbermen blazed out. Often in recent years the Mattagami river has had the appearâ€" ance of being a mere private adjunct of the Fesserton sawmill, and others used it just by the good nature of this concern, where and when the latter was pleased to allow them to do so. First and last a shoddy business and a shoddy crowd from the hon. minister downwards, and the more the general public gets to know of actions of this nature, the more easily can political blahâ€"blah and other matters be disâ€" counted.
