One hundred and twentyâ€"eight thouâ€" sand three hundred and twenty square miles of land from the Attawapiskat River north to the Hudson Bay and west to the Manitoba boundary were surrendered in this way by the Indians of North=ern Ontario. Each one receivâ€" ad on the completion of the transaction the sum of $8. Every year thereafter when the officials from Ot:awa come north a payment of $4 will be made, medical examinations will be given and whatever is needed by wy of clothing and food if the year has been bad for huntâ€" ing. Even his children and his childâ€" ren‘s children will receive the annuity, for it goes on forever. And at many of the little villages the encampments which change as the hunting is now gocod and then bad, a log cabin will rise and to it the Indian children will come to be taught reading, writing and arithmetic. When the ckiefs and the hneadâ€"men found the provisions of the new treaty acceptable and signed their name or made their mark on the documents which had been prepared for this in Ottawa, every man, woman and child was given a small piece of cardboard on which the name, number and band of that particular Indian was inscribed.

It grew louder till it like the droning of a huge bee. Then down to the water slid an airâ€" vane, and from it stepped ashore the men from Ottawa. Only a few, not many as of old, and by water but by air, as the modern gold seekers, came this party of the King‘s councillors to smoke the pipe of peace with the red men. They brought with them docuâ€" ments telling how the Indian would exist in the fuiure.

Wigwams of deerskin appear just as they did many years ago when the Inâ€" dian first came in contact with the white man. Cooking fires send wreaths of smoke skywards. The place takes on the appearce of a remote Indian village, yet the Indians are dressed as you and I. Their gay crnaments and feathers have disampeared. Even for this occasâ€" ion, the biggest holiday in the year, thkey are no; brought out. The Norâ€" thern Indian dresses like the white man who lives in the bush. l:imself. Dal:ing even to 1664 there are records of agreements and treaties made with the Indians of New England while Canada was still under the French Government. Ontario Indians have become accusâ€" tomed to get their annual heritage from commissioners who arrive by plane. For several years a plane has taken the place of cance and portage. The "Big Bee" as the Indian calls the plane, cuis the trip that took at least three months by the old method, to about a third of that time. ew remaining parcels of land to the white man, recalls the treatment that the Indians have had in the past from the hands of various governmenis in Canada. As far back as 1670 in the reign of Charles II., protection to the Indians who desired to themselves under the British flag was assured by the various governors of the colonies acting on instructions from the King The paymaster of the party sits down at a table which has been hastily taken from a house at the post.

Thenâ€"the Government advises selling. The proâ€" ceeds of such a sale, usually part of a reserve, are kept in custody by the Dominion Government. There is at present more then $15,000,000.00 at Otâ€" tawa belonging to the Indians of Canâ€" ada. Most of this money comes from the sale of land, and the accumulation of interest of soldiers‘ ‘pensions and other money paid to the Indians. There are a number of Indians in Western Canada who, due to the sale of lands, receive in the neighbourhood of $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 a year. The Indian is learning the value of land to the whilte man. In the days when the red man lived alone on this continent, land was not held by them, but was common pisoperty. True, there were hunting grounds kept apart for various tribes by mutual agreement, but the Indian was nct a landowner as the white man, So, toâ€"day when he has vass reserves which he cannot cultivate alone, the Canadian Indian often feels it incumbent to sell some of it. The sales mean money for him and his desâ€" cendants, and he learned what money will do for him. The nearest approach to the Inâ€" dians of long ago are the natives of the North Land. Each winter they set their traplines and hunt for the furâ€" bearing animals. Competition from the white trappers is keen, but the Indian has the advantage that he can trap white beaver, while the white trader cannot. The catch each winter is takâ€" en down as in the days of old by canoe to the trading prosts, which have for many years been the outposts of civilizâ€" aticn.â€" Bartering takes place, but no longer is the Indian satisfied with the bare necessities of life such as flour, bacon, blankets and thetoccasional gun. There he differs from his ancestors. He must have canned food, phonoâ€" graphs, radio, outboard motors, and all the other little dooâ€"dads that he sees the white trapper bring in. The merâ€" chandise in the stores at the Hudson Bay Company is beginning to take on the appearce of that carried by upiâ€"toâ€" date departmen:ial stores. I have even been told by a pilot who has come in contact with Indian settlements on the north shore of St. Lawrence river, near i‘:s mouth, that automobiles can be seen parked in cottage front yards in some of these villages. There may no roads for miles around, but the Indian must have his new toy. The white man has an automobile. Why shouldâ€" not his red brother have one, too, if only to sit in it. Glasgow Evening Times:â€"Eighty enâ€" gineers on their way back to the Glasâ€" gow district owing to unemployment in America, have arrived at Plymouth from New York. They left Glasgow attracted by the high wages paid in America and for several years they did Weii in Detroit. Then the slump came and they lost their jobs. There is no "dole" in America, but any unemployed alien there can obtain a free passage home and the 80 men availed themâ€" selves of this privilege. One of them said: "Most of us have been out of work for six months, so we have come back to Britain, where we can draw the dole‘ or obtain poor law relief. There are thousands like us still in Detroit, and I should think we are the van of about 100,000 Englishmen out of work in America who will come him." Do not for a moment think that the Indians are pwor, or the Canâ€" adian Government is not giving them a square deal. There were new reserves established last year in the north land, reserves where the Indians who surâ€" rendered their land will still be the only inhabitants allowed. One square mile is set aside for each family of five Indians in the tribe at the time the treaty is signed. These reserves aAare solely for the red man, no white man may enter them without permission from the Government and the consent of the Indians. A case arose not long ag>, one of ‘these commissioners told me, when an Indian was asked his name and gave one which was not listed. Th comâ€" missioner had recollection ef having seen ths man before under mams. Ths man had lost his ticket and had therefore asked his name. But no trace of the nams he gave could be found on the list. It was a hard problem to solve for Indian was positive that that was his name and that only. So it could not be settled at the time. There was much correspondâ€" ance over the ma:ter when the commisâ€" sicner arrived back in Oiltawa and planes were stil running to take tne mail into the north land. PFinally six montEks later the Indian‘s name was established, the one tha; Ottawa had listed. The whol> trouble was in the Indian‘s pmnrcnounciation of the name zsiven him by a white man. When the treaty has been n~aid. the festivities begin. There are paid, the festivities begin. Therg are camp fires, dances, singing, chanting and all tke other ceremonials that the Indians have been accustomed to in years gons by. There is a feeling of happiness about the camp and old tales arg revived, old pals of ths hunt swap stories and one thinks of a convention. The next day the plane leaves, but the festivities go on, the trading store does a gocd business and then the camp gradually melts away, each family movâ€" ing back to continue whatever line of work it had been doing. the paymaster receive his money and get a medical examination. Their cardbcard ticket they pull from hidden of their clothing, carefully wrapped up. Some of the old folks carâ€" ry it on a string round their necks. Sometimes the commissioner asks the Indian his name, for it must be reâ€" membered that many of the namsos have been given the Indians by the reâ€" gistering commissioner from Ottawa. mins people whoe have been to the South this year on motoring trips have said that the Ferguson highway comâ€" pares very favourable with the roads in the South when the paved highways are left out of the reckoning. Onse Timmins man said he had been over a lot of gravel roads in the South this year, but taking it by and large he felt that the Ferguson highway was about as good as any of them, especâ€" lally if it was remembered that the road is a comparatively new one through new country. Last week The New Liskeard Speaker gave prominence to a statement made by a gentleman who motored here from Vancouver. This gentleman thought the Ferguson highway was the best road over which they had driven with the exception of the paved highways. In reference to this gentleman from Vancouver. The New Liskeard Speaker last week said, in part:â€" Occasionally there are complaints about the condition of some part or another of the Ferguson highway, and this may be all right as it may keep all concerned wGdrking to have the highway all along in the best possible condition all the time _ At the same time it is only fair that notice should also be taken of the flattering comâ€" meni‘s made about the Ferguson highâ€" way from time to time. Several Timâ€" mins people whoe have been to the South this year on motoring trips have said that the Ferguson highway comâ€" pares very favourable with the roads in the South when the paved highways are left cut of the reckoning. Onse he had never known it to be anything but cool in the Black Hills, but on arriving there the travellers found it was no cooler. In passing through the state of Nebraska they found the grassâ€" hoppers so thick that it was necessary to place a wire screening over the front of the carr to keep from plugging the raditator with grasshoppers. In that section the trees were stripped bare of bark and the,pests were comâ€" mencing to eat the fence posts. The travellers drove day and night, stoppâ€" ing only when it was found necessary to rest for a short time, and they found it cooler in the car than on the ground. They finally crossed over into Canada at the Soo and when they reached a point about a hundred miles West of Sudbury they found the weather much more agreeable. They report the Ferâ€" guson Highway as being the best road over which they drove on their extenâ€" sive trip with the exception of the paved roads." "Mr. W. D. Grant, brother of Mr. P. J. Grant, of New Liskeard, and Mrs. Grant, of Vancouver, spent a few days in town visiting and resting up after their trip by motor from the Western city. They left Vancouver on July 15, and during their trip encountered three days and two nights of 110 degree weather. In the Yellowstone Park they were told by a long time resident that The regular meeting of the town council is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 24th, commencing at 4 p.m. If he doesn‘t . . . well, for his sake and the sake of all the rest of us, let‘ be hopeful.
