Es mute 3 100 ANQTHER PDA;! FOR THE COLONIZING OF THE NORTH Here is another plan for the colonâ€" ization and settlement of the North Land. Like all, the otherâ€"plans it has much in its fa(our' and much against it. x The International Tourist Associaâ€" tion has petitioned the Ontario Govâ€" ernment for a grant in fee simple of ten townships, half d,f each of these to ‘be adopted by a county in the southern part of Ontgrio. The object is to get settlers to go to the land in Northern "Ontario, and the project has the backing of manx mayors and war, dens_ representing the organized counâ€" ties and section of the other part of the province. [ 4 It‘ is planned to first establish in each township on a farm of 160 acres a building suifable for municipal, reâ€" sidential, hospital and library purâ€" poses, â€"The association agrees to clear on each square mile ten acres and! to build thereon a suitable "house for the settler. ‘Roads will be.opened up with the aid of a loan from the province. WThere are, of course, commendable thing"fibout this scheme. But,â€"and it is a hig but! 4 Before more land is opened for aciâ€" ive settlement the great meed is for proper attention, consideration and aid to the land in the North already under settlement. The hardy and darâ€" ing settlers of.this North Land have had no easy time by any means. They are still in position where intelligent assistance is desirable. ‘Fhe need is nop sa much for‘¢ model communities"" to be opened, as for the present setâ€" tlers to be given a little assistance in making , their districts into model places for liting. : The settlers have already proven their courage, their reâ€" sourcefulness, and their love of the country. Just a little of the right kind of assistance at the right time would be oft inestimable assistance to theim. . They ‘have never received a ‘Square deal; . Before talking of ideal conditions for new communities the oldâ€"timers ~should be given a. fair show. *Within the past few weeks, as one passing example, a number of setâ€" tlers; in the North Land have been harassed by notice from the Governâ€" ment that unless certain fees due are paid â€"instanter they will lose their places. All this, after all their hard work and effort, and Following a parâ€" ticularly dull and trying winter. Beâ€" fore considering any new settlements, the existing communities have a half chance for a fair deal. * THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE Annual Meeting of the Schumacher Mine Co., Held Last Week.
