At present the settler on the pubic lands had no power to prevent the inm- berman from coming on to his land and taking the pine. He related several cases which had come under his notice, among them one of 'tt man who after having settled ten wars on a lot had sold tho pine believing he had a perfect right to do tlo, but the 'di;GrGiis'iiifirii proceedings against hip...

The policy of the Government would be to endeavor to prevent any clashing be- tween the interests of the settlers and the lum- bercrs. lie did not believe that those two inter- ests were in avg way hostile. Mr. ARDAG said his object in asking for those details was to know what lands had been sold; however his object would be attained if tho rc- turn: w hich the hon gentleman premised were supplied. -..

Mr. marshes said that there had been cases of pretended settlers coming upon the land and making small clearances, simply for the Pl" Foee ot obtaining possession of the pine; he thought t was the duty ot the Government to preventthat from being done. In his experience or the Crown Lands Department he could call to mind no case of a bone 6/16 settler being harshly or unjustly treat ed. l Mr. BROOKE gave the name and address of the case he had referred to; and added that it he were to relate all the cases of 1t1,,"iitl11it', that he had I heard of, he would take up all: t 0 time of the House.

A eutlsfacuon nuu "Irlcu . non. Mr. CAMERON said that, it was impossible:, _ to p,i1 e decisions between claimants in these cases without giving ode-nee to some. The t ',aimg of hotlls'ls required mort favorable col sidcmtion. but they were not entitled to what they had not been promised. He knew hundreds of cases of men who had gone on to lands tuult for settlement in order to get ponies- Mon of the timber. It would not do to adopt a. wholesale a) stem without regard to the real nature ot the lots. The policy proposed by the late Gov- ernment was to offer the timber liceDSes by public auction no as to secure their fall value. Much of the land included In the free grunt had valuable I timber. in om which large amounts of revenue might be obtained; as a proof of that thcv found that the public auction of the timber licensee fetched the large sum of $118,000 tor the more get- mission to cut the timber, in addition to un er- taking to pay double dues 115mm the logs. Was it rightthat a hardwood lot an a pine lot should be placed on the Sumo terms. when the timber on the former would have no marketable value and the latter would be worth perhupa a thousand dollars? He would recommend the hon. Commissioner to study the matter carefully before promising what he would fiilil perhaps he could not perform: Hon.
