(hsesday, Fal. 2i 3vd The Pr";me Minister promised the deputatio§$ consideration of their appeal. The proposal is that the two Provinces should share jointly in the project. Argument was that the *"bonne entente" spirit now exist-- ing between Ontario and Quebec would be more solidly cemented by such an undertaking. A deputation from the Town of Hawkesbury waited on Premier G. Howard Ferguson yesterday, asking his supbort to a proposal to erect a bridge over the Ottawa River be-- tween Hawkesbury and Grenville on the Quebec side. Bonne Entente Spirit Suggests New Bridge Mr. Newman thanked the Govern-- ment for the "highways" work done in his riding last year, but said that it was so much "waste," in view of the fact that it was practically all repairs, and washed away with the first heavy rain. He suggested several roads as prospec-- tive highway routes which he thought would bring increased tourist traffic to the North, and would easily earn, in a short while, the cost of their under-- taking. Mr. Newman painted a bright x:,icture;l of the "highlands of Ontario," wlth' their irresistible appeal to tourist trat--| fic, and said that if the Governmenq gave proper attention to this traffic' the estimated $80,000,000 in revenue to the Province of last year would be !doubled another season. He urged pre-- cautionary measures to safeguard the 'gamc fish in Ontario waters from de-- pletion; charged the Government with | making a "mistake" last year in in--. creasing the deer season from 15 days to one month; and, while not exactlyl advocating an increased bounty for| wolves, intimated that something might be done in the way of organized "hunt.s"; to cut down the ever--increasing num-- bers of these deer--slayers Algonquin Park, he contended, was but a play-l ground for the wolves, and "a mighty gocd spot" in which to launch a hunt. The fact that speakers on the Gov-- ernment side of the House have kept rather tight--lipped to date on the "wet" question is taken to indicate that the Attorney--General has up his sleeve thei single--shot answer with which the Gov--| ernment intends, if possible, to down the Opposition rush. Incidentally, Col.| Price will tell just how much money was spent in liquor in Ontario since the "control" law went into force, and| will supply a grist of other statistics dealing with "Strong Man'" Hanna's $20,000--a--year job at University Av-- enue and Dundas Street.

"Flecing from the wrath to come," was the picture Mr. Oliver painted for the Government Leader. FERGUSON IS FLEEING FROM WRATHTO COME, THINKS U.F.O. MEMBER \\'\u» SA a y / \"e--\D '2.'3\(4 jdo everything in his power to make |the new law as good as possible. He !admitted that the Liquor Board, "stuck" for a good storse official up his way, {had written him asking him to get a man, and he had got him--the best man, too, he could select for the job. He had thought it his duty to do so. On the question of liquor law, Mr. Newman said, he had abided by the will of the people as expressed at the {last election, and, while a lifelong (temperance man, a tectotaller, and a 'man who superintended a Sunday !school and went to church regularly, ; "and am not ashamed of it," he would Then he came to his fondest sub-- ject, that of agriculture. He foresaw the future of this industry not as H. S. Colliver did, in producing more hens and cows, but in developing markets. F. R. Oliver (U.FP.O., South Grey told the House of a visit to the North Country, and made particular men-- tion of the Algoma District. He had noticed, he said, many "poverty--poor farms." Farmers who had sold prod-- uce to lumber camps had, with a shift-- ing of the lumber business, lost their markets. Many were "just eking out an existence," and Mr. Oliver hoped that the Government would make some attempt to aid them by moving them to better lands. On the other hand. he had been impressed with the many igaoog agricultural districts in the North-- nd. Then he brought to the attention oi the House the suggestion that there should be some system whereby urban centres would contribute some financial balm to the farmers whose sheep were killed by dogs. It was, he said, the township that pays. Yet dogs that slaughtered the flocks were owned in urban centres. "This should be looked into," he told the House. "Milk, mind you." stressed the speaker, '"instead of that dirty, nause-- ating thing we are now having thrown up to us--'beer by the glass.'" Mr. Newman had great faith in the youth of the present day. He thouzht it could follow no better guiding star than young Lindbergh, who filew the ocean with a few sandwiches, and "with no flask on his hip," and whn», when he landed in France, asked for "no wines of France," but a bath and 2 bottle of milk. "Milk, --mind you." stressed the Mr, Newman delights in color--pic-- tures, and at this juncture he took the House with him on a word jaunt to the clay belt, which he described as possessing the finest soil he had ever seen, A wonderful country, with won-- derful possibilitics. "The mines in Ontario," he pointed out, "are bound to go some day, but that great agricultural _ land up |there "I think, in some respects," said Mr. Newman, "that this new law has done gOOd." Loud desk--banging from the Govern-- ment side of the House. "But I know," he went on, "more liquor is being druni: in Haliburton right now than ever under the Ontario Temperance Act." Mr. Newman quoted statistics to show how brewery and distillery stocks had jumped sky--high since the act went into force. 'This, he said, was a sign that '"steam was up" and that liquor was pouring out into Ontsrio at a faster rate than ever before. No Flask on Lindbergh's Hip. Supports Policy. The North Victoria member brought chuckles of delight from the Govern-- ment benches when he supported the Government's proncunced policy of "up with the gas tax and down with the price of_ motor markers"; and Hon. William PFinlayson's arrangement to transfer families from the unfertile land of Haliburton and North Victoria to the clay belt of the North,. "These families love their old homes," said Mr. Newman. "They intend to go slow at first, but they will go." will remain as long as the sun shines and water runs."
