Globe of Wednesday last has the following interesting news item : “ Rspresentatives of a group of Canaâ€" dian and United States financiers laid before members of the Provincial Gov- ernment yesterday a. proposal for the. purchase of 1,000,000 acres of land in New Ontario, north of the height of land. They desired to buy the. land en bloc, and otl'erod for it $1,000,000 in all, or $1 per acre, which is 50 cents per acre more than the set price of land purchased for settlement in the north. On behalf of those advancing the proposition a will- ingness was expressed, it is said, to on- tcr into such terms respecting payment for the land, settlement conditions, etc., as the (-‘vovcrinnent. might deem neces- sary. The offer will not be entertained. and the parties making it were informed to that effect without delay. They were told that the Government did not think it advisable to tie up such a large are. of land, particularly as a great portion of the territory sought will be tapped by the Temiskaming 8: Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific railways, and that on the completion of those railways a considerable influx of settlers of the best class might naturally be looked for.” The stand the Provincial Government has taken on this matter will be approv- of by all right thinking people, irresâ€" pective of politicc. The only persons to Lhavc any land in New Ontario, or anywhere else, are those who want to live on the land and work it. Wednes- day‘s Globe says : “ Premier Whitney has taken the right course in refusing to sell one million acres of land in New Ontario for one million dollars. The retaining of this land for the actual users, free of entan- glements or obstructions by intervening purchasers, is a sound policy which ‘ should never be abandoned. A company holding a million acres would be an ob- struct-ion rather than an encourage.- ment to settlement, and a burden in- stead of a help to the actual user. It is beside the issue to argue that it is only by finding purchasers that such a land company can make a profit. The most potent need of the company in making profits is to advance the price, and evâ€" ery dollar of advance is an obstruct-1011 to settlement. The land is there, and it will not leak away through the cracks nor drift out to sea and sink simply be- , cause it is not owned by any company. it will be there and freely avaiial.)lc at a reasonable price for every settler dosiâ€" rous of locating. Under Government su- pervision the settler will be dealt wrth in the interests of settlement and pro- ductive occupation. His welfare willbe a special concern in the administration of the land. Under corporate manage- ment methods would be devised, altered and manipulated in the interests of the company. t is infinitely better to keep the land policy under public control and amenable to changes in the public int-er- l q t Village Council.

By selling a million acres of land to a company, the Government would create a powerful land interest winch would immedia tely become become a po- litical force directed toward modifying the Government‘s policy regarding other land available for settlement. The own- ing corporation coming in between the settler and the land is not only needless but burdensome and injurious, and Cl ght not to be created.” Fraud Case Falls Through. The Court of the General Sessions held the last sitting yesterday (Sep. 26), when the charge against Cartinill of conspira- cy to defraud Henry Moss was dismissed, iartmill being declared “ not guilty” by the grand jury. This case is one that has created wide: spread interest, especially around Kinâ€" mount, where the farm concerned in the deal is located. As everybody knows, the land in Snowdon township is any- thing but'fertile, they land being extreme- ly rocky. John Henry, a son-inâ€"law of Cartmill, owns a farm in that district. Through Cartmill it was bought out. 'I-lonry showed Moss, the complainant, samples of ore taken, it was represented, from his farm, and assayed by a Tor nto assayer, who found traces of valuable minerals in it. Moss immediately be- came interested, and the deal-followed. The complainant had property in Toron- to Junction worth $1,700. This he ex- changed for the Henry farm. Besides this, he assumed a mortgage of $700 and gave another mortgage of $1,800, thus paying $3,400 for the farm, which grew nothing but an abundant crop of rocks and brambles. The mortgages of 81,700 were sold to another man and “areas useless as that," as the man said in the witness box, snapping his fingers. Moss found out, his mistake later, and the charge of conspiracy to defraud fol- lowed. It had been brought. up in sev- eral courts before being settled here:â€" Post. Mâ€" Tiie Fenelon Fair. .
