The Ontario and Dominion
Timber Policies Contrasted",
The Province lute realized so far from,
the bonuses obtained for timber limits
nearly $0,000,000 ($0,860,602), besides
ground rents and timber dues. The
amount realized, including rents and
timber dues, according to last printed
papers, is nearly 010,000,000 ($16,746,620),
This large sum, as i have already intim-
, vied, has helped to enable grants to be
shade in aid of important railways, and
for the ereotion of buildinge and other
Works needed for the public service, To
get the beat prices for the timber limits,
timee and prosperity have been chosen
for the solos ; the sales have been largely
advertised ; they have been made by..
auotion ; the limits have gone to the
highest bidders, whether these bidders
happened to be political friends or politi-
cal foes ; and by all these means the
highest prices going at the time of the
sale:tor before the sales have in every in
stance been obtained. The way of our
opponents in dealing with the limits of
the Dominion) where unhappily they have
had power, has been different, Then
sales, as a rule, have brought a mere
song ; they have not been advertised be-
fore hand ; have not been by auction
have been made privately, and the pur-
ohaeere, as a rule have been political
friends of the Dominion Government, or
the associates of political friends, often
members of Par]iamenb, and not persons
engaged or intending to engage en the
manufacture of lumber. These persons
aro allowed to -buy at nominal prices in
order that.they may put either into their
own pockets or into the political election
fund the difference between what they
pay and what would be 'obtained if the
sales wore conducted like those of the
Reform Government of the Province.
To prevent enoh scandals in future, Mr.
Blake, in 1882, moved in the House of
Commons that 'it is expedient to apply
the just principle of public competition to
the granting of timber limits," and the
motion was negatived by a party vote.
The party wished to retain the power of
rewarding in this way political friends or
of obtaining money for elections.
Take a few well-known cases Musket.
ting the system pursued by our political
opponents where they have power.
Take, for example, the case of what is
called the White Fish reserve was one of
the limits sold by the Province in 1872,
and before my Premiership. The land
was then supposed to belong to the Prov-
ince. The price obtained at the sale was
$0,000, or about $100 per square mile.
The locality was at that time wild ; there
were no railways of which advantage
could be taken, and the limit was, in con-
sequence, difSeult of access. All these
circumstances affected the value. The
Dominion Government afterwards dis-
covered that the limit was an. Indian
reserve, and, in 1885, they resold it
privately and secretly, without advertis
ging, without communication with us, and
without our knowledge. The limit bad
increased in value since 1879, the C. P. R.
having, in the interval, been constructed
through the limib mid the country open-
ed up, good facilities created for getting
in supplies and getting out logs and
timber ; and there had been no depreeia..
tion in any other respect. Yet, with all
these reasons for an increased price, in
1885, what did the Dominion Govern.
mane accept from their friend who pur-
chased ? It is almost incredible bob
the undoubted foot is, that not only did
they not demand an increased price, but
they did not demand or obtain one-tenth
of the sum wbioh our sale of thirteen
years before had produced ; in fact not
much more than one -thirtieth. In a
word, the trifling sum of $816 was accept-
ed instead of the $9,000 which we had trot
thirteen years before, or 98.50 a mile in-
stead of our 9100 a mile. There is no
pretence that this sale can be defended as
correct or proper. The purchaser shortly
afterwards sold for 915,000 the interest
which he had bought for 9816, and in a
short time afterwards there was a re -sale
at a still larger sum.
Then again take the case of Htmter's
Island, This island was in the disputed
territory, and contained a large guantity
of valuable timber. Long after the award
bad been made deciding the island to be
within our boundaries, and while the
Dominion Government was, notwith-
standing, disputing with us as to the title,
that Government undertook, without any
communication with us and without ad-
vertising to sell this limit also to a num-
ber of persons and without exacting any
bonus whatever. The purchasers fnz-
mediabolyafter their purchase put the
limib into the market at 9600,000, end
would bave got the sum from Chicago
purchasers, but bite intending purchasers
discovered time that the Ontario Gov-
ernment claimed the island, and they
therefore declined to pay. What the
Dominion Government had attempted
was to give away without any bonus a
s.. property estimated at 9000,000, The
Province could not stand that way of
dealing with the property of the Pro -
vine,
Take again the scandalous purchase by
Mr. ilykert. The gentleman was at the
time a member of the Rouse of Commons,
and he got at private sale, without any
bonus, a limit for which he and his
partner in the transaction almost imme-
diately afterwards received 9200,000.
This was note in Ontario territory.
The sworn evidence in the McGreevy
case shows that the parties who get
wrongful profits in transactions with the
Government are expected to turn over a
large share of then wrongful profits to
the election purposee of the party, and
VIM they do so: accordingly,—Sir Oliver
Mowat, at Whitby.
The natural gas supply obtained in
Buffalo from Canada is said to be running

THE LATE PATRICK BELLY.
Death has removed another of Huron's
pioneers in the person of Patrick ifelly,
of Blyth. Probably there has not been a
more prominent or progressive citizen in
making the splendid history of the past
than the subject of this brief sketch. For
some time Mr. Kelly had suffered from
au inward affection, water on one of the
lungs, we believe. He had visited his
native home, Ireland, last year, without
permanent relief, Later on, and up to a
few weeks ago, Mr. Kelly was in consul-
tation with eminent Canadian physicians.
All was in vain. He passed to his reward
011 Wednesday of last week at his home
in Blyth. The Iate Patrick Kelly was
born in Tipperary comity, Ireland, in
1882, being the eldest of the family.
Along with his parente he emigrated to
this country in 1847, settling in the town.
ship of Fitzroy, near Ottawa. Six years
later the family moved to the township
of Morris, where the present comfortable
homes were hewn out. The deceased
was a.man of great nerve, indomitable
plunk and courage, and passed through
all the hardships incident to pioneer life.
His long votive and honorable career from
the logging field to the comfottable farm,
from the berm to the village and business,
from municipal to Provincial and Domin-
ion politics made his name a respected
'household word extending far beyond the
county of Huron. For over seventeen
years he was reeve of Morris and Blyth,
and was held in the highest esteem by
his fellow -workers in the County Council.
He was for the usual term Warden of
Huron, and contested West Huronagainet
the Hon. A. M. Boss. He was an im-
portantfactor in securing the Leaden,
Huron and Bruce railway through this
section. He was a thorough business
man and for many years carried on ex-
tensive htmber and flour mills in Blyth.
The village owes much to the deceased
for its present standing and prosperity.
He was one of the principal promoters in
securing fire protection and electric light
for the village. The deceased accumulat-
ed a fair share of this world's goods and
Itis family ars well provided for, The,
late Mr. Kelly wee twice married, his
first wife being dead many years and bis
second four or five years, Heleavee three
of a family—one son, John B:, who has b
been a partner in the business for some p
years, and two daughtore, Maggie and
Annie ; also Ave brothers end two sisters, 0
In polities the deceased was ono of those h
staunch Conservatives who never con- 0
descended to sacrifice his pprinoiples—
party or country, both of wbioh he loved m
and ahvays worked for. Hie time and
means were never refused to legitimately s
advance either. And he exhibited the Mo
same spirit locally in advancing 131yth's
best interests. The funeral last Fridayeves the largest ever seen, probably, in b
the county of Huron. There wore ninny g
