REPLIES TO FERNOW
Professor Sharply Dealt With by
Hon. Mr. Hearst.
SURVEYS MORE RELIABLE
"Hasty Inspection" on Motor -Car
Does Not Weigh For Much Against
Exhaustive Research of Many Ex-
pert Parties In Northern Ontario
-Both Soil and Timber Have
Been Reported Good.
TORONTO, Jan. 27. -Prof. Fernow's
report to the Conservation Commis
sion regarding the conditions in New
Ontario was "loose talk" in the opin-
ion of Hon, W. H. Hearst, Minister
of Lands, Forests and Mines, in a
statement issued Saturday.
Dr. Fernowy, after a trip along the
Transcontinental on .a motorcar, said
"probably" 50 per cent. of the area
does not contain any wood and "prob-
ably" the salve percentage of it is
undesirable under present conditions
to open for settlement.
Hon. Mr. Hearst, in his reply, al.
ludes to the superficial nature of the
survey. of 20,000.000 acres and reviews
the history of the exploration of the
"clay belt." Ten parties of expert:
were sent nut in 1000 and went over
the ground thoroughly, and found
three-quarters of it excellent unbrok-
en land. Since that time several ex-
haustive surveys have been made and
the investigators agree that the soil
from mans eamples taken is as gorxl
as, if not butter, than that of 010
Ontario. The testimony of these care-
ful observers, who spent months in
that country ex -minim, its capabili-
ties, say, Mr. Ilearst, roust be taken
to eutw•eiglt any evidence picked up
in a casual and rapid railway trip.
"With respect to the timber - the
estimate of the exploration of 1900
was that there wee in that region
288.000,000 cords of pulpwood spruce,
iarlcpire and poplar. Tlisre is very
little red and white pine in the terri-
tory, as it lies north of the pine belt,.
but there are large quantities of good
spruce.' and jackpine., of sawlog size,
which are of much value for timber,
ties, etc., beside an enormous quantity
of timber suitable for pulp and paper
making.
"With respect to the criticisms and
suggestions, Prof. Fernow states that
es soon as townships are surveyed
they are opened by the Department
for settlement without deferentiation.
This statdntent is mite incorrect and
is based on. ignorance of what is the
policy and practice of the Department.
"The suggestion of the professor that
a classification of lands regarding
their fitness for farm use be made and
settlers Itopt out of undesirable por-
tions is, as already explained, made
in ignorance of the fact that this is
the law and the practice of the De-
partment.
"The professor says that itis a mis-
conception that the whole country is
immediately fitted for actual settle-
ment. He sets rep a man of straw.
We know the country must first be
opened up by roads, etc., before settle-
ment can flow in, and five millions
of dollars have been appropriated to
carry on the opening of this and oth•
er parts of the back ooltntry, and the
work is now in active progress. What
we have said is that the soil is there
and when the country is opened up
by roads, it will be a magnificent field
for settlement."

Manitoba Glad of Federal Grant,
What There Is Of it.
WINNIPEG•, Jan. 27."We could
have made good use of more, but we
are very grateful for What the Dom-
inion Government is giving us," said
Hon. George Lawrence, Minister. of
Xgrioulture for Manitoba, Saturday,
discussing aid to agriculture legisla-
tion introduced in the Commons on
Friday by Hon. Martin Burrell.
Mr. Lawrence said the Department
was in a "receptive mood," and de-
clared this was only the second in-
stance when it had received any aid
from the Dominion Government. 'Tho
late Government never gave us any-
thing," he Said. '
"I had thought," continued the
Minister, "that possibly the grant
would be based on the amount of
money expended by the provinces en
agricultural work, and that the older
provinces would ret Jess than they
are getting, and tee newer provinces
more."

LONDON, Jan. 27. -The Cabinet
council which • assembles to -day has
to decide the momentous question as
to how to deal with the dilemma caus-
ed by the Speaker's ruling on the
franchise: question. This ruling, whieh
was made Thursday in answer to a
question asked by Andrew Bonar Law,
leader of the Opposition, was to the
effect that if the form substance of
the bill were materially changed by
amendments it should be withdrawn
and a 111210 bill presented.
Such strung, conflicting opinions
have been provoked by the thorny
problem of the women's vote that
fere have begun to be expressed est
to 'whether the Government will be
able in weather the storm. It is faced
on the one hand by the suffragists

LUNACY IN LONDON i
Interesting details as to the number
of lunatics in London and the causes
of insanity are contained in the re-
port of the Asylums Committee of the
London County Council,
In Linden's ten asylums according
to the report, ,there were 20,429 tuna- I
tics. Of 3,000 patients admitted dui- r
ing the fiscal year S00 are classified I
as hereditary lunatics. Another 300
come under the category of "alcohols.,
hereditary," whilst 700 drank them-
selves insane. Privation and starva-
tion mode eighty-four ight •-four mad.
A. table as to the occupation of pa-
tients shows that insanity is more
prevalent amongst those who work
with their hands than with those who
use their brains. Of 1,700 women ad-
mitted 442 were domestic workers
and, 934 of 110 occupation, these lat-
ter including housewives. There
were 166 in the "dress" industry. Only
forty-six women placed under "pro-
fessional occupations" could be said to
be brain wo1".ccrs, all the others being

DARING COSSACK \SAID
Enrolled a Reelment of Men Hoping
•tc Invade Persia
Mirza Poltyjaeff, a good lookin;;
young Cossack Woman of South ]Rn--
sin was frustrated in her plans to tat
a Cosseacit regiment into Persia.
Having collected her men -all young
Cossacks who knew how to shoot and
fight -she wrote a letter to the local
Ataman, or Cossack chief, for a pass-
port to leave the country, saying;
"As a Cossack born and bred I can
no longer bear the disorder that
reigns lie Persia and therefore have
raised a regiment of Cossacks to go
and put down the anarchy there, i
hope you will allow us to march, as
1
Fitton as possible."
Her disappointment was intense
when the Ataman refused her request,
saying that there would be interna-
tional cuuiplieotions if she invaded
Persia. But he' showed much sync-
pathy with her true Cossack spirit.
She continued' drilling her men in hope
of being allowed to go at a late•' date.
