Lack ‘of Employment

MANUFACTURING AND MIGRA- TION OUR ONLY REMEDIES.

Historicus.

There is no rubbing of.it out that our Province is sorely in need of a remedy for unemployment. This becomes more visible in the Sprin and l-‘all seasons than in the intervening periods, when conditions become settled down to “hard pail" either tllrollgh migra- tion to our sister provinces or to the United States. As yet there appears to be no plan ill sight for relief through manufacturing in- dustries. lt is true in the two‘ seasons nlllncll there is o spasmo-= dic demand for help on the land as a result of the now agricultural activities, but this is no sooner ended than our surplus help must find employment clsmvltere. At best it has only lasted about a month in each season.

Then comes a movement onward as stated llbovc. But the demand is always hampered on all sides. For Instance, what creates em- ployment on the land in our sister provinces fluctuates pretty much the same way and in the same sea- sons as it does at home, thereby causing stagnation in winter ex- cept at other classes of employ- ment such as mining and lumber- ug. Besides the rush that In past years enticed people to the United States has been almost completely checked by legal barriers against the movement of population toward that country. lt will be seen, there- fore, that the obstacles both natur- al and artificial against emigration are practically prohibitive, and are inevitably bound to become more

Confederation And . After Sixty Years Of Progress

THE CHALLENGE OF THE NORTH

‘Since Confederation the wilder- ness frontier of Canada hasientire- ly shifted. Then the prairies. which now sends a substantial represen- tation to the House of Commons, were known» only to Indians, fur traders, missionaries and a few ex- plorers. The first task of the new- ly formed Canadian government was to arrange for a transcontin- etal railway to link up the infant settlement ; in British Columbia and as astute men as lfidward Blake argued earnestly against the folly of wasting money laying a railroad across such permanently uniuhabiurble areas as the south- ern parts of the present provinces of Manitoba Saskatchewan and Al- berta. A3 late as 1874 Sir William IButler wrote a forbidding descrip- tion of the site of the present city of Prince Albert to prove that Eu- ropeang could never live there tho year round.

The wealth and habitability of the southern prairies are now common knowledge. To-day the] push is north. Northern Quebec and Nor- thern Ontario have attracted min- ers and farmers. Settlers are rais1 lng vegetables, grains, cattle and even fruits far north of Hazelton on the Skeena. Away to the north of Edmonton the fertile ‘Peace Riv- er Valley i5 rewarding its pioneers. The push to the north i5 continent wide, and is on flu» earliest. We dare not predict what, by the end of the century, will be the popula- tion of these great central regions.

Mr. Saunders says that the Act Is to be made "more workable" if the policy an- nounced by the Government should be defeated and he and his friends should gain office. But he has not yet explained the means by which It is to be made “more work- able." He has not given any guarantee whatever that thc conditions which the Rev. Mr. Taylor and the Rev. Mr. Raymond and other clergyman denounced and which thousands of lay men and women regret, will be improved. As to the Government, the people know that that‘ which they promise

In the course of conversation my friend asked the doctor if it were true that mental diseases were on the increase in the country.
