Boundary Line Between Newfoundland and Canadian Province of Quebec Long In Dispute. St. Johns, N. F. Recent surveys of Labrador which hnvo disclosed' Im mense resources of timber suitable far pulp and paper manufacture have led to n revival of efforts to bring about a determination of tho boundary lino between Newfoundland and the Cana dian province of Quebec. Tills line lias never been laid down by actual survey, and Its various defi nitions us given In the documents is sued nt Intervals in tho last century and n half nro so vague that govern ment olllclals do not know Just how much of Labrador belongs to New foundland nnd how much to Canada. That Labrador is rich In many nat ural resources, Including enormous wa ter power, has long been known, but the practicability of utilizing Its for ests for paper making was not demon strated until the world-wide paper shortage led to exhaustive investiga tions of the territory. This resulted in applications by pro moters to tho. Newfoundland govern ment for timber limits In Labrador.

The heads are too far apart for a buttle royal. sent to London Inter In the summer to discuss with eminent English counsel the preparation of a formal draft of Newfoundland's Labrador claims as opposed to those of Canada. Tho coast of Labrador was an noxed to Newfoundland in 17tt'S. Ten years later1, owing to dlillcultles nrls Ing out of grants made to a number of persons under the French rule, It was changed to Canadian Jurisdiction. In 1800 It was again transferred to New foundland, and has since been attached to that country. Tho difficulty crises over different Interpretations of tho words "coast of Labrador." One view Is thnt New foundland can clnlm only the f-nast be tween Blnnc Sablpn and Cape Chldley. with perhaps half a mile Inland, and that the rest of Labrador belongs to Canada. As defined In the letters patent con stituting (be office of governor of New foundland, tho boundary was described as a line drawn between Blanc Sablon and Cape Chldley, which would pass through the ocean In certain sections r.nd leavo large areas of tlie roast to the westward of the line and there fore not under Newfoundland Jurisdic tion. Many Newfoundland officials hold to the view that tho correct delimitation was made In n sessional paper Issued In this colony in 1801. Under the phraseology of this document New foundland would bo entitled to thou sands of square miles of the Interior of the Labrador peninsula- In addition to the coast. -t -"- ..

IS FAVORED LANK Western Canada Country Great Possibilities. of 8 si I, Climate, and Weather Condlllono All Factors In the Production of Unrivaled Fruit, Veactables and Flowers as Well as Grain. Ao recently as last month to be cor rect, It was the 18th of October, a time of year when one naturally looks Tor the "frosi uplm the punkln," and la Inclined to wander through the woods In search of the ripened nuts, mil ad mire the henutlful colorings that tho iiutumn.'tmosphere has bestowed upon the leaves; when one goes o Ills closet, or maybe his pawnbiokei. to find bls heavy clothing It was that I found myself the guest of n Western Canada housewife In her beautiful home on. the outskirts of the pretty little town of Moosomln, Sushttchcwnn. The din ner I That's what Mrs. Wilde called? It. I should have termed It n banquet. There were mallard duck, cooked to a turn, baked potatoes and such bjg,. mealy fellows they were, too cauli flower and say. did you ever taste one of those Western Canada caull llower? then dessert. What was tho dessert? I can see It now. Straw berries, strawberries that had been picked that morning. Help yourself to the cream and It was cream that Is cream. Rut what I wanted to write about was the strawberries picked oa the 18th of October. As I ate. and turned my bnck while a second help ing was plnced In front of me, I could not but think bow this goes to refutc tbe once accepted Idea that the cll mnte of Western Canada is such that the ripening of strawberries at any season Is one of the things thnt might: be looked upon ns next to Impossible. Fortunately it Is rapidly giving plnco to one which acknowledges thnt our ulster nntlon to the north possesses a Hltnnte that makes It quite possible to develop and ripen strawberries even In October. Rut there is more to add'. On Oc tober 14. Just n few days previous. Mr. A. R. Smith, nenr the same town, plucked a splendid mess of green corn from bis garden. Nenr Rocnuvllle, Saj-kntchcwon, wild rnspherrles wero picked during the same weelc. Tho fnrt nf rliinnlni' fruit nt tliln ilnto mnv , S(om of ,,, ,110innnf ,It when you- are told that corn did not suffer from- any vagaries of weather, more atten tion mny be paid to it. Tlie question of Western Canada's climate Is no longer the bugaboo It once was, nnd not so very long ago. cither, when it caused thinking people to think, nnd unquestionably prevented many from going to Canada who under other con ditions would have gone. In various parts of tills country, nt different state and county fairs, the government of the Dominion of Can ada, during the past few weeks. In stalled exhibits of the grains and" grasses grown In Western Canada, nnd' nt the same time showed fruits nnd vegetables that were grown there. None of these wos placed in compete tlon with the home-grown nrtlcle. Rut to Judges and others there came the full understnnd'ng of what It would mean to the local exhibitor If they were. The Western Canadian nnd mnny of the exhibits were grown by former Americans docs not lny claim to any special dispensation of Intelli gence in the mnttcr of the culture of the nrtlcles p!need on exhibition, but willingly gives credit to the soil, the cllmate, and such other Indigenous conditions ns the country ns a whole possesses, as being factors that bring about the largest yields of tlie best or J wheat, oats, barley, llax and rye, n wen as vcgeinmes. as is ioiuieu out by the gentlemen In charge of theso exhibits, and quite evident to all, the possibilities of growing vegetables and grain such as are shown can only exist where conditions such as have been mentioned exist. In speaking of eating fresh straw berries and green corn In the middle of October I should not fall to refer to the beautiful bouquets that ndorned the table, the sideboard, the window sills, and almost every other available vacant place In tlie room. Flowers I there were asters, phlox, gladioli, peo nies, popples, nnd I can't remember the nnnirs of them nil, but they were there. Taken right from the garden,, having n fragrance thnt gave the room troplcnl colors, nnd filled It with mur veiously delightful perfumes. It was a very pretty Bight. Then I went out Into tho garden, and took n photo of It. It wns simply wonderful. I asked tho good lady how she managed It. Sho said she bnd always been fond of flow ers. In her old home. In one of tho central states, she carried on garden horticulture, and had been acknowl edged successful. "Rut my I" she said. "I never got such bloom, nnd such a variety as I do diere." Sho admitted It wns a lot of work, the watering, tho weeding, tho hoeing, but such work was a pleasure. Well, such Is some of tho life In Western Cnnnda, and as I left the farm homo I concluded Hint much of i our surroundings are as we ourselves mako them. Advertisement.
