Department Telephone 86 DAILY EDITION Saturday, Sept. 5, 193C SETTLEMENT OF CAN ADIAN LANDS Saskatoon will be.the scene ol an Empire- settlemen convention .commencing September 23 and lasting for three. days. The primary aim of the gathering seems to be to try to arrange a plan whereby the overcrowded condi tions in the United Kingdom may be relieved, and the sur plus population be settled in Canada, under a wholly new schemeof land settlement whereby the.new settlers would be trained, in this country before being left to themselves and returned home if not found suitable or if they desire to go. That plan is known generally as the Hornby plan and. is being, advocated by Brigadier General. Hornby all of his time and much of his money being expended in forwarding the plan and making efforts to perfect it Many prominent British people are willirig to put money into the scheme and an effort is now being made to get the British government , to' do the greater part of the financing. So far as Canada, is concerned, it is pointed 'out by the backers of the scheme-that the. people in this country drawing relief are mostly people who are not adapted to life.on the land and who do. not want to engage in farming As long as it is assured that the new settlers will not drift into the cities to swell the ranks of the unemployed no objection to the plan should come from labor and from a business point of 'view it is pointed out by the backers of the' plan that it would immeasurably increase the business ot the country once. the plan, became operative. The success of the plan, it seems to us, will depend very largely on. the-people engaged m the work of organizing managing and supervising it. MEANS OF RETREAT The.sage of New Hazelton: criticizes the Daily News for suggesting that Prince Rupert people might need , the highway as a means of retreat from a possible. enemy He says that usually Canadians do not retreat. And yet we think if an enemy were bombarding Prince Rupert, a place that, is wholly undefended except for skeleton mil tia units without guns, the said sage would wish to retreat and take, the mpmbers of his household, with him, and he would find it difficult to take refutre at Hazelton with out. a highway connecting that place with Prince Rupert.

On Peace Klver '.Fur Robbers j r PRINCE GEORGE, Sept. 5: A Cana'dian Airways- plane, with Pilot Forrester at the controls, took off from Prince .George on Sunday af-( ternoon for Fort. Nelson via FortSti John, with a full load of police .of-flciali- lntent on clearingup, the. details of the robbery of the Hudson's Bay Company post at Fort Nelson on July 12, when $30,000 ... . j worui-ol company iur aisappeacu. The Diana, carried Police Officer Armstrong .of Victoria, Sergeant Gammon, inspector T. Van Dyk and Constable Frank Cook of Prince George, and a radio ouiiu and operator. The plane load was so heavy that It was deemed neces sary to leave the mechanic behind. Although Bert Sheffield and Harry Courvolsier stand cnargea with the fur robbery, and have had their trial set for Thursday, Sep tember 17, it is evident the robbery could not ha-ve been pulled off by two men. The evidence secured by the police Is said to point to the fact that at least three men had a hand In it., . Thomas Clarke, the man in charge pf the post, was not in the "building when the robbery ipccurre'd. The three , men in the post were held up by two men and securely Ued. Their captors talked accomplices, and irom me weight of the fur stolen the two men who held up the occupants of the post must have had the assistance of at least two or three others. The moving of the fur from the post would require at least two canoes. The theory of the police is that one canoe used was that of Sheffield and Courvolsier, and that the second was an Indian's canoe which had been tied up at the post, containing two paddle and an axe, which was stolen. The two men charged with the robbery have entered pleas of "not guilty" and deny all knowledge of the crime. They had been trapping In the Fort Nelson district, and at the time of their arrest are said to have had $4000 worth of fur their possession, none of which is suggested formed part of the loot from the Fort Nelson post. Courvolsier It has since developed had the habit of keeping a diary of his movements. The entries in the diary would establish his innocence the robbery if the same could be accepted; but there was some thing unusual In connection with the diary. Courvolsier says, he kept his diary on birch bark, and when the bark became filled with entries he threw it away and began ovei again with a new piece of bark. The diary he had in his possession at the time of his arrest covered the day 'of the robbery of the Fort Nelson post and some days prio to it. Little Is- Known About all the police know defin itely about the Fort Nelson robbery Is that the post was raided anc $32,000 worth of fur. .stolen; and 11 appears as .a wehVplanned crime The fur stolen represented the Hudson's Bay purchases in the dis trlct for one year. The fur had been .baled ready, for shipment to London. Once a year, a vessel makes its way up the Llard and the. Nelson with supplies for the post and takes out the fur catch, generally arriving during the, month of July. As the post was raided on Sunday, July 12, there Is the suggestion the men who planned the, robbery knew the . furs had been balled, and that, the supply vessel. would be late In arriving. Whether thp stolen fur was moved by airplane or by horses It would have to be. moved In the first instance by canoe, In view of Its bulk and weight. That the .stolen, Indian canoe, was used to assist in the transport seems reasonable, and this suggests in turn that the bandits had fairly acurate knowledge as to hap penings in Fort Nelson. They would hardly plan a fur robbery without figuring out the transport end of their venture, and they could hardlv leave the matter of picking up an extra canoe- tpl 'SPORT YANKS GOING .
