"THAT MAY BE VERY TRUE."
LAND BOARD INCIDENT. A h'"l> «bmlfird of commercial ethics was demanded in a certain case by tho commissioner at a meeting of the Land u-uiu yesierday. A sondtor explained that a settler, appealing against forfeiture, had committed only a technical breach, and even this failure was due to his being compelled to leave hH I section in order to earn money. He had honourably discharged .his obligations so far as his poverty would permit. "That may be very true," remarked the commissioner, "but a still more conscientious man would not have taken up the land at all when ho knew he would be unable to fulfil his obligations. A great many people would like to take up country sections but refrain, because they know they cannot carry out the conditions."
