A radical change has taken place In our
system of disposing of the public lands in both
sections of the Province. There is graduated
scale Of prices ranging from 81 to about ~ cents
an acre. The prices are not materially different
from those which heretofore existed but the
conditions of settlement are entirely new, and OF
such nature as to render monopoly impossible.
Actual occupation is required in every case to be
immediate and continuous, the settler must clear
five per cent. every year for five years, and ne is
required to build house of not less than eighteen
feet by twenty. | have not observed in single
Provincial paper objection to these terms of settle
ment and the only objection have heard suggested
