| The appointment of G. F. Kindred
mentioned in the GLOBE yesterday, is at
the head of the land department of the
Canadian Pacific, in which position he
will have to inaugurate system of oper-
atoms to dispose of 25, 000, 900 acres of the
best lands in the western provinces. 1t is
understood by his friends that while he
will theoretically devote himself to the
duties he has accepted, he felt when first
offered the place that he had ample occu-
patton in attending to his own property
But the largeness of the tract
with the honor of being rendered
it, was a temptation, and he
anticipates that when his department is
well organized he can gain time enough
to take care of his personal affairs. The
selection of Mr. Kindred for the position,
in view of his experience in disposing of
similar lands in Minnesota and Dakota
and his familiarity with the necessary de-
tails of the business, is regarded among
railroad men as fortunate one for the
| Canadian Pacific company.
| The GLOBES railroad reporter requests
citizens who feel interested in
the development of the New North
1
good to their fellow men to visit, some
day when there is large arrival of immi-
grants, the building on Slbley street,
fronting OH the passenger depot track,
which the st. Paul & Manitoba com pany
has leased and furnished for the shelter of
immigrants who are temporarily detained
in St. Paul. The company is quite liber-
al to these new corners and no one in St.
Paul has right to complain that it is not
more liberal, for no one-and no company
docs so much for them.
But for the sake of the
immigrants and for the good of st. Paul
and Minnesota, there ought to be larger
and better provision for them, so long as
the immigration is as large as now. These
people, as rule, leave home clean,
healthy and tidily clad. On the ocean
they are crowded and without facilities
for keeping clean. At quarantine or
Castle Garden they have brief time for
recovery from the ocean voyage. On the
long railway journey they experience
constant dust, heat and bad air. AT
St. Paul they generally have to stop a
few hours and might we'll stay a day
or two, if they could have the convent
ences of good shelter with facilities for
washing themselves and their clothes 1t
would be benefit to them, to the city and
to all the country upon which st. Paul
depends, if these people could be made to
feel on leaving here, on the way to their
new. homes, as if they had almost reached
home when they came to st. Paul. What
is wanted is building large enough
for their shelter, with all accommo-
dations they may need, and especially
such as the poorer people cannot afford to
buy outside. The building provided by
the St. Paul & Manitoba company might
answer for shelter. 1t is provided with
cooking range and other conveniences, as
well as furnished ward for invalids;
but more furniture, sleeping cots or
hunks, bathing facilities, and apparatus
for washing and drying clothes ought to
