Point of yiew-Extent Of Territory.
Canadian Cor. Brooklyn Eaglel
The possession of Canada would give you
$500, 900 square miles Of additional territory
aSnd b, ,0O1 900 OF people OF course, much OF
this territory Is worthless, but that l. tho
case with every country of large size. not
excepting the United State4 Til, area OF
agricultural and timbered lands OF thu
Dominion is estimated at 100000 fquar
miles, which Is more than the area OF all
Europe, exclusive of Russia. OF this up
ward Of LOCO, ,O0) square miles is capable OF
the successful cultivation Of wheat. twenty
times the area Of tho stat, OF Nsw York.
Canada is now divided into seven prov
inces and five territories, and every one of
its divisions would form a state Of the Union
in the future. Prince Edward island, the
smallest division, Is little larger than the
state Of Delaware and has nearly as many
inhabitants. 1t does not contain a single
acre OF waste land and is in the midst Of the
finest fisheries in the world Nova Scotia
Bas an area moro than twice the siz) OF
Massachusetts,, but only 4i0, 900 inhabitants,
yet nature has made it another north Of
England in respect to mineral wealth. l.
has an unlimited wealth Of iron and coa'.
and nothing can prevent 1t from becoming
great center OF manufactures. New Bruins
with population equal to that Of Vermont.
has three times tho area Of that state anI
far greater resources.
The province of Quebec Is larger than any
state in the Union except Texas, and has
nearly I, 800 900 people. Like New Bruns
wick il has magniic,nt forests and lar 20
area Of arabic land. Ontario, with its 2,0Jo,.
600 Of inhabitant', would become the sixth
state of the Union in population and its area,
even without the new territory recently
awarded TO IL, as large as New York and
Pennsylvania combined There is not in all
America finer region than the peninsula
Of Ontario lying between Georgia bay,
Lake Ontario, Lake Huron and L,ko Erie.
Tho climate IL mild, the soil fertile, and
everything for ths sustenance Of man Is
there in abundance.
Manitoba and the northw west territories
have between them 800, ,001, ,01J acres OF
prairie land equal to the best in the north
west Of the United States, and possess ais ,
what is not less valuable, unlimited quantl-
ties of coal. British Columbia has also
splendid coal minss beside gold, sill YER and
other mineral wealth and a considerable
area Of good land. As to the possibilities in.

speak with certainty, but in the Peace River
