RE-PEOPLING VERMONT.

The letter of Commissioner of Agri-
culture Valentine, published in full in
last weeks CALIFORNIAN, cannot have
escaped the notice of the reader This
attempt to induce immigration of a
valuable and worthy foreign element
into Vermont to repeople its waste
lands and make up in measure at
least for the drain upon it by western
emigration, is worth a trial 1t can
not do harm and may succeed in a
measure, at least. The practical diff
ficulties in the way are at least two
fold:
The non-occupied lands of Vermont
are not owned by the government,
the state or any great corporation,
as is much of the land in the West.
And while these lands can now be
bought in small parcels at a low fig
ure per acre, anything like a concert
ed movement to occupy them would
at once create a boom in real estate
that would discourage if not defeat
the scheme altogether. The other
practical difficulty is that Vermont,
as well as all of northern New Eng
land is in effect already mortgaged to
another nationality. The French
Canadians are coming into Vermont
in great numbers. They already own
a good share of the farms in the
northern tier of counties and are fill
ing the manufacturing towns with
operative of both sexes and labOrerS
in all departments of industry and
trade When it is known that in a
place no larger than St. JOhnsbury
the parish priest numbers his parish
at between 1900 and 1000 souls for
eign born or born of foreign parent
age, the increase of the Canadian ele-
ment in Vermont begins to be appre-
ciated. When it is known that the
Catholic fathers in Canada look upon
New England as their future country
and the home of their religion, that
they are bending every energy to
make it thus; when it is known that
statistics show the French Canadian
to be the most prolific race on the
globe-in the light of these facts we
feel warranted in saying that Yer
mont has a mortgage upon it that
will be hard to lift" Nevertheless,
all will hope well for Col. Valentines
scheme to build up the state.
