doubtless escaped general observa-

ton with the oversea colony of the
Salvation Army in West Australia.
A block of twenty-five thousand
acres Of land has been obtained, our
Sydney correspondent writes, on what
may be called the "hire purchase sys-

for a period of twenty years, and on
the expiration of that term the land
will become the absolute property of
the Army.
The situation is a beautiful one,
and half of the area is fit for agricul-
tural purposes-which is a large pro-
portion for barren Australia. The
site has a river frontage of twenty
four miles. Merely as an investment,
therefore, General Booths bargain
