FINEST LAND CUT OF DOORS "
Millions of Acre. of Canadian Terri
rory so lie .cribe1 by travellers.

Millions of Acres of Canadian Terri
rory 50 lie .cribed by travellers.
l.. \. Hamilton and Land Commits
sioner Griffin have arrived in Winnipeg
after a three weeks drive through 800
miles of what Mr. Hamilton says an
American would call the finest block
of land that lies out of DOORS" This
land comprises about 2J,OOO.OOO acres
and was covered by two men from We
taskiwin through BattefOrd east. north
to the Nermilion Lakes, across into the
BiackfoOt Hills, then to the Saskatche-
wan River. from there south to the
Trapping Lake district and east again
to Saskatoon.
THE object of our journey" said Mr..
Hamilton, speaking to Free Press re-
porter. was to note the resources and
progress of this district for intending
settlers. Mr. Griffin had not been over
this ground before and it was to him Il
trip of great value on this account
What we saw confirms the view | have
taken that here lies one of the richest
tracts of land in the world. We found
that settlers have pushed their way in
and are located not only on land all
along the railway, but 10 miles on each
side of it. The soil in all parts we saw
is of the richest, and timber and water
plentiful except an eastern tract lying
south of Eagle Hills, where timber is
scarce. In the Battleford district, ly-
ing 100 miles from the railway. we
found excellent fields of grain being
grown, but in the majority of TIE farth-
est districts cattle raising is the chief
industry. Settlers are pushing their
way out from Calgary and Edmonton
east as far as the Buck Lakes, 100
miles from the railway"
Game throughout this district. Mr..
Hamilton states, was very plentiful
in fact, too plentiful. I'VE were told
that the prare chickens were so thick"
said Mr.. Hamilton. that disease
among them had developed and they
were dying off in thousands. This
am told, occurs about every seven
years. when the ravages of the disease
are much more destructive than that
wrought by the hunters after feathered
game. There is no scarcity of fresh
meats however, and in many of the
farming districts or ranch.ng prOperti, 3
the owner has his own game preserves.
ION this tract of 25.O0OOOO acres
there is no reason" concluded Mr..
Hamilton, according to the Winnipeg
Free Press, why 5OO,OO0,O0O bushels
of wheat could not be raised and this
will he the case some day not far dis
tant."
