Then. too. if we were to include in
this estimate of government land in
Canada all that great portion that
is yet unsuweyed, but which has a
climate that is not unsuited to the
needs of agriculture, and add to this
the remaining government lands in
Ontario, and other more eastern PROV
inces. we can easily imagine room
enough not only to support all the
immigration which the Dominion viii
attract for many years to come. but
sufficient TO permit of the operations
of any number of American land SYM
dicates. The northwest territories
are alone q times as large as the
United Kingdom, and this does not
include Manitoba. The population OF
these territories at the present time
is not over 100000, but it is growing
at the rate of close TO $4,000 annually.

In presenting these figures, Mr..
Smith explained that it represented
the total of good agricultural land.
and is probably larger total Of this
class of land than can be found still
open to settlement in the United
States. From this total, however,
must be made several deductions be-
fore we get at the exact number OF
acres the government has opened up
for demonstrating. In the first place,
the general total contains 100000
acres owned by the Canadian Pacific
railway. which is for sale at the
usual price of railway lands. An
other 100000 acres are owned by
the Hudson Bay company, secured by
that corporation as a part remuner-
alton for waving their disputed title
to the entire country. This COM

This does not include the lands set

which contain another 145,000000

be open to settlement.

is willing to give to desirable appli-

Winnipeg. The great shed-like build

partrnent was packed with the peo-
pie of virtually all nations at the
time, and among them was a goodIv
sprinklng of Americans. Mr.. j. O.
Smith. the immigration commissioner
at Winnipeg, said to me that very
nearly one-half of the home-seekers
going into the western provinces were
from the states, and it was easy to
imagine this from the fact that

spoken by the employees of the de-
partment at Winnipeg. the English

would necessarily turn to Canada.
The fact is this country has a much
greater area of surveyed government
lands that are open to settlement
than Canada has, but this has not
prevented comparatively heavy en-
igration to Canada within the past
ten years. 1t is not n sudden rush
of home-seekers into Canada that has
attracted the attention of the press
and the public by any means. but
rather the sudden rush of American
capital into Canadian lands. So far

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing it's work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that IL
fails to cure. Send for list of testi-
monials.

GAINESVILLE Case in Court.

GAINESVILLE, O., March 26.-Miss Pearl
Mohler, the 16-year-old niece and heir
of the late ID. w. Caldwell, president of
the Nickel Plate Railway company,
wants a new guardian and asks that
her allowance be increased from S. 200
to $4,000 a year. Miss Mohler lives
with her sister, Mrs. c. C. Long, who
recently removed to Philadelphia. Mrs.
Long is to look after her sisters edu-
cational social training, etc. Her an
nual income amounts to nearly $4,000.
A short time ago Mrs. Long filed
motion in the probate court, asking
that the allowance be increased, alleg-
ing it was insufficient to enable her
sister to live in manner becoming her
income and station. The guardian,
Judge Granger, opposed the increase,
alleging that it would be extravaganza.
Judge Granger cited bill for $2,
372.34, covering Miss Mohler's ex-
penses for a period of 81 days. Among
the items were 1915 for diamond
ring, $35 for gloves, $2690 for night
gowns and $5S.75 for corsets.
In her reply filed today Mrs. Long
says her sisters expenses during the
period complained of were extraordin-
ary because Of trip to New York and
Washington, and says there will be
other extraordinary expenses due to
graduation and entrance into society.
She also asks that the guardianship
be transferred to Hon. F. III. Southard.
