migration Methods.

Washington, July 16.--It is probable
that the attention OF the British Gov
eminent will be directed to a move
ment conducted officially by the Cana
dian Government to induce emigration
from the United States to the. north
west territory. There can be no objec-
ton to such efforts on the part of pri-
waite emigration agencies but when. as
in this case, the Government itself
seeks to attract citizens of other coun-
tries. the matter is one which calls for
rcmonstrance.
1t appears that the Dominion Depart
ment of the Interior. through one OF
its assistant secretaries, has been
sending broadcast throughout the
Northwestern States circular letters
principally addressed to clergymen
professional men and persons of influ-
ence describing in glowing terms the
splendid resources OF the Canadian
northwest, and inviting immigrants by
the offer of $50 acres of land for each
free schools and sound laws. Atten-
ton - especially invited to the excel
