4 Goodly Heritage.

From the westminster Gazette.
Imagination is staggered by the state
ment just handed out from Ottawa re-
garding the area of arabic land availab!s
for settlement in the West. Up TO ths
end Of this summer. we learn there will
have been surveyed 12l,01l0l0 acres. and
north and east Of Edmonstoa alone there
is at least as much. Evidently. The
Last Vest as American newspaper and
writers have dubbed the Cana
dian heritage, is a misnomer. There seem
TO be several last Vests. and we do not
seem to be within sight Of the penulti-
mate one. It will be decades before what
is now known as the last West, shall
have been filed up.
