 Strath Halladale, in Sutherlandshire may be taken as typical of the island. The whole of the Strath was once teem- ing with Scotch life; now save for a mar row strip in the center, protected by the Croftets act, the great area has been turned into a game preserve. The mar row central strip of the Strath is still titled with reverent care by small band of crofters who are allowed toSremain Those evicted from either end of the val 1 ley were compelled to move their chat
 tels to the coast close by, at Ports kerra, where they are working patches
 of sandy loam, which do not bear enough
 for their own wants, and eke out a mis-
 erable existence as fishermen. Portskerra
 consists of about 30 crofts. The dwellings
 are small matched cabins, and each crofter has from one to three acres of
 arable land with about 15 acres of rough
 grazing. The settlement Is perched on a l cliff, up which every drop of drinking water has to be carried couple of hun dred yards. The sea, for a time. helped these people to exist, but the advent of trawers has made line fishing unprofita- ble and their one hope is to obtain more land from the vast upland waste around
 them, which maintained their fathers,
 but is now given over to the preserves of

 These conditions are more or less pre- valent in all Scotland, and unless they can be changed. says Mir. .Outhwaite, 1t Is only question of time before the only toScchmen in Scotland will be found in the great cities where trade and the pro- fessons make life bearable

 These conditions, while they have long been known in a general way, and from time to time have been the cause Of pro- test and agitation, have never before been placed before the British public with such force as they are at present. scSo stone is being left unturned by the
