TO coLONIZE a VAST AREA

The greatest territorial magnate in
Great Britain, the Duke of Sutherland,
is about establishing in the new world
a system of tenant farming similar to
that practiced in England from time
fmmemorial and is now in the Cana
dian northwest. The duke owns 1907
900 acres in England and Scotland,
most of it in the County of Suther-
land, in Scotland, which is named aft
er the family. For some time he has
been gradually getting rid of his land
ed estates and investing the money in
the provinces of Alberta, Saskatche-
wan and British Columbia. The lands
purchased there he intends colonizing
and his plan is favored by the Cana
dian government, which wishes to see
settled on these virgin acres the
hardy tenantry of England and Scot
land The duke believes the tenantry
will be as faithful to him in the new
world as they were to his family for
many generations past and the work
of colonizing win soon begin.
