Land LAWS
SEND MANY
To CANADA
REQUIREMENTS IN DOMINION
ARE LESS SEVERE THAN HERE
UNCLE SAM ANNUALLY LOSING
THOUSANDS OF PERSONS WHO
ACCEPT EASIER CONDITIONS
OVER BORDER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 - The
United States government is awaken
ing to the fact that it is annually
losing from 100000 to $50 900 Of its
most desirable citizens-the tfllers
or the soil-throngh the application o
an anuSquated public land policy. 1t
IS becoming aroused to the fact
that a number Of people are every
year migrating from the United
States to the Dominion of Canada to
become subjects of the British crown,
reRouncing their allegiance to this
government and swearing fidelity to
the king of England.
They are doing this because they
are in search of homes which the
United States government by a mis-
taken public land policy is prevent
ing them from acquiring In this
country. To meet this condition con-
greSs is now undertaking to
l5bera1ize the land laws and to a
large extent it is modelling them
after the laws which obtain in the
Dominion with respect to homestead
Ing.
Under the exsing statutes, a
man IN order to take up land on
the public domain. establish a home
and reclaim the desert, must sen.
teRce himself to isolation upon his
entry for a period of five yeans. He
can only leave it to go away upon a
journey, as he might if he lived in a
city or town. but he must have a
habitation erected upon his 100
acres, and he must live IN it for
five yeaS, no matter how little, in
his fight against the elements OF
nature. the sod during his first few
seasons has failed to respond to
his efforts.
Should he leave 1t during the
long winter months to return to the
city or town for the purpose OF
working to earn money enough tc
carry ON his labors in redeeming
the waste which he has taken fol
his home, he win stand chance Of
losing all, and whatever Improvements
he has put into or upon the land
will then revert to the government
He must also cultivate each year g
certain percentage Of the land, and
at last, after he has struggled fol
five years. and made final proof, he
will receive only a certificate, anC
it is likely to be two, five, and ID
some instances it has been sever
/ yeaas more, before he receives {
/ patent to his land which viii enable
him to dispose of it if he desires.
This is because Of the red tape
/ which exists in connection with the
/ application of the law, and all of il
/ tends TO make it difficult for al
American citizen to take up lant
/ ON the public domain and become
/ homesteader. Because the Canadian
laws are more liberal and invite thu
settler. thousands are annually leav
ing Uncle Sam and going over t

The Lareh In Labrador.

The soil and atmosphere are SO cold
and dry in faraway Labrador that
scarcely any vegetation thriyes at all
The larch Is a species Of pine tree
which is found in all northern cOun-
tries. but its growth is so stunted in
Labrador that a specimen found on
the most southern part Of that dreary
land was but nine inches in height and
the trunk was but three eighths Of an
inch In diameter. A careful examina-
ton Of the miniature tree revealed its
age to be at least thirty-two years, for
there were that number of ring
growths shown In its small trunk. The
very cold currents pouring down from
the north and the fact that Labrador
has less sunshine than Alaska, to-
gether with several inland climatic
conditions, make the summer seasons
shorter and colder than are those Of
Exchange.

gin her new work with. Miss Lathrop

Relic of Buildings Near

erect a structure OF some kind that will
stand as relic of the houses which the
Father Of His Country built In this city,
though he did not complete them, were
set on foot at the meeting OF the Asso-
citation OF Oldest Inhabitants last night.
The suggestion that the association
preserve the material in the form OF
some appropriate memorial was made
by M. /. Weller, while referring to the
condemnation Of square, 634, providing
Tor the extension Of the United States
Capitol Grounds. Mr.. Wellers remarks
about the buildings constructed under
the personal supervision OF the Father
OF His Country brought forth many in
teresting remarks from Judge Bundy,
James Croggon, the local historian and
wartime newspaper man, and others.
That James Ramsey built and oper-
ated the first steamboat that ever navi-
gated water on the Potomac river twen-
ty-nve years before Robert Fulton put
his boat into operation was one of the
interesting statements made by Judge
Bundy in the course Of his remarks.
The speaker declared that there were
letters on record from George Washing
ton stating that he had travelled on
Ras,mseys lEss,a boat. The boat ran four

tons craft, Judge Bundy said the rec
