FLUNG AWAY Land
Amazing Grants Of Territory to
Royal FavoTiteS.

America has been freely parceled ont
in gifts since Columbus first set eyes
upon the new world. Most Of the Unit
ed States territory has been at some
time or other handed over TO public
and private companies. New York, for
example. fifty years after it had been
sold for something like S25 was pre-
scented with other lands to the Duke of
York by his brother. the king. and the
name Of the city is a witness this day
to that transaction. The duke granted
New Jersey to somebody else, and u
few years before the king had carved
out Maryland for Lord Baltimore.
Pennsylvania was given 20 William
Penn. the Quaker who founded the
state. in payment. it IS said, Of j debt
that Charles H. owed PENIS father,
and the same monarch gave both North
and South Carolina to eight London
gentlemen who stayed ar home. called
themselves the lords proprietors and
lived on the rents until the people re
fused to pay any more and George ii.
took over the colonies.
The story of Colonel Talbot at the be
ginning Of the last century is one Of
the rOmauces Of Canadian history.
The colonel went out IN 1898 as an aid
de-camp to the governor, and the
founding OF a colony became the ruling
passion of his life. He was given 100,
600 acres. which grew later TO $4,000.
on condition that he place a settler on
every 200 acres. Today this territory
is occupied by some of the most -four
ishing towns in the Dominion. and at
the beginning Of Queen Victoria's reign
Colonel Talbot. who was then still liy-
ing. was the recognized chief of TWEEN
ty-eight towns, all OF which had been
given TO him years before as unoccu-
pied land.
Prince Edward Island, covering 5000
square miles and embracing such
hourishing towns as Georgetown. Char
lOttetowD ana Princetown, was given
away in 1891 TO absentee proprietors
and was bought back again on the or
ganization OF the Dominion Of Cana
da for 10000. The Canadian com
pany, founded in 1926, received a grant
Of 1000. 900 acres, and bought 100000
more at the rate OF half crown an
acre.
The mention Of the Hudson's Bay
company recalls what is probably the
most famous gift Of territory in his
tory. In 1910 Charles II. gave Prince
