ICElANDERS SETTLE ON THE
 PACIFIC.

A good start has been made by the Icelandic settlement on the shores of Masset inlet. A few weeks ago the Empire reported the arrival here of a party of Ice flanders from Manitoba who had come to the coast to look into the possibilities of Graham is- land. Since then they have pur- chased half mile of water front age near Sewall city, and present prospects seem to warrant the eX- pectation that a large and thriv- ing community will soon be in evidence at this place. The land has been divided into twenty-four allotments, each with water frontage of 100 feet, and one and a quarter acres. Extending farth- CT back, there are five plots in cluded in each of these water front holdings, so that the owner has the benefit of gardening or farming on small scale, as well as having a very considerable amount of land which gives him access to the water. This is after the method of French settlements along the River St. Lawrence. The settlers appear to consider the outlook promising. There is clearing to be undertaken, for the growth of timber is heavy, but once these difficulties are over come, progress will be easier. More arrivals are expected from ManitOba.--Prmce Rupert Elm Dire.
