poses has already been done in Can
ada.
He plans to provide. with every
piece of land offered for settlement a
house and barn ready for occupancy,
and of the eighty-acre units twenty
acres made ready for seeding and
twenty more fit for pasturage.
The land for this purpose is not con
fned 10 the remnants of the public
domain but is to be acquired for the
most part by purchase of arid lands.

west, south and north respectively.
The government is to do the neces-
sary irrigating, draining and clearing.

gain in this general distribution of

geographical section and climate and

distance from his old home.

Of the interior was sidetracked in the
