REGINA, Sask, Sept. 1.-The Soldier
Settlement Board has completed nego-
tiations by which the Canadian Govern
ment VIII turn over to II for soldier
settlement 1880 acres of good farm
land on Indian reserves in Saskatche-
wan, $500 acres in Manitoba and 5000
acres in Alberta, a total of Sl,l0O
acres.
These Indian reserve lands will be
thrown open TO settlement by soldiers
under the lottery system. The soldier
candidates for farms will draw num-
bers which in order of precedence will
entitle them to choice of farm lands.
The soldiers will buy this land at the
price which the Government will pay
the Indians for It, but will have twenty
years in which to pay for 1t. In addi-
ton to their land the soldiers Will be
lent money with which to stock and
improve their farms.
The arst land lottery in Canadian his
try was held when ten townships of the
Porcupine forest reserve on the Cana
dian National Railway in eastern Sas-
katchewan were thrown open recently to
soldier settlement. This land. which ad-
joins one of the richest farming regions
of the famous Prince Albert distrio,
was gobbled up by soldiers few DAYS
after the opening. The Porcupine land
lottery proved so successful that the
Soldiers Settlement Board decided to re-
peat it in dealing out the Indian re-
serve farms. The latter are widely
scattered through the three prairie Prov
inces and contain some of the choicest
farming land in Canada.
