Andrew Fraser Mitchell, Recently Dis- missed Immigration Agent for This

eived from, .\ir. Mitchell dated the 31st of May, 1923. He informed me that he’ was over there as the rep- resentative of the province oi‘ Prince Edward island in Canada. “flie only Province," he said. "that since I have been connected with it has real opportunities to offer, as I propose to place before you." That was his first. letter. I wrote in re- ply to inform me of the proposi- tlon.

Q. When did you get that first letter?

A. Iii. was datctl hiay Zilsl, I923. Bgot it about June Isl.

Q. Wore you engaged viuii|o_\'iiit.*nt at that time? .\. I was employed at hoinc at that time, yes. ’l‘iie next letter was on the vt-th oi’ Julie, lie again In- formed inc that he vras established here as the representative oi" -th_e Government. of Prince l-Jilwaril is- land and that the proposition he had was in connection with the usually very rcuiuneratlve black and alive.- iux fur farming iu con- Junction with a little market gar deuing, which could be undertaken ln a small area and did not require 'ery much investment. to inuke it successful. He also lnformd me that he was establishing a colony of ex-servlce people in Prince Ed- ward Island which would enable them to maintain the old social ae- sociations they had been accus- tamed to in the past and at the same time engage in that remuner- ativc occupation that he mention- ed,-—t‘oxes. Also he asked me to call and see him it‘ possible.

Q. That letter has an embossed stamp of the Executive Coiiiicll of Prince Edward Island?

A.’ Yes. .1 took the matter up under the impression that it was a Government scheme, not thinking tor a minute that it was run iby an individual,

Tho Commissioner: Q. A-re the other bossed in that way? A. A lot of them are. The flrfll one has not got the seal. The next letter I had was date-l July 8rd. It gives the details of the proposi- tion more or less. He writes, "It does not. require a large investment and can be commenced st a maxi- mum cost of 500 or 600 pounds" t-the black and silver fox fur tami- iiig) "a small area ol' land, about three or four ncreenbeing sufficient for the purpose. Also in a Previous letter he said this would be In coirl junction with a little market gar-i denlng.

MR, STEWART:

Q. The idea. was that you were to run those two thlIlKS lclnlly? A. Yes, fox fur and market gar- dening, on anaren of three or tour‘ a-cres oi‘ land. He also said there, Wits plenty of room i'0r expansion. as there was not in the. Old Coliti- try, 'i‘hen he went on with the rea- sons for rei-omnieuillug perop-le to the Island. Children stood better chances than they do in England under present day conditions; ex~ celleiil free educational institu-v tlons; the climate; no provincial income tax, more than hall‘ oi‘ the revenue of the Province teomini! from the Dominion Government lrtmi Customs duties; cost of living very cheap. He wrote: "l have made snrangements with a farmer who has made his fortune out oi‘ this industry, that lnlentllng set- t-lers could itndergo a thorough two weeks‘ education on his tux ranch without cost to themselves.“ "lu another letter he said: "The one thing that will be required of you is that you undergo a thorough two weeks’ education on a fox ranch",-the same thing in differv ent words. That letter I not about the 4-th of July and li. was just about the time I was getting my holidays so I went "over to London and called upon him. At that time he more or less reiterated what hc had already said in the correspond- ence. I asked him for a detailed estimate of the expenditure I would have to make in connection with it. lie gave me the following estl‘ mate: Cost of property, 375 pounds (He informed me verbally that there were three and a half acres in each of the plots. and he puts this down here as 250 pounds though he told me venbslly’ 200 pounds, making a total cost of 375 pounds.) The other items were; two pairs of foxes. I80 pounds; wire fencing, 20 pounds; garden seeds, 2 pounds; market garden seeds including seed- potatoes, 4 pounds; furniture, e.tc., (which could be purchased cheaper in Canada) 30 pounds: making a total oi‘ 551 pounds.
