The Northwest for Emigrants-

Just at present the tide of Northwest immigration is flowing into the Edmon- ton district, which occupies the upper or westerly portion of the great Saskatche- wan valley. It runs from the Battle River on the south about 150 miles to U10 Athabasca on the north, having the Sas- katchewan River near its centre. Mid 01‘ tends from the summit of the Rocky M-runtains eastward about 300 miles to the 111th Meridian, the eastern boundary of the provisional district of .\lbe!'f3- The town of Edmonton is in latitude 53%. the same as Dublin in Ireland, Liverpool and York in the northern part of Eng- land, Holland, Hamburg in Germany, and 455 miles further south than St- Petersburg. Edmonton is further south than any part of Scotland, Denmark. Norway or Sweden. The most glowing ,.aports have been made concerning this district, and intending emigrants Wl10 have been led thereby to go and spy out the country have generally decided to lo- cate there. From Calgary a railroad runs north to Edmonton, 192 miles, which are covered in twelve hours. The first part of the journey is through grazing lands. Thousands of sheep may be seen upon the hills and droves of horses and cattle on the ptature lands. From Red Deer north, however, the appearance of the district changes very much.

It is no longer the prairie. The country reminds one of a park. The rolling, sur- face is clumped with groves of spruce and poplar, and interspersed with lakes and creeks adding much to the beauty of the broad acres, which stretch away for miles on‘ both sides of the road. It is hard to realize that this is-the land primeval. It has all been surveyed, and every other section is owned by the C. P. R.

A regular bonanza it must be to them. Dissatisfied with portions of the land granted to them along the main line of the Railway they induced the government to grant them the odd sections in this dis- trict instesd, and these are sold to settlers at $3 per acre, payable with 6 per cent interest in 10 years, the company rs serving from sale all mineral and coal- lands etc. It strikes one as rather too much of a good thing, but the C. P. R. is all powerful in the Northwest, and the people there feel that they are much in- debted to it.

The advantages of this district are so real and apparent that it will require few words to relate them. The soil is a black vegetable mould from one to three feet in depth overlying a light colored clay subsoil averaging 12 feet in depth. There is very little stony or sandy land. The ‘fertility is practically inexhaustible. In- stead of continuous battle to keep up this fertility, the land can be kept at the high-

lion. Mr. Root-zus.--—I cannot appre- ciate the argument of hon. members. They say there is no use legislating against a thing that is wrong because people break the low. Surely it is one function of the Legislature to pl‘0— hibit what is injurious. If the small- pox break out the Government‘: take all the means in their power to pre vent society being injured; but in this case the paltry ' argument is brought up that this evil should {)3} be pro- hibited because the prohibition of it would cause people to break the law. If the argument of the hon. member from New London is good, all restrict- ive legislation should be abandoned. Then the hon member advocates a license law. Now, surely any person who advocates a license law cannot have considered the subject properly. How is it there is no claim put for- ward for licensing any other evil ex- cept liquor selling? Liquor is sold freely in Charlottetown today. A ma- jority of the people voted down re- strictive legislation, and yet We find these very people asking for 9. license law. If a thing is bad, we have no right to license it, and if it is not bad, there is no necessity for licensing it. Coming down in the train a gcrttleutan asked me if we were not going to pass a license law—a. man who is in the business—and he wanted a. license law passed. These men want a license law simply that they may get a monopoly of this bad business. The Bill,if passed as it is would be a dead letter, but by incorporating the amendment it will be of some use. The hon. member from Stratbalbyn thinks because we are going to teach the children in the schools not to use these things, that; we should not pass restrictive measures until they become educated. If we can educate the children as they should be on this subject, there will then be no need of a law of this kind, but be- fore they can be so educated we want a law to restrain them from using those injurious articles. This law cannot work a great deal of harm, the most it could do would be to cause a little in- convenience to a. few persons, and if enforced would be a powerful means of keeping young people from acquiring the habit of using narcotics and intoxi- cating liquor.

Mr. Donn.—VVby does his honor wish to restrict the sale of liquor when he considers its free sale better than a license law.

Hon. Mr. ROGERS.—I said the peo ple of Charlottetown decided it was a good thing when they did away with the Scott Act.

Mr. DonD.—The Scott Act was the best set we ever bad if it had been en- forced, but the liquor dealers are not pleased with the present state of affairs because there are so many places where liquor is sold that the profits this amendment regarding tobacco you will

are very small. If you pass make more enemies than you would by taking from people the privilege of voting.

Mr. MAcKENzu:.—I think we should pass the Bill as it is and it will

eat state of cultivation forever by simply) pave the way for more advanced

working it and returning to it the refuse. of what it produces.

Another advantage is the abundance of timber. which settlers on the open prairie do not enjoy. It is said that nearly half of the district proper is covered with large or small woods, a condition which must have a very beneficial effect on the cli- mate. The spruce makes very superior lumber, the poplar makes excellent build- ing logs, and the gray willow is almost as lasting as cedar for fence pickets.

Another advantage is the abundance of water for all purposes. Besides the Sas- katchewan river, which is a glacier fed stream rising in the Rockies, the country has numerous creeks, ponds and lakes, while well water can besecured at a depth of from 10 to 50 feet.

A fourth advantage is the abundance of

coal which is now being taken out of the banks of the Saskatchewan river. The price seems to be high however. a fact which was not satisfactorily explained to us. Besides all this there appears to be a good protpect of convenient markets at all times. Edmonton is only 700 miles from Vancouver and it appears that the

supply of the products of mixed farming

is not yet equal to the demand both in the Territories themselves and in British Columbia. Wheat realizes a profit even at a low figure. The freight charge from Edmonton to Montreal or Toronto on wheat is 55 cents per 100 lbs, and on live cattle 81.08 per 100 lbs. ‘

Ready to be Sacrifisd.

Manna, June 9.-—A youth of 13 h“ odered himself as a victim of a native feast to be held on Wednesday and fin volunteered to undergo the torture of having his body impaled with a sharp book, and while thus inflicted to be an. p0lI_l_led in the air for a conaide;-.519 _P'"°4-_ _Thcr_:! is no sign that the ‘"l"““' '1 prevent th barhuo ossusaass. 0 ’

legislation on the subject, but the amendment would cause hardship and if passed people would evade the law. We look forward to the time when we will be able to stamp out the use of liquor in Charlottetown and the pre- sent state of affairs is teaching people the necessity for a law to prohibit it.

hit. CAMPBELL.--I like above all things to see men consistent. His honor the President says if we give a license we admit the business to be honorable, and also that it‘ gives a few men a monopoly of the business, but he goes in for the Scott Act which is a license law to all intents and purposes. I ask are there not more dens to trap the unwary in this town under the present state of affairs than if you had a license law? It is well known there are five timrs as many places where liquor is sold as there were under a license law, and the more liquor dens the more temptation there is to induce men to drink. With a Prohibitory law in force in the State of Maine, liquor was as easily procured as in Charldttetown today. I would be willing to vote for a. prohibitory law if it could be enforced, but it would be impossible with our opportunities for smuggling. I do not think tobacco has such dire effects on men as liquor, and I would let people have it if they

0 want it, but I would like to put an iron

band around the liquor trafiic, and I cannotunderstand how any man who wants to see rum sold Without any re- striction can call himself a temperance man.

Mr. NICHOI8ON—We are not discus- ing a license law but a Bill to prevent the sale of tobacco, and also liquor to minors. I think it is very necessary

Something to Boast of.

Rev. Charles A. Berry has come back, says the London Nows,ft-om a trip around the world, via Quebec, Vancouver and the Australian colonies, and, as it appears in his narrative in “The Young Man,” nothing has impressed him more than the fact than in a journey of 40,000 miles it was only at two points that he passed, as he expresses it, from beneath our na- tional ensign. Some day, he prophesies, the Canadian Pacific railway directors will be able to put on as fast and comfort.

wager. There is no doubt that it will be the basis of a big battle next session against the whole English system of bet- ting. Whether it will succeed is, how- ever, in the minds of many people a very different matter.

Our word “bride” is derived from the Anglo-Saxon verb “bredan,” to cherish, while “groom” or “grom,” is an old Dutch word, which simply means a young man, and is quite different from the term applied to our equine domestics, which either comes from the Persian “gartna" (a keeper of horses), or else from the Anglo-Saxon word "guma” (>5 caretaker or servant).
