_ <<>> —-— Our Manitoba Letter.
The immigration from the Eastern Pro- vinces to this country still goes on as large as ever. Each week brings its hundreds of men, women and children to Manitoba,y-ho were led to believe, from their reading of newspapers and pamphlets published here, that thousands of broad acres were open for location in convenient places to roads and markets. But their chagrin and disap- pointment can be better imagined than dis- cribed, when they arrive here and find out the bitter truth, that, altho’ there are thou- sands of the best land in the Province un- occupied within a comparatively short dis- tance of Winnipeg, that those lands are uwned by the half-breeds or speculators; and that before they can get land that is laid open by the Government for location, they must travel, or rather wallow through mud and water, from 150 to 200 miles to get to it. They then must;purchasetents,and other outfits, before starting on their weary and hazardous journey of seeking for a home in the North-West, which, after some weeks they may accomplish, by wading rivers, tenting with their wives and child- ren on the wet earth, and enduring other hardships not generally known only to those who have participated in them. No better method could possibly have been adopted to retard the early settlement and development of Manitoba than the giving away of 240 acres of the best land in it to every man, woman and child of the half breeds. And to cap the climax of the ridiculous, they, through their agents, were permitted to select the best of the land, and in the most convenient places. ‘True to their Indian instinct, the half breeds do not cultivate these lands, but are daily selling their claims to speculators, who hold them up to a figure beyond the reach of the im- migrant with limited means to purchase. Afthough it was necessary to give them some lands in order to nullify the Indian claim. on the country, yet eighty acres would have been a sufficient apportionment for them.
It is remarked here by the oldest set tlers in the country that they have never seen the land keeping so wet with so little rain falling. But it appears that last fall was a very wet one, and the water on the surface has not yet either evaporated or been absorbed by the earth, and hence the wetness of the land. Wherever the land was dry seeding has been completed some time ago, but there are some have farms here who are unable to sow a grain of seed yet. On the whole, the prospects of the new comer this year is rather gloomy. The
