Select Standing Committee of Parliament |

|

It con- |

report

on Immigration and Colonization. tains much valuable information, and re- flects much credit upon Mr. W. W. Stum- bles jr., Secretary of the Committee, i drew it up. We quote some paragraphs interesting to the people of this Province:—

The Hon. J. C. Pope, who owns a large herd of cattle in’ Prince: Edward Island, appeared before the committee and stated the result of his experience in stock grow- ing. Mr. Pope stated.that the crossing of pure breeds with the native cattle gave tine stock for beef. Suceessful results have been reached by crossing Durhams with ordinary cattle. In some cases bullocks have reach- ed from 1,809 to 2,000: pounds weight at three years old. The attention of farmers has been devoted to raising ‘ of superior stock ‘within the last few years, and their efiorts have been amply repaid by securing a better class of cattle both for dairy pur- poses and for beef. Prince Edward Island farmers have also paid attention to the breeding of horses, and their stock are somewhat celebrated in the Eastern Prov- inces, and some parts of the United States for endurance and size. These horses are peculiarly suited for lumbering purposes. Mr. Pope also stated that the fertility of Prince Edward Island enabled the farmers

to grow all kinds of roots and cereals raised |

in Northern climates. The annual exporta- tion of oats averages 2,000,000 bushels, and some years when the demand is good the same number ef bushel of potatoes are ship- ped to, other countries.

From the statements of the Hon. J. C, Pope and Colonel Laurie, it-is evident that the Eastern or Maritime Provinces, from their very excellentand abundant pasturage, their moist ‘climate, abundant supply of water, and. large root crops, are adapted specially: for the raising of cattle, sheep, horses and swine. In addition to this, their location upon the Atlantic coast gives facili ties for shipment to the markéts of the Old World. od

Mr. Bunster, M. P., afforded the Com- mittee an account of British Celumbia and its wonderful resources. Extensive deposits’ of bituminous and anthracite eoal have been found, the depth being 174 feet, and running along the. ceast’ for miles. ‘This coal is‘in the immediate vieinity of shipping places, and the output is estimated at 500 tons daily. From 1,000 to 1,2000 men are employed in the mines. Lumbering is carried on in summer as well as in winter, and the quantity .which can be obtained from an acre of ground is four or five times greater than in the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Fish are abundant around the coast of British Columbia. The evi- dence of Mr. McInnes, M:P., will be found interesting on the point of the. fisheries. The export of canned fish from 10 canneries for the last year amounted to $1,000,000. Other ivinds of fish, such as halibut, herring and sturgeon are abundant. Mr. Bunster states that the gold mines of British Co- lumbia have yieided of late very largely. [ron ore deposits lie about 15 or 20 miles frem the coast. The rich deposits of copper and silver are now attracting attentton:

Mr. George Debson gave information on the resources. of Cape Breton and ports of Nova Scotia, The area of the Island-of Cape Breton is 3,000 square miles, and rich deposits of bituminous coal, of a superior quality, are found in almost every section of it. The: facilities for mining in Cape Breton. are good and the operations are car- ried on with every convenience. The coal lies near the. seaboard and is shipped di- rectly on ‘board of vessels. The entire uumber of mines in Nova Scotia at work, during the last year was 25, and, the quan- tity of coal shipped from them amounted to In the year 1873 33 mines were in operation, and the sales of coal were 1,000,000 tons.. The supply of coal is estimated at 800,000,000 tons. . The iron deposits of Nova Scotia are very extensive and underlie the whole of the Province. One valuable and important feature in the working of iron mines in Nova Seotia is their close proximity to coal beds. Marble quarries and gypsum deposits are worked to some extent, and the marble of Cape Breton is considered superior to United States marble.

The trade in cattle arid natural products between Canada and Great Britain has materially increased of late, and its a pleas- ing fact to Canadians residing in the old country to see that almost everything. re- ceived from here has the word ‘‘Canada”’ printed or stampee upon it. In canned salmon, lobsters and that class of goods, for which a few years ago the Americans got all the erfdit, Canada has secured her share of credit, and salmon; lobsters, &., are sold as the production of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and British Columbia. Canadian cattle have got a character of their own, entirely better and stronger than that of American cattle. From a statement made to Mr. Kingsmill by the largest ex- portér of cattle in this country, , it-appears that the Canadian bullock.sells much better

The policy of the Government being re- trenchment, it was found necessary to re- duce the expenses of the Department of Immigration, and this has been effected by recalling nine Special Agents. Four of these agen‘s have been’operating in Eng- land, one each in Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany and Switzerland. In addition te this the expenses have been curtailed by stopping all bonuses and commissions to steamship agents. Special bonuses to colonists have ceased, and the sim payable by the Mennonites under the agreement of 1872 raised from thirty to forty dollars.

No mechanics, artizans ‘or professional men, who have simply their labor te offer, are invited tou come to Canada, uniess, it may be, for special situations requiring skill in certain branches of manufactures. Tenant farmers from the old countries with sufficient’ means to purchase lands, which are sold for a less sum per acre than ‘the rentals of lands they now <ccupy, are principally invited. Their immigration into Canada will very materially. improve their cirenamstances and add to the wealth of the country. A limited number of female servants will easily find employment-and receive much larger compensation for their labor than is offered in European countries.

CIVIC.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—A few days since on taking up your paper and on hearing some remarks by cit- izens ad to‘ Whether a non-resident of the city was eligible for election as Mayor, and being of opinion myself ‘that he-was not) in as mugh as, it appeared by,\the, whele

Act incorperating the city, that the intention of the Act was that’ the resid ts of -the ‘city should. have the 4sele- ‘bn. trol of. their.own aflairs, I penned: a letter intended for your paper, but.as it. was, too late for your issue of that day, I i

| nded it bto the Wew Fra, sind 4nf? that ‘aber’ is dvening, 1 séea letter signed s Daaaeve”

in —_ he -_ ~ question, is) there anything in the Incorporation Act against the fbn esidenos of ees ed there is not, "but I again say that the ‘spirit of the Incorporation Act is ‘to enable resi- dent citizens to manage the. affairs of the city, and the amendment of 1866 points out What part non-resident owners of pro- perty shall be’ allowéd ‘to have a voice therein. He also asks, Why did not I find out that a late Mayor vielated the law by residing out of the city? 1 am not aware of any gentleman having been elected to the office, a non-resident, unitl the present It is true that the late respected -oceupant of the Mayor’s chair—the ‘Hon. Mr. Havi- land—during one of his years. of : office, moved out of the city into the Royalty, and I heard that he had strong doubts as to whether he had not forfeited his’ office, and did not take his seat until after dbtain- ing the opinion of the then Recorder—the late John Lawson, Esq., Queen Counsel, &c.—which was that, being in office, he was Mayor for the year, but that he doubted if he could be elected for the next year if non- resident. “Observer” states that ‘‘On-Look- ers” nerves seem to be disturbed ; that the Stipendiary .also resides outside the city...Not .at. all,..Mr.. ‘‘Observer.” But nevertheless, to discharge his his duties as in charge of the peace of the city, I must confess that I'am-of opinion he ought to reside in the city and not have to be sent for as at the time of the Orange dis- turbance. He then asks ‘‘On-Looker’ to point ont a single instance where fhe chief magistrate neglected his duty, being non- resident. I say, l donot know of any ;‘and being an, old Councillor and a good one I have no doubt on being elected to the Mayor’s chair, that he discharges his duty He then, I think, rather in a state of mind which shows that his nerves are disturbed (if mine wére not) states I have seen the Stipendiary Magistrate sitting for hours beyond official hours on protracted cases (but I imagine he adjourned for a lunch). But was it not more for his own convenience and that he might have the next day more to himself, ‘but besides he is a paid official, and therefore, Mr. Editor, | cannot help fer once agreeing with ‘‘Observer’ that comparisons are odious, but, as before stated, ‘‘Observer” is not very clesr. His nerves are no doubt disturbed. I imagined the chief magistrate of the city was the Mayor, not the Stipen- diary Magistrate. Yours, &c., t A Looxer-On. Ch’town, Sept. 13, 1879.

Mr. DoyaLp Macxenziz, who arrived in Bristol on the 10th tlt., from Cape Juby, North-west Africa, was the bearer of a let- ter from Sheikh Mohammed Bairoot, the ruler of that part of the country, to Lord salisbury, offering to open friendly -and commercial relatiens with England. Mr. Mackenzie has left a staff of 18men at Cape Juby, the harber of which he has named Port Victoria. The wooden house which he tock out from England has been erected on the shere, and the settlement is now established. L oft
