OTTAWA, March '12.-Im1mig1~a-

tion was t-be theme of discussion in the House today, being brought up in co/n-nectlon with consideration of the Interior Department estimates, ‘Opposition membets alleged that there had been less immigration in- to Ca'na»da from the United States this last year and e. larger emigra- tion of Canadian Citizens to the dis- tricts south of the border. They sl. so claimed, largely in the person of I-lon. Frank Oliver, that although more people enetere Canada last year fewer immigrants were settled in in-nd.

To all this Hon. Dr. Roche, Minis-

ter of the Interior, made reply that if there had been a decline in home- steadlnlz last year it was because it was not thought wise to induce peo- ple to settle ln"'the Pe-ace River dis- trict and ather 'Northern portions of the west when there are as yet no transportat/iqilil "facilities for them there. Fewer lirriorlcans had come to Canada but thosé who had entered had been of a better cl-ass and had come despite cvdry inducement held out to them to remain and a policy of misrepresentation of things in conditions in the American Press. As regards the llguresof alleged Cana- dian emigration to United States, Dr. Roche announced that his depart- ment h-ad investigated these and found 9, goodly portion of them com-

posed of those who had simply v sit- ed t-he Republic, later returning to Canada. This was true not only of Canadian said to have gone to the States but of Americans sold to have returned there after settling lo Canada. _ ' Second reading was given today to Dr. Rochas bill to extend the time for surrendering South American land grants for $500 and to Hon. J. D. I-Iazen’s hill to al1.end and con- soldate the Merchant's Shipping Act as well as to a bill introduced by Hon. Geo. E. Foster to faciliate the export of Calladiall binder twine,

lic meeting was held in the -Y. M. C. IA. Hall, today regarding a suitable bllildlnfv in which to hold future Fairs, and other public- gatherings in connection with the Agricultural Department in Prince County.

Dr. A. A. McLellan was called to

He reported that the Government showed a sympathvlilc attitude an-d announced that the Minister of Agriculture had assure-d him that Summerside would be the permanent honce of the Pruviuclul Seed Fairs.

As au alternative nrulwsitiou he

suggested the purchase of the old Holman warehouse on Water St., now owned by Hon. Jas. A. McNeill. which could probably be D\1\”°h“S°<i for $2,000. He submitted plans and an estimate furnished by Mr. G00- Baker which showed t-hat the alter- ations necessary to make the build- ‘inz suitable would cost about $4.000.

Rev. Dr. Gauthier tg0aB`h0 the

Holman building would he too small. but it was possible that the And- rew's build ng Ml:i0iulu'il °0“'1d “W0 be acquired.

The Minister of Agriculture had told him that UG was wllllnz' to do anvthius he ¢°“1d ln the matter but a hullalnz lefee enough for future requirements was essential. _
