tiou_ Mr. Siitier`s riport reads as fol-
lO\\'s :-
~‘l-J-imouton, Albergo, July 25, 1898.
--I have just returned from a tour of
inspection through the Galician settle-
ment situated in townships 55. 56 and
57. ranges 16, 17. 18 and 19, and beg
io submit to you the fillowing report
as to their progress. On account of the
very bad roads I was not able to go
through all the sections where the Gs.
‘icians are settled who came in. May.
However. I saw a large number of
iliem, and they wire all hard at work,
some building houses, others ploughing,
Every one that I siw had potatoes
planted and other garden vegetables.
Some have a. little barley sown, which
I think will not ripen before the frost
comes. There was_a slight. frost on the
night of the 21st, which went in streaks
through townships 56 and 57. ranges
16 and 17, and turned the potato leaves
brown. butl do not think that it will
seriously hurt them. I found also that
a number of them who are in poor cir-
cumstances have gone out to work and
will be able t 1 make enough to support
themselves through t-he coming winter.
Those who came in a year ago have
from two to five acres in crop, besides
potatoes, turnips and other vegetables.
Their wheat is looking first-class in
nearly every case. SJme have also dsx
and hemp growing. I found these peo-
ple all contcnfci and prosperous. Those
who have horses are busy breaking up
more land, and those who have
none are out at work to earn a horse
or cow. Those in the country tivo
years havefrom five to fifteen acres
in crop, and the grain all looking well.
I brought in a sample cf wheat from
one of these farms to show Mr Oliver,
I think it is the best sample I- have
seen in the coun'ry. I :lic brought
in a sample of spring wheat sown 'last
fall. The heads are not large. but it
will iipen two weeks earlier than that
sown inthe spring. The above men-
tioned griiu is from the farm of' Con-
stantine l\'eim°rski, section 22. Town-
ship 56, range 18 The Ga`icians who
have been in the country four or more
years are, in my opinion, doing re-
markably well. They have in c.o_n all
the way from 20 to 60 acres, and the
grain is looking extraordiuarilv well.
These are located in Township 56,range
19. They have formed themselves into
a school district called Limestone Lake,
and l was informed that over 30 children
attended this school, that is 30 Galician
children. A few English and Norweg-
ians are settled among them. I will
give you the names of a few in this
township, with _what they had when
they came here and what they have
now. Michael Pullshia had $300, he
now his 25 acres of wht at, 30 acres cf
oats, seven of rye and two of potatoes.
(ln his son’s place, which was taken up
this spring. he has eight acre; of oa's
and six or barley. lle has sixteen head
of cattle, four horses, some pigs and
poultry, a waggon, plough and har-
rows, a third share in a binder and
one-half share in a mower and hay
rake and disk narrow, and will give a
good bonus for a grist mill, which is
wanted very badly in the Limestone
Lake district. John Pileopo, on section
22. Township 56, range 19, had about
S250 when he came in here. He has to-
day 30 acres in wheat. 22 in oats, 5 in
rye, 3 in barley. 1 1-2 in peas, and 1 in
. potatoes, 'besides other garden vege-
tables. He has eight head of caftle,
tour horses, a waggou, plough and
harrows. and, with his neighbors, a
share in a binder, mower and rake and
disk carrow. He will also give a bonus
for a ir.i.l~l. Ivan Fanyack of the same
section carrie to this country with very
little. He has now twenty acres
in wheat, ten in oats, tive in rye, two
in barley, besides vegetables. lie has
four or five head' of catt'e, two horses,
a waggon, plough and hai-rows, also a
share in _a binder, mowers, etc. He
will also give abonus for a mill. The
' Galicians in lli’s- district are all con-
tented and busy breaking up new land.
I might also add that they are building
alarge church in township 56, range
18, the structure to be 70 by 26 and
will have a tower 770 feet high with a
._ bell. About fifteen men are employed
onthe building. 'Their belief is the
' orthodox creed.
_, The contract for the construction of
1 the west pier of the entrance to the
Welland Canal at Port Dalhousie has
been awarded to Mr. :John Riley who
built the east pier. Mr. Collingwood
Schreiber, Deputy Minister of Railways
and Canals. has returned from an in-
spection of the Wellaud and St. Law-
rence Canals.
Tenders hav een invited for the
called, from one point in Canadato an-
other, which must ere long follow. are
reforms of a very important character
from a financial point- of view. There
are not lacking critics who foresee in
them an enormous loss of revenue that
cannot be made up in. any other way,
and which must prove a large drain up-
on the public exchequer. lu short, the
postal reductions have been criticised
as calculated to upset the equilibrium
of our finances. Befor/e accepting these
points as final, and beyond dispute.
there are a few considerations in 1 the
problem to which at‘ention might per-
haps very well be given, as bearing
directly upon it.
The history if postal reductions in
Canada, as in every other country on
the face of the earth,;have gone to show
that the result was not a permanent
falling off in revenue but a steady gain
and improvement. There a time in the
history of Canada when the letters were
not carried so cheaply through the.mai1s
as “they are now. For instance, prior
to 1851, the Canadian domestic letter
rate was eighteen cents per half ounce.
In 1751 this was cut down to six cents,
areduction of sixty-six and two thirds
per cent and the result was that in the
fourth year af.er the change the reve-
nue had recovercd what little was at
first dropped and showed a surplus be-
sides. A further reduction took place
in Canada in 1868. In the interval the
rite had been reduced to tive cents and
in that year it was reduced to three
cents. The outcome was ; again a sur-
pluszinside of three years.. The records
also show that with each reduction in a
rate the volume of correspondence has
gone forward with leaps and bounds,
ln :he year,1868, when a. five cent rate
was in vogus, the domestic maiil was
18f100.000., In 1869, under a three cent
rate, it increased to 921,220,000, a gain
of twenty one per cent.
From these figures it may kc seen
that though the 'reduction of thirty-
three and a half percent is a large one
on bpth British and domestic mails it is
not beyond speedy reparation. The
bulk of the population in Canada, as
elsewhere, pay largely toward the
maintenance of our means of direct
comiuunication with the rest of the
world. Large subsidies are gathered
for all the ocean sleamsbip lines and
for railway construction. Yet what
proportion can ever avail, or hope to
avail themselves of the faculties for
travel abroad to Britain or to Europe E’
Then may not the mail be regarded as
the poor man’s channel of communica.
tion with other scenes and friends he
can never see. Let the cost of manage-
ment ihere be reduced to the minimum
and give the experiment a test. Cana-
dians will, under the new conditions,
enjoy posialfaciliiies probably as favor-
able as any nation an the face of the
earth-perhaps more so. The experi-
ence of the United States is reissuiing.
It was in 1883 that the United States
.reduced its letter rate from three to two
cents per half ounse. It was subsequent-
ly changed to one ounce and Canada
alsolollowed her example by raising
the unit of weight. In 1887 the United
States revenue had recovered from the
double effect of the out in rate and the
increase in the unit of weight and show-
ed S3,000,000 revenue to the good. lf
it were necessary citations could be
added from the postal records of Britain.
France and other countries where in
each case history has simply repeated'
herself.
Where the country is one with a rap-
idly growiug population the case is apt
to be particularly favorable to the re-
duction of postal rates.
