Discussion on Immigration. Better Class of
Immigrants’ Comming in, Bringing tfdlire 
Money iilthough
~ 1! l
A-as
Fewer in Number.
._.._i_&____
(From our own Reporter.)
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,

OTTAWA, March 12.-Notice was
given today by I-lon. J. D. Hazen
that be will move next week for the
npnointmellt once again of the spec-
ial committce to consider the ques-
tion of pl'e.ven>ti0n of the pollution
of navl-gable waters, the bill of Sen-
ator Belcourt which has already
passed the Upper Chamber and rl
similar measure introduced by Georee
H. Bradbury in the Commons will
be referred to the committee for con-
sideration. _
Last year this committee collected
a great deal of information on the
subject and heard a number of writ-
nesses. It will wind up its work this
session and make a report to the
House so that before the Commons
adjournls legislation is likely to bc
enacted.

lic meeting was held in the -Y. M. C.

Department in Prince County.
Dr. A. A. McLellan was called to

ipropositlons would be placed before
the meeting by delegates from the
Summerside Board of Trade, with
reference to the proposal for the
purchase by the Government of the
Crystal Rink. 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.
