The committee then Rose and reported. S House adjourned till to Morrow at 3p.m. U the River to the editor of the fake pm Jess. Surce Reading the ravings of Looker on on the land question in your Wue of 29 dec i thought i would Send a Lew ideas ooh do not seem to have entered that say bin if he has any to charge the present administration with All the sunders in the Manitoba land question both silly and unjust As it is a Well known question had their origin during the reign of the party of Union and if . Or. Mills to the pro sneeze Are indebted for the opening of the River lots on such reasonable terms i think it is a. Great pity he did not visit the province sooner for had the River lots been for tale at per acre to actual settlers Lour years ago. Many of these lots would have been purchased by enterprising Farmers who visited this country for the purpose of secur ing for themselves and families Good Homes and Ere now our River Banks would be Dot Ted with comfortable houses surrounded with cultivated Fields instead of As we now have 7x9 it. Claim holders mud roof and Walls of same material with from two to ten acres ploughed and grown to weeds. The Only perceptible improvement on Many of these lots is the wholesale destruction of valuable Timber by these would to owners who after having made a speculation out of the Timber would Fain coerce the govern ment to sell the land at per acre. If their desire is not granted they threaten to go to the other Side of the line. I think for the Good of the country the sooner they go the better. It is True there Are exceptions. Some of the squatters Are making Good improvements but they Are Nob themen who make the most noise about the Prico of per acre. On the contrary they Are Satis tied with the arrangement if they obtain a reasonable time to pay. Some of our Best settlers and most Thrifty Farmers Are those who bought out half Breed claims at from to per acre where they could get a Good title. If these men got a fair bargain years ago surely the govern ment is not asking too much now after reserving the River Lota from the pioneers of the country and compelling them to go Back on the. Prairie it would be an act of injustice to sell them now at per acre. Those very same squatters who object so strongly to paying when asked to sell their claims have no scruples in asking and even per acre for their claims Only. If Looker on was a very close observer he must have noticed that Good settlers have left the province because they could not Purchase these very lands. Jan. 21st, 1878. B r. Manitoba Curling club.
