elaternents had been tnudeas t„ the wail -
able nrea of agricultural land in the.

t.ad traveled over a great porton of
this country, declared that there was

Athabasea. Another competent w:tness
had said (her.' was as much nveilnble
land in that region as was now settled
west of Winnipeg. The southern bnun-
duu•y et the Province of Tokolsk in Si-
beria was n hundred miles further north
than Edmonton. yet in 1900 Tekolsk
had a pc►puletion of 1.500.000, and pro -
eluted 64.000,003 bushels of wheal alone,
rend over 10,000.000 bushels of oats. If
this was so, why should we not derive
nu equal !►milt from the portions of
our Northwest Territories, which at pre-
sent are remote from settlement.
But in addition to its agricultural

Nineteen tenders were received, the con-
ttact,rs showing greater eagerness this
year to undertake construction work on
the national railway than was the case
last year, when meth r w es more scarce

that the figures quoted this spring by
