Before the committee on Apiculture and Colonizatiou of the Commons at Oa. tawa, Mr. W. D. neott, superintendent. of inemigre.tion, made an important statement as to the work of his ()overt- ment during the last few years, Mr. Scott saalo As I have not anpearea benne) tbie committee since 1908, coasider it 'wise to enter into a bviel review ot the vol- ley and work of the ilepartatent with which I am connected; giving an oppor- tunity to members, after I have fin- ished this review to question me upon any point which I have omitted, or opon which they require elaboration. The policy of the department at the present time is to encourage the immi- gration of farmers, farm laborers and female domestic servants from the Unit- ed States, the British Isles and, certain Northern European countries, namely, Prance, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, niveaen ana Iceland. On the 'other hand it is the policy of the department to do all in its power to keep out of the country undesirables which, for the purposes of this review, I will divide into three elesses: 1. Those physically, mentally or mon ally unfit, whose exclusion was pro- veded for 'by aet of parliament last ses sion, 2, Those belonging to nationalities unlikely to assimilate and who, conse- quently, prevent the. building up of a united nation of people of similar cus- toms and ideals, 3. Those who from their mode of life and occupations are likely to crowd into urban centers and. bring about a state of congestion which might result in unemployment ana it lowering of the standard of our national life. IN OLD COUNTRY, Having dealt thus Lir with the gen- eral inunigration hailley, I will onw molder the work in mmetries outeide of Cianada. la Great Britain and Ire - lane. the immigration eiropaaanda caeried on by advertisemeuts in the newspapers, particular use 'being made of agricultural journele ancl papers eirenlatino wholly or largely in the •ag- ricuitaralb distriete, very little eximuse being incurred with papers whose cir- culation is largely urban, The adver- tising in the newsmen le of twe classes -- regular aisplay advertise- ments which Canada offers, end giving the address of the limed Govetnment office where full information ean be obtained regarding the -country; and accounts of tried throughout the eonto try by journalists of note - the laser - tion of sach teing arranged! for by the Departmeut, sometimes at a regular advertising Tate, or sometimes in re- turn for adrertising which hae been given to those journale. In practical- ly no cane does the Department od- vertise in a newspaper which refusee, when requested, to poolieh a reesou. able amount ef good ivading regaraing this country. At the present time in the British Isles the. Department is ad- vertising in 550 papera, in the British Isles a method of adrertisement wlach !me been very satisfactory has been the exhibit wagons, of which there are two, one working in the mirth of Scot- land and the other throughout; Ire- land, and two motors,' which travel throughout rural Engem' from the middle of atarch until the end of Oc. tober, Thew: ears contalit-samplee Canadian mina etc., and the parties chorge stop wherever a crowd can most couveniently be collected, lecture on the. country, and listrihute pani- phleta, ana disseminAte information generally. These ears are ,present as many markets and fairs as poaeible, regular exhibits also being made at many of the faira. THE ASIATICS. While neither the law nor the orders - in -council passed thereunder absolutely prohibit the landing in Canada of per- sons belonging to the second and third classes mentioned, still their entry has been Made extremely difficult by the passing of orders -in -council Nos. 026, 018 and 920, \filch provide in brief that all persons of Asiatic origin must have in their possession, and in their own Tired at time of lanaing, the sum of $200 each in cash; that all iraraigrants coming halm the countries issuing pass- ports or penal certificates shall be re- quired to produce either or both at time of arrival, and that all immigrants must come directly from the country of their birth or citizenship on tickets pier - chased in that country or prepaid ni Canada. None of these ord.ers-in-coun- cil in any way interfere with the entry into Canada of desirable citizens or subjects of tbe countries from which I have already mentioned emigration is encouraged, but they do put many ob- stacles in the way of immigrants from Asia and Southern ana Eastern Europe, and, coosequently, the numbers coming or likely to come from those coun- tries are correspondingly diminished. There is just one other order -in -council which is restrictive in its tendency, namely, P, C. 924, which provides that immigrants must have from March 1 to October 31 the snm of $25 per adult of $12.50 per child in their possession at time of landing, unless going to em- ployment at farm work, or, in cale Of female. to domestic service, or going to join certain specified relatives, able and willing to care for them, the amounts specified being doubled for the period between November 1 and March 1. It was felt by the government that persons going to city employment, where thee would be without near rela- tives, woula really require that amount to keep Cum independent until the first week's wages were due. I may just bare point out that the result of this regulation has been to greatly diminish the amount uecessitry to be expended on the care of indigent immigrants; for instance, in 1907-08 there was spent through the Winnipeg office $23,000 for looking after new -comers before they could be permanently settled, whereds, in 1909-10, the amount Apent for the same purpose was only $9,000. A GOOD PROOF. Likewise throughout the whole Do- minion reports of hardship amonget newly licrived immigrants have prude. eely disappeared since the inaugura- tion of the money requirement regula. don, Of course, I do not claim it is by any zneans an Infallible test, but stil, generally speaking, the fact that an immigrant money in his poseee- sion at time of landing may be accept- ed as proof that he has been thrifty and industrious, While it is admitted by al who come directly in contact with the tboueands who yearly arrive in the country that a marked improve - merit in the class of iinnugrants was noticeable almost immediately after the going iitto force ot the restrictive regulations, this is not the only point upon which the country may congratu- late itaelf, for while the guality has improved Gm quantity has inereazed, The only reason ean give for this is that =ray held back front going to Canada when they thought there was ao open door through which all and eundry might enter who are noiv eager to take up their home in the Dominion when satIsfied tht due eare is being exereisea in the -admission of new set. tlere. So much for the policy, With sagard to the administration of that policy, ean only say that at all times the department has endeovored to be its just and humane as possible, bear. ing in mind, however, that ite auty to Canada. and to Canada only, arid that while every Applicant for admis- sion who is likely to be an aequisition to the country shall be admitted if the law Will admit it, on the other hana, every etemen who is likely to be a dete THOSE REJECTED. Durnig the calendar year 1909, 155 British immigrants were rejected at ocean ports, and during the calendar year 1910, 252 British immigrants were rejected at the ocean ports. Of these numbers it May be interesting to you to know that in 1009 21 were rejected for insanity and 7 for tuberenlosis, while in 1910 19 Were rejected for insan- ity and 20 for tuberculosis. After being messed by the la -migration officials, im- migrants attended to the checking ot their baggage and arrange for their in- land transportation, after which they embark on special trains 'And proceed to their destination, Owing to the large number of arrivals from the United States it was felt that some system of inspection along the in- ternational boundary should be inaug- urated, and in April, 1908, a system of border inspection was established and gradually extended until the present, when all recogaized metes of travel are covered by departmental officials. In 1008-00 there were rejected 4,580 intend- ing inunigrants, which increased to 8,997 in 1900-10. At the present time there are employed on this border service OD regular dicers and 132 customs officers, who also attend to immigration mat- ters. At Vancouver and Victoria an examination is made of trans -Pacific passengers similar to that conducted at Quebec, St john and Halifax on the east coast. all the British offices lecturing is one of the most important branches, and hundreds of lectures are delivered every year by the regular staff. The distribution of Cae,ndian atlases and school timps is having an excellent ef- fect in directing the attention of the Tieing generation towards Canada, while the millions of copies of immigra- tion pamphlets desirtbuted in the past few years has gone a great way towards dispelling that ignorance regardino Can- ada which was at one eime only an no- ticea,ble in tbe mother 'country. Next to newspaper advertising, the exhiibts at fall fairs in rural villages and county towns is the next best me- thod, of advertising in the United States. These exhibits are seen by exactly the class of aeople. wanted in Canada, and no stronger argument can be made to them than a view of the produce of this country, which comperes so favorably both in quality and quantity With that grown in the United States. 'from the regular pffices and at exhibitions aro distributed large numbers of the pain- phlets prepared by the department. In' the United States, the departraeut hes 45 sub -agents who issue to intending, settlers certificates which entitle them to a cheap rate on Canadian railways, besides giving to the intending immi- grants information which would be of tele to them. These sub -agents are paid a commission of $3, $2 and 1 on men, WoMen and children. tinder 18 years of age, belonging to the farm class, whom they send to the Doininion.

TIME TO PAINT A -SHIP, The latest thing in ship'paInting is to apply no paint at all—not until they have been at sea for some months At any rate. The conetane repainting of armor- ed. ships and ships with steel hulls in- volves an enormous east, and since it has been found that when a •vessel is ea lowed to go „ unpainted for several months the steel scales, which usually come loose under the paint and afford an opportunity for rust to attack the surface, wear off, the British Govern- tuent is experimenting with unpainted craft. The tramping ship Exmouth was .the first one tried. It was given two months at lea with no paint and tben- given four COats in dry dock. At the end of five years there was scarcely a trace of wear except at the water line, and the bat - tom was in perfect condition. The Idea was first suggested by A. C. Holzpapfel, who bad made a study of the Exmouth, and now the steel ships are all put out to soak before being painted.—Chleago Tribune. or MOPS quickly stops coughs, cures colds., healt thn throat and tunes. • • • aS cears.

This duty was performed very indifferently, bac the climax was reached at the execu- tion of a bookkeeper in Ottelph named Harvey. This poor man liad been rather well brought up, and hls salary did not prove /3 uffieient to sup. port the family in the manner in which they thought they should live. Harvey, in a moment of weakness, ex- propriated Some of his employer's money, aml to cover it up, falsified the books. One step led to another, and as time went on he became more mid more invilved. lie learned that an accounting was to be made, and being a highly -strung man, he felt that he could not stand the disgrace of exposure, and loving his family, he felt that it would be wrong to leave them to bear the brut of it.

'He then repaired to the public school and asked for his two young daugh- ters.

Subsequentiy he telepleoned to his son, who had a clerkship in an office in Toronto, to meet Lim on the arival of the Guelph train at the Union Station. Harvey was on the train on his way to this city when the tragedy was discovered, and the police of Guelph communicated with Toronto, and when Harvey stepped off the train at the Union Station he was aceosted by a detective instead of his son. He was subse. quently tried, eonvicted, and sentenced to be hanged. There was no doubt in the minds of the authorities that Hare vey intended to kill his son and com- plete the chapter by conunitting suicide. HANGING OF HARVEY. ONTARIO MARRIAGE LAW. (Detroit Journal.) A runaway couple from Sandusky, the boy Mend the girl 14 years of age, were married by a Windsor, clergyman Saturday night. The law of Ontario, it seems, does not prevent school claildren from getting married if they have the few dollars necessary to pay the mar- riage license lesuer end the elergyutan. In this case the minister says he ques- tioned the couple closely, and they gave their ages at 21 and 19. A girl of 14 might dress up to look like 19, although it is doubtful; but to mistake a boy of 13 eor man of 21 seems absurd. That the minister haa his serious doubts is evidenced by his own state - meat that be questioned them closely.

The scene at the hanging of poor Harvey at Guelph jail was one of the most gruesome in the annats of Cana- dian justice. A farm laborer, whose identity was not revealed, officiated. When the platform droppel the noose alined, and the condemned man was in the throes of strangulation for fully twenty-five minutes before death put a period to his suffeeings, Following this travesty a great cry went up from one end of the Dominion to the other, and the advocates of the abolition ot capital punishment gained many ad- herents. So loud was the outcry that the Dominion Government was forced to take cogoizence of it, with the re- sult that a permanent hangman was appointed, at a salary of $800 per year, with the stipulation that for each hang- ing he was to receive from the sheriff the usual fee and all his travelling and other expenses. The identity of the ex- aert selected was not revealed. HOW IDENTITY WAS REVEALED. Shortly after the appointment of au official hangman the Bharat ease loomed large in the public eye, and, it remained for a Toronto reporter, who subsequently went much higher in the :scale, to solve the mystery.
