IN THE LONE LANDS
Taking the Census in Remote Por-
tions of the Dominion.
Total Population Expected to Number
About Eight Millions.
Ottawa, May 28.— Canada's filet
census returns, showing a population
of 1,800 for over one hundred thou.
sand equate miles of territory, has
been received at the Census Bureau.
The return covers the four -hundred -
mile stretch of territory along the'
west coast of Hudson Bay, north from
Fort Churchill to Chesterfield Inlet,
and inland as far as the trappers and
Esquiniaux of that district, penetrate.
The figures were gathered during the
past winter by the Northwest Mount-
ed Police patrol at Churchill. Of the
total population of this great area
only about two hundred are whites,
the balance being Esquimau; with a
few Indians.
Ten_ years hence, with the advent
of the Hudson Bay Railway, whieh
will be under construction by the
Government in a few mantis, and.
with the development of Hudeoza, .Bay
as the new route for trade 'between
Europe 'and western Canada the next
census will probably Canada,
more
thousands than there are now hun-
dreds. But at present, with the ex-
ception of the Arctic and Antarctic
regions, the district is one of the most
sparsely populated in the world, This
is the first time an attextipt has
been made to secure anything like an
aecurate estimate of the population,
previous estimates 'being based. mere -
on. nureliable reports of mission -
arms, trappers and other casual ex-
plorers of the northern wilds.
In the presenb census of Canada an
attempt is being made to cover ac-
curately every bit of Canadian teri.
tory where human life is known to
exit. The district of Ungava, stretch-
ing from the east coast of Hudson
Bey to -Labrador, and comprising an
area,of 354,000 square miles, was also
counted by the -Mounted Police last
winter, but no report is yet in. One.
white man to a thousand square
miles of territory there is a liberal
estimate.
In the far north Cepa Bernier, on
the Government steamer Aretie, is
counting the Esquireaux, whales and
missionariesaround the Arctic circle.
In the western hinter/mid MOunted
Police are taking the . count in the
Mackenzie River basin north to the
Arctic Ocean. Their report is not ex-
pected until October next.
With the exception of these outer-
most districts, however, Chief Cen-
sus Connnissioner Archibeld Blue ex-
pects to have the population figures
of all the Provinces ready about the
end of July, Final returns, it is ex-
pected, will show a total -population
of slightly over 8,000,000, as com-
pared with 071,3151 according, to
the census of 1901.
This will not inelude any mummer
tourists or transient visitors in the
Dominion. The census is being tak-
en according to the English system.
At each.plitee of abode the enumer-
ator is anstructed to enter only the
tames of all persons who had their
legal residence there on June 1. Thus
all Canadians temporarily abroad will
be enumerated and the figure') will in
no way reflect any temporary move-
ment of population.

LEPROSY CURED.
Successful Treatment of Patients at
Blackwell's Island, N. Y.
yew York, May 29.—That leproay an
be cured is apparently demonstrated by
the disehaege of, two patients at the
Blackwell's Island Hoepital hexe after
several years' treatment in isolation.
The first patient was allowed his free‘
dom eight months ago, but no announce-
ment was made until this week-, as it
was feared that if any publicity were
attached, to the case life would be made
unbearable for the patient.
The second pationt, a woman, was also
discharged some time ago, and. deport.
ed to her old home, in the West Indies,
where she itas since married and is -liv-
ing happily. •
There are still leprosy ;talents under
the eare of the city physicians at Biwa -
well's Island.
The New York Institution for many
years past has wekomed the lepoo who
are driven out of other cities. Though
the general public labors under the old
delusion that leprosy is highly danger-
ous, the Blackwell's Island doctors de-
clare that the leprosy cases are far losa
dangerous than tubereulosis eases, of
which there are over 900 on tbe island.
