The Natural Resources Intelligence
Servico of the Dept.. of the Interior
at' Ottawa says: -
Ann area slightly less than two hun-
dred million acres lies within tI a sur-
veyed tract of the three Prairie Pro-
vinces, What has-been done with this
vast territory? Twenty-five years
ago Canada was caI'ling from the
housetops that free homesteads were
available to all. The call for settlers
produced amazing resu:te. Today
there are nearly ninety million acres
of the Iand in the three provinces oc-
cupied as farm land. Undoubtedly
the best 'of -the land open for home-
steading has been taken: up. No less
than 72,131,000 acres have beers grant-
ed to settlers and others in the form
of homesteads, land sales, botinty
grants, half-breed scrip, etc. Grants
to railways and to the Hudson's Bay.
Co. have absorbed 88,482,000 acres
of the surveyed area, while 27,422,000
acres have been set aside, for forestry
purposes. Indian reserves, school
lands, parks, grazing • leases, water -
covered land, and road allowances ac-
count for 85,964,000 acres, leaving a
total of 25,957,000 acres not allocated
at the commencement oS the -
present
year.
Studied solely with. an "eye to the
surveyed lands still held by the Crown,
the }western lend situation might; not
look very promising for further large
settlerment. There are, however, two
other important factors to takeintoaccount.
First, the surveyed area pan and,
in time, will be somewhat enlarged
when the railway network is extend-
ed into areas which are still to re-
mote to warrant surveys, Iet e1one
settlement.
Secondly, there are the privately
owned unoccupied -lands within.:. the
present surveyed areas. -than• is, the
lands bald for sale by indivtduats and
by the railways and the Hudson's Bay
Co. '1t is estimated that there are
