"There are hundreds of first class
farm workers in Scotland anxious to
come to Canada, and the finest ma-
terial Canada could wish for, but
their wages are sufficient to barely
support them and they are unable to
accumulate funds for the passage;'

Scotland, of the Canadian Pacific
Railway Colonization and Develop-

cently arrived in Canada with a
party of Scotch immigrants bound
for the western provinces.
To J. K. L. Ross, director of the

2 inches; girth, 6 feet. Commander
Ross used a Vora Hofe tuna rod and
reel, No. 39 thread line, with
mackerel for bait. His catch took
three and a quarter hours to land.
