TO Tin: (^UKKN'S MOST EKCKLLEKT MA.IKSTV. May it please Your Ma.jkstt: We, tho uiulersigned ( -oinmissionerfl appointed under Your Majesty's Sii^u Manual for the pur])oso of carrying out a scheme of colonisation in tlic Dominion of Canada, of croftors and cottars from the Western Highlands, and islands of Scotland, and from the congesicd districts of irc^land, desii'o huiid)ly to submit to Your ]\rajcRty tho following Report : - Reports have been received from tlie agent of the Board in Canada. relatii:g to the settlements at Killar"ey, in Manitol.a, and at .Saltcoats, in tiie North- \Vesl 'i't;nitories of Canada, for the ^. "ar 1 '^U;'). The former was establisl\ed in the f^unimer of ISSS, prior to the constitutntn of the Board, and tho latter in the spring of 1>>0, most of the families also having been selected before the first meeting of tie Roard. Statements arc appended containing extracts from tiie agent's reports (Appendix A.) and statistics (A[)pendix B.) showing the position of the settlements in lS'J,"i, and giving the acreage under various crops, live stock on the farms, and otlier information. KiUnrnoj Si'lUrmnit . There are 54 homosteails under cultivation in tlie Killarney Settlement, which numbers about 160 persons. Tlie area undor cultivation in 181)5 was '2.;}()4\' acres, and the additional area in'okei and under summer fallow was 1,21(9 1 acres, or a total of 3,004 acres, as compared with :3,.j20 acres in lNU4. Dividing this area among the 30 families forming the settlement, the average is about 120 acres ])or family. It includes 1,130 acres undercropnnd in summer fallow, on th(; iiomesteads of 20 younger members of the various famihes, an average of about 5('> acres each. It will be seen that the yield of wheat in the settlement in 1S95 was 41>,112 bushels as compared with 21,797 in 1S94. There were also 14,5SS bushels of (V'.ts raised, and 4,220 bushels of ])otatoes, as compared with 4,263 bushels and 3.2U7 bushels in the previous year resj)ectivoly. The agent reports the reasons which led to the area of land under wheat being rather smaller than in the previcms year. However, owing to a favourable season, the total product of grain and potatoes was (')7,926 bushels, as coi -ared with 29,267 bushels last year. The value of the wheat raised was if; 19,644, of oats $2,188, and of potatoes $845, as compared with .'j;8,718, .$639, and <,^A\ , iu 1894. ' It will bo 80t-ii that, in fidditioii to ihe aiiitnals rciiialMiiii^' of tlioso originally snppliod by tho Board, now in the possession of tlu' crofters, tliey iiavo acquired !')S lioraes, 51 oxen, S2 cows, (>3 heifers, is steers, .'51 bulls, ami '.'2 pigs. Tiie nuinljer of cliickons and (ither poultry '.;\uied by the various faTUilies is l.fs-l. These liii:urcs show a satia- t'actory increase over the previous year, while, as will lie si'en from tiio returns, ',he increase as compared with 1S90 is romarkabio. Some >>( the horses and horned btock are believed to be eucniiibered by mortgages, but tlu^ larger proportion, especially of tho latter, are reiiorU'd bv tho agent as belouLrinir t(j the wives or vount'or members of the families. The families in the sottlemr it '. avo cut 749 tuns of hay, rather lesb than was prepared in 181*4. for the use ot ^.lO stock during tlie winter. In the report hist year it was mentioned that a proportion of the homesteads in the settlement had been nominally .sold by tho Munii'ipalily for taxes. It liecaino necessary for the Board to pay those taxes on behalf of the crofters, in order ro maintain its security. If this had not been done the nominal sales would ha\o become a reality, the crofters wnuld have been ejected from their holdings, and the land would have passed into the hands of new owners. Acting on the instruction.s of the Treasury, the cnjfters wero informed that, unless they made certain payments to the Board in November, on account of overdue instalments and of llit^ uii])aid taxes foreclosure proceedings would be commenced. Some jiayments were made as the residt. but they wmv little more than nominal, and the lawyers wero instructed to take action with a view to eiuible the Boaril to gain possession tif the lands. The object the Board has in view is not the ejectment of the settlers, but to obtain jiossession of the lands; .and then under a new arrangement to lease them to the crofters. The intention is that the repayments in iheform of rent should be sjnead over a number of years, and be ii tirst charge uiuin the crt)ps and chattels of the crofters. A measure of the kinii will, it is lielieve 1, commenil itself to the croft«rs, as it jiossesses many advantaijes from their standpninl During the year a deleg;ition from the settlement waited upon tho Secretary for Scotland to e\pl:nn the position of the crofters. They referred to the large indebtod- ness they had incurred in addition to their ol)ligations to the Board. They pointed out that year by year judgments were dbtained against them, and that in view of tie expenses incurred, and of tho largo interest they had to pay, all their earnings, or nearly all, were swept away annually to satisfy their creditors, without decreasing, to any considerable decree, tlie extent of ilieir oblis^'iuions. This is not only a serious matter for them ijersonally, but it makes it almost imjiossible for them to rejiuy the money advanced by the Board. The delegates M'ere informed that they luid better endeavour to arrange a com- promise with their creditors, and that if it were very feasililc the m.atter might be takei! into eonsiderafidn by the Board, with a view to see if arrangements were jjossible by which tho settlement could again be placed in a BOund financial condition. The delegates represented that certain of the cmfters were also in need of seed grain, and, in response to those urgent re]ireseiitations, tho Ti-easury authorised the expenditure of a sum not exceeding 2(M)/. for llie purpose. It is believed, however, that the whole of this amount was not expended. There ajipeurs to have been some dissatisfaction in the settlement, on the part of the crofters, in regard t ) various matters ; but inquiry has shown that the grievances largely arose from the non-payment of ihe municipal taxes, and advances for seed grain, and from the steiis winch were taken by the local authorities, and by the Board to protect their respective interests. The position (if the various families in the settlement, their liabilities to the Board, and to (Ither creditors, and the extreiue consideration shown to them by the Board since the date the settlements were formed, wore so fully mentioned iu the last re])ort that it is unnecessary to refer to them again in detail. The Saltcoats Settlement. There are 14 families at Saltcoats, and 8 younger members of the families who have taken up land, making .altogether 22 setth;rs. The settlement contains about 90 persons. They had l';2 acres under cultivation, and during the year had breaking, or land in summer fallow, to the extent of 29 acres, or a grand total of 191 acres, as compared witli 272 acres in the preceding year. The value of the various crops in 1895 Wiis $1,391 as compared with §052 iu 'l894. Tlu) oroftors Lavcj not, it is Htatfil. howu a larger area uf ^vixm. l)eciuise thoy prefer to ilovoto moi'o attoiition to tbc rai.siiin' dt' livu stock, wliich bcSMk'.s being more l)rotUabl(' tuiables tliuiti tu ^'d out and caiii taoiiov I'liiriiii^' the 8eoilin crot'tors have repaid the instalments due to the Hoard or any part, of them. Indeed, they all profess their inability to do so. 'I'hey wish to give up their farms and to enter tor new iioldings in other districts, and the IJoard is in eomnnmication with the Canadian (Jovei'miient, in oriler to see whether an aiTange- nicnt of the kimi can be etleeted without impairing the security of the IJoard. In view of the diP'-'ulties connected with the Saltcoats settlement, and of the possibility of a reinov d being arranged, foreclosure })roceodiugs have not been in stituted agaJMst the crofters at Saltcoat? Iho part evances or seed Board Board, le Board \\ui last lies who Is about Ireaking, icrcB, as props in ('onrhi.Hii/t. It cannot bo denied th.t. in the Civso of the Killarney settlement, it would probably have ])een at the present time in a floiirisiiing condition but for the debts contracted by the crofLtMS in the early day> ot the srtt lenient. Tiiey incurred obligations which th(!y have never been able to ^et rid of. and wliieii continue to increase notwithstanding the payments that are made on account, ll.ul they paid their taxes, and for the municipal advances of seed iriain. when the payments became due, thoy would als(j have saved themselves legal ami other e\peiises that have been incurreil in connexion with tlie matter. If the serious obligations which now press upon the crofters, and for which the Board is in no way responsible, can bo modified, and the land leased to the crofters on a system of easy repayments, there is still reason to beliov(! that the settlement may achieve the success it ought long ago to have attained. The position of the Saltcoats settlers is not so satisfactory, 'i'he district has not turned out to be as favourable as was anticipated, but. on the other hand, the crofters have no cr(>ditors outside the (yuJoni.-.-ition !5oard. In considering the progress of affairs at both Killarney and Saltcoats, regard must be had to the general agricultural ileiiression in every part of the world, and to the considerable reduction that has taken place in the pric(>s of dilVereut kinds of agricultural produce. All of which we humbly submit to Your Majesty's gracious consideration. iS.VLFOUR OF iiURLKlGll. HORACE I'LUNKETT. ,l.\.Mi:s KING. IMINALI) A. SMITH. COLIN SCOTT-MONCRIEFF.
