PREFACE. 
 
 A circular was issued by the Department of Agriculture 
 to every Village and Post Office throughout the Dominion, 
 requesting an estimate, as nearly accurate as possible, of the 
 labour wants. Answers to these circulars were very gene- 
 rally received ; and the result of the tabulation of them may 
 be found in the accompanying pa^es. 
 
 In addition to the labour wants, the questions had refer- 
 ence to the price of improved and unimj^roved land, with the 
 terms of payment ; the rent of farms, and if rented on shares, 
 what share the owner receives ; the average rate of wages for 
 each trade in each of the Provinces, the system of agricul- 
 ture pursued in the various counties, whether grain or dairy 
 farming, ^vhat mills or factories are in operation, and what 
 mines or quarries. 
 
 It may be stated that the information received was not so 
 full in relation to Manitoba and British Columbia^ as from Vug 
 older Provinces. 
 
 The total figure.^, gathered from the returns, show the 
 number of persons for whom employment could be found 'is 
 as follows : 
 
 Ontario 99,794 r 
 
 Quebec 38,358 
 
 Nova Scotia 17,931 
 
 ^ New Brunswick 18,606 
 
 Manitoba 861 
 
 Making a total of 175,550 
 
 It will appear from statements of the tables in detail 
 
that tlie chief (lemand is for agricultural and other labourers 
 and domestic female servants. But there is at the same time 
 demand for a considerable number of Immigrants skilled in 
 common trades, carpenters, blacksmiths, shoe-makers, tailors, 
 bricklayers, masons and plasterers. 
 
 It may be stated generally that the demand for agricul- 
 tural and other labourers in the Dominion for some time to 
 come will be likely to exceed the supply. But there is ft 
 limit to the number of tradesmen who could be at present ab- 
 sorbed I and the classes of professional men and clerks of all 
 kinds should not be advised to emigrate to Canada, unless to 
 places previously obtained, as the tendency from within the 
 Dominion itself is to an over supply of these callings.

 TERMS OF PAYMENT. 
 
 The tciTOS of payment in all the Province^; a"e generally one-third 
 cash, the balance in 3, 5 or 10 years, as may be agreed upon, at from 7 to 
 8 pel cent, interest. 
 
 RENT OF FARMS. 
 
 The ren i varies according to the no turo of the farms, the quality of soil, 
 anJ thestnte of cultivation. From ^3 to §5 p, acre may be usually counted 
 as the average rent of an ordinary farm, but one with superior buildings, 
 and --.nder high cultivation, commands a higher rental. If t^ farm is 
 rented on shares, the owner generally receives one-thii'd, but in certain 
 cases, under special agreement, where he furnishes seed and imple- 
 ments, he receives one-lialf. Farming': on thirds is the most common 
 system adopted throughout the count rj', and is found to work to ^ao 
 satisfaction of all parties.

 Public Land and Free Grants. 
 
 PROVINCE OP ONTARIO. 
 
 The price of snch Govornnient lands as are for sale varies with tlie 
 situation. In the Als?oina District it is ten pence per acre, but that is a 
 somewhat remote region. Tlie usual price for the more accessible traets 
 ist"rom2s. to 15s. per acre. Tlie regulations, under whicli tlie lands are 
 sold, vaiy considerably according as they are of ordinary character, or 
 specially valuable for their timber or minerals. The usual I'cttlement 
 duties required before a patent is issued for the lands occupied are, the 
 building of a " habitable house," and 20 acres on a 200 acre lot tobecleaiod 
 and vmder crop. 
 
 There are some three millions and a halt acres of surveyed Govern- 
 ment lauds not yet taken up, and more than fifty millions of acres not 
 yet surveyed. The greater part of the lands not yet taken up lie in the 
 region bounded on the east by the Ottawa River, on the west byAhe 
 Georgia)^ Bay, and on the south by the more northerly of what are called 
 the fron townships, and which are more or less settled. 
 
 Free Grants. 
 
 The Provincial Government has thrown open, upon the most liberal 
 tcrrais, a large tract of land, including 53 townships, and about three mil- 
 lions of acres, where persons may go and select for themselves the site of 
 a future liome. Every head of a family can obtain, gratis, two hundred 
 acres of land, and every person arrived at the age of 18 may obtain one 
 hundred acres, in the Free Grant districts. This offer is made by the 
 Government to all persons without distinction of sex, so that a lai'ge 
 family, haying several children in it at or past 18 years of age, may take 
 up a large tract, and become in a few years, when the land is cleared and 
 improved, joint possessors of a valuable and beautiful estate. The 
 settlement duties are : to have 15 acres on each grant of 100 acres cleared 
 and under crop, of which at least two acres are to be cleared and culti- 
 vated annually for five years ; to build a habitable house, at least 16 by 20 
 feet in size ; and to reside on the land at least six months in each year. 
 
 The best season of the year to go on a free grant is the month of 
 September, after harvest work in the old settlements is over. There is 
 time to put up a house, and get comfortably settled before the winte r 
 sets in ; and during the winter, the work of chopping and clearing can 
 go on. In this ^ay, a crop can be got In during the first spring.

 Public Land and Free Grants. 
 
 PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. 
 
 The Government of Ciuebec offers for colonization some 6,-100^000 
 acres of land, divided into farm lots, nearly half of which are accessible 
 by means of good roads, and more than two-thirds of which are fit for 
 settlement. The price of these farms varies from twenty to sixty cents 
 per acre. 
 
 The following are the principal conditions of sale ;— 
 To pay one-fifth of the purchase money at the date of the sale, and 
 tne remainder in four equal annual instalments, with interest at six per 
 cent, per year ; to take possession of the land sold within six months 
 from the date of sale, and to reside on and occupy the same, either by 
 himself or through others, for at least two years from the date of the 
 said sale. In the course of the first four years the settler must clear and 
 
 gJace under cultivation at least ten acres for every hundred acres held by 
 im, and erect on his farm a habitable house, of the dimensions at least 
 of sixteen feet bv twenty. 
 
 Free Grants. 
 
 Upon eight colonization roads, every male colonist and emigrant, 
 being at least eighteen years of age, may o\)tain a free grant of 100 acres. 
 The number of acres of land set aside to be disposed of in free grants is 
 about 84,050 ; but the Lieutenant Governor in Council may increase the 
 quantity if found necessary. 
 
 The principal centres of colonization are the valleys of the Saguenay, 
 St. Maurice and Ottawa, to the north of the St. Lawrence; and the 
 Eastern Townships, the Lower St Lawrence and Gasp6, to the south of 
 the St. Laurence.

 Public Land. 
 
 PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA. 
 
 There are now in Nova Scotia nearly four :gaillions of acres of 
 ungranted lands, a considerable quantity of which is unfit for cultivation; 
 but there is a great deal in blocks of from five thousand to ten thousand 
 acres of really valuable land, and some ot it the best in the Province, 
 and quit« accessible, being very near present settlements. The price of 
 crown lands is $M (£8 IGs stg.) T)er 100 acres. Wo distinction is made in 
 the price between 100 acres and smaller lots, as the difference in cost of 
 survey is very trifling. An emigrant would liave to pay as much for 
 twenty acres as for one hundred acres. Any quantity oyer one hundred 
 acres must be paid for at the rate of 44 cts. per acre. The cost of survey 
 is defrayed by the Government.

 SURVEYED LAND. 
 
 One dollar (is. English) per acre ; none in market at present, but the 
 Government is engaged in making extensive and accurate surveys of 
 those districts in tne province most available for settlement. 
 
 UNSURVKYED LAND. 
 
 ZTnsurvejjed land is disposed of under a system called " Pre-emp- 
 tion," specially meant to meet the case of the settler with small means. 
 Under this system a man over eighteen years may get a right to land 
 many years before he has to pay the money for It. The quantity he can 
 get is 320 acres in one part of the province, and 160 acres in other parts. 
 
 The settler chooses his land; gives rough plan to Government; 
 pays record fee, 2 dollars (8s. English; puts in corner posts, and, per- 
 sonally or by licensed substitute, occupies the place for four yeax's ; leave 
 of absence two months, or special leave of four months in a year ; if 
 he dies without a will, heirs step into his shoes, widow holds during 
 mhiority of children, or while shej is unmarried; a settler can sell to 
 another his "pre-emption claim" to the land, if land has been im- 
 proved to the extent of 2 dollars 50 cents (10.s. English) per acre. 
 
 JVo payment for the land has to he nwde by a settler, or his heirs, until 
 the Ooverntnent survey reach it. This may ot be for years. The 2^^106 is 
 7U>t to be more than I dollar {is. English) per acre. The Government will 
 not oak for this money immediately on the survey of the land having been 
 made. The payment may be spread over four years furthei' ahead. The 
 settler does not pay interest. 
 
 Tracts of land near the land actually occupied can be leased for gra- 
 zing purposes, on terms designed to be liberal to the pre-emptor. 
 
 FREE GRANTS. 
 
 The Government is authorised to make free or partially free grants 
 of land, and to sell lands in large quantities, for purposes of colonisation. 
 
 Military and naval officers in Her Majesty's service are entitled to 
 free grants on certain conditions.

 Itian grain raising, there being more pasture land adapted for that pur- 
 pose than arable land. Of tlie cereals raised in that part of the Pro- 
 vince, oats and barley are grown to a greater extent than wheat, the 
 climate being more adapted for spriog sown grain. Spring wheat is 
 principally raised there, though fall wheat is also grown to a certain 
 
71 
 
 ■extent. Cheese factories are in existence in almost every townsliip, 
 and large quantities of butter are produced. 
 
 In western Ontario, fail wheat is the staple agricultural crop, which 
 always commands a ready sale and a high price on the market. Boot 
 crops of every description also succeed remarkably well. Stock raising 
 is carried on to a large extent, and the markets of the chief towns and 
 cities at Christmas and Easter exhibit beef worthy of Smithfield and 
 the best markets of the old country. Attention is now being paid to 
 stall-feeding, and farmers especially iji the west are realising handsome 
 prices from fat cattle. Excellent hop6 are raised in various parts of the 
 Province, and fruit of very superior quality is grown in Western Ontario, 
 especially in that part known as the Niagara District, where the peach 
 crop forms in its season a very profitable source of revenue to those pos- 
 sessed of orchards of that fruit. In the Fruit Department of the Pro- 
 vincial Agricultural Show held annually, the Apples, Pears and Plums 
 could vie with the products of the majority of the British shows, and 
 the apples of Western Ontario are one of its staple products. 
 
 In Eastern Ontario fruit culture has not been so much attended to, 
 but yet fair orchards are met with here and there shewing that it only 
 requires care and attention to obtain this valuable adjunct to a home- 
 stead. 
 
 Agriculture. 
 
 PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. 
 
 The soil of the Province of Quebec is extremely rich, and susceptible 
 of the highest degree of cultivation, and adapted for the growth of the 
 most varied products. Cereals, hay, and green crops grow everywhere 
 in abundance where the land Is properly tilled. 
 
 As a grazing country, that part of the Province known as the Eastern 
 Townships is unsurpassed, and this branch of agriculture is very much 
 encouraged owing to the profitable markets almost at the farmers doors. 
 The mode of farming carried on in that section creates a demand for 
 agricultural labor, and gives employment to labourers at good wages. 
 
 Agriculture. 
 
 PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA. 
 
 Grain of every description in Nova Scotia Is regarded as a sure crop, 
 ■ 1 (1 vegetables and roots are raised In large quantities. The Counties or 
 Ar.napolls, Kings and Hants take the first rank for fruit growing and

 general agriculture. Antigonlsh is a splendid grazing county, well 
 adapted for dairy farming, whilst the other counties of the Province 
 raise large quantities of all the best kinds of northern fruits. There is a 
 Kreat deal of land suitable for sheep farming in each county, there being 
 large tracts of open rough pasture that might be made capable of main- 
 taining vast flocks of sheep at a very little expense. 
 
 Agriculture. 
 
 PROVINCE OF NEW BRUNSWICK, 
 
 The soil of New Brunswick compares in its agricultural .productions 
 with that of the other Provinces, more favourably. Grain and root crops 
 succeed well, and though not much of this Province has hitherto been 
 devoted to agricultural pursuits, its chief occupation being lumbering, 
 yet attention is now being directed to that branch of commerce, and 
 from its favourable climate as fine farms will shortly be found in that 
 Province as elsewhere. 
 
 Agriculture. 
 
 PROVINCE OF MANITOBA. 
 
 This Province contains soil of a richness which cannot be surpassed, 
 and the land being principally prairie, requires no clearing. Grain and 
 roots of all kinds yield remarkaDle crops, and the grass of the prairies is 
 well adapted for stock raising. The quality of meat raised has been 
 pronounced of superior excellence. For cattle and horses. Manitoba is 
 equal to the Western States of America, and for sheep raising, far supe- 
 rior. The culture of fruit has oeen neglected, but there is no reason 
 why every farm may not have its orchard there as in other parts of the 
 Dominion.

 PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. 
 
 J^^mers, or other persons with larger vi<!ans, will And either tillage 
 farming, or cattle or sheep farming ?n Britisli Columbia, an agreeable 
 
73 
 
 and profitable occuccition. The natural pastures of the countiV are prac- 
 tically inexhaustible. They will feed several millions of cattle, and at 
 prpK(>nf there are only about 25,000 in the country. The East Cascade 
 region of British Columbia was made by nature to supply the cities on 
 t'le Atlantic and Pacific seaboards with beef, butter, and wool. Why 
 should an English farmer continue to pay rent, and remain under the 
 oobtrol of at.landlord as a leaseholder or yearly tenant, when, with one 
 year's rental, he can purchase a partially prepared farm, with buildings 
 on It. in the thoroughly British province of British Columbia ? 
 
 Farms cannot be made in a day, and it is evident that the demand 
 for farm produce, which the steady growth of the country, and the Cana- 
 dian Pacific Railway and other undertakings, will create in British 
 Columbia, cannot be supplied from existing farms. 
 
 Cattle multiply rapidly, and grow very large. Prices of course 
 depend on quality to a large extent, but a rough average would give £10 
 (50 dollars) for a eow ; £20 (100 dollars) for a horse ; £1 (5 dollars) for a 
 pig ; £1 8s. (7 dollars) for a sheep. 
 
 Minerals. 
 
 'b 
 
 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. 
 
 The mineral resources of Ontario, though as yet but little developed, 
 are very rich and varied. To mention some of the principal articles :— 
 Iron is found in large quantities a short distance back from Lake 
 Ontario, in the comitry between the Georgian Bay and the Ottawa ; also, 
 in the same region, copper, lead, plumbago, antimony, arsenic, manga- 
 nese, heavy spar, calc spar, gypsum or plaster of Paris, marble, 
 pronounced by good judges as fully equal to Carrara, or that obtained in 
 Vermont, and building stone, all of them in large quantities near the 
 surface. Gold has also been found in the same region, but not as yet in 
 quantities Lofficient to pay well. Mica is also found in considerable 
 quantities, and is very profitably worked. 
 
 Silver has been found in large quantities to the north of Lake 
 Superior. Silver Islet, a small island, contains one of the richest veins 
 of this metal ever discovered. 
 
 Petroleum is got in the westerly part of the Province in immense 
 and apparently inexhaustible quantities. The Petroleum trade is now 
 employing capital to the amount of at least $10,000,000. 
 
 Salt is obtained at Qoderich and the neighbourhood, In the shape of 
 brine, from wells sunk to a great depth below the surface. 
 
 Large peat beds exist in many parts of the Province, and the manu- 
 tecture of peat for fuel is now being carried on by two companies. 
 
 Gypsum is found in great abundance for a distance of about thirty- 
 five miles along the Grand River in Western Canada, and large beds of 
 it are opened at Cayuga, York, Seneca, Brantford, and Pai'is. 
 
 <3lkrA^

 Phosphate of Lime has been met with in several places along the 
 Ottawa, and more abundantly near Perth, upon the line of the 
 Rideau Canal. Here, over an area of many square miles, it has been 
 found In a great number of localities, several of which promise to yield 
 abundant supplies of this mineral. 
 
 Grindstones are made in many parts of Western Canada from a 
 sandstone well fitted for the purpose, while whetstones and honestones, 
 some of them of superior quality, are found in a great many parts of the 
 country. 
 
 Superior stones for the purpose of lithography, have been found in 
 several localities in Western Canada. 
 
 Minerals. 
 
 PROVINCE OF UUEBEC. 
 
 The richest and most varied ores are found in the Province of Que- 
 bec. 
 
 Gold is found, and several wealthy capitalists have formed large 
 companies to work the rich veins. The mines have been sufficiently 
 proved to justify looking to them as a permanent source of industry 
 when fairly taken in hand, and they will ultimately become of great 
 importance. 
 
 Copper Is found in immense quantities. Iron is found nearly every- 
 where, and certain of the ores of this useful metal are of incomparable 
 value. 
 
 The crude iron is of such a superior quality that it is bought by Ame- 
 ricanSj and, notwithstanding their high protective duties, imported by 
 them into the United States. The deposits are of the magnetic species, 
 and less frequently, of red hematite, both of which are very rich ores, 
 containing about 70 per cent, of metal. They are similar to those which 
 yield the fine iron of Sweden. 
 
 Some four or five years ago there were discovered on the north of the 
 river St. Lawrence inexhaustible deposits in the form of black sand, of 
 magnetic oxide. This is a most valuable mineral containing no foreign 
 substances, and it can be smelted by means of charcoal, the price of 
 which is low. 
 
 Peat works are in operation in several places in the Province of 
 Quebec. 
 
 Plumbago is met with all along the Laurentian chain of mountains, 
 and is profitably worked at Buckingham, Connty of Ottawa. 
 
 Lead ore occurs in many places in the Laurentian region in the form 
 of veins. 
 
 Gypsum is chiefly brought from the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf 
 of St. Lawrence. These contain abundant deposits of this niinerai, 
 Which is brought by water to t^uebec and Montreal. 
 
75 
 
 Phosphate of Lime is also obtained in the County of Ottawa, several 
 new mines having been opened this year. 
 
 In the Eastern Townships, to the east of the Notre Dame range, 
 there are great quantities of granite of a superior quality for building 
 purposes, and in many parts of the Laurentian region, granite, syenite, 
 and syenitlc-gneiss roclis abound, both red and gray In colour. Some of 
 these materials are equal to the granites of Cornwall and of Aberdeen. 
 Good sandstones for building purposes are also met with at several 
 points on the Ottawa, at Slllery (near Ciuebec), and in the more eastern 
 parts of the Province. 
 
 Some of the limestones of the Laurentian region afford a good white 
 marble for building purposes and for tombstones, as at tlie Calumet, 
 Portage du P'ort, and Fitzroy Harbour, in the County of Poutiac. 
 
 Minerals. 
 
 PROVINCE OP NOVA SCOTIA. 
 
 Nova Scotia possesses great resources in coal, iron and gold. Copper, 
 lead and tin ores have s*lso been discovered In small quantities. The coal 
 mines are quite extensive and number more than thirty, affording em- 
 ployment to thousands of people and a large fleet of vessels. The 
 production of gold from quartz rock is steadily increasing, and the 
 quality of the metal is the best and purest yet discovered. The quartz 
 from which it is extracted is abundant, and surpasses tliat of California 
 and Australia. Iron is also a staple product of the Province, and an 
 extensive business is carried on in it at Londonderry, by the Acadia Iron 
 Mining Company. Pottery clay is also found and worlied in Nova 
 Scotia. 
 
 Minerals. 
 
 PROVINCE OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 
 
 The mineral wealth of New Brunswick is of considerable import- 
 ance, although as yet but very partially developed. Gold In small 
 quantities, silver, lead, antimony, iron, copper, manganese, plumbago, 
 coal are met with. Of these iron, of which tnere are large deposits, Is 
 raised and smelted in considerable quantities near Woodstock. Manga- 
 nese is profitably worked in King's County, and copper in Charlotte 
 County. Coal is mined at Salmon River, Queen's County; and in 
 Albert County are rich deposits of a coal called Albertlte, from which a 
 brilliant illuminating oil is produced. Salt is also found at Sussex, in 
 King's County, of excellent quality and in paying quantities.

 Minerals. 
 
 PROVINCE OF MANITOBA. 
 
 Little attention has as yet been given to the minerals of this Province . 
 From geological reports and engineers' surveys, it appears that the 
 Saskatchewan district possesses one of the largest coal fields in the 
 world. Between the 59th parallel and the North Sea, It has been calciV' 
 lated that there cannot be much less than 5)0,000 square miles that the 
 true coal underlies. The average breadth of this belt Is about 200 miles. 
 
 In addition to the coal, this district contains rich deposits of iron ore. 
 and on both sides of the Rocky Mountains there are numerous gold 
 deposits, the development of which Is yet In Its Infancy. 
 
 Minerals. 
 
 PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. 
 
 A large proportion of the population is engaged in mining for gold, 
 coal, and silver. Iron, copper, lead, and almost every other mineral, 
 including rare minerals, such as molybdenum, &c., are found ; also, lime, 
 marble, freestone, slate, &c. The whole country, in fact, is full of mine- 
 rals and building material of ahlgli character. Gold-mining Is, at pre- 
 sent, the largest wage-affording industry ; coal comes next ; silver 
 promises well. The best known gold and silver fields are on the main- 
 land ; the largest known good coalfield is in Vancouver Island. 
 
 The gold-mining camps ot British Columbia are as orderly as 
 English villages. Gold claims are taken up anywhere on payment of 5 
 dollars (20s. English) per annum. A 25-dollar (5;. English) licence secures 
 a miner in his rights. No further tax Is levied. 
 
 Within twelve years nearly five millions sterling worth of gold have 
 been exported, and unless common and scientific opinion is entirely 
 wrong, the gold-fields ol the Province liave hardly yet been touched. 
 
 The presence of good coal In Vancouver Island, and its absence on 
 other portions of the Pacific coast, are much in favour of the Province. 
 A distinguished scientific traveller, acquainted with the North-west, Dr. 
 Robert Brown, M.A., President of the Royal Physical Society, Edin- 
 burgh, states that the only North Pacific coal sped illy fitted for steaming 
 purposes is found in the British possessions, all others being of tertiary 
 age, and very inferior in quality— slaggy and often sulphurous. " In her 
 coalfields," Dr. Brown says, "British Columbia lias, within herself, the 
 elements of lasting prosperity."

 MONEY. 
 
 The denominations of money in Canada ar© Dollars and Cents, 
 although the denominations of Pounds, Shillings and Pence are legal. 
 But the system of Dollars and Cents being decimal, is much more conve- 
 nient than Pounds, Shillings and Pence; and, moreover, being in use 
 2kll over the continent of America, that nomenclature is used in this 
 publication. A comparison with sterling is subjoined, which will at 
 once enable the reader to understand in sterling, values stated in Dollars 
 and Cents.

 heavy discount. The premium on gold is now 13 percent. In the United 
 States, and it has been much liigher. It fluctuates. 
 
 EDUCATION. 
 
 Means of Education, from the highest to the lowest, everywhere 
 abound in the Dominion. The poor and middle class:s can send their 
 children to free schools, where excellent education is given; and the 
 road to the colleges and lilgher education is open and easy for all. In no 
 country in the world is good education more generally did'used than In 
 Canada. In many thousands of cases the children of Immigrants who 
 came to Canada without any moans, In a state of poverty, very little 
 removed from absolute pauperism, have received thorotigh good educa- 
 tion, and have the highest prizes which the country olfors before them. 
 They have thus attained a state of well-being which would have been 
 impossible for them at home; atul which affords the most striking pos- 
 sible contrast with the dismal prospect which the workhouse would 
 have afforded for a large number of them.

 ACCOMMODATION AND CARE FOR IMMJGRANT8. 
 
 A lar^e and commotUous Immlgrnnt Station Is erected at Q,uebeo. 
 It is provided with facilities to enable Immigrants to wash and cleanse 
 themselves, ufLer coming off whlp-bo ird; with facilities lor cooking, and 
 large apartments In which they can sleep. Provision Is also made for 
 supplying meals at reasonable rates In this building. Meals are given as 
 heretofore to the absolutely Indigent; but these are limited to the smal- 
 lest possible extent, and only given in cases of real need. The Govern- 
 ment Agent at Ciuebec, and his assistants, bestow upon Immigrants 
 every possible attention. Information as to the route, and advice as to 
 the localities where work can be obtained. Every possible pains are 
 taken to protect Immigrants from imposition. 
 
 At Hherbrooke, In the B^istern Townships, a temporary shed has 
 been built for the accommodation of Immigrants. 
 
 At Montreal another Immlgruit Station, similar in character, but of 
 smaller si/e, is erected. It contains the same kind of conveniences and 
 accommodation as the Quebec Station, and the same kind of care Is 
 taken of the immigrants at this point. 
 
 At Kingston there Is still another Immigrant Station erected, of 
 which precisely the same remarks may be made. 
 
 At Toronto, which Is the chief distributing point, there Is a large 
 Station, where immigrants receive all needful accommodation and 
 Information, and from which they are despatched to their several desti- 
 nations. 
 
 At Hamilton, London anil Ottawa there are buildings adapted for 
 the shelter of Immigrants. 
 
 In the new Province of Manitoba, a suitable she I Is erected for the 
 temporary accommodation of Immigrant-, who, It Is supposed, will go 
 there in greater numbers than heretofore. 
 
 All Information which Immigrants obtain from the Agents of the 
 Dominion they may accept as reliable. All the Dominion Agents are 
 strictly charged not to make any exaggerations in any statements they 
 may furnish : and not to render themselves liable to the reproach of 
 having misled any emigrants.
