JOHN T, MOORE, Managing Direct&r. TOEONTO. ■m mi S'sqos m)t memorial OF SETTLERS IN THE TRACT GRANTED TO THK SASKATCHEWAN HOMESTEAD COMPANY. TO HIS EXCELLKNCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL (IN COUNCIL). May it pleanf Your Excellency : whCVCJl.S giiiut ignorance pievail8 m to the nature and terms of the Colonization phm of December, 1881, and the Agreement thereunder, which ignorance extends, we regret, even to the North-West Council ; ^UU TWUCV^iliS untriendl}' and untrue represen- tations of tlie whole Colonization work have hceii indus- triously circulated to serve personal and ])oliticul ends, which statenu-nts, though not directed against any par- ticular Company, nevertiieless justice and decency compel U8 to give them a Hut denial so far as con<'eins Thr SahKATCHEWAN HoMESIKAI) COMI'ANY. 3UU IvUCrf Jl$ the great and miiny real merits of the phm have been unwittingly or iUshonestly concealed, and thus, by the general public not understanding the 2 numerous and valuable benefits that will ensue to settlers in these tracts, a serious wrong is done to a beneficent system : « Now, therefore, iW$ IBmOriM of the undersigned, who are ACTUAL SETTLERS in the Tract granted by you to the Saskatchewan Home- stead Company, (1) ®ltttt» in their judgment, the Government Coloniza- tion Plan is wise and good, and tends to the welfare of the settler, the settlement, and the country. That the strin- gent provision for two resident settlers upon each section — odd as well as even — secures a population more dense and uniform tlian has hitherto marked rural districts in the North-West, and, by reason of greater proximity and number, far superior social, educational, religious, and municipal advantages ensue. Already your Memorialists have experienced most beneficial eftects in this respect. (2) SyUttt the Saskatchewan Homestead Company is entitled to unqualified approval for the course pursued by it in the settlement of this tract. The policy of the Company has from the first been liberal and patriotic, and speedy development is now going forward. Your Memorialists cheerfully testily that, individually and collectively, they have experienced almost indispensable benefits through the praiseworthy enterprise and liberality of the Company. The very considerable measure of pros- perity now enjoyed, the harmonious and neighbourly spirit which prevails, and the contentment among the settlers 3 « prove, beyond question, that the plan is a good one when ably and honestly acted upon. (3) lH'Uttt unprecedented success will, in the opinion of your Memorialists, characterize the tract of a Company which di8charf<«'s efficiently the duties assumed under the Colonization Agreement. Adverse criticism al so early a stage betrays an aiitagoni.siii that \\ uuld condemn untried. Vour Memorialists have abundant evidence of increased prosperity in the future, and deplore that a laudable and wisely-devised system should be misunderstood and defamed. With entire confidence in and approval of the Colonization method, the Company itself, and its admin- istration, your Memorialists enter heartily into the congenial work of developing and beautifying their respective farms in this fertile portion of the Canadian North -West.
