Thev have been selected with great care for the express pur- nose of being offered to actual settlers, and are either in the vici- nity of Winnipeg or in the various prosperous settlements scat- tered throughout the Province. We can therefore recornmend them to those proposing to settle at once upon a farm in thw Province, as they offer inducements by making speedy returng for any labor expended upon them. ' A large quantity of these lands are, even at the present time within marketable distance from Winnipeg or the Pembin* - Branch, C P. R., so t-hat those settling upon them can readily soil their produce at fair prices. It is impossible to obtain desirable homesteads i^om the aovernment lands, without going over 100 miles from Winnipeg ^^ ^^Bv Lfoinffso far from market farmers will find it almost im- possible to dispose of their surplus produce till a railway passes their doors which will likely be from four to ten years hence. _^ Alexander Begg, Esq., in his "Guide to Manitoba," has the ^^^ ^^Yt^^f our opinion that an immigrant would be unwise to go far beyond the line of settlement, or to undertake to go to the Saskatchewan in advance of civilization, for the following rea- sons : „ , . , 1 • 1 • 1 The heavy cost of getting to his claim. 2 His isolation until settlements reach him. 3 The high cost for procuring the necessaries ot hie. 4* The distance from a market ; even with the chance of Bell'no- his produce to traders and others, his profits yvould be eaten up by the cost of procuring necessaries which he is unable to raise on his farm. , i i 5 His isolation from churches and schools. g" The nearer he keeps to the line of settlement the quicker will he obtain all the benefits of civilization, especially as the march of development is rapid in this country. It is for this reason that we condemn the idea of inducing immigrants to go to the North-West in advance of settlements and before proper moans of communication are opened up to that ''""'^TmusTnot bo understood, however, that we haye any de- sire to belittle the Saskatchewan country, on the contrary we are of opinion that in the near future that great territory will afford homes for thousands of hardy and industrious farmers ; aad we are also aware that as far as climate, soil, and other ad- Tantages are concerned, the Saskatchewan is equal to Manitoba But onr desire is not to mislead people for the mere purpose of adrancinff immigration, and the development of the country wUl be sufficiently promoted by allowing the progress of uettiements to be gradual rather than scattered m its character, Farmers coming to Manitoba should not take very much roods and merchandise with them for they can purchase all they Tcquire at reasonable rates in Winnipeg as can be seen trom tke foUowing, also from Begg's Guide : ^ . . , „„ u. The prices in Manitoba of Agricultural implements can b« seen by the following list :— Breaking Plows, $25 to $29. Common do $15 to $21 Reapers $140 to $160.

Tobacco, black, 50 cents. Tobacco, smoking, 50 to 55. Coal Oil, per gallon, 50 cents. Syrup, per gallon, lb to 80 cents. Pails, each, 3 hoops, 30 cents ; 2 hoops, 2o cents.

In the above we have only given quotations for a few of the principal articles required by a settler, so as to give you an idea of the general cost of goods in Manitoba, and we are of opinion that parties can purchase to better advantage in this Province, than to bring their old worn-out effects with them, and pay- freight on them. , , . , _ „ If the settler takes any of his effects through with him trom the other Provinces, he should make out aii invoice — in tripli- cate—of his goods or animals, go before the Collector of Customs at or near his place of departure, and make a declaration that the goods or animals are the manufacture or production of the Dominion of Canada, or that duty has been paid upon thera^nd the said collector will then attach hisg seal to the invoice. With this invoice he can bond his goods at the first United States port he enters, leaving two copies of the invoice wnth the collector of this port,' and retaining the other for the arrival of his goods in Manitoba. r. . ^ xv If however, he comes with a large party ot emigrants, tnere will be no difticulty, as the cars, with their effects, will be bond- ed through. ,, ., . T^ X • X />ii-' The emigrant can take the all rail route ma Detriot, Chicago and St. Paul, or the rail and water routes via rail to Collingwood or Sarnia, laKe steamer to Duluth, and thence by rail. Arrangements have been made to issue through tickets from all the loading places in Quebec and Ontario by any of the above Toutes.

" A prominent ridge runs from the north-west to the south- east containing lime, marl and gravel. There is no running stream or natural spring of water in this township, but wells have been dug by the hay-makers, of which one contained some water in a depth of eight feet, at dry season, leading to the con- clusion that a supply of water will never fail when properly looked for.
