 In tlio following list we ollbr for kuIo about (^0,000 acros of 
 the choiceht hiudis in the IVovince of Manitoba. 
 
 They have been selected with great care for the expre.is pur- 
 pose of bein<2^ odered to actual settlors, and are either in the vici- 
 nity of Winnipc ;• or in Ihv^ various prosperous settlements scat- 
 tered throu^'liout th(^ Proviuee. We can therofoe recommend 
 them to those in'oposini;- to settle at once upon a farm in this 
 Provinf'e, as lh(»y oiler inducements by making speedy returns 
 ibr any laljor expended upon them. "V 
 
 A large quantity of these lands are, even at tlie present time 
 within marketable disianee from Winnipeg or the Pembina 
 Branch, C. 1*. U., so that those settling upon them can readily 
 sell their produce at fair prices. 
 
 It is impossible to obtain desirable homesteads from the 
 Government lands, without goin<f over 100 miles from Winnipeg 
 or the C. V. K. 
 
 By going so 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 
 following: 
 
 "It is 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. The heavy cost of getting to his claim. 
 
 2. His isolation until settlements reach him. 
 
 3. The high cost for procuring the necessaries of life. 
 
 4. The distance from a market ; even with the chance of 
 selling his produce to traders and others, his profits would be 
 eaten up by the cost of procuring necessaries which he is unable 
 to raise on his farm. 
 
 5. His isolation from churches and schools. 
 
 6. 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 raj^id 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 prop .r moans of communication are opened up to that 
 vaet country. 
 
 It must not be understood, however, that, we have any de- 
 sire to belittle the Saskatchewan country, on the contrary we 
 are of opinion that in the near future that great territory will 
 afl'ord homes for thousands of hardy and industrious farmers ; 
 
I • - 
 
 and we arcs also awaio that as far as climate, soil, and other ad- 
 TWitages are concenu'd, the Saskatchewan is equal to Manitoba. 
 Bnt our di^s^re is not to mislead people for the mere purpose of 
 adrancing immigration, and the development of the country will 
 be 8ufliciently promoted by allowing the progress of licttlements 
 to be gradual r;'.ther than scattered in its character," 
 
 Farmers coming to Manitoba should not take very muck 
 goods and merchandise with them for they can purchase all they 
 require at reasona]>le rates in Winnipeg as can be seen from th« ' 
 following, also from Begg's Guide :

 In the above ve have only given quotations for a 1\ w 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 opiuioa 
 that parties can purchase to better advantages in this Province, 
 tknn to bring their old woru-out efl'ects with them, and pay 
 freight on them. 
 
 If the siittler takes any of his eflects through with him from 
 the other Provinces, he should make out an invoic<> — in tripli- 
 cate — of hi« goods or animals, c'o ])efore the CoUeclor of Customs 
 at or near his place of departuns and make a dt^claration that 
 the goods or animals are the manufacture or production of the 
 Dominicm of Canada, or that duty has been paid upon them, and 
 the said collector will then attach his seal to the invoice. With 
 this invoice he can bond his goods at the lirst United States port 
 he enters, leaving two coj^es of the invoice with the collector of 
 this port, and retaining the other for the arrival of liis goods in 
 Manitoba. 
 
 '\ If, however, he comes with a large party of emigrants, there 
 will be no dilHculty, as the cars, with their effects, will be bond- 
 ed through. 
 
 The emigrant can take the all rail route t*m Detriot, Chicago 
 and St. Paul, or the rail and water routes tin rail to Collingwood 
 or Sarnia, lake steamer to Duluth, and thence by rail.
