The Canadian Northern land giants were probably necessary also to open up the northern portion of the country, which was thought by many to be too far away from everything to be worth considering.

Most of their holdings may be purchased at fair prices, although a good deal of their land is out of the market at present. in- divfdual farmers are, however, as a rule. just now too enthusiastic over the future of this district to sell at all. A c:.inpany of this kind is conversant with the location of the quarter sections which are still available for homestead-v ing, and by dealing with them the in- tending purchaser may sometimes pick up a quarter section in the township in which he locates at small addi- tional expense. ft is reported that this company has also secured very large tracts of land through which the Grand Trunk Pacific will pass between Saskatoon and Edmonton. Ontario people and customers gener ally do not seem to realize the wooden fui possibilities of this western coun~ try.

Grave Charges Agdinst the Officer of the Expedition. The Governorâ€"General of French West Africa has forwarded to the French Colonial Minister a report containing the gravest charges against Major Iii-ercjenn, who recently led an expedi- tion from Senegal against the Moors of Mauritania to punish them for the mur- der of M. Coppoiain. Major Frercjean, having caused ll number of Moorsâ€"men, women and childrenâ€"to be seized and brought be fore him, summoned them to denounce Mr. Coppolain's murderer. The prison- ers, encouraged by their marabou who had preached a holy war agalns the French, refused to answer. The inhuman order was then given to put the refractory natives to torture, and thus wrench a confession from them in their agony. But still they remained mute. v The chief of the punitive expedition thereupon determined to strike terror into the stubborn tribesmen. By his order the Senegalese sharpshooters seized many of their captives and but- chered them before the eyes of the others. The victims were felled with clubbed rifles kicked to death, hung upon the branches of the trees, and used as targets for revolver practice. And while this atrocious scene was at its height other sharpshooters were sbuy taking snapshots with their cameras. Major Prerejcan on his return actual. ly boosted of the lesson he had taught the natives, and i’ was thus that the Goveriior-Gcileral heard of the affair and reported it to M. Clcmcntcl, the Colonial Minister. Major I’rcrcjciin will be brought at once before a court-nuirtiiil, and this affair will be severely dealt with, as that Minister recently issued tiio most sm’n-Q gent instructions that. these atrocities om the part of those in authority must be put it stop to.
