Boat houses in many instances are dislodged and landings ruined. The Ice supply has been reduced considerably by the melting of the lower layers.

The colonisation road work has been greatly delayed throughout the north country this season by the unusual floods. It Is the same all through Parry Sound and Algoma. i 1- B0WMANVILLE ROBBERY. Trampa Arrested Wit- Considerable Monej Thorn. (Special to The JournaL) Peterboro.

An' Investigation of Oa-cia Settle- menu enow at They are making Good Settlers. The annual report of the department of the Interior, which was presented to parliament last night by Hon. Clifford Slftcjn, shows ths the year has been a busy one In every branch of the There has been 'a marked Improvement in the general results attained. The number of homestead entries, 4.MS.

granted during the past year is the largest since 1883 that it is over twice as large as the number granted In 18S7, and over three times that of 18J. There were 1,707 entries cancelled In 1882, and ln 1893. Number of' cancellations has fallen this year to 156, three per cent ef the total number of entries granted, 1 as compared with a percentage of 25 and SI, in lt2 and 1893. This would appear to- be a very good indication that tbe number of persons who form-' erly took up land for other than farming purposes Is gradually growing less, and that those now making entries ae bona-flde farmers who Intend to esrn title to their holdings by actual settlement and the performance of the duties prescribed by the uominion Lands Act. The number of settlers Is placed at 15,083 for 1892, as against 7,404 In 1897.

Of these (20 came from tbe United States, as compared with 218 In 1297 489 English, 161 Scotch. 7S Irish, 722 Austro-Hungarians, and 10S Germans, 100 Russians and lit Men-nonltes. i The land sales by railways for 1898 were 472,78 acres, valued at tl.3S4.90S. as agalnet 222.S4S acres valued at In 1897, and the latter year doubled any previous rear. i In regard to Immigration, ihe report says "The varied and extensive resources of this country -have at length aroused the Interest both of capitalists and of agriculturists in Europe and America, and we are beginning to reap the benefit of the Investment of their money for the development of our resources, and an Increased; Influx of population for the settlement of our great public domain.

i.i "The natural outcome of this will be such thst the expenditure we are making In tbe Immigration service, and In advertising our country abroad, will be more than Justified. It will mean an Immeasurable extension of our trade and commerce, the development of our Industries, the covering of the vast areas of arable lands et remaining at the disposal of tbe Crown with a happy and prosperous farming population, and tha consequent lightening of our national burdens, such they are, by the presence of a greater number of shoulders to carry These and other advantages may be looked for 'to accrue to Canada bv puihtng immigration, and I am sure that all patriotic Canadians will wish to have It pushed' by all lesltlmate means, and will not grudge the expenditure Tha Gallclans. In reference to the Gallclans. J. F.

Smart: deputy minister of the Interior, has the following to ssy i "I took advantage of the opportunity which was afforded me when visiting the west last fall to make a personal Inspection of one of the GallcUn settlements In the province of Manitoba, and I am glad to say that as ft result I was favorably Impressed with the progress which they have made durins the comparatively 'snort time that they have been on their holdlnss. They were found comfortably housed, and even those, who had arrived In the country last spring had menaced to grow sufficient grain and vegetables to meet all their requirements. In fact, the great majority of the people were in every way not only well able to care of themselves, but there was every Indication that they would ere long prove to be successful farmers, it Is gratifying to not; that the prejudice which was at first entertained by many as to this class of settlers Is gradually disappearing, as their habits and mode of life are becoming better1 known. "It may be stated further that the department, has had a special agent detailed to the various Gallcian settlements with a new to making a special Inspection of each family that haa taken np land there within tne last four or five years. This Inspection, although well under way.

has not yet been completed, but the reports that have been received so far show conclusively that the Gallclans are possessed of the qualities necessary to successful farming, and that those amongst them who have engaged in that pursuit since their arrival In Manitoba or the Northwest Territories have given ample proof of their ability to use to the best advantage possible to. themselves and to the country the opportunity which has been aSorded to them by the government of acquiring free homesteada and of enjoying the privileges of Canadian cltlsenship."

Marfimas, Mr. Hendrie'a great 3-year-old colt, with the 4-year-old filly Laverock, as running companion, cut loose at -Woodbine yesterday on a track that waa hard and slow, and with-the utmost eaae smashed the record for all trials at a mile and ah eighth.

Jockey Mason had the mount on the Candlemas colt, and the. pair of gallopers broke from the quarter pole at the head of tbe stretch. They ran together like a team all the Journey, with both riders sitting up in their saddles and surveying the scenery. At the finish Laverock poked her nose in front of Martlmas In 2.021-4. The mile was clicked, oft in 1.48 flat Martlmas, as a 2-year-old was a poor work-horse and his trials were always misleading, but this year he goes along so easily that the timekeepers themselves are deceived as to grett speed.

Martlmas is entered for the Toronto cup and the Woodstock plate, but whether or not he will be a starter Is not known. Laverock shows magnificent form this spring, and will be hard to beat at any distance.

It was the first mounted drill the corps has had since its recent increase In strength, and the large number of men out made the squadron look quit Imposing. Where hitherto the corps ha only had three troops of about fifteen men each, this year It has four troops of eighteen men. The1 work taken up during the first part of the evening consisted a few troop movements and and. dismounting, exercises under the respective troop leaders.

Later In th. evening'-Major Brown took command and put the squadron through a num. er of squadron movements. In this part of the drill the sergeants were called -out and acted as troop leaders. In view of the fact that then was a large number of new.
