HOW WESTERN AUSTRALIA IS TO BE SETTLED.
Lord Carnarvon is at the head of the syndicate that has recently purchased an ohorraous tract of land in Western Australia. It is said that a portion of this land is to be placed at the disposal of future immigrants on a kind of mutual benefit society principle—the emigrant to find labour, and the company land and seeds, the latter taking a mortgage on both, and the tenant paying a certain yearly sum that is eventually to entitle him to the fee-simple of his farm. If this scheme is to be carried out on the American “ chess-board ” system—that is to say, the emigrants being only permitted to. take up alternate lots—it might no doubt be a very paying concern for the company, as in a few years’ when the country had been populated and cultivated the intermediate lots would become pf considerable value. -
