what has been sold of these lands‘ were 1S now glflnding to the cretb.

The Prairie Provinces are claim- ing -the lends and natural resour- ces wlthiin their boundaries and al- so the large yearly subsidies they now receive ln lieu of lands; In case such claim should be enter- tained the Maritime Provinces would ibe entitled to an equivalent subsidy. based on population of which the yearly amount at pre- sent would ‘be: Nova Scotia. S562 500; New Brunswick, $375,000; I’. E. Island. $150,000. These amounts would increase with the increase or population until with a populat- ion of 1.200.000 the yearly subsidy of the three provinces would bu 31.125000.

As to our claim on account of the extension of the boundaries of Ontario and Quebec: At the date of ccnfederntionOn-tarlo had tin nreayof 226,502 square miles to which has ‘been since added as a free gift from the public domains. 180.775 square miles. making a pre- sent total of 407.277 square miles. The area ot‘ Quebec has been ‘Ill like manner extended from on ori- ginal 193555 square miles to 064,- 958, a free gift of over 471000 square miles.
