The statonients, aa te- ted in, the despatch, however, tire . entirely inaccurate and inconsistent. Ag a matier of fact, the, govern- ment lands cost us more than the lands we obtained from . the Regina, Tong Lake and SaskhfchewA yrall- yay, and we certainlfAvould not re- peat, the deal if, we had - au oppor tunity, ne The statement oh t to Tartit's Sestqrnent. An Ottawa despatch says: 5. G; Turiff, Dominion: land com-) missioner, was before the, comimittes of agriculture yesterday and was examined by Mr. Lai Bivi re, M.:P., and Mr. Boyd, MuP.,, He denied that he had ever had any connection with the company im qitestion, but a - mitted that last: year the Saskatehe- wan Velley Land company had se- cated from the Doininioni:government 250,000 acres of land at 1 per acre. which land ts setting tofay throughout the Territories at 0 or 7 per acre. Mr. Turiff's statement of the conces slon made to the . fayored company was discussed ardong the. members of the committee aud surprise was ex-, pressed at the small figtre asked for the Jand. - Mr, Turi said the lands were selected from the reservation the Regina, ke Saskatchewan Rail: way company, The reports in cir culation say that the company haz secured other lands than those of the Regina and Long -Lake reserve, but Mr. Turiff dectaved that so far as he was aware these reports were not true, On the contrary, the land) company is keeping well within the, Rigina and Long Lake reserve. In answer to MB La Riviere, Mr. Turiff admitted, that his: brotherin- ells Lands law, Mr, Adamson, of Rosthern, N, W.'T,, Was one of the original Jounders of ths Saskatchewan com- pany, Pive or six thdlviduals, in lt; cluding Adamson, had- originally se- ured the concession of land from the government, and they bad sfter- wards disposed of it to the Saskatihe- wan. Valley Land company, with which they were still connected. He denied that he was in any way con- ected directly or indirectly with the original promotion of the company or With (se company fteelf. Vo the best of bin knbwl dge and belief neither Chief Justice Sifton, nor any other public official in Canada, had any interest directly or Indirectly in the concessions. When. the deat tor the purchase of - the quarter million acres of land at - 1 per acre went through he was not at Ottawa, and the promoter arranged the matter) through .Mr,. Smart, deputy minister of the Interjor.-. He could gtve no. particular reason why the govern ment should-make such a radical de- parture from its policy as to sell land at one dollar an acre, In answer to Mr.-Boyd, M. P., he said he did not know that. the ener-) gies of the immigration branch of the government were being devoted to settlitig emigrants on the lands of the Saskaishewan -company. Mr. Turiff denied that he had any interest in the Blairmore town site, the ow- nership of which is in dispute The , comnilssfoner suid he was not aware shy. there: should be sich particular demand for this town site, and-did not know that there was Valuable coat) deposit near it. Why the.Governiment Did tt. Jas, A. Smart. the deputy minister of interior, saya that the reason the government Uisposed of 250,000 acres to the: Saskatchewan Land company one dollar an acre was because of exgaptfonal conditions imposed in the) eoutract, A much higher figure would haye been asked if the land was all first.quality; but it was not.
