PART VI.-KEEWATIN. Report of Lieutenant-Governor Schultz, for the year 1893.. SIR, I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Department of the Interior for the year 1893. It may not be out of place to mention, as I did last year, the peculiar difficulties surrounding the preparation of this report owing to the necessity for bringing it down to the end of the calendar year, and the wide range of territory from which the material necessary to its compilation has to be drawn. The reports of the various Dominion Lands Agents stationed here and and there throughout Manitoba and the North-west Territories and British Columbia, which are sent to the department direct, as well as those of the immigration agents, whose work is conducted in Great Britain and Ireland and at one or two points in continental Europe, which are transmitted through the office of the High Commissioner for Canada, must necessarily be sent in after the season's work has been completed; and surveyors who are engaged in the work of subdividing the public lands and parcelling them out for the use of settlers, find it necessary to remain in the field until the latest possible date, and frequently do not leave for headquarters until the middle of December, after which time they still have a great deal to do in reducing their observations to the form of plans and written returns before an intelligent idea of their work can be presented to the public. The preparation of the report is thus delayed until the period when the pressure of work arising out of the meeting of Parliament has commenced, which adds materially to the difficulty of getting the manuscript into the hands of the printer and of revising and correcting the proofs without loss of time. DEPARTMENTAL CHANGES. I regret to have to report that since the publication of the report for the calendar year 1892, the following deaths have to be recorded: Mr. Henry Kinloch, Mr. N. Tetu, Mr. Braddish Billings and Dr. John Judge, all of whom were members of the staff at Ottawa; Mr. J. J. Daley, immigration agent at Montreal; Mr. W. G. Pentland, Agent of Dominion Lands at Yorkton; and Mr. E. G. Kirby, Assistant Agent of Dominion Lands at Calgary. |
