It is impolitic to beggar the Settler ? Opinion of the Grand Jury of British Columbia ? Scores gaping for dead Men's Shoes ? To Men of Capital the Colony presents a remunerative Field ? The crafty blood-thirsty Indian ? Extract from the London Times. British Columbia is not a pastoral country, and the waters of the Fraser have no fertilising qualities, which is remarkable, considering the extent of its course. The climate of the northern section, especially, is unfavourable to grazing stock, in consequence of its being situated near ranges of mountains, which are constantly covered with snow. From the circumstance of the annual inundation of the rivers, many of the patches, which resemble small prairies, will always be unfit for husbandry. Even were embankments thrown up, these would not prevent the inroads of the water, as there are quicksands in these flats through which it percolates; and, owing to its low temperature, the grain would get chilled and destroyed. These lowlands are only valuable as adjuncts to higher lands, and the latter are unfortunately densely covered with wood. The BEAUTIES OF THE AMERICAS PRAIRIE. 57 Attorney-General of British Columbia has characterised this dependency of the Crown of England as 'a bar.
