100 NEW SHUNS WICK. 



better known to the tourist world in order to enjoy as wide 

 a reputation as the far-famed Hudson. 



The soil of New Brunswick is fertile and produces as 

 good crops of certain kinds as any part of the Dominion- 

 A great deal more than one-half of the total area of the 

 province is ungrantecl. Free grants of 200 acres are given 

 in certain parts of the province to heads of families, and 

 any adult male can obtain a grant of 100 acres. But even

 day. Wages, like almost everything else, depend very 

 much upon the condition of the lumber market. 



There are numbers of alluvial islands on the St. John, 

 and marshes along its banks, which are flooded over in
