mainly of soft woods and other light timber, and can
easily be cleared. The country is well watered, and
is admirably adapted for conversion into grass lands.
Twenty-two sections, scattered over the block, have
been disposed of at good prices on the deferred-
payment system, and one-third of the proceeds will,
under the provisions of "The Land Act, 1877," Part
III., be spent on roads within or to open up the
block for the benefit of the selectors.

Terms of Payment. The terms of payment are:
One-fourth cash to accompany the application, and
the remaining three-fourths within one month after
