lip anii 3uttm tht (tuabi. [Selected from the writings of the late Sir John GibsonJ. LANDOWNERS- November 25th, 1898. I have often wished that I owned a bit of ground somewhere, but I do not own even as much as a freehold grave space! I am disposed to s-art a class of landowners so that I might teach them some of those things about land which a landless man knows better than anybody else. Of course, I would not try to teach my class of landlords too much at a time, but I would put them through a regular course of instruction with the object of showing them tlicit it is population that gives value to land. My first lesson would be on the wisdom of promoting the growth of villages and towns by landowners. If I were a landowner I would get as many people to live on my land as possible, and I would make as many roads through it as possible, and if anybody wanted a bit of ground on which to build a house I would sell him it. If land within a mile of a place of one thousand inhabitants were worth S10 an acre, the price would go up to E12 or jE13 an acre if the' place were increased to two thousand. The average landowner does not seem to realize that if he sells land near a village for building purposes the houses will make the land near to them valuable. The Coast. J.G.
