SOLVING THE FUTURE WEI
FARE OF THE CONTINENT.
This II what Is Now Being Done on
the Fertile PrRiries of
Western Canada.

The rapid progress that is being made
in the settlement of the fertile prairies
Of western Canada is leading to the in
vestigation of it's resources by those
interested in having provision made for
those living in the crowded east, for
those who have been struggling for
years on impoverished farms, for the
renter who is unable any longer to bear
up under the strain imposed by the
landlord, and for the farmer who un-
able to purchase farms for his sons in
his own neighborhood has to look
around for lower priced lands. The in
vestigation shows that it is impossible
to meet these conditions successfully
outside of western Canada. Already
millions of bushels of wheat are being
grown there each year, while as many
as $4,000 head of cattle were shipped
out this year. A representative of the
Germania, Milwaukee, one of the lead
ing German papers in the United
States, recently made a trip through
Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta and
Saskatchewan, where lie the free gov
ernment lands of western Canada, and
in a future issue will appear extracts
from fattering letters contributed to
the Germanfa and other papers by their
special correspondents.
AS an inducement for immigrants to
make their homes in Canada, the Cana

land free of cost to each settler, and in
