ital for investment, and from the days
Of the Hudson Bay company, which
earned large dividends for its#stock-
holders, Canada has been favorite
dumping ground for English money.
Hundreds, indeed thousands, Of young
Englishmen have come here with
money, for it must be, remembers that
while trade is not considered just the
thing for younger members of the
British nobility, agriculture, mining
and ranching are highly regarded, and
the freedom of the Western life also had
great attractions for many of the more
restless spirits. So it has been that so
much money has come here almost in
advance of the real settlement of the
country to begin large operations, to
open and develop mines, build cities
and make markets before the smaller
settler arrived. These men, too have
prospered,, and they spend their money
freely. Money appears plenty and
everything is prepared in advance Tor
the we'll being of the poorer settler. In

sment methods in our country. With
us poverty was the pioneer and frugal
ity went in advance of development.
Our early settlers lived for years wait.

towns only came after the homestead

increased the mercantile demand. For
this reason Canada today presents the

A Home For Small Farmers.
4. To the small farmer, who is seeking
new home, we believe Western Can.
ada offers great inducements. While
it seems a long way north the Canadian
Pacific railway line is far south of
Edin borough, the climate is about that
of Northern Minnesota and the land
raises splendid and sure crops. OF
course any farmer who has Mime
sofa farm and is fairly. prosperous,
would be foolish to exchange it for any
other location. We saw nothing on
our trip that we thought equalled our
own state; but there are always men
who will go somewhere, men who
would not he satisfied after residence
in heaven; young men who have the
fortune drives from their. homes. TO
such we say:if you must. leave Mime
sofa, Western Canada will give you a
warm, welcome and great opportun-
tiles. You canreach there by way of
Winnipeg and the Canadian, Pacific
will take you West from there, or you
can go direct by the 500 line to Moose
Jaw in the Assiniboia district. 1T you
will write to- Mr.: Will j. White at OF.
tawa, Ont, or to any Canadian gov
eminent al gent in the United States,
you will be sent all needed information
and told how to get cheap roilroad

The Country More in Detail. '.'
10 call more particular attention to
certain districts outside Of Manitoba,
the land seeker should not forget the
northern part Of Assinlbioa and Sas-
katchewan which gave its name to the
finest hard wheat the world has known.
Taking the Manitoba and Northwestern
road from Portage la Prairie or. the
Canadian Paciic branch from Regina,
you. reach the Saskatchewan river
country and the newly opened Swan
river district, two of the choicest dis
tricts in all Western Canada for small
farmers, and practically all homestead
and railroad lands. The present rail
road are being extended fthatway and
new ones built, SO that by fail a near
by market will be ready for those who
are now pushing that way. These
regions are we'll watered with large
rivers and lakes, and have a varied
landscape with plenty OF timber land
along the waterways. Another fine
timber district is north from
Calgary in Alberta, the Edmonton dis.
,trict, the present terminus of that
Branch. of the" Canadian Pacific rail-
road. South around Calgary is tho
great cattle country, and this town it..
self is remarkable. Built almost entire.
ly of white sandstone, the business
buildings and residences would be a
credit to a large city, yet in Calgary
are only 1000 people. But it has much
wealth. It is the commercial gscen ter
for the vast cattle region and the ex.
tensive mining district northwest.
Here also and at Edmonton are outfit.

to the Yukon, and the railroad is soon
to be extended to these famous gold
fields. When this is done, CAL
gary will be a city in -. size
as we'll as in appearance. A5noticeable
feature Of all Canadian cities is their:
observance of the Sabbath. There is
an unexpected quiet; all business abso.
lutely ceases; the saloons are closed
tight from 7 o'clock Saturday evening
to Monday morning; the churches are
