of the vast northwest last night he said:
"Emigrants from Europe are coming into
the country at a rate that bids fair to
bring the choice locations under speedy
cultivation. While there is a great num-
Der of Scotch families making their homes
in Canada. probably the most unique ag-
EregauOn or cOlOnlStS which have come
into the country during the past year were
l00O Dukbos who emlgrated from south
ern Russia some months ago The Rus

rainfall which we are supposed to get, |
this season we have only had four and an
eighth inches, with five and three-eights
the season before. While, of course, we
rely upon irrigation to a certain extent !
there Is "A strip extending some twenty
miles inland from the coast which solely |
depends upon the rainfall for its crops (
and as a consequence they will be fail
urd this year. Fisher taxed in an en- /
tertaining vein in regard to the flower I
culture in the Golden state. which he said |
was an infinitely better proposition than !
grain raising. a man. he said, who
has five acres of carnations under sue
cesSful cultivation has practically a gold
