scarce and money was still scarcer with
him. TO live he had to work. and day
labor was the only thing that he could
find to do. While employed on the rail-
way job, he was taken III with fever.
He was taken to the rudely constructed
temporary hospital maintained by the
contractors. and there he lay for some
weeks while the fever ran Its course
When he was discharged as cured and

At the very moment while the United
States is seriously considering the en-
actment of legislation restricting i'm
migration, Canada Is making the most
energetic efforts in her history to at
tract new settlers. She is at work not
only in Europe, but in this country. H.
Illustrating the success which her agents
are meeting, it is asserted that in the
fiscal year which ended on the Both of
April last no less than $4,000 persons
from the Middle and Western States of
the Union took up land in Manitoba and
the territories embracing the provis-
ional provinces Of Assinoboia. Sas.
katchewan and Alberta. Concerning
Manitoba the general reader in this
country is well posted. but what does
he know about the provisional PROV
jnces? Assiniboia lies north of North
Dakota and eastern Montana and has
an area of 90.3lO square miles. AL
berta comprises 100000 square miles,
and lies north of western Montana. Sas-
katchewan is north of Assiniboia. Its
area is l14.OO0 square miles. The mer-
curry goes pretty low in these regions
In the winter season. but there is little
SNOW, while the air is dry and the sky
is generally bright. so that cold is felt
less there than where a humid atmos-
phcre prevails. There are frequent Wis
its of melting weather heralded by the
Chinook wind. and except during Jan
uary and February the climate is not
severer than in the region of the great
lakes. Once all this country was sup
posed to be doomed forever to the status
of Il wilderness dotted with trading
posts of the Hudson Bay Company.
Now il is recognized as available for
the production of No. l hard wheat. in
crops ranging from thirty to sixty bush
els to the acre. When Canada comes
into the Union this great region will
be well settled with prosperous farm
crs. 1t seems to be Il far better coun-
try in many respects than that toward
the east. During the past half cen
fury there has been a steady stream OF
immigration to the United States from
Eastern Canada. The people whom ii
brought here have bettered their condi.
ton. and have never evinced desire to
go back. 1t Is significant of the super.
iority of the Canadian territory further
west that it is able to attract settlers
from the United States.
