WHO SHOULD COME

AS to the sort of immigrant for which the
district is best adapted, it follows from what
has been said above that men who can work
are the men that are wanted. AS already in
timated, the soil is somewhat heavy, and
breaking requires some force. Industry and
strength, therefore, are what is required.
Possessed of these, no intending settler needs
to fear. Men came into the Regina locality
without cent when the district first opened
up, seventeen years ago, and they now grow
hundreds of acres of wheat and own from
seventy-five to hundred head of cattle. At
the same time, those who have capital have
got on best; or, at any rate, quickest A
man with nothing has obviously to devote
some portion of his time to earning his living
and to getting the wherewthal to start farm
ing operations. His advancement is, there
fore comparatively slow II the new settler,
spring, or even in the summer, he can pre-
pare a considerable acreage for seeding the
next year, and the development of his farm
is rapid. '..
Until recently there was abundant land to
be had by free homesteading, but immgra-
ton has been so large the last two years
that all the free lands have been virtually

HOW TO GET THERE

An intending settler from the United States
should obtain a certificate from the Canadian
northwest land settlement agent, purchase a
ticket to the nearest connecting point on the
Canadian Pacific railway, and on arrival there
present his certificate, in exchange for which
he will receive for himself and any member
of his family accompanying him, as emu
merated the certificate, a ticket to Regina
at very low rate, which may be learned
from the agent before starting. Should, the
settler, after acquiring land, desire TO return
to his family, he will be accorded a similar
rate returning Information as to special
rates OH settlers effects, in car loads or less
than car loads, will be given on application
to the settlement agent or, any agent of the
Canadian Pacific Railway company. Set
tiers effects are admitted into Canada free of
duty, --. y is-.t&.

free from taxes. There is a small one for
education and another for local improve,

The organization of the school dis

formed cannot exceed five miles in length or
breadth, and must contain at least four actual
residents and twelve children, between the
ages Of and 16. The cost of maintaining
schools is moderate owing to the liberal as
