During the fiscal year ending June 80.
1902, the total number Of recorded inn
migrants into Canada was 64,634; of whom
II 900 were British, 25,535 continental Eu-
ropeans, and 24,09a Americans. AS thou
sands of Americans slip into Canada with
out being counted, 1t is probable that the
true number of American immigrants in
this year was near 10000. During the
calendar year ending Dec. 81, 1902. prob
ably IS, 900 Americans out of a total innli-
grafton of near 80, 900, entered Canada All
but a very few of these Americans settle
in western Canada. The Americans seem
to be better fixed by far than any other
class of Canadian immigrants. All OF the
new corners together In 1902 took in with
them $4,5S0,00O worth of property. OF
which amount s3,751,363 was owned by
the Americans. More Americans are TAX

The reports issued by the Dominion I'm
migration department indicated that the
population Of Manitoba and the North West
territories had been augmented by fully
400, 900 souls during 1902 @ 81
From Jan. to Oct. 81, the number of
migrants registering at Winnipeg was
4,O35. The returns for November have
not yet been completed by the authorities,
but it is estimated that the number will
be in the neighborhood Of 5000, making a
total of 5000.
These figures, do not, however, show the
total arrivals. The officers were wont to
estimate that fully Is per cent Of the i'm
migrants were Of the indepedent class, or
coming out to friends, and did not require
the assistance or advice Of the department,
| and therefore never registered and the Of
fce had no trace Of them. The class OF
immigrants has been gradually improving,
and the percentage which does not regis

but to what are already accomplished
facts.

it's future greatness have at the bottom
but one cause. 1t Is the country tribu-

Winnipeg being what it is to-day.
Winnipeg is the gateway to the greatest
