not know the possibilities of his vast
possessions until recently when a few
enterprising Canadian and American
farmers began pushing out along the
new Canadian Pacific railroad, and es
tablishing their homes in the hitherto
supposed wilderness of barren prairies
and impossible mountains and forests
There they found millions of acres of as
fine grain land as one could wish, and

where. Another misconception which
is rapidly becoming exploded was re-
garding the climate. The winters were
supposed to be long and rigorous, when
as matter of fact they were little diff.
ferent from our own.
The Canadian government, seeing the
possibilities of its vast western terri
tory, framed some of the most liberal
homestead laws in existence, Offering
large tracts of land free to the set
tier. Americans with their energetic
methods were especially desired, so
they established agencies in many of
the large cities in this country, allowing
free transportation of all immigrants
who settled in their country. As con-
sequence, Canada is already sending u
large quota of grain and cattle to the
markets of the world, but the country
has only begun to be settled as COM

land still untaken.

management of j. N. Grieve, whose
confidence in the future greatness Of
his country is only equalled by his
courteous treatment of visitors.
