M Canada has anticipated very heavy
Immigration this year. and she now has
figures to show that she II actually
getting It in sway to meet an her
expectations. In the ilrst four.
months Of this year thu doors Of the,
dominion opened to. la672 persons,
according to report Eepared by
the committee ON agriculture and
acolcnization Of the Canoslianssperlia-
ment. This IL almost Twice as large
- the immigration lathe 9c0rre-
spending months last iii1r and fully
three times as large DIN 1901, the
ss.espective figures bei1 90 1852 and.
1898.
Most Of these ne1e1mers have
been attracted by the Glieat lands Sc
the Northwest territoiies. They
have moved direct fr Winnipeg
and they have turned st city into
q great camp, in whiexsstheN alaysl

United States attracted

period this spring. As to the re.
mainder Of the immigration into
Canada, 1870 settlers came from the.
United States. q so per cent. increase
over the preceding year. and 10,445
from Continental Europe. q 40 per
cent. increase.
These 4o.672 immigrants into
Canada may appear triffing in COM
parison with the 297,070 persons who
entered the United States in tho
same period. but they are proper
tionately more important to the
country. Canada's population IS one
fifteenth Of ours. but her immigra.
ton Is now two-fifteenths as large 40
ours. II is worth remembering also
that Canada's immigrants are almost
entirely of Anglo-Saxon and Teuton-
ic races, while our immigration Is
now two-thirds made up Of Romance
and Slav elements.
Speculation is natural az to the
future Of Canada in her relations to
the United States when her North
west territories are filed up, but
the one absolutely certain fact Of the
near future is that the United States
IS to have a great competitor IN the
grain markets of the world"
The above editorial article taken
from the columns of the Chicago
Record Herald Of Mayo goth shows
the condition Of the Canadian I'm
migration, which as pointed out, has
had a constant growth-a marvellous
" increasing growth-for the past
six or seven years, until this year, it
is confidently assumed the increase
to Canada's population, by way OF
immigration, will exceed 100000.
This is accounted for by the great
agricultural resources which abound
there. It is no fairy tale. but the
matter-of-fact experience of the tens
Of thousands bear ample testimony
to the wealth and riches in store for
all who choose to accept Of the OPP
sportnnities offered.
