Facts for the COnsidera-

draws this truthful picture Of western de-
velopment and It's future possibilities:
The march Of events in the developments
OF the nation is giving to the great west
the grandest opportunity in the history
OF America. The mighty northwest is es-
pecially winning a standing and a pros
perity that is marvellous and 1t comes as
the result of conditions over which con-
crosses and legislatures have little In
nuence.
It is one Of the noticeable facts in the
financial and business conditions Of this
time thai the eyes OF the country are on
the western states. The crops. the banks.
the money supply and the disposition Of
the people are watched with an eagerness
that IL u~nexampled. II 10 the apotheosis of
the great wheat and corn section OF the
nation. The stock-raising regions have al
ways been able to care for themselves, but
the small farmer is now in the ascendency,
as he is situated in the west, particularly
in the northwest. The southwest has had
its innings in the past and while it has
som attention and there are many thou
sands Of new settlers in that part Of the
newer states. the great bulk OF the immi-
grafton is nearer to the northern border
OF the United States.

A great deal OF talk is appearing in a
loose sort OF Q way in the papers regarding
the Characterization OF Canada and re-
fsrring to the settlement OF Americans on
the northern side of the border line be-
tween the two nations. 1t is not to be
taken too seriously. In the first place
there Is too much OF Canada for the slowly
seeping immigration from this country TO
change Il materially In its social aspects.
The immigration from Europe and from
eastern Canada to the western provinces is
nearly as large as that from this nation.
The customs and manners. the politics and
the surroundings are against any material
result from the movement over the line.
Then, as is shown in our correspondence

wheat region Of central North America and
that limit does not give to western Canada
