Rapid eettl.ment Of the Wheat FleIda
LYlnn North Of The 10th Parallel.

Rapid Gettlennent Of the wheat Fled
Lying North Of The 49th Parallel.
(From the Chicago Record-Herald.)
Canada has anticipated q yer.
heavy immigration this year, and sh'
now has figures to show that she II
actually getting 1t in way to NEE
all her expectations. In the first fou
months Of this year the doors Of thu
Dominion opened to 4O,672 persons
according to q report prepared by thu
committee on agriculture and coloui
cation Of the Canadian parliament
This is almost twice as large as the
immigration in the Corresponding
months last year, and fully three
times as large as in 1901, the respec
tive figures being 22,4S2 and 1898.
"Most Of these newcomers have
been attracted. by the wheat lands Of
the Northwest territories. They have
moved direct to Winnipeg and they
have turned that city into a great
camp, In which they have been fitting
themselves out for the last stage Of
their adventure for new homes.
"Of the immigration OF this spring
little over third has come from
Great Britain, the figure being 16,467
This Is three times as large as ls&
British immigration Of the correspond
ing months Of the preceding year, and
1t Is within $500 Of the number Of
immigrants that the United States at
tracted from Great Britain and Ire
land In the came period this spring.
As to the remainder Of the immigra-
ton into Canaua 1870 settlers came
from the United States, a so per cent
increase over the preceding year, and
10,445 from Continental Europe, . 40
per cent increase
"These 40,G72 immigrants into Can
ada may appear trifling in compar-
son with 29707O persons who entered
the United States in the same period,
but they are proportionately more i'm.
portant to the country. Canada's pop
ulation is one.fifteenlh Of ours, but
her immigration is now two-ifteenths
as large as ours. It Is worth remem-
bering also that Canada's immigrants
are almost entirely Anglo-Saxon and
Teutonic races, while our immlgra-
ton is now two-thirds made up Of
Romance and CLAW elements"
Speculation Is natural as to the
future Of Canada in her relations to
the United States when her North
west territories are filled up, but the
one absolutely certain fact of the near
future is that the United States Is to
have R great connection in the grain
markets OF ire world.'
The above editorial article taken
from the columns Of the Chicago Rec
ord.Herald of May 26th, shows tho
condition of the Canadian immigra.
ton, which as pointed out, has had a
constant growth-a marvellously in.
creasing growth-for the past six or
seven years, until this year, 1t is con-
fdently assumed the increase to Can
ada's population, by way of immlgra-
ton, will exceed 100000. This is &C
counted for by the great agricultural
resources which abound there. 1t Is
no fairy tale, but the mater.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 opportunities Of
fered.
