"Canada has anticipated very
heavy Immigration this year. and she
now has figures to show that she Is
actually getting Il IN a way to meet
all her expectations. IN the hrst four
months Of this year the doors Of the
Dominion opened TO 4o672 persons,
according 70 a report prepared by the
committee on agriculture and coloni-
Kation OF the Canadian parliament.
This IL almost twice as large as the
immigration ia 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 ard they
have turned that city into a great
camp. IN which they have been ftting
themselves out for the last stage Of
their adventure for new homes.
"Of the immigration Of this spring
a little over a third has come from
Great Britain, the figure being 6.45T.
This is three times as large as the
British immigration Of the correspond
ing months Of the preceding year, and
It Is within $500 Of the number Of
immigrants that the United States at
tFacted from Great Britain and Ire
land in the came period this spring.
As 10 the remainder Of the immigFa-
tion into cgnaua 1870 settlers came
from the United States. a 50 per cent
increase over the preceding year, and
10.446 from Confidential Europe, 40
per cent increase.
"These 4o.e72 immigrants into Can.
ada may appear trifing in compari.
son with 297,070 persons who entered
the United States in the same period
but they are proportionately more Inn
portant to the country. Canada's pop
ulation "a ene-hfteenth OF ours. but
her immigration Is now two-hfteenths
as large az ours Il is worth remem-
bering also that canada's immigrants
are almost entirely Anglo-saxon and
Teutonlc races, while our immigra-
ton IS now two-thirds made up Of
Romance and elav 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 a great competitor in the grain
markets OF the world"
The above editorial article taken
from the columns Of lne Chicago Rec
ewd- d-Herald Of May 2sth, shows the
condition Of the Canadian immigra-
tson, which as pointed out, has had
annstant erowth--a maryellously in
cseasing growth--for the past six or
seven years. until this year. It is eoa-
fidently assumed the Increase to Can

uon, viii exceed 100000 This Is ac-
counted for By the great agricultural
resources which abound there. It is
no fairy tale, but the mater-offact
experience Of the tens Of thousands

and riches In store for all who choose
to accept Of the opportunities Of
