Canada has anticipated a very
heavy immigration this year. and she
now has figures To show that she is
actually getting II in way to meet
all her expectations. In the first four
months of this year the doors of the
Dominion opened to 40672 persons,
according to report prepared by the
committee on agriculture and colonl.
cation of the Ga adian parliament,
This Is almost Twice as large as the
immigration in the corresponding
months last year, and fully three
timer 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 great
camp, in which they have been fitting
themselves out fer 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 l6,45T.
