WESTERN CANADA AROUSING
 GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields of Wheat-At-
 tracing Thousands.

Until the last five or six years but
 vast area of grain-producing land
 lying north of the 10th parallel and
 immediately adjoining the northern
 boundaries of Minnesota and Dakota.
 The Canadians thems selves were
 aware of the wealth that lay there,
 out being unable to fully occupy it, they have asked the Americans to assist them in converting the land from it's virgin state to one that will
 largely supplement- the grain-produc- ing area of the North American Con-
 tinent, and the response has been l most liberal.
 During the year 1901 upwards of
 10000 from the United States went
 over to Canada, being induced to set tle there by the reports that reached them of the success of those who had preceded them during the previous years. This 2O,G0O was increased to
 30.o00 during the year 1902. and it is
 fully expected that there will be fully 50,000 during the present year. The work of the migration branch of the Canadian Government is not now be- ing directed towards giving informa- ton as to the advantages of settle | ment in Canada as it is o extending an invitation to the American to follow those who have gone.
 Those who have charge of the work point with considerable pride to the success of those who have been in- duced to take advantage of the offer of 160 acres of land free in Canada, and have no cause to hesitate in continuing the invitation. Many of those interest," ed say there are no more free home- steads to be had in Canada, but the
 writer has most positive assurance
 from the Canadian Government that
 there arc thousands of such home-
 s,eads to be had, and in one of the dis
 tricts now being opened up fully as
 good as the best. and it is proba bly, the best.
 The Canadian Government has estab- lished Agencies at St. Paul. Minn.;
 Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo-; Chi
 cago, Ill.,; Indianapolis, Ind: Milwau- kee, Wis; Wausau, Wis; Detroit, Sault Ste. Marie and Marquette. Mich.; To- ledo, Ohio; Watertown, s. Dakota; Grand Forks, N. Dakota. and Great Falls. Montana, and the suggestion is made that by addressing any of these, who are the authorized agents of the Government, it will be 10 the advantage
 of the reader, who will be given the fullest and most authentic informa- ton regarding the results of mixed farming, dairying. ranching, and grain
 raising. and also supply information as
 to freight and passenger rates. etc.
