WESTERN CANADA's IMMIGRlTIos
Rapid Settlement Of the Whea, Fila,
Lying North OF the 4eth Parau.I


From the Chicago Record-HeraId,
Canada has anticipated a ve-,
heavy immigration this year, ana 81.
now has figures to show that sba !.
actually getting 1t in a way to NEE,
all her expectations. In the first fou,
months of this year the doors Of IN.
Dominion opened to 4O,672 persons
according to report prepared by IN,
committee on agriculture and colon,.
cation of the Canadian parliamep,
This is almost twice as large as the
immigration in the corresponding
months last year, and fully thres
times as large as in 1901, the respec.
tive figures being q, 4S2 and 1898,
Most of these newcomers have
been attracted by the wheat lands OF
the Northwest territories. They hays
moved direct to Winnipeg and they
have turned that city into great
camp, in which they have been fitting
themselves out for the last stage Of
their advent IRE for new homes.
"Of the immigration OF this spring
little over a third has come from
Great Britain, the figure being 16,451.
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
tracted from Great Britain and Ire
land in the same period this spring
AS TO the remainder Of the immigrs
ton into Canaua 13,7r0 settlers came
from the United States, so per cen,
increase over the preceding year, and
l0,445 from Continental Europe, a a
per cent increase.
These 40,672 immigrants into Can
ada may appear trifiing in compari
son with 297070 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-fifteenth of ours, but
her immigration is now two-fifteenths
as large as ours. II is worth remem
boring also that Canadas immigranti
are almost entirely AngloSaxon and
Teutonic races, while our immigra
ton is now two-thirds made up Of
Romance and Slav elements"
Speculation is natural as to th'
future OF Canada in her relations Il
the United States when her North
west territories are filed up, but tn,
one absolutely certain fact Of the neal
future is that the United States is Il
have a great competitor In the grair
markets of the world"
The above editorial article takel
from the columns of the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald Of May Goth. shows tn,
condition OF the Canadian immigra
ton, which as pointed Jut, has had |
constant growth--a marvellously In
creasing growth-for the past six Of
seven years, until this year, II Is con
fdently assumed the increase to Can
ada's population. by way OF immigra
ton, will exceed 100000. This is &C
counted for by the great agriculture
resources which abound there. II u
no fairy tale, but the mater-of-fac
experience of the tens of thousand
bear ample testimony to the wealtl
and riches in store for all who choos
to accept Of the opportunities Of
fered.
