ing elaborate preparations for a state

gers will visit the city.
The celebration will be confined to
one block, Monona avenue, a broad

night and a white city by day. An
electric palisade has been worked up on
an expensive scale for the event. Gov
ernor R. M. La Toilette will make the
address of welcome.
A mild sensation has been caused
by the report that John Commit, special
policeman, will arrest, four aldermen
if they do not Immediately purchase the
required tags for their dogs: "Men who
make laws certainly should not break
them" declared the officer who also
threatened a prominent member of the
board of education with arrest before,

Iowa farmer who had found a new home
in Manitoba. ''Our farm down in Iowa

by the most careful organized and most

in the world. 1t carries on it's work cease

States and Europe.
Fourteen permanent agencies are main

middle states. thousands of agricultural
and rural weekly papers are supplied
with advertisements and a rain of attrac-
tive literature" is maintained. The
American work is under the immediate
supervision of Mr.. W. j. White, who
has carefully studied his field and made
a great success of his work. The whole
purpose of the excellent Canadian exhibits
at the worlds fair was to arouse inter-
est in Canada and stimulate immigration.
The chief attractions of western Canada
to American farmers are the cheap or
free lands and the bountiful yields of
small grains. Whether it is because the
soil is still new or whether it is because
it is exceptionally rich in the food OF
the wheat plant, it is indisputable that
western Canada is the most bountiful
wheat-producing region on the continent.
Average Twenty Bushels to Acre.
For twenty-one crops Manitoba has
maintained an average of about twenty
bushels to the acre, and has had several
crops hat averaged more than twenty
five bushels. During the six years that
agricultural statistics nave been collected
in the territories the average yield of
wheat per acre has been almost twenty
bushels. Yields of as high as forty bush
els to the acre are not uncommon.
Few Americans are aware of the i'm

Western Canada was discovered, in a
sense, by James W. Taylor, who was for
many years United States Consul at Win
nipeg. Fifty years ago he became con-
yinced that western Canada had great
possibilities as a wheat-producing coun-
try. twenty-five years since he declared
that three-fourths Of the spring wheat
area of this continent was north of the
boundary line. It was not until five or,
six years ago that the farmers of the
American west began to realize that Mr..
Taylor was a true prophet.
Then began that remarkable population
movement which still goes on apace-the
movement Of Americans into Canada,
which has within the last few years car
ried ITS, 900 people from "the ~states'' into
Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta, and Sas-
katchewan. Following the example Of
the Americans, immigrants in large num-
bers have poured in from the British
islands and continental Europe.
Competent observers predict that if
new settlers continue to pour into west
ern Canada and enough railway extern
sions are forthcoming, it is altogether
likely that within ten years western Can
ada will be turning out $50, 900, 900 bush.
els of wheat yearly.
Present Outlook Is Bright.
At present the outlook is favorable for
large immigration and extensive railway
building. The Canadian Northern Is
building about 800 miles of line in Assini-
boia and Saskatchewan The Canadian
Pacific is building several ndr miles
of extensions in Manitoba and the terri
tories, and the Grand Trunk Pacific is
about to begin the construction Of Can
