SEEDING IN PROGRESS
IN WESTERN CANADA.
Nild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
Of Settlers.

The splendid yields Of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
As result the inquiries made Of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those Of the
eame period last year. Railroad COM
panies are putting on increased carry
ing capacity to meet the demand made
upon them for carrying passengers
and freight. Everything points to q
most prosperous year. There Is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
It is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number 1t
Is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from

lust little snow, hardly enough for
