ANOTHER RECORD IN
LAND-HUNTiNG.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

1t was thought in 1903, when over
forty-five thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit OF the yearly emigration to the
wheat zone of the Continent had been
reached. But when in 1904 about as
large a number of American citizens
signified their intention of becoming
settlers on Canadian lands, the gen.
eral public were prepared for the an
nouncement of large numbers in 1905.
No surprise therefore will be caused
when it is made known that the pre-
dictions of fully fifty thousand more in
1905 are warranted in the fact that
the Spring movement Canadaward is
greater than it has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago,
st. Paul Detroit, and other gateways,
have been crowded Many have gone
to join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
have gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
have done can also be done by them.
This year much new territory has
been opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the Continent. This new
territory has attractions for those de-
string to homestead on the one hun
dred and sixty acres granted each set
tier by the Canadian Government.
MANY alcn falya nd n nf tho
portunity to purchase lands at the low
figures at which they are now being
offered.
II does not require much thought
to convince one that If Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels Of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the
acre, the lands of Western Canada at
seven to ten dollars an acre, produc-
ing from twenty to thirty bushels Of
q superior wheat to the acre, should
produce competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres of
such land in Western Canada In addi-
tion to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portion of the biggest
and best ranges that ever invited the
cattle and horse producer Of the North
American continent. What is particu
larly evident IN Western Canada Is
the fact that the wheat lands, adjoin-
ing the grazing lands, make farming
particularly agreeable and profitable.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment. who are always willing to give
Information ana advice to intending
settlers, say that the acreage put un-
der crop this season is greatly In eI-
cess OF last season.
