THE looming NATION"

Now the American immigration
question in Canada has reached a eli
max. It takes only three years for an
immigrant to earn vote in Canada,
and $4,000 former American voters
will soon come into their Canadian
suffrage. There are in round num-
bers 100000 males more than 18 years
of age in western Canada who former
ly lived in the United States, 10000
of whom are old enough to vote. There
are now between 100000 and SOC, 900
settlers, with possible voting pop
ulation of 100000, a high per centage
because many cattlemen without fam
tiles are emigrating from Montana
and Wyoming. BY the end of 1905
the American vote in the Canadian
West will be overwhelming.
In eastern Canada thousands of peo-
pie believe that this invasion means
the ultimate annexation Of Western
Canada by the United tates. It is
called "the coming nation. The
Worlds Work.
