ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.

Magnificent Crop Return for the
Year 1906.
The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many Of our jour
nails and public men to sit up and take
notice, to use a current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
numbers of settlers have flocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportuni-
ties are open to all who desire to avail
themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting set
tiers lies in the inherent richness of
soil and suitability of climate for pro-
ducing what is universally considered
to be the finest wheat in the world
the mo. l hard" of Canadian growth
and other cereals that rank in the very
first class This year the harvest re-
turns were: Wheat, 100000 bush
els; oats, 100000 bushels; barley,
100000 bushels; and when it is con-
sidered that the entire population of
the three prOvinces-as evidenced by
the quiquennial census just completed
is only $4,000, it is easily seen that
the lure of the Canadian West is in it's
agricultural potentialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction Is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy reach
of outside markets, and that good
prices for all lines of farm products
rule practically from the commence
ment of agricultural operations. This
is a factor which did not prevail when
the earlier settlements in the West
were made in Canada and in the Unit
ed States, and has given a great Inn
petus to Canadian Western settlement
In recent years.
The free grant system of homesteads
which prevails in the prairie provinces,
by which every settler who is able and
willing to comply with the conditions
Of actual settlement (by no means on
erous) is given $50 acres free, except
$40 for entry, is a great drawing card,
and in the last fiscal year gathered in
over $4,000 additional to the West
ern population, of which 57,796 were
from the United States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought out by the agent of the Cana
dian Government, whose address APP
pears elsewhere, that a splendid COM
mon school system, practically free, pre-
walls throughout the entire country,
and is easy of access in even the most
remote districts, is another great in
ducement to the settler who has the
future welfare of his family in mind,
and this, coupled with the fact that
Western Canadian law and order are
proverbial, completes circle of good
and sufficient reasons why the tide of
immigration has set in so steadily to-
ward the country to the north of our
boundary line.
