A LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES.
Inducements Held Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.

A recent number of the Winnipeg
(Manitoba) Free Press contains an
excellent article on the prospects in
Western Canada, a portion of which
VIC are pleased to reproduce.
The agents of the Canadian Gov
eminent, located at different centres
in the States, will be pleased to give
any further information as to rates,
and how to reach these lands.
Just now there is a keener inter-
est than ever before on the part of
the outside world, in regard to the
claims of the Canadian West as a field
of settlement. At no previous time
has there been such a rush of immi-
grafton, and the amount Of informa-
ton distributed broadcast is unprece-
dentedly great.
"In the majority of the States of
the Union and in Great Britain the
opportunities for home-making and
achieving Of even a modest compe-
tence are at the best limited. More
over, according to the social and in
dustrial conditions prevalent in those
communities, the future holds out no
promise of better things. 1t is not
strange, then, that energetic young
men should turn their eyes to Can
ada's great wheat belt, where every
man can pursue fortune without the
hindrance of any discouraging handi-
cap.
1.-THE inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably
certain is borne out by the history of
the country and it's residents. The
promise Of gain is powerful, but when
added to it there is the prospect of a
corresponding social and civil eleva-
ton, it should prove irresistible to
young men of a particularly desirable
class for any new country.
1.-THE Canadian West is alive with
opportunities for the young nan who
aims at becoming more than a mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some of the eager young fellows who
arrive on the prairies daily are des-
tined to become more than merely
prosperous farmers. In the near flu
ture great municipal and provincial
development will be in the hands of
the people. The stepping stone to
both financial prosperity and civil
prominence is, and will be, the farm.
For every professional opening there
are hundreds of agricultural openings.
The Canadian prairies are teeming
with opportunities for the honest and
industrious of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
young man who seeks a field for the
energy and ability which he feels in
herent within him. The familiar cry
of Back to the soil!" is more than
a vain sounding phrase when applied
to Western Canada"
