CANADA AFTER SETTLERS

The Canadian government has
projected q vast immigration
scheme in order to attract settlers
from the United States TO North
west Canada. The campaign for
desirable settlers is being worked
systematically, somewhat as a
Wholesale dealer works for increas'
ed business. The western part OF
the United States is divided into
districts, and in every center there
are immigration agents who present
the advantages of the undeveloped
Canadian country to pioneer farm
ers. The government is aided in
its plans by the railroads and real
estate agents, who will also become
benehciarles by the influx OF
settlers. 1t is said that 200, 900
Americans have already become
settlers in that far northern laud,
and that nearly half, that number
are expected to be added this
year.
The government agents take
advantage Of their knowledge OF
human nature, and appeals are
made to prospective settlers of the
vast possibilities of the new coun-
try, where riches can be secured
with little effort and where the
spirit of adventure can find It's
greatest Tuition. Incidents in
connection with the early settle
ments of our own western country
are cited in order to fire the i'm
agination and stir the aspirations
for adventure and race for wealth.
And many American agriculturists
are yielding to the promises OF
better things. They do not stop
to consider the winter temperature
ranges from twenty to forty
degrees below zero, or ttat the
hardships of new country cannot
possibly compensate for the sacri-
fee of the comforts of old settled
communities,
