ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many of our journals
and public men to "sit up and take no
tice," to use current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have flocked to the
prairie provinces Of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
Of soil and suitability of climate for
producing what is universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat in the
world-the mo. 1 Hard" of Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 3d.
000, 900 bushels; oats, 76,0O0,0OO bush
els; barley, 100000 bushels; and
when it is considered that the entire
population of the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
just completed-is only $4,000, it Is
easily seen that the lure Of the Cana
dian West is in its agricultural poten-
tialities.
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 prod
ucts rule practically from the COM
mencement of agricultural operations.
This is factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and in the
United States, and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system of home
steads 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 onerous) 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 addi-
tional 70 the western population, OF
which s7,796 were from the United
States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought about by the agent Of the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that a splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and is easy of access in even
the most remote districts, is another
great inducement 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 a
circle of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of immigration has set
in so steadily toward the country to
the north of our boundary line.
