THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA.
DIAN WEST.

Nearly 100000 of an Increase In
Canadian Inning ration In 1906.
The progress of new country cannot
be better ascertained than by noting
the increase of railroad mileage in its
transportation system, and judged Dy
this standard, the Canadian West leads
all the countries in the world during
the current year. Thirty years ago
there was not one hundred miles OF
railroad west Of the Great Lakes. ana
very little prospect Of transconti-
mental route for many years to come
but by the end of 1885 the Canadian
Pacific Railway was within measurable
distance of completion, and last year,
twenty years later, fully 5000 miles Oh
railroad traversed the provinces OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work OF railroad
construction has been vigorously prose
cuted, and by the end Of 1906, some
5000 miles Of completed railroad mas
been added, making a total OF fully
II 900 miles in the three great grain
producing provinces of Canada. Such
an increase in the transportation facill-
ties Of the country is bound to make
good times not only In the districts
where the railroads are being built,
but throughout the entire west. Allow
ing $4,000 a mile for construction, the
sum of $1OOOOO,OOO will be put IN cir
culation and this in Itself should cause
good times to prevail In land where
work is plentiful, wages are high, and
the cost of living is moderate.
But the building Of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation by
the cost of construction. Additional
railway building means the 1pe"!ng OF
new agricultural districts and an addi-
tional area under crop. a largely In
creased output of grain to foreign mar
kets with consequent financial returns;
the erection of elevators and the growth
Of villages, towns and cities and every
thing else that makes for the progress
of national life and the opening up OF
additional thousands of free home
steads so extensively advertised by the
Canadian government agent, whose ad-
dress appears elsewhere.
1t was stated on the floor OF the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative hat ten years
from now would see the bulk Ct the
population of Canada residing west Of
the Great Lakes, and if the work Of
railway building during the present
year is any criterion, the prophecy
made by the Canadian statesman may
be easily fulfilled inside OF the time
stated During the present year no less
than 1SS,064 persons have found ZONES
in the Canadian West, of whom 5I,796
We're Americans who have seen the
great possibilities of this new West,
and have decided to cast in t1elr lot
with it, Certainly, our neighbor north
of the 10th parallel is making : great
record. and deserves the succe9, that
appears to be coming its way,
