year. Under ordinary conditions the new
settler makes living during his first year.
He builds himself cabin or rude board
home, and if he has not much capital OF
his own he works a part of his time for
his neighbors, for work is always plenty
and wages good. The second year, how
ever, he has in his own grain. 1t is a
common saying throughout Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta that "the settler
makes a good living the first year, builds
himself good home the second, and is
independent the third"

cd with these thousands of my people who

hundreds of thousands of Americans that
Canadas wheat lands were considerably
overestimatcd. There are large num-
Der of land companies in the United
States whose promoters very much dis
like to see good American farmers taking
up land in Canada when they have vast
tracts of their own to dispose Of. One
of the ''stories" frequently seen IN Amer
lean papers is that the good homestead
land. or free land, of the Dominion is al
ready taken up. Millions Of acres of the
best land in the world are now open to
American settlers in Manitoba, Saskatche-

Canadian correspondence:
what are the settlers of Western
Canada-and most of all the farmers who
have emigrated from the United States

editor of one of our big American maya
zines short time ago by which l was
assigned to travel through the great wheat

cover just what the conditions were there,

of tho editor quoted above:
Imagine first of all, a train of forty ton
cars 1,4J4 miles in lcngth--a train, in
other words. which would reach from
New York City to Denver, or from the
Canadian border through the States of
North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kan
Sas, Oklahoma and Texas. and for 80
miles down into old Mexico. and you will
have some idea of this years production
of grain in the three great provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In other words, it will take more than
100000 cars to carry the grain production
Of these provinces alone this autumn.

rate of twenty miles an hour, he would

miles on each side of these roads the
great part of the population of settlers
live. Beyond these narrow belts are
millions of acres of the best land in the
world and it is safe to say that within
ten years it will be almost entirely taken
up-and American farmers wifi occupy a
great portion of it. No farmer in this
country has to carry his crops far, for
every few miles along the railroads towns
or stations are laid out, and at every
place there is huge elevator, and some
times several Of them, each holding from
10000 to 10000 bushels.
A few paragraphs back, | made the
statement that many American land COM
panies are trying to give the impression
that the free homestead lands Of the Do
minion are about gone. To show how
ridiculous this is, l will give the figures
which have been secured through W. j.
Kennedy, of the Department Of lmmigra-
ton. who has made an exhaustive inves-
tigation of this subject. According to
the results of his investigation there are
at the present time more than 1U,-
900 free homesteads already surveyed
and awaiting settlers, and in addi.
ton to those there are vast tracts OF the
best land in the world which have not
yet been surveyed, and which will be
homesteaded
And from my long experience in the
Dominion West, / confidently believe that
during the next two years nearly all OK
these homesteads vii have been taken up
by good American farmers-the farmers
from our own States who are making
Western Canada what it is to-day. Years
ago the best advice in the world was,
"Young man, 60 West" To-day it has
changed in small way. Now IT is:
Young man, 90 to Western Canada

three days and three nights to see the
end Of it,
1t would carry past him more than
1OO,0oO,OO0 bushels of the best wheat in
the world 12O,OOO,0OO bushels of oats and
2O,OOO,000 bushels of barley, for these
figures, according to very best estimates
that can be given at the present time,
show what the settlers of Western Canada
have raised this year in the way of grain.
Never in the history of any country
has there been more prosperous year
for farmers than the present one IN the
Dominion West. SO enormous has been
the grain production that nearly 2o,oOO,-
900 pounds of binder Irvine were required
for the crops. Oats this season
have gone as high as one hundred
bushels to the acre, while over large areas
of country the average has been as high as
eighty and. ninety bushels. The wheat
yield has been IS high as fifty bushels to
the acre and from figures already in 1t
is believed that the total will show an
average Weld of between twenty and tWen-
ty-Gye bushels to the acre throughout the
three provinces.
1t is difficult for one to understand
Just what Western Canada means to the
farmer until he takes at least one trip
through that country. As yet the vast
grain lands of the three western prov
inces. with an area large enough to sup
port the population of a nation, have
hardly been scratched. In other words, it
NAV truthfully be said that the tremen-
dous production of these provinces to-day
is that of few pioneers. Last year
sixty thousand of the best farmers in
the United States took up new homes
for themselves there, and from the sta
tistics of the past two or three years each
one Of these settlers will be harvesting
from 800 to 1000 bushels of grain next

STUDENTS RETAIN CLASS RUSH.
Vote Down Van Hise's Suggestion for
Milder Amusement.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 3,-The efforts
Of President Van Hisc Of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin to have safe and
sane class rush were knocked on the
head last night when the student con
ference committee voted to retain the
lake rush.
The lake rush is the feature of the an
uual clash between the sophomore and
freshmen classes that appeals most to
the bystanders. The president, with the
faculty has always opposed 1t. however,
claiming that it is dangerous to the
health of the contestants. Time and

4 mlder form of hazng. Previous to
the opening Of the university year this
fall he had redoublcd his efforts.
