NEW ARRIVALS IN CANADA
NEARLY 300. 900 IN 1907.
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM
THE UNITED STATES.


Now that II is known that in the
year just closed nearly sixty thou
sand from the United States declared
their intention OF making their homes
In Canada, IL might not be out OF
place to search for some reasons that
would bring this about. These people
are but following the example of the
fifty-hve or sixty thousand who did
the same thing the year previous, and
an almost equal number who the year
before that but followed the example
of the thousands of the year preced-
ing. An excellent climate, certain and
positive crops of grain OF all kinds,
good markets for their produce, land
and good land, too at low prices,
easy terms of payment. (not forget.
ting the 160 acres of land given free
by the Government particulars o.
which the Canadian Government Agent
whose name appears elsewhere will
tell you about and then the splendid
social conditions. The situation Is
pretty well sized up by a writer in one
of the magazines. Quoting from this
article, we find this Those of us

are hardships in building shanties,
and then with increasing prosperity
getting things into shape for better
homes. But affairs go much as in the
States. We have the largest liberty 10
the world; there is more home rule IN
the Provinces than in the several
states of the Republic. Taxes are
light and with only few million peo-

mer see to it that we take notice of
the latest improvements and best agri-
cultural machinery. Altogether we are
as near to affairs as we would be on
our own farms in the States. Winni-
peg bears the same relation to us as
Chicago did at home; and Edmonton
with the surrounding region advances
as Omaha did in the days when we
were as young as the boys yonder.
We get together much as they did in
the oranges over the border; the gov
ernment has established experimental
schools Of agriculture, and progress in
every line rs stimulated. This is a
great region for grazing" we hear the
Calgary citizen continuing, "and then
with building elevators of wheat at
one dollar a bushel, many Of us find
time to 60 over to the live stock ex-
hibition in Chicago or visit old friends
during the course of the winter.
Every man is taken for what he is
worth or for what he can raise; and
In this good air and on this fertile soil
we intend to show our old friends
that we are made of the right stuff
that we are chips of the old block
who built up the American West"
