WESTERN CANADA'S
HAPPY PROSPECTS.

In no year since the development or
Western Canada began has spring
brought brighter outlook than II
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement or immi-
grafton has already assumed large pro-
portions, and is as desirable In char
acter as il Is satisfactory in volume;
from across the Atlantic sturdy, indus
trious and thrifty newcomers are ar
irving i'm large numbers, homeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
Provinces are coming in steady
stream, and from across the interna-
tional boundary a movement is al
ready in full flow, which, it is conf.

of all previous years; special settlers
trains are crossing the line, loaded
with effects, actual material wealth

the rate of millions of dollars worth
