IMMIGRATION INTO
CANADA ON INCREASE
Many Settlers Leave United
States for Dominion

In stating that emigration from the
United States to Canada during 1909
far exceeded all anticipations Consul
Harry A. Conant of Windsor discusses
some of the features of the movement.
as follows:
More than $1,000 persons came in ex-
cess of the highest calculations Early
in the year it was thought by sangufne
officials that $4,000 might be expected,
but there were 90.148. The immigra-
tion commissioner estimates that the
average wealth of each of these settlers
in Canadian territory is $1,000 which
means that $50 100000 has been added
to the wealth of western Canada.
There has also been realized from the
greatest wheat crop known in years
another $12O,000,000 making total of
S210,000,000 of new wealth during 1909.
The American. arrivals have taken up
in homesteads and pre- emptions 2.4O0,-
600 acres of land, which at the lowest
estimate means a half million acres
added to the crop of the coming season.
There are several reasons advanced
by authorities for the large increase in
immigration to Canadian territory. but
the one given the most credence is the
easy manner in which homestead lands
can be obtained and the inducements
held out to prospective settlers. Fol-
lowing is synopsis of Canadian north
west land regulations:
Any person who is the sole head of
family, or any male person over IS
years old, may homestead a quarter
section of available dominion land in
the newer and unsettled country. The
applicant must appear in person at
the dominion land agency or subagency
for the district. Entry by proxy may
be made at any agency on certain
conditions by father. mother, brother
sister, son or daughter of intending
hOmesteader- Six months residence
upon and cultivation of the land in
each of three years is required. A
homesteader may live within nine miles
of his homestead on a farm of at least
80 acres solely owned and occupied by
him or by his father, mother, son,
daughter, brother or sister.
I'm certain districts a homeSteader
in good standing may pre-empt a quar-
ter section alongside of his homestead
at SO per acre, in which case the person
must reside six months in each of six
years from date of homestead entry and
cultivate so acres extra.
"A homesteader who has exhausted
his homestead right and can not obtain
a presumption may take a purchased
homestead in certain districts at
cost of SO per acre. On this the per
son must reside six months in each
of three years, cultivate so acres and
must erect a house worth at least
