100000 TO CROSS BORDER.
This is an Official Estimate Of Amer
leans Expected This Year.

Montreal, May 4-Daily stories Of
large arrivals of immigrants from Eu-
rope and the United States have a
sameness that is a little tiresome. The
public is probably by this time aware
that settlers are pouring into the north
west of Canada in unprecedented num-
bers. Nevertheless, information on the
subject contributed by w. ]. White, in
spector Of Canadian immigration agen-
quoting. Mr. White says trains from
st. Paul bound for Canada are run
ming in two or three sections daily,
with special trains four days Of the
week. AS to the number of immi-
grants from the United States expected
this year. the official estimate is 15O,-
900: but larger number will probably
come. The growth OF the movement
may be gathered from the fact that in
1897 the total immigration from the
United States to Canada was less than
1000.
Asked as to the nationality of the
incoming settlers. Mr. White stated
that about 20 per cent were returning
Canadians, IS per cent British, about
30 per cent German and Scandinavian
and the rest native Americans. With
regard to the reported opposition en-
oountered by the immigration depart
ment i'm it's work, Mr.. White said he
preferred to call it competition There
was going on at present in the United
States, he said, a remarkable flow OF
population from the cities to the farms.
"The United States government, vari-
Gus state governments. the railway
companies and prominent people, like
James ]. HILL" he said. "are active In
this work. and we meet with competi-
tion from various states, and also from
Mexico At the same time this move
ment which really amounts to social
phenomenon, works to our advantage.
The general demand for land gives us
good opening to advertise our great

sary Of Its Declaration Of

steps toward a stand against English
rule in the shape of formal renun-
citation of allegiance to the British
crown.
Two years ago the legislature declar-
ed for the observance of the annivers-
ary as public holiday throughout the
state. Todays celebration consisted

was signed 134 years ago by the states
men OF Rhode Island. In further OBJ
servance of the anniversary salute of

FRUIT GROWERS LOOK FOR
BUMPER CROP This YEAR
Indications Point to Best Yield
in History Of the North
western States.
NO DANGER OF LATE FREEZE

Spokane, Wash, May 4.-Officers of
commercial organizations in Washing
ton, oregon, Idaho and Montana say In
reports to the Spokane chamber of
commerce there is every indication that
the fruit crop this year will be the
largest and most profitable in the his
tory of the four states. Private ad-
vices from growers in the province of
British Columbia are that the outlook
lis good for apples and other fruits.
There is no danger of a late freeze, but
should the unexpected happen the
owners Of commercial tracts are ready
to do battle with hundreds of thous-
ands of smudge pots or orchard heat
ers. 1t is predicted that higher prices
will prevail as a result of the heavy
damage to the crop in the middle west
ern states.
+. A. Huntley, state horticultural
commissioner. says that growers in
Washington will produce twice as much
fruit this season as in 1908, the year
of the record crop. Including peaches,
apricots. cherries, berries and other
soft fruits the yield will be at least
doubled owing to the increased acreage
he adds, while the apple crop will show
an increase of about 25 per cent. ore
gon. Idaho, Montana and British Co
lumbia will have equally large yields
as the result of increased acreage and
trees coming into bearing this season.
With increased transportation facil-
tiles and the steady influx of settlers,
the early attempts in the valleys and
uplands have become more pretentious,
sustained and systematic. Dry farm
ing is practiced extensively and irriga-
tion plants have been established by
private individuals and corporations,
also by the United States government,
which is expending enormous sums in
reclaiming the volcanic wastes so Won
derfully rich and fertile and so pecu-
liarly adapted to raising fruits, un-
blemished and perfect in size and color.
