Western Canada, even ten war,
was to many a mere mama a Ia,
mystery. Their modest ae.o-
twenty millions bushels OF vbss, -.

production Of North America NJ.
ern Canada Of today looms IN a, ,
nation In the eyes OF the world H.
wheat production has now SCARED .,o,.
the hundred million hushel mari ,,s
represents one-eighth Of the total n-o
duction OF North America.
Years ago It was In order for ir,.,s
ing settlers to make searching inour,..
as to climate soil and markets for arr,
cultural products in Western Canada
before casting In their lots with tbs
country. Today, such is perhap. u.
perfiuous The enormous developmeut
I'm production tells its own tale. WsA.
ern Canada doubled her population 10.
tween the census Of 1891 and that a,
1901. and the population has increased
vastly since. The majority OF the new.
corners hailed from Great Britain ana
the United States. These people,, m~,
presence and prosperity Is a guarantee
that conditions Of life here are prefer.
able to those prevailing where they
came from.
Because Western Canada has attract
ed a large part OF the worlds attention
during the past few years. and because
Il is their business to chronicle the
worlds doings, many OF the magazines
and newspapers throughout the civil
lied globe have sent into this country
their best writer's 10 thoroughly investl-
gate conditions here and 10 give to the
readers Of their respective publications
the story just as they found il, These
writer's are not the ones to
be misled or Influenced by sur
face conditions, or the naturally
optimistic statements Of interest
ed persons. for theirs has been a work
OF analysis probing for the kernel Of
worth in every question and movement
of their day, and many Of the worlds
foremost agricultural experts and pub
lie men Of high ideals have visited
western Canada and given out their
views respecting its possibilities. Be
cause this II So Il Is felt that an
opportunity to secure few opinions on
Western Canada which have been con-
tributed at various times by discerning
and disinterested parties, both from the
United states and Great Britain, will
give TO the public a truer understand
ing Of conditions here than might be
gathered from almost any other source
Nowhere in the history Of the Great
West has there been a larger immigra-
ton or better class Of settlers than Is
now hocling to Central and Southern
Alberta, and. in fact, II is hard to nnd
a more prosperous. satisfied class Of
people anywhere on the American con-
tinent. The settlers are people princl'
pauy from Great Britain and ths
United States passed through the por'
Of entry into Western canada and 'ooA
up settlement, and the statistics OF wv
thus far have surpassed all previous
records.
