OFFICIAL INVITATION
TO AMERICANS
HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER
OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG
ADDRESS, ISSUES WELCOME
OF AMERICANS TO WEST
ERN CANADA.

During the course of reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog
ers. the newly appointed Minister OF
the Interior of Canada at banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration The
tone of his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and Tor
ward policy in the matter of immigra-
6on. In part, he said:
1.-THE most important branch per-
haps OF that department (Interior) is
that of immigration.
eff there is anything more than an
other we want here 1t is a greater pop
ulation, and it shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts OF the
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities of this country. We
have received in the past reasonably
large immigration from south of the
international boundary, and in this
connection let me say just a word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst us, and those
whom we hope to welcome in greater
numbers in the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands of them in
our prairie provinces, happy in the en-
Joyment of freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in a
material way towards the development
Of Canada We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most of our emf
grants, and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class of emigrants any
new country has ever known. As
head of the immigration department it
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
30 contribute to their welfare that I'M
der the protecting folds of the Union
Jack they will enjoy as great degree
of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
eminent cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people of the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in it's power to increase the
bonds of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has SO long existed.
Clear, hear)
while we adopt vigorous emil
grafton policy in that country, we will
also adopt the same vigorous policy in
other parts of the world. We will go
to England, Ireland and Scotland, and
every other country irrespective of
race, creed or nationality, where we
can find suitable and desirable emil
grants for this great country. 1 think
much good work can be done in those
countries, and especially perhaps at
the present time in England, Ireland
and Scotland. Now, then, it will be
my duty to stir up that policy in the
most vigorous manner possible"

moment and thought long thoughts.
Then he finished the washing, and
weighed the result in his scales. At
the rate of sixteen dollars to the ounce
the pan had contained seven hundred
and odd dollars. 1t was beyond any
thing that even he had dreamed. His
fondest anticipations had gone no
farther than twenty or thirty thousand
dollars to a claim; but here were
claims worth half million each at the
least, even If they were spotted

he was out and away on a many-days'
tramp over creeks and divides, in
specting the whole neighboring terri
tory. On each creek he was entitled
to locate one claim. but he was
chary in thus surrendering up his
chances. On bunker Creek only
did he stake a claim. Bonanza
Creek he found staked from mouth to
source. while every little draw and
pup and gulch that drained into it was
likewise staked. Little faith was had
in these side-streams. They had been

most popular of these creeks was
Adams The one least fancied was
Eldorado. which flowed into Bonanza,
just above Carmack's Discovery claim.
Even Daylight disliked the looks of FL
dorado; but, still riding his bunch. he
bought a half share in one claim on it
for half a sack of flour. A month
later he paid eight hundred dollars for
the adjoining claim. Three months
later. enlarging this block of property,
he paid forty thousand for a third
claim. and, though it was concealed
in the future, he was destined, not
long after. to pay one hundred and
fifty thousand for a fourth claim on
the creek that had been the least liked
of all the creeks
