Fairmont to attend the Southern Com.
mercial Congress which will hold It's
third annual meeting in Atlanta March
IS 8. 10. The programme that will be
discussed will be along the lines OF
constructive business endeavor and in
this the coming convention will be the
most important meeting ever held In

gress will be unique.
The object is to make the worlds
estimate Of the South correct and to
sur the South itself to clear under.

inspirational and educational in ali
lines of constructive effort. 1t is to

CHICAGO. Feb. 22.-The emlgra.

the United States to. the western.prov.
inces OF Canada, which was predicted
by J. B. Dennis, manager OF the land
irrigation and timber Interests Of the
Canadian Pacific Railway of western
Canada, from reports to him when in
Chicago. from agents OF the company,
will exceed the record OF any previous
year. Even when compared with, the
movements Of the last two or three
years from the United States to west.
ern Canada" he said, "the indications
are that there will be very marked
movement OF people. The prospects
for crops In the west are very bright,
owing TO the fact that the late fall en-.
abled farmers to get large amount
of land ready for spring crops. In
southern Alberta the fall conditions
and the unusual snow fall during the
winter practically assure a good crop
OF winter wheat"
Mr.. Dennis had Just returned from
Great Britain and Europe where he
spent two months arranging for the
extension Of the organization dealing
with immigration from England and
the Continent to western Canada. He
said that the increased movement OF
homeseekers from both Great Britain
and northern Europe this year, will be
very large. Over 1000 applications
were received in Great Britain for. the
100 farms which were prepared last
year to be settled this spring under

result OF this demand In Great Britain

made farms for settlement next year.
On each the company will erect a
house, a barn and fences, provide a
well and put so acres in crop. This
policy was adopted to attract the ten.
ant farmer class OF Great Britain, and
those farms are available only for
farmers from Great Britain.
Regarding reciprocity between Can.
ada and the United States Mr.. Dennis
declined to express any opinion, say.
Ing that of coure this was more or less
OF political question, but he volun.

OF the treaty by Canada and the Uni.

which is now generally recognized
that the only large area Of land avail.
