CANADA'S CENSUS
A THiRTY.TWo PER CENT IN.
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS.

That Canada has come rapidly to
the front In the past ten years is am.
ply shown in the results Of the census
recently made public. The population
Of the Dominion Is now placed at
7.0S1,S69, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring II up to
~ millions as compared with 5.371.-
315 in 1901. Though these figures are
large. they do not present a total as
large as was expected but they do
show q greater increase OF percentage
In population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
by the Republic was 249t; the per-
centage Of increase In Canada for the
decade is 329o. Thus 1t will be seen
that the provinces west OF the lakes.
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping Of grain and the Valleys OF
British Columbia capable Of producing
fruit with which to supply its neigh.
boring provinces east Of the noun
tains. have attracted numbers. which
has exceeded the most optimistic Of
the expectations Of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies Of the ten years
ago there was but spare scattering
of people; but today. no matter In
which way you go, take any direction.
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class Of people in good sized set
Elements with plenty Of room for FIVE
or six times as many more. The pop.
ulation Of Alberta Is set down at 372,.
919, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453.5OS as compared

bers. The work through 1t has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; its cities, Winnipeg

ed. The population 10 scarcely dis.
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development Of the west will
enrich the last. This Is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but a
beginning. The next decade will
show q far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada Is bidding wei.
come the progressive and industrious
citizen. The invitation is standing
one. At the forthcoming land exposi.
ton in Chicago. Canada will have one
OF the best exhibits OF farm products
that has ever been made and It will
be well worth while inspecting 1t and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.
