SHOWS FALLING OFF

MONTREAL. Dec 13.-It is esti-
mated that $4,000 settlers from the

settled in Western Canada

Canadian Pacific alone carried near
~ 10000 OF these settlers into the
Dominion the number is probably far

will be known when the government

The governors of eight OF these states
who were passing through ST. Paul,
Mimi. on that day, the keynote OF
the speeches was -deploring OF the
attitude OF the United States govern
nent in the withdrawal OF public
lands.
Louis W. Hill, of the ST. Paul Asso-
Ciation OF Commerce made the prin-
'clpai speech OF the evening. and de
clared that 134.s01, 449 acres OF land
had been withdrawn from settlement
in the northwestern states by the fed
eral authorities.
Settlers in these states, said Mr..
Hill ARE discouraged by the attitude
CT the government; and every colon
list the American west loses, Canada
gains. The real reason OF the unpre-
cedented emigration 10 Canada is the
uncertainty OF the governments pol
icy and the placing OF the United
States seal on the best land in the
west
In Idaho alone. 55 per cent OF the
area OF the state has been withdrawn
from settlement. What would the
citizens Of New York or Illinois say
II SO per cent 81 the area OF their
states were guarded with a govern
ment decree and the people told they
were not wanted?
1T is common knowledge In the
west that representatives OF the Can
aGian government attend all land
drawings TO take care OF the disap-
rointed colonists and guide them
across the border from the flag or
Washington and Lincoln 10 the flag
OF King George"
Canadian Pacific officials say that
the ebb OF the immigration tide is far
later this year than usual. Immi-
grants from the eastern states, as
well as from the western, and hun
dreds from Great Britain and Europe
are still pouring into the country.
Yesterday alone over 200 OF these
new settlers passed through Windsor
station OF the G. p. II. TO take up
new homes in the Canadian west.

would be no means Of escape except
through the windows. II is up to the
