Larry:

up Hans. He had promised Gray to go
on the stage. but did not answer Gray's

$4,000 IN ONE YEAR:
THE iMMioKATioN TO jsANADA
suRPAseEs ALL REooRD.

The returns recently issued By the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards Of $4,000 persons ar
rived In Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton Of becoming settlers In that coun-
try. OF this number about 10000
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. It viii thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States IL being splendidly supplement-
Cd by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure Of
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and max
grown on the rich prairie Of Western
Canada 10 constantly attracting more
and more. and year by year the tide
Of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there II NO ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large az It
is but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found UMPIRE

homesteads of 160 acres each, rail-
ways have been projecting laterals

date the newcomer. A recent dis

that the vanguard of the 1911 army
