CANADA'S CENSUS
y THlRTY-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
7,081 1868, which with outlying points
ito be heard from, may bring it up to
TX millions as compared with 5,371,-
3l5 IN 1901. Though these figures are
large, they do not present a total as
large as was expected but they do
show a greater increase Of percentage
In population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was 24%; the per-
'centage Of increase in Canada for the
decade is 32%. Thus It 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
uiation of Alberta is set down at 372,-
S1S. as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared
with 91,270 In 1901; Manitobas 49,
OBJ compares well with its 255.211 In
1901; and SO does that Of British Co
lumbia-362,7 68 as against 178,657 in
1901; but in a territory as large az
this population Of 1,643,000 is little
more than discernible in point Of num-
bers. The work through it has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; its cities, Winnipeg
with 1S5, 600; Vancouver with upwards
OF 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed |
monitor, Regina, Saskatoon; Leth.
bridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw.
splendid cities-none better any
where; well maintained and equipped. |
These have come with existence and |
been built as they have been built by
reason Of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is 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 far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding well
come the progressive and Industrious
citizen. The invitation is a 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.

SMALL BLAZE IN
CARNIVAL CAMP

Last night, in the midst of the hui
1abaloo of the carnival hooters and
the noise of the crowd, the call OF
"Fire!" was heard and a flame shot
skyward in the midst of the small
tents and booths next to the Houston
& Texas Central railroad. One of the
carnival attaches with his clothes on
fire ran into the crowd. He was quick
lily stopped and the fire smothered with
coats. His injuries were slight.
One of the living" tents had caught
fire from a gasoline stove and was
burned TO the ground in less time
than it takes to tell it, Several boxes
of clothing and other belongings were
dragged out, and, in addition to the
tent, the only loss was gasoline
stove and some cooking utensils.
The fire company responded prompt
ly, but after the fire was extinguished.
