$4,000 AMERICANS Col
TO CANADA IN 1911.
The YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In report OF the House Committee
Washington) appears the following:
Canada offers three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated. with six months leave
or absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All OF which Is true and Il Is now
the part of the careful reader TO con-
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, In addition to
the above. are attractive features.
The evidence OF these is found In the
letters contributed by some OF the
settlers. For instance: A former MIN.
nesotan. writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta. speaks OF that district.
but what he says. applies generally to
all OF Southern Alberta. He says:
i have seen six crops. four OF them
were first class, one OF them a very
good crop. and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last If
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches OF moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and IN 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as ! have seen in this coun-
try and We had about twelve inches Of
moisture. SO that am thoroughly con-
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
OF moisture. and with the natural In
crease Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one OF
the very best mixed farming districts
IN the world. We have good soil, good
water, and a good climate. and alto
gether Just as desirable country to
live in as Dakota. Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds OF letters are on flle from
former American settlers. which give
good reasons why the Western Can.
ada lands are being settled SO rapidly.
Full particulars can be had OF any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

without any trouble. and then the
barn was visited First the flock OF
chickens was shared. and then the
bales of hay, grain and farming nipple
ments. Two lumber wagons were
easy 10 divide, but the one surrey
was n problem.
Ponder solved this puzzle by hav-
ing the wagon pulled out 10 a vacant
lot and burned, so that neither would
have the vehicle Then the one horse
owned by the couple was turned loose
and allowed to wander away Mrs.
Ponder became a little angercd at this
and demanded how her erstwhile hus-
band was going TO share the real es-
tate and the property. The land was
easy 10 divide. Ponder said, and he
had n scheme that would make equal
the sharing Of the house and barn.
Going 10 IN clubhouse he got 4 lons
cross cut saw and climbing TO tho
roof of the dwelling house measured
the roof tree. and then finding the cX-
act center OF the building started To
saw through the shingles. Mrs. Rom
der began screaming for help.
The man had cut his way through
two Of the raftcrs before the police ar
rived and he was forced to stop his
