WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
number of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that 1t does, would not be so surprised
were they to accompany one of the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices of the Govern
ment from several of the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free homesteads, which, as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in the
U. S. senate the other day, comprises
100 acres of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions. Then watch the results,
whether it be on this free homestead
of 100 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to 500. per acre,
fully as good as the 500. and $3.50.
per acre land of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part of the mem
bers of the U. s. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.
Canadian laws and Canadian lands al
though the reasonable desire is shown
in their remarks, that they pass legis-
lation, (Which is very praiseworthy)
that will make the land laws of the
United States much easier
1t is the success of the American
settler in Canada that attracts others,
and when experiences such as the fol-
lowing are related to the friend back
home" is it any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and determine
ton arrived at, to participate in the
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies 1t.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, Mimi, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the
United States says: 1--WE have had no
failures of crops during our nine years
in Canada. | threshed 1908 bushels Of
wheat and 1883 bushels of oats in 1911,
off my 100 acres. This is beautiful
country. l keep six good work horses
and milk seven cows, getting good
prices for butter and eggs. We get
our coal for $500 per ton at the mine,

about one and half miles from fine

much milder here than in Minnesota
where lived for 81 years. Our well
is 35 feet deep and we have fine wa
ter. Wild land is selling for SIS
to $25. per acre. Improved farms are
much higher. / am well satisfied with
the country, and would not sell unless
l got big price, as We have all done
well here"
Good reasons to account for the
number going to Canada.
