being an estimate of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption of coal will naturally in
crease.
The agricultural districts Of Canada
have now become SO well known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area Of splendid land is still SO great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
1t may be asked what is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions of acres of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
of wheat to the acre; or, If in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
as a hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of fax or bar
ley, there is ample inducement to at
tract these hundreds of thousands who
are filling the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds Of
thousands who will follow. There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
of the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knOwl-
edge that the settler is more than a
unit in the upbuilding, in the making
of country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations of
the world. There Is no desire on the
part Of the writer to dwell upon the
success that has followed the Ameri-
can settler in the Provinces of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the coast Province of British Column
bia, or to speak of the thousands of in
dividuals whose hundreds of dollars
have made them thousands, but atten-
ton must be paid to the fact that these
people have done we'll. They are fol-
lowed by their families and their
friends, who also are doing well.
Where, few years ago, seemingly
only months ago, there was nothing
but the open prairie, or il we speak OF
the more central portions Of these
provinces, the park districts, there are
today well titled and cultivated farms,
large farms, too, and the herds of cat
tie. Cities and towns are the result OF
