THE BAROMETER OF THE POST
OFFICE, THE READING Of
WHICH SHOWS WESTERN
CANADA'S GROWTH.

Several of Western Canada news
papers coming to hand during the
last part Of the year 1912 contained
items of news such as the following.
speaking of the Christmas work in
the postofice:
"Other years have been heavy and
the employees have had plenty of op-
portunity OF learning what it was to
work overtime. but the past has had
nothing equal to the present. Forty
extra men have been employed Tin
Winnipeg). and mail trains have been
run special. The increase in the mail
this year has been due to the enor-
nous influx Of people into Western
Canada during the season. and also
the general prosperity which the
prairie provinces have enjoyed. To
the latter cause has been due the
heavy increase in the number of par
cells which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada"
The above extract taken from q
Winnipeg paper gives a fair idea of
the great work that the Canadian
postofices have had all through the
western prairies. During the past
year hundreds Of new postofices
established, many of them at remote
points from the railway, but all forced
upon the country on account of the
new settlements that have taken
place during the year. 1t is said Of
the Canadian government that in its
immigration and settlement policy
there is nothing left undone to take
care Of the people and their welfare.
whether it be In the new town along
q new line Of railway or in the re-
hottest hamlet. This solicitude and
care are not confined to the postof-
flee, but with every branch that has
to do with organizing new districts.
Bridges have been built, roads con-
structed, the district policed, and a
dozen other things have to be done
and are done. Is 1t any wonder that
with the splendid land, the high
yielding land, the land that is free to
the homesteader or open to purchase
at reasonable prices from the railway
and land companies, that the Cana
dian immigration records for 1912
will show arrivals Of upwards of
400. 000, one-half Of this being from the
United States. The new literature
being sent out by the immigration
branch at Ottawa, and its agencies
throughout the United States deals
with many Of the new and interesting
features that will mark the work Of
that branch fQr the year 1913.-Ad-
