PREPARING FOR
NEW SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the ac-
commodation of the largely increas-
ing number of settlers coming in TO
occupy the agricultural districts Of
the three prairie provinces. There
were those connected with the work
of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring prophesied that
there would be as many as 10000
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year,
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures Of
1872, 900 could be increased. Recent
computation made by the officials Of
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States will be reached. AS great an
increase will be shown in the figures
of those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits of the years work in Canadian
immigration will give upward Of a
total of 100000 souls
But this is not to be wondered at
when it is realized what is Offering in
the three prairie provinces and also
in the coast province of British Co
lumbia, which is also bidding strong
ly and successfully, too for a certain
class of settler, the settler who
wishes to go into mixed farming or
fruit raising. When the central por-
ton of this province is opened up by
the railway now being constructed
there will be large areas Of splendid
land available for the settler.
Reference has frequently been made
of late by those interested in develop
ing the American west to the large
numbers who are going to Canada,
high officials in some Of the railways
being amongst the number to give
voice to the fact. The more these
facts become known the more will
people seek the reasons and these
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say of It. What the
farmer thinks of it and what his
friends say of it. James A. Flaherty,
supreme knight of the Knights Of Co.
lumbus, was in western Canada a
| short time ago. He says:
"If I were young man I would
sell out my interests in less than two
months and come right to the Cana
/ dian Northwest, where so many op
/ portunities abound "-Advertis

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cutlcura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
