"WHY | EMIGRATED"
THE NOTES OF A PROMINENT
JOURNALIST WHO MADE A
TRIP THROUGH WESTERN
CANADA. r

A prominent journalist from Chi
cago, some time ago, made a journey
through Canada obtaining thorough
knowledge of the land and people and
OF the "boundless possibilities" that
Canada, the virgin land, affords. In
an American Sunday newspaper he
published after his return the interest
ing account which we print as fol-
lows. He writes:
Why did you emigrate from the
United States?" l asked a farmer In
Western Canada.
Il believe that for poor man West
ern Canada is the most favorable
land" was the reply, "and have now
found that it is the Paradise Of the
Poor"
The farmer, a pioneer of the west,
had five years earlier left Iowa for
Canada to secure a new home there.
After traversing the country for some
time, he started his home on the open
prairie and with steady industry de-
voted himself to the working of the
virgin soil Now he is the well-to-do
owner of that endless sea of waving
wheat ears that goes on for miles be-
fore my eyes. His strong, sunburned
figure finds the best background IIrhis
farm itself, which is the outcome Of
his ceaseless activity-a pretty two
stored dwelling house, a large clean
stable, In the midst of a hamlet Of
barns, sheds and outbuildings, use
full garden overflowing with products;
horses, cattle, sheep and swine on the
rich pastures, and around to the hori-
zon wheat, golden wheat.

/ might farm as could, more than the
living for myself and family, could
not attain. Sometimes the harvest
turned out good, sometimes bad, but
the grand total was bitter combat to
keep want from the door. 1t was i'm.
possible to lay by for bad times and
in spite Of all trouble and work an old
age free of care was not to be
thought Of. My death would have
brought bitter poverty to my wife and
children.
Il decided to breakup and go to
Canada. where at least l could fight
out the struggle for existence on my
own land. l started out with mule
team, all my earthly possessions were
in the prairie-schooner with my wife
and children. Then l took up a home

own. The whole property is free OF
debt. do not owe cent to anyone.
l bought my land for $3.50 per acre,
now l would not give it up for $50"
do you mean to say that you paid
for the whole land in the five years?''
interrupted.
"In much shorter time" replied
the farmer. "The land paid for itself
some already by the first harvest, and
at longest in 8 years each field had
brought in it's purchase price. If you
doubt that land in Western Canada
pays for itself within 8 years you can
easily convince yourself of the truth
of my assertion. Let us assume that

Not until after Yorktown and the adoption Of the

From the Pail Mall Gazette
A boys view of policemen is thus
oiiaintly expressed in the examination
papers of the Albert street school, Bull
well, Nottingham:
lone of our well known men in the
large towns is the policeman; he is very
large man, and looks very smart in his
suit of blue.
s1f he sees a boy who ought to be at
school, he tries to catch him and take him
to school, where he is punished.
Ills duties are many AT night he
walks quietly down the streets in case
there are any robbers. He carries
a lamp about with him to see where the
robber escapes. If the robber hides, ne
will be traced. The policeman carries a
staff a whistle, and some handouts in
case he needs them.
