depends upon transpor. facilities IN

dents TO their homes in Canada will be-
further expedited as soon as the advent

According TO OFFICIAL figures the total
number of Americans that have taken
up residence in the Province of Alberta
Canada, since 1905. including five
months Of the fiscal year 1852,
reaches 275.093.
In 1905 the Province of Alberta was

toba. Saskatchewan and Alberta Sas-
katchewan ranks second. with 226.330

only $3.50. The largest immigration
into Alberta from the United States
came in l90s-l0, and numbered 34.563.
the smallest in 1888, numbered 5,613.
The total population Of Alberta in
1916 was given officially rs 4s6,525.
The British immigration during the
thirteen years since the province was
organized was 73.0S2, and other than
British 40,2s2, making a total Of Il3,a6i
as compared with 275,093 immigrants of
American nationality, Tho predor1i-

THE statement that 100000 OF the

roneous." Mr.. Bailey said upon his re-
