Western Canada To-Day the Country of Oppor
tunity for Millions
He would have been called a dream
er of Die most Imaginative class who,
thirty-five years ago,? when the North
west country becamo a possession of
Canada, prophesied tho present pros
perity In the lapse of so short a period
of time. Three transcontinental rail
ways havo been financed through on
tho ample asauranco there is business
In the west to warrant their construc
tion, nnd resources to liquidate tho
consequent Indebtedness.
Manitoba In the eastern portion of
tho country was created a provlnco a
year after tho purchaso from the Hud
eon Bay Company in 1870.' In 1882,
tho western country was tapped by
tho extended main lino of tho C. P. It.
That year also territorial government
waB established, the remaining out
lying country being converted Into
four territories Alberta, Asslniboia,
Saskatchewan and Athabasca with a
central government for all at Iteginn.
Tho fow thousand people of those
days havo grown into tho half million
of to-day.

donees of advancement. Tho first
uusnei or wneat was shipped In 1882,
In fact tho first Bhlpment from Mani
toba, merely as a sample, was made
in 1877. In 1904 there wero under all
crops, excepting hay, 1,576,000 acres
In the western provinces, producing
17,250,350 bushels ot wheat, 18,250,040
bushels of oats, and 2,350,420 buBhels
of barley, realizing a total of about
$18,GOO,000 for tho farmers.
In Manitoba there were grown in
1904 41.C00.0OO bushels of wheat and
other farm products In proportion.
The first mile of railway was built In
tho country In 1S80. and to-day thero
are over 0,000 miles of road in opera
tion, and further extensions aro going
ahead as fast as men and money can
build them. Thero aro two trunk
lines In tho country, tho C. P. It. and
tho Canadian Northern, with tho
Grand Trunk commencing Its trans
continental line. In addition to these
trunk Hues, all systems aro extending
branches to all sections where thero
are settlements to patronize them.
Tho grain elevator development Is
another assurance of the wonderful
expansion of tho country, the one
fourth of tho whole area, or about 95,
000,000 acres of the country traversed
by railways being now fairly supplied
by elevators. In all thero aro 1.015
of them In tho country with a combin
ed capacity of 27,083,000 bushels and
erected at a cost of over $55,000,000.
' In addition to these, elevators at the
head of tho lakes have storage capac
ity of 18,200,000. Fourteen years ago
the entire storage capacity of tho
elevators was 7.G28.000 bushels, to-day
it Is 41,000.000 nnd increasing yearly
from five to ten million bushels.
What the settlement of tho country
will bo In tho next ten years may
well be imagined from tho fact that
last year tho Immigration was over
133.00U souls.
There are those who believe tho
grain-producing nrea of tho country
must b'e limited, but results tell a

different story. In the northern Peace
River country, 900 miles north of the
International boundary, wheat Is
grown every year 62 to 65 lbs. to the
bushel, from 20 to 30 bushels to tho
acre, and matures In 107 days from
sowing. The length of day and there
fore the greater amount of summer
heat in tho 24 hours fully compensate
for tho disadvantages of latitude. As
thero are already thrifty settlements,
with their grist mills, large fields of

Business in the Home.
The adoption of business principles
In tho home is not only one of the
ways to obtain happiness, it is the only
way, says Good Housekeeping. Wo are
speaking now of the average house
hold composed of an average man and
an average woman. And here Is the
first step toward happiness: First, the
husband must have the absolute right
to refuse money to the wife; second,
the wife must have the absolute right
to demand money from the husband.
It doesn't look like affection, It doesn't
seem connubial. But analyze it.

and profitable settlement.
Tho whole country embraces an
area of over 385,000,000 acres and de
ducting water and broken land thore
1b plenty of wheat growing territory
to produco twenty times over the
requirements of Great Britain.
As wheat can bo grown at $7.60 per
acre with wages to the men doing
their own work besides, and as year
In nnd year out tho yield and price
are twenty bushels at CO cents, the
profits aro $4.G0 per acre.
As live stock doubles every three
years and grows like wheat while the
farmer Is sleeping, wo expect that this
will nlwnys bo one of tho leading feat
ures of tho agricultural Industry. As
tho Pacific coast or warm winds molt

As $2,835,516 worth of llvo stock

Dairying is tho third leading busi
ness of the Northwest farmer, and'
may, llko tho others bo developed
while tho farmer Is sleeping. It Is
found that on account of tho cost of
farm help, and to avert the expense of
erecting sultablo buildings for tho
purpose, the co-operative system Is
decidedly tho best. Under it the en
tire management is In tho hands of
tho government under expert opera
tives, though control of sales, etc.,
rests with the patrons. Tho farmers
simply deliver their milk or cream,
usually tho latter, nt tho dairies, re
ceive monthly advances, and bal
ances of proceeds of sales at the closo
of the year.
The schools are free and non-denominational
national. Thore is no tax for
attendance, the government defrays
tho greater part of the cost of sup
port ot a highly certificated staff of
teachers. There are schools in all
country districts where there aro a
dozen pupils to attend them and the
tax is rarely more than $4 a year on
every quarter section. As each prov
ince Alberta and Saskatchewan un
der tho new provincial autonomy will
receive at tho start from tho Federal
government $1,100,000 a year, thero
will bo. but very inconsiderable taxa

prairie countries. In Western Canada,
however, thero are but fow districts

As shown above the railways are

where free Jand is ofTered to all re

Even In some of tho older parts there
is yet plenty of free land, Manitoba
having 1,500,000 acres of it.

and the next ten years will see a large

"My difficulties taught me some

to gfltrid ot tho difficulty is tho puzzllugr

Good digestion calls for strong diges

lupply ot good rich blood. For this
reason Mr. Enyssou took Dr. Williams'
Fink Pills for tho euro of Indigestion.
" They havo been my best doctor," he
says. " I was suffering from dyspopsln.

boxos of Dr. Williams' Pink Pllb), nbont
tho morits of which I learned from

thoso troubles, nudamnblongaiu to tako

A vory simple story, bnt if it bad not
boon for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it
might havo been n trnglo ono. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals botween nionls with piiln, and
prevents sleep nt night, thero cortaiuly
cannot bo muoh plcosuro in living. A

"My friend, Mrs. , of Vicks-
burg (my former home) had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medlslnes had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,,
some months ago, I persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. 8he was In do
spalr, and consented. She stuck to lb
until It restored her health so com
pletely that she is now the most enthu
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that I ever
know. Sho eats It with cream or dry,
Just as It comes from tho package
keeps It In her room and eats It when
ever sho feels like It.
"I began eating Grape-Nuts food,,
myself, when my baby was two
months old, and I don't know what I
should havo done without It. My ap
petite was gone, I was weak and nerv
ous and afforded but very little nour
ishment for the child. Tho Grape-Nuts
food, of which I soon grew very fond,
speedily set all this right again, and
the baby grew healthful, rosy and
boautliul as a mother could wish. Ho.
Is two years old now and eats Grape
Nuts food himself. I wish every tired
young mother knew ot the good that
Grape-Nuts would do her."
