Today the population is less than five hundred thousand, and the de termination oMhe representative men of the Province to devote their best energies to increasing this to a mil lion is a worthy one. There is already a widespread interest in every munic ipality; committees are appointed, whose duties are .*> secure such a thorough knowledge of local condi tions that, whether the applicant for information be a laborer for the farm, a would-be tenant, a probable horae^ ! steader, the buyer of a small improved | iarm or the purchaser of a large tract j for colonizing farmers, the informa tion is at hand. free. The advantages that Manitoba pos sesses are many, and with the ex I ploitation that will be given them by the birth of this new acquisition to the settlement and immigration prop aganda that is being carried on by the Dominion Government, there is no doubt that the establishment of the bureau will very soon bring about the results looked for. Manitoba is prac tically the gateway of the great grain belt of the West. Its farm lands have demonstrated time and again that they have a yielding value that practically makes them worth over one hundred dollars per acre. Added to the yielding value of the land, there is an increased value on account of its nearness to markets, and the mat ; ter of freight rates is carefully con sidered by the cautious buyer. But the information more valuable to the incoming settler is that it still has an immense amount of vacant fertile land open for homesteads. This dispels the idea that free homesteads in Manitoba I are about exhausted. In addition to ! this, the territory recently added to "HI up a UUIIif* steading area which when filled should fully satisfy the “Million for Manitoba League.” Within the old boundaries there is an area of 47.360, 000 acres, less than six million acres of the 16*4 mfllicn acres occupied be ing under cultivation. At present there are over 20 million acres of available land capable of being put under the plough. If in every one of the 193.000 vacant Quarter sections of the Prov ince an average family of four persons were placed, there would be added a rural population of nearly 800,000. So there is room for additional hundreds of thousands on the forms of Mani toba. without any possibility of con gestion. The population per mile in Iowa is 39.4. in Minnesota it is 23.5. That in Manitoba is only 7.1. A glance at the map. copies of which will be forwarded upon application to any Canadian Government Agent, shows that Manitoba is wonderfully well supplied with railways. There are but few farms that are mere than ten or twelve miles from a railway line: elevators are convenient, and markets are always good. The grow ing of grain, while a big feature in the inducements held out, is well re enforced by the great possibilities that . exist in all portions of the Province, ‘ for the raising of stock, for dairying, for hogs, and for a successful class of mixed farming, and what gives addi tional interest is the fact that there is so much laud in the Province open ; for free homesteading that improved j farms in almost all of the 98 munici palities can be purchased at very low , figures. Many of the owners of these have made sufficient upon which to re | tire and are becoming residents of the cities. In addition to the export mar ket for the produce of the farm, Man itoba has a number of large cities and towns providing a splendid local mar ket. Truck and garden fanning are ; highly profitable branches. Winnipeg is a city bordering on 200.000. Bran don is a splendid centre. Portage la Prairie is the huh of an excellent dis trict, and Torkton. Minnedosa. Dau phin, Morden, Manitou and a dozen other towns are important help as con sumers.
