Show THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS P0B WESTERS CAKADA. "There will be thousands of Americans Amer-icans coming up here in the spring," was the remark made by a farmer from the vicinity of Langdon, North Dakota, when he arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the capital of Western Canada, Can-ada, a few days since.' He was the advance ad-vance guard of a large body who are following him, and he has already in- vested in several farming sections for himself and others and purposes to take up his permanent abode in this country. He went on to say: "Hundreds "Hun-dreds are coming from "my district alone. I know this to be a fact for many of them are neighbors of mine. The chief topic of conversation with the farmers is the coming immigra- tion in the spring. "The impression general in the part of Dakota where I live that farmers can get from 10 to 15 cents more a bushel for wheat on the American side of the line than on the Canadian has not prevented people from turning their eyes to Canada as a. place to live in. They know they can get land in this country which fs every bit as fertile as that in Dakota at about one-quarter one-quarter the price. It is safe to say that the exodus from Dakota into Canada this year will exceed the expectations of all Canadians."
