FUTURE OF THE CHEAT WEST

Filling Op Rapidly With Immigrants
and ROQM Fen Many More.
A despatch from Winnipeg, deal -
jug with the future of the West, con-
tains this prophesy;
Immigration into Western Canada,
has advanced by leaps and bounds.
In 1902, 67,370 persons carie into the
Western provinces from all sources.
Tho next year 123,364 came, and in
1907 252,038 immigrants betook them-
selves from other countries ,of the
earth to the Canadian Northwest, with
•the avowed intention of taking up
their residence here. Taking the
average of increase in the population
of the three provinces, from neanigro.
tion end all other sources, for the per-
iod of Ave years just preceding this
year of 1908, as a wo4ting basis, the
eresultant figitree.. ,sbow that in ten
years in 1918, the same country that
now las less than two ntillions of
poputation will have more than 30,-
000,000 people by .that time; figuring
_froui the average mcrease in land un -
cultivation of the pasteseven years,
there will be as much as 50,000,000
acres cultivated of that great hioek of
land which extends for 1,000 Miles
east and west between the Rocky
Mountains and the Great Lakes, and
north 400 miles from the United States
boundary.
, Tho present grain crop front the
land already under cultivation, gives
a reasonable accurate line of expec-
tations from the crop of that time
when the land under eultivation shall
increased to 50,000,000 acres, or
less than one-third of the available
farming laud of this country, and the
needs of ,the farmers in the way of
tools and labor can also be arrived at
with accuracy Fifteen bushels of
wheat to the acre is considerably less.
than the average cm) produced- by
the rich, prairie soil of this Western
Canadian country, and oath and bar-
ley produce enormous • weeps, with
flax, reliable, reasonably. productive.
Figured upon the basis of wheat
alone the product of 50,000,000 acres
of land would be the vast amount of
750,000,000 .bushels of wheat. To hex -
vest this &op, absolutely certain to
be raised on • the wheat fields of
Westhrn Canada within the next
twenty years at the outside, will take
na less than 650,000 harvest hands,
whose pay for the gathering of one
crop will count up the tidy sum of
$31,000,000; 312,000 self -binding ma-
chines and 36,000 threshing separators,
with tbe. saine number of engines,
will be required to deliver the 'crop
to elevators, nearly all of which roust
be built for the recnption of this fu-
ture wheat crop of Western Canada.

A STORY OF STEEL
Toronto Has the Talleitt and Largest
Structure in British Empire.
Toronto has the honor of having
the tallest structure - the Traders'
Bank building -in the British Monks.
In the new building of the Robert
Simpson Co. fresh honors come to
Toronto, for this structure is the larg-
est block of steel building conatrue-
tion in the British Empire.
Six of the seven floors ere steel, re-
presenting in all 3,000 tons of manu-
factured steel -at least twice as much
as fa in the Traders' Bank building.
It is interesting to know that every-
one ot the steel beams and posts will
ha "wrapped" (cased) in concrete and
to learn the reason why„
Concrete is a poor conductor of heat.
If at any time a Are 'should occur,
-the- concrete will keep the beat' from
th.• steel and thus prevent its ex-
Panding, and twisting or wrecking the
building.
Bat this is only one of the several
means the Robert Simpson Co. are
taking to make their new store abso-
lutely fire -proof. .Vin -e -..n completed it
will be in this respect as perfeot as
human ingenuity,and naeeha,nical skill
• ean make it; there will be no struc-
time in New York or elsewhere better
ie tire -proof qualities. In addition, for
this purpose, the Robert Simpson Co,
• will have no "light well" in thea new
store.
The company has sacrificed 2,50
square feet of space in order to start
the movement towards widening
Queen street. Their giving up the
light well is -another sacrifice in the
interest of the public, There is noth-
ing so precious in a store as floods
of sunlight. But the, Robert Simpson
Co, are Magnanimous enough to sac-
• rifle° beauty to public safety. For the
light well would be a Boum of 'dan-
ger in two respects. •
If a Are broke out in the store it
would cause a draft which would aid
the conflagration -- and thus a small
fire might beteme a large one. Fur-
ther, suppose an insignificant fire co-
curred in one part of the building,the
light Well would cause the smoke to
be distributed to all parts of the store,
• and the result would be te panic, per-
haps ending in a loss of life. The do-
ing away with the light well will aid
in making the new. Simpson store fie -
proof. • '
How many of the. hundreds of peo-
ple who are daily to be seen watching
this magnificent steel structure grow
know that when completed it will:he
the largest block of steel in any build-
ing Of the British Empire and also that
it will be the most perfect in fire-
proof qualities.

The Future of Canada.
In his Address at the amulet dinner
of the Canada Club at New York,
Chief ',Thence Langley of Nova Scotia
expressed the view that Canada was
not destined to retnaln a portion of the
British Empire. He also flung defi-
ance at the trotted States. Ms clos-.
ing sentences, which did not get in
the press reports, were as follows:
"Aggression from our big neighbor,
I dismiss as unworthy of considera-
tion, but if, by any such mischance,
power became vested in the United
States in any body of men so as to
attempt to infringe Canada's rights
and liberties, 1 can, only say that there
ie SOMe good Stuff On the other side
of the line, and when Canada has' 15,-
000,000 people she will not be averse
te eindlorigitig the issue with all the
spirit of a proud and independent
race."
