Tbu present West«rn Canada was not wluit .1 went to Kee; hut to fi>nn an idya of the fut arc VVesiern C'lnada, and in the face of a liirge auiomit of cirropondencc Icfl for me to di»p<ise of on my arrival here, I Irive only time for a few iieuuirUw. The future Western Canada is this: Kiicb townshiii c:>ntaining one to si.\ ftirnierK, or LorrlH (tlie sur\ ival of the fittest) who have acipiired their lanil from the hoiiioHteader and |h>4K- farmer, who has endured I he niis/ries of Immesteading, iiiul dissappnintiiunts of fi-oNts and liliz- zurds until he can not hol»l ont any long- er iigiiLUst the oiiHlaught of the hoodie. Tlie greaf nolilen.an who mill own these Viist estates anil make the English Lords look like hoa)tt.sleaders is the Hiuiple fanner who is to-day making rejuly to sow IiLh hundre<Ls of acres and hoping for the l«!st ; or one •if the num- ber may Ih! a real estate' man now selling on eoiiniiission The |>o ir -lit lie business man in the now growjiig village will eventually lind that he .l»as oidy a few- customers to h»>k a', his measly little tttock of geneiiil uiereliulHlisi- : and the vilLigc lot, which the Cana<lian Northern skinned him oo, will later i>n he holding out to the sight; of llie Uavell r at the ear window the growing wheat instead of the rta.shing-eyed ImiK'ful youth at his Hlore door. Juist u word liljout the town .lot skin gume. The town lot agmit is found and he accepts your money in a sort of con- . ttcKcendirg attitude, hut iseareful to ad- »i.se you that the hit which yon have i)iud . for may not l>e granted t« you liy this greut philanthrojiic Com^xiny. .Vou ((neslion him further and lind it may Ije Hix months before you know whether you are going to get it or not, but he advises yon to build. The applicitiun ivhich yi*u hign to coax this .^il,!;**) lot away from theui conluintt the agreeuieut tliat in eaxe you are m>t .iwaitled the "prize" your money is a{t{ilied to ilie piircha.se. i.>f Koaie other lot in that town. Uut you iUik the price then of the lot alongsiile your origiiLil inves'ment, anil it is now S2,000, and you must buy it or forfeit money paid on tirst. They have grown to hive you and cannot bear to sec you loHVe : I I'ntil the liuu; comes when the laud is \ hehl by the farming kings, the cities will grow and money be m^ule, but eventually I there will be a cr.-ish- down they'll go and we will hear the Ltioaiis and wailin-js I for < (ntario'.s witer-|)oHers that give briad I to so many millions in factories i.|)eiated by electricity the immense uiiiieriil ' wealth owned now by poor di'spi.seii anil rejeetud Old Ontario, and the land where the moiiied farmer can t grow fas« enough to all orb the life of his felhiw num. Of course in ^Soufherll .\lbeilj«, where . mi.xed farming will predominatv, coikU j tions will be dittereut. Mi.xed farming I reiiuires help nt all times of theyeiu- mrI 1 there will be more people in a iui.\e<i faruiiiig district, and more lui.sinfss, aiwV more pleasure as it is here. The wlveat grower proudly .says "Oh farming is easy here-machiuety for everything,'' and '. there is the point, machinery is Iwisy ' working his fortune or finish, 'llie i individual who will own the lowuKhijiiw ill have ;:a-olii)e doing his w<irk iti.sl«»d of the strong brown arms that go to Make a country. I You bu.siness men here, who pine ifor a i Hourishing buHinesa in one of Westeiai I Canada's new and glowing towns, iwsl .stand liack and look at Fle«herl,uu amd 1 iumgiiie .\rteinesia township .-is a wiheat 1 tiehl with six farmers in pos.sesM><.iu of same, and machinery doing their »:oiik. Recover yourself now, aud liMLseo up. Flesherton may have gone into a tWIiine, but they havcii'i started to ploM^l) in Muusliaw°.s sipiare yet. I Pleasure is the liest wc may expect of life.
