Canadian immigration swells as wheat lands draw settlers
The Chicago Record-Herald notes Canada welcomed 40 672 immigrants in four months, nearly twice last year and thrice 1901, driven by Northwest wheat lands. Over a third came from Great Britain, with 138 700 settlers from the United States and 10 445 from Continental Europe. The U S remains the larger source of migrants, but Canada gains in proportion as it builds a major grain competitor. Government agents offer illustrated materials and low rates to settle Western Canada, with E T Holmes of 315 Jackson Street, St Paul, Minnesota listed as contact.
