I p to the time of writing our population must Lime increased from this cause by at a thousand. We Aie pleased to know that the majority o Tho new Comers Are Farmer. For this Elas Sci i particularly with a Little Means Theio is de room. And perhaps never since the eyes of the emigrating world were first turned Iii the direction of Manitoba and the c Nemih wet was tie time Moro for it is sort of immigration f Rue there Are not now those extensive areas of Tove in Merit lands within easy distance of the Metropolis of the country open to fro o Honie Ilad entry that there Wero in earlier time but those who Are determined upon.

A few years will bring these men their to it is to be hoped that the immigration of tie in Trio present Ami All future year be mainly up of such peo ple. The immigration of past years has possessed far too Little of Tho agricultural and far too much of the would be genteel Timo and again have we warned All those in search of a soft Job 1 against coming to Manitoba. It is doubtful whether there is a less promising Field for such peo ple than this province. Our population is already surcharged with Talent of that sort hence possessors of that commodity coming hither Are bringing their wares to a glutted Market. As Well As for agriculturalists of whom there cannot be too Many there arc legitimate openings on every hand for capitalists and men of muscle willing to apply it wherever it May be in whether in the Field backyard sewer or on the railway find employment in considerable numbers at fair wages.
