Colonization. and Development Department

e

The work of this department is being rapidly extended throughout '
Western Canada to be of the best possible service to the pnblic, and through
its special representatives in the East, in Great Britain. Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, and other European ceuntries, it will be able to bring to Canada
large numbers of immigrants, male and female, who in a short time should
become permanent and desirable settlers. The great obstacle in the past
has been the uncertainty of immediate employment for the new arrival
and farmers can agaist colonization work by employing their help through
this channel, and if possible BY THE YEAR. The work is done without
charge and no advances are required for transportation or for any
similar purpose. All information given is used for the purpose of
informing the settler requiring work only, ;

Beer Clubs to Close

February 1 has been generally
accepted as the dste when beer
clubs will definitely go out of
business. The new government
regulations are very drastic and
are expected to clean up the
liquor troubles to a large degree.
These will come into effect Ieb-
ruary 1, when the lid will be put
on in earnest, Only bona fide
clubs will be permitted to carry
liquor and these will be under
the strictest supervision, with
the locker.system in force, -

That the United States gov-
ernment. commission which re-

ing the cost of grain production

States cannot compete with Can-
ada in this respect, is the opinion
of L. H. Boyd, chairman of the
Board .of Grain Commissioners,
who is very optimistic about

"| Canada’s future grain trade. ;
