Publisher and Proprietor: | YOUNG CANADA'S OPPORTUNITY. Within. the past fifty years thousand = of ambitions" bright young Canadians have crossed over the line 'into the United States in search of wider 'oppor ~ tunities and more rapid advance: "ment than seemed to offer in the homeland. - And 'many of these meh are now occupying command- ing positions in the great Republic. A change however is coming, has in fact already come; and the tide has already turned. Within the past six years' more than © two hundred and' 'thirty thousand Americans have come into Canada, bringing with them, in cash and settlers' effects, eighty millions of + dollars. In the year 1006 alone Canada received sixty-four thous- and immigrants from the United States. These incomers have had their eyes opened to the possibili- ties now apparent in this country.
