The country north of the international boundary up to the fiftysixth parallel of north latitude and east of the Rocky Mountains. to and including the province of Manitoba. contains about 100.000.000 of acres. a large portion of which is well suited to the production of cereals. The northern portion. known as the Peace River district. owing to the depression of the Rocky Mountains. has quite the same climate as the southern part and is equally fertile. Immigration is invading this immense region. and the time is not far distant when it will be enormously productive. From the Minnesota line to Churchill. on the western shoreof Hudsons Bay. the distance is less than 800 miles. Of this distance more than onethird is occupied by Lake Winnipeg. having a navigable area nearly equal to that of Lake Erie.
