ADVANTAOrs WlNNIPEd OFFIB.x. 'I' or arguments prsscntsd elsewhere which go to prove tbe certainty of Winnipeg'* futai* development and Importance, are sulBdient to coDviuoe the msDafaoturer that tMf Is a most favorable site for tiie location of any industry, the product of which is to seek isle emoi^, and patronage from, the people of Munitoba aod the country west and northwest to the Pasifli coast. Tho mtoufaolnrer who looates In Winnipeg should bear in mind that ha is not depen- dant upon present trade conditions, favor- able ae they are, but is merely startleg a plant that oannot bat expand year by year ae the country tributary grow* in wealth, population and necessities. Winnipeg Is now safe In the power of Its industrial population, and a oity rnlad by this class oannot but oBer sate and profit- able Inveatment for the funds of capitalists. Among the openlDgs here may be mentioned the following : Winnipeg is in a locality particularly favorable to the growth ot eweet corn, tomatoes, ato., and an industry for the manufaoture of canned goods would oertalnly be sucoessful. A starch factory conld scarcely fail to be a profitable under- taking, as Manitoba Is noted for the excel- lence of its potatoes, and the farmers fr qaently do not know what to do witA their prodigious crops, picklns out the larger onee for market and for winter supply and letting the others rot. 8ugar Is another Industry which will be etarlad here and will pay. Oae beet sugar manufactory ha* already been aatabli*b*d In tha waat. Th* loU h*r* la partioatarly adapted for baet raising, aa tha rooto hay* tha beet nonriahmant that ean bs tonad any- whara tram this rioh aoli, yielding ovar 300 baahala to tba aor*. Ainady flue-growing baa received oonsidarabia attention ban, tba aoli and olimata being partloalarly fayorabl* ta Ita growth and harvast. Heretofara thi* product baa been need only In tha mannfao- tura ot Unseed oil, meal and oil oakea. In tha manufao'nre ot binding twin* alona there should be a iplaadid fleld for inveat- ment and for tbe further ntlllxing ot flu. Manitoba la now tha chief souroo wbano* oomea the demand for Undlag twina in Canada, and tba demand la oonatantly growing with *v*ry additional aor* of land brought under oultlvatlon. It would require but small capital to start a matoh manufactory bare, and it wonld have tbe unoooupied field of Manitoba and tbe Northweit. In a word there ia room in Winnipeg for almoet every kind ot mann* faoturlng Industry. PBODCOE BDSnilSS, While on tha anbjeot of WInnlpeg'a trade, the rapid growth of tbe pro- duce and commmlon buainaea must be mentioned. A few yeara ago tbi* class of eommoditlaa waa baadlad principally by wbolaeala grocera. Tboaa were tha daya when batter, oheaaa, ato., bad to be largely Imported to supply tba local demand. Now tbeea product* are greatly in cxoeia of local requiramenta, and there Is qaita a large surplus for export. Tois surplus will oontinn* to increase nntU a great wholesale produce oentre baa been boilt up here. The far trade la another im- portant item In the trade of tha city. In thla line Whinlpeg b conceded to ba tba largest primary market on tba continent. There are a large number of buyer* in tha market here, thus alwaya ensuring good competition and good price*. Thla faot la reoogn'zsd by country trader* and dealara who have '-.i.* to dispose of, const quently they ship their furs from long distancea to thla market for sale. Where tbe bneineaa oent-es, there the best pricse will be se- cured, and this haa been ahown In past tears in the cmo of prices realized for fur* sent to this market. For tore, Winnipeg la the market for almost half tho continent. Westward nearly to tba Pacific coaat, eaat- ward from tbe great dietrict of Algoma, and northward an indefinite dietanoe, fnra are drawn to this market and put up for oom- petltlon among our bnyera, and tha beat prices are always scoured. A ORBAT PACKING OIMTRE. Another branch ot trade which is aasum- Ing great Importatos Is that of pork- paoklng. Seversl houses are engaged in this business and the iiidustry I* rapidly growing. The advantage! are many. Th* supply of meata for packing pnrpoaea ia be- coming large. Manitoba last fall exported trainload after tralnload of cattle eaetward, and many tralnloada passed through her* from the Northwest. Winnipeg, so far aa location Is concerned, occupies the eama po- sition with reference to the Alberta oattl* trade that Kansas City does to the exporta- tion ol Texaa beeves, and St. Paul to tha shipmsnt of Montana cattle. The vaat ranges of Alberta and Montana are rapidly supplanting, in both American and Kjro- pcan markets, the meat products ot Texas, becaueeof t^e marked superiority of tbe northern over the southern-fed and bred oattla.

FIGUR£S AND FACTS ! POINT OUT THE PROORESS OK THE PEERLESS PRINCESS OF THE PRAIRIES. Winnipeg's ever-increasing popu- lation DEMONSTRATES HER MATERIAL PROSPERITY. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT, VALUES OK REALTY AND OTHER CONVINC- ING STA'IISTICS. The hiilory of Winnipeg is told with ad- mirable diroctneu and clearness by the array of facts in this number. Proud of her matchless record, and conscious of her grsat- nesa and still greater future, Winnipeg de- sires that the truth only shall be told of her. Figures collected with scrupulous care and presented conscientiously speak with irrefutable logic and convincing eloquence. The material progress of the city is per- haps best demoustrated by its ever increas- ing population. lu 1870 the population, exclusive of the military was only 215. In 1871, 500 ware added and 700 more in the following year. In 1874 it was estimated at about 2,000. In 1875 it had increased to 5,000 (.3,ail being the number ansesaed) and tliere being an estimated floating popu- lation of 2,000. In 1876 the figures showed the population to be 5,522 ; in 1877, to over B,(K)0 ; from '78 to '80 there wan a steady influx of |)eople nod in '8l-'82, the years of Winnipeg's "big boom," her actual popula- tion doubled, but lier Hosting population was enormous, The following table shows the increase since 1886 : — 188« 19,626 IfW? «l,aS7 H«8 gu,OUS 1889 22,328 tSBO 22,H92 IWl 2S,000 The city's populalion is cosmopolitan, and includes nearly every nationality under the sun, from the Highest type of European and American oivilicition to the Pagiko lodhui and heathen Chinese.

Manitoba's enemies liavc never ceased to pui)lish the gro«te*t misstatements regarding our climate. Tiiay have invented, with .narvellou* ingenuity exaggerated pictures of bliz/.ards, snow and ice, coni|iareil with which the records of 81- lierian or Arctic evplorations appear almost in the light of tropical adventu'-e. Some time ago the guveruinent asked for the teeti- .nouy of settlers in all parts of thi country leganliug thu severity of the climate and and Bsked them to atute if they sulTored auy loKn ill winter from cold weather. In every instance tliu answer was "climate healthy" or "very healthy" and no loss or hardship. Thu climate of this uouutry only requires that the truth slmnld Im told about it.

Frost is r. good thing to the farmer ami one tliiit works without pay. At home in Kngland, winter without frost is regarded by farmers of arable land as a ndsfortunp." The chief merit of Manitola'a atmosphere is its dryness, which precludes the pesti- lential "muggy" heat of more soutlmn lati- tudes, or the chilling r'jld of the lake or ocean "-egions. This t.iodom from moisture does not come from rarity of the atmos- phere, so fatal to persoi.s who have a tcad- oncy to hoart disease, but is ilue to the pro- vailing winds, which coming from the west, do not have opportunity to j^atherclu.upncs from j-Kissage over a large boily of water. The ri'SuU ;s that the actual mercurial tem- perature of cither summet or winter does not convey to the eastern or southern resi dent anything like o correct idea of tlie effect of that temperature u,)on humanity, animal or even vegetable life, i'or instance a temperature of !IS in midsummer is not so oppressive i'l Winiiiiicg as !tl) In ^fcw York as a point on tlic A'lantic.
