This little pamphlet endeavors to set forth the difficulties which confront new settlers,, and how they may be minimized— customs, making up carloads of household effects, carriage of live stock, quarantine regulations, etc. The information has been gathered from the most reliable sources, but it should be under- .stood that rates, whether for passage or freight, change from time to time; and the wisest course is to verify them, which can be done at any of the several points indicated, where the latest tariffs will always be found on file. Any further particulars which are not treated in detail will always be gladly furnished; and furthermore, if the new settler will notify the Company of the approximate date of his arrival, one of its men will, if necessary, be on the ground to assist him.

The Canadian Customs tariff provides for free entry of certain house- hold and settlers' effects, as follows: Wearing apparel, books, usual and reasonable household furniture and other household effects, instruments and tools of trade, occupation or employment, guns, musical instruments, domestic sewing mechines, type- writers, bicycles, carts, wagons and other highway vehicles, agricultural implements and live stock for the farm, not to include live stock or articles for sale or for use as a contractor's outfit, nor vehicles nor implements moved by mechanical power, nor machinery for use in any manufacturing establishment; all the foregoing if actually owned by the settler for at least six months before his removal to Canada, and subject to regulations prescribed by the Minister of Customs, provided that any dutiable articles as settlers' effects may not be entered unless brought by the settler on his first arrival, and shall not be sold or otherwise dis- posed of without payment of duty until after twelve months' actual use in Canada. A SETTLER MAY BRING INTO CANADA, FREE OF DUTY, live stock for the farm as follows, if he has actually owned such live stock abroad for at least six months before his removal to Canada, and has brought them into Canada within one year after his first arrival, viz.: If Horses only are brought i6 allowed. If Cattle only are brought i6 allowed. If Sheep only are brought i6o allowed. If Swine only are brought i6o allowed. The settler is allowed sixteen head of stock, that is to say, he could bring into Canada ten Horses and six Cows or in any way he wishes making sixteen head of stock. (See freight regulations regarding number of Horses or Live Stock in settlers' cars, on page 9.) Household Goods. — In connection with the shipping of household goods and personal effects into Canada no particular form of invoice ■.< necessary. Shipments should be forwarded in the ordinary way and they will be looked after by the Canadian Customs Officer at the frontier port. Customs entry must be made and sworn to by the owner or agent of the goods before delivery can be obtained. Automobiles, Traction Engines, Gasoline Engines, and all implements or vehicles moved by mechanical power are not allowed free entry into Canada as settlers' effects, but are dutiable. Dutiable Articles, being brought into Canada by a settler of which it is impossible to procure invoices, the same will be appraised by a Cus- toms Officer at the frontier port for duty purposes. Settlers must take the following affidavit when entering their effects: ^> do hereby solemnly make oath and say that all the Goods and Articles hereinbefore mentioned are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, entitled to Free Entry as Settlers' Effects, under the tarifif of duties of Customs now in force, and that all of them have been actually owned by myself for at least six months before my removal to Canada; and that none of the goods or articles shown in this entry have been imported as merchandise or for use in any manufacturing establishment, or as a Contractor's outfit, or for sale, and that I intend becoming a permanent settler within the Dominion of Canada, and that the "Live Stock" enumerated and described in the entry hereunto attach- ed, is intended for my own use on the farm which I am about to occupy (or cultivate), and not for sale or speculative purposes, nor for the use of any other person or persons. Sworn to before me this day of I go Collector. It may be well to take special note that it does not pay to undertake to smuggle anything in, otherwise such goods or chattel.'^ may be con- fiscated, or if not, an amount can be assessed against such articles that would make it equivalent to confiscation. The owner or a competent person with power of attorney from owner, should accompany the ship- ment to the point of entry in order to properly pass customs. Goods of every nature may be forwarded in bond to customs port of entry nearest to point of delivery. (See "List of Ports" below). Very great incon- venience may be saved by obtaining full information before making shipment. LIST OF PORTS WITH OUTPORTb TO WHICH GOODS MAY BE FORWARDED IN BOND.

BRINGING LIVE STOCK INTO CANADA. The main difficulties encountered by the new settler are in connection with his live stock; and riyht here it will be said that most of these difficulties are overcome if the owner of live stock will take the trouble to ascertain the Canadian Quarantine Regulations, and be guided by them. They will be found printed below. It will be noted that these Regulations require that all stock shall be inspected at a Port of Entry on the Canadian border. If the stock is in good condition, and is accompanied by certificates that certain tests have been fulfilled, there is no quarantine, except for swine. The important point is, get these certificates before you start. Other- wise, the stock will be detained at port of entry, and will be subjected to the tests there, and may possibly be detained in quarantine, as set forth in the regulations. It is easy to get these certificates; inspectors 01 tl.e Bureau of Animal Industry are located in every important centie. The services of the inspector of the Bureau of Animal Ir.tlustry an Iree; those of the veterinary you will have to pay for, but they are moderate, and are based on a scale approved by the government. Xo cne else should be employed, because the signatures of unauthorized persons are not recognised by quarantine officials. If for any reason you cannot have your stock inspected before leaving home, on no account have it inspected until you reach the port of entry. Beware of parties who board your train en route and try to induce you to let them inspect your stock — for a fee. It is only waste of time. Quarantine Regulations.- -All animals imported into the Dominion of Canada from the United States must be accompanied by a slaiutory dechiration or affidavit made by the owner or importer, 'Untinjir clearly the purpose for which said animals are imported, viz., whetho: for breed- ing pa'pose?, for milk production, for w^'k, for grazing, feeding, or slaughter, or whether they form part of settlers' effects, or whether they are entered for temporary stay. Said declaration or affidavit must be presented to the Collector of Customs at the port of entry, who will decide whether the animals are entitled to entry under these regulations, and who will notify the Vcti- nary Inspector of the Department of Agriculture in all cases where the regulations require an inspection to be made. Settlers Horses, Mules and Asses, must be accompanied by a satis- factory certificate of Mallein test, dated not more than thirty days prior to the date of entry, and signed by an inspector of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, or a similar certificate from a reputable veterinary, provided such certificate is endorsed by an inspector of said Bureau of Animal Industry. The owner or the agent of the horses or stock should personally carry this certificate and not submit the same to the Railway companies; having this certificate for the Canadian Veterinary Inspector you will not be detained at the frontier port. 1 1 When horses are not accompanied by a certificate, they will be tested at the quarantine station at the port of entry into Canada, or under such restrictions as the Veterinary Director General may prescribe, at point of destination. When tested at the port of entry, if any reactors are found they shall be slaughtered without compensation, or dellnitely marked and returned to the United States, and must not again be presented for entry. All horses, mules or asses i i the same consignment shall be returned to the United States, but the non-reactors may be again presented for entry and further test after the lapse of a period of not less than fifteen days from the date of the first test, provided that satisfactory evidence is pro- duced to the effect that they have not, during the same period, been in contact with affected animals. When tested at destination points all animals reacting to the test will be slaughtered without compensation, while those comprising the rest of the shipment will be detained in quarantine until it is shown to the satisfaction of the Veterinary Director- General that they are f.ee from disease. No compensation will, under any circumstance, be paid for horses leacting to Mallein within six months after the date of their importation into Canada. Settlers' Cattle, at the present time, are allowed to enter Canada without being subjected to the Tuberculin test. Cattle for breeding purposes and milk production six months old or over, if unaccompanied by a satisfactory tuberculin test chart dated not more than thirty days prior to the date of entry and signed by a veterinarian of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry must be detained in quarantine for one week or such further period as may be deemed necessary, and subjected to the tuberculin test; cattle reacting thereto must be returned to the United States, or slaughtered without compensation. Importers may be required to furnish a statutory declaration that the chart produced applies to the cattle it purports to describe, and no other. Settlers' Sheep, must be accompanied by a certificate from an In- spector of the Bureau of Animal Industry; if not accompanied by a certificate they will be held at the quarantine station at the frontier port for thirty days. Settlers' Swine. — All swine are held at the quarantine station at the frontier port for thirty days, and before being admitted to quarantine a ceitificate from the inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry must be presented. Chickens, may be brought into Canada by a settler free of duty if he has actually owned such chickens for at least six months before his re- moval into Canada, and has brought them into Canada within one year after his first arrival. Regulations Regarding Free Entry of Pure Bred Stock. — No animal imported into Canada for tlic improvement of stock shall be admitted free of duty unless the owner is a Hritish subject, resident in the British Empire, or if more than one owner, each is a British subject resident in the British Empire, and there is furnished an imi)ort certilicate stating that the animal is recorded in a Canadian National record or in a J'"oreign record recognized as reliable by the National Record committee. In case such certificate is not at hand at the time of the arrival of the animals, entry for duty may be made with the Canadian customs subject to a refund of the duty upon the production of the requisite certilicate and proofs in due form satisfactory to the customs within one year from the time of entry.

The amount of seed grain must not exceed the following: Wheat, 4.500 lbs; oats, 3,400 lbs; barley, 4,800 lbs; tlax seed 1,400 lbs. a. While the Canadian Pacific Railway is desirous of continuin^r to give liberal encouragement to settlers, both as to the variety of the elTects which may be loaded in cars, and the low rates thereon, it is also the duty of the Company to protect the merchants of the Northwest by pi eventing as far as possible the loading of merchandise of a general character in cars with personal effects. 3. Passes.— One man will be passed free in charge of full carloads of settlers' effects when containing live stock, to feed, water and care for them in transit. 4. Settlers' Effects, to be entitled to carload rates, must consist of a carload from one point of shipment to one point of destination. Car- load shipments will not be stopped in transit for completion or partial unloading. 5. The minimum carload weight of 24,000 lbs is applicable only to cars not exceeding 36 feet in length. If the actual weight of the carload exceeds 24,000 lbs. the additional weight will be charged for at the car- load rate. 6. The Minimum Charge for less than carload shipments will be 100 lbs. at regular first-class rates. 7. Should a Settler Wish to Ship More than Ten Head of live stock, the additional animals will be charged for at proportionate rates over and above the carload rate for the settlers' effects. 8. Less than Carload Shipments will be understood to mean only household goods (second hand) wagons, or other vehicles for personal use (second hand), and second hand farm machinery, implements u d tools. Settlers' effects rates, however, will not apply on shipments ol second hand wagons, buggies, farm machinery, implements or tools, unless accompanied by household goods. 9.

Car Rental and Storage of Freight in Cars.— When freight is to be loaded by consignor, or unloaded by consignee, one dollar ($1.00) per car per day or fraction thereof, for delay beyond 48 hours in loading or unloading, will be added to the rates named herein, and constitute a part of the total charges to be collected by the carriers on the property. I Consignees are allowed twenty-four hours after notice of arrival of shipments in which to give orders for placing or delivery of cars before the forty-eight hours' free time mentioned herein begins.
