OTTAWA (Ontario), June 3.—On June 24 a census of the population will be taken in the provinces of Mani- toba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Government census commissioners for each of these provinces have left Ot- tawa to prepare for the taking of the first quintennial counting ot the West- ern people. In consequence of the great influx of population to the Canadian west, Parliament has provided that every five years a census of population shall be taken there. The completion of this census,will show., among other things, the true extent of the much talked-of American invasion from Western States. present fully Americans already settled in that portion of the Dominion, and it is estimated that between 75,000 and 100,000 more from the United States will move to Canada before the close of the present summer. Ten years ago only fifty homesteads were allotted to Americans in the whole of Canada, while last year such allotments numbered 8532, representing upward of 50,000 persons formerly citizens of the United States. Some districts in the wheat belt are entirely settled by them. This influx from the Unl!ed States is particularly welcome to Canadians, | who regard it as a desirable thing for | this country, especially as these set- Jtlers come in with full' pocketbooks. {The present movement across the | border means not only added wealth |to the country in the shape of millions of good American dollars, but the com- |ing into the country of a splendid farming people.

WATSON BECOMES WIFE OF MR. FERRIS Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 3.—There was a misunderstanding the reported wedding yesterday in this city of Mrs. Emma Spreckels Watson, only’ daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Claus Spreckels of San Francisce, to Mr. John W. Ferris of that city. Confirmation of the wedding was had today, but the first reports as to the ceremony having taken place in the Church of the Transfiguration, known as “The Little Church Around the Corner,” were incorrect. The -wedding took place in the Church of the Heavenly Rest. It was a very simple wedding and was | witnessed by the bride’s brother and {his wife, Mr. and Mrs. C. Augustus Spreckels. It had been the intention to have the wedding celebrated in the bride’s home in San Francisco. but that home was destroved during the recent disaster and in consequence the family home has been broken up for the present. This caused a-change in the plans, and the ceremony was performed here. Even after the destruction of the Spreckels home it had been hoped that the wedding could take place in San Francisco, but the presence of Mr. Ferris in this city just at this time brought about the decision to wed in New York. The bride has been visiting in Eucope recently, having gone there to witness the marriage of her niece, Miss Lur: line Spreckels, to Mr. Spencer Eddy, which was celebrated in Paris a few days ago. Upon learning that Mrs. Watson wouldy arrive here yesterday Mr. Ferris came from San Francisco, and, together with Mr. and Mrs. C. Spreckels, father the wedding took place been stated above. Mrs. Ferris was the widow of ’he' late Thomas Watson, an Englishman who died two years ago.
