In most places this is too lean to bo

Its totals are staggering to tho imng

tho markets of the globe, who will
have tho hardihood to say thnt soma

their widths across tho distance. Wo
saw the Norwegian codflshlng Indus

Svolvaer, we met hundreds of vessels

tho Lofoten islands swarm with cod,
and Baedeker soys that at times and
places hereabouts a line thrown into
50 fathomB of water will not reach bot

It is the sea that supports northern
Norway; without itB harvest life would

fully recognizes this fact that it has

Canada Has Sufficient
Coal for 6000 Years
It Has Enough Agricultural Land for the Set
tling of Millions.
A reprrt dealing with tho coal re
souroes of Canada has been Issued by
t3e Domlulon Department of Mines.
Tho estimates given arc only based on
whnt la known, lu tho western nnd
northern regions, which huvo been
llttlo explored, thoro may bo vast de
posits of which nothing whatever Is
known at present. Tho officials of the
department estimate- that of bitu
minous coal there Is In Canada 71! ',6
billion tons; of unthrnclto 4C1 mil
lion tons; sub-bltutnlnouB nnd lignite
over 100 billion tons. Tho quantity
of coal now annually mined In Cannda
Is about 12 million tons. With nn h-
tlmuted quantity of unmixed good coal,
of 74 billion tons, it would require
C.lfit; years to exhaust tho supply. If
tho Inferior grades wcro Included, sup
ply would last for 14,575 jcars. Of
course the coal demands of Canndn
will keep on Increasing, but it will bo
a good many years before tho quantity
of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of tho United States
mines. Their annual output is about
GOO.OOO.OOO tons. At that tato it
would tako only 145 cars to exhaust
tho estimated Canadian supply of
good coal, nnd about 350 years to get
to tho end of the total supply. And
with tho increasing population, made
up of about four hundred thousand per
sons a year (and It looks now ns it this
numbor would be reached this year),

being an estimate of the Immigration
from the United States for 1912, tho
consumption of coal will naturally In
crease. The agricultural districts of Canada
havo now become so well known
throughout the world, nnd the vacant
area of splendid land is still so great
that it may bo expected that tho num
bers mentioned will Increase from
year to year, and It will not bo many
years before tho immigration figures
will reach tho million mark.
It may be BBked what is thero to
warrant this large Immigration? With
millions of acrca of land, capable of
producing twenty-flvo to forty bushels
of wheat to the acre; or, it In oats,
from forty to pincty, and even as high
as a hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of flax or bar
ley, there la amplo Inducement to at
tract these hundreds of thousands who
are filling the present agricultural set
tlements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds of
thousands who will follow. There .re
mains 'not only the agricultural wealth
of the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there ia the life
and the energy born from -the knowl
edge that the settler is more than a
unit in the upbuilding, in tho making
of a country that will aoon rank
amongst the first in tho nations of
the world. There Is no desire on the
part of the writer to dwell upon the
success that has followed the Ameri
can settler in the Provinces of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the' coast Province of British Colum
bia, or to apeak of the thousands of In
dividuals whose hundreds of dollars
have made them thousands, but atten
tion must be paid to the fact that theso
people have done well. They are fol
lowed by their families and their
friends, who also are doing well.
Where, a few years ago, seemingly
only months ago, there was nothing
but the open prairie, or if via speak of
the more central portions of theso
provinces, tho park districts, thero aro
today well tilled and cultivated farms,
large farms, too, and the herdn of cat
tle. Cltlos and towns aro the result of
Uniforms and Diplomacy,
The gazettes have announced that
the emperor of Germany has deigned
to name Mon. do Kiderlen-Waccbter
major of tho Seventy-first Thuringlan
Infantry. To pleaso his august master,
tho minister sometimes wears his uni
form, but in it he gtves no illusion of
elcganco. Tho other day, to console
himself, he said: "I believe my col
league, M. Polncare (the French am
bassador) would appear more ridicu
lous than I do if he were obliged to
dress as an artillerist."
Prince von Uuelow, who is colonel of
hussars, rodo In the grand review at
the bead of his regiment. Some years
ago, at Strasburg, the emperor remark
ed some squadrons that were moving
tho opculng up of this rich field of ag
riculture, and It Is n high class of ag
riculture, carried on by tho uso of
brains, and, whero energy has not
been endowed, it haB beconto in that
splendid air n caso of inoculated en

train of cars may pass tho farm, tho
clovntor is but a short drive from tho
home, n nplumlld market Is established,
and all tho advantages of an old set
tled community nro at hnud.
Tho prospects this year from an ag
ricultural standpoint uro exceedingly
bright, and, relieved of untoward con
ditions, tho farmer is already counting
his bank roll, planning for more ox
tensive operations for next year, and
figuring on paying out for his farm,
He la calculating what tho increased
vnluo of his holdings, as a result of a
successful crop, will add to his assets.
Already some fields of wheat have boon
harvested, barley hns been cut, nnd
the yield Is nbovo Ills expectation. In
fact, the feeling nt tho tlmo of writing
is that never In tho history or any
country on tho continent has thero
been such u prospect of a largo aver
age crop, nil over the three central
provinces of Cannda, nB will bo harvest-
ed this year. The railroads aro add
ing to their already large mileage and
have got ready for handling the crop
thousands of box cars. The govern
ment agents and tho railways are mak
ing arrangements for from fifty to six
ty thousand extra farm hands in order
tliat the crop may be successfully and
quickly harvested, business men are
laying In larger stocks than usual, rel
estate men aro nctlvo, preparing for
the rush of business that Is sure to
follow, and everywhere there 1b the
note of optimism, which seems to be
perfectly justifiable.
There Is, as has been said, a vast
area of tho country still open for set
tlement and homostcadlng lying In the
center north. Speaking of this part
a writer, who made tho trip when the
crop was in its green stage, said:
"Just now, the whole country Is a
beautiful sight, aa it presents itself in
full dress of living green, varied in
shade, .many places elegantly fringed
nnd interspersed with pleat ings of
shrubbery and patches of sweet scent
ed flowers in rose, yellowrwhlte, pink,
scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav
eling over the virgin soil, I have seen
some of the most charming rolling
prairies, sloping hills, deep ravines,
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
und natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid of man. The land in general
Is heavily matted with 'crass, mixed
with vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions of
acres of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively email acreage under cul
tivation reminds one of a few small
garden patches.
"When we consider theestimated
crop of 300,000,000 bushels of wheat
f6r 1912, to be produced on these west
era prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the Immense
possibilities and rich heritage of a glo
rious western Canada."
The estlmato of the wheat crop, as
made by tho writer quoted, la exces
sive, but with even 2C0 million bushols,
there will bo a great deal of satisfac
tion on tho part of tho settlers.
