In my Judgment It Is essential In the proper development of Alaska that these coal l&r.Js should be opened, anc that the Pacific elope should be given the benefit of the comparatively cheap coo! of fine quality which can be furnished at a reasonable price from these fields: but the public, through the government, ought certainly to retain a wise control and interest in these coal deposits, and I think it may do so safely tf congress will aut arise the granting of leases, as ai ready suggested for government coal lands in the United States, with provi sions forbidding the transfer of the leases except with the consent of the government, thus preventing t.nefr acqui sition by a combination or m. nep- !y and „pon limitations as to the ar .» t > be in eluded in any one s-use to one individual, .'.-id at a certain n;« ierate rental, w .h royalties upon t!i“ coal mined proror t'.ored to the market value of the > il - •he- at Seu'tV or at San Pr.ir-. s v Of tourse such leases sh:u!i contain c ndi • -*ns requirl-g the erection of proper rlants. the rr >p* - development by mod e-n mining met vis of the properties leased. &rd : N l;se of every known and rr:ict: a! me:.-* ar.d device for saving the life of the tn tiers.

But it la only or.e of two necessary steps to effect what should he our purpose. It has produced a status quo and prevented waste and Ir revocable disposition of the lands until the method for their proper disposition can be formulated. But it is of toe ut most importance that such withdrawals shocM not be regarded as the final step In the course of conservation, and that the idea should not be allowed to spread that conservation is the tying up of tha natural resources of the government for indefinite withholding from use and tha renvss;on to remote generations to decide what ought to be done with these means of promoting present general human com fort and progress. For. if so. it is certain to arouse the greatest opposition to con servation as a cause, arid if it were a correct expression of the purpose of con servationists it ought to ..rouse this op position.

The broad acres of the fans er s land had a crop—ar.d a splendid one. too. by the *i; — ripening for tee reapers' work. Tt:e evenness of the crop, covering field after field, attract ed attention, as did also the neatness ol the surroundings, the well-built sub- | atactial story and-a-half log house, and the weil-rcuuded series of the cattle H*s broken English—he was a French ! Canadian—was easily understandable and pleasant to listen to. He had come there from Montreal a year ago. had paid 1. an acre for the Su-acre farm, with the little improvement It had. He had never farmed before, yet his crop was excellent, giving evi dence as to the quality of the soil, and the good judgment that had been use in its preparation. And brains conn* in farming as well as “braw." Asked how he liked it there, he straightened his broad shoulders, and with hand outstretched towards the waving fields of grain, this young French Canadian, model of symmetrical build, replied: "Be gosh. yes. we like him—the lancin'—well, don't we.

Well, we 'Ike him—the farmin'." And that was a good definition of independence. Throughout a trip of several hun dred miles in the agricultural district of Western Canada, the writer found the farmers In excellent spirits, an optimistic feeling being prevalent everywhere. It will be interesting to the thousands on the American side of the line to know that their rela tives and friends are doing well there, that they have made their home in a country that stands up so splendidly under what has been trying conditions In most of the northwestern part of the farming districts of the continent. With the exception of some portions of Southern Alberta, and also a por tion of Manitoba and Southern Sas katchewan the grain crops could be described as fair, good and excellent. The same drought that affected North and South Dakota. Montana. Minne sota. Wisconsin and other of the northern central states extended over Into a portion of Canada Just men twrol But In these portions the crons for the past four or five, years were splendid and the yields good. The great province of Saskatchewan ha* suffered less from drought in pro portion to her area under cultivation than either of the other provinces. On the €»ther hand. Instead of the drought fceiug confined very largely to the south of the main line of the C. P. R. It is to he found in patches right through the center of northern Sas katchewan also. Tn sp«te of this, how ever. Saskatchewan has a splendid crop A careful checking of the aver ages of yield, with the acreages In the different districts, gives an average yield of 15tg bushels to the acre. In Southern Alberta one-fifth of the whiter wheat will cot be cut. or has beet re-sown to feed. There are t» dividual crops which will run as high as bushels on acres of fdO and a.w* acres, but there are others which wn* drop as low as 15. a safe average few winter wheat will be 13 bushels. The I sample is exceptionally foe excepting in a few cases where it has been wiin kled by extreme heat. The northern sec:ion of Alherta has beet nat ral'y asxic .s to impress world with the fact that it has not stiff* red from drought, and this is quite true Wheat crops mr. fr m to 50 bushels to an acre, but in a report rock as this It is really only poss.i In to deal with the province as a wtoie and while the estimate may seem very 1 * to the people of Alberta, it is fair to the province thr -gheut bb»E the very light ramfall and other e ‘W.tricit.-s of the past season are •afc«-n into account, it se=ms toth l~g sr.ort of a m:ra-~ie that the t'aca d.aa A * -* she - lid have produced 103 mili-os bcsaels of wheat, which is 1*-*han li million bushels short of •he err :, of lSvS.

I hope that in coming from a free coun try you real ire that you come also to another free country, and that al though you came from a republic yon have come to what is a crowned democracy. The King, our sovereign. . has perhaps not so many powers as ' the President of the United States, but whether we are on the one sice of the line or the other, we are all brothers by blood, by kinship, by ties of relationship. In coming here as you have come and becoming natural ized citizens of this country no one de sires you to forget the land of your ancestors.
