Boston Banker, Returning From Trlprt

A Huston banker, desiring to re

work, did what most bankers do, oi
should do, took a holiday, away from
the confines of the city life. Canada

hilarated both In mind and body. On
his return a few days ago, ho told the
reporter of he Wall Street Journal of
the richness of the vast fields of gold
en grain thnt he saw on his trip
through the Canadian West. Doubt,
less he broke his Journey Into tha
Canadian Itockles long enough to make
on Inspection of them. Who could
help it, ns from th& car window were
to lte seen miles nnd miles of golden
stooks, rangt'd row upon row away
back to the lines of the horizon? Ha
must have done so. for when he got
back to the Hub, he wns tilled' with
enthusiasm over his trip and what he
saw In Caiindii, and ho had to get It
oft' his mind. It was revealed In thle
way :
"Camilla is getting strong, recover
ing by leaps and bounds from the de
pression caused by wnr. While unrest
nnd lack of co-operation seem to bo
holding things buck on this side of
the border the Dominion to the north
faces ah era of unprecedented activity
and prosperity. Ono of the basic
reasons for this brilliant comeback la
the rich yield of the great northwest

That the crops In Canada, both east
nd west, are meeting the expectation
of the farmers Is a satisfying fact,
Nvhlch gles a positive assurance of a
yield that will menu millions of dol
lars to the wealth of the country.
Then1 will probably lip ns much us two

.'ountry of nearly half n billion dol.

the friends they have developing the!
farms In this region of big crops an.J
good prices will participate In thlr
wealth, and what will be more pleas
Ing, Is the knowledge of the fact that
the wealth In which they wilt partlcl

Western Canada has never knowa
a failure In crops. There are district
where partial failures have been, but
consideration should be given to ths
fact thnt the country, thnt portion of

lies, Is from seven to olght hundred
