country. When, however, timber is not
available, an excellent quality of coal
is always on hand. AS early as 1887
some $4,000 tons were mined, and this
was increased to 325 900 tons in 1900,
which amount has been growing annual
ly. Although mining is but in its in
fancy, enough coal has already been To-
Gated to do the whole of Canada for
centuries.
Wheat.
To turn again to the great staple of
the country, wheat, we may remark that
year in and year out, the entire cost of
production to the farmer, even if he
hires everything done from the ploughing
to the delivery at the market, is set
down by a number of calculators at
$3.50 Per acre. AS the average crop Of
the country, year in and year out, is 20
bushels to the acre and the average price
so cents, or S12 per acre, the profit to
the farmer is $3.50 per acre. If he
does his work himself he, of course,
earns wages in addition to this profit.
These figures are very conservative.
The farmers who are living On small
overcrowded farms III other countries,
or even land they can sell for $50, $40
or $50 an acre, should bear in mind $50
acres of better producing land, where
climate, educational facilities and ev-
erything else necessary for the farmers
welfare, can be procured in Western
Canada free of charge. Settlers are now
locating at the rate of 100000 a year
from all parts Of the world. The testi-
monies Of these settlers, which can be
got from any of them for the asking, are
all the recommend the country requires

front rank Of the populous nations of
the globe. 1t is already as prosperous as

ventured and won is all the assurance
that is necessary for the prosperity and
development of the future.

THE SMOKE OF FINANCE

Smoke is waste. It is so much un.
burned fuel dissipated beyond recov-
cry. Smoke clouds hanging wei a city
are no longer regarded as evidence of
industrial thrift. On the contrary,
they may be taken as an indication
that the manufacturers guilty of the
waste are likely to fail in meeting com
petition.
Large and expensive Offices are the
smoke of finance. The excuse offered
for wasting money in their mainten.
ance is the favorable impression tn ,y
are intended to produce upon the de-
posltor or investor. For this reason a
man whose business is only large
enough to warrant paying for desk
space IN cheap quarters will occupy \

Investors, however, are learning 3,
count the cost. They are becoming
more inclined to place their confidence
In the promoter that refuses to sonar.
der investors money in useless rents
and salaries. They are coming to per-
eeive the real character of all this
financial smoke, which means the dis.
sipation of capital beyond possibility
of recovery.
A good way for a promoter to gain

evidence OF how little he spends on the
