OTTAWA, Oct. 21.-Sir Frederick
Borden, minister of militia, who has
just returned from a tour of the west

harvest of thousand million bushels

lions any too optimistic.
Millions of acres of land are being
taken up in the Canadian northwest
every year, and the wheat growing area
is expanding with great rapidity, so
much so that the question is being
asked whether the wheat growers will
always be sure Of market for their
grain. Apropos of this query, a some-
