the Gazette. Of Fulton. New rsoently
paid visit 70 Western Canada He
was 90 impressed With tho conditions
that be saw everywhere. that on his
return home he was inspired to write
a. follows: *Rsverence and respect
for law Is dominant characteristic
of the Canadian people. Wherever
one goes In Canada, whether east or
west, the law - supreme. The Law il
obeyed because It Ais law, seemingly.
and not because violation carries Z
penalty. Canada enforces the law and
makes every law effective. No coun.

ion and the provinces. The nominal
head Of the Government IL the Gov

lish Crown. Practically his only an
thority ID to veto the acts Of parIlar
ment, which he scarcely ever exer-
cises. Canada gives nothing to the
support Of the English government or
the English king. She gives England
the advantage In trade regulations and
tarin laws, and In return receives the
protection of the British army and
navy. Canada enjoys the protection
without sharing In the expense.
"The sale of liquor Is strictly regu-
lated. None but hotel-keepers may
obtain license to vend the stun, and
before a license can be secured an ap-
plicant must prove good character and
provide twenty rooms In his tavern
for the accommodation OF guests. The
bar-rooms close at O'clock Saturday
evening and remain closed until Mon
day morning. The schools and churches
In Western Canada excite admiration.
Though new, Western Canada Is not
goddess. The finest buildings In every
town are the churches. Next come
the school houses" ,
Turning to the wheat fields Of West
ern Canada, the editor OF the Laurel
(Neb) Advocate Of Sept. nth says:
II have often thought that the
reason that the characters OF Charles
Dickens are 90 impressed upon the
minds Of his readers IL because he
dwells upon them 30 long and de-
scribes them SO infinitely that BY the
time one has waded through his long
drawn out stories they are 90 burned
into his brain that he can never forget
them. 1t was this way with the Cana
dian wheat fields. Had we only seen
q few the memory OF them might
have worn away in time. but long
drawn out experience such as we had
Is sure to leave an uneffaceable Inn
preston. Never while we live shall
we forget the Canadian wheat fields.
They call It the granary OF the Brit
ish Empire, and We don't blame EN-.
Nobody who has seen these wheat
fields can wonder at their enthusiasm."
It ID worth while to record that these
fields have now been harvested. and
in many cases yields AZ high AZ forty
and nifty bushels per acre have been
marketed. while the general average
has been away above 20 bushels per
acre. Oats and barley have also
done well. and the profits, the prices
of grains being high. have paid the
entire cost OF the farms Of many .
