having troubles of it's own in dealing

Under the new law the drug is not

no question of the fact that something
like three-fourths of the $4,000 pounds
of opium imported annually is con-
sumed by the unfortunates known pop
ularly as dope fiends."
Of such dope fiends there are
number of species, which is one rea-
son why the opium problem is SO hard
to tackle successfully. There are, to
begin with, the smokers of opium,
who are said to compose an army of
about 10000 of our citizens. These

Experts Work ON Water Power Policy

have criticised it and approved it.
The basis of the plan is develop
ment without delay of water power
sites. The plan holds that private
capital must be aided by the state or
nation through corporate franchises,
condemnation of private property, and
licenses to use public lands and OBJ
struct public waters, etc. Under the
plan, the power companies would have
certainty OF tenure for a reasonable
time, and chance for generous
profits on their actual investment. For
the public, the plan attempts to pro-
vide for good service, fair prices, full
publicity as TO cost, honest capitaliza-
ton and fair rentals for public prop
erty used by the companies.
The plan comedies that the federal
government has no jurisdiction in
dealing with the problem of power
sites unless it's land is to be occupied,
or navigable rivers affected. 1t is pro-
posed that the regulation of service
and prices is to be a function of the
state, leaving to the national govern
ment the duty of obtaining prompt,
full and orderly development, a rea-
sonable time limit for the leases, pub
licity as to financiering and fair rent

ten MILLION PEOPLE
IN The CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
"roronto STAR" Dec. 10th, 1910.

The prediction is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. 1t is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober. business newspaper.
the New York Commercial. It II
based upon actual observation, upoH
the wheat-growing capacity Of the ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
of development following the build
Ing OF railways. The writer shows
how the position Of leading wheat
market OF the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canadas wheat-grow-
ing belt is four times greater than
that Of the United States, and only
five per cent Of Canada's western agri-
cultural area Is under cultivation.
There are 170,000.000 acres OF wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer. more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center of food supremacy will change
to Canada, and 25 years more will
give this country 40,000,000 popula-
ton west of Ontario.
All these estimates of population
are in the nature of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area Of wheat-growing land.
the rapid construction of railways.
and the large volume Of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production of an
ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the Industrial and commercial
population of Canada may increase.
| the increase of home consumption II
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production Of wheat; for sin
gle acre OF wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption of four
people.
While production in Canada Is thus
running ahead of consumption at .
| prodigious rate, consumption In tho
United States is overtaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export Ia
growing smaller year by year. 1t ia
true that the limit Of actual power to
| pIOuuCo WuGdL ~ dS ySI ldT away.
BY methods of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail in France, the produ0-
ton could be greatly increased. But
with the OVERLOOKING granary Of Can
ada so close at hand, it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to irli-
port from us, turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms Of
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place t.
corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton. to
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and othel
, tropical fruits.
