WESTERN GANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A sooM, BUT DUE 20 NAT
DEVELOPMENT.

Jne OF the largest banks in Holland
has been doing big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. w. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
iato the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katcheWaR and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects. and
was convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion was not a
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been Invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed. in
dustrious farme- S, who are helping to
produce the Two hundred million BUSH
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels OF the other small
grains that the Provinces OF the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came INTO Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
1851; from Belgium 1901; Holland
LOTT; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1884; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354.237
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most of these people have gone to
the farms, and it is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full

wheat in Western Canada. Advertise

George F. Baer, the famous Phila-

seventeen birthday:
Il agree with Professor Metchnikoff
about the wisdom of the old. Profes-
sor Osler made it fashionable to de-
cry gray hairs, but my experience has
been that the old not only possess
wisdom, but they seek it also"
