CANADA IS A LAND
OF CHEERFUlNESS

Canada Is a land of such big enter
prises and such quick money returns
that the spirit which is most manifest
is one of hustle and good cheer And
who wouldn't smile If his investments
turned out like they have in scores of
railroad towns in the Dominion, where
lots were fDught one year for 5000 and
were sold in comparatively few
months for five, ten and twenty times
what they cost-with prices rising all
the time until now the choicest corners
in Calgary. Prince Rupert and other
bonanza cities bring 100000 to $50
600 each.
1t is pleasant to make big money and
that is why Canada smiles-and all the
time the smile grows broader. The
Canadian Pacific made the fortunes of
thousands in opening up new towns and
now the new and greater Grand Trunk
Pacific is about to make the fortunes
of thousands more who snap up lots in
towns along the, route before the con-
Meeting rails are laid.
Fort Fraser. b. c., is the most likely
place for the next great boom to start.
Being situated on the main line of the
registered right of way OF this new
Grand Trunk Pacific, and. already hav-
ing big prestige is land and water
trading point. it cannot fail to make a
remarkable increase in population and
value of real estate. Some of the best
posted men in Canada predict that Fort
Fraser will surpass even Calgary in
quick growth and the amount of money
made.

So Indiana seems to be on the politi-

ed to select Governor Marshall as the
temporary chairman of the Demo :

held on March FL AS far as can be
learned there is no opposition to this
unanimously. The members of the
committee point out that Marshall Is
not only the Governor of Indiana and
the leader of his party in this state,
but that he is also the Indiana Demo
.cracy's candidate for the presidency,
and that this entities him to the honor
The temporary chairman makes the
keynote speech for the party in the
campaign, outlining the position of the
party the issues involved. and the
speech will be printed for general cir

that the speech will be of such a char
acter as to make it a national cam

Zinn Gives His Views
The viewpoint with many Chicago
ans when they come to consider har-
Dor matters is too narrow" Lieut. Col
linn said Commercial Chicago
knows no city, county. or state bound
aries and commercial harbor for the
city should be provided at that loca-
ton which will best care for the city's
trade. Chicago doesn't want a harbo-
that is to be choked to death by the
-encircling rails of railroads. 1t wants
the commercial piers. where there is
plenty of room for terminals.
THAT is the trouble with a pier sys-
tenn at the mouth of the river There
are no railway terminal facilities ex-
cept those of the Northwestern rail
road-facilities that today are to small
even to take care of the railroad traffic
they are called upon to handle. Con-
denim more land and let other railroads
come in, some may say. 1t might be
done, but the enormous cost of such
procedure can be obviated and this
7 money used in the very construction OF
a harbor at another point which will
meet Chicago's commercial needs much
/ better than harbor on the north side
ever could meet them.
THE building of commercial har-
i Dor at the rivers mouth would mean
more congestion of a part of the city
which alreay is so crowded that it {:

The engineer also points out tel

The space now utilized could be in

was convicted in the superior
county court and sentenced to
two months in jail for writing and
publishing his article Nudes and
