Judge Black of Everett is claim

The other candidates say 1t is

ed this year. The railroads are add
ing to their already large mileage and
have got ready for handling the crop
thousands of box cars. The govern
ment agents and the railways are max
ing arrangements for from fifty to six
ty thousand extra farm hands in order
that the crop may be successfully and
quickly harvested, business men are
laying in larger stocks than usual, real
estate men are active, preparing for
the rush of business that is sure to
follow, and everywhere there is the
note of optimism, which seems to be
perfectly justifiable.
There Is, as has been said, a vast
area of the country still open for set
tlement and homesteading lying in the
center north. Speaking of this part
writer, who made the trip when the
crop was in its green stage, said:
"Just now, the whole country is
beautiful sight. as 1t presents itself in
full dress of living green, varied in
shade, many places elegantly fringed
and interspersed with pleatings of
shrubbery and patches of sweet scent
ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink,
scarlet. cardinal and purple. In trav.
cling over the virgin soil, have seen
some OF the most charming rolling
prairies, sloping hills, deep ravines,
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
and natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid of man. The land in general
is heavily matted with grass, mixed
with vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions Of
acres of which are going to waste
while beef. pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds one OF a few small
garden patches.
when we consider the estimated
crop of 300,000,OOO bushels of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage of glo-
rious western Canada"
The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is exces-
siye, but with even $50 million bushels,
there will be great deal of satisfac.
ton on the part of the settlers.

being an estimate Of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption of coal will naturally in
crease.
The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become so we'll known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area of splendid land is still so great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
1t may be asked what Is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions Of acres of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
of wheat to the acre; or, If in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
as hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of flax or bar
ley, there is ample inducement to at
tract these hundreds Of thousands who
are filling the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds of
thousands who will follow. There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
of the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler Is more than a
unit in the Irbuilding, in the making
OF country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations OF
the world. There is no desire on the
part of the writer to dwell upon the
success that has followed the Ameri-
can settler in the Provinces of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the coast Province of British Column
bia, or to speak Of the thousands of in
dividuals whose hundreds of dollars
have made them thousands, but atten-
tion must lie paid to the fact that these
people have done well. They are fol-
lowed by their families and their
friends, who also are doing we'll.
Where, few years ago, seemingly
only months ago, there was nothing
but the open prairie. or If we speak OF
the more central portions of these
provinces, the park districts, there are
today well titled and cultivated farms,
large farms, too, and the herds of cat
tie. Cities and towns are the result of

the opening up of this rich field of ag-
riculture, and 1t is high class of ag-
riculture, carried on by the use Of
brains, and, where energy has not
been endowed, 1t has become in that
splendid air case of inoculated en-
ergy.
The rapid advancement OF railways
makes the situation easy. Today one
may be located thirty miles from one
of the many branches of the different
systems. A year from now, the whis-
tie of the locomotive and the long
train of cars may pass the farm, the
elevator is but short drive from the
home, a splendid market is established,
and all the advantages of an old set
tied community are at hand.
The prospects this year from an ag-
ricultural standpoint are exceedingly
bright, and, relieved of 'untoward con-
ditions, the farmer is already counting
his bank roll, planning for more ex-
tensive operations for next year, and
figuring on paying out for his farm.
He is calculating what the increased
value of his holdings, as result of
successful crop, will add to his assets.
Already some fields Of wheat have been
harvested, barley has been cut. and
the yield is above his expectation. In
fact, the feeling at the time of writing
is that never in the history of any
country on the continent has there
been such prospect of large aver
lage crop, all over the three central
provinces of Canada as will be harvest

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials of the
department estimate that Of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 731s
billion tons; of anthracite 461 mill
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
OF coal now annually mined in Canada
is about 12 million tons. With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
of "A billion tons, it would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. If
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 1855 years. OF
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but 1t will be
good many years before the quantity
of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500,000,000 tons. At that rate 1t
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end Of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up Of about four hundred thousand per.
sons year (and 1t looks now as If this
number would be reached this year)
