Every railroad town ever opened up
in Canada has taken a jump from 100
to 1900 per cent in the value of it's

came. and the prospects in Fort Fraser
are recognized to be just as bright.
With the railroad so close. and the
town site of Fort Fraser splendidly
situated on the main line Of the regis

doubt that 1t is destined to be a won

Favorable developments again ap-

Industries, in aggregate payments
through the banks and in the record of
trading defaults--all being testimony
to expanding trade and growing con-
hdence. Activity, as a whole, has de-

able weather, although higher temper
ature is necessary to broader sweep

Mercantile collections generally are
easier. money circulates more freely In
the West and country merchants have
become less hesitant in placing orders.
The wholesale markets for staples rec
ord a large attendance of buyers from

not lessened the selections OF spring
