THE BANKS
OF CANADA

The closing Of the year 1912 has
brought out the usual bank statements
accompanied by the addresses of the
Presidents and General Managers of
these institutions. Their reading is
interesting as they show in striking
manner the prosperity of the country,
and deal with economic matters In a
first hand way. Those who know any.
thing of Canadian banking methods
know the stability of these institu-
tons, and the high character of the
men who are placed in charge In
discussing the land situation the Pres
ident of the onion Bank of Canada,
whose branches are to be found in all
parts of the Canadian West, said:-
"a good deal has been said about
speculation in land The increase in
land values has added enormously to
the assets of Western business, and
has to some extent formed basis for
extended credit, but this is not felt to
be drawback when the value is real
and convertible. We consider that
business, standing which is strength
ened and enhanced by property hold
ings is entitled to reasonable en-
largement of credit for legitimate bust
ness operations"
1t will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise in the value
of farm lands in Western Canada.
When the facts are known of the won
derfol producing qualities of farm
lands in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, 1t is sim
pie to understand the liberal stand
taken by the banks.
Living not far from Lashburn, Sask.,
is a farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured a crop of Marquis Wheat.
yielding 76 bushels per acre. This
Is spoken of as a record yield, and this
Is doubtless true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost as large have been pro-
duced, and in different parts of the
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields Of
from 35 to As bushels of wheat to the
acre. Oats, too, were success
full crop, and so was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre. would bring on the
market zoe Ia fair figure) per bushel,
a gross return Of $500 per acre. Al
low $1,000 per acre ian outside figure)
there would be a'balance of $1,000 per
acre net profit This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $4,000 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $3.50 to $500
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate of four hun
bred thousand of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. OF this number
200, 900 will be from the United States
Most of these are of tho farming class
and 1t is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will ad-
vance from ten to twenty per cent
within the next twelve months. There
fore investment in Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free homesteads In
Canada will acquire in the intrinsic
value of the land alone the best pos
sible start for a splendid future. Ad-
vertisement.

A British syndicate, including among
its members an ex-lord mayor, Sir
Marcus Samuel, is reported to have
acquired the rights to the new engine
for Great Britain. Three cargo boats
have already been ordered and plans
made for a fleet, including passenger
vessels up to tonnage of $4,000 and
a speed of twenty-five knots. This am
bilious program is based, it appears,
on engines in a German warship. 1t
has been known for some months that
the naval authorities of several coun-
tries were experimenting with oil en-.
gines, and last spring the announce
ment appeared that the British adj

therefore, that some of the courage Of
the new syndicate has been obtained
through knowledge of successful naval
experiments at home.

Virgins SUFFERS
Destructive fire
PLANT OF THE AMERICAN PICKLE
AND, CANNING FACTORY CON-
& PLETELY DESTROYED.
Special 10 The Nesos.

:
Virgins. Miss. May 2S.-The Amer
lean Canning and Pickle Factory. To-
Gated at this place burned Monday
night about 10 o'clock. The loss up
to this time has not been fully esti-
mated. but 1t Is thought that $4,000
will cover it. The factory, all equip
ment. vats. machinery, etc., we're to-
tally destroyed. The fire produced a
very spectacular scene as the blue and
green flames from the burning salt
and chemicals shot toward the sky.
Great confusion was caused, and the
crowd cleared for half mile around
when It was learned that the boilers
we're dry and might explode at any
time; however, no harm was done
from this.
The ground is being cleared for re-
building and the factory will again be
in running order by the time the bulk
OF the produce from the truck farmers
is ready for marketing.
1t is not known how the fire origi
mated as the flames had gained consid
cradle Roadway when the fire was dis
covered.
The yearly loss by fire In Virgins
is something enormous. Only three
years ago the entire town was SWEEP
away by fire. but better buildings arose
from the ashes and the town is II
better condition now than then.
