ton project, which will bring under cul-
tivation a most fertile district of many
square miles. Towns and cities along
its line are springing up like mush-
rooms.
One of the most wonderful cities in
which the greatest advance in recent
years is being made is Calgary in Al
berta. Mr. Sanborn believes it is high
time that the people of the United
States should wakeup TO the fact that
Canada is a great country, and that
great things are being done there no
greater, however, than are now being
accomplished by our people on the Pa
ciGc Coast and the great Northwest.
Notwithstanding all this, Mr.. San
born said there is no spot on earth com
parable to the little state Of Delaware,
nor any place on earth more favored by
nature. No true Delawarean would care
10 live either in the great west OF in
Canada if they we're presented with the
whole country and forced to live there.
