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 q striking
manner the prosperity of the country,
and deal with economic matters In q
first hand way. Those who know any.
thing Of Canadian banking methods
know the stability of these institu-
tions, and the high character Of the
men who are placed in charge. In
discussing the land situation the Pres,
iaent of the Union 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 q drawback when the value Is real
and convertible. We consider that a
business standing which 10 strength
ened and enhanced by property hold
ings Is entitled to a reasonable en-
largement of credit for legitimate bust.
ness operations"
II 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
derful 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 q farmer named Clarke who In 1912
secured crop of Marquis Wheat,
yielding 75 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 a success
full crop, and SO was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre. would bring on the
market 70c Ia fair figure> per bushel.
q gross return of $2S.00 per acre. AL.
low $1,000 per acre Tan outside figure)
there would be 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.
dred thousand of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. or this number
100000 will be from the United States.
Most OF these are of the farming class
and It 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 q splendid future. Ad.

FORMAL CHARGES
HAVE BEEN FILED
MEYER ARRESTED FOR PER.
JURY AND ACCUSATION RE.
vIvED AGAINST FARRIs.
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
RECORD Of Attorney General Chal.
Ienged In Brief Which Alleges
Prosecuting Official Failed
In Criminal Charges.

Jan. 21.-Oklahoma's official scan
del Is now under good headway with
the following developments:
State Auditor Leo Meyer was ar.
rested upon complaint of Attorney
General West charging perjury, and
the charge Of forgery against State
Printer Giles Farris was revived.
The house committee ON impeach.
ment and removal held a long execu.
tive session at which Attorney Gen.
eral West made a statement of his
charges against State Printer Giles
w. Farris, and State Printer Giles
w. Farris filed formal answer to the
attorney generals charges, alleging
that the latter is himself liable to i'm.
peachment for the methods he Is fol.
lowing in attempting to prosecute
others.
The house Of representatives ap-
pointed a special committee of three,
Representatives Curry, Halsell and
Parkhurst, to take up the charge of
"prodigality" on the part OF the at
torney general in handling the $177,-
600 he is alleged to have spent In his
department since statehood.
The house committee on judiciary,
to whom have gone the forty-odd 'in-
vestigating" resolutions introduced in
that body, are hard at work in the
meantime, and now are expected to
report any day, and 1t is understood
that a general and thorough inves-
tigation Of several departments, at
least, will be recommended. also the
manner in which Investigations should
be made. There is less likelihood
now than a few days ago that this
report will be sensational, due to the
fact that the proceedings before the
committee on impeachment and re-
moval has drawn much Of the fire.
Procedure Considered.
At the executive session of the i'm
peachment committee plans Of pro-
cedure were tentatively suggested, and
Attorney General Charles West made
q long statement, but not under oath,
as to what he expects to prove to the
committee.
During the debate on the resolution,
Representative Morris arose to point
OF personal privilege to take excep-
tion to a quotation attributed to At
torney General West to the effect that
The resolutions directed at him by
Representative Morris and others had
been inspired by State Auditor Leo
Meyer" Representative Morris said
that such was not the case; that the
platform upon which he had been sent
to the legislature pledged him to the
very line Of procedure relative to in
vestigations and criticisms of prodi-
gality in office he was following.
Reply to Farris.
The formal reply of State Printer
Giles w. Farris to the accusations by
Attorney General West was filled with

EGYPT'S GREEN SUN.
A Phenomenon That Was Commented
Upon by the Ancients.

The appearance of green light at
sunset was noticed and commented
upon by the ancient Egyptians and
more particularly so because in the
clear air of Egypt the tints of sunset
are peculiarly distinct
As the sun there descends nearer
and nearer to the horizon and is i'm
mensey enlarged and flaming it sud
denly becomes for an instant bril-
liantlv green color. and Immediately Il
series of green rays suffuses the sky in
many directions, well night TO The re
NTH. The same phenomenon appears at
sunrise. but to ii smaller extent. Some
times, Just as the last part of the SUM
disk vanishes, its color changes from
green to blue, and so also after 1t has
disappeared the sky near the horizon
often is green, while toward the zenith
it is blue.
This was aluded to in Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem of life
and night that of death, and the noe
turnal sun, being Identified with Osiris
thus rendered Osiris king of the dead
The setting sun was green; therefore
Osiris, as the nocturnal deity of the
dead, was painted green. The splendid
collins of the high priests of Ammon
frequently depict the green sun, and
the funeral deities are all colored
green.
There are imfumerable instances III
the Egyptian relics of representations
relative to death being colofed green
The practice undoubtedly arose from
the green TINS Of sunrise and sunset
The green sun disk is referred to 3,WH
years ago in Egypt This is the earl
est known human record of an as
tronomlca phenomenon.
