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 or
these institutions. Their reading In

manner the prosperity of the country.
and deal with economic matters in
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

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 t.
be drawback when the value is res
and convertible We consider that
business standing which is strengt
ened and enhanced by property he
ings is entitled to a reasonable
largement of credit for legitimate bu
ness operations"
It will thus be seen that the ban

When the facts are known OF the We
derful producing qualities Of IA

crop. Wheat that would yield 41
bushels per acre. would bring on the
market zoe "a fair figure) per busheI
a gross return of $500 per acre. A
low $1,000 per acre Gan outside figure
there would be balance OF $1,000 pc.
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. OF 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 hoBesteads in
Canada will acquire in the intrinsic
value of the land alone the best pos
sible start for splendid future. Ad-
vertisement.

 The trip was made possible by the cutting of a canal through the Gu curacha slide. the last obstruction which has delayed the work on con meeting the oceans. Dredges have been at work on the barrier for days and have made passage through the slide which Is now forty-tive feet deep. The dredges will complete the work of widening the channel at this point, and in case of necessity a large ship could be sent from ocean to ocean on very short notice.

Gently decided to revert to the

the lands in large bodies after it
is determined tha. they are nom
irrigable, as required by the law.
He has accordingly issued appro-
pirate instruction to the Geolog-

under the Department with the
preparation of the lists of lands
enterable under this law. This
change will have the effect of
greatly expediting the designa-
ton of lands under this law.

TO IMPROVE LAWS
Land Department To Make Life
Easier for The
Honyock

For the last year or more pub
lie lands in the Western States
have been designated by the
Secretary of the Interior as SUBJ
ject to entry under the so-called
enlarged homestead act, or the
32O-acre homestead act, only on
petition of those who desire to
avail themselves of the provi-
sions of the law. This proceed
ure was an outgrowth of the de-
sire of the Department to desig-
nate no lands which were not
actually enterable under the law
in question, In order to accomp-
!ish this end the status Of each
tract had to I've investigated to
determine whether it was already
entered, was a school section,
was involved in a State selection
or for any other reason had been
taken out of the class of "unap-
propriated" public lands which
alone are enterable under this
act. This search meant that with
the meager force available to the
Department only slow progress
could be made in the designation
of lands for entry under the law.
\ Soon after the passage of the
act lands had been designated
for entry under it in body with
out regard to their status, the
only questions determined by the
Department prior 10 designation
being that the lands were SUR
.veyed, unreserved, and ronirrig-
able. Under this mode of pro-
cedure designations can be made
with comparative rapidity, the
availability of the lands for entry
being determined by the appli-
cant when he visits the local land
Office to file upon his claim. And
after the abandonment of this
early procedure the law was ex-
tended to apply to North Dakota
The 1ule ofde ,ignation by petition
has been followed in that State,
and the resulting delays have
proved embarrassing both to the
Depal tment and to the citizens
Of North Dakota, as we'll as to
those Of other Western States.
At tn suggestion of Senator
