Canadians were also taking a trip
abroad, spending the Christmas sea-

old land. The Scandinavian element
participated largely in the holiday
husineas Of the railroads and the
steamships, but they all had return
tickets. Early in December the east
bound trains and boats were loaded,
and an estimate furnished by the rail-
road people gave upwards Of twelve
thousand as the number who would
mako the Christmas holiday visit
abroad. This does not mean that these
people are leaving to avoid the cold
ness of the winter, nor for any eli
matte conditions whatever. They
have come out to Canada and have
done so we'll that they can afford the
hundred and fifty or two hundred dol
lars or more that it takes to carry
them across and back. When they
came to Canada they did not have
that much money all told, but now
they are wealthy and on their return
will bring some of their friends with

Then there are those, too, who on
their wheat farms have made sufi-
