HARD TIMES IN
THE NORTHWEST
Thomas Namack Declares That
Affairs Are Stagnant There

That affairs in the Canadian North
west, generally painted 10y real estate
companies from that district i'm the
brightest of colors. are really of a more
somber hue. is the statement of Thorn
as NamaCk who is here ahead of
Maude Adams in Peter Pan" which
will play at the Kcrredge theater Aug
INST 10.
Mr.. Namack has just concluded a
long tour through the Northwest. His
company played that district this sum-
mer and he gives it anything but a
favorable stamp Thinks in that dis
trict were begun on a too lavish scale,
Mr.. Namack declares Businesses were
founded on a scale which in the opin-
ion of their owners would place them
now where general business conditions
would be five years hence.
Mr. Namac< declared that he saw
any number Of big buildings in CAL
gary and Edmonton half completed
and work on which had been suspend
cd owing Ia the hard times The real
estate offices occupied about half of
the buildings in town and none of
them were doing a bit of business. The
banks under orders from the home in
stitution, the bank of England, were
loaning no money the Balkan wars
having had much tn do with this order.
dependent on the unsettled financial
condition OF Europe, and every one
seemed To be without ready cash.
Wages were very high there but the
cost of living was even more so. In
feriur articles of food sold for three
times what the best grades retail at
here ana board and room of a not par
ticulariy sumptuous sort was quoted
at $l2O per month. a glass of beer up
there rctailed at fifteen cents and ev-
erything else was in proportion. Mr..
Namack characterized it as a regular
busted boom" He declared that while
big money had beyond all doubt been
made there by those who were on the
ground early. the opportunities today
were net superior to those that can be
found in any American city, and in
many cases, not as good.
The winters are far colder than is
generally thought and while it is true
that there is little snow, the cold is
more severely felt for that reason.
Mr.. Namack told the story Of the
The Prince of Tonight company
which comes here this month and
which was playing that district about
the time he WAS there. The company
had n hard time of it and when they
reentcrcd the United States, the entire
company gathered together at the first
stop over the border and sang Amer
lea" aud the star Spanglcd Banner
To- show their delight at getting back
To this country Mr.. Namack declared
that the big political question of the
day up there is still reciprocity which
has long since become a dead issue
in this country. ON the whole Mr. Ma
mack was not well impressed with
Canada.
There are any number of copper
country people in Edmonton and Cal
gary which Mr. Namack declares are
The two most affected places. Their
letters convey in general way much
the same impression that Mr.. Namack
gathered ana their communications
back home have undoubtedly kept
many more copper country people
from setting in that district.
