Some of those who are of executive au-

railroads have recently been in New York
and have spoken with apparent SINGER

conditions which prevail, as they say, in
western Canada and in the vicinity of
Puget Sound. They have been persuad-

are confident that the opening of the
Panama canal to navigation is to be of
great commercial benefit to western Can
ada. The stimulus which the canal will
give to a certain trade furnished by
western Canada will produce results that
will go far toward offsetting the some-
what depressing conditions that now ex-
