TRADE REVIVAL IN
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown In the Returns Of 49,
ricuIturaI Statistics and
Every Department Of
Trade and Com.
merCe.

The trade revival in Manitoba. Sas-
katchewan and Alberta is an actually
and not q myth. There is today .
spirit OF optimism in the air. Just ~
two years ago there prevailed the op-
posite spirit of pessimism
A general trade revival has been
felt In every department of business In
the Prairie Provinces. The agricul
turists are In better shape than they
have ever been before In their lives.
No farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in a more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers OF Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested record crop-a crop which
enriches them TO the extent OF some
thing over s4O0,OO0,OO0.
In the cities the prosperity OF the
country has been reflected. Every
where business ia on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good.
The banks and other collection houses
find collections satisfactory. and fnan-
cial men declare that westerners are
paying up their debts In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the Iarg-
est In history, exceeding some weeks
the figures Of Montreal and Toronto.
The grain shipments have been the
biggest In the history OF Winnipeg and
In the history OF the twin ports. Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mail
order houses have had big year, the
rush Of fall orders exceeding all previ-
GUS years and taxing the capacity Of
these establishments, whose most san
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.
The tide has turned In western Can
ada. The people OF the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead In actual
production and in creation OF wealth.

The financial heads OF eastern Canada.
OF the United States and OF Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstIntedly Offering
their praise and their compliments
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada.
and 1t has been published to the world.
I The condition OF western Canada At
the close OF 1915 is one OF optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter

have already established.
The trade revival OF western Canada
Is the happiest feature In the business

Denver.-That the storage of liquor
will be lawful only in three places
under the prohibition penalty law was
the chief development brought out at
the meeting of district attorneys and
sheriffs of the state to determine uni
form methods of enforcing the law.
The law specifically allows the
keeping of liquor in retail drug
stores and wholesale drug houses.
By intimation 1t permits the keep
Ing of liquor in private homes be

shall be issued for the search of a
private residence.
Persons, however, who have beeg,
contemplating storing liquor outside
their homes for personal use will be
disappointed, They may lawfully keep
liquor for personal Use only in their
homes.
II was suggested by NJ. w. Purcell
OF Colorado Springs. president OF the
District Attorneys Association, that
under the ordinary criminal law, con
strued In conjunction with the pro.
hibition measure. the buying of liquor
by citizen from boot,egger might
make the citizen liable to prosecution
as an accessory to the crime of the II,
legal sale.
To this District Attorney Davidson
of Pueblo demurred holding that the
sale was the only Illegal action and
that the purchase was an entirely diff
ferent action.
Several other prosecutors. however,
agreed with President Purcell.
II was also brought out that the
common law limitation preventing the
serving of search warrants between
sunrise and sunset will apply to the

 ture for Friday and Saturday.

As the great ship shivered and groaned, I thought of my neighbor' s wife. I rushed to her staterOom and there found her helpless ] gathered her into my arms and with her leaped into the sea. When she awoke her mind was disarranged from the shock and she thought I was her husband. In her strange madness she called me by her husbands name and gave me all the love she had for him. In the jungle we made our home and she came to me as she had always come to her husband and I prayed for strength in my hour of dire temptation.
 Did the woman. who later came to a realization of her situation. again find her husbadn she so dearly loved, or did she succumb to fate. View this wonderful drama at the Breed and find the answer.
 In addition to this feature the Breed will present Raymond Hitchcock in three reel comedy, "A Wonderful Wag- err With the full and complete Leon Washburn Circus of more than forty cars, elephants, tigers, Hons, camels and the entire working force; with forty frame dwelling houses destroyed bv fire for a punch scene" with the Ford Fvliverer" as subject from which to draw comedy and with the on1 Raymond Hitchcock in the leading role this three reel feature has been released and is unanimously endorsed as one of the most Imaginable films ever presented.

Big Bill of Feature PhotopIays Today
 and Saturday.

As a feature attraction for today and tomorrow the management of the Au- ditorium has secured the Morosco- Paramount production, The Code of Marcia Gray, with Constance Collier In |; the leading role, supported by an aIl- star cast.
 There are many forms of moral honor, and every woman has her own individual code of ethics to govern various situations. The code of Mar cia Gray, the basis for the Oliver Morosco photoplay of that name, will win ready sympathy. Suddenly de- prfved of her life of refinement and luxury by the cowardice of her hus- band at a crucial moment she finds but one solace-Orlando Castle-her former sweetheart and friend of her husband Marcia's code met a great and unexpected test-not from the usual triangle of two men and a wom- an-but in what makes one of the strong. human moments in a charm ing production.
 The wonderful personality of Con- stance Collier as Marcia Gray makes her part one of universal appeal Ev- cry women will find in the great crisis in Marcia Grays life a marvelOusly exact duplication of what she would have to do, and experience, should she meet the same problem.
 The eighth episode of the weird se- rial The Mysteries of Myra, featuring Jean Southern and Howard EstabroOk, will be shown in two reels, and also one of the famous animal comedy pie
