JOINED BY GOLD STRANDS.
American Capital VIII Finance Cana
da for Years to Come.

The great turopcan war has cut Cana
da off from the million dollars a day she
was borrowing for development purposes
from British capital This capital is
as necessary for her development as
British capital was necessary for the
development of the American West at
ter the Civil war. Canada is to-day OBJ
tanning her national, provincial and mu-
ncpal loans in the United States, and
it may be expected as result Of the
war that all Canada's borrowings will
be effected in the United states for the
next % years. Not one armed fort cx-
lists between the two countries for Dor
der will he criss-crossed by an in,erweav-
ing of gold strands.
Before the war American capital
owned three quarters of Canada's stand
ing timber. two-thirds of her coal mines
more than half her grain elevators and
by direct or indirect control. an cnor-
nous proportion of the working mines.
These holdings have been increased since
the outbreak of the war; many English
holders have had to let 60 of their in
vestments at a sacrifice.
Canada is the only part of North
America with a great untouched reser-
Voir of natural resources. She will be
one of the few countries still having
free land.
Capital is as secure in Canada as in
the United States Capital is Guaran-
tocd protection and security as it is not
say, in Mexico. This means that
American capital and industry will con-
tinue to pour into Canada after the war,
Canada lacks winter port on the At
lantic; and this year has sent 50 per
cent. of her vast exports out by way
of American ports. Canada is now rails
ing half as much spring wheat the
United States. Within a few years, she
will be raising as much, and half her
crop must 20 to market by way of the
Pacific coast. When that day comes,
Canada will he one of the largest users
of the Panama canal.--World Outlook.

THE SNAKES ARE AWAKENED
By Terrific Thunder Storm The First
of Spring.

Any snake in snakedom who was
not awakened this morning between 4
and O'Clock by the terrific peals Of
thunder that accompanied the vivio
flashes OF lightning is certainly dead
for all time.
A real summer thunder storm broke
over this city before daylight. The
lightning flashed the thunder rolled.
and the food gates Of heaven were
opened for a downpour Of rain that
was little less than a deluge.
Streets were flooded from curb to
curb, and and anyone out of doors at
that time must have been soaked to
the skin. The first thunder storm OF
spring is said TO awaken the snakes
that have been alternating ali winter.
This mornings storm certainly dai
the thing ana there is danger. Of see
ing things if those foul creatures OF
the dust take it into their heads to
come out for an airing.
