EXCELLENT
Returning Tourists Speak wen
of Their Treatment in
Canada.

The Canadian Government, having
made extensive preparations durlhE
the last few years to impart TO the
National Park system degree OF COIN
fort and pleasure to the visitor CON-
bining the best efforts of man with Tue
very best gifts of creation, has no"
the satisfaction of seeing an apprecia'
ton of the efforts they have maze
Tourists returning from a trip over
the Canadian Pacific, the Grand trunk
Pacific and the Canadian Northern
railways speak enthusiastically OF the
beauties that are revealed as THESE
roads enter and pass through the
mountains. The Government has spent
enormous sums of money laying out
roads, and developing easy means OF
access to glacier, hill, valley, lake ana
stream. For what purpose? Ihat the
wonders that Canada possesses IN us
natural parks may become more easily
accessible and afterward talked about,
that a tourist travel through Canada
would result. Tourist travel means
business, and 1t is business that Can
ada seeks. To make 1t even more easy
for this travel, the Government has
taken pains to make every step or the
tourists entry into Canada one that
will give the very least degree of trou-
Bile. On crossing the border, there Is
only the ordinary examination of bag
gage, and the only precaution is that
in the case of foreign aliens, and even
In their case there Is no difficulty
when the officials are satisfied that
they are not attempting entry as enc
mics.
Although officials Of the Government
have taken every means to bring to
the attention of fhe tourist and others
that no difficulty could be placed in
the way of their admission, there still
remained doubt in the minds of some.
Only the other day the Government
took action again, and authorized the
statement that no measures taken for
recruiting the forces either have been
or will be applied to any persons who
are not ordinarily resident in the Do
minion. Nor is 1t the intention to ask
for volunteers except from among Brit
ish subjects, resident in Canada. More
| over, the Military Service Act, under
| which CONSUMPTION Is applied in Great
Britain, affects only persons ''ordinar-
lily resident in Great Britain"
Americans and British subjects resi-
| dent In the United States who de-
sire to visit Canada will find no more
trouble at the border than they have
experienced in the past, and upon ar
irving they will be made as welcome
as ever. War conditions of any kind
will not inconvenience or interfere
with them.
| The immigration authorities sug-
gest that, asa precaution against in
convenience, naturalized Americans
whose country Of origin was one of
those at war with the British empire,
should provide themselves with their
certificates Of naturalization.
| Now that 1t Is impossible to visit
Europe, the planning of your vacation
trip through Canada is one to give
consideration to. The Government has
taken an active interest in it's Ma
tional Parks in the heart of the Rocky
mountains. These can be reached nv
any of the lines of railways, and the
officials at these parks have been adj
v1sef TO render every attention to the
visiting tourists, who in addition to see
ing the most wonderful scenery in the
woodworking grander-nothing bet
ter-have excellent wagon and motor
roads. taking them into the utter re-
cesses Of what was at one time con-
sidered practically inaccessible.
In addition to this the tourist will
not be inactive to the practical DOS
sibilities that will be before him as ha
passes over the great plains of the
Western Provinces. The immense
wheat fields, bounded by the horizon.
no matter how far you travel. The
wide pasture lands. giving home and
food to thousands of heads of horses
and cattle. The future of a country
that he before only heard of but knew
so little about, will be revealed to him
in the most wonderful panorama. and
imprinted In the lens of his brain IN
such way that he will bring back
with him the story of the richness Of
Agricultural Western Canada. And
he will also have had an eniovah,s
outing. -Advertisement.
