CANADIAN I CROPS. ? !
EXCELLENT
Returning Tourists Speak Well
Of Their Treatment in
Canada.

The Canadian Government. having
made extensive preparations during
the last few years to impart to the
National Park system q degree Of CON-
fort and pleasure to the visitor, COLL
bining the best efforts Of man with the
very best gifts Of creation, has now
the satisfaction OF seeing an apDrecia-
tion Of the efforts they have made.
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 and
stream. For what purpose? That the
wonders that Canada possesses In Its
natural parks may become more easily
accessible and afterward talked abOut
that q tourist travel through Canada
would result. Tourist travel means
business. and 1t is business that Can
ada seeks. To make II even more easy
for this travel, the Government has
taken pains to make every step Of the
tourists entry with Canada one that
will give the very least degree Of trou-
hle. On crossing the border. there Is
only the ordinary examination q bag
gage. and the only precaution n that
In the case Of foreign aliens, and even
In their case there Is no difficulty
when the 0fIicials are satisfied that
they are not attempting entry as enc
niles.
Although officials Of the Government
have taken every means to bring to
the attention Of the tourist and others
that no diniculty could he 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 1T the Do
miniOn. Nor Ii Il the intention to ask
for volunteers except from among Brit
ish subjects. resident In Canada. More
over. the Military Service Act, under
which conscription Is applied In Great
Britain. affects only persons -"ordinar-
ily resident In Great Britain"
Americans and British subjects resi-
dent In the United States who de-
sire to visit Canada will hnd no more
trouble at the border than they have
experienced In the past. and upon ar
riving they will be made as welcome
N ever War conditions of any kind
will not Inconvenience or interfere
with them.
The immigration authorities sug-
gest that, as precautiOn against In
convenience, naturalized Americans
whose country OF origin was one Of
those ut 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 its Ma
tional Parks in the heart Of the Rocky
mountains. Theae can he reached by
any Of the lines Of railways, and the
odicials at these parks have been ad-
vised to fender every attention to the
visiting touristA, who in addition to see
ing the most wonderful scenery in the
world-nothinE grsnder-nothing bet
ter-have excellent wagon and motor
roadB, taking them into the utter re-
cesses Of what was at one time con-
d0efed practically Inaccessible.
