The Canadian Government. having
made extensive preparations during
the last few years to impart to the
National Park system IA degree Of corn.

bining the best efforts OF man with the
very best gifts of creation. has now

Tourists returning from a trip over
the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunli
Pacific and the Canadian Northern
railways speak enthusiastically OF the
beauties that are revealed rs thes1
roads enter and pass through thu
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 Il tourist travel through Canada
would result. Tourist travel means
business, and it is business that Can,
ada seeks. To make it even more easy
for this travel, the Government has
taken pains to make every step OF the
tourists entry into Canada one that
will give the very least degree of trou
bic. On crossing the border, there is
only the ordinary examination of bag
gage, and he only %precaution is that
in the case of foreign aliens, and eve
in their case there is no difficulty
when the officials are satisfied thai
they are not attempting entry as enc
mics.
Although officials of the Government
have taken every means to bring to
the attention of the tourists and other.
that no difficulty could be placed il
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 thu
statement that no measures taken fol
recruiting the forces either have bees
or will be applied to any persons wht
are not ordinarily resident in the Do
minion. Nor is it the intention to ash
for volunteers except from among Brit
ish subjects, resident in Canada. More
over, the Military Service Act, under
which conservation is applied in Grea;
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 NOR
trouble at the border than they hav,
experienced in the past, AMI upon ar

The immigration authorities sug
gest that. as a p%recaution against in

whose country of origin was one OF
those at wa with the British empire,
should provide themselves with thei1
certificates of naturalization.
Now that it 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 by
any of the lines of railways, and the
officials at these parks have been adj.
vised to render every attention to the
visiting tourists who in addition to see

cesses of what was at one time con,
sidered practically inaccessible.
In addition to this the tourist will
not be inactive to the practical pos
sibilities that will be before him as he
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
sue ha way that he will bring back
with him the story OF the richness of
Agricultural Western Canada. And
