CANADIAN 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 a degree OF COM
fort and pleasure to the visitor, COM
bining the best efforts Of man with the
very best gifts of creation, has now
the satisfaction of seeing an apprecia-
ton of the efforts they have made.
Tourists returning from 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? That the
wonders that Canada possesses in Its
natural parks may become more easily
accessible and afterward talked about,
that a 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-
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 dithculty
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 ="
the attention of the tourist and others
that no difficulty could be placed In
the way of their admission, there stik
remained doubt in the minds of some.
Only the other day the Government
took action again, and authorized the
statement that no measures taken Tor
recruiting the forces either have Deen
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 conscription is applied in Great
Britain, affects only persons "ordinar'
lily resident in Great Britain"
Americans and British subjects resi-
dent in the United Sttctes who de
sire to visit Canada will find no more
trouble at the border than they have
experienced in the past, and upon or
irving they will be made As welcome
as ever. War conditions OF any kline
will not inconvenience or interfere
with them.
The immigration authorities suG
gest that, as a precaution against in
convenience, naturalized American
whose country of origin was one o
those at war with the British empire
should provide themselves with thei
certificates of naturalization.
Now that it Is Impossible to viSi
Europe, the planning of yoHS vacation
trip through Canada is one to Civ,
consideration to. The Government ha
taken an active interest in its Ma
tional Parks in the heart of the Rock!
mountains. These can be reached b.
any of the lines of railways, and tn
officials at these parks have been nd
