CANADIAN CROPS
EXCELLENT
Returning Tourists Speak Well
OF Their Treatment in
Canada.

The Canadian Government, hayins
made extensive preparations during
the last few years to lmpart to the
National Park system n degree OF com.
tort and pleasure to the visitor, COM
dining the best efforts Of man with the
very best gifts Of creation, has now
the satisfaction of seeing an %npprccia-
ton Of the efforts they have made.
Tourists returning from II trip over
the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk
Pacific and the Canadian Northern
railways speak enthusiastically Of the
beauties that are revealed rs 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 afterwnrd talked about
that n tourist travel through Canada
would result. Tourist travel means
business, and II Is business that Can
ndn seeks. To make IL ever more easy
for this travel. the Government has
taken pains TO make every step OF the
tourists entry into Canada II that
will give the very least degree Of trou-
BILE. On crossing the border. there Is
only the ordinary examination OF bag
guge, and the only precnutlon IL that
In the case OF foreign aliens, and even
In their case there Is no difficulty
when the officials are satisfied hat
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 aud 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 Ia the Do
minlon. Nor Is 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 "ordlnar-
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 Ia the past, and upon ar
irving they will be made us welcome
as ever. War conditions OF any kind
will not inconvenience or interfere
with them.
The immigration authorities sug-
gest that, as n precautiOn against in
convenience, naturallzed 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 II 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 Pnrks In the heart OF the Rocky
ilOunluinS. these can Dp TclcIpl by
any Of the lines Of railways, and the
officials at these parks have been ad-
yISed 20 render every attention To- the
visiting tourists, who In addition To see

sidered practically inaccessible.
In addition TO this the tourist will
not be Inactive TO the practical pos.

passes over the great plains Of the
Western Provinces. The immense
wheat folds, bounded by the horizon,
no matter how far you travel. The
wide pasture lands, giving home and
food 10 thousands Of heads Of horses
and cattle. The future of n country
that h. before only heard NJ but knew
50 little about, will be revealed TO him
Ia the most wonderful panorama, and
imprinted In the lens Of his brain In
such n way that he will bring back
with him the story o.; the richness OF
Agricultural Western Canada. And
