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 degree of con- fort and pleasure to the visitor, con- 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 or 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  taken pains to make every step of the tourists entry into Canada one that will give the very least degree of trou- ble. 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 the 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 it 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 Grea' Britain, affects only persons "ordinar fly resident in Great Britain"
 Americans and British subjects resi- dent in the United States who de sire to visit Canada will find no mor' trouble at the border than they hav' experienced in the past, and upon ar irving they will be made as welcom' as ever. ss War conditions of any kint will not inconvenience or interfer with them.
 The immigration authorities sus 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 1t is impossible to visl Europe, the planning of your vacatio trip through Canada is one to giv consideration to. The Government ha taken an active interest in its NJ
 tional Parks in the heart of the Rock
 mountains. These can be reached
 any of the lines of railways, and th
 officials at these parks have been at
 vised to render every attention to th
 visiting tourists, who in addition to SCI
 ing the most wonderful scenery in th
 woodworking grander-nOthing be
 ter-have excellent wagon and mott
 roads, taking them into the utter T.
 cesses of what was at one time col
 sidered practically inaccessible.
 In addition to this the tourist wi

 abilities that will be before him as |

 Western Provinces. The immens
