Canada is the fairest and richest
daughter in the family OF the British
empire From north to south she is
400 miles. and from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific Ocean she is $500 miles.
She comprises onc-third OF the area of
the empire. and her surface is studded
with fertile plains, towering cragEy
mountains whose roots are frequently
clothed with forests. and from whose
brows even the strongest darts of the
sun cannot drive away the snow which
fnds a safe intrenchment in the fur
rows that are there. Mighty rivers
run along the valleys and bear the
weight OF commerce on their backs.
Forests cover huge areas and are a
protection for birds Of myriad colored
plumage and big and little game that
make the country haunt for the
sportsman. Gigantic lakes and min
iaturc lakes jewel with silver the
emerald. gold copper dye Of the
landscape. Amid these scenes the
finest fruits and crops in the world
are produced.

States to and through Canada are af-
