OUR BROTHER OF THE NORTJL
On the boundary line between Can
ada and the Unltod States there
stands no fort. From ocean to ocean
the line ruus unguarded, the league
long furrows of the Canadian prairies
touch the border where the league-
long furrows of the American prai
ries begin, wnere the line crosses
the great mountain spine no fortlflca-
tlons crown the helghtB or command
the valleys: there has been no fear In
men's hearts to set them raising bul
warks one against the other.
Over the line Canadians and
Americans fraternize as neighbors
do over the back fence. Sometimes
they cross from one side and settle
on the other. The stocky Kanuck
from Quebec province moves into
Maine ami raises his log Iiouhg among
the pines, ranchers from Montana
and Dakota go northward to till the
rich plains of Alberta and Manitoba
They Intermarry and the children are
Canadians or Americans, they might
Just es well be one as tho other.
For there Is no lurking suspicion,
no veiled distrust between us and our
. brother of the north. We are of tho
same race, live by the same ideals,
worship the same God. Of all our na
tional relationships our closest is
with him. Ho is not only bur near
est neighbor but he Is our no a rout of
kin. We have had jars with him
disagreements that happen In tlio
best of families quarrelled and
mado up, shaking hands across the
line In sportsmanlike goodfellowshlp.
There have been times whon we en
vied him tho riches of his vast em
pire yot to come, his well administer
ed laws, his thrifty competence whore
wo have been carelesB and slovenly,
his sturdy honoBty. Our younger
brother was doing a good many
things better than we were and II
made us sore.
Tho Teutonic mind has made ond
loss blunders, but none greater than
that tho British colonlos would not
respond to tho mother country's cry
for help. Anyone who knows the
Dominion, who has sojourned there
and come to understand its strong
soulcd people, knew what Its roply
would be. Neither genorntlons or
govornmont nor time nor distance
could weaken the old1 tics or the old
loyalty. And deeper than tho call of
the blood was the Instinct to flght for
what made life possible freedom in
a free world. The Canadians rose
from desk and bench, locked the shop
and closed the ledger, left tho plow
In the furrow nnd the pick In tho
mine broast, not alone to help Eng
land In her need, but to preserve tho
creed that their race hns lived by
since John met the Barons at Runny
mode. What our brother of tho north did
In France and Flanders Is now mat
tor of history. Writ lnrgor than
the Plains of Abraham are Ypres and
Ivoos, from this time forth names of
heroic Invocation. We followed his
splendid, bloody progrosa, with a tug
at tho heart and a longing to bo be
side htm, sharing the anguish and
tho glory, proving oursalvos of the
same Invincible spirit. Our waiting
became Intolerable whllo he, the
yomigor, mado his magnificent effort
showing us the way. And now we aro
there, shouhlor to shoulder with him,
ni lost Droiuers in the held, as we
havo always been brothers In blood,
in aspiration, in all that makes up
tho tradition of tho Anglo-Saxon
raco.
Now that the govornmont has tak
en over the telephone lines It will
probably compel Idle goHHlpora to in
dulge In "work or fight" conversation.
Unrest Is ovldont in tho Austrian
Interior unrest nnd nothing olso in
particular. And unrost is a poor sub
stitute for goulash.
Abdul Hamld's son lias been pro
claimed tho new ruler of the Turks
by tho Turkish people and tho Gor
man emperor especially by the
Qorrnan emperor.
,.2.00 i was told that the church was the
fountain head of their Red Cross
work and In every instance the best
war workers were the best church
workers.
You cannot walk down the Btreet
of any of the largo cities without
realizing the havoc and desolation
that - war has wrought, for on all
sides are poor crippled fellows wear
ing the blue stripe on their sleeves
indicating they have been "overseas."
In Brandon we visited the armory the
evening before 650 boys wore to sail
for France. The parents and friends
had come from miles around to bid
them farewell and it wsb pitiful to
see the struggle between tearu and
smiles. There used to be great cheer
ing when the boys first went over,
but now they slip quietly out of a
city without a sound, for they real
ize, as well as their friends, they may
never return. In Moose Jaw one
Sjunday morning the minister an
nounced a tralnload of wounded sol
diers was due and he would' be glad
If all men of his congregation hav
ing cars would leave church and go to
the station to take the wounded men
to the hospitals as there were more
than the ambulances could accommo
date. It was surely a gruesome sight.
Arms and limbs torn off, eyes out,
faces shot half off, heads crushed,
but not a moan or groan, mothers
searching anxiously among tho
stretchers' for their boys and so re
lieved not to find them. Wu prayed
then and there "Oh God, upare my
dear boys." Many Canadian mothers
are dressed In deep mourning, there
also are many young widows, but
they meet you with the most wonder
ful bravery and cheer, and seem glad
and proud to havo contributed their
all on the altar of democracy. .
The Canadian soldier Is a nifty
looking fellow, not so tall and big
as the American maybe, but very at
tractive in his neat suit and carry
ing a swagger stick. I inquired the
use or this stick and was told they
aro required to carry it because they
don't know how to manage their
hands without appearing awkward.
The Great war Veterans Associa
tion Is in full swing In Canada nnd
many predict that It will havo e
groat deal to do with Its future politics.
The Canadians are having an
easier time with the food question
than we have in- the states. The gov
ernment very kindly requests them
to conserve wheat and In any of the
hotels they use some substitutes with
the white flour, but there Is always
an abundance of white bread, as yet
there aro no absolute restrictions.
Sugar is served more sparingly by
tho waltrons and removed from the
table, but if you need more you can
got it. As you gazo far out over
the prairies, seeing whoat fields and
more wheat fields, the ranches with
their barns nnd houses huddle close
together llko lonely sentinels against
tho sky, you wondor how any one se
lects this sort of an existence, for
the wicrdnoss and vnstness of It all
is apparent. Of course, thero is a
wonderful fascination nbout a bnr
vest of whoat yielding 63 bushels to
tho acre, especially when you own ,
thousands of acres, und each little I
bushel Is worth $2.24 or more. But
the sand storms of summer and tho
blizzards of winter demand a com
pensntlon and tho good warm rains
of Oregon with her fruit and flow
ers seem good by way of comparison
Thero will not bo bumper crops all
tnrough Canada this year, for In
many places there has not been any
rain for two years and the wind has
blown the seed out of tho ground so
tho necessity of wheat conservation
will bo forced upon them soon.
A queer tlmo system is in vogue
nnd when I wns first told that It was
"fourteen-ton o'clock," I tried to look
wIho but really I was puzzled. Then
I loarnod that a day and night are
each twonty-four hours long and that
"fourteen-ton" was actually ten min
utes after 12. After comprehending
this I wi reduced to the expedient
of always counting on my fingers and
appearing very foollBh. I was there
fore rollovcd whon a kind friond told
mo to nlwnys subtract "two" and I
would got the hour, -ns in the case of
"sixtoen o'clock" six minus two
leaves four, so it menus four o'clock
At each port of entry of each pro

Respect for tne dominion govern
ment is paramount and Mr. Helnllno
baroly escaped a jnll sentence for

It was eighteen inches too long and
like any other American he proceeded
to find a saw to cut It off. Fortun

Of course the scenery of Canadian
Rockies is world renown and the llt
tlo town of Bauff is certainly a majes
tic combination of mountain, sky and
river. The tiny valley nestled in
among the rockB Is the whole town;
Its normal population is about 650 In
habitants, but is increased during the
summer season to 2000. The snow
capped peaks surrounding it are all
eight or nine thousand feet high and
Alpine climbing is considered groat
Bport by some, but not by an Ore
goninn who has not even attempted
Nebo's dl7..y heights. It is all gov
ernment controlled property for miles
around and Bauff is the center of the
national resorvo, so that buffalo,
mountain goats, bears, etc., are al
lowed to roam at large in restricted
areas. Tho chief attraction Is the
natural warm sulphur baths, two of
which are controlled by the govern
ment nnd tho other by the Canadian
Pacific hotel. The water gushoa out
of Sulphur Mountain at a tempera
ture 01 U4 degrees into a basin; it is
then carried across 20 feet into a
large pool, which Is glass oirriosed
on two sides and' the remaining two
sides accommodate the modern con
crete bath houses. Thirty thousand
gallons an hour rush Into tho pool

One of the most picturesque features

mounted police, whom Ralph Con

stories of the northwest. Seven linn

something wonderfully attractive
about these tall straight military fel
