Every pound of farm
produce that can be
grown here for years
to come will find a ready
market that will pay a top
notch price. That means good
and quick money for the

other fellow will be to buy.
Scarcity of Rails in Canada
At a iiiwtina: of tho legislature of SaskatcLcwan, Canada, on Feb. 10, 1912, a resolution
was unanimously adopted calling upon the dominion government to abolish the duty on steel
rails from the United States until the Canadian manufacturers should be able to meet the de
mand. It was pointed out by a member that the Canadian mills Avero 17,000 . tons behind in
their or.lcrs. (The duty on steel rails imiortd from the .United States is $7 per ton; from
the. United Kingdom, .$4.50 per ton.")
The rapid development of western Canada has made it impossible for the railways to
keep pa-e with the demands. While the programs of the railways for tho current year in
dicate great additions in steel mileage, ihey are dependent entirely upon their ability to get
the necessary rails. The Grand Trunk Pacific in outlining its program for the year puts
stress on its ability to carry out the construction of branch lines ''provided it can get the steel
rails."
Alreadv there are hundreds of miles of radhed completed awaiting the laying of steel.
The provincial government has guaranteed the bonds of the railways within tlie province to
$1:3,000 per mile, and it is stated that nmvanH of (iOO miles of roadbed, within the province
has leen completed and waitit:;; for r.i'l- !o? two years. Consul General John E. Jones,

continue for years to come.

Big things have been accomplished in British Columbia
Still greater ones are on the point of realization.
More yet are in early prospect.
With her vast natural resources, British Columbia is quietly preparing to give such an account of herself as
will make the world think.
You ought to get some of this land. It is the foundation of
