WESTERN CANADA’S
GREAT HARVEST
Decidedly Encouraging From Ev
ery Standpoint.
Speaking of conditions generally in
Canada, the most encouraging feature
of the year, from a trade and financial
standpoint, has been the bountiful
harvest of the Northwest, where a
greatly increased area uuder cultiva
tion lias given the highest average
yield in the history of the country. It
Is estimated that the grain crop of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
has a market value to the producers of
approximately four hundred million
dollars, in the use of which we may
anticipate not only the liquidation of
much indebtedness, but the stimula
tion of current trade.
The annual reports of the various
banks throughout Canada are now be
ing published. They savor of opti
mism all the way through, and. con
trary to what might be generally ex
pected in war times, business is good
everywhere.
The General Manager of the Bank of
Montreal at tlie recent annual meet
ing said: "The position of Canada is
h highly favored one, with an assured
future of growth, development and
general prosperity."
In the same report it is said that the
Canadian West "lias recovered to a
marked extent from the economic dis
location of a year ago."
The season’s wheat and other cereal
crops have exceeded all previous rec
ords in quantity and quality, and. de
spite the enormous yield, prices hava
been uncommonly well maintained.
It would be difficult to exaggerate
•he importance of these results to the
Prairie Provinces- ami the Dominion
at large.
The prosperity of those engaged in
mixed farming and ranching is most
encouraging.
'fiio flour mills in Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta are busy and
are doing well. Their combined daily
capacity is about 27,000 barrels.
The large advances of the Dominion
Government to farmers in certain dis
tricts, principally in the form of seed,
were made very opportunely and have
been amply justified by the very large
c rop yield in those districts.
Business in many important lines is
good and should continue to improve
hs returns from grain yet to he mar
keted are received.
The general business outlook has
been transformed by the large crop.
The returns of the gross earnings of
C anadian railroads for November show
those of the Canadian in
creased $1.79G,000 or 78 per cent for
the last nine days of the mouth. Com
pared with same month year ago, in
crease no loss than $5,291,000 or 07. G
per rent against a 45 per cent gain in
October, and a decrease of 4% per
cent in September.
H. V. Meredith, of the Rank of Mont
real. in a recent address delivered at
Montreal, declared that the most en
couraging feature from a trade and
finance standpoint had been the boun
tiful harvest of the Northwest, where
the greatly increased area under culti
vation iiad given the highest average
in history of the country. He esti
mated the grain crop of the three
provinces at a value of over $400,000,.
One. and said that such remarkable re
sults would have the effect of attract
ing the tide of immigration to our
shores, when tiie world is again at
peace. The restoration of a favorable
balance in our foreign trade is a fac
tor of supreme importance at the pres
ent time.
It is the general opinion in tlie East
that the 1915 grain crop in the Prai
rie Provinces not only put the whole
Dominion in a sounder trade and finan
cial standing, but that it will also re
t- *’.i in a big increase in immigration
to the West of agricultural settlers,
who will include capitalized farmers
from Europe and the United States as
well as homesteaders. —Advertisement.

\V**.Miein Newnapcr Union News Service.
Denver. —Again the statisticians in
preparing Colorado’s annual state
ment have brought forth a balance
sheet that shows nothing in the red.
In a material and a social sense, the
year 1915 was the most momentous
in the history of the state.
First in importance from a material
standpoint comes: Agriculture, queen
of Colorado industries. Ceres bent her
beneficent head over the fertile
plains and valleys and serried ranks
of wheat, corn, beets, hay, the product
of the farm and the vegetable patch,
covered the ground. The unirrigated
lands of the eastern plains, blessed
again by heavy precipitation, sprouted
like the banks of the Nile. The wheat
crop was greater by 1,000,000 bushels
than ever before. The potato indus
try revived. In beet sugar production
Colorado again led the nation. Even
the apple crop, shortened by an un
usually low summer temperature,
made up in quality what it lacked in
quantity. Colorado apples brought’
fancy prices in all Eastern markets.
When the talesmen counted the re
ceipts, they credited Agriculture with
a $100,000,000 crop.
Bonanza Year in Mines.
Mining, the rock upon which Colo
rado and Denver were founded, rose
again like a volcanic rock from tlie
sea, and the hills and the mountains
poured forth a river of precious metals
that closely approximated the bon
anza days of the state.
From $19,888,000 worth of gold in
1914 the production rose to $24,100,-
753. It is an ill wind that blows no
body good. The carnage in Europe
forced the price of spelter up and an
advance of Go per cent was noted in
total production. Altogether, the
mines yielded $50,023,808 in 1915, as
against $12,000,000 in 1914.
The wind from the grass-covered
ranges wafted over the prairies to all
who would listen the mingled voices
and the million-hoofed stamping of
Colorado's great herd of livestock.
Trained judges of horses came from
far lands of shot and shell to take
from Colorado all it would offer in
the way of horseflesh. From $17,237,-
000, the output of the livestock mark
ets in Colorado rose to $00,208,000 in
a year’s time. And the stock within
the state increased in value from $102,-
000,000 in December, 3914, to $120,-
000,000 in the December just closed.
With tbe coal mines once more op
erating at full blast, manufacturing
added another $50,000,000 to the
state’s wealth.
While the outstanding feature of;
the year in railroad circles was the 1
enormous traffic caused by the tin pro- 1
cedented passenger movement to and |
from the Pacific coast, resulting in a
total of 4,208,340 passengers in and !
out of the Denver Union station dur
ing the year, the trial balance for the
twelve months ending Dec. 31 shows ■
a record of increasing traffic of all 1
kinds, and a number of notable events
in railroad history and excellent prom
ise for the future, especially in con- j
nection with the concerted state wide
campaign for fair freight rates.
Mesa Verde Park Great Attraction,
The government has published more
literature dealing with the Mesa
Verde National Park than any of the
other national playgrounds. in this
district are the finest and best-pre
served ruins that have been found in
North America.
Colorado Ranks Second in Gold.
Colorado produced approximately
25 per cent of the gold output of the
entire United States in 1915 and
ranks second among the gold produc
ing statc»s. according to reports made
by the director of mints and the geo
logical survey. The total gold pro
duction of the entire country, accord
ing to the report, was $98,891,100.
Of this amount $24,10G,753 was
mined in Colorado according to statis
tics. California was the only state to
exceed Colorado in gold output. Fig
ures issued by the director of mints
and the geological survey, show that
the production of other state were as
follows:
Alaska, $10,020,700, and Nevada,
$11,314,700. No other state produced
more than $8,000,000 in gold, accord
ing to the report.
There was but a slight difference
between the standing of this state and
California, in gold production.
The government report shows that
gold mining in Colorado had a great
Impetus during the past year. The
gold talked in Colorado In 1914
amounted to A-rproMmately $20,000,-
frfiO.

The vear ’s report shows that the gold accepted amounted (o $?,4.268,143,
while tlie silver reached the total of $574,173.78. Those figures give an in
crease in gold and a decrease in silver. The grand total of both the metals,
however shows an increase of $588,663.35. The report shows the exact
amount, of both metals received not only from Colorado sources hut from

I clean, sweet, fresh.
Happy, bright, alert—vigorous and
vivacious—a good clear skin;- a nat
ural, rosy complexion and freedom
from illness are assured only by clean,
healthy blood. If only every woman
and likewise every man could realize
the wonders of drinking phosphated
hot water each morning, what a grat
ifying change would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anaemic-looking men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the multitudes of
“nerve wrecks," “rundowns,’’ “brain
fags" and pessimists wo should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy
cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, a glass
of real hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
ten yards of bowels the previous day's
indigestible waste, sour fermentations
and poisons, thus cleansing, sweeten
ing and freshening the entire alimen
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bil
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who
have a pallid, sallow complexion and
who are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate from any drug
gist or at the store which will cost
but a trifle but is sufficient’ to demon
strate the quick and remarkable
change in both health and appearance
awaiting those who practice internal
sanitation. We must remember that
inside cleanliness is more important
than outside, because the skin does
not absorb impurities to contaminate
the blood, while the pores in the thir

Surprise for You.
Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluf

trous and beautiful as a young girl’s
after a "Danderine hair cleanse.” Just
try this—moisten a cloth with a little
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil
and in just a few moments you have
doubled the beauty of your hair.
Besides beautifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig
orates the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks’ use when you
will actually see new hair—fine and
downy at first—yes—but really new
hair —growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair and lots
