PREPARING FOR
THE WORK OF 1913
CITY BUILDING, RAILWAY BUILD.
ing and farm operations
IN WESTERN CANADA,
I BIGGEST EVER.
NOVEL KOIO TOURS
Run From Boulogne to Arras In
Spain Is Interesting.
The machinery, the money and the
men for carrying on the big works in
Western Canada in 1913 are already
provided for. The splendid harvest
which was successfully garnered, and
by this time mostly marketed, re-
sponded to the big hopes that were
had for It early in the season, and in-
spired capitalists and railroads to
further investment and building.
From lake ports to mountain base
there will be carried on the biggest
operations in city building and rail-
way construction that has ever taken
place In that country. The Canadian
Pacifle railway has everything in
waiting to continue their great work
of double tracking the system and by
the time the Panama Canal is open to
traffic there will be a double line of
steel from Lake Superior to the Pa-
cific coast. The cost will exceed
thirty million dollars. The Grand
Trunk Pacific plan of building a first-
class trunk line and then feeders at
various points will be carried forward
with all the force that great company
can put into the work. The Canadian
Northern is prepared to put into mo-
tion all the energy that young giant
of finance and railroad building can
put into various enterprises of provid-
ing and creating transportation facili-
ties. v
Building operations in the several
cities, that have already marked
themselves a place in the list of suc-
cessful and growing cities, will be
carried on more largely than ever.
Schools, public buildings, parliament
buildings, colleges, business blocks,
apartments, private residences, banks,
etreet and other municipal improve-
ments have their appropriation ready,
and the record of 1913 will be some-
thing wonderful. Other places which
are towns today will make the rapid
atrides that are expected and will be-
come cities. There will be other Ed-
ixiontons, Calgarys, Reginas and Sas-
katoons, other places that may in
their activity help to convince the j
outer world of the solidity and perma- j
nency of the'Canadian West. The
country is large and wide and broad
and the ends of its great width and j
length are but the limits of its agri-
cultural area. Its people are progres- j
Bive, they are strong, there is no ,
enervation tjiere. The country teems j
with this life, this ambition, this i
fondness to create and to use the |
forces that await the settler. If they
come from the South, and hundreds j
of thousands of them have, they are
now the dominant men of the North,
end they have imbibed of the spirit
of the North. Therefore it is fair to
say that no portion of the continent
will show such wonderful results as
Western Canada, and the year 1913
will be but the beginning of a won-
derful and great future. And in thiB
future the 200,000 Americans who
made it their home, and those who
preceded them, will be a considerable
portion of the machinery that will be
used in bringing about the results
predicted.
The development of 1913 will not
be confined to the prairie provinces.
Railway building and city building in
British Columbia will be supplement-
ed by the farm, the ranch and the
orchard building of that province.
Vancouver will make great strides in
building, and Victoria, the staid old
lady of so many years, has already
Jhown signs of modern ways, and if
the progress made in 1912 may be ac-
cepted as anything like what it will
be in 1913, there will bo wonderful
developments there. During last
year the permits went over the ten
million dollar mark and much more is
promised for the year now entered
upon.—Advertisement.

Boulogne, France.—There are more
ways than one of setting out for the
Tyrol, and if a short sea voyage is an
object, then nothing can better the
Folkestone-Boulogne route. Otherwise
the Hook of Holland and a journey
down the Rhine is a good alternative.
We chose the Bhort sea trip and start-
ed with a run from Boulogne to Arras,
a town not devoid of interest. Then
on to Rheims, which is always a sat-
isfactory halt, first, because it pos-
sesses one of the most perfect of all
the French cathedrals, and, secondly,
on account of the excellence of the

"You know the crowding, pushing,

“He overtook me, coming up from

when he had come to me he didn’t

Our next journey took us over the
Ballou d’Alsace, then through Bel-
fort. Montbeliard. St. Hippolyte,
Maiche and Morteau to the frontier.
The road, on leaving Montbeliard, is
particularly beautiful, and especially
after leaving St. Hippolyte, where it
begins to ascend rapidly with a suc-
cession of corners. It is hilly and wind-
ing all the way to Maiche, and then
runs along a fine open plateau for
some kilometres, gradually ascending
as far as Bussey and then descending
until Marteau is reached, when a
sharp turn to the left brings one with-
in a few miles of Le Lac au Villers
and the French Customs. After climb-
ing to the summit of the Col des
Roches, a fine rugged piece of scen-
ery, the road enters a rock tunnel, at

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
Prominent Doctor’* Beat Prescrlp-
tion Eaally Mixed at Home.
This simple and harmless formula
has worked wonders for all who have
tried It quickly curing chronic and
acute rt»>ui®it Ism and backache. ‘‘From
your druggist get one ounce of Turla
compound <1n original sealed package)
and one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla
compound. Take these two Ingredients
home and put them In a hulf pint of
good whiskey. Shake the bottle and ;
tuke a tablespoonful before each meal
and at bed-time.” Good results mine
ufter the first few doses. If your drug-
gist does not have Torls compound in
stock lie wilt get It for you In a few
hours from IiIh wholesale house. Don’t
be Influenced to take a pattot medi-
cines Instead of tills. Insist on having
tile genuine Torls compound in ttie
original, one-ounce, sealed, yellow
package. Vi:.K was published here last
winter and hundreds of the worst eases
were cured liy It In n short time. Pub

Six-year-old Dorn returned unusu-

She rang the door bell. There was no

third time she pushed the button, long
and hard. Nobody came to the door.
Then she pressed her nose agninst
the window screen and in a shrill
voice, which carried to the cars of
every neighbor in the block, cnllcd:

has the endorsement of many thousands
that it has cured them of indigestion, dys-
pepsia and weak stomach, attended by sour
risings, heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stomach,
biliousness and kindred derangements of
the stomach, liver and bowels.
"In coughs and hoarseness caused by
bronchial, throat and lung affections, except
consumption, the ‘Golden Medical Dis-
covery’ is a most efficient remedy, espec-
ially in those obstinate, hang-on-cougha
caused by irritation and congestion of tho
bronchial mucous membranes. The Dis-
covery* is not so good for acute coughs
arising from sudden colds, nor must it be
expected to cure consumption in its ad-
vanced stages—no medicine will do that—
but for all the obstinate, chronic coughs,
which, if neglected, or badly treated, lead
up to consumption, it is the best medicine
that can be taken.”
