THE BANKS OF CANADA

The closing of the year 1912 has brought out the usual bank statements accompanied by the addresses of the Presidents and General Managers of these institutions. Their reading is interesting as they show in a striking manner the prosperity of the country, and deal with economic matters in a first hand way. Those who know anything of Canadian banking methods know the stability of these institutions, and the high character of the men who are placed in charge. In discussing the land situation the Pres, ident of the Union Bank of Canada, whose branches are to be found in all parts of the Canadian West, said: — "A good deal has been Baid about speculation in land. The increase in land values has added enormously to the assets of Western business, and has to some extent formed a basis for extended credit, but this is not felt to be a drawback when the value is real and convertible. We consider that a business standing which is strengthened and enhanced by property holdings is entitled to a reasonable enlargement of credit for legitimate business operations.” It will thus be seen that the banks recognize the certain rise in the value of farm lands in Western Canada. When the facts are known of the wonderful producing qualities of farm landß in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, it is simple to understand the liberal stand taken by the banks. Living not far from Lashburn, Sash, Is a fanner named Clarke who in 1912 secured a crop of Marquis Wheat, yielding 76 bushels per acre. This is spoken of as a record yield, and this is doubtless true, but several cases have been brought to notice where yields, almost as large have been produced*, and in different parts of the country. During the past year there have been reported many yields of from 35 to 45 bushels of wheat to the acre. Oats, too, were a successful crop, and so was the barley crop. Wheat that would yield 40 bushels per acre, would bring on the market 70c (a fair figure) per bushel, a gross return of $28.00 per acre. Allow $12.00 per acre (an outside figure) there would be a balance of $16.00 per acre net profit. This figure should satisfy anyone having land that cost less than SIOO.OO per acre. Very much less return than this proves satisfactory to those holding lands in lowa and Illinois worth from $250 to S3OO per acre. The latest Government returns give an approximate estimate of four hundred thousand of an immigration to Canada during 1912. Of this number 200,000 will be from the United States. Most of these are of the farming class and it is ndt difficult to understand why farming lands In Canada will advance from ten to twenty per centwithin the next twelve months. Therefore investment in Western Canadian lands is not looked upon as being in the speculative class. Those fortunate enough to secure free homesteads in Canada will acquire in the intrinsic value of the land alone the beßt possible start for a future- aavertisement.

SIGNING OF CHANCE MEANS HARD BATTLE

Frank Chance, Newly Signed Manager of Highlanders.

Farrell’s New York American league club with Frank Chance In command is the "dark horse” of the 1913 season. While the other managers welcome him they are willing to admit they have another versatile leader to compete with and believe it will be anything but a simple task. All have watched Chance’s career as manager of the Cubs and wished he was one of them. Now that he Is in their midst air are sitting up and starting to make preparations for the hardest struggle Ban Johnson’s organization has ever known. This is what Johnson has been striving for since he has been at the head of the American league. It has been his plan for years to have all clubs as nearly equal as possible. Through his untiring efforts he has engineered deals by which most of thw teams of his association have developed Into pennant contenders. If he had his way every team would be In the first division fighting for the pennant. That Is why he worked so hard to get Chance for the Yankees. “ Johnson wanted Chance for several reasons. First, he knew It would add to the prestige of the American league; second, he did not want baseball to lose Chance; third, he desires to have a coterie of greater managers than the National league, and fourth, he wants to make Jake Stahl, Connie Mack, Hugh Jennings, Jimmy Callahan, Clark Griffith and the others realize they will have to struggle with New York to win the Bag. In addition he Is eager to place a man in New York who Is competent to compete

with John McGraw of the Giants. Here is what the American league managers think of Chance’s acqulsl-t tion: Clark Griffith, Washington: “Now I know I will have to fight harder to win the pennant. I fought him for three years with Cincinnati and know what he is capable of.” Jimmy Callahkn, White Sox: "I am sure all of us have a tussle on our hands now. With that pitching staff he will make the race a keen one.” Connie Mack, Philadelphia: “This is the season Ip. which the Highlanders begin to be prominent factors in our struggle. Chance, lam sure, will keep us all on the nervous seat.” Jake Stahl, Boston: "Chance’s coming only adds another hard team for us to trim. It certainly will make our race a dandy.” Hugh Jennings, Detroit: “I know Chance‘and know what he can do. I matched baseball brains with him In 1907 and 1908 and lost each time. I am confident his coming will force us all to be on the alert.” Joe Birmingham, Cleveland: ”1 never met Chance on the field, but from what I have heard of him I know what to expect. You can bet I will keep my eye on him all the time, too." George Stovall, St. Louis: “Chance’s coming means more work for me, for I just nosed out the Highlanders for seventh place. From what I have heard of Chance’s ability I can see where the Browns have to step somo, bnt we will be there to try just the same.”

NOTES of SPORTDOM

Now watch Chance grab a big chunk of McGraw’s popularity in Gotham. Gotch may have to suppress Zbyszko periodically for the sake of the peace. Chance was a splendid delayed Christmas gift for New York baseball fans. And now the Washington Senators are picked to finish no higher than second. Luther McCarty would fight Bombardier Wells. He Is going right out after the “little big” fellows. Hugh Jennings, after a time In vaudeville, has come to the conclusion that all baseball players are fizzles on the stage. “Chick” Lathers, who had a trial with the Detroit Tigers, has been shipped to Indianapolis by the Providence team. Frank Donnelly, who served as an umpire last season, has signed to manage the Springfield club of the ThreeEye league. Jim Flynn no sooner gets his blackened eye so it looks as If it would heal than he is matched with Cyclone Johnny Thompson. These golf bugs who cannot find the regular game enough for them but must needs add innovations have our sincere sympathy. Joe Rivers’ punching powers have amazed New Yorkers, which reminds one of the time Aurelia Herrera land ed on Benny Yanger. The management of the Boeton American league club haa refused to raise the salaries of its players and says the players should be satisfied with the world’s series coin. It is claimed for. Wrestler Lurich that he v speaks twelve languages fluently. He might challenge Zbyszko In each tongue, to be sure the big Pole under* tandslilm. “There will he no room for any ‘fade-sways’ on my team,” avert George Stovall. He has plenty mt young material on hie roster.
