PROMINENT OAKLANDS

RETURNS FROM EAST.

The following is from the Oakland,

Calif.; Maple Leaf:- We had a pleas- ing call a few days ago from Mr. John M. Currie, who has just returned from a five months' trip to P. E. Island, the land of his birth. In cpeaking of his trip _Mr. Currie said:

“For the past two or three years 1

have been receiving letters from _re- latives and friends in the Island and lower provinces informing me of the wonderful success of the fox lndustry and of the fabulous fortunes that were being made there by investors in it. eece eeeeeece eccc mmm mm m mm This information. coming frniiv such reliable sources and imparted in a friendly way without hope of reward impelled me to go and see for my- self.

“I accordingly left Oakland last

July, stopping off at Boston for a few days en route. While there I met friends wiio had invested in Island foxes and ,had received dividends ranging from 30 to 300 per cent. Large ofllces are`establishcd there and mill- ions of dollars of Boston money inves- ted in this industry to the great profit and advantage. of the shareholders. Numerous friends iii Boston and else- where in the East informed me that of the different stocks owned by them, none had paid dividends this year save the fox companies.

“From Boston Iproceeded to Char-

lottetown, the hub of the fox industry. Hore'l spent a month visiting the dif- ferent ranches, inspecting their stock and inquiring carefully into every de- tail of the business. My observations, together with the reliable information that I was in a position to obtain, left no doubt in my mind as to the soundness of the industry. One con-

vincing argument, to my mimi, is the fact that lt' is imposslb e to find a man or woman anywhere who has lost a dollar in foxes. There is no other business or enterprise under the sun of which the same can be truth- fully said. _

"The Canadian Government has ln-

vestigated the industry. The Royal Commission, appointed .bf'y the British Parliament, met in Charlottetown while I was there and made a thoro- ugh investigation of the industry since its inception. Both the Canadian Gov-

liave given it their stamp of 'ap- proval pronouncing lt safe, sane and solid. ' `

“The P. E. Islander and the New

Englanders have cleared up fortune in the past few years and are still cleaning up. There is no reason why Californians should not participate in this great and increasing industry. Actng on this thought, being fully con- vinced of the soundness of the enter- prise, and, furthermore, being as an- xious to make money as the next one, I invested all I could spare in three .different companies.

"After leaving the Island I visited

different places in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, including Picton. New Glasgow, Truro, Amherst, Sussex and St. John. In all of these places I found friends, all smiling and in a happy frame of mind because they. too. had invested in foxes.” The fox industry seems to_be the right dopc in ull the places-all the time.

"I enjoyed my trip immensely. Was

glad to get there to seo the old places and thc old faces, but more glad still to get back to my dear old California. thc land of my adoption and truly G0d's country. thc land of sunshine, fruit and flowers und--added by my- sell- pence."

A LETTER

FROM SALISBURY

The following letter has been re-

ceived by Mlss Jeanette McDonald sphool teacher at'North Granville. from her brother Mr. John W. Mc- Donald who was n la\v student in and

Light Horse and *now at Salisbury Plain ready for th front when thc cull comes.

No. 13265.

E. Company, 5th Batt. 2nd Brigade.

Canadian Contingent, Salisbury, Eng.

Dec. 4, 1914.

Dear Jeanettez- Your_ letter of a

few weeks ago reached me three days ago I am always glad to hear from you and expect you to write when the opportunity presents itself without waiting for my letters, espec- ially now that a letter takes so long to reach its destination. By the way- I mentioned in a letter to you that I intended sending a note book with a few notes of life in camp.` I am afraid that such an account would not go past the Military Authorities as they insect correspondence and advise the troops to keep service and points

By the time you receive this Christ-

mas will be almost around again. I cannot think that the 25th is _hut three weeks away, .but the calendar says so. It will be an anxious day in many homes in Englandas so many of their families have loved ones at the front or already in the missing list and the tremendous significance of the war is gradually filling the minds of the people. The fact of thc matter is that the majority in Canada. ap- pear to fecl thc present war is niercly for the British at small affair and mainly to help thc Brave Belgians. They do not realize that it is 11. lifc and death struggle for the existence of thc Empire and that if Germany is victorious in the present contest. Britain will he compelled to increase her great navy and -in addition sup- port an overwhelming army in prc- paration for thc iinal struggle which would be issued in as soon as Ger- many had every dstail 'worked out and had risen on the ruins of her pfe- sent continentul opponents. A lot of the people in this country feel too sec- ure because of their navy and do not sec how Germany can overcome it If she becomes thc great autocratic military ruler of Europe she now aims at.

I spent last Saturday ‘evening and

Sunday in London. My leave was from Saturday noon until Monday morning. The train -voyagc is about eighty-

Une old trees and well-kept hedges delight the eyc. The beautiful old churches vislblc in nearly every vill- lage. and town on the way are n com- pliment to thc picture. You have heard of the English compartments in thc trains ouch compartment holding about eight people. If you have pleasant camp divisions you are all right but thcrc is no passage leading to the rest of the train to es- cape uucongenlsl passengers. .'An English born fellow was with mo on the trip to London. We arriv- ed at Waterloo Station and took a taxi to a restaurant on the Strand. We attended a theatre thatevening and had a look around 9. small part of the West ond.

When ln front of the last wc picked up it London Guide who show- ed us around the House of Commons and Lords, the Admiralty Building and other Government buildings, and the resident of Asquith, Lloyd George, Churchill and Earl Grey. The foriner two are 10 and 11 Downing Street. You remember thc frequent meiitlon oi’ Downing Street rule in early (Tan- adian days. They are very plain buildings to housc such wonderful men nt present and to have been thc` home of so many past cclobritics.
