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.

American business blocks. We walked
ytlirougli Hyde Park uftcr entering nt
the Marble Arch and along the Rotten
Row where the after-c~liurcl1 crowds
were showing off their lilincry and
wearing their best looks. We passed
Keiisiiigtoii Palace and Marlliorotigli

Balfour and the American Ambassa-
dor. When ln front of the last wc
picked up it London Guide who show-
ed us around the House of Commons

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. We
walked through part of Scotland
Yard and thought of many tales thc
world could tell If they had the po\v-
or of speech. Our guide showed us
thc spot whcrc Charles I was execut-
cd in front of Whgtelinll.
Hnywurd and I n the cvcning visit-
cd 'l‘i'al`algur Square whcrc thc great
Nelson Column is erected. All over

just as you would cxpcct him to look

Westniiiiistcr Abbey ironi thc outside
but could not got a view around ln-
sidc un Sunday. lt is useless for me
to describe these buildings as you
have read discriptions of them again
and again. l enjoyed the day and a
half very iuuch though the stay was
out an opportunity for a hasty glim-
pse around. I want to gropc around
some of the historic parts at leisure
and live over the past more vividly. I
