"Tourist traffic is, one industry ripe for development Pn ,Western pa6ada at the ,present time," le the statement of one of the engineers of the Natural Resources Intelligenes Service of the Department of the Interior, on return ing front an investigation of the na- tural resources of southern Alberta and British Oolumbia. This, engineer states that one attractions to tourists inthisarea constitute one -natural re- source ready to i"cash in" on immedi- ately with little expenditure and no diminution of the original assets on which it is. founded. Canada has the natural attractions to meet any competition for the Ameri- can automobile and other tourist traf- fic., She has the big game and other sporting :attractions, thewaterways, scenery, summer' climate, quid so on, The service provided by our railways is the best and our highways are now comparable with many of the main highways in thtt United States, and. they are being rapidly extended and improved. We have the material to sell and we have a ready market, creating a situa- tL,n of .remarkable possibilities. It is a situation which has developed very abruptly -mainly within the last few years. Next door we have a nation; with nearly 110,000,000 people and over 16,000,000 automobiles, bordering us clear across the continent. Most of the motor cars are owned by people with the means and inclination to tra- vel.
