CANADIAN 1'ORESTERS.
Largely Attended Meeting at Hamilton
Last Week.
The annual meeting of the Canadian
Order of Foresters ' as held in Hamil-
ton last week. The attendance of del-
egates was very lare, and the meet-
ing was one of the ost successful in
the history of the 1 rder,
Many matters •+ interest to the
membership gener fly were dealt with
in these various re sorts, and they cover
a great deal of detail, all of which in-
dicates marked ansteady progress in
the affairs of this ational fraternal in-
surance associati.n, The officers of
this order have b•en able from year to
year to indicate conclusively, by their
reports, satisfac•.ry progress in cer-
tain directions, b t those of 1911 indi-
cate progress in very department of
the order's opera ions. The Canadian
Order of Foreste = confines its business
entirely to the ominion of Canada
and, if one may j ge, by the results
attained, the policy adopted in this re-
gard, at the incep ion of the order in
1879, would appea to have been a wise
one from a prude ial, as well as a pat-
riotic point of vie .
To deal with few of the points
brought out by th reports of the var-
ious officers, first might be mentioned
the fact that d ring 1911 9,333 new
members were initiated into the order,
an has been admit-
ted in any previo s year of the order's
existence. The n t increase in the mem-
bership for the ye r under review was
5,022, being 903 ir excess of the prev-
ious year's net a ditions to the., order.
The total memb rship at the end of
1911 was 83,126.
In respect to th insurance fund 405
death claims wer paid during the year,
amounting to $500560.08. When it is
considered that in 1910 three more death
claims were paid,' amounting to a slight-
ly larger gross total than that paid in
1911 such a favo ble showing reflects
creditably on t e physical selection
made of business taken by the order,
After paying thi sum of over half a
million for claims out of the , insurance
fund the order w able to add the very
substantial sum o $334,754.64 to its in-
surance fund on hand, being a larger
addition to this find than that made in
any previous year The total atnount
standing at the redit of this fund on
the first of Jun , 1912, was $3,740,-
359.07.

REAL ESTATE
On the principle that far of hills
look green, a Iarge amount of Ont-
ario money has been invested in
Western towns of doubtful possibili-
ties, while right at our door in the
city of Toronto are to be found what
are probably the best real estate
investments in Canada.
Toronto will add to its population
this year as many people as there
are in two towns like Saskatoon. t}:
Toronto has a population of 420,-
000 and is growing rapidly. The
opening up of Greater Ontario, the
rapid settling of the West, the en-
largment of our canal system all
combine to make Toronto the most
favorably situated city in the Dom-
inion.
Its growth during the next five
years will surpass all past records.
We can give valuable information
to intending investors as we have
made a personal inspection of the
different parts of the city.
