IN THE WEST Believed the Prices For West- ern Grain Wonld Be Quite Fore opt Satisfactory. Penticton, B.C., Sept. 19.--Presi- dent Beatty spoke very optimistical- ly regarding conditions in Canada, in an interview here to-day. He remark- that while it was quiet in the east business was rapidly picking up in the west due to the impetus of a | good crop. | Dealing with the unemployment | question, President Beatty said men were etill wanted on the prairies both to handle crop and to assist in rail- Way construction. The C.P.R. want- ed a number of men and all the oth- er railroads were needing them. In spite of this fact the president thought, however, that there would { be a great deal of unemployment du- | ring the coming winter. The president spoke enthusiasti- cally of the large grain crop| on the prairie and remarked that he beliey- ed the prices would be very satisfac- tory all round. Asked if he anticipated that any of the grain would be moved west in order to be shipped to Europe, via Panama Canal, he replied in the né- gative. With regard to Lord Shaugh- | Dessy's suggestion that the C. P. R. | operate all Canadian lines as the re- presentative of the government, Pre- sident Beatty said the suggestion was made to the prime minister but not acted upon. Whether anything 'would flevelop from the suggestion would depend on conditions after the elee- tion and the formation of the new government, Soldier-Settlers Do Well; 390 Pay Loans in Full ment board figures to the end of June show 26,445 returned soldiers have been settled on the land.
