Show HERE INVESTIGATING Secretary of Canadian Commission Com-mission Looks Over Local Conditions. W. A. Wilson, secretary of the royal live stock commission of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, with head-, quarters at Regina., arrived in Salt Lake yesterday morning and is at tho Hotel Utah. Mr. Wilson has been traveling through the western states for the past six weeks as representative of the government gov-ernment of the province to investigate conditions for the marketing of livestock live-stock and livestock products. He has been as far east as Chicago and as far west as Salt Lake, and will leave tomorrow tomor-row afternoon for Butte, after which he will go home. Speaking of Salt Lake City as a livestock live-stock center, Mr. Wilson said that he was unable to pass judgment upon local conditions inasmuch as he had been here only for two days and had been unable to study the matter sufficiently. He declared, de-clared, however, that in view of the railroad facilities and the proximity of Salt Lake to the producers, there was little question as to the future success of the stockyards. Mr. Wilson said that nothing was so encouraging to the farmer as the availability avail-ability of ready and profitable markets, and that nothing contributed more to increased activity in production. Mr. Wilson declared that, inasmuch as Salt Lake is just starting out in the livestock business, it affords him and the commission which he represents probably the best opportunity of any other city he has visited of making a study of" the basic and fundamental principles underlying the industry. Relative to the war sentiment in Canada Can-ada Mr. Wilson said that there was a unanimity of opinion among all Canadians Cana-dians that the war should be pursued to the finish that is, until the allies should bo victorious. He further said that Canada was ready and willing to come to the aid of the mother country with all the men, money and material resources at her command. He expressed the opinion that the United States would soon be fighting side by side with the Canadians. No one, he said, can denv that President. Wilson has done all in his power to keep the United States out of war, but the force of conditions con-ditions will compel him to enter the conflict. |
