om’ Wilson is dead. Path-

8 gone; we shall not look upon
his like again.

His life work started as far
back as 1881 when he went out
with the Canadian Pacific explor-
ing and surveying parties through
the Rockies. In 1882 he set the
foundations of his later fame with
his discovery of Lake Louise and
Emerald Lake, following it up
with the blazing of the foot trail
up the Yoho Valley in 1884.

In his own person he was his-
tory, the history of the western
mountains. It was fitting that he
should be present at the driving
of the last spike on that fateful
day of November 1885 that saw
the of the C;

Mount Assiniboine; in 1896 he cut
out and cleared the old Indian
trail from Field to Emerald Lake
and blazed a foot trail to Wapta;
in 1897 he took a party to the
Yoho Glacier and the following
year was guide to a party of 14
members of the Philadelphia Pho-
tographic Society to the Yoho
Falls; in 1900 he blazed the first
trail into Moraine Lake, His
work was recognized in 1925 by
a monument erected to him in the
Yoho Pass.

Born at Bond Head, 40 miles
north of Toronto, August 21, 1859,
Tom Wilson was in his 75th year
when death came to him. At the
age of 15 his pioneer spirit sent
him in quest of adventure and
landed him at Sioux City, Ia. a
then westerly post of civilization.
Later he joined the North-West
Mounted Police and was sent to
Fort Walsh in what is now the
southwest corner of Saskatche-
wan. To him there came rumors
of the formation of the Canadian
Pacific syndicate and of that
body’s intention to construct a
railway through the unknown
Canadian Rockies. Adventure
beckoned, so he got his discharge
from the force, trekked across the
prairies to Fort Benton in Mon-
tana and there met and joined the
first survey party en route to
Bow Gap, entrance to the Rockies.
That was in 1881 and so began the
series of adventures that were to
dink his name inseparably with

e .

Pacific trans-continental main
line across the Dominion from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Nor was
he the least of the great men who
there assembled.

In 1884 he made his discovery
of Lake Louise accessible by
blazing a trail to that beauty
spot; in 1893 He took his first
party to camp at the base of

gave one of their popular dances in
the agricultural hall last Friday. Or-
chestra, floor and company were a
combination that made the evening
a pleasant one for all who attended.

His was a full, a happy and a
useful life. He had no enemies.
His disposition was kindly; he
was without any trace of self-
awareness. Known and honored
everywhere in the west, he had
also a host of friends all over the
North American Continent and
indeed all over the civilized world.

A great Canadian and a fine man.

L YOU have a maturing Victory Bond, or if you have money available
for investment, you should apply at once for the new Refunding Loan
Bonds. The subscription lists will close on or before October 24th.

The new Bonds are the best investment a Canadian can buy today. They
give the investor the following advantages:

1. They are Canada’s strongest investment security. Principal and
interest are backed by the entire resources and integrity of the
Dominion.
They provide an income yield of 4.38% for 12 years, an attractive
rate in view of the steady trend toward lower interest levels. Your
money can earn no better’rate today, with comparable safety.

They have the desirable feature of marketability. No other bond
is more readily convertible into cash at any time, or more accept-
able as collateral for a loan at a Bank.

he success of the 1933 Refunding Loan is important to every citizen.
Tt will contribute to national economy by materially reducing the present
weight of public interest charges. It will further enhance Canadian credit
and encourage the business improvement which is now under way.

To make this Loan a success, cash subscriptions are essential as well as
| immediate exchange of maturing Victory Bonds. If you are in a position

to subscribe for the new Bonds you are urged to do so at once. There is
| no step you can take today with more definite advantage to yourself,
both as an investor and as a Canadian citizen.
