There are only a few captious newspapers in Canada which, for political reasons, like to show ill-nature toward the United States and say ungenerous things about the people on this side of the line. The thoughtful leaders and the intelligent people throughout the Dominion are friendly in their intercourse and liberal in business relations with their neighbors in this country.

The Canadians are in evidence at the Pan-American Exposition. The beautiful Canadian Building - styled the "Pan-American Home," signifying that it is open to all - has been informally dedicated to the interests of the public. The official dedication of the building will take place at an early day in July. It is nicely located and, altogether, interesting in its interior as well as it exterior views.The exhibit of cereals, etc., is very fine. In addition to the agricultural exhibit in its own building, Canada has exhibits in the Mines Building, forestry, fine arts, live stock and other special exhibits. Manitoba has the finest exhibit of cereals and grasses to be found in the Agriculture Building.

The Province of Ontario was among the first to open an exhibit of fruit in the spacious Horticulture Building. The exhibit was among the finest in the building. The famous Niagara district was drawn upon for a notable exhibit of apples. The Canadian authorities gave to Robert Thompson and William Bunting the supervision of the Ontario display of fruits, which was in every way remarkable for its fineness. The test of superior cold storage was in evidence in the perfect preservation, without flaw or blemish, of the assorted samples on exhibition. In this connection it may be well to say that Robert Walsh of St. Catherines has invented a system of cold storage that must prove of great benefit to fruit growers as dampness is impossible under the process.

In the Canadian Building are convenient and elegantly arranged offices for Commissioner William Hutchinson and William A. Burns, secretary to the commission. The Canadians are well represented by these gentlemen, who will be in constant supervision of the duties of the commission in its care for the Canadian exhibits.

Canada, it will be seen, therefore, is doing a carefully planned and an intelligent work in furthering the real interests of the Pan-American Exposition.
