Union      Shareholder!      Will     Receive One  Share  of  Royal   for  Two Shares   of   Union.
Ottawa, May 23.—The announce-no nt was made in the house of com-iions last night by Hon. J. A. Robb, icting minister of finance, that he and given his consent to a proposal for the merging of the Union Bank of Canada with the Royal Bank of Canada, subject to the agreement covering the.same being approved by the shareholders. Under the arrangement suggested the shareholders in the Union Bank of Canada will receive one share in the Royal Bank for two shares of Union Bank stock.
While the merger has been expected in financial circles for some time, the announcement that it has been brought about will be received with misgivings, especially on the part of the prairie provinces. The merger will reduce the number of chartered banks in Canada, to eleven, but its advocates will have a chance to argue in favor of bigger ' and safer banks.
A few days before the consent to the merger was announced Union Bank stock was quoted at $111, and Royal Bank stock at %'A2ti. The Union     Bank     had     32S     branches

ARCHIBALD  LITTLE  WILL
LOOK FOR FRANK PERRY'S WONDERLAND  OF  NORTH
In   addition   to   looking   into    the (mining   possibilities 'of    the    Dease Lake  section,   Archibald   Little's  fly-i ing bom. will' make   a   trip   to   the wonderland of the north, which was ¦reported  by Frank  Perry as  having been   discovered   somewhere    in    the I vicinity  of  the  northern   border   of the province.    Perry's description of (this section  for tropical growth and i mineral^ possibilities    read    like    a |chapter from the Wizard of Oz.  He i reported its discovery after   a   lonjr I trip  north   from  Prince   George  and has always insisted it would only re-I quire to be seen by capitalists to en-isure one    c;f    the    greatest    mining i booms in the history of British Columbia.       Little   and   his  associates jwho have fitted out the present expedition,   will    find    the    capital    if ; Perry's wonderland comes anywhere ¦within his' description.      Perry    is ; waiting at Telegraph Creek to pilot the flying boat from that point.
FOR the lover of natural beauty, no place on the North American Continent holds more charm thun does Jasper National Park, the 4,400 square mile playground set aside in the Canadian Rockies for the benefit of Canadians and their guests. Here lake and river blend with towering snow-clad peaks and provide a Hcenic setting which is unexcelled. In this great natural park, wild life
has been protected and as a result the animals have become friendly with mankind and are not only increasing in numbers but are also becoming very tame. Elk, deer, bears, mountain sheep and mountain goats may very frequently be seen by visitors as they drive or ride along the highways or bridle paths ^hich radiate from Jasper Park Lodge, the bungalow camp hotel of the Canadian National Railways.
The photographs above show a fevr of the beauty spots of Jasper National Park. The left upper photograph shows Mt. Erebus, one of the towering peaks of the region, while that to the right is Mount Edith Cavell, Canada's everlasting memorial to the heroic British war nurse. Below, from left to right, are shown: Moose Canyon; fishing on Pyramid Lake, and a group of tourists " at the Cavell Glacier.                —C.N.R. Photos.
