According to the eight- hour law, the only persons allowed to work in and around a mine more than eight hours in belt accessible for the whole length of the trail. Six miles up from the bridge a large creek comes in from the west; up which a branch trail four miles long was constructed. The trail at the head of the creek runs across a gravel bar, and over grassy ridges onto a tongue of the glacier, which at this point is three miles wide, and is easy to get on and off of. Once over the glacier, the trai runs down Cottonwood creek on a gravel flat to the first timber, a distance of two and one-half miles. Across this open ground and on the glacier it is marked out by mounds, built of rocks, and placed in prominent positions. When the timber line was reached on the Cottonwood three to four feet of snow fell on the summit and the party was forced to pull out of the country.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Page the Progressive government a clear majority of one m the chamber. Should Liberals, Conservatives, Labor members and Independents be able to unite against the government, which is not likely to occur once in four years, the administration would still be saved by the casting vote of the speaker. Professor Bracken is therefore in a position to declare and carry out any policy which his own group can accept. In this he is happier than his Liberal predecessor. Mr. Norris carried on the government in the last house by the favor of members of other parties. CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT DECISION of the Conservative members of the Imperial parliament to go into the impending election as a separate party involves important political consequences. This resolution has been adopted by a majority so large that the dissent of the Conservative leaders in office could not prevail against it. As the Conservatives in the house comprise a large majority of the government party the decision was a peremptory invitation to Conservative ministers to withdraw from an administration led by a Liberal and containing several Liberal ministers. This course will, however, not be necessary, because Lloyd George is tendering the resignation of the ministry. The next step will be the organization of an administration with a member of the majority party at its head. FAVORABLE BALANCE RETURNS of Canadian trade for the past six months show an increase of $52,- 000,000 in exports and a decrease of $15,- 000,000 in imports as compared with last year. In the last six months the excess of exports over imports was $24,000,000, whereas in the same period last year the excess of imports over exports was $43,000,000. A favorable change of $67,000,000 in the; trade balance is a cheerful indication. There is1 reason to believe that the large grain crop of this year will make the balance for the second half of the fiscal year still more favorable. It is particu- Jarly gratifying that this situation should arrive in the face of the United States emergency tariff, and that it is likely to continue in spite of the so- called permanent Fordney tariff. It is another interesting but not a surprising feature in Canada trade and tariff that though the imports have declined the customs revenue has increased. Most business men knew from the beginning that Mr. Fieiding's tariff changes were on the whole in the direction of increase. The increases wer9 more and larger than the decreases. As a revenue tariff the new one beats the old by- many millions. Protectionists have to admit that on the whole protection has noi been reduced.
