He emphatically denied most of the statements which had been made by the Belangers. He.admitted having a talk with Fred. Belanger and another party whom he knew as "Little Billy" ln the Northern hotel with reference to holdup about March 1909,' but.it was just a casual conversation brought up by Pred Belanger as to how easy it would be to hold up the Trites-Wood money when it was coming down to Fernie from Coal;Creek.- .., " -, • - Varlow said he argued with them ' about this and pointed out that it was not so easy, and that it was not an old man that brought' lt' down either, but Mr. Long, the secretary, who was a big strbn-g,man,jand-always.carried a revolver. , "..-._';■ - He did' not give -this a . second thought; aa 'Fred" Belanger was .drunk r=at=thG^=tiinei=aiid—hG^=thou°*ht7is=--was.

JUNE 4, 1910 ■o NEW COAL FIELD DISCOVERED Seam of Eight Feet Proves Extension of Nanaimo Measures- Thirty Years' Labor, ■ (Colonist) After practically thirty years of intermittent scientific prospecting, and ' perhaps a larger number of misadventures and disappointments than usually fall to the lot of 'even that frequent victim of malicious fate, the ' coal prospector, coal thai is of practically the same character as that of tho Nanaimo field has at last been struck in quantities on Tumbo island, and there is now every reason to believe tliat those who liave persistently adhered to their confidence in the veteran Dr. Dawson's geological studies and his conclusions that the'Island coal measures underlie also the island lands in the Gulf will be richly and deservedly rewarded, The seam struck is of eight foot thickness at 871 feet deep and further * explorations will bo forthwith carried on with an augmentation of the machinery, until the full extent of the measures has been established. The fortunate present holder of the properly is Mr. Arthur B. Hepburn, now of Vancouver, one* of tho directors of the Dominion Stock & Bond Corporation, who took an option on the island properties about one year and a half ago from a trio of Victorians,'' wlio' have held them during almost thirty years: Messrs. _. W. Foster, T. B. Hall and J. A. Sayward. Not only is Mr. Hepburn's faith in* the ultimate outcome of the diamond drilling wliich has been steadily carried on during the past, 18 months now ' happily justified, but he at least sees . measurably near the day when he will ' recoup himself for the ?50,000 or more *, than he has expended in the* prospecting operations, but also an ample,pro- ,* fit which he well deserves. His en gineer, Mr. William Blakemore, M. E., upon whose ad vice he has persisted in his expenditures, has every reason to share with Mr. Hepburn's pride ih the justification of their confidence in Dr. Dawson's accuracy, the verification after many years of that expert's early geological maps of the Georgian archipelago, and demonstration of their,correctness of tho Tumbo island district as in the direct natural courso of the Nanaimo Coal measures. , Retains Property Ti is Mr. Hepburn's Intention to refuse all of the several offers tbat have already boon made for the Tumbo island properties and the future disposition of the four claims which Mr. Hepburn holds on Tumbo, with'six on ,lhe adjacent island of Saturna will await the outcome of complete Investigation of the extent and quality of the discovered measures. Ultimately the properties may bo sold, dr Mr Hepburn may decide to develop the properties himself, as he has abundant capital for the purpose, expensive as is the making'of a modern coal'mine. Tho later developments of=the boring which have been quietly carried on for the- past few months has been" very carefully observed by various wideawake investors and coal experts/ including Mr. Cloghorn, who represents the Northern Pacific' ancl the Great Northern railway in a still hunt for Island coal properties; and a number of these alert observers have already staked the whole of Galiano island, beneath which it is virtually certain the coal measures extend. Other adjacent properties' and island are being taken up as fast as vested interests can be brought into line.' ALBERTA LEGISLATURE Edmonton, May 20. =\ ee*Q-iv»l-»lir__-n!ftftt- ing today Premier Rutherford made a 0 motion, accompanied by a few prefatory remarks of. no great force, and "Cushing seconded the same: ' That this assembly go on1 record as loyal citizens,that a message of condolence be forwarded to the Royal family because of tlie loss sustained by the death of King Edward.

In the matter under consideration complete gag' law was enforced and the speaker instead of acting with that Impartiality which his offico calls (or, allowing thc member from the Rocky Mountain constituency to put forth his amendment, when it could have been soon whether or not it was permissible, he put the .question whilst O'Brien still had tho floor, thereby showing n bias from which he should bo free, and more clearly domonslrating that whon it suits the purpose of those sticklers for parliamentarism to ignore tliolr authorities thoy do not hesitate to do so. When tbo members "stood up to voto O'Brien sat, down, and upon arising lo speak ho wns mot with a' storm of hoots, yells and thon lho cry of "Out of order."

' ' * That Premier Rutherford was incompetent practically everybody * conceded, but it was not expected that the Lieutenant Governor would include the whole assembly in the same category;' as by his act in calling upon an outsider to form a cabinet he most assuredly does.

' l According to one of the reports the leader of the opposition from Calgary objected to the statement that the "King was a man-who worked little, an-Pate well," that is indeed strange unless he felt that the.truth was out of its element in the Alberta Legislature. No one can, from the viewpoint of accomplishment, aver that the late King did much work, in fact tho work of reigning monarchs is largely ornamental, and. there is always a loud blare of trumpets and much flowing of ink lo persuade the reading public of the arduous tasks performed. That everyone unless a chronic dyspeptic, is fond of good living, when it can be-indulged in is an undeniable truth. • Then why make any objection to this part of'the statement? Bad form! Hump! This may be the case,according to the standards of those'who have been educated along the lines of humbug and chicanery, yet riien of the type* of O'Brien have the characteristic bluntness of .the class from, whicli he springs of telling tbe truth and this is theVmore noticeable because of its positive directness.

A. Telt, one of the'foremost authorities on Indians in the^ Interior of this provlnco and coworker with Dr. Franz Boas of Columbia university who was ln Victoria on his way to the Qulnault reservation on* the coast of the State of Washington.- Thore he will carry out a commiss- ' fon re -quiring him to gather hurriedly for a work whlc hheolsnv. lUYMzaw .*■ for a work which he is now preparing *. for an institution, Information relative "to the ancient tribal-boundaries, and the areas covered by tho various dialects, of the Indians on that re'servat- * ■ ion. ' . • ' , ."''■.. Indian Language in Asia According to Mr. Telt a group of tribes has been discovered on the coast of Asia .who are linguistically American, despite the fact that "they are surrounded by other tribes distinctly Asiatic in their language. This is one of the pegs,upon which the theory of relationship is hung. . , Folk Lore , Recently Houghton, Mifflin; 'of.Boston, published for the American Folk . Lore society a volume by Teit oit the traditions of .the Thompson river In- - ,dians. ' Since writing tbtit he has.gathered - 300 ' other traditions handed down from generation to generation, some of which are identical with traditions of-other tribes and with traditions- of -some' of the Asiatic tribes, a . fact which-has never yet been, satisfactorily explained. He is also at work - "on texts of .the language of the Thomp- ' son river Indians, and the Dominion -gnyornmn-nt-. will" soon have, him at work on a detailed map showing the completed before long and will constitute" the last word in the, intimate study of the Indians of the Pacific Coast, their history, customs,' craft and languages. ' The work is being hurried as much as is consistent with accuracy,' owing to the fact that within a few years much of the Information needed will bo past getting. The Indians are rapidly changing, traditions are no longer preserved, and tribal customs have fallen before the advance of the white man.. .Mr. Telt declares that all the coast tribes have decreased since the whites first camo among them about 1858, - A few of the bands are holding their own, a few are oven increasing, but the vast majority of them are fast falling off. The period of adjustment is-proving ment, and 25 separate verdicts" have "been rendered. * The jury says, that the mining laws of the state were broken* with the knowledge amd consent of,the mine inspectors. The verdicts were in three sets, one set fixing the.cause of the death of the twelve men in the, rescue party, who perished on the cage in the'main shaft, another set for.the.108 men who were suffocated in the second vein, and the third for the 51 men who were trapped in the third vein, who died of exposure and suffering from suffocation. The. verdict of the jury is a vindication of John Cowley, the engineer who was in charge of tlie(cage on which the 12 re'sciiers lost their lives.

LONDON, May 31—Quite unexpectedly Theodore Roosevelt today delivered what is considered by Englishmen a severe arraignment of the attitude of the nation towards Egypt'.,, Something picturesque was looked for from the ex-president, but in view of his utterances in Egypt in which he gavo praise ln full measure to the .British government for the development that followed British rule it was not anticipated that he* would revert again to the'subject, especially for the purpose of taking England to task on the question. ■> aiity is the most broken reed on which rightenousness can lean." Duty to Stay With reference to the Soudan Mr. Roosevelt said he felt as be did about the Panama canal, although it may not pay, it was Britain's duty to stay there. In his opinion the Soudan would pay anyway. It was not worth while to belong to a big -nation tinless that nation was ready to shoulder a big task. Unprejudiced Outsider ' He prefaced his remarks on Egypt with the statement that he spoke as an unprejudiced outsider, as an American and a real democrat, whose first duty was to war against violence, injustice and wrong doing wherever it may be found. ' . He proferred his advice only on the principles on which he had acted as president when dealing with the Phil- lipines, and he declared thai the present situation in Egypt.was a grave menace to the British empire and to civilization. • ' THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE HEAD OFFICE TORONTO ESTABLISHED 1867 B.

OFFICERS GUILTY PRINCETON, 111., May 30—The coroner's ury which began last November to investigate the cause of the Cherry mine "disaster,, which resulted In tho death of-265 miners in the St, Paul coal mine, has reached an agree- England Has,Erred But with a frankness that caused a stir among those who had gathered in the ancient Guildhall to witness the ceremony of conferring the freedom of the city of London upon him, Mr. Roosevelt declared that while England had given Egypt tBe best government that country had had in two thousand years, yet recent events following the assassination of Premier Boutron Pasha had shown that in certain vital points the British government had erred, and England must repair that error if she wished to do her whole duty. , '■ i He. called attention to the fact that the prime motive for England, taking hold of Egypt was in order to restore order. "Either you have or have.not the right'to remain in Egypt and estab- lishand keep order," he said. "If you _ucy —There's a hasn't a friend in the world.1 Lulu—Lucky dog I __4J>*^ man ."who have not the righ_~aiid"have noFTli- desire to remain and keep order then by ..all means get out. But if,. as I hope your-duty .to mankind and your fealty to your own great traditions bid "you to stay, then maice the fact and the name agree'aiid show that you are ready to meotin very deed the responsibility which is yours. When a peoplo' treat assassination as the corner stone of self government, It forfeits all right to be considered worthy of self government. Some nation must govern Egypt and I hope and b'eliovo that tho English nation will bollovo and decide that tho duty to do so Is theirs." ■ . Indianapolis, May 27.

The miners of Illinois are still idle, their joint conventions having failed to-reach an agreement, and- 70,0.00 men aro on strike. The Southwest which includes Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, has failed up to'this time,to reach an agreement and there are 35,000 men idle in those Districts. , • In addition to the districts mentioned, there' are 1500 men who are still idle on strike at Springhiil, N.

FERNIE, B; C. JUNE 4, 1910 .LABOR AND ANTIMILITARISM The growing sentiment of antl-milltarism is now noticeable in almost'every country in Europe. The trials and troubles of the British recruiiinp; scrgean**. havo been described at length by these "harpies' of lho at my who with multi-colored ribbons, flying from their head gear, and n braggadacio swagger lured unsophisticated yokels to accept the "Queen's shilling." That it Is by appeals to their vanity and not to any intelligent appreciation of the* merits of the case is amplj demonstrated by the study of the birthplaces of those who make up the personnel of many Scottish regiments when the preponderance of those entitled to wear the kilts will be found to be natives of countries outside of Scotland. Today the great plaint of those interested in the upkeep of Scottish traditions is"that although the regiments who don the picturesque garb of various clans are quite numerous, there are noi more than two who have not a large admixture of othors than sons of Caledonia. All the dialects found between Giants Causeway and the Cove of Cork can be found-in one regiment, tyid in the 42nd better known as, the Clack Watch, for a comparison regarding diversity of lingual expression one may consistently make use of the stereotyped simile "a regular tower of Babel." All of these facts are in themselves straws showing the decadence of "local" patriotism, and indicative of the waning devotion of those martial pursuits that in the past have formed so thrilling a theme of song and story, That it is the costume rather than the much vaunted love of country that attracts was unanimously the verdict of the recruiting sergeants in England, tacitly given of course, when they declaimed so loudly against khaki replacing the brilliant red ,coat because of its deterrent effect upon prospective animated packages of food for powder. # ... The practical suppression by the new.si)anens_ot_all. news* regarding the opposition in different countries to consequence Canadians have been called "ingrates" to the Mother Land. One crowd wishes to make a subscription and buy a Dreadnaught, another, looking to the material interests of the Dominion, consider that home industry should be patronized. These- two factions, however, find themselves confronted by un opposition both active and passive that declines to be Inveigled into countenancing either scheme. * . Why "should"this country burden herself with the expenses incident to floating junk piles in the shape of batleships, cruisers, torpedo destroyers? Junkplle may be considered a wrong term to use to these Leviathans of the sea, but the inquisitive „who delight in looking into the cost, life and final resting places of these monuments to' m^n's stupidity, have only to investigate statistics "and ascertain for themselves that the bulk of them are declared obsolete and destroyed from time to time without performing any function whatsoever except furnishing a temporary abode for several thousand trained fighting men. Canada requires a navy because of her unprotected coast line, says thc protagonist of war. Let us look at the matter void of sentiment or prejudice. If Canada's ti possible enemy is the United States of what avail would a navy be against a country that can readily make a land invasion? If the opponent came from overseas It.would demand a navy equally as great as Britainsto attempt to protect the long coast line. * " ° >. Canada can make progress by attending to her development rather than by expending the. energy and life blood cf her youth merely'to keep alive the spirit of barbarism and butchery. Mexico with twice the population of Caanda, about one fifth tho area but with an extensive seaboard to^oth the Atlantic'and Pacific oceans, extending from 15 deg. to 32 deg. 30 m. N. lat and 87 deg. to 117 deg. W. long, being satisfied with seven small vessels, the largest a little larger, than the "Quadra," why should the country that occupies territory to the north of Uncle Sam's domains undertake to saddle herself with a bill of unnecessary expense? » Again the*people of this broad land have only to seo thc conditions in Europe to reach a' conclusion that the example is one to be avoided rather than imitated. If theso peoples whose histories are principally made ,up of ,the recitals of wars, are fast approaching a mental stage that causes them to" deprecate the arts of war with' all its horrors,, is it not tjie height of folly for a y< nation not to beneft by such an experience? THE BIG BARNES SHOWS , Monday, June 6th, Al. G. Barnes big trained wild animal circus will'open a week's engagement in this city and from,, all indications 'they, will draw big crowds to ail their performances. If is a long time since Fernie has had a chance tp see a large.tented show, and all of the exchanges from the.U. S, say that Barnes has the-largest trained wild animal show in America. Special mention must be made of the sea lions. There have been trained seals; and trained sea lions, but none quite equalling in: point of sagacious performances those that* are to be seen. with Al G. Barnes ' Big 3-Ring Wild Ainmal Circus. It is simply another demonstration of the wizard's superiority over rival trainers that, have followed in.his wake. The united and individual work of these wonderful creatures, so singularly ungainly in slippery shape by nature, so pitiful ou land, and with but stunted flippers to supply the place of hands, is the very acme of both amazing and amusing action. These amphibious creatures are equilibrists, jugglers, musicians, both catchers, clowns and bareback riders, catchers, clows and bareback rlder_ giving undoubtedly the most unique and remarkable- trained animal acts ever produced. • One of this collection, called Dick, Is positively the only seat lion that has ever been educated to mount and ride on the back of a horse, maintaining a perfect position and juggling balls, batons and lighted torches, while the horse dashes at full speed around the ring. To be seen only with the Al G.. Barnes', Big 3-Ring Wild Animal Circus. >'oung FINLAND " MARRIED . EGG—SHAW—On Saturday,-May 28, George C. Egg of'Pernie, B. a,'and . Constance H. Shaw of Montreal, P.

It is necessary, to explain in detail as there was a deuce of a rumpus about it afterward. . These three were representing Leth- -Dridg, Bellevue and Lille, and* the draw <vas ,woii*',by Bellevue^ whose representative Bob Liy.ett, refereed. The game which was very evenly contested, and had to be played thirty minutes each way, resulted in ,a draw of one -goal each. During the game some of the Lethbridge, supporters acted very _n- sportsmanlike, and abused the: referee for giving too many fouls against them —even the women took-a hand and such phrases as ','brute', "beast," etc.; being heard on ajl sides. ' It was decided to play an extra ten minutes each way to see which .would survive. In this extra time" Bellevue outplayed their opponents, making them appear like a lot of schoolboys. Only one goal resulted however as the greater part of the time was spent In hunting new footballs. The game therefore resulted in a win for Bellevue by 2 to 1. We are sorry to say that the arrangements made for the footballers were ■ rotten. There was ! no penalty area marked out, no goal lines and no side lines. , -, In addition to this people were allowed to go on tlie field during the game with no official of the sports to keop order. The Lethbridge "crowd made an-awful fuss after, the match, and collected around the referee with the intention, some thought, of mobbing him, but they only yelled and hooted,, and refrained from doing any damage, being held back no doubt by the thought that the referee' had quite a lot of friends present. ' Mr. James Ashcroft in conversation with your correspondent, who'had suggested that we play on neutral grounds for $100, jumped at the idea and excitedly wanted to-- know If it could not be made $500. Anyway, we all adjourned for some refreshments, and there was handshaking all around and then there was an end to' the squabbling. We have promised them a match In the near future, perhaps on the 1st of July. ' ' The second game was between Lille and Cowley, which had to be abandoned on account of tlie ball bursting and there.being no other available., Lille had one' goal to nothing when the accident occurred.

There was not one present but who had lost near idative, bosom friend or personal acquaintance In the explosion. , The object of the -=-. meeting was to formulate means ' to _et busy and raise a fund to help the widows and fatherless in the sad bereavement, and dire destitution which . has so unexpectedly befallen them, *- Under the chairmanship , of - Mr. Superintendent Shanks, good business was done in quick time. A fund to -be known as, the Wellington mine dis-. aster fund will remain open until August 31 next. -, ,, ' The gratitude of all, and especially ' of Cumbrians having home ties with the scene of the disaster,, goes out to those who so generously responded to the efforts of the noblo and beneficent promoters of the recent concert, also •, to the Mayor of Fernie, for the amount -collected at the memorial service of ouir late king. Still there was evid- . eiice at this meeting that there are many right through the Pass who'are > strongly in favor of something more ,- being done to help -alleviate the undoubted sufferings of these poor people. , This fund should be their op- .-* portunity and amounts, iio matter how small," sent or given to Jno. Combe, secretary and treasurer of the fund, Coal Creek, B. C, will be gratefully ' received and acknowledged by him. 1 It. may be stated that no.expenses will be charged against' contributions . to' the fund.- This-means that overy cent" glve~_j_ll_be_f prwarded—to~ths distressed quarter. ■ . ■ , , The chairman of the fund is Mr. J.

Born: On the 29th Inst., to Mr. "and Mrs. William Atherton, a fine som Martin Dooley arrived back from the coast on Sunday. A sad accident happened to T. Clare, the Creek.goal keeper on Sunday morning. He was* working as a rope rider in No. 3 mine and was riding on the front of the car when going up an incline, as is usual, when in some mysterious way he got caught by a low boom and was dragged into the empty cars, sustaining severe injury to his spine.. At first it was thought that the back 'had been broken, but on inquiry later in the week it was found * that his back was not broken, but the unfortunate _ young man was in a critical condition. It is hoped that he will have a speedy recovery as he -was very popular among the boys. ' '. ' . - • Thomas Baird, who for the past three and a half years.has been head grocery clerk up here for the Trites- Wood Company, severed his connection with that firm last month and is leaving shortly for San Francisco. He is to be succeeded here by D. A. Dick who was formerly with the Hosmer Mercantile Company. ... Sid Horton, the popular Creek butcher, has gone on a month's visit to see his folks in Winnipeg. He has not seen his parents since°he left England a number of years ago. James Maddison of the P. Burns Company in Fernie is now* acting In the meantime. An Italian named Pietro Alvesto, employed as a rope rider in No, 9 mine, mine. . President Powell and Secretary Carter explained at length the position taken by the* company. ' The matter was referred back to" the district Officers and scale committee, instructing them to again negotiate with the Company, the men not feeling disposed to accept what they consider to be a reduction on the present1 mining rates. Until such time as an agreement is arrived at the men ln the longwall will continue on company work. The ■ general feeling, is ' that rather, than accept a contract detrimental to their interests It would be better to revert to the old system of pillar and stall. The Are You Crazy Company paid us a visit this week* and drew an exceptionally large house, particularly so considering the time of the month. It Is a screaming farce comedy, and one of the best tonics for a fit of the blues that can be indulged in. The general opinion as to its merit is contained in the one word "Champion." The legal lights foregathered here this week to deal with the compensation case of J. Buscovltch who was killed away,back in February last in No. 4 mine. This is a contested, compensation case in which the company.are endeavoring through their counsel W. R.

Fortunately it happened in the daytime and his live stock and wagons were all in use outside. If Is not known how it originated and was well under way before It was discovered. The house adjoining was only saved, after great effort. The football match last Saturday between Moyie and Michell resulted in another scalp being added to Michel's belt, Moyie scoring one goal to Michel two. The return .match will be played this Saturday when it is expected a good crowd will go to the city by the lake, so-that Michel will be afforded an opportunity of taking a lesson' in western hospitality for which Moyie is so famous.

Goupill, Waldorf Hotel. of ■ One of the social forces at work today in the,anthracite region of Northeastern Pennsylvania is thc mine school.1 The economic and sociological conditions in are peculiar. Within an area about five hundred square miles is contained the entire anthracite supply of the United States. Anthracite is responsible for the large population in this region. Directly or Indirectly practically the whole population . de- ponds upon the mining industry. The need for labor has brought to this region large numbers of foreign immigrants, They come from every part of Europe, and there are some of the mines in which from fifteen to twenty languages are spoken by the workers. Naturally such a situation ■creates trouble. To assimilate these foreigners Is a problem, lt is generally recognized - of course, that the real solution! and it must be gradual, is " education. The public schoools, libraries, numberless , benevolent, and ' patriotic organizations, are all assisting in the work. The mining company, the operator, is leading in it. The operator is more directly interested in the quality of mine labor than anyone else. He sees good coal going to-waste because the men who are mining it are not,well trained. Sometimes he sees a life lost, because the worker, out of ignorance or carelessness bred of. ignorance has disregarded the rules that were designed for his protection. He'sees - what the real remedy must be and he ha_ set about "to provide it by the '- establishment of schools.

Gradually tho drawing is mado .more complex, until at the end of the term each student, is capable of making an intelligent drawing of an elaborate piece of machinery. The'■■senior class course also contains problems useful to moulders, machinists and miners. Another branch of J instruction is foundry practice. ■ | Frequent visits to the school are I ade by the superintendent of shops machinery and by the various heads of the mining deparement. They scrutinize the work of the students, and thus it is made obvious to every attendant that the management is alive |o .the progress that he is making. A change in the routine ' work comes in tbe form bf illustrated talks. mu and Language Problem In the southern district the Philadelphia and Reading runs special cars in order to glvo the employees an opportunity to attend the meetings of tho Institutes..; Among the experts who have made addresses for the benefit of the mine workers are Dr. J. A. Holmes of-the Geological survey, Col. B. W. Dunn, cliief of the department for the safe transportation of'explosives, and also Prof. Monroe,. consulting chemist of the Gedlogical Survey and Navy department. . One of the greatest tasks faced by the Y. M. C. A. in this work, is to reach the non-English .speaking miner. At a meeting in, Carbondale it was seen that 100 men present did not Every now and then some expert is spcak Engi*sh; at a meeting in Potts Formerly the English speaking and ' Teutonic ' races predominated in the anthracite region, Many of these men had been brought up in mining communities. Men who had had yours of experience in the mines of England, Scotland and Wales were attracted to this country by the higher pay and tho botter conditions of work, A number oil llioni aro Htlll lo bo found In tho hard coal fields, but relatively speaking, their part in tho production of anthracite" has become less and and loss important. Now the mining industry has to l*e- ly on a class of Europeans whose traditions and experience havo nothing to do with mining. Immigrants of Southern and Eastern Europo have filled' the region, whilo competent minors havo been discouraged from ever coming hy tho lnw whloh demands two years service in tlio Pennsylvania nn- thnielto'region beforo a minors certl- flcnio can bo grunted, Thus Una arisen lhe necessity for bolter training, Several of tho mining companion havo established school Iioukoh which they conduct for the benefit of their employees. These employees, no matter In what branch of mining work thoy may bo, arc encouraged to attend. Tho powerful Inducement Ih tho ultimate promotion sure to follow faithful study.

These talks are informal and members of the class are at liberty to question the expert. . The practical value of tho school has been demonstrated by its results. , Many, men who took advantage of the opportunity for instruction have shown marked improvement and have already been rewarded by promotion. They'had the-ability and the schools brought it out by setting "their minds to worl*j. ... Recently the company established a school for the employees of the collieries iij the Shenandoah division. .The session's.are held in ' a public school building iu the town. This school ircrs-ior-its^urpose-t-he-preparatioiuof. mine workers for the examination for mine foremans certificates. The head of the school is the mining engineer of the district. ; Very few'of the attendants.have had [ha advantage of much'' educ&tion, ville it was calculated that 70 per cent of the men present were df.the noii- English speaking races. In Scranton there,have been definite plans for the separate instruction of the Poles. At one meeting in the Wyoming region the mine workers were addressed in three foreign tongues, Polish, Italian and Lithuanian. Thus the system of practical education spreads in the anthracite region. Though its effects "will be chiefly felt in the anthracite region itself, it,has already brought about an improved state in other places. Only a month' or two ago one of the great mining companies in the bituminous district around Pittsburg established' a school modelled after* the OneS-UliU™ai trail. <_du,r—*uiiuw_ ., the anthracite region, ly to encourage its branch managers to" go after the customers of other banks. ' .* With the sensible lessening of this brand of competition is likely to be a slight stiffening of the terms regarding rates of interest and escurity. When the banker knows that any one of half a dozen banks will be glad to take a,certain loan, he cannot be as particular as he would like to be In regard to the collateral or security to cover It. But when his funds are well ■employed and other banks are not meddling with or canvassing for his accounts he can hold out for the security and the interest which he thinks he should get. ' ** ' Tho present cannot be described as a period of stringency. „ The .machinery of credit' is not as yet working at high strain in this country. Rather is liTa stage prior to that. All the wheels are turning or nearly all of them.' The banker has the same pleasurable feeling as the manufacturer, all the departments of whose establishment are.working full time'on profitable contracts. It is hardly within anyones power to say when the strings will tighten* to such an extent as to produce actual scarcity. A variety of factors are at work; and while we have a good idea as to those which are dominant at present, we know not now which will give the color to the situation of several months hence.' Probably the most Important single factor now at work is the movement of outside capital to the Dominion. During 1909 that proceeded .on a very large scale, but apparently the requirements of Canada's commerce and industry increased faster than tlie foreign moneys employed here accumulated. Our commerce.and industry are still rising rapidly; and, there is thus foreshadow-, ed a rapid increase in the commercial demands for credits. It is to be hoped that there will be no diminution in the flow of capital into this country, Amalgamated Society, of Carpenters » and Joiners: Meets In the Miners* Union Hall. ■ A.

Depuis une di- zaine d'annees le prix de tous ce qui est necessaire a la vie a augmente presque dans la meme proportion que Ie' prix des mulets.*' II est meme probable que c'est a cause de cette augmentation que" les* marchands de mulets ont aussi augment^ le prix de leurs betes. .* ■ THE LABOR WORLD BY It.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : J. W. Bennet |
Date Issued | 1910-06-04 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
