Report of Geological Survey Calls Attention to Fact That All Except
Gold and Silver Are Nearing Ex- '
haustion, Coal Heading List
As Most Wasted
Product.
So many and so conflicting liave
boen the' rumors and reports relative
to the conditions In this eastern coal
camp that the casual reader might be
lead to imagine that rioting and
rowdyism were everyday occurences
and that the town must necessarily
present more the appearance of a'
military camp, knowing by practical
experience that when all other means
have proven useless* the corporations
do not hesitate to spread malicious
reports through the press with the
expectation of damning their opponent's side with a view to creating
prejudice against them in the eyes
of the public much after the style
of tlie lawyer when he has no case to
start badgering . the witness. We
wired to the secretary of Local 469
TJ. M.W. A. at Springhiil, N., S. and
below we append his reply.
Springhiil, N. S.,'July 2S, 1910.
District Ledger, Fernie, B. C: ■■ ...
The strike situation, remains unchanged. . The ■ position of the miners
is stronger and prospects for a fair
deal * with the company ■ is ^brighter
tonight than at any. time before. The-
wild reports in the press of the controlling . and financial interests are
gross exaggerations well" known to
those who make them. No conditions
have arisen In Springhiil requiring the
presence of soldiers,* Official records
which are. following by mail' show
clearly that' the trouble occurred "in
Springhiil was' made by the imported
■: elements. All that has been and said
''is expressly" to'try to break up the
ranks, and failure to do so has met
* them' on every hand.""" The";military
in the aid of,the soldiery, the cost
of which will' be saddled upon the
community. While militia companies
may furnish the material for physical
development to young men at a minimum, of cost to them and when, recruits are wanted the social and
physical advantages of joining are always put prominently forward while
the real obpect of their existence is,
conveniently*evaded. A captain of a
British Columbia militia having great
difficulty in securing enough recruits
for his company because ' of the
strenous objections of the local unions
mentioned the circumstances to the
inspecting officer when*he made his
official visit, stating that the men
objected to join fearing that they
might be called, out: to .ghoot their
fellow townsmen, the reply of this
gentleman was certainly halve if not
reassuring, that the-men need have
no^ fear that they would be expected
to be called out for local work in the
event of trouble, but companies from
other towns would be called upon to
do this work because "thoy had no
relatives or friends engaged in the
strike. How nice! In other words'if
there were demands for the militia
say—in Fernie, call1 would be made
upon Nelson or some other town and
vice versa.1 Those .wlio still entertain
any doubts as to the real object of
the existence of' militia have only to
take Springhiil, N.'S., and Brockville,
Ont., as showing the naked, truth.
What thinking man or woman in the
face of these concrete facts can still
maintain that there' Is . no CLASS
STRUGGLE? :,.-■-..

GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY <►
SYSTEM. ♦
In the following striking approximate dates for the disappearance of
some of, the most Indispensable of
■natural mineral resources of the country i the geological survey calls the
attention of the public to a.figurative
tomorrow:
Coal, exhausted in 2040,
Petroleum, exhausted in 1959.
Iron ores, exhausted lh 1939.
Lead ores, exhausted in, Indeterminate.
Gold, exhausted in, indeterminate.
.Copper, exhausted in, indeterminate.
Zinc, exhasted'in, Indeterminate.*'
Phosphates, exhausted in 1934.
The figures havo been taken from
files oi the survey's publications and
a canvass of the situation has been
prepared in a special bulletin. The
chief implied charge ln the work is
that wanton waste has been going on
in the production of many of these
nature's supplies, .and that one of the
first moves in retrenchment should
be more economical methods in mining and distribution.
Coal heads th'e list as the most
wasted of all products, losing ,50 per
cent of the original deposit in the
mining and marketing. The greatest
of these'losses comes from leaving
thin strips of coal in the veins 'and
in thicker strata as pillars supporting the mine roof. But, thousands
more.tons find their way to the slate
and shale dumps, while from the first
movement-in shipping a loss is suf-,
fered through shattering and weathering and haulage, until the, fuel; Is at
the-furnace floor. And even then bad
firing under boilers occasions another
extravagance,' complained of scarcely
less by a general public which protests against the unconsumed gases,
soot and smoke. „
: As the national survey,sees it, however, the' situation as to petroleum is
much more serious. This mineral oil
has been'in use only about 50 years,
while if consumption and waste still
goes on. it will hay_e__d_ls_appeared with-

For some time*, past, various suggestions have been made by coal companies as well as-coal miners regarding the advIsitb"]i'ifc_.,of -consulting the
parties most'affected in acts dealing
with their work. These have practically been crystallized by the,framing of a proposed bill "to the Coal
Mines Regulation Act" and the provincial government commissioned two
of its servants who are enthusiasts
on all that porlalns to their dopartmont, to go through the different
camps and meet, with the representatives of the coal companies and tho
mlno workers for the purpose of discussing with thom tho pros and cons
of this bill. *

DECOUXS CASE
UNEQUALLED
Publicity, of This Notorious Charge
Moves Company to Back Up-
Innocent Man in Jail
Recently we read in one of our* exchanges' that "It is said that tho
prosecution .contemplate withdrawing
the charge of murder against A. Decoux of'Frank and preferring a less
i.
serious charge against him." We do
not know upon what authority this
item was based or whether it* was a
mere tentative expression, however,
we do know that the unfortunate victim of one of the most arbitrary acts
ever, committed in Canada is at present incarcerated in the., prison at Maeleod and although the powers that
be have been communicated with at
Edmonton no definite action has been
taken. The alacrity shown by the
prosecution in railroading this man
lo gaol is the direct anthesis of the
energy shown by the Alberta government! in instituting an,investigation in
order to ascertain the merits of the
case. Many of these gentlemen at'
Edmonton will loudly proclaim on the | ot_Aluel3a
hustings during an, election campaign
of the glorious liberties guaranteed
under the aegis of the Union Jack,
but if by your acts ye shall know
them their reluctance to , take any
measures looking towards demonstrating belief in their wordy utterances
is patent "to all save, his hidebound
partisans. A little less claptrap and,
..more activity would be the best evidence of an intention to square their
words with their deeds on the part
of these pseudo representatives of the
people. Don't be alarmed gentlemen,
but the working class to whom .you
are indebted' for your political positions are' slowly coming to a realiza-
have this burden to bear, his littlo
ones deprived of a father's care and
lovo, and an old mother grieving at
ihe ignominy heaped upon her boy ■*
whose past life has been pursued with
the humdrum ordinary incidents of a
coal miner. Although a stranger in
a strange land, accused of a heinous
crime, there Is a band of his follows
without thought' of the imaginary
lines of country constantly harped
upon for the* purpose pf creating sectionalism, who aro now showing their
resentment al the treatment meted
out to ono of their own class and by
framing of resolutions are giving vent
to-their righteous indignation to be
followed by .the exercise of the franchise that will not leave thoir only

he at present enjoys in the' Alberta

Injunction Doesn't
Stop Miners' Prayer
Pennsylvania Strikers Evicted From
Homes and are Forbidden
To March or Picket
GREENSBURG, Pa., July.30.—The
miners in the vicinity of Irwin, Westmoreland county, are on strike for- an
eight-hour workday, recognition of
the union and a check weighman. Thu
operators are willing to concede a
clicck weighman if thc men will permit, them to select him.
The miners do nol accuse the honorable gentlemen who own the mines
of cheating in weight, but-'tis human
to err; overworked weigh masters will
make mistakes or be careless. So the
miners want one of their number to
stand at the scales and check off the
weight of each carload of coal and
ronort to the men blanks furnished
by the union. This checkwoighman
the roiners°will pay themselves.
■* Some of the bitterest battles ever
fought in the coal regions have been
waged over the right to put a man
on thc tipple lo see tho coal weighed.
Operators always claim that thoy nro
not cheating. Maybe they're not. But
if nor, 'why object to the check weighman? '.
A sweeping injuuclioii has boon issued against (he miners by County
, Judge -McConncll, forbidding thom to
inarch on the public highways, forbidding any of* the strikers to walk
past the mines. Whcji0lhe strikers
were evicted from Ihe company's

another movement -would surely make
its appearance, lt would not hesitate
at such destruction as its advocates
believed necessary to the advance of
their / principles. , The successive
moves of the different .branches of
the government having as an object
the suppression of trades unionism
would surely bear their fruits with the
masses. -Iii Milwaukee whatever
other influences , brought about the
results of the election, one important
factor was the vote of protest. The
indignation of tlie man who works and
is being flouted by the courts, neglected by congress, scorned by the attorney general's department and robbed
by the trusts and other ."interests" is
passing beyond" bounds hitherto generally observed. .This man is not going 16 hesitate at* voting under the
name of Socialist, though he may reject Socialism's final principles; he
wants a slap at' the discredited party
machines. He would rather be for a
time with the crowd, that declares it
is .for tho people than with the rings
that have shown themselves to bo the
paid servants of plunderers as well as
traitors to the general welfare."
Mr. Gompers must surely realize,
that capitalism ' controls all the
functions of government.'-" Experience
and observation have taught thoughtful men long ago, that the.legislative,
judicial and executive departments of
government are in tbe .hands of a
class of privilege, and that under
such circumstances, no reasonable
man could expect justice from captains of industry who mint dividends
from industrial oppression.
Mr. Gompers has been arrayed
against Socialism and has hurled his
denunciations against Socialism with
as much indignation a,s the bloated
millionaire, who has piled up his fortune on the sweat, tears and-blood
of ill-paid toil, but regardless of the
protests of Gompers against Socialism
the organization of which ho has been
president for so many years, is _turn-
ing to the doctrines of'-a," party", hat
will 'ultimately bring economic, liberty
to the nations of the world, , *
' Capitalism, with its countless thousands of hire-lings" drawing salaries as
writer's and orators, * are thundering
their protests against the "red
spectre," but the movement -for human liberty is becoming mightier, and
men of hope and courage are now beginning to >see. the 'faint tints of a
coming co-operative commonwealth.

Pertinent Question Asked by French
Writer—Parents Have to Pass
the Doctor.
. PARIS, July .'iO.—The question of
Franco's depopulation continues to inspire the pens'of patriotic writers in
tho-French—press:—"Is-a cow-ror—a--
child worth more ■ in Franco?" asks
Clement' Vautel in the. Matin, and in
furnishing the answer he'reveals* a
feature of rural life in France'which
might have been elaborated by a Zola.
Take, he says,, a village .-which he
names,in Auvergno. Fifteen children
have died of diphtheria there within
a short space of time. The village is
M miles from the nearest town where
a doctor is to be had. So tlie doctor
charges $8 a visit,
The peasants are poor; thoy only
cnll the doctor in cases of extreme
urgency, mostly when it Is loo late,
But, suppose a peasant hns a cow
which" he suspects has' got tuberculosis, what happens? x
Ho'glves notico lo tho village burgomaster;, tho latter passes It on to tho
prefect, and tho prefect orders lho
veterinary surgeon of the nearest
(own to examine thonanlmnl. What
doos the peasant have to pny? Not n
cent,, The veterinarian draws his
fixed $6 a visit from the slnto.
Whnt is ovon bettor, If ,tho cow has
lo bo destroyed tho farmer gots a
compensation, sometimes oxcoodlng
lhe value of the boast. "To savo a
diseased cow," tho writer exclaims,
"the official mnchlno works at ■ full
speed. But to savo a French child
not a dollar Is sncrlflced!"
VICTORIA, July 30.—John Arbuth-
not'of Victoria', liasaleft for Montreal'
to conclude an agreement, for the sale
of the Pacific Coast Coal Mines 'company's property on Vancouver island
to the C. P. R. The purchase price
is said to be $4,000,000. • *
The properties involved in the' deal
are the South Wellington mine near
I.adysmith, and a large area of coal
lands at Suquash, near Port McNeill^
at the northeastern end.of Vancouver
Island. The Smith , Wellington mine
is now producing nearly 1,000 tons
of coal dally. The other ground al
Suquash is no*w* being developed. It,
was the first coal land opened up
on Vancouver Island, and over GO
years ago furnished a limited coal
supply to British warships.-

7 ii MINING SITUATION
Editor Mine Worked, Journal:..*
For the -benefit' of the readers. of
the Journal and our membership I
desire to write a few lines reviewing
the situation as it exists in the different mining districts of the country.
." Several settlements have been made
in the Broadtop field -of -Central
Pennsylvania by<-Board Member Haggerty and'Organizer-McKay; •
'.- ' The strike is still on In. the Irwin
. district of Pennsylvania. The details
: have been reported through the columns of the Journal from1 time to
time by those who are bn the ground.
. There" are over 5;000 men on strike
.in.Ohio in:the Tuscarawas county district and in the'.Crook'sville district.
These men are on strike against reducing the differentials that have existed in those sections.- In the Crooks-
ville* district the differential in the
mining,rate over the Hocking district
■■was - secured after the anthracite
. strike, and the differential was conceded by ,tho operators because of
- the vein being thin and other reasons
which were" oxplalned at that time.
., In Illinois we'still have about 45,000
men' on strike'and they have been
■ .idle ever since the lst of "April. •• A
, conference- was held of the representatives of-the operators and miners of
1 Illinois in Chicago on July 5 and tZ,
but without results. The international
executive board .is now in session' ih
this city, and representatives of the
.Illinois operators and .miners' organization were invited to appear before the international executive board
to explain the'situation in Illinois
■from their respective standpoints:
A** commit tee- of five members of
. the,.international executive board has
-been appointed-to meet a'* like committee of the operators of Illinois for
' .'.the -purpose of trying to' find -some
"solution, for their difficulties existing
in District 12. The committees-ara
now at work. '
,- \ We have about 30,000 men on strike
"in Districts 14, 21 , and ' 25,- bettor
known as the Southwest. Those .men
have'.also been idle, since'the. first of
April. At the present time'both scale
.committees are at*-work* in Kansas
• Cily endeavoring "^ to 'agree ^upon a
proposition which is to be", submitted
Iq the miners' and ■ operators' representatives in joint*, convention.
The members of our organization
- in.Northern "Colorado have also been

number cf. 2,000,' and the effort "to
operate the.mines with* non-union men
in Colorado has not been successful,
It- is to be hoped that a*conference
can.,be arranged, and • in*, the near
future, with a view of tryin'g.to'bring
about a settlement of.** the strike in
that* district. .. - _ * ' 7"-_ 7 ''
. The miners and operators .of Wyoming met.in Cheyenne'.lastj-week in joint
convention, hut adjourned "without re-
&nlts; to a future date.
. The miners and operators of Washington, . District 10,,'are in ioint convention endeavoring to agree upon* the
terms of a wage contract for that district. It is to be hoped that they will
be able to reach a satisfactory set-
tlcmen pf the questions at issue.,
-It can be said of the men who are
on strike, that- they have conducted
.themselves in a manner that com-
hiands the respect and admiration of
every intelligent, peaceful, law.abiding
citizen, of our- counetry. A strike involving nearly 100,000 men for nearly
four months aiul involving nearly 300,-
000 for, many weeks without any disturbance of any, kind or' character is
something new' in the industrial affairs'* of our country. Usually strikes
of'such a magnitude precipitate friction and disorder, .riot and everything
incident thereto, *
In .the present' strike, operators and
miners 'seem to have' decided that,
regardless of the merits of the' questions at issue,*-.the contest should be
peaceful and lawrabiding in every respect. - ■" - .,
It is to- be hoped that a solution of
the present difficulties existing in the
mining industry, will be found' in the
near future and that the industry itself in ail the"-districts where strikes
now'exist will be restored to a normal
condition', in, order tbat the mine
workers may find employment and the
mines be in operation.' --.'*"'
., The ■ International Executive Board,
now in session, will * do ..everything
in' its power to bring about a solution
of tho present ^strikes,• and we hope
that the mine owners, in all of the
districts affected will recognize the
necessity ■' of- co-operating along , lines
that will, re-establish that 'mutual relation that should exist for1 the good
of the industry itself and.the welfare
of all who are directly and-indirectly
dependent upon, mining. ' * *•
' Yours very truly,, „

.PITTSBURG, Pa., July' 30.—Tl_e
struggle in the' Irwin coal fields is assuming.the proportions of a death'
struggle between the strildng miners
and the operators. To the murder of
Putlcr, who. was shot lo death*' last
week by a* drunken sheriff, has been
added a new. outrage of a still more
desperate* character. ■ „•"..
Deputies Act Outrageously.
Three deputies entered the house of
Jacob rCohen, near the' Etna Mine No.'
2, shot and severely-beat Cohen and
injured ms wife and baby. .' r;
Tlie number of dead since the
strike "began in; March, reaches a total, of seven, three, of whom are .women. A bitter feeling of resentment
has. been aroused by the cruel treatment'administered by the deputies,
who'are not protecting lives a'nd prop~
erty, but are carrying on a highhanded . orgy of murder and destruction.
Twenty Thousand Men on Strike.
Twenty thousand men are out on
strike in the- Irwin" coal fields and
totally unorganized at the beginning,
are now working in perfect solidarity
and are carrying-on the battle for ah
eight-hour day with determination.
, -The months of enforced idleness are
"being felt in the majority of the.
homes and evictions from the company-houses are of almost daily occurence. Added to .these conditions,
is the constant fear.of the deputies,
who, they .realize, are , the tools of
the employers. '-*.'*'
• Mass Meeting Held. ''" -"
A giant mass meeting was held yesterday at* which'thousands of,strikers
gathered in protest: Prominent union
officials addressed the meeting. The
indignation, of the strikers.is keyed
to such a high pitch that a serious
uprising will- take place, unless the
deputies are withdrawn aud the demands of the strikers complied with—
an eight-hour day and the recognition
of the union. ■ , * *
The union officials are encouraging
the men • to keep up tlieir spirit.
Local President."Feehan, Vice. President Van Bittner^ Michael. Halapy,
Frank B. Barthaldy and George Guzi
addressed the demonstration meeting,
which was held close to the grass-
grown mouth ofthe Jamison Coal and

"••'"^ OF" MANY CO^TTMINERS
' TERRE' HAUTE, Ind.,'' July - 30.—A
secondary shaft, called a "manway,
saved the lives of many of the 200
men' that were at work In the Hocking Coal mine, near Farmersburg,
when* the top machinery burned late"
today';' Flaming embers fell'into tho
workings of* the main shaft and the
workings soon were filled with smoko.
Sixteen, mules are believed to have
been suffocatod."* When the fire
started at the head of the main shaft,
tho' telephone system was used to order the miners to hurry out by the
mnnway. As tho mon emerged they
were met by an nnxious throng of
their1 womcui folks. The. Inst, to come
out said the smoke hnd pressed them
hard. " ' ■*
The'' comrades ..who." invested their'
$50, $100, $200, $500 and $2,0.0, and
savings in'other amounts in th-*";

of paying 1.&00 per cent that tha investors stand a chance to loso every
dollar they invested.', And this is the
mine that Wilshire described as "The

it .is my private opinion that a child
should do without any meat at all.
If-meat Is given, 'none but the following" should receive any" consideration.
Beef—Roast beef,* steak or boiled
chopped meat, .with --a little buttor.
Lamb—Broiled lamb chops, A child
over three can eat roast- leg of, lamb.
■ Poultry—The white part of roasted'
or broiled chicken, .the white pari of
roast turkey or squabs.
; Fish—Any kind, if * care Is tnkon
thai all bones are taken out. All
fish should either be boiled or broiled
never fried.
■ Vegetables—-Thero aro a great variety of vegetables from which you
can choose. But tho first to bo considered,is spinach, as it contains all
the chemicals which the blood needs,
Thon come' asparagus, siring .beans,
green' pciis;'" cauliflower and ' beets,
All .vegetables must be woll cooked,
mashed and.seasbned with a little snlt.
and buttor. ,
Ceronls—A child should gel cerenl
at lonst' onco dally, as It Is vory nourishing. The following aro to bo preferred: Farina, .hominy, whonlena,
oatmonl, cream of wheat' and rice.
All cereals must bo boiled nt lonst
one hour and n half, but. oatmeal,
hominy and rico should bo boiled nl
lonst two nnd n hnlf hours. Those
cereals should be glvon with vory
littlo sugar, a littlo bull or orcronm,
Fruit—A child should novor gel any
othor but. rlpo fruit, and nono but tho
following: Ornngo, applo, pear,
prunes (not plums), iiIho chorrlos nnd
grnpoB. Tho latter aro objcclionablo
on nccount of (heir Hoods, but If lho
soods of tho chorrlos nnd grapes aro
taken out they are very healthful, It
Is noodloHB to soy that If tho child Is
not old enough lo chow thq fond right
tho npplos or pours Hhould ho scrnpoil,
nnd in nny cftso only tho Juice of the
ornngo should ho glvon, A child
should 'never got ■ nny berries, bananas, moloiiB or ponchos. The lottor

was $1.50 when the presumptive traveler only* had $1.25.
No! the ticket would be issued to cover the distance
which this amount would buy, in like manner as these
are all commodities so is the labor power of the worker
AND it is as illogical for him to give more than he Is
paid for as it is for the sellers of the various articles
enumerated.
JOHN D. AND THE COST OF LIVING.
In this week's issue we complete the reproduction of a
proposed bill amending "The Coal Mines Regulation Act."
We have printed installments each week feeling that, by
so doing tliere would be a better opportunity, for our
readers wh'.-» are interested in the coal mining industry
to read over the different chapters and clauses and
digest them better than if its publication had been made
all at once. When we started these extracts we prefaced
ihem with a request that any suggestions of amendment,
improvement or additions of*any kind cither with,regard
to the text, or to the objects involved would be acceptable
and that we would give them space in our columns.
Furthermore for the purpose of aiding those, to whom
our suggestions might not be sufficiently clear we outlined certain portions that we'thought could be improved
quoting the original and then giving our views. "As an
evidence of the deep interest that has been -displayed
by those whose welfare is effected by this proposed legislation we would feel that our efforts had not been wholly
useless if ten letters had been sent in, nay more, even
five, but instead of this small number candor compels us
lo tell the truth and quote the exact number of responses
to have reached the astounding figures of .000000.
There are many features of this proposed bill that are
decidedly superior to those contained in its predecessors
, still there is room for still further improvements and yet
they wlio ought to- be most interested are positively
apathetic.
This method of framing legislation is highly commendable and they who have, been instrumental in its initiation have shown that they believe that by submitting it
-J *-»_*■ li.f_nj-_t-i»l*rt*-«_if_Tk--i*-_e■__■*■■-m.nil«r_nf_an4c-!__-V-.ri_ H*i-aflvi'_r*if_imQiiv.

mon many minds" would have a complete exemplification.
In brief it is the application of the referendum in practice.
Naturally it was, expected that this plan would result in
the making of a piece of remedial legislation that would
be rjeplete with beneficial clauses, but no, they who are
constantly grumbling at conditions do not even display
energy enough to write a single letter relative to' the
riueslion* but in the event, of omissions of which they
thought about but did not take the trouble to put on
paper they will growl and wonder why it did not form a
' part of tho bill and more than likely attempt lo shoulder the blame on the local or district officers; this is not
fair as these men aro constantly kept busy and It was
to all and everybody that tho request was made,, fortunately, however, theso men have taken up the pro-
■posed bill duvlnt. tlio current week with Deputy Mlnlstor
of Mines R. 13. Tolmio and Chief Mines Inspector Francis
If. Shophonrd, and no doubt the result of their deliberations will result in certuln Improvements being mndo,
still hnd nil responded offering suggestions there would
li.'ivn boon moro incorporated In this anticipated net. The
oporal ors also hnvo brought thoir observations to tlio
notice of theso two gentlemen as that It Is the objoct of
Iho departure I, e. to get tho opinions and advice of both
tho employes and tho employers; wo do not know how
llio Inttor responded yet we fcol safe in stating Ihnt they
gavo II. fnr moro consideration llinn llio rank nnd file of
lho mlnoworkors.
,Oyez! Oyez! all, ye who have long pondered over the
best means to be adopted in order to decrease the
butcher's, the baker's, the clothier's, the landlord's and
the innumerable other bills that the pocketbook has calls
upon it. The oracle has spoken, therefore let no dog
bark. Put away all fear* of starvation or even impecuni-
osity and hang up the fiddle and tho bow and take down
the sickle and the hoe and get ready to make energetic
use of these useful instruments of agriculture as the tools
whereby the problem that dias puzzled the brains and
furnished so much copy for the printer by the many
saviors of society is now solved by their use. First get
a small plot of land. .Sow to get possession some may
ask, that is beside the question the main thing to get it is
get and after this is effected purchase a hoe,-a rake, a

espied the sharp fin of a man-eating shark behind him,
turning rapidly back he made all speed shoreward

to have somebody make a satisfactory

r A-mission hall has been completed,
which is perhaps the first one of its
kind in - Western Canada. This is
built at the expense of Glyn Vivian
of Swansea, whose hobby is building
sueh institutions for the benefit o£
miners. The hall is in charge of Mr.
Moore. . The opening meeting was
held last Friday. Probably,, being a
'Welshman, he recognizes the 'need of
such places for his fellow.countrymen.
A resolution was passed at the
regular meeting: "We, Local 1058,
assembled at regular meeting (July
10th) do hereby tender our heartfelt
sympathy to Mrs. George Martin and
A children in this, lier* hour of distress,
by the loss of her husband and
father and our dear brother.' "That

period. (Signed) William Patterson,
president; J. O. Jones, financial secretary; Roland Archer, recording secretary."
The - license inspector was here re.
cently and stated that the hotel must
be re-furnished throughout and a new

Again I have to,, chronicle one of
those fatalities which seem to be an
unavoidable accompaniment to the industry of coal mining and' yet they
are altogether too frequent in this
locality as the percentage of thousands of tons of. coal .extracted, per
man killed or injured is far less than
the amount mined in other countries
where the natural conditions are certainly no' better, and if... anything in
those districts where'very deep mining is carried , on decidedly worse.
Various reasons have been advanced
to account for the disparity between
this country and the European continent, but few have stated that in consequence of ,tlie ' higher profits demanded on this side of the world the

COAL CREEK BY 174
new bill, Coal Mines fiegulation Act
Although volumes have been written
about the evils of drink aiid to many
of us thoy are well known as we see
instances of the effects of intemperance quite frequently, still when-
an exceptionally., sad caso comes lo
notice we feel sorry for the sufferers
and then often go on our way without
further thought. There is nt the present tlmo a most distressing and heart
rending case right here in Coal Creek.
One of our residents, who Is addicted
to the booze habit, was arrested In
Fernie for drunkenness and locked np
in tho City gaol, meanwhile his family
suffers. His wife Is In a delicate
condition and there Is practically no
'money with which to buy tho necessaries so Important at such limes.
Tho now law that prohibits chronics
and notorious spendthrifts from being
served will, if enforced, lesson tlw
number of sufferers,
Tho now boarding house at Conl
Croek is fnst approaching completion
and unless unexpected clrcumstnncos
arlfio to prevent tho occupancy will
commence Thursday noxt, tho 4lh of
August. ■ Tho splendid construction arrangements nro tho work of J. J.
Wood from plans furnished hy Richard
Roaf, tho chief englnooi' for tho conl
company, nnd the lossoo Mr. Robert
FnlrclouRh Ih determined that this
Institution shnll bo Hocond to nono In

object. Thoro will bo CO woll equipped hodroomB, steam heated and electrically lighted, comfortable smoking

"the-unluciry~victlm"'"was_ Mike"JagosT
or as his name sounds in' English,
Yargos. He, it appears was busy at
work in 107 pillar No. 2 when a slip
of rock and coal became detached unexpectedly and falling upon him broke
his leg and also doubtless inflicted
internal injuries as ho failed to rally
and died In the hospital to which
place he was conveyed for medical
attention as speedily as possible after
he was taken out-of the mine. The
coroner's inquest wa_f*"called, but after
meeting and attending to the preliminaries the adjournment was made
until Thursday at 3 p, m.
The deceased was 38 years of age,
married, his- family consisting of a
wife, two girls aged 12 and 8 respectively, and a boy of six yonrs,
residing in Gmlna Radzlhaw, Gallcyia.

George Kellock, Coleman's center
forward had lho plensnro of greeting
Crawford's direction, left nothing to
be desired, on that score. The eyes
were pleased by pretty sights, the
ears regaled by melodious strains and
the sense'of taste was afforded ample
opportunity for practice on ice cream,
sandwiches and cake by those who
followed,. out the advice of the cynic
how to tame the unruly man, viz:
"Feed the brute." The disciples'1 ac
the shrine of Terpischore were numerous and they certainly showed. the
ardency of their devotion by tripping
merrily along until the youthful hours
bi the morning. Congratulations and
expressions of * pleasure "were flying
around everywhere and their is no
gainsaying the .fact that the executives of the tennis club so ably aided
by the ladies are to be,complimented
on the function.
A nasty accident took place at the
Carbondale Lumber company's works
last Saturday when "John Palian, an
employe, had the misfortune to receive
severe" Injuries to his hand caused
by the head of his axe flying off the
handle and. severing the sinews aud
leaders between the chumb and forefinger.' He is reported to be progressing favorably.
What is the*1 matter with the Coleman football "club? Comments were
freely passed by the spectators' and
while we refrain from' reducing them
to cold print we sincerely hope the
committee heard the criticisms and
may profit therefrom because we are
compelled, reluctantly it is true, to
acknowledge, that they were merited.
One of the greatest drawbacks to improvement in all phases of life is the
resting upon one's oars and living on
a past reputation instead of keeping
constantly in view the need of practice. To sleep, to dream,, after you're
dead may be proper, but there's no
reason for anticipating this condition
whilst alive. Frank were entitled to
the goal they secured and if it acts
as a stimulus to our boys to get inlo
their training clothes even if. the
pruning knife has to* be used the Wesson will not. be without its benefits.

those engaged in chicken, duck,

that this publication is a product of

as a guide than if from an Eastern

E. Creigliton has decided to take up

highly recommended from the previous
places where she has been engaged in
the tuition of vocal and instrumental
music as well as Hie theory. Her
kindergarten methods are in harmony
with the most advanced for leaching

gratifying feature of her career is,the
large number of her pupils who have

We have received this week a very
interesting paper by Dr. W. H.
B. Aikins printed by the Canadian
Practitioner Review on the. radium
treatment of rodent ulcer, skin cancer,
etc., which, although too technical in*
its phraseology for the layman, nevertheless is sufficiently explicit lo enable one who is not' a disciple of
Esculapus to recognize that radium
therapy has passed the empirical
stage. Caution is suggested In the
radium treatment and that practitioners should not become blind to the
values of other tried and satisfactory
methods in certain cases. The gratifying results achieved In the last fow
years by the radium treatment for
cancer bespeak the possibility as the
modus operandi becomes better understood of a practical elimination of
this dread disease except, when too
far advanced. - *
The plot outside of the Methodist
church has, been'thoroughly cleaned
up by Robert' Clerke and other willing
workers. Oh no, they were not under

lawn tennis. The new minister Mr.
Dimmick is leaving no stone unturned'
(we saw him turn quite a number
ourselves lo make °a place of recreation both_insl"de "and-ouEsTde~7f~"tlie'
church. The basement of the church
is very roomy and will be equipped
with the necessary paraphernalia for
the indulgence in various indoor
athletics. It is to be operated somewhat after the style of a Y. M. C. A.
and every man whether young or old
will be cordially welcomed regardless
,of his religious belief as it is intended as a' resort so badly needed
in this town and Is free of any de-
nominntionpllsm so far as permission
to participate is concerned.

Dear Sir—In order to correct any
false impressions that may be held
by any of our 'membership relative
to the omission of the ritualistic ceremony of the United Mine Workers of
America I would ask for the necessary
space to. make explanation. Brother
Louis F. Melul, the young man who
was buried on the 26th was a follower
of the Catholic church and inasmuch
as the resident priest, Father Michels,
is a newcomer in our- midst and this
brother' was- the first of those who
are under his jurisdiction to be buried
I considered that as a mark of courtesy I should inform him, therefore
having failed to locate any of his
relatives after every effort to- do so
on. the evening of tho 25th ! called
upon the reverend gentleman who at
first strongly objected to the oui lai
taking place in tho afternoon, but
after lengthy explanation regarding
the reason therefor he reluctantly expressed his intention to comply,, but
asked thnt in futuro the, funerals
should be in the morning unless some
extraordinary circumstances intervened to prevent. , ' "
When the question of the reading
of our burial services was discussed
he positively refused to allow It because such would be contrary to the
rules of the church, and as It is our
desire to conform to the amenities
that govern such matters Is the reason
for the omission alluded to and this
letter Is written solely for the purpose of enlightening those who may
wonder why it was not readv Trusting* that this explanation may be satisfactory to all concerned and thanking you for its insertion, I am, dear
sir, yours very truly;

BUSINESS LOCALS
To the Editor of the District Ledger:
The Coleman Miner of July lst contained a paragraph relative to a case
entitled Crown vs. Grand Union. In
order that the public may be enlightened on the subject permit me
through your columns to state a few-
pertinent facts. Tire Crown was prevented from taking early action as
previous to the issuance of the summons the chief witness, a single man,
found it advisable to make a hurried
trip out of town, only a few hours
before the case could be heard becauso of a ..visit.! by A. Paterson to
-t he-plan t-of-the-Iv-G— &-Coke-company,
for the purpose*' of a conversation
which j-csulted in a speedy flight
leaving nothing behind except his
debts.
I am prepared to bring forward, six
witnesses at any time, in fact, they
were waiting to give evidence, but
were not callod upon to do so. When
the charge was made on the 20th of
April Mr. L. A. Manly made, a quick
trip to Edmonton thus delaying the
case two months, The Coleman Miner
states that, the Grand Union is one
of the best of,its class and always
run satisfactory to the public. Hero's
whero I would like to know what class
It is in, whether this alhidos to the
saloon part or the hotel, Is the mercantile store run in connection with
the Grand Union as the latter cover
the whisky sold willi tho paper bags
of that concern with tho stamp as can
be shown at any time.. Should Mr.
L, A. Mnnley hnvo the courage to
j meet nil his charges I have no doubt
| lie would not hold his position.
j Thanking you," Mr, Editor, for tho

the first, offense from.$50 to $250;
for the second offense from $200 to
$500; and for the third from $500 to,
$1,000. It was found that under the
old regulations the emulative naturo
of the fines seldom -came into play
beyond the' second offense, the licensing authorities usually refusing to renew the license of holders who had
been twico convicted of -infringements of tho regulation. For, this
reason tho equally heavy penalty for
all offenses whether first, second or
subsequent., has now been adopted.
