The reason for having this meeting on Wednesday instead of Thursday was becauso, of thc 'desire to.- have the discussion on Ihe auditor's report al the earliest opportunity and also, in consequence of the public meeting culled for tho regular.meeting night, Thursday, preventing tlie possibility of holding both, * ', " Letter -was .rend from L. -P.- Eckstein informing .the council Ihat in .view-'oi: the faqt that, a .public meeting, was. to 'be- held'on Thursday that he-proferrod'-'to -wait' until' then -be-' fore going into the several questions thnt-had already been touched upon, feeling, that a more (borough ventilation and'a wider'knowledge furnished (lie ratepayers by dis'cussslng civic matters at the public meeting than was practicable in the .council chamber. . .

This $000 is to ho taken from tlie nmount that is over from the $7,000 that, was,,voice! on for the additional school accommodation in tho Annex, olc. This is tho only way according to Municipal Clauses act that a sum called for one object can be divqrled to the use of anothor.

This will bo remedied forthwith. uo brief for any of my colleagues on this or last year's council. Where I think they have been improperly attacked I will defend them, and where I think they have been wrong, then I will condemn them. I.regret that 1* am unable to give you an itemize'd oash'statement of the city's affairs. You noted, no doubt, on hearing tho auditor's report, read, that* he was un- 'iltlo,' owing to the condition* of the hooks, lo furnish the City of Fernie with a cash statement. *The,re .'appears to bo a shortage in tlie city nccount of a ■little over $3;500. I have no doubt tliat* you all followed carefully, the reading' of the report, and I presume you formed, tin! opinion as io how (hat shortage comes about. The" shortage reported is due ju all instances to'having'received* a cheque, or other cash', assuming, we say for argument's ■ sake • pas's a cheque. The city clork apparently received a cheque, we take for example tlie cheque of A. G. Long-, $630. He placed .that appa'rently' through' the '•auk, because it is credited to' the City of Fernie account, but he failc'd to credit'that in ihe cash book. Th"e consequence was, if there is a shortage as (lie auditor alleges, he was unable to tako that cash., or lie" lost the cash-, and the city has never received credit for -that cash. Mr. Johnson is chairman of-the finance department this year'aiid cnji toll ymi of many instances iii- which he has refused'to sign cheques* presented him hy lhe city clerk. I want, lo say to you this, that Mr. McDcrmid came lo me when he was making his report for explanation of corinin things he claimed to, be ir- fogtihu-. I could hare explained those matters to him. ns I inlond explaining tliemt o you tonight. I-thought., however,"in tlio position which I hold, it would not.be honest for me to in any. way; curtail the report, whjcli, Mr. •McDerniitl was making. ' Hn must make-his full-report -as be found- it fi'om thc books ,and I would not-sag- gost ono wav nr tho nt Vim. eve m or epidemic. The question , then came before the council as to whether they would, expend the sinking . fund monies instead of putting' them into the sinking fund as they should liave done; or whether they would allow typhoid tp" spread and thus cost the city many thousands of dollars; or whether Ihey would use this monoy, returning it to tho sinking fund by the passing of a. by-law to the people in tlie spring, and ■ thus avert the epidemic. I notified the council that it was not altogether regular, how- " r, I advised, and .would/^ijl'vise tot-row if occasion arise.""'thai thc same course bo.adopted; I did it in good faith, and if thero should be anything happen of..like nature in which I "considered I could savo the City of Fernie thousands- of .dollars by checking a typhoid epidemic. 1 would use any money thai belongs to the- City of' Ferine." The next item that 1 see is under the head bf "'Taxes." At a meeting held* November 1th; 1009." (See under Auditor's deport). *. The"question'Came up'of extending the time for pa.-ment- of those taxes. As -Mr. lloulton was very well. up on the .Municipal Clauses act„,I offhand nlskcd him what "procedure we should follow, and he ' told, ino that tho proper course to follow was to pass a resolution-extending-lhe time for taxes. • I,never thought about them again.. The resolution, was put through and unanimously carried io extend the taxation to .'a certain dato. I should h.ayo'-.put a by-law through iho council. That' is .the explanation of that feature.,- .We'sliould have put' a' 'by-law through' the council, a'nd Ihal Is the* only difference. We 'should norhavo put a by-law. to tho people; we should have*; drawn up a by-law instead of the resolution,that we read, and 'in" that way, extended lhe time for tlie payment,- of taxes. '" The next item;'is voucher Xo. 915, $2,000; interest - on debentures' to whicli there werg__no 'vouchers af- says that lo this, have agreed with him as ! have never agreed 'willi I Mr. Eckstein or anyone else that tlie , city should be put to the expense of a quarterly audit. .1 nm of ibe opin-■ ho said that the any belter offer wanted a better bank would not givo at. all and if we one we should have io go jiomcwlKTo else.

To His Worship the Mayor and Aldermen, of the City of Fernie. Gentlemen,—Acting oh your instructions I have made a partial audit of your books for the -seven months ending July 31st la;*t. and beg to report as follows. System. Owing to the lack of system in connection with your bookkeeping, I found it impossible to make as thorough an audit as I could have wished. My audit with respect to cash rceipts and disbursements was very thorough but owing to the fact that'there were no ledger accounts representing your various rolls, -.md it has not been the custom to make tliem self-balancing, I found it would require sevenl weeks to make a satisfactory audit of them. 1 also found your system of accounting very lax in several respects. 1 have, therefore thought it advisable to submit for your consideration the following recommendations and would strongly advise that.. they be put into effect immediately, viz., ' '>•. • *' Your Treasurer should he required to keep a petty cash book showing each day's receipts and disbursements correctly entered as to dates, and the' cash should be balanced every day. It should be checked frequently by ,1 member oi your finance committee 01 by vour auditor if he is avaihble. liach of your rolls should be treated as subsidiary to your ledger and you should have in your ledger ah account, representing each roll. . This account will then show the debits and credits for each month together with the arrears carried forward from the previous month. The ledger entries should correspond with the .entries in your rolls, and, the cash credits m tne rolls, the cash book and the ledger should all agree.' No alterations in the monthly debits'in- the individual rolls should be made unless certified to by the superintendent of the department affected: No rebate other than the monthly . discounts should be allowed -withoutr-beirig--authorized-by-the council.. In this connection I wish to state that unless this plan is adopted and carefully carried out gross abuses are possible in connection with .the rolls. School Account Your system has been,to deposit in the bank to the credit of the school trustees such money as they required from time to time. . This system is contrary to the Act, which requires that the school trustees issue orders on the city treasurer for all accounts. These orders should be paid as and when presented; but there is no provision whatever in the Act for the payment of moneys or even for the handling of moneys by thc school trustees themselves. In this connection I wish to draw your attention to the fact that there is no record in your minute book as to thc estimates of the school trustees for the current year having been received or passed by yourselves, It has recently been the custom to,, draw from the bank the c.tv*t required for some payrolls and accounts and pay these in cash instead of by cheque, 1 would strongly recommend thai every payment, no matter how hin all. be made by cheque. "Tt. has also been customary to pay accounts without having such payment authorized by either llu- council or,the Finance committee. I would strongly recommend that all accounts be first pre.;.**..led to the Finance committee nnd then to the council with thc committee's report thereon, after which payment could be made. 1 find a great many payments have been made without the account being certified by the foreman or superintendent in charge of the depart incut in which the goods were supplied. As an illustration ; Several thousand dollars have been paid for coal supplied lho oliTtrie light department and there is absolutely nothing to show that thc coal was ever received bv the department. Many other accounts are handled in thc same wnjr. You will readily understand thnl this sv-it-?m is loose, to sav the least, and should not be tolerated for a moment. I beg to draw your attention to the fact that "it is contrary to the Municipal Clauses Act for an alderman to be' engaged as an ordinary salaried employee of the city, and, furthermore, for an alderman, either personally or as a member of a firm, (unless (an incorporated company), to either buy -or sell merchandise from or to the city. I lind that, a considerable quantity of posts and cordwood has been sold for which, at the time of lhe audit, there were no charges in your books. Proper entries have now* been put through and represent a considerable amount still unpaid. I also understand that your old fire hall was sold for $500, of which amount $400 is still put- standing. An entry has ■ been made in your books covering this amount Debenture interest to the a- mount of $800"has been paid by, you for which the coupons have not as yet been received. Of this $600 is on account of interest due in June and $200 due in July. * Under Voucher No. 1003 you refunded taxes to a property owner to the extent fo $78.70. This pavment was authorized by the council, sitting as a court of ' revision on March the nth last. This payment I consider irregular. Tools Account No record is kept of the tools owned by the city. I , would strongly recommend the opening of a "stores account" and would suggest that some one employee be made responsible for the care of the tools, etc. Under your present system you have absolutely no record of the tools owned by the city. Sinking F!und Account On checking up your Sinking Fund account I find that the amount deposited in the bank is $3,508.85 short of the actual .requirements, exclusive of payments for this year. An account from the Fernie Rink Company for $336.80." on which a payment of a $100, has been made, has not been passed for paymentby the council. This shouia~15e~3oher" : ■ I would strongly recommend that all receipts be numbered and that you have printed in red ink on every receipt the word?. " Official receipt. Accept no other.'' "Cash Account I exceedingly regret having to report a shortage in the cash of $55I-89- Your Treasurer seems to be under the, impression that some payments have heen made that are not yet enti-ed in the cash book. In view of this and also" in view of thc fact that I have some further investigations ,to make, which mav increase the shortage, I would prefer that this portion of my report be not treated as a final repo-t. Respectfully submitted. E. B. McDermid, Chartered Accountant, Auditor Neson, Vi. C, Sepr. t, 1910 To His Worship the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Fernie Gentlemen,-—Acting on your instructions I have audited your books for thc year 1909 and beg leave to report ast follows: General Conditions Your general system of accounting is very lax in many particulars, No effort has been made to have vouchers or invoices certified by heads of departments nor even by your Finance committee. Apparently this committee seldom, if ever, meet as such and consequently there is no record or minute as to their action' with respect to thc payment of your numerous accounts. Proper minute books should be kept fair all committees and no account should be paid until first passed by your finance committee, reported on by them to the council and payment authorized by thc latter. Ymir Finance committee have no authority to authorize the payment of accounts. Their duly is to recommend the payment to your honorable body, by whom such payment may be authorized. The authority for every payment will then appear iu die minutes of the council meeting. Owing to the presence of 0a loose system of accounting my audit of your accounts is more or less incomplete with respect more especially to overpayment to contractors or merchants. On giving a contract for any wprks the contractor should,.be' immediately given credit for the amount of the contract and as estimates for him are passed from time' tq time he should be debited with the payments. Heretofore such payments have been charged to the work contracted for. This makes it very difficult for an auditor, or even your own. staff, to keep.a1 proper record of any' particular contract. I find that numerous merchants' accounts have been allowed to run for months before being paid. This system frequently results in accounts being paid a second! time. If proper records were! kept these accounts would be paid from month to month and the possibility of. overpayment eliminated. Extensions and additions of all accounts should be checked before payment. The importance of this is exemplified further bn in this report. These general remarks apply to my audit for nineteen hundred and ten as well as nineteen hundred and nine. <* Taxes At a meeting on November 4, 1909 you extended the time for granting rebate on 1909 taxes to December 1, 1909. The^-Municipal Clauses Act provides that a rebate cannot be given after Nov. ist, except by passing a bylaw. Vouchers I found it necessary to pass thc following vouchers without detailed accounts attached: Voucher No. 875, J. R. McEwing. . Voucher No. 75 x, Kootenay Nursery Co. j . Voucher No. 848, Cushing Bros. Vouchers Nos. 293-462, N. E. Suddaby, incomplete. Voucher No. 404, C. P. Higgins. * Vouchers Nos. 481-441, Bonnell & Corsan. * Voucher No. 397, Crow's Nest Trading Co. Voucher No..836, Fernie Lumber Co. Voucher No. 525, J.R. Wallace. Voucher No. 945, $2,000. Interest on debentures. No coupons were attached to this voucher an^j[our_treasurer was unable to 16cate~them. "These coupons 'are negotiable and if not cancelled you might be called upon to pay them a second time: Voucher No. 2 (C.B. Folio 22) represents $500 which is charged to Campbell & Gray in May, 1909. tf this entry is correct they were overpaid $500. In July, i909,you paid a draft of the Canadian Rubber Co. for $500, which does not appear to be charged in your cash book. My impression is that the cheque charged to Campbell & Gray was cancelled and as the entry is still in thc books it offsets the payment to the rubber company. The cheque 'in question could not be located. Voucher No. 929, Dec. 23, 1909, Broley & Martin, Through a clerical error, these people1 Avere overpaid $143.22 under this voucher. A refund of this amount should be secured from them. This voucher illustrates the nec- essitv of the careful checking of all invoices and vouchers before payment. It is not customary for1 an auditor to do this checking and this voucher is one- of a very few checked by mc, Debenture Account,, Your minute book does not show price at which the several debentures issues were sold, but few instances invoices are lacking for payments to merchants. Aside from clerical, errors they appear to be otherwise in order with the following exceptions : . Silence!

School Board Account I had no definite instructions from you to audit thc School Hoard's accounts but after consulting with the mayor he instructed me to audit them, Moreover, owing to the manner in whicli thc school accounts have i/cui ii-.iiul(_<._ .1 *.v.._. nully nccc" isnry tn nudit them in order to verify certain entries in your books. In this connection I wish to emphasize thc remarks in connection with the school boartl accounts in my ronnrt of Pep^ ist last. I am informed by tjie Secretary of the School Board that no minute book has_ been kept, consequently it was impossible to verify thc correctness or otherwise of the salaries paid, Teachers, janitors, secretary and other employees, although they appear to be in order, f am informed the secretary's salary was $100 per annum up to December 31st, 1009, and $i$o per annum since then. This being.correct he apparently has been paid to date $134.50 on 1910 account. Thc majority of the school vouchers are very incomplete. Except In a Voucher. No. 244 for ?74.56, payable to* Bank of Commerce for accounts attached. These were not attached and the cheque had been deposited to the credit of the city. Voucher No. 130 for $302.85, payable to G. H; --Boulton for Pay Roll account. No Pay Roll or receipts attached. '. Voucher No. 82 for '$83.10, payable to G. H. Boulton for Pay Roll account No Pay Roll • or receipts attached. . While these vouchers are very ir regular yet I think you are justified m accepting them as correct. At present the School Trustees have a large overdraft at the bank, for which they have no legal, authority. Por their personal, protection this should be covered at once. Insurance. I find the following amounts are credited as having been received by you for fire insurance on property destroyed in 1908, viz..* Schools account • $6,695.81 Fire Hall 1,498.10 Fire Hall Equlpraent 400.00 Jail Building 998.75 I have not verified these figures. Outstanding Accounts, . , I. have not taken any means to verify the correctness or otherwise of the outstanding accounts as shown op. your various rolls. This work would require considerable time and should * be done. The rolls should also be balanced, with a ledger account representing each roll. Balance Sheet. T have not considered it necessary to prepare a Balance Sheet; in fact, such cannot be done until all outstanding accounts and unfinished con- trr.cts are brought into your ledger. I consider this ■ should be , done at once so that you may ascertain just where you stand financially. The present loose system of conducting your affairs may prove disastrous later on unless remedied at once. . Title Papere. I have not examined your various deeds'and other title papers; neither have I examined your insurance policies. ■ Receipt Forme. The present "stub" system of re- oeipts should be dispensed with and the "duplicate" system used entirely so that you may have an exact copy of all receipts issued. Receipts should be numbered consecutively froin year to year and repeating numbers should not be used. That is, the numbers on each order given the printer should begin where the former order left off. .„ . Dog Tax Account. The_.reYenue___on_-_.this_.a.c_co_unt_f__r, 1909 was $109.00. Two hundred tags were, purchased and apparently only 92 are on hand. At the same time the receipt stubs correspond with the cash book, if all receipt books were presented to me. I would recommend that in future every tag be accounted for. - You shoura-* have special receipts for this purpose and each receipt should show the number of the tag.' - I. . Cash Account. The following affect the cash account: Cash Book Folio 104, $50.33, should be $52,33; difference, $2.00. Cash Boole Folio 74,* $100.00, should be $109.00; difference $3.00. .

TIMES BURNED OUT Death and Destruction Visited on Innocent Loss of Life Is Not Known—Was a „ Noted Non-Union Office.—Who Is to Blame. LOS ANGJ3LES, Oct. 1.—The building occupied by the Times Publishing company was destroyed by fire ,and "tliere is a heavy death list, estimated as high as fifty. The fire was preceded liy an explosion and Immediately the building was enveloped in flames. The explosion occurred on the second floor of an addition to the old building. The old part is of three floors. Within a few seconds from the time of the explosion the entire building was a fiery furnace". Crowds that gathered early say they saw many men fall back from the windows into the flames. Others leaped and were, injured. The editorial rooms were on the third floor, but lt is believed the greater part of tho men on this floor escaped death. -Thomas P. Smith, an "Ad" compositor, working on the second floor when the explosion occurred, gives the following version. "There were at least 50 men at work on, my floor. I believe that' half of this number may not have escaped. I, with others, rushed to the street immediately, and then saw the whole building In . flames." Situation in Hand. The entire building was In ruins at 1:45 and but two walls' were standing. The fire department now has the situation well in hand and the j -j•*•■;•.v._■■- >"f^-^^^'^^mmt^i^ew tlames will probably not spread further. In addition to the complete plant of the Times, the building contained the large jobbing and commercial plant of the American Engraving .company. The property loss is estimated at $500,000. The death list is now placed at between-15 and SO. No bodies have yet been removed, however. Managing Editor Andrews said he believed that not more than 15 persons lost their- lives. None of the reportorial staff as far as could be learned was in the local room at the time of the explosion. One' man, whose name is unknown, leaped from a second story window and alighted on his head, breaking his neck. It is practically certain that all of the dead were members of the mechanical force employed on the second floor and in the press room in the basement." Two men were arrested about two blocks north of the Times building and are being held for identification. ■ * The building occupied' by the Times mirror Publishing company is of brick, three stories in height and back of this was a brick annex1 of two stories and a basement. Tho editorial department of the Times was on the third floor of the main building and the business office on the ground floor. The annex contained the presses, linotypes and job plant, and the Times/ school for training linotype operators. The Times employed non-union-printers and maintained a large battery of linotypes for teaching operators the use of these machines.

NANAIMO, Sept. 30—The annual meeting of the medical relief com- n/ttee of the underground employees of the Western ' Fuel company was hold last evening. The report of the secretary showed total receipts during the year of $6,755.27 and disbursements of $5,321.60, leaving a balance on hand on June 30 of $1,433.67. In referring 'to accidents, tbe committee reports as follows: "The total number of accidents during the year was 95. divided as follows: No. 1 shaft 69; Northfield mine, 26. We regret the number of accidents is greater than last year; whilst two of .them were fatal, viz., Albert' Portray and James Doherty, a large majority of the balance were of a' trivial nature." Oskaloosa, la., Sept. 19, 1910. To the Members of the United Mine Workers of America—Greeting: • Having been importuned by my many friends in the United Mine Workers to permit the use of. my name as a candidate for the 'office of international president, I take this opportunity, of making known my wishes in this respect. If I felt that the many urgent requests made upon me to become a candidate for this high and exalted position did not properly reflect a strong sentiment among the members in the various districts, I would regard theni but lightly. In past years my name has been prominently mentioned in connection with this office, and I have given it in times gone by no serious consideration. Recently, however, the requests' have been so numerous, that the sentiment so pronounced that I have yielded to the earnest' solicitations of my many friends in the organization, and have decided to become a candidate at the coming election for the office of International President. In doing so I have only one object in view, and that is the desire to be helpful to our great cause. My friends seem to be legion and are of the opinion that I can best serve the United Mine Workers by aspiring for this'high honor. I realize that there is a great amount of dissension and many discouraging features in connection with our organization at this time, and I know full well that it will require heroic effort to solidify our forces and accomplish the great purposes for which the United Mine Workers' organization was instituted, and in this work my numerous friends feel that I can .contribute In a large measure to the accomplishment of these high aims. The, emoluments of the office have little charms for me. ,It will be my purpose to refrain from abuse and slander in this contest, and if in the judgment of the membership of the United Mine Workers I should be honored with the office of' International President, I shall, with the cooperation of those who might be chosen with me, do everything in my power tb promote their interests hy inaugurating such policies as will in spire the confidence of the membership. JOHN P. WHITE. Coshocton, O., Sept. 19, 1910. Editor, Mine Workers' Journal, Dear Sir and Brother: ,Will you please- announce in the next issue of, our official paper, the "United Mine Workers' Journal" that I am a candidate for International Secretary-Treasurer. I feel it my'duty to make this announcement as an .answer to "inquiring friends, and in response to numerous requests that I be a candidate for the aforesaid position. Thanking you in advance, I am Fraternally yours, WM. GREEN." I \«_ "^ Indianapolis, Ind., September 2t. To the Members of the United Mine Workers of America—Greeting: , I hereby announce myself as a candidate for re-election to the office of International Secretary-Treasurer, subject to the will of the rank and file. If I "am honored'with a continuation of the confidence reposed in me in the past, I shall feel that my services have been reasonably acceptable ' to the membership of our organization, My ambition has in the past, and will be in the future, to practice strict economy, consistent with the needs of a great modern and business institution. I have -neither friends to reward nor foes to punish if elected. Some of my friends, solicitous of my - personal welfare, have indicated that I ought to subordinate my own personal aspirations, and the only-reason advanced is that two candidates from the same district ought not to aspire for International offices—whether or not such preconceived ideas are entitled to any weight, I leave to the judgment of the. membership. . In the past I have criticized what I believed was not for our best interests and I shall reserve the right to do so again, if necessary. True, I have erred in judgment on many occasions and possibly will do so again in the future. - - I cannot promise; if successful, that I shall bring about a solidification of our forces, but I will do my part to accomplish this much-desired end. 9 8 I 9 0 8 MnUBk i Read Why the Record of Neponset Roofings and Waterproof Building Papers is of Direct Interest to You During the last twenty years the great Railway systems of tl.'.s continent have bo'titjht over 75 million square feet of Neponset Roofings in addition to other Pird Neponset Products.

Ha! Ha! Here's the crux of the whole situation and the parting of the ways, The "noble" art of how to shoot down by individual members of the same cla-ss'as those who were instrumcirlal in its. construction is to be studied should they become unruly and rebel against their masters. That is harsh language, is the rejoinder of our friend and particularly so in view of the fact that the workingmen have reaped nearly all the benefits so far! is it not fitting that they ought to be perfectly willing .to aid in the furtherance of the real object of this institution after being the recipients of work and wages? Regardless ,p£ being considered an ingrate we must say in tones of the loudest emphasis, No! a thousand times No! These different members of the working class have performed their, labors and received remuneration therefor hence there is no further obligation to either party to the undertaking. They also are necessary factors in the construction of jails and lunatic asylums, but they arc not* interested in being inmates, furthermore-* they quite freqivmt- lv build palatial residences and much as 11-oyj might desire to occupy them the probabi!:li;'.': r.:TJ tliat a small house with a large proportionate Oui- stock of buying tools is complete/ Forks', Hand Rakes, Scythes and Snaths, Grind Stones' Whet Stones.!

"We have been informed that it will provide work, this i.s an' indisputable fact that it'is useless to deny, consequently as recent events show that the citizens do not* feel themselves financially able to supply the funds necessary for the purpose of teaching "the young ideas how to shoot" (mentally), then by all means we must take "a right foot, left foot" step in* [he "right" direction of how to shoot automatically, so to speak, ■ and by so doing save the life of some, valuable citizen, whose nerves are somewhat affected when taking a pleasant stroll by the promiscuous bullets that have a most undesirable trick of hissing too "dose for comfort* and making him incur ■ the unsought risk of having his anatomy become a target for'these thoughtless marksmen.' Now let us examine-, the merits of those who advocate .the building of the Armory and its mani: fold advantages as a work producer. Firstly there will be the work of the architect t*> -*■ | _ ^ in drawing tlie-plans, and specifications'these concluded excavation of the ground'necessary to make ' ready for the edifice will entail the employment of a "number of horses ancl. scrapers with their accom- * panying guardians, which of course, spells worlc and wages for the drivers and hay and oats for the horses.

The office of the'man Svitli the plumb lino and trowel must then be exorcised and he and those connected with tbis department of labor will be provided with work and wages too, therefore let us chant paens of praise to tho powers that be nl ' Ottawa, so ably seconded by our public spirited citizens, in the laudable mission they have undertaken with .such whole-souled heartiness. The services of thdic "■wielding hammer and saw ' the apron-clad brigade, will be enabled to prac- ' lice some of lho arts connoi-l.od with the craft of >' carpentry and by so doing 'gather in the shekels '• to swell their deposits in. the Butcher, Baker and " Clothier Bank.

In'reply to ihis we in turn may suggest that this a merely superficial view of* the case and we would ask any open-minded individual if ho can point to aa instance where these guardians of the law and order have ever been called'upon for service when it has been conclusively proven that the employers were the transgressors. Read the history of labor disputes everywhere and while the* men may at times be. guilty, of wrong-doing they have by no means a" monopoly and yet it is a proven fact'that the records of this and every other country amply demonstrate that .this arm of the military service is always used in support of property interests as against, lmnian demands. ' ■ , ' ,;- The most recent instance is that of Springhiil, N. S., and as an evidence of thc law-abiding character of the workers it was found that the' infractions were far more numerous by the company's cohorts and that although it was deemed- advisable to call in the soldiery, thereby saddling the costs 'of their presence upon the whole taxpayers, yet their services were -a sinecure. . .' , .

In short ..never try to write an article until you know :at least some of the circumstances. Had you been privileged like me to see the inside of the Christian man's shack you would have known the reason why I quit.

It wns raining, and although the three are Englishmen they do know enough to get in out of the rain, and so noting a box car attached,to the locomotive . and naturally assuming that it would shortly be pulled up to' the home town, they climbed in and were given the benefit of considerable shunting up and down the yard' and finally were taken' up to the high line where they, noticed tbe uncoupling of their side-door Pullman but thought nothing of this until' they saw .the smoke of the engine as'she rushed by."light" on her, journey up the grade. Much disappointed' they emerged from their shelter"and now they'garble* that plaintive and heartrending ballad: '■ ■ ' "They, all got in. the .car to.shelter *., from the rain, But the engine went and left, them ■, far behind;. ■ 7- ■.•■,.■. ..

' ; On Tuesday the miners and their friends were the attendants at a meeting. Mr. W:' Graham was -"voted to the chair. Owing to statements having been made at the Monday night meeting that the board of trade had in the past run the council Mr. Ouimelte, the chairman, ■ was called upon to -give his version of the case, this he did, stating that he felt that ihe Board of Trade had only done what was perfectly within their rights, i. e., given advice to the'village council when, they had . been callod upon so to do, and to this he did not see how anyone could object ns the Board of Trade consisted of citizens who were ratepayers and therefore naturally interested in the welfare of the community and that as every taxpayer was eligible to join the Board of Trade, could not seo why there should bo any objection lo.tho two institutions working in harmony together, but that either body hnd tried to dictate to ' the other what course to pursue was inaccurate. The chairman of the meeting, Mr, W. Graham, then made a few remarks touching upon the importance of a city having a thoroughly reliable and capable body.of men to manage its affairs unde rthe new plans. * Alex Cameron gave a short review of Coleman's doings in the past stages of its< development, calling attention to the improvements that had been achieved in various departments ;the fire brigade was a well .equipped fire, fighting contingent that would compare favorably with,any of its* kind in the country; sidewalks and other needed matters had been attended to and he also called the attention of his hearers to the agreement that was made, by the C. P. R. regarding the removal of , the old-time cause for grumbling, the , rock bluff between Coleman and the suburb to the west, greatly incommoding the residents and business interests of all concerned, Other items of public importance, the water system, etc., were dealt ■ with., David Hyslop, candidate for the mayorality in opposition to the previous speaker, upon rising to his feet, told the audience that the remarks made by his opponent regarding improvements in'the main voiced his sentiments. He made reference to the existence, in the late council of a' clique whose efforts to have a council suited to their tastes elected by acclamation had been frustrated .and-J.hatJie—was-pleased-to-be-one-of- a very healthy opposition to* such a scheme* (somebody here.made a remark that was ontirely uncalled for), He added that, he could not see wherein1 Mr. Cameron possessed any belter qualifications for the office than he, inasmuch as in both their cases (Mr.-Cameron is a watchmaker) thoy would have to call to their aid, whichever was tho people's choice, of those duly qualified to perform the different classes of work required' by a city. T. 13. Brandon, candidate fon councillor, in the course of his observations called attention lo.tho urgent need of improvements in both the park and the cemetery, and also mnny of the walks nround the town could bo put- in such a condition as would bo creditable to tho comniunlt;-/. , Thp , noxt speaker, Robort Holmes, was greeted with loud applnuso.when ho commenced to spenk.

M. R. Act, 190S (S Hours Act), than in the first six months of the year before the act came into operation, while at least there will be two to be added to the second half of the year, through death after the list has been closed. Six of the fatal accidents included In the statistics for this year occurred in 1S08; the poor, fellows having lingered on after last year's list was closed, the deaths having been included in this year's figures. This is an exceptionally large number to carry forward, and if we allow three as the probable average number to be carried over from this year to next it would leave the numbers for the year 76 fatal accidents and 79 deaths which, of course, - would work out more favorably for this year, although It would 'render last year worse. Hence* it ■■..•ill be clear that in making comparisons it is necessary to do so in decades in * order to arrive at' a fair resuijt. Accidents from Explosions of Fire- Damp and Coal Dust. Ne_personTnas~receive_~tne~sngni? est injury during the year from .an explosion of fire-damp or coal dust in the district. This is an exceedingly , gratifying result and creates a record. Notwithstanding this experience the liability to explosions in tho future continues, through the use of naked light in three or four collieries in* which' fire-damp is from time to time met with, in small quantities no doubt but sufficient, if ignited, to cause serious if not fatal injuries. The quantity of fire-dnmp given off is only sufficient to charge the return air current with a low percentage such as does not in itself indicate any likelihood of a great explosion at theso collieries. Mr. Martin thinks that as mntterB stand nt present, the men also not favoring them, the question of the introduction of safety lamps genernlly throughout these workings must remain with tlio own- orB and mnnngers, together with the workmen who, knowing exactly tlio conditions, accept the responsibility. Mr. Martin has little doubt thnt If it wore not for tho demand of Increased wngos for working with lamps tho owners could easily bo got to ndopt. them, and accept the cost of finding tho lamps, keeping them in repair, cleaning nnd oiling them, which thoy hnve to do undor tho act, In ordor to provide the extra safety for their men nnd to meet public opinion but when, In addition to thin oxpenso, 7Vi por cont Increuse in wanes Ir domnndod, bringing thn cost up to 10 per cont,, it no doubt becomes a matter for consideration, OHpoclnlly nt collieries obtaining prices for their coal which do not leavo a margin of profit to play with, at tho end of tho yonr, euch an Ih the caRO nt somo. These nre, howovor, subsidiary questions if It could bo Hhown that thoro Ih not mnroly a risk hut actually sufflclont danger to render their use Imperative Tho personal opinion of Mr. Mnrtln is that, In hoiiiu of tho nonius nt least, It would ho a doslrnblo precaution to adopt, although othors may con sider it an unnecessary one. An increased number of accidents and deaths occurred at the working face. They are very excessive, but, notwithstanding that close supervision on the part of the officials and strict enforcement of punishment where proper precaution is found to have been omitted tends to their reduction, these accidents rest very largely, with the men themselves. Some; of the accidents would have heen avoided by the use of "ringers and chains" or Sylvester's prop drawer which is a very suitable and convenient arrangement. Some such appliance is required by the special rules' to be provided, but they are hardly as liberally distributed as they might be, so_that although in a district there may be one or two, the temptation is very great to knock out a post with a hammer instead of hunting for the Sylvester or -other such appliance. Managers" will do' well to see to this matter. The number of fatal accidents recorded for the year is 79 with 82 deaths, which, although two less accidents and 11 less deaths than in the "preceding"T,e"aTrT"remaiiis—hlghr**—Mrr Martin points out that six of these accidents with six deaths are carried into this year's list from accidents which occurred in the previous year, so that correctly speaking the year so, far should only be ■ credited, with 73 accidents and 76 deaths, but as some ofthe accidents bf this year are likely to terminate fatally, probably 76 accidents and 79 deaths might be considered the number to be charged against the year, numbers which are still, far too high. Here again, he thinks, if the cases are gono into separately1'and carefully, It will be found that he has included several— probably five at, any rate—cases which aro more or less doubtful ub to whether they should be dealt with as cases undor the mines act, and which but for the Compensation act would not have been heard of. H-e has declined to include sovoral in which lt was attempted to be shown thnt death was tho result of accidents met with In mines, and which the coroner's juries havo returned as such. In ono caso the coroner charged the jury strongly that from the evidence beforo them, Including two doctors, It seemed clenr that they could not possibly form an opinion, and thnt It was not necessary for thom to do so, Inasmuch ns tlio medical evidence was diametrically opposed on technical ground*., whicli ho himself was not capable of deciding upon, but, to his grent surprise, after considering tho mattor In private, thoy returnod a vordlct that "Death was duo to tho alleged accident In tho course of his omploymont," and. notwithstanding the coroner'B strong protest, t|ioy stuck to it. Anothor Instance, in wliich lt wan triod to bo shown that death was connected with an nccldont, was a caso In which n death from nonu monla wns nllognd to havo been con nectod with tho breaking ot the man's leg six years bofor**-.

This, however, was not accepted ,by the.- coroner's jury. Mr. ■ Martin', mentions these cases merely to show that since' the Compensation Act the number of deaths recorded cannot be compared with former figures, as they are not upon the same1 basis, and also to show how necessary it is .for an inspector to watcli each case and use careful judgment in deciding whether they are proper eases- to place,, against mining;-which* hns dangers enough to contend with without having more than belongs to it appended. The inspector would suggest that any person criticizing tho results should examine each accident record: ed, and judge- each for himself; he will, Mr. Martin thinks, find that they may be classified under various heading-;. 'Pure accidents, where no blame is attributable'to the deceased or those above him; accidents through errors of judgment on the man's own part, and which might have been avoided,* but'in which no blame could be attributed to any of the parties concerned; accidents through errors of others; "accidents through incurring temporary risk, such as delaying timber setting; accidents' due to pure neglect and recklessness in regard to securing places; accidents due to recklessness in other ways; and accidents due to neglect or carelessness on the part of others, including officials. Mr. Martin does not consider that many of the latter occur, although they - may * frequently be blameable for not reporting cases of neglect or contravention of rules, with a view to punishment and the maintenance of proper discipline and safety "for themselves and others. Treatment of Horses. Mr. Martin had the question of the treatment of underground horses brought before the Colliery Officials' association of Monmouthshire for discussion in consequence of hysterical allegations made in reference to the subject, and in case this "district should in any way have ,been referred to or included, as it appeared to be in some_JournaIs. The officials repudiated" the allegations and .main- .. ,ii __/.___+_.._+■ ._._._!._._._.■ , —Z 11 ,.-,_ -__ -Lniiic.i-i.iiai,—mc- fiui _,t_&~a_ t2— \Y _.ii-"jar.__r for and in good "condition, and the inspector chn confirm this generally in the district. He ° thinks on the whole they" will compare favorably with those on the surface. He, of course, does not mean tb say that, all are -equally well cared for, either by owners .officials, or workmen, to say so would be' merely to give his case away. He knows that there is and has been for many years past a strong desire on the part pf the branches of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that their officials should be allowed to examine the horses underground on behalf of their society, and that, as a rule, this has been refused this results entirely from officious offlclnls of the society .having been allowed to do so iri tho past and finding some case which was not altogether satisfactory, forthwith reporting in hysterical terms and taking proceedings against the manager or owner. If prevention and not officious punishment had been desired' it could have been much moro effectively attained by discreetness, and by judiciously calling attention to tho matter, in which cone further examinations would not only have boen allowed, but also on- couraged, ns owners In their own Interests, Irrespective of nny question of humanity, aro desirous for tho welfare of their horses, Mr. Martin mny sny that he hns taken, and doeB tako. n keon Intorost in tho horsos and ponies underground In his district.

A fpw-of the greatest orators in Europe sit in this assembly. A few of the most skilled debaters sit in this assembly. And there are other quiet, powerful men who'lead the greatest movements of modern times, and yet who would falter like ;i child were they forced to speak. Here are .men of every nation, of every creed, of every race—men tliat in the age just passed might, have sought glory in trying to murder,each other in bloody warfare. The swarthy Italian, the blonde Swede, the dark, wiry, little Frenchman,- the big, lumbering Russian; the quick,. cat-like Chinaman, the slow phlegmatic German, the stolid, practical Englishman, the passionate, idealistic Pole—and' all are. here bound together in the common cause. There are men', here whose name's are known in all the universities of Europe and men here who have never been .within the walls of a school. There are here men whose names are famous because,of their work in literature, art and science, and there are here rough men, like "our own Lincoln, who have fought., their way up from direst poverty. There are here hundreds who lead the unions; hundreds who represent the workers in parliament; hundreds who sit iri municipal councils, fighting day after day the battle of the workers. And these men here,* whether well or little«known, are the representatives of 50,000,000 souls. , This congress means something. Its " delegates *, represent something.

Je suis persuade que* tous les amis qui, depuis 15 a 20 ans, bnt sulvi ces assises, auront comme moi ressentl cette fermente et ce besoln de met- tre en oeuvre, pour un but clatrement determine, la force d'organlsation de l'lnternationale des mineurs.'

La chose est tres difficile a provolr, Mnls.ce qui est certain, ce qui ost tlds malntonant envisage comme possible on cas do bosoln ot par tous los pays y coinpris l'Angleterro, l'Allo- mugno, la France, In Belgique ot l'Autrlche, c'est l'organlsatlon do la grdvo gdndrnlo Intornntionalo, En cos do guorro par oxomplo, ot depuis doux nns d6Jn, lo comite lntor- national ost charge de* so rdunlr d'urgonco ot, s'il ost ndcossairo, do convoquor nu plus tot, un "congres extraordinaire pour avlsor Immediate- niont n l'omplol dos moyons los plus pratiques pour rddulro a I'lmpulflsanco los dostructours do l'humanlte, II _io faut pas so falre d'llluslon: l'organlsatlon d'uno gr<Svo generale In- tornatlonalo dos mlnourn 'n'ost pas cIioho tres fncllo; mals lo fait quo cotto evontuallte ost onvlsngeo commo uno choso parfftltemont realisable par los nillltnntn Ion moins ombnlldR, los plus rofldohls ot los pIub on vuo dans leurs pays respectifs est a coup sur d'une importance considerable;' 11 en est d'ailleurs si bien ainsi( qu'au congres international de Copenhague, Keir-Hardle en a fait etat dans son dlscours , en faveur de la palx mon- dlale. . L'organlsatlon par le comite. international d'une enquete sur l'ensemble do l'organlsatlon syndicale chez Ies mineurs de tous les pays, est encore un des moyens pratiques pour preparer ies chances de succes en cas d'un engagement International des mineurs, soit contre le patronat cosmopolite, ou contro lour gouvernement. II faut done que tous Ies militants dos syndicats, tous les mineurs beiges ponsent a ces questions dans l'avenir, qu'ils ne Pont fait Jusqu'icl; au fur et a mesure que nous avancons, les responsabilites grandlssent et il faut so mettro a la hauteur d'y falre face.

At the coroner's inquest held on the body of Frank Juliani, the Italian who was so brutally murdered last week near Revelstoke, but littlo information was elicited from the several witnesses examined that would lead to the detection of the guilty parties. Of the two daughters of the deceased, Mrs. F. Shurima alone expressed the opinion' that she would recognize-the three Calabrians If she saw them again.' On receiving details of the murder the provincial police department' sent detectives to the scene of the tragedy,, but with so little of aatangible character to work upon the tracking of these murderers presents great difficulties. The theory advanced that It was the work of the Black Hand Is practically confirmed by a peculiar black mark across the dead man's face which Dr. McPherson, when giving his testimony, stated that the skin beneath was firm but pitted ln places. The sight of one of the eyes was destroyed presumably by - the acid used in putting the dread mark of this iniquitous organization. A NATIONAL NEWSPAPER.

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask., Oct. 4.— As a result of complaint laid by Lewis Bird, the police committee are making an investigation -regarding Chief of Police B. ,T. McDermott, who came here from Renfrew, Ont., about a year ago. Crown Prosecutor Halliday, who acted for Bird, called as first witness, Helen Seymour. This . witness alleged that the chief had accosted her on the streets and liad induced her to come to his office where he had tried to make her drink beer he had there, and smoke cigarettes, claiming his lady friends often did that. On the night in question, the chief came to the house of the complain-* ant Bird, whose friend she was ■ and locked the door when he subjected lier tp indignities of a serious nature. She screamed and*then Bird broke in the door. Bird'**"-, story was, that he let the girl have the run of his cottage to play his piano, that he came back suddenly in the evening and finding tlie door locked, broke it. in. Chief McDormolt categorically denied all tho serious part of the allegations, lie claimed that.'lhe girl was a married' woman, _witli husband living, in Fernio, by name of Bingham. He had communications from'thsro to' look after .her and try to get her to return to lier husband. He had never tried lo make ber smoko and drink though he had once liad- some beer, in his office. ' On the night complained of, iie was'sitting by, the piano listening to ' the . girl ■ playing, when the door was broken in. He had not locked it, though he had pulled down'the'blind at the request, of the girl. He had gone' to tlie house on that' occasion to show hor the letters he; had 'received from Fernie in connection, willi her husband. He had never shown lier any familiarity at all, only once taking her hand lo look at a diamond ring she was wearing one once when seeing her. home, at 'her request, ho had hei nod*, her across a had placo in the road. Chief McDermott is still under cross-examination.-—Morning Albertan. The GROWS NEST TRADING C04 Llmited .. * * ■ °. . . ' ■* The Store of Good Values _ n A TRIP FOR THE DUCKS. ■lohn P.

Date Issued | 1910-10-08 |
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. |
