The Vancouver News *■ Advertiser, thus - describes the Royal Welsh Ladies! choir concert;-' in the Vancouver opera house,on Monday evening last. Great! One word, which is the es-, sence of simplicity in its definition of ' expression, sums up the festival of song provided by the Royal Welsh Ladles' choir at the concert held ln the opera house last night. Prom the rising of the curtain until the crimson folds lowered proclaiming the end the audience was held spell bound in rapturous admiration. As a choir the ladles emphasized their talent in no uncertain way for both individually and collectively they gave a precision of harmonization which was truly marvellous. The audience was thrilled by the manner in which the numbers were rendered and possibly never before in Vancouver, had the strings of emotionalism been touched to such an extent.' The audience was expecta-nt; .they devoured each "note as the music*.proceeded with its harmonious swell and as each soloist , finished or a choral selection concluded, there arose an applause insistent in its demand for an appetite which, perhaps, was beyond appeasing. Like Oliver Twist they had the temerity to ask for more, several encores being rendered in response. = i_ \-f rf A.'.fves- ON*1 ■_„— / On November the 16th the Welsh Ladies' Choir wilT^ppeaT^irT'Fernie and from .the,-favorable reports. :r»-, ceived there is not a shadow of doubt that their efforts will he greatly, appreciated and the^acknotrledgemont gladly conceded tnat*' as a. -body; of 1 choral singers that they..'make a total eclipse of any * that have yet, been heard in this city.

ARE PRESENTED City Legislators Sit in Special Session on Tuesday Evening-New City Clerk is Appointed NO MORE PUBLIC MEETINGS "ALONG THE KENNEBEC," AT THE GRAND THEATER The old-time down east melodrama, "Along the Kennebec," was played at the Grand theater on,Wednesday evening to a crowded house. .The story is a very passable one, and depicts a phase of life in which the peculiar personality of the wood-whittling way- down Yank is delineated in a way. that is guaranteed to bring a smile to the face ° of the sphinx. Miss Minnie Christie, as Tr'yphenia Trotr, was excellent, and her ■*_ portrayal cf the"character is entitled to'commendation. .The loye.of tho two "Rubes," Zeke Dasher and Blmellck Tubbs, for •this antiquated piece of rustic femininity, and their persistent efforts lo win her-hand ' and ' incidentally the 080YOOS COAL SEAM FIFTEEN FEET THICK William Gosnell Returns From Inspection of Remarkable Property- Company Is Developing. legacy'which she is supposed to have inherited,' leads': to .many amusing features, a. most laughable situation being the exaggerated duel, .which was well • sustained and certainly tickled the risibles of the-audience. ' • Zeke's part of,, the Way-Down Yankee was'well-played from first io last," arid' his song, "I Never .'.Had Such ;a Time in My Life," was well received and met with a well merited encore. The characterization of tho postmaster * was exceptionally good; the enunciation was clear and distinct," and the' part rendered with that dignity whicli one would naturally expect from such an individual In real life. Miss Ermn Weste, as Dolly, made a charming heroine, nnd played her part with a simple grace which wns quite In keoplng with tho character sho assumed, Mr. Russoll El- well, as Lewis! the hero of the drama, acted throughout ln a most praiseworthy mannor. ills linos wero by no means heavy for a Juvenile load, but thoy wore woll rendered, and IiIb facial expression whon accused of tho theft of tho* lottor woro particularly true to*'lifo. Tho bad man* of tho* piny was C. Tl. MeCrnno, as Jamos Harper, Wo fool oursolvos Incnpablo of offering a criticism of this character, but—Oh you villain! To sum ■ up briefly, tho casto 1I003 riot loavo mueh to "cavil about, but tho support of Its momborH ono to lho other is decidedly weak. Thoro Is altogether loo much attempt at Individualism, and the combinative offoct suffers In consequence. On Tuesday of this week a special meeting was held in the council chambers and the several matters brought forward were dealt with in a business-like and expeditious manner. The city's representatives were all in their accustomed' places when', the following matters were taken up and disposed of: 1. . A petition was submitted from tho members of Knox- Presbyterian church asking that the houses in the restricted district be closed. . > 2. , From a ' number of women in Fernie asking for the theaters to be closed on Sunday. • ■ 3. Two petitions from (1) prominent citizens and (2) from the members of' the Church . of' the*- Holy Family that the theaters be kept open on Sunday. ■ All of the above when they 'came up for discussion were ordered filed." As a result'-of a communication from R. W. McDonald regarding the auditing of the city booksthe finance committee * strongly recommended that the endeavor be made to have E. B. McDermid make a final audit for 1910:* , ■ L.P. Eckstein addressed the'council * in writing advocating the holding of. another public meeting to take -,up and disquss city.affairs, hut this was, deemed unnecessary^.as it is assumed that the auditor will shortly complete the audit whereby.- every, ratepayer will be fully apprised relative to the financial status of the municipality. As a result -of the letter frorii the local agents;.of the.; .United States Fidelity & .Guaranty; Company stating that they- do not wish to carry the bond of Indemnity unless the ' audit be made semi-annually, ,,it was decided that this • should hereafter be done and that the ■ bonding company be so informed.'. - ° , The superintendent of light and power was instructed to interview Mr, Mutz about the extending of service to the brewery; | In consequence of an error in the estimates of the school board for tho present year the city clerk was requested to notify the board that they furnish a statement of expenditure, together with a supplementary estimate, and to put in appearance at the next' meeting to discuss the matter. It was also recommended by the finance committee that advantage be taken of the 10 per cent, discount for the prompt payment of the-bill of t*he. Kootenay Telephone company; also that R. H.

SPAIN TREMBLES FOR, LOYALTY OF ARMY Men Prominent in Public Life in United States Are Involved. SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 4.—The action of the federal grand' jury yesterday afternoon in returning six indictments charging conspiracy to defraud the United States government out of approximately 20,000 acres of coal lands, estimated to be worth between $150,000,000,, and $200,000,000, has launched what is believed will result in a national scandal und il is believed to foreshadow the intention of the government to cancel all coal land filings in Alaska. Should such action be taken lands valued at one billion dollars would be released. Those who aro under indictment today are: Raymond Brown and Wil- . Ham It. Dunn of Spokane; Charles H. Doughten, formerly of Spokano, now a resident of Seattle; ex-Mayor Harry White of Seattle, now a resident of ■Los Angclos; Charles A. McKenzie, capitalist of Seattle; Donald A, McKenzie, capitalist and promoter of ^Washington, D. C, Seattle ancl Alaska. r' involved in the formal accusations made by a federal, grand jury of Spokane, are the names of some of the most prominent men.in public life, the president of the American Beet Sugar company, governors and congressmen. Special agents of the general land office who have labored months ln the northwest and Alaska, and ■- who brought to Spokane literally a ton of evidence, liave been well rewarded for it is believed with the return of the indictments today in' these new groups the restoration to the government of thousands of acres of coal lands valued at millions of dollars is made possible. MADRID, Oct. 27. Via Hendaye, Oct. 28,—Doubtful of the loyalty of the Spanish army to the government, Spain is today bending every effort to strengthen her civil guard, the strongest bulwark of reaction-in the country. Recruiting is going on everywhere for the guard * and' since the revolution in Portugal, its membership has been almost doubled. " The Civil Guard is distinct from the regular police, corresponding more nearly to the French gendarmerie, or to the Mexican ruralcs..' In the vicinity of Barcelona alone the government now has 3,000 guardsmen* ready for service or. an instant's notice. While the troops aro recruited from the people, ...share the latters' sympathies and prejudices and are saturated with Republicanism, the guardsmen are more mercenaries. They are well paid and instead of being gathered haphazard by conscription, are picked from just the material'the government wants. The prisons contribute largely to the filling of their ranks. HE CANNOT STEM THE TIDE. CATHOLIC RECOGNITION OF SOCIALIST JUSTICE. The Catholic Universe of Cleveland, 0.,-a strongly anti-Socialistic publication* in a long review of the Deitz case, pointing out the injustices clone the Deitz family, calls, attention to the fact that "a Socialist* mayor, not ,a Republican or a. Democrat, took active steps to 'secure competent counsel for* the prisoners that they might have a fair trial. To,,quote: _ ""•"'In the 'Battle of"CamefoinDam'~in" Cardinal Logue, the Primate of all Ireland, 'has paid another visit to the shores of Young Columbia ancl being a prominent man and an exalted dignitary of the Catholic church, it was only natural that the cardinal should be interviewed by the representatives of the press. No one will deny that the cardinal is a Biblical scholar and that he is well versed in., theology and moral philosophy, but the student of economics will give but little credit to the .intelligence of the cardinal when analyzing his statements relative to problems that seriously affect the material interests of the masses of the people. - - The cardinal, in one of his statements, declared: "The church, is' strongly opposed to Socialism, because it is anti-Christian. Professed Socialist leaders declare themselves either free thinkers, or,atheists. Of course, there can be no alliance between thc church and such. The men and women who,do not willlngs submit themselves to God's laws and his disciples are, not likely to regard human laws as possessing much binding ,fOnce.__ ' " , ____ " __ denies the ballot on earth to be particularly favored in heaven? If such sentiments are in conformity with the spirit of Christianity, then we are forced to deplore that Christianity offers so little to the moneyless men and women of the earth. , But the cardinal, continuing,' said: "As for the schools,- the Catholic church-has always opposed the principle of your public, school system." It must be presumed ' from the above statement that i the public school system iri the opinion of the cardinal is as anti-Christian as Socialism. The public school has been the only temple of education in wliich the poor man could educate his child, and yet, the cardinal is opposed to a school system tbat disseminates learning among that vast army of children who are the posterity of impoverished parents. The cardinal, closing his' interview said: ' "As I see it, there are a number' of problems confronting thc American people. Divorce, as I have said, is one of the greatest lo be recokned with. Then there's the negro question. Your negroes are not amalgamating, but they have been granted political.rights; I think this will be a serious problem to solve. Then there are the trusts. I am of the opinion Ihat they should be controlled so as not to permit, a few people to gel the whole trade of the country." The cardinal in the above, acknowledges that there are a number of problems confronting us and,yet, this learned man of the church advances no remedies by which those problems can be solved. The negro, divorce and trust problems are here, but the cardinal offers no prescription to cure the evils. Christianity and' the church have been in business for more than, 1,900 years and yet, a cardinal is' forced: to admit the infamies that load our civilization, The cardinal says that the trusts should be "controlled," but how?. The trusts arc becoming more powerful every year and every intelligent man is now" recognizing the fact that the trusts control the governments of the earth. The cardinal and his colleagues may use all their "power aud influence to stem the tide of Socialism, but their efforts will ,be unavailing, for the oppressed of the earth will little longer remain on their knees while a privileged few live upon the wealth that is minted from the sweat and tears of labor. . "BOY SCOUTS" VS, WORKERS SONG FOR LABOR. my wage-working Wisconsin, between 100 deputies on one side ancl an old'man named John F. Dietz, and his family consisting of his wife, daughter, son, and little boy of seven on the other side, in which upward of 2,000 shots were fired, thousands of "honest, law-abiding and God-fearing Americans see on the one hand tyranny and despotism masquerading in the trappings of 'law and order' ancl on the other a sturdy pioneer with his loyal wife and chlldron fighting single-handed under the stars and stripes the battle of humanity against illegal trusts and corporations—the most eloquent 'Con-, servation Congress' since tho declaration ancl war of independence, proclaiming to the world In the immortal words of Patrick Henry, 'Give us liberty or givo mo death!' ."Then Hie curtnl'n was rung clown on n most, drnmatlc tableau.

Mr. Ciuilmin wll! meet lilt. t'eltltH t'l'lllll couple of weeks. The cardinal has branded Socialism as "anti-Christian" without producing a'single atom of logical evidence or argument to substantiate his statement. What a Socialist's religious convictions may be relative to God or the church have, no more to do with Socialism-than, a Republican's convictions of God and Christianity have to do' with Republicanism. It will not be denied but that there arc Socialists who doubt the veracity of scripture, but It likewise must be admitted that men of all political creeds doubt the Biblical stories of God and refuse to accept the doctrines of Christianity as interpreted by the church. But because theso mon rofuso to place implicit trust nncl confldonco in tho teachings of the church, aro their political creeds to bo arraigned on such grounds and condemned? Socialism is demanding that labor shall receive tho full social valuo of Iho product of its toll, and In ordor that labor shnll rocolvo such remuneration It is necessary that the onrth nncl nil the machines of production and distribution shall bo colloctlvoly owned by nil llio, people. Is such a demand anll-Chrlstian?

The super-rich of tho capitalist class in charge of this government and the governments abroad have for the last score of years encountered much difficulty in bolstering up the profession of collective murder. Lurid bill boards showing the boys in blue and kahki, exhortations in the public press by the paid liars.and apologists of capitalist misrule have failed to bring the necessary enlistments, nor' has an increase of pay and nllow-c ances enabled"'them to hold more than a scant, one-fifth of the recruits they have obtained for so much as one term of three years. Then, too, the world contagion of class consciousness is spreading like a plague through the army and navy, and it has seemed to the,, capitalists thai they were but organizing the working class in arms to do the bidding of the working class in civil life. Even the"petty capitalists, the dear taxpayers as they mistakenly assume themselves to be, are ■murmuring at the increasing burden which they >n turn must shift to the shoulders of the rebelling workers. That most; despicable bit of legislation, ever enacted by the ■ American congress, the Dick Military bill, it is feared, will fall short of its murderous application.

Difference in Men's Genius Much Less Than Is Supposed. * ..VANCOUVER, Nov. 5—The Dominion census," which will he, taken next summer, Probably in June, will show., ■'that British Columbia has at least , 300^000 people. The census of* 1901 'showed British Columbia's population " to be 190,000. British Columbia is at present represented in the Dominion , House bf Commons by seven members. The census of next summer will, according to simple arithmetic and Hie British North America Act, which is not so simple, give British Columbia 12 members in the House of Commons. What the B. .N. A. Act Says. .tTho- British North America Act made Quebec the pivotal province and says: -* , , .(1).' Quebec shall always have 05 .- members; ' l> ' " ■'. (2) There shall .be assigned *o ",'ea'ch of the other provinces such a number..of members as will average the same proportion to the number of its population (ascertained by census) as the number of 65 bears to • the number' of the population of Quebec. - . , ■ ' '. , (3) In the computation.. of the number of members for, a province, a fractional part not exceeding one- half of the whole number requisite 'for entitling the province to a member shall be disregarded; but a fractional exceeding one-half of that number shall be .equivalent to the wholo ' number. .-.' * (4) An any such readjustment the number of members, for a province shall no't be reduced, unless the proportion whicli""the number,of the population of the province bore to the number of the aggregate population of Canada at the then last preceding readjustment of the number of members for the province is ascertained a\ the then latest census to be diminished by one-twentieth part or upwards.-- ' - ; (5) Such - readjustment shall not take effect until the termination bf the then .existing'parliament _ The difference of natural talents in different' men is, in reality, much less than-.we* are aware of; and the very different genius which appears to distinguish men of different professions,- when grown up to maturity, is not upon many occasions so much the cause, as, the effect of the division of labor. The difference between the most- dissimilar . characters, 'be- tweeii* a philosopher and a common street porter, for example, seems lo arise not so much from nature, as from habit, custom, and education. When they came into the world, and for the first, six or eight years of their existence, they were perhaps very,alike, and neither their parents nor their playfellows could perceive any remarkable difference. About that age, or soon after, thoy * came to bo employed in vory different occupations. The difference of talents comes then to bo taken notico of, and widens by degrees, till at last the vanity of the philosopher is willing to acknowledge scarce any resemblance. But without the disposition to truck, barter and exchange, every man must have procured to himself every necessity and convenience' of life. All had the same duties to perform, the same work to do,, and there could have been no such difference of employment as could alone give occasion to any great difference of talent. As it is this disposition which forms that difference of talents, so remarkable among-men of different,,professions,' so it is this same disposition which renders that difference useful. Many tribes of animals, acknowledged to be all of the same species, derive from nature'a much more remarkable distinction-of gehius, than what, antecedent to custom, and custom appears to take place among men., By nature ii philosopher is not in 'genius and disposition half so different from a street porter, as a mastiff is from a greyhound, or a greyhound from a spaniel, or this last from a shepherd's dog. ..Those different tribes cf animals, however, though all. of the same species, are of scarce any use to one another. The strength of the mastiff is not in the least supported either by the swiftness of the greyhound -or by , the * sagacity of the spaniel, or by the docility, of the shepherd's dog. The effects of these different geniuses and talents, for want of the power 'or disposition to barter- juggling,' thimble-rigging, card-sharping, swindling and adulteration.* !,' You can make money by advertising, by drumming up sales, by rebating, - but you cannot add iii these ways one dollar to our national wealth. - . _ You can make money, <by working others, but only work Itself can make wealth. .* - . You can steal the earnings of widows and orphans,-the poor nnd helpless, the slow and ignorant. You can make money that way; .but «ou labor ' SAVING MINERS ABROAD i ■ . WHAT VARIOUS COUNTRIES ARE DOING' FOR. THE COAL- DIGGER. ' )W can only make wealth by labor in mills,- mines, fields and factories. You can make money by selling real'estate, by evading taxes, by shell-games, by political knavery ancl by public plunder. .You can make money by excessive prices, by rotten tenements, by child labor, by political laws, hy smuggling, but you cannot" make wealth. And another funny thing is you can make millions by working others, but you cannot make millions by working yourself. A man toiling through life for $5 a day* makes very little money. Harriman juggles stocks and in ten minutes makes more money than Hie 200,000 steel workers can save after their.lives of toll. " Armour & Co. can mako more money by increasing the price ot oil than all his Italians can save while- digging his pipe lines. But Harriman ancl Rockefeller and Armour cannot make wealth by all this monkey business. The mon who make wealth must labor,in the fields, factories, mills mines' and workshops. Little children can make wealth' by- ev'eii their feeble toil. Mothers ..can make wealth by labor, but these men, women and. children make little money. Twenty ...millions of men, more or less, actually labor, in this country and make billions of wealth, but they have in the end little money. ' , A few men juggle wealth and make lots of money, while working men .who produce wealth sometimes get enough food, clothing and shelter to enable them to keep out of the poorhouse. If you. are interested, therefore, in mines go to Wall street ancl monkey with the market,, .don't go into the mines and produce ore. If are Interested in transportation, go down to Wall street' and - juggle with stocks; don't grab a switch and think you aro the cheese. If you are interested -in steel and want to get rich, - don't spend your lime sweating before the furnace,' get busy in the market. For there are lots of ways to make money, but there is only one way to make wealth. Advanced Methods of Conserving Life ,'• Through Preventative, Measures and Provinding Effective .... .-"" .

The number of members of the House of Commons may be from time to time increased- by' tho Parliament of Canada, provided the proportionate representation of the provinces prescribed by this act Is not thereby disturbed. t Five More for British Columbia. The population of Quebec in 1901 was 1,625,000. Quebec then has one members for each 25,000 people.. Therefore British Columbia has 12 members. Work it out for yourself.

Each animal is still obliged to support ancl defend itself, separately and Independently, and derives no sort of advantage from the variety of talents with which nature has distinguished Its fellows. Among ,men, on the contrary, the most dissimilar geniuses are of use to another; the different produces of their respective talents, by the general disposition to truck, barter and exchange being brought, as It wero,.

And the way the news hunts up the editor Is also pleasant to contemplate. There Is something really strange about the way the news Items act. When tho paper is out tho. editor simply goes to his desk and leans back in his easy chair and looks, wise and waits for noxt week's press day.

Experimental work conducted in a Yorkshire colliery, with a' view to 'solving the problem of rescue work, where it was sought to produce such conditions as prevail in a mine after, a disaster, by he construction of a large gallery filled with deadly fumes: arid obstacles to imitate fallen roof, sides'; etc., placed in the way of the fescue corps, into which colliers, well equipped with breathing apparatus, safely entered, gave such stimulus to inventors to devise improved apparatus that as a result six rescue stations have been established in England, one in Wales, oue in Scotland nnd a dozen more in project in various parts of the United Kingdom. In Austria the law requires a pneu- mataphore be kept in order and readiness for every 100 miners employed." The government permits the coal owners the choice of four approved types of breathing apparatus, but the mining office- may authorize the use of any new appliance approved in future. - In'the different states and districts of Germany the regulations vary according to the natural conditions of tlie. mines, but' as evidence of the stringency of the law it may be mentioned that no fewer than 700 sets of breathing appliances are kept ready for use „ in the Dortmund district alone, and in the Breslau-district no mine has less "than two sets, the government, mining engineer being , empowered .to *■ order any number he deems fit. In France all mines employing more than 100 persons under ground upon one shift" must be ' furnished with breathing apparatus, the number ranging from two to six per inine0 according to' size, gassy nature, number of., workers, etc., and dodble brigades of not, less than eight trained men must be kept for every set of rescue appliances. Some interesting experiments in the utility of safety chambers have been conducted recently in Franco, ancl as a result some of the leading colliery companies are putting "blind" galleries, supplied with compressed air, water,' food, etc., and signal arrangements in their pits. In Holland a number of mine workers must.bo trained to rescue work, _nrid-sets-o£-ap*oaratus_-must_equal_onQ_ for evory ,50 miners employed. In Belgium there must be a breathing appliance for every 200 underground workers in fiery mines of the second third degree, with trained rescue brigades of not less than four men per set of apparatus. A leading company is organizing a well-equipped rescue station, stnffed with 25 picked and trained men, who know every Inch of the .company's mines.— The Industrial Index.'

All you have to do is curb your desires and remember that you are a workingman, one wbo produces, nnd therefore have no right to feel about this thing differently than you should. All you havo, to do is marry early. What of the children? Agnin I tell you ono of tho most dlsngroeabio hnd annoying experiences Is to talk with a workingmnn. Too mnny questions aro nskod. Children? Well, first of all, you have nb business to havo any, But If you hapiion lo hnvo somo there aro enough Institutions and undor-age kliidergartons and day nurseries, and slmllnr plnces whero children nro cared for—of courso, children of workliigmon, because? lho inoLlic-rH havo to worlc. Soon enough thoy cnn perjure themselves nnd say they nro two yenrs older thnu Ihey vtiro and obtain "jobs," Km ployers nro not. as cruel ns those crank Socialists would havo you liollnve. No, slree! l-.mployorH say miffor tho lllllu children to cnmo unto me, for T need thom. My mnchinos cnn bo watched by them und thoy do not demand too much for doing tho work. Kniployors nre never erne] enough lo turn llllle children nwny just be- ijuum* tht;)* aru young and might lo bo nl. piny and not in tlm fnclory. They enn gel nil lho work tlmy wnnl —-those children, So you hoc children nro really nn Inveslmcint nnd not an expense, So our banker advisor sayi* ngnln: Mnrry onrly mid make your biiHliiess your pleasure, * You hnvo no IiiihIiiohh? Well, make your work your pleasure, You eaiinol do II? Why? Oh, yes, you j hn ve let look for a Job before ynu these things? The laboring people have always been unappreclative wretches. They have never-appreciated the men who enme ancl gave tliem fine advice, even though happiness Is so easily gotten. All one has to do Is marry early and mako his businoss his pleasure. Are you going to ask again how one can marry early under tho present, system, and how ho can make work his pleasure If ho has to work more than Is good for him? I would gladly answer you, but I forgot lo ask my banker adviser about It. In fact ho was too busy making money to think of thoso who have no money. IJut let mo* glvo you a ploco of advice, you Impolite, laborer*; you must nover lutorrupi and ask too mnny questions, It Is rntlior onibnrnssliig. nnd shows bad manners.—Oscar Leonard. - FERNIE UNION DIRECTORY Lizard Local General Teamsters No. , 141.

DIAGNOSIS CORRECT; REMEDY FTJTILI. IF TIIE QUESTION were asked, who is the most prominent figure in the British political world today, we venture to remark that the majority would unhesitatingly reply "David Lloyd George." As Chancellor of the Exchequer his utterances carry far more weight than if voiced by "a less prominent individual, and as an. evidence of tho recognition of conditions that have been forced upon him as a result of knowledge gained by his administration of tlie Old-Age Pension Act, he made a speech a few weeks ago at the City Temple in London, regarding the distribution of wealth, which furnishes excellent food for thought. Dealing with the unrest that prevails all-over the civilized world, he averred THAT' NEITHER FREE TRADE NOR PROTECTION WAS A REMEDY, BUT THAT A COMPLETE CHANGE IN SOCIAL CONDITIONS WAS' NECESSARY, WITH 'THE STATE TAKING TIIE LEAD. Furthermore, he urged the reduction of armaments all around—they, now cost £500,000,000 (Five Hundred Million Pounds) a year—and the opening up of the land for agricultural and dwelling purposes. .. Whatever is done, the remedy must be a bold one. Thc time has "como for a, thorough ovcrhaul- A N ORDER chas been issued by the superin- "** tendent of schools that teachers shall "act in the capacity of truant officers to which great objection is made. They have been requested to ascertain the cause of pupils absences by making either personal call at the homes of the delin-. quents or calling up by phone. No excuses are to be accepted from the brothers or sisters of those who fail to put in appearance. • * Some such instance may arise as did once in a country school. The teacher, an old maid and a strict disciplinarian, during an-epidemic of measles insisted upon all absentees bringing a note to explain the cause of their absence and one .little girl who had been away the day before and returning to school upon being asked if she had brought a note replying in the , negative, was ordered to be sure to come the following day with the /required missive, and next. morning this was the message received: * -- ■, ■ Dear Miss Smith: I kept Annie at home , day before yesterday because I had twins, but I don't think it's catching.

THE EXPLOSION AT PALAU (MEXICO). ~ing~ot~6ur^at"_mralHinu—imperial* (JoiraraoiisT""" "Out of 420,000 adults that die in the course of ■a'year, five-fifths leave no property which it is worth 'anyone's while to pick up—a few articles of cheap clothing," and, perhaps a little furniture, which would hardly pay'to rent if it were sold by the broker's man. Out of £300,000,000 (Three Hundred Millions Pounds) that passes' annually at death, about half belongs to something under 2,000 persons. I saw it suggested by one able writer that most of the destitution that prevails was traceable to the thriftlessness and waste among the wage-earning classes. I do* not know whether ' the gentleman who wroto that article ever tried his hand at keep a family and saving up on'20 shillings a week." According to his figures £8 is thc cost of the up-keep oC armament annually paid by every ltoiiseliold in the British Isles..- '.hi alluding to the popular fallacy thai, as lho rich find employment and pay wagos, they nro to Ihal, extent rendering a service to tho community, he slates that it is "quite the reverse. Tliey are withdrawing a large number of capable mon and women from useful and productive work," In this instance he* is referring more particularly to lho idlo rich. The above observations are certainly significant, cioiiHiiloring Uie soun...; but tlio remedies advanced of rendering the occupancy of the hind more easy to acquire will by no means improve the condition., of tho producing class as n class; and this Lloyd flcorgc ought, to know, as woll an lho iIicmisiiikIh of bis support ors, that if lho Iking •'.tpi'iisim are lessened, then tlio wagos paid are subject, to I'liii-tualic'n cM-iiKf'C'Uent upon tho law of Hiipply and demand.

Another significant feature which must puzzle our wliat inocnlivo-would-therc-ho critics, is the statement, that when General Manager Ludlow noted the fervor thc rescuers were removing the debris from the slope and suggested that they be paid by the car of dirt removed instead of by the day,, they ceased work and refused to return until thoy were told that thoy WOULD NOT HE PAID, Tliey were incensed at tlio thought that thoy.wecc working to save their follow-workers for a monetary eonsideratipn.

[not prepared ihe mixture himself, and For the purpose of detecting and determining the amount of firedamp in mines, and with' the object of pro- . viding a standard of delicacy and accuracy which ihe safety lamp is not supposed to possess, various instruments and appliances of undoubted | ^"~g£ "0"n" 1!le flam0 of the merit have been brought forward from time to time. Most of these appliances, however, have been relegated to the laboratory, for the uso of experts under special circumstances, and have not come into general use for the purpose of thc daily inspections to be made by colliery firemen ancl deputies. A notable exception is the gas-detecting appliance which bears lhe name of ihe newly elected president n of this society; ancl thc explanation most probably is that the Garforth gas detector is tho simplest posslblo addition to an ordinary safety-lamp; which for obvious reasons is, and will probably continue to be, the most suitable gas-detecting appliance for use in the hands of the colliery fire man. A colliery fireman cannot De expected to encumber himself with a variety of scientific instruments, even if he possesses the -needful training enabling him to use them. It is therefore necessary .that" he should be ablo to use his safety lamp', as a gas-detecting appliance, with reasonable intelligence and skill, • and that he should know not only how to de- . tect the prcscn of firedamp, ,but to estimate its amount with approximate accuracy. In tlie hands of a skilful observer, one who not only knows what, to look for,* but who is also able to appreciate tlie indications, that lie observes, there can be little doubt that the safety lamp is capable of detecting and determining, with reasonable accuracy, comparatively, small percentages of firedamp. Nevertheless, amongst those who, are familiar -with gas in mines, and It's appearance on the flame of a safety lamp, there is a somewhat wide diversity of opinion as to the amount of gas indicated by caps of a given size, whilst very few—if any—colliery ' firemen know, of their own knowledge what percentage of gas is indicated by a particular cap. *, It appears to be accepted somewhat generally that the smallest percent age which will produce a complete and' clearly recognizable cap is about 2Vs. On this rpoint, however, there is by Y.r\_..i__q ._<_____. qi_ 1 ini t.v .!___,•£_____ v_* I r___.___. _»,_■ — AA.W..... ...IM... ._..._.-_■-, ....... « ... w— *.*.— ». ._- found those who do not consider it to ,be possible to clearly detect 2% per cent., whilst on the other hand there are several authorities who have given special attention to the subject who affirm that they can detect ancl determlno 2 per cent, or 1 per cent., or even less, It is not proposed to discuss the , merits of these diverse opinions, nor to enter Into any controversy as to how much or how little can be detected with the safety lamp flame. The apparatus has been designed with tho object of avoiding such controversy, ancl an opportunity will presently ho afforded for each one to handle a safety lamp on tlio flame of which a "certain gas cap will bo visible. It. would bo most Interesting and instructive If thoso who have had experience in testing for gas would express an opinion, or give on estimate of what, in their opinion that cap indicates.* nnd Riibser-uontly tho actual composition of tho gaseous mixture will ho, revealed. Tlie writer musi frankly ailmll that when lie first brought, the apparatus hi I o use, and obsorvod lho cap produced by a known percent oko of gns, ho wos greatly Hiirprised; anil hod ho therefore known its composition, he would have given quite an. incorrect estimate of the' percentage of gas present. There can be very little doubt that caps produced by various percentages safety lamp do not appear the same to everybody. A cap which may be quite distinct to one observer may be barely visible to another, or it may present a different appearance. Every one is said to be more or less colorblind lo certain colors or shades of colors, and in firedamp caps one has to, deal with the palest shades of tlie colors most likely to he confused. However this may be, the apparatus now under consideration will enable anyone to familiarize himself with the caps produced by ' known percentages of gas as they appear to him— not as described to him by some one else. ' ■ The Royal Commission " on Mines emphasizes this need for the most careful study of gas Indications, and recommends that: "No man should be eligible for appointment as fireman or deputy unless he is over 25 years of,age, and has had at least five years' practical experience in a mine, and has obtained a certificate from a mining school or other place, approved by the secretary of* state, as to his ability to make accurate tests for firedamp." It was In anticipation of some such recommendation tliat the apparatus now under consideration was designed ancl with its help, when the time comes, tlie writer thinks that the sec-' rotary of state will be satisfied that the mining department of the Manchester university is in a position to give the needful instruction, on practical lines, * and to grant the certificates referred to.***** Recognizing that to be of practical value for the purpose o£ training cql- llery firemen—who cannot be expected to he familiar with the usual equipment—this appliance, or any oilier for the same purpose, must bo free from all complication tending to confuse them, the writer has en-' deavored to devise a means of studying gas caps thereby the person undergoing instruction could take an ordinary safety lamp into his -own hands and use it just as he uses it, or ought to use it, in the mine. In many appliances' for a similar purpose the safety.lamp is contained in a box or chamber, and* the observer, ,(,*,-n___c____ i !";=_tX, t*r,ii_...=a___u,jiwln-ur__.Hn £_**)„ may not handle it. The writer's experience of colliery firemen lead^n him to the conclusion that very many of them would look with suspicion upon a safety lamp which they could not handle; and one cannot blame them. They want to be perfectly satisfied with what they use, and If the Instruction offered to them leaves ony doubt in their minds, it is of little value. „It also necessary that thoro shall bo extreme accuracy in the gas percentages In use. Those receiving instruction must bo able to follow the whole process, They must see tho mixture prepared, and In such a way that they are convinced that tho mixture contains tho percentage' of gas with which the Instructor proposes to demonstrate. When tho apparatus Is usod in tho daytime, It will also bo nocessary to proyldo a room or chamber from which all light con ho oxfcludod, to ur.iihlo tho flumo to bo dourly seen, although with tho aid of a pockot loi-.s quite .small porconliiges nm bu iioen, In tlie shadow, In a fully lighted room.

This vessel is carefully graduated with marks corresponding to Va percent of the volume .of the larger or mlxing vessel. The mixing vessel is a copper cylinder of such internal capacity as to contain enough air to keep the safety lamp burning for about an hour. With the exception of. a numbers of ordinary taps at the top and bottom, a water-level gauge, and a simple arrangement for thoroughly mixing the gas and air, this cylinder is otherwise perfectly plain. The lamp may "be- any standard safety lamp with the gauze protected with the usual shield or bonnet. The air-inlet holes, however, are carefully closed up, w_hile a perforated 'ring tube encircles1-the gauze,, inside the shield, and delivers air al exactly the same point at which it would otherwise enter in the ordinary way. Hy this means the lamp is prevented fiom taking any air to support combustion, except that which is supplied to it, and this is done,. of course, fiom the mixing vessel'already mentioned. Personally, the. writer has so far only. experimented , with the Xaylor bifold burner safety lamp, of the Mi-saut type. He finds thai the dual character which this flame assumes, when reduced for gas testing, makes it especially suitable for the purpose,' whilst thc screw adjustment for raising ond h>w.'?ng the flame is i ,'..r better arrangement than the common wire pricker. Tho double flame (when reduced In size the flame, on tho bifold burner divides into two separate flames) gives increased heating surface, which increases its cap-producing capabilities; and when it is, viewed edgeways, the observer looks through two separate and distinct- caps, and is thus enabled to see the indication bf very small percentages with doubled intensity. ; . A narrow strip of dead, black paint on the inside of the lamp glass is. one of the best and simplest aids to the easy recognition of the cap.* The Apparatus* in Use. If it be- intended to experiment with a 2Va per cent, mixture, tlie copper cylinder is filled, with water until the overflow tap shows it. to be quite full, when .of course, all air is displaced. Tho glass gas holder is now connected with the copper cylinder,' the upper neck being connected with the top of .the cylinder and the lower neck with one of the water taps al the bottom. Doth taps are opened, ancl water begins to flow out of the mixing vessel into the gas holder, displacing, of course, an equal vol; ume of gas, which passes into the copper cylinder to take the place of the water. The rise of water in the glass vessel Ms.* carefully watched until it reaches the. mark indicating,--the de- "sir^.-percentage, wlilcli-iTT-he-pfe§r ent experiment is 2V_ At the same time,la small water gauge enables"one lo avoid any error due to increase or decrease of pressure.. Both taps are then closed, and the glass vessel may be disconnected. There has now been passed into the copper mixing vessel a volume of gas equal to-2Vs per cent, of its capacity, ancl It only remains to draw off the bulk of-water (of course letting in air) until the water-level gauge shows that 100 .volumes displaced by the gas, In other words, there have been drawn Into the cylinder 97Vi volumes of air, to be mixed with tho 2V£ volumes of gas hy a fow rapid revolutions, each way, of the mixing arrangement, Tho mixture Is then ready for the lamp. This lias beon previously lighted, and the top suspended above the oil vessel, so as to mako lt warm. It Is not possible to'screw the oil vessel Into position until aflor tlio lump has beon connected with the copper cylinder and tho flow of air stari od. Tho lamp cannot tako air from tho surrounding atmosphere, so, thnt It will not burn until the nlr supply from tho mixing cylinder is provldod. Thin Is dono hy connecting tho coppor cylinder with Iho wa- tor'supply and allowing the water (o fill it. slowly, thus displacing Iho gas and air mixture, which Is convoyed to ihu wifely lump by moons of a flexible metallic tubo.

He did not think that he was in a very good position to judge the percentage because "his previous experience was not with a lamp burning paraffin, if he had seen the cap on a lamp burn-" ing spirit-he would have thought that there was no moro than 1 per cent, of gas in the mixture. His point was that he did not know from' his own experince where, between the oil and spirit flames, the paraffin flame camo in as regarded .temperature, which' must affect- the dimensions of the cap. - ■ , * ° George H. Hollingworth' (Manchester)" asked whether there would be any difference in the cap. caused by the difference in the pressure outside a^d inside. Again, would hot 'the gas" given off by the combustion affect the flame? -For instance, if rape-seed, oil were being used as against paraffin, would the result be different? G. H. Winstanley, in reply 1o various questions and comments, said that his sole desire was to bring before the members, in an impressive a manner as possible, the fact that probably -no two individuals would receive exactly the same impressions from the faint cap, imd that it would therefore be futile for the authorities to publish a statement or standard ,to the effect that such a proportion of gas would produce a certain size and appearance of ■ cap,, The statement might be quite true for the person who was responsible for describing tho appearances, hut the sense of vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch differed in different individuals. He was prepared to admit that \vh_i he mado tho first experiment with the apparatus, if he had not known evening he considered that ordinary coal gas would suffice;''but he mignt remind them that recent investigations carried on- by Prof. G. II. Thompson and E.t Bessell Whalley seemed to. show that there was very little,* if any, difference in tho caps produced by certain percentages of coal gas aud the same percentages, of methane: George H. Hollingworth , (Manchester), in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Winstanley, said that the apparatus which they had seen was distinctly educative, and "that there was need for such education was shown by the different views-which members—experts in --gas—had taken of the percentage of firedamp in the cap produced. It wa's clear that there was a want of definite knowledge. He did not think' that anybody who had not gone through the previous elaborate experiments could really form an idea as to what percentage of gas there .was persent' when they examined the flame. However, Mr. Winstanley had shown them a practical way of ..ascertaining what a cap • really meant, and as such his device was of a distinct educative valuo. Georgo 13. Harrison (II. M. Inspector of Mines, .Swinton),* in seconding the proposal, said that ho had had that night an opportunity that ho very much appreciated. He had often read tho percentages, and was afraid that he often forgot what he read, or at any rate felt uncertain,,, when forming an, opinion. Now," however, he had seen 2 per cent, of firedamp In something like three-eights of an inch of cap, and he would be. better able to judge in future. He was thankful to Mr. Winstanley for giving them this opportunity. He preferred to see dr; wriglesworth, d. d. s. DENTIST."

In fact, so far did he doubt what he saw that ho went through \be whole experiment again,,including the recalibration of the apparatus. Tho mixture used in the-demonstration' which they had just witnessed had beon prepared only half an hour before the commencement of the meeting, 'in the presence of a member. ' It was a 2-per cent, mixture of coal gas and air; namely, two volumes of gas and 98 volumes of air. In reply to Mr. Eice, he said, that there could be. no doubt that the character, of the illuminating oil used in the lamp had a considerable effect upon the cap produced by a given percentage of gas. The hotter the flame was, the larger would be the cap. ,. He could not at the moment answer Mr. Eice positively, but he believed that the temperature of high flash-point petroleum compared more nearly with that of the heavy so- called ."colza',' oils than that of the highly inflammable spirit "used in some lamps. As a matter of-fact, he ventured to say that'all the so-called . "colza" oils" cohtained_a cerfaiiTliToportiorrdf" petroleum. Indeed, ho believed' such a mixture was advantageous, about one'part" of petroleum to-two parts of heavy oil. The result was a free burning oil, giving a clean flame without tending to clog the wick. Doctor' Cadman, in his report to the Royal Commission, explained that, in order to get a lamp which satisfied him for his purpose, he had to procure colza oil. Now, pure colza oil was most difficult to procure, except In small quantities; but this was not the only difficulty; there* was a far more serious one; namely, that a safety lamp filled with pure colza oil would only burn for a very short time, and would be quite useless for practical purposes. Tho oil thickened and clogged up tho capillaries of the wick. All commorclol safety-lump oils, oven those which professed to be puro colza, contained a cortaln proportion of petroleum, and it would always bo possible, when lumps using those oils wore burning In puro air, to find a certain outer halo suggostlvo of the presence of a small quantity of gas, This In Itself wns not, a disadvantage, It merely hocomo necessary thnt Ihoso whoso duly It wns to tost for,gas should ho able to distinguish botwoon this Hiiggesllon of n enp, In puro nlr, and tho cap produced hy a small per- eenlngoof gns.

The resolution was carried with acclamation. ■ George 1-1. Winstanley, in responding jo tho .vote of thanks, said that he had been working on the ' appliance for some time. It arose, as he had told them, partly in anticipation of some such' recommendation as the one lo which he had referred in the second report of°the Royal Commission on Alines, and partly out of the experience1 he had gained in connection with the enquiry into the only colliery explosion of serious dimensions that had occurred in the Lancashire coal field during the last 25 years. It was evident that something of the kind was hrgently needed, and having brought his appliance inlo what he believed was a practically useful condition, he felt* IV to be his duty to make the first communication "of his results, through the Manchester Geological and Mining Society, to the the institution of-mining engineers, whose members were best able to recognize any useful features that the appliance might possess. —He—wished-againT"however~to—em"**- phasize the fact that his appliance was not an apparatus to detect the presence of gas. It was simply an appliance to enable them -the more intelligently' and accurately to carry out the best-known method of gas detection' with the ordinary safety lamp.—Mines and Minerals. F. C.

La differenza tra la ricchezza prodot- ta dal lavoro e la poi-'zione ricevuta dal, lavoro in forma di salario, am- monta a 18 bilioni di dollari i quali vanno nei forzieri dl chi non ha faticato. Questa statlstica spiega le cause che producono il panico e le crisi.- I 18 bilioni di dollari di ricchezza sono il soprappiu che ingombra il mercato e che 1 lavoratori non possono com- perare per il semplice fatto che essi non hanno ricevuto che il 25 per cento di quanto hanno prodotto. Se per un dollaro di merce che voi pro- ducete e lanciate sul mercato voi ricevete solo 25 soldi, voi di questo dollaro di merce non potete comper- arne che un quarto, e ne lasciate i tre quarti ad ingombrare il mercato. Di quattro cappelli, di quattro paia di scarpe ecc appena' un capelhv un paio di scarpe, ecc. possono essere comperati dai lavoratori, perche* essi hanno ricevuto' appena il prezzo d'un cappello, d'un paio di scarpe, ecc. , I tre cappelli, le tre paia di scarpe, i tre quarti' della- merce che riman- gono invenduti fanno ■ eliminuire la produzione, aumentare la disoccupa- zione, nascere le crisi. ■Perche-, le fabbriche di cappelli ddvrebbero produrre nuovi cappelli dal momento che su ogni cento cappelli prodotti prima, 75 sono rimasti invenduti?

The old adage "too many cooks spoil the broth" was fully exemplified, but with this differen "too much brandy spoils the pie." * The Pathd Gazette, consisting of such films as the Mauretania leaving New York dock, Aquatic Sports at Lowestoft; fragments of play between Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday; may be said to be an augury of the days when the printed newspaper will bo obsolete!

The chief feature, however,- was the, — "TyrantT)i^JeT*irsaienn"~a~TatlicS film" of 1,500 feet, clone in colors, which produced an effect that was truly marvelous. The cast of this religious drama from the most talented Paris: ian theaters, consisting as it does of , world-famous actor's, and actresses, delinfated the respective characters in masterly style. The stage settings, and the costuming of the dramatic personae, were so artistically arranged, so vivid in color, that the eye was completely dazzled with brilliancy. .Orlando received courtesies at the hands of two young Christians, Aladin, tho. Tyrant, as a punishment for the profanation of .tho mosque by tho Christians condemns thom to death on flic* funoral pyre.

I guess that Chink must have skidooed when the other fellow let go of him, and I reckon I'd have skiddooed too if ..'d had a Slav after me with' a knife about 18 inches long. Yes it was 18 inches for a cert. He worked for How, Foon, the Chink did. When Bob Clerke took the Slav to jail he kept hollering: Mamma! Mamma! No, no, not Bob Clerke; the Slav.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : J. W. Bennet |
Date Issued | 1910-11-12 |
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. |
