She left Antwerp, on December'7, for St. Johns N. B. She had on board 300 Hungarian emigrants and a crew of about 100 meni She was 'definitely sighted ol. Oldhead of Kinsdale, 16 miles west of this port early today.* She was then proceeding slowly under her own steam, and signalled that she was coming in here. She declined the help of a tug sent out to assist her and came in alone. The trouble with her .boilers'1 was the reason that'' Mount Royal had put back. " She is at.best a slow boat and shortly after.leaving the British coast she encountered a series of violent gales. She battled with the heavy weather for. a fortnight, until Xmas. 'eye, when serious, trouble with her boliers developed. The steamer was then in longtitudo 21 west, and latitude *43 north. The engine.room staff ultimately succeeded in obtaining a moderate supply of steam, but the weather was such that the captain reluctantly declared it was' best 7 to make for the Irish coast.

Comrade George Smith of Coal Creek occupied the chair, and the meeting opened by singing of Socialist songs. Comrade Harrington was the speaker, and his subject was "The History of the, Labor Movement," and it was patent to all that he had made a comprehensive study of his subject. " Comrade Harrington remarked that ■ in order to under- stand the lesson of the labor movement it was necessary to taVe a brief review of primitive man, and ,in the earliest records of primitive man-'- we find him living in a .' common state; it was assumed at one time lie was living as a tree . dweller, he may have lived alone, but there was no actual proof.

FATALITIES Succession of Serious Disasters May; Lead to Establisjiment of Depapartnient pf Thrt'-e horrifying coal mine disasters in the United States, at- - tended with the loss of more .than one thousand lives. This is the recent record of a single week. The world pauses' in terrified amaze- . ment and asks "can nothing be done to prevent this awful loss of life and destruction of property. Without doubt a_closer surveillance of coal mines and mining methods generally is' necessary. In - countries where' mines are under government control, ' while acci- ■ dents are not by any, means - un- . known, they are- at least far less 'numerous than they have been the . past few . years in the United States, where statistics show that mine accidents and the percentage vof 'fatalities is increasing, and * that they;* are -thr.ee times ..more, numerous than in Belguim," for' instance. - . ... , -* ' Until lately it has been earnestly hoped™.that the - long-continued - - effort to have created a govern- ment'Department "of Mines and Mining * was about to meet ^witb.' success—President Eoosevelt-. hav-' ' ,~*' - ' - ■**"" * , , 4 - i *' ' ing become interested so -far in* the, mattes as to recommend it in his,; . recent message to Congress.

S.—Pour men attempted to rob the passengers on a Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger train standing in the union station here yesterday. They were frightened off without securing any money or valuables, but carrying two grips belonging to German emigrants. Two of the robbers' showed revolvers and, pointing'them at the foreigners, commanded 'them to give up their valuables. H. W. Drew, the conductor, hit one of the robbers in the head with his lantern and they fled. None of them were masked, but all had good clothing. • - Shortly after the attemptecfrob- bery, tho police arrested two men in.the . vicinity of • the railroad yards. ;They gave their names as Rube Walsh and John Coss.

The 8 hour day agitation was on at this time, and although the knights of labor denounced it the movement was so widespread and conducted in such a vigorous manner, Simons tells us that no one not living in those days can have any conception of the extent and vigor.of this movement, and the knights .of. labor .were..swept into the movement in spite of themselves, they had set the day of its millennial dawnj for May'1st 1886 but inJthe midst of" the excitement evolving from* incidents connected .'with the' McCormack- fac-' tbry "strike" in - November, 1877 ■ a I fanatic •'. hurled a bomb at. a platoon" of police aiid 68 police were wounded,- seven oi whom died _of -6taa»pj; respasfcisd^; by-f^nejaiies and friends alike.*-He-was offered- a commutation of sentence if * he would sign a petition of clemency' but he refused, saying to the plub- lic that he was an innocent man, and was entitled to .his freedom and' not a commutation pf- his sentence, but he told his lawyer that if he were' pardoned it would sure be the death of his comrades and be an act of desertion' on his part.

Augustas Hoinxe wad ; arrested today by a United States Marshall on an in. dlctment charging him with having illegally certified a cheque on thc Meier.ntiK' N.-.Uonal banlt. He was held in P50.000 bail, '--lor .ntrrinf. a plcn of not RUilty to .ho indictment. ■ this crime some strikers had been shot down at a mass meeting. The chief of police Bonfield, as Charles Russell says in. Appleton's magazine for October,1 Russell was reporter for the New York World-at .this time. ' Russell says that Bonfield went to make peace in a manner old enough in history but new-, to American communities, he cracked the heads * of all in sight, until no one remained standing upon his feet, and then declared that, peace was restored. This method" of suppressing a strike culminating in the shooting of the strikers caused the citizens to hold an indignation meeting 'in Hay- market square. Mayor Harrison attended-the-meeting-himself—and-l-r,-, found it qbite orderly, but after he' had left the meeting this platoon of police .were hurried - to the. spot, and the bomb .was thrown. Russell describes the excitement and fear which seized the entire country,, and now after 20 years asks what were we afraid of. And' the answer is, 6 men in Buckram,' no more humiliating as it is, yet so stands the fact .eferr- ing to that old boaster Sir John Falstaff in Henry the Fourth who having been scared in the darkness, by, Prince Hal and Pjones, afterwards boasted tbat h.j had fought six men .in j3uckram. Schnaubilt, who had thrown tbe bomb, Charles Russell says, passed quietly out of Chic.go, and made his way to Germany to live and die in peace. Eight men were arrested, four of whom were Socialist editors and leaders in the 8 hour movement. One was an an- arffchist editor Linge, who' blew his head ofl: by detonating a cartridge of fulphimating mercury in his mouth, He was the only dangerous man amongst the 8 and the' only anarchist; the 4 Socialist editors were sentenced to death and the, verdict was protested against by many eminent lawyers William 'Morris sending, a protest from'Lonclon, the,day of the ex- ecw-tYonj^Charles' .Russell says, that he; saw a number oi men crowding impunity; they must send- them to the Houses of Legislature on the -basis of ■ the class .struggle, .men who " know what.* the workers want, and know how to get it, and-not till this class of men are sent will the- workers' emancipation *"be_ effected. After several questions had been asked and. answered, the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the International'Party. 4 I. ! DR.

LABORS UNCERTAIN LOT i - ' «w— The daily press of Canada for some time has been asserting that ' the "panic" would not affect ' Canada and especially Western Canada, to any extent. What do we find? 1240 men idle in the coal trade of Western Canada alone. Hundreds of; railway m«n laid off by the C. P. R. About 50 „ per cent, less employed in the .uiBb?. i5&.?try. And every day brings the ntvs of more men .being laid . off, and unemployed meetings being held, in Canadian ..cities. What -does it all mean ? Go into the centres of industry in Cft»ada. today. What can'you see ? Hundreds,of the finest artisans that ever struck a'blow, idle. You can see them at every street corner, or crowded together where they can find a little shelter,—like so many dumb a*ni-; reals, looking dejected and help- lt_s and wondering what is. the ji-atte-i The suffering 0that would ensue ii we were to get one of our cold sqaps like we had in 1907, would be terrible to contemplate. The lot of the working- man and his wife and children when there is nO.work to be had-and the Alender savings have been exhaus- - .ted—can never be understood except by those who have been through it. Some goody goody, well-to-do person will say,: "Why —clon-t the working—class—saye- their money." By dint .of self- denial a working man may save a little for a rainy day. But wages generally are screwed down to the substinence point," and in this country the' opportunities of saving money arc few* and especially to the man struggling * to ■keep a home together ' and raise his children and educate them properly. "Society today,'does ■»_*t recognize .he. rights of labor to em- 'ployment. A mail"may be working today,—-tomorrow- he may he idle and with the loss of his job —he loses his daily bread. It is the great uncertainty of tho future that haunts us night and day, in spite of our much vaiiht- ed civilization. The workers ol the world today are at the mercy of the most devilish scroundrels.that ever planned to enslave tho human family. The', entire capitalistic system has been built u*> for-tho purpose of profit mangerlng, in order that some should toil in pain and suffering, while others should ride in automobiles and enjoy the lux- uries of the earth, ■• -, Here we are today, in one of the finest countries that God ever gave to man. Millions of acres of the most fertile land in the world waiting to be cultivated. Unbounded resources: and mineral -wealth untold in this fair Dominion awaiting the labor of man. Our mines, factories, and mills idle, our laborers walking the streets. Then you say there is no panic —only a little financial stringency. Tho truth Ib you1 do not know what is tho mattor, and if you do know; you daro not toll tho truth, Vou dare not toll uh that your entire capitalist nystein is rotten I to the core. That your preachers and parsons are paid by capital to so distort and twist thc gospol in order to perpetuate this hellish syBtem. That your snug and smooth politicians would polute tho atmosphere of any honest man.. Thnt many of your public men live for "Wine, Womon and Graft" You dare not tell the working class of Canada the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. For just as soon aa tho workers get to know the truth: Goodbye to the present system of Capitalism. Then and not till then will we cotne to our own, and the working class own and contiol that by which they live and thereby pt an end to the uncertainty of Liber's lot. The above cut is from a drawing made for the Rocky Mountain Cement Co., at Blairmore. The plant is a gigantic affair, with a capacity of 1,200 barrels of cement per' day. The main building is .275 x 73 feet, the boiler room 80 x 46; engine room 66 x 47; coal grinding house 70 x 45; building for crusher mills and dryer, 100 x 48; stock house, 200 x 64; .machine shops, 80 x 40; and office and laboratory, 48 x 36.

GIVE THE WOMEN A VOTE ,We men have made sUoh a hellish mess of affairs by using our votes in , the manner -we ,haye, that we could get nothing worse if. we allowed our wives, sisters and daughters to have.a yote and voice ' in' the conduct of affairs. The influence of our women in national and local government would go a long way to keep men in the right path . and to ensure happiness to our entire nation. VOTE WISELY Now that the civic election time is drawing near, it is timely and wise to think what we shall need to benefit the city. And it is necessary" for every voter to pause and consider the candidates (who ever they may be) look well into their past, as well *as their present.- Do not \-ote for a man because he is a friend, or because others are doing so. But vote for the man that is going to look the shutting off of one or two industries would not hav. the same effect. ."v ' .\ [r.. '-.Buy, KOOTENAY La rids at R FRUIT obson Five,Trains daily, C. P.

Some people' urge that to give women a vote would unisex'them, and other equally idiotic objections are heard against, granting a franchise to women. Elizabeth Robins in her new novel makes one of her. characters reply to these - arguments as follows: "Don't you know that there are girls and'women-in this very city who are working early and late for rich men, and who are expected by these same employers to Iivo on six shillings a -yeek? Perhaps I'm wrong in say- "'" it ..».-. Mi.."*t the women to ing the men ex.***-, live on that. It "may be that t&ey know that'no'girl can—it may be' that the men know--bow..that struggle ends; But do they care? Do they bother about chivalry? Yet they, and all of you are dreadfully exercised * for fearing having a vote would unsex women, ... I stood and looked at them! hundreds of worn women- coining down steep stairs and pouring out into tho streets. What had they all beon doing? . . , , Thoy had been making ci- gars—sponding tho best years of their lives, spending all Iheir youth, in that grim, dirty street making cigars for men. Whose „ chivalry, prevents that ? . . '. No chivalry prevents men from getting women at the very lowest wage (I want you to notice the low wage is the man's consideration in all this)—men get these women, that tbey say are so tender and so delicate, to undertake the almost intolerable toil of tho rope-walk. They'get women to make bricks. .. . That's all right, Women are permitted to swoat ovor other peopled washing, v/heri, they should be caring for thoir own babies. , . At the pit-trams wo sort coal. But a voto wovjd soil our hands! Vou may wear out women's lives in factories, you mny Rweat them in tho slums, you may drive them to the streets. Vou do. But a vote would unsex them." When women" have tho vote thoy will use it ior tho upraising oi humanity aii'l for tlie aw^j-ing into oblivion of tho shakles that bind the poor industrial wage slave ot today* Give the women a votel What says your old party politician, o * WILL NOT BE TRIED.

Our city is going ahead wonderfully and made some good strides under the,present regime. There are still many improvements that can be made, and „the" citizens who have the votes to cast should use some foresight, and not fall into the backward way of' regulating the affairs of tlio council; We say the citizens, because it ■ comes back to thorn, -unlosi- they get the right men to represent them ih the,.council in upholding the matters of vital-interest that, come up in connection with the,, civic administration. Ms have the advantage of many of the.older cities aiid towns, in- as much as we can benefit by their failures, and gain by their experience. But this cannot be accomplished if we get a council that is one-sided, and have but one aim nnd object—money—at no matter what cost. Citizens, watch well for whom you cast your votes, and thereby rid" the city of many things that now tend to keep it back in some respects. o CIVIC ELECTIONS As ..we go-to press we have it on good authority" that there will be no election contest for the • civic honors this year, and possibly it, is well that such is the case. These elections always stir up old sores, and some one is waitingjfor •j» fa PER NIK'S GROWTH Fernie is rapidly forging ahead. You do not need to go far to observe that fact. Already we hear of four or five blocks that will be started early in the spring. We aro handicapped at present by the want of these blocks. There aro no vacant Btores, no empty offices, and no housos to be had. Many families aro waiting and watching for somo place to start housekeeping, and houses aro tho flrot thing that ought to bo 'Aiilt. 0-f.".c3" are in demand, and stores lu',"* ut ii premium. There is a grout field i'or some enterprlfring person who has tho "noccBSpIy" to put up a dozen or so of small houses or cotta-jec. It would be a regular harvest for tho speculator and help iho city.

What better the *• opportunity to get even. With* no opposition these petty feelings- are lost sight of, and everyone feels glad that the, j ."trouble" is all over. Coming so soon after the holiday season, , when one's hands' are hardly cold ■ from the warm and hearty handshake, we often wonder why it is that the old hatchet is dug 'up, and good citizens pass by on the opposite side of the street with never a look at their former ac- quaintences, and it is months in many cases, before they get back .to the old friendship. When a ticket like the following is presented to the' electors of Pernie, we can see no valid reason for an election, and elections cost money. Here is the ticket; For Mayor, Aid. W. W. Tuttle; for Aldermen, Aid. J. I». Quail, M-issi-s. Fred. Vance, F. J, Watson, Fred. Johnson, It, Hamilton,' and In passing, wo believe that the retiring council had the confidence of tho city of Fernie, and were' waited on at different times personally to stand for another year but with no avail, all retiring with tho exception of Aldermen Tuttle and, Quail, and these two gentlemen will be of great assistance to tho other new men who are about to take the responsibility of answering for Fer-die's ship of state for 1008.

ORDER OP The industrial depression that is now upon us is going to test the loyalty of the membership oi ° many trade unions. A trade union is powerless when its members cannot find employment. The-pre- ' sent state of affairs should open the eyes of all trade unionists to their:utter helplessness under the present economic system. Under the rule of Capitalism, labor is mercilessly exploited when times are good and left on the scrap heap to starve, and die, when times are bad.. . ,* * - * HOLD Yorn JOB We are informed that owing to the reduced orders for coal a number of miners may bo laid off at Coal Creek, It is the intention of tho management to take care *of as many of the' men with I families as possible. Considerable alterations in, tho methods of working aro contemplated, which when carried out will mean increased profits for the Company, and better wages for tho miners. Wo fear that this winter will bo a bad one for the workers in many camps. Every man that has a job had better hold on to it at present, ■ ■ ■—*o COAL LEASES .Balance $ 183 30 The Society wishes to draw attention to. the fact that the loan which was given in Dec. 1906 for the transportation of a sick woman to England has been repaid.

I have,; been in Canada now for a considerable ( jfeime, and know a good deal of the place, 'being connected with tho police force .. .and tho detective department.'

Why, I contend'that- Montreal is one of tlio best places in Canada for work; Take, for instance, the Cmia- . dian Pacific Kail way works, which alone iu this eity employ about 9,000-men of all trades.

Thero labor conditions are worse than in England,tand I am, speaking from - experience, liot from a flying1 vieit. - Then Mr. Lea says that the cost of . food Is much the same. ' I assure you ^tha-cost-r-is-Bbtfthe-^ame.—Here-ybur * must pay"$4.75 per week for board and lodgingv*which is equal to 19s. 9Jd. iii English 'money. I had far superior lodgings in an English town for 12s. per week. Mr. Lea also says tbat clothing is as cheap as at home. I can only say that at present I am wearing a suit which cost $87—£7 14e. 2d. in English money—whereas I had a far superior 6iilt in Carli-lo (Cumberland) for £8 83. I think Mr. Lea must have paraded the most swell parts of tho city, as he . did not see any ragged women or children. He should accompany mo for juet ono''day on my rounds. I could show him some ragged human beings and Bomb low-toned characters.,,But perhaps ho put up at tho best'hotels. He could scarcely oxpect to see rasrged women or children there. I write becauso I think Mr.' Lea's statements have a tendency to decolvo intending immigrants. I know what Western -Canada ie.; I havo travelled it too often not to know.

General Manager James Mason has devoted himself somewhat exclusively to banking affairs. He is, however, personally identified with! some outside corporations, particularly the Manufacturers' Life, and the Crows Nest Pass Coal Company, being a member of the Directorate of these concerns., A To the public; the j general manager of the Home Bank of Can- ada ia best known through his association with tho Canadian Mili- 'ti'a< He nbpr.. anks/ai*Uwt»n_irit*r* colonel, and has seen active Mr- vice in the Bell EebelHoh fa 1885.

Dr. I-I. C. Jennings 1 will cor.ie to Canton he will find 1 a doctor's union here, and' if he ! happens tb need one of them to J go outside of the city limits he ; must have five'dr ten dollars to i I -' pay iii advance or no doctor. ' Also the Rev. Dr. W. P. Cale . cf Cincinnatti of St. Paul's church .' in the opening address \vas equal- ;.ly emphatic in his views. He says 1 there are tv/o bides, to the ques-' ; tion. ' We are aware of that and ; the working man must be recog- . nized, for we are the producers of ! all the nation's'wealth. f * Now, Dr. Cale is wrong when he thinks that the working man does not want to go to church. But when he does go, he and his are tors and their wives', and the up- made fun of by some of the doc-, per ten, so the poor working, man feels that he is not wanted at.the- .church with hisApoor_halfr_clad, family, and he does not go again. Now, the Rev. Dr. W.;D.'Cale says that' the working, man spends about . one thousand dollars a year in saloons. I want to say right here that he is wrong. The average miner does,not make over four hundred dollars a year, and we have the great P. & O. plow shops here in Canton, and there are - men that have worked there for thirty-five years and are paid 91.35 per day for ten hours labor. Now they have cut the wages to 91.08 per day of eight hours. Where could a man spend one thousand dollars a yoar on such a wage and feed Betty and those little ones, pay $7 to ?10 per month house rent and contribute to the church or even look at a saloon sirn? : Tlie Bev. Dr. W. D. Calo must pay high wages in his book concern or his men would not have one thousand dollars a year to spend-in saloons and he very likely belongs to the book and paper trust, aa books for the. schools are out of sight here, and'Bibles cost from ten to. tv/enty dollars,' which,puts them out of.the reach of- the po'or laboring man, for he cannot buy when he has no .money to'fcuyi-wifrho 7T'* .■■>> ".J.

She scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives it a sun bath to sweeten It. She knows that if her churn is sour it will taint tlie butter that is made in it. Tho stomach is a churn. In the stomach and digestive and 'nutritive tracts are performed processes which aro almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is It not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into it? The evil of a foul stomach is not alone the bad taste in the- mouth and the foul breath caused by it, bat the corruption of the pure current of blood and tho dissemination of dtecaso throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, makes the sour and foul stomach sweet -Itdoes for tho storaaehwhatthe washing- and snn bath do for the churn—absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting element* In this way It cores blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood.

The Calgary Daily Albertan of December 13th, says' To say that Sanford Dodge and his clever company of clever artists more than surpassed themselves ia their interpretation ol Shakespeare's groat love tragedy, "Borneo and Juliet," at the Lyric theatre last night would not be half express- ing the opinion of the large audience which thronged the' popular play house. , As Borneo, Sanford Dodge waa perfection, while Miss Louise Mar* shall as Juliet deserves the highest eoonlums that can be be- storved upon her, Throughout this/ strong play, without one singletexception, they bell their audience entranced. This was especially noticeable in the balcony scene in Act IX, and in the Tomb scone in Act VII. So noticeable was it at the conclusion of the latter- scene, which* marks the closing of the play, that it was «nnr*>ri.f «»i»rtflrt« hi»for« **h* roofil* tealised that the show was* over so completely were tbey cuJiied away^; The scenery and costumes eie also worthy of special mm tion, and enough cannot be said of the brilliant way in which the principal characters are backed up by the other members of the [cast. Sanford Dodge has made Shakespearian plays so popular in Calgary that future theatrical seasons will not seem complete unless he and his clever company are numbered amonc- the attractions. Manager Willis deserves thn hljf'hMt pr-nise for bringing such talented artiots ant! such high class plays to Calgary, To be presented at the Opera house on Thursday next, January 10.
