This week a letter wis received it th-
Nicnli Hirald office from one John In-
ni nt, mining broker, 714 Desutn buiM
ing, Portland, Oregon. Mr. Lamont
takes offi'iiee tt an article appearing in
The Nicola Herald with reference to the
Nicola Ooal and Coke Company. The
letter is intended to roast, ihe editor, hut
lie can not see it thsr wsy, hu- convinces
the editor that John Lamont is not a distant relative of Ananias, hut a second
edition of that prince.
Lamont claims that "the Nicola Coal
snd Coke company has alwajs endeavor
ed tu pay every man a dollar where a
dollar was earned." Also that ���>sn
money was spent on development work
the past year than all am mots spent on
The Nicola Herald since its inception.
The only work done on the property
which is included in the Nic-ile Coal ami
Coke Coiiiiiany, was done last year hy
oontrad. and appeared to he satisfactory
as a member of the Lamont faintly was in
e'tendsn.e during tha work and made no
objection, but promised that the contrac
tor would receive his money. Money
spent on development the past year. We
would like to know where! Probably

many glaring falsehoods as the last one

lowing about British Columbia {
While the northwestern pro- ���
vinces have had more attention .
from Eastern Canada and the j
outside world during the past i
year it had greater prssperity
relatively to its immediate possibilities than Hritish Columbia.
This huge province,  destined
probably some day to outstrip
all others in wealth   with resources which literally require
millions of people for its development, has at present but a
handful, as it were of people.
It is so rich in products of both
sea and river, valley and mountain���fish   fruit, grain, cattle,
timber, coal and almost all the
minerals, it so lovely a country
for man to live in; and it can
eventually be so self supporting because of its possibilities
in producing varieties of food
and varieties of manufacturers,
that no one can doubt as to the
character cf its industrial future.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has decided to introduce legislation
at the next session of parliament to reserve all the timber
lands under the control of the
Dominion government for the
public domain, except what is
required for settlement. In
that case there will be certain
restrictions as to cutting so
that the forest wealth of the
Dominion may be preserved.
The dominion only owns the
timber in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the unorganized territories, part of Bri-
ish Columbia. In other provinces the lands are owned by
the government.
