The old rugged morality of Protestant Germany, seems entirely gone and in its place has come,a diplomacy worthy of Richelieu's palmUest days and a conduct, tat least in war vying' with the'Spaniards of the sixteenth century. There is a reason. We content ourselves now; with giving one more concrete example of their lapse: ' > _ - Frederic W.

They came and they saw. Whether they conquered remains to be seen. Doors, at any rate, were flung wide open to them. There was even some speechmaking. The fact that the utmost possible care was exercised that the lynx-eyed Dr. Ehrensberger and Herr von Bulow did not see too much does not alter the underlying gravity of the visit itself. At the time Birkenhead, Barrow-in-Furness, Glasgow, NewQaBtleTOn-Tyne, and Sheffield thought it passing strange that Herr Krupp von Bohlen should suddenly desire to look us over.

THE WESTERN CALL Friday September, 111914 ��������������� "NECESSITY KNOWS NO LAW" German Chancellor's Excuse for a Wrong Only now is available the -text of the German Chancelor's speech on the eve of the declaration of war by Great Britain. Speaking in the Reichstag on August 4, Herr ,-on Beth- mann-Hollweg said: "We are now in a state of necessity and necessity knows no law! Our troops have occupied Luxemburg, and perhaps are already on Belgian soil. That is contrary to the dictates of international law. It is true that- the French government has declared at Brussels that France is willing to respect the neutrality of Belgium as long as her opponent respects it. "The wrong���������I speak openly-Uhat we are committing we will endeavor to make good as soon as our military goal has been reached. Anybody who is threatened, as we are threatened, and is fighting for his highest possession can have only one thought���������how he is to hack his way through." Trance could wait, but we could not wait. A French movement upon oar flank upon the lower Rhine might ha\e been disasterous. So we were rompellcl to override the just protest of the Luxemburg and Fclgian governments. i t t Ta 1914 *******^mi*****************< **********H**************.&<*.^^^^ A 8TRAWBERRY PE8T.

At this time when the whole of Europe is at war and Canada is feeling serious effects of the same through the stopping bf money for the carrying out of public works, etc., and the consequent closing down of factories and the natural increase in the number of unemployed, it is necessary for the people to seriously consider the best method of making both ends meet and at the same time endeavoring to keep as many employed as possible. The ladies of the household can do a great deal at this time towards this object. They spend fully eighty per cent of the wages earned per week on household goods, clothing, etc., and if instead of buying goods that are made in the States or outside of the Province they would make up their minds to buy nothing but British Columbia goods they themselves would be astonished at the results. They simply want to consider that every dollar they spend on British Columbia goods would mean probable work for one man for one hour per day, whereas if they buy goods from the Eastern Provinces, United States, or other points, about twenty per cent, of that dollar stays in town, the balance goes out and never returns. A number of relief committees have been formed to handle funds collected by public subscription for the dependents of those who have gone to the front, and it cannot be too strongly impressed on those committees that the money gathered for this purpose cannot be better spent than by buying the local products and by so doing keeping a number of those dependents employed and therefore relieve the refief fund to that extent. There are all kinds of goods, manufactured locally j suitable for daily consumption and for wearing purposes. One factory in town at the present time manufacturing woolen goods has closed down for the first time in five years, and has placed, .much against'their will, 50 hands out of employment; this means ,50 families that have got to be provided for somehow by the public. There is no doubt the relief societies and a number of ladies privately are doing, and will do a lot to relieve the situation, but it must be remembered that the people of British Columbia are immigrants from Great Britain or have come from the Eastern counties of the United States, and the very fact of them having to accept charity' is repugnant to them. They would much rather be in a position, to. earn sufficient,.to keep themselves by honest work. If, the- people of British Columbia would .insist on British Columbia goods, all the factories manufacturing food stuffs and the allied industries would be running full time, giving employment to thousands of people, and no call would be necessary on the general public in the way of donations. The general public should also take an interest in the expenditure of the city, the government and all public bodies, and see that all material-required by them is purchased locally. It is the public money in most cases that is paying for this work, and it should be spent where it will do the most good to the public, and. this can only be done by the general circulation of the money received by the local industries and merchants. No matter what business a man may be in, some of this money' will come to him through the general circulation. In regard to relief committees, the method of handling will probably be by order placed on a store, and it should be the duty of the members of these committees to see that the stores at which they place those orders stock and make a feature of selling local products. The quality of the local goods is equal if not better than the imported goods as it must be remembered that although the.price is the iame the imported goods have to bear freight charges, insurance charges, cartage, etc., which means that the local product has that amount of difference to put into the workmanship; therefore, the goods are better quality.

Here we have a striking example of what might be termed "Intensive" business.. Two things impress the observer whose eyes are trained to see things as they are, First The capacity of the store is inadequate to the large stock of Jewelry and the volume of business; Second This inconvenience Is not only overcome by the skilful arrangement of the contents, but is made to contribute to the general effect and the pleasure ot the visitor. Upon examination a third fact will soon appear, viz.: that extraordinary carte has been exercised in the buying of the stock so that the space might he devoted to goods of quality rftther than cheap goods of quantity.

A VALUABLE PRIZE A dispatch from Amsterdam says that the Germans are preparing to reopen immediately the great John Cockerill engineering works at Ser- aing, near Liege. These factories, covering 375 acres of ground, were one of the first prizes of the war. The whole concern has been taken over by the Prussian war office which has offered the Belgian workmen 50 per cent, increase in wages to remain at their places. , The Cockerill works are amongst the important engineering shops of the world. Pounded about 100 years ago by an Englishman, John Cockerill, they have maintained their standing amidst the ever increasing competition of great capitalizations. John Cockerill was a virile Protestant, settled in a population entirely Boman Catholic. He "made himself very much beloved, treating, his : .people as a great family. Hi* militant Protestantism found vent in.large scripture texts which decorated the wall* of the dining rooms and which were still there 50 years ������go, long after his death. . The Cockerill works were the pioneers Jn oil burners, and 40 odd years ago, whenoilyburners were unheard of elsewhere Seraing was constructing a fleet of steamers for the Caspian w*. , T The possession of this enormous factory, if the ; Belgians will go to work, will be of the greatest J Importance to Germany. Together with Mons and Charleroi they constitute an equipment for turn- .' ing out all that a nation fighting on land requires * unsurpassed in the world. The Germans seem to bave no doubt of ultimate, victory. 4 GOOD TWiQW The Westminster Gazette, London, England, contains the following letter:��������� - "Sir:- -Very thankfully-do I-confirm-the ex- - perience of 4S. J3.' As a German teacher left penniless in London at the outbreak of the war, nothing has more touched my heart than the kindness of British families who have offered me an asylum and supplied me with financial assistance. My father is fighting in the cavalry, my uncle in the navy, two of my brothers in the artillery and engineers, and my mother is nurse in a military hospital. Yet J am treated in the home of an English barrister exactly as one of his own daughters and made to feel the greatness and the magnanimity of the character of the nation at war, alas! with us, yet not with, our people, if a paradox in pharse may be permitted. Yours gratefully, "Anna Gemmerich. "August 7." We believe that the treatment described in this letter is typical of the attitude of British people all over the Empire. They are at war with a system, not with a race, and this has been true of Britain also in the past." During the wars with France and Spain, history records the fearful treatment of British prisoners accorded especially by Spain, and yet in England, how different the treatment accorded to the-Spaniard. Kingsley in "Westward Ho," paints the difference and we have many families in our midst who today attest the fact. A NARROW ESCAPE The complete censorship of the press���������as far as war news is concerned���������has given rise to many stories that remain unconfirmed and uncontradicted. One is that early in July Winston Churchill stated to the Cabinet that he "held the German fleet in the hollow of his hand and could destroy it in 24 hours, and proposed with the Cabinet's permission to issue orders to do so. The argument was that Germany was then, as they'well knew, preparing for immediate wary and that she Would give no notice but strike when she got ready, and that the opportunity of the German navy's presence in the North, Sea might not soon occur again. As the story goes a vote was taken and stood 8 for 11 against. THE WAR DAY BY DAY (Continued from Page 1) "Strong as the British navy is today, there will be an accession of strength within the next twelve months of ten first-class ships, fifteen cruisers and twenty destroyers, thus still further increasing ' the margin of naval supremacy in ships of all classes over Germany, who, during the same period, will add not more than a third of this number to her fleet. , "The prices of commodities have risen very little. There is only a small amount of unemployment. The financial situation is satisfactory. The British and French armies in France have fought a series of hotly contested engagements in which they have inflicted on the enemy losses immensely greater than they have suffered. Their fighting strength is unimpaired. In response to the call of the government, 300,000 fresh recruits have joined the British army. "Many new divisions are already in process of organization and the number of recruits now enlisting each day is equal to one divisiion and a half. "The whole Empire is absolutely united and firmly resolved to carry the war to successful issue." Telegram received by the British Embassy here from the Foreign office in London:-��������� London, Sept. 7.���������A dispatch to the Times from Ostend reports that arrivals from Brussels;, state that many of the landsturm troops drilling daily are men with white hair; which the correspondent says shows that Germany called out every man able to bear a rifle. Similar statements are made by those who have seen German soldiers proceeding north to Antwerp. The Germans have placed siege guns around Brussels.'; These are of heavy calibre and are sunk in concrete. "I learn from a sure source," the Times correspondent continues, "that Emperor William was at Brussels Wednesday evening, staying at the Hotel Believue the same night. He appointed Gen. von Luttwitz governor of Belgium. Crown Prince Frederick William gave a banquet at the Royal palace at Laaken Wednesday evening." Sept. 8, Washington.���������President Wilson today signed a proclamation culling on the people of the United States to pray for peace in Europe. London.���������The Bussian military authorities have decided not to 'call to the colors the reservists of that country now abroad, according to an announcement made today by the Bussian embassy. All the reservists will be permitted, however, to enroll in the ranks of any of the allied armies. London.���������Servians have begun the invasion of Bosnia from' the, north.

The reply given is said tonave been: "We grant you that time Jo get out of France." London;���������Tbe greatest battle of. modern history is still raging along the whole line of 160 miles, roughly speaking, from Paris to Verdun. It is reported that0 both the Russians via Archangel and the Indian contingent have reached the front, and are now fighting witfo the Allies. Hopes of the final outcome of this great battle now run extremely high at both French and British headquarters. ' 1 Loudon.���������It is officially stated tonight that "The general position continues satisfactory. The Allies are gaining ground on their left all along the line. The British have driven the enemy back ,ten miles;" " t_ "' The result of two "days'operations up tothe- present is very satisfactory. London:���������Canada is urged by the Paily Telegraph to- appropriate $35,000,000 for tbe navy. The German Reichstag have given the admiralty a blank cheque for the pushing of naval-construction to the utmost. Sept. 9, Berlin.���������(By wireless)���������Official announcement was; made today at army headquarters that the French fortress of Maubeuge on the Sambre river had fallen and that 40,000 prisoners, including four generals and 400 guns, had been captured. PRICKING THE QERMAI^ BUBBLE " We hear and read much about the vast German dye trade. Rightly so. The products of the German dye. factories have been an important factor in the world's commerce. They enter largely into' the manufacture of all colored fabrics. ' ���������' '.������������������ ���������'* It has suited the world to allow Germany to supply its industries with dye stuffs, but the war will end this condition. Each country will in future be independent of Germany's Dye Works, and manufacture its own requirements. ' _ . . England was the original field (in modern times) for dye experiments, and an Englishman discovered that dyes could be made from coal tar.. In 1856, Sir William Henry Perkin'l invented and prepared for the world the first aniline dye, namely the purple coloring matter, mauve. , The discovery of other brilliant aniline dye stuffs followed in rapid succession. As a result of Germany declaring war on Great Britain, the latter will cancel all German patents. ���������:- 'The ^United States will build ai), number of large dye factories, _o that ���������jn a short time this continent will be independent of Germany in this regard. , Many of the colored fabrics, heretofore imported from European countries, will be made in Canada.' Sir William Henry Perkin, the famous English chemist, was born in London on the 12th of March, 1838. Attending the City of London school, he devoted all his spare time to chemistry, and on leaving in 1853; entered the Royal College of Chemistry. " ��������� ".���������'-��������� ", ' '������������������. In the attempt to produce quinine artificially he was unsuccessful, but the observations he made in the course of his experiments induced him early in 1856 to try the effect of treating aniline sulphate with bichromate of potash. The result was a precipitate, aniline black, from which he. obtained the coloring .matter subsequently, known as aniline blue or mauve. He lost no time in bringing this substance before the managers of Pullar's dye works, Perth, and -they expressed a favorable opinion of it. Thus encouraged, he took out a atent for his process, and leaving the ollege of Chemistry, a boy of 18, he roceeded, with the aid of his father nd brother, to erect works at Green-- rd, -near Harrow; for the manufacture of-the newly discovered coloring- matter and by the end of 1857 the works were in operation. \ That date may therefore be reckoned as that of the foundation of the Coiri Tar color industry, whiich has : since.attained such important dimen- V sionis. ��������� ������������������ ' Perkin also had a large share in the introduction of artificial alizarin, the red dye of the madder root. C. Graebe and C. T. Liebermann in 1868 prepared that substance syn- thetially from anthracene, but their ; process! was not practicable'���������- on a, large scale, and it was left to Dr. Perkin to patent a method that was commercially valuable. This he did.in 1869, thus securing for the Greenford Green works a monopoly of alizarin manufacture for several years. POLICEMAN X--A WEIRD POEM Above is the title of a poem written by John Oxeriham in 1898 and published last year by Dent & Sons in a little volume of verse entitled "Bees in Amber." The book has already had a large sale, being now in its sixth edition. tinues in words have confirmed: that recent history Thou art the one and so I come to thee. For Peace or War the scales are in thy hand, As thou decidest now, so shall it be. Perhaps "Policeman X" has much to do with this success as it is certain-1 ly appropriate to present day condi-j Then wmiam of Germany sees re_ lons" vealed before him visions of future The poem is too long to quote in,war.

The mighty War Lord shakes his head amazed. Then the Prince of Peace addresses him in these words: \ " -;��������� i - / Shall it be Peace or War? Milions of lives . ' Are in thy hand; women and men and y those0 My little ones. Their souls are mine. Their lives Are in thy hand. Of tbee I shall require them.

To the Fourth Clhur- kar Rifles, of whom the Premier of Nepal is honourary officer, the Premier has off ered 300,- 000 rupees for the purchase of machine guns in the event of their going on service. Tibetans Offer Troops. "The Dalai Lama of Tibet has offered 1,000 Tibetan troops for service under the British Government'. His Holiness also states that Lamas innumerable throughout the length and breadth of Tibet are offering prayers for the success of the British arms arid for the happiness of the souls of all the victims of the war. The same spirit has prevailed throughout ail British India. Hundreds of telegrams and letters have been received by the Viceroy expressing loyalty and a desire to serve the government either in the field or by co-operation in-India. Mr. Roberts added that innumerable offers are made by chiefs who happen at present to be in Europe. TheVGaekwar of-Baroda and. the Maharajah of B har at, to name two only, had placed the whole resources of their states at the disposal .of His Majesty's Government. The Indian community in England, including1 Indian students, had made loyal offers of their services. Mr. Roberts concluded: "I feel confident that the House and the country will feel a deep appreciation of this magnificent demonstration of loyalty with which the princes and the people of India have identified themselves, with the cause of the Empire."!1 This is surely a sufficient reply to the Kaiser's threat of stirring up strife for Britain in India, Egypt andPersia. , -V- Ottawa.--An order-in-council of vital interest to Vancouver was passed by the cabinet Saturday;' approving the contract for a subsidy for the Amalgamated Engineering Works, Ltd., of British Columbia, for the construction of modern drydocks at Vancouver, to cost $6,500,000. The financing was completed in London before the war broke out, so that as soon as a few details are completed, work on the prospect can be started. Credit for the cabinet's deciding to put through this important contract at -this, jucture is given to Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P. for Vancouver, who has been pressing the matter with all his energy during the past few weeks. Hon. Robert Rogers, minister of public works, has shown the greatest interest in the. project and has heartily co-operated with Mr. Stevens. ���������*"���������_/; The report of the engineer, who has been investigating, provides for a firstrdass modern dry- dock at Vancouver, capable of handling the largest ocean steamers or British warships. The dry- dock will be 1150 feet long and 100 feet wide <and capable of being divided into two sections, one 650 feet long and the other 500 feet. The sub:' sidy will guarantee interest on $5,500,000, the maximum allowed under the drydocks subsidy act, at 4 per cent, for 35 years. The Right Rev. W.L.

THE METHOD OF THE ZEPPELIN London.���������The method used by /_e_>pelin airships in d topiary foonivs has been' described as follows by an English refugee who has just arrived here from Belgium. "The dirigible hovers over its object, at sufficient altitude to keep it out of the range of the enemy's guns. At the same time it lowers a steel cage attached to a steel wire rope 2,000 or 3,000 feet long. This cage is divided into compartments, and it carries one man whose duty it is to thow down the bombs. The cage is sufficiently strong to make rifle fire against it ineffective, and because of its small size and the fact that it is kept constantly in motion it is very difficult for heavy guns to hit it." ������������������������������������...������..������.. ������.. *���������*,*,���������*;���������*:*���������:*,������,*.,. ,a*,* ������.*<*<*���������<t*/.������ * a * A* ****** A * i.# <��������� - * * l CHOICE NEW HAY POR SALE ���������AT ��������� F.

BREF TILL CANADA KURIREN. . Jag finner mig nodsakad att an en gang bedja om en liten plats i Eder tidning. Jag ser att Silverhillborna vilja hora nagot om en barnfest, som hoQs har den 9 juli. . For det' forsta far jag omtala att da jag insande brefvet till den d&varande Svenska. Canada Kuriren, det bJade aldrig varit fraga om nfiigon barnfest. Och for det andra var det ingenting sarskilt att tala om. Vi voro endast 14 personer, daribland 8 barn. Det, som Ni kanhanda vill att jag skall namna, var att ingen fr&n Silver- hill kom ned till oss. Men vi hade lika roligt for det., Vi hade be- sokande har anda fran Buskin. Angaende de moten ni namner, sa minnes jag att pa det forsta motet var det en Hillbo, som fra- gade huru lang en dag var d& Gud skapade himmel och jord. Icke viste jag att den fr&gan stall- des till mig, och icke besvarade jag den heller. P& det andra motet blef jag af Mr. Clas Swanson tillfragad, huru lange det skulle droja innan jag kunde gifva honom title pa det property, han kopt. Och jag svtarade, att title kan jag ej gifva, utan den bar Ni att f& pa landregisteringskonto ret i Westminster, nar Jlder tur kommer. Och sa f&r jag bedja Eder Sil verhillbor att nasta gang Ni skrif- ver, sa. sag tydligt pa ren svenska hvad Ni vill hafva sagt. Ty jag forstar mig icke pa halfva menin- gar, vittsar och frammande ord.

The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, often referred to unofficially as the Dual Monarchy,; consist* of two separate and indepen- ' dent states. Each has its own parliament and its own government with a head common to both, bearing the title of Emperor of Austria and Apostolic King of Hungary. Certain affairs" affecting both halves of the Monarchy are administered in common. These comprise foreign ] affairs, the army and navy and finance, in so far as it concerns joint expenditure. , The Monarchy is bounded on the east by Russia; on the south by Roumania, Servia and Montenegro ; on the west by the Adriatic' Sea, Italy, Switzerland and the German Empire and Russia. Its area, not including the principalities of Bosnia and Herzegovina; is 299,977 square miles, being one-sixteenth of the> whole of Europe. Bosnia and Herzegovina; which were annexed in 1908, have an area, of 19,602 sq. miles, and a population of 1,591,000. ~ " There is a large oversea emigration which gotes mostly to the United States. In 1906, 169,202 - people left Hungary, partly on - account of -the poverty of the masses, and partly on account of resentment of subject races at the domination of the Magyars. In Austria, the three principal races of Europe are all represented���������Teutonic, Slavonic and the Latin. The Slavonic race is numerically the principal, but it is divided into a number of peoples, separated from each other, and differing in language, religion1, traditions' and customs, and the race does not possess a national unity. The Germans constitute the most numerous nationality, and play the principal role in the political life of the country. > Hungary also is inhabited by a complex population. The Magyars, who occupy almost exclusively the fertile central plain, are the most numerous and the dominant <race. Around them other races are located in groups. The bulk of. the Austro-Hun- garian foreign trade is with the German Empire, the proportion being 40 per cent, of the imports and 60 per cent, of the exports. Next in importance comes Great Britain, and then India, Italy, the United States, Russia, France, Switzerland and South America in about the order named. The principal imports are cotton and cotton goods, wool and woollen Yon Can; Save Money By Using , TANGO STREET CAR TICKETS , Eight 1���������T 25 Cents THIS IS HOW iT W0RKS OUT 32 Bides at a 5 cent Ux* >16p 32 Bides on TangoTickets $1.00 Your,Saving on . $T Investment 60c NOW ON SAfcE ON: ADL B.

The principal exports are wood, sugar, cattle, glassware, iron and ironware, eggs, cereals, millinery and fancy goods, earthenware and pottery, and leather goods. Austria is a country about twice the size of England and Wales, and, after Switzerland, the ifiost mountainous country in Europe. Only 25 per cent, of the area is occupied by plains, of which the largest .is the extension of the great Russian plain which constitutes the major part of the province of Galicia. Along the principal rivers there are plains of more or less magnitude possessing very fertile soil. The highlands of Austria form part of the great watershed of Europe, which divides the waters flowing into the North Sea and the Baltic from those flowing into the Mediterranean or the Black Sea, The principal rivers flowing through its territory are the Danube, Dneister, -, Vistula, Oder, Elbe. The Rhine fldws only for a short distance through Austria. All the above rivers find their outlets to the sea in other countries, while the Danube also has its source in another .country. Rising in the Black Forest in Germany, the Danube flows eastward by a very meandering .course, 1,800 miles long, into the Black Sea. Vienna, Budapest and Belgrade are upon its banks, and by means of many tributaries it drains southern" Germany, f large portions of AustriarHungary, Servia, Bulgaria, and Roumania. Few rivers in the world carry a greater commerce than the Danube or have played so important a part in history. , The climate of Austria varies greatly on account of the differences in elevation of its surface. Along the Adriatic, the winters are short and the seasons equable, and in the winter time snow seldom falls. The vine and corn are everywhere cultivated; * ^as well as the o'live and other products of the south. In the'central zone the winters- are more severe and' the summers hotter. The vine - and corn are cultivated in favorable locations, and ��������� wheat and other grains are .generally grown. The northern zone comprises, Bohemia, N. Moravia. Sil esia and Galicia. There -the winters are long and cold, and the principal cropa are wheat, bar ley, oats, rye, hemp and flax. The rainfall averages 20 to 24 inches, but in the vicinity of the Alps, it sometimes exceeds 60 inches. The forests of Austria consti tute one'of the great sources of wealth, occupying over one-third of the-whole productive area. Tall coniferous, forests predominate Forestry is carried on in a thoroughly scientific manner. Austria is exceedingly rich in minerals, possessing every useful metal except platinum. There are also salt, petroleum, marble, roofing-slate, porcelain earth, potter's clay, precious stones, and tbe precious metals. Iron of excellent quality is extracted in large quantities. The output of the coal mines was in 1900, 32,- 500,000 tons. In"1902rl56,000 persons were employed in mining, smelting and in the extraction of salt. ' ��������� The country is provided, with an extensive network of railways, and industrial section being specially favored. They have a total length of 13,600 miles, all being state operated and for the most part state owned. Austria's coast line on the Adriatic is only about a thousand miles in extent. It is indented with many bays and safe harbors, and there are numerous ports, including Trieste and Pola, the The productive land of Austria covers over ninety per cent, of the total divided about as follows: Arable land, 37.6 per cent., woodland, 34.6 per cent., pasture and meadow, 25.2 per cent., the balance1 'being divided between garden, vineyards and undrained land. The principal products are wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, potatoes, and sugar beets. Next come buckwheat, rape, hemp, flax chicory, tobacco and hops. In the north, in Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Galicia, much land has been diverted-from wheat growing to the cultivation of sugar beets. The growth and manufacture of tobacco is a government monopoly. The quantity of cereals raised is not entirely sufficient for home requirements, and large amounts of wheat and corn are imported from Hungary. Barley and oats are exported: Austria is distinguished for the superiority of its horses. For their improvement, numerous studs exist all over the country. As a cattle rearing country it is not remarkable. In the Alpine foothill region of Upper Austria cattle breeding and dairy farming have attained a great degree of development. The* manufacturing industries of Austria have their greatest development in the basin of the Danube, and in the country extending northward to the German border. This territory comprises the provinces of Lower'Austria, Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Lower Austria,, of which the city of Vienna is the centre, is the most densely populated province, and the inhabitants are almost exclusively of German stock. The following are the principal branches of industry carried on in northern Austria: textiles, including cottons, woollens, silk, flax and hemp, iron and steel manufacturing, flour, milling, brewing and distilling, leather, paper, sugar, glass, porcelain, earthenware, chemicals, scientific surgical and musical instruments. In Galicia, petroleum refining and the manufacture of petroleum products are important. Glass making, for which Bohemia is celebrated, is one of Austria's oldest industries, and.other districts are noted for porcelain and earthenware. The manufacture of wooden articles is widespread and varied. The coarser kinds of woollen and linen goods' 'are made in the people's homes all over the country, and in certain sections, toys, embroidery' and lace are house industries. Vienna in Lower Austria and Prague in Bohemia are the leading industrial cities. Vienna is a centre for _theiproduction of_ the following: Silk goods, shawls, machinery, railway rolling stock, scientific and musical instruments boots and shoes, furniture, gloves, chemicals, buttons, and also for Bonnie's Seeds and All Kinds of Seed Potatoes Delta Grain and Feed Store 1647 Main Street Our Specialty, Potatoes and All Kinds, of Vegetables -" Free City Delivery Phone: Fairmont 2144. , Vancouver, B.

Prague is an 'important producer of railway rolling stock, machinery, musical instruments, boots and gloves. In 1900, r Austria's manufacturing industries gave employment to .3,138,000 persons. Including families and domestic servants, 7,000,000 were dependent on industry for their livelihood. . . Bnngary Hungary is composed of extensive central plains surrounded by high mountains, the heavily-wooded Carpathians and the< Trans- ylvanian Alps. These" plains cover an area of. 43,000 square miles out of- a. total area of 125,402 sq. miles. The' central plains are intersected by the rivers Danube, and Theiss, and the soil is in general very rich and productive. * The franchise of Hungary is said to be the most illiberal in Europe, being enjoyed by only 6 per cent. of. tbe population. The _working-classes ate wholly unrepresented in parliament. The Jews monopolize a large portion* of the country's trade. They are, with the Germans, the chief employers of labor, and control not only the finances, but to a great extent the government and press of the country. The soil, owing to the improvidence of the landowners and the poverty of the peasants is gradually passing into their hands. The Hungarian climate is cold in winter and hot in summer. In the Carpathian Highlands., the winters are long and severe, while in the summer the central .plains are almost tropical. There during the hot months it rains but seldom and droughts are not infrequent. In the mountains the rainfall is heavier. In Hunyar, agriculture is preeminent. Nearly 96 per" cent, of the total population derive their income from agriculture, forestry, horticulture and allied pursuits. The progress of agriculture has been marked bf recent years. Not only has more land been brought under cultivation, but agricultural methods have been improved through more intensive cultivation, the use of the most modern implements, and the application of scientific knowledge. Owing to its wide stretches of pasture land, Hungary is admirably suited for cattle and sheep raising. Sheep are not raised as extensively as cattle,. and are tending rapidly to decrease. Pigs are reared dn large, numbers all over the country. Horse-breeding is an important branch of stock- raising, large numbers of horses being exported annually to Germany, Austria, Italy and France. English stock has been imported by the government to improve the breed, and state studs supported by parliamentary grants, have been established. Similar, care h-as been bestowed in improving the breed of horned cattle. , The export trade in cattle is considerable. Pigs .are exported' almost exclusively to Austria. Sheep are not exported, but there is a considerable export trade in wool, and also in geese and eggs. Minerals Hungary is'one of the richest countries in Europe as regards both the variety and extent of its" mineral wealth/Among the chief mineral products are coal,, sulphur, alum; soda, saltpetre, iron, lead, copper, zinc, gold, silver, and mercury, and precious stones.- The salt mines are a state monopoly. The value of mining and smelting production amounts to about $25,000,000 and ther number of persons engaged is over 70,000. ,. Manufactures ��������� ' The principal , manufacturing industry of Hungary is flour-milling, and the products form Nthe principal - article of export. In 1905 there were # 1845 mills in operation.Budapest is the centre of the industry, but large mills are established in many towns, and smaller ones throughout the country. Brewing and distilling, the manufacture of sugar from beets, tobacco, and other branches of industry connected with agriculture, have made great development. Transportation In the sparsely populated parts of the kingdom, the high road is still the only means of communication. Elsewhere, the railways are fairly adequate, but lack of means of communication has retarded the development of forest industries and of manufactures to some extent. With only about one hundred miles of sea coast on the Adriatic, Hungary possesses only one important sea-ports, that of Pi- ume, as a direct outlet by sea .for its products.
