There can be no doubt that this revelation proceeds directly from Krupps, as no word of such an invention has hitherto been whispered in Germany. The article completely justifies the Vorwart's .warning that the big firms are fighting for their life against the real public sentiment in favor of an agreement.

Reports that appear from* time. to time regarding the construction of railroads or 'the completion • of the same are again to the fore and among others we note the possibility of the early completion of the Arrowhead & Kootenay, a .branch line of the C. P. R., which at present terminates at Arrowhead. The continuation, of this piece of road along the line .surveyed would mean a great shortening of the distance between the Crow.'s Nest and the Coast, and also effect a considerable saving" of time both in the passenger traffic and in the transportation of freight; this would be the more noticeable in'the freight department, because' of^ the many transfers that are necessary by the existing route. The portions that are needed to make up the connecting link are between Arrowhead and the foot of Trout. Lake. At this place there is a train service from Gerrard to.Lardo of about 34 miles and somewhere in this neighborhood the survey crosses over to the north side of Kootenay lake, along which it runs to Kootenay Landing.. • .

A NEW LIVERY AND \ TRANSFER FIRM FOR CiTY \ We have information from Mr. Barton, formerly of the 'Empress Transfer company and agent for the Canadian Oil company, who oh August 9 purchased lots 5 and 6,' bWk 25, corner of Victoria and Thomson streets, and also -on same date took over the business of the Fernie Cartage company, that he will continue the business but on a large scale in a* few days.* Mr. Barton' intends making many improvements, remodeling and refitting the buildings. Within the next week he will start a livery service consisting of 10 driving horses and a first-class,, complement of buggies in proportion. In spite of the so-called hard times, Mr. Barton is. planning to erect a new concrete, fireproof warehouse on the corner of Victoria and Thomson, frontage on Victoria avenue.

It was Mike, a brother of this unfortunate, who succumbed' a few weeks ago while at work for the same company, spring wheat and flax mostly in the northwestern provinces; with oats and barley in nearly- equal proportions in the, two. regions. Fall wheat is grown chiefly in Ontario,* and its condition for all Canada has been' reduced by a relatively poor crop in Alberta. Compared with the condition at the same time last year, it is S4.63 to * 76.53. Rye is 85.20 in 1910 to Si.8-1 in 1909;* pons is 81.70 to 87, buckwheat 87.64 to 86.15, mixed grains 99.91 to S7.23, beans 84.43 to 84.33, potatoes 81 to 92, hay and clover 90.87 to 73.79. corn for husking 84.30 to 82.S6 and corn for fodder 89.76 to 83. These crops, which are.mainly grown in the East, show a high average of condition, affected only in a slight degree by reports for the West. The average condition of spring wheat is 77 for 1910 to 84.57 for 1909, and of oats 79.57 to 87.78 for all Canada, which is substantially lower than the Averages for the East. In the .three' northwest provinces the condition bf Bpring wheat "if? C:J, of oats 58.62 and of barley 63.60. The estimated yield of fall' wheat in tho country is 18,724,000 bushels, being 26.47 bushels per acre. The hay and clover crop Is estimated at 15,490,000 tons, or 1.80 tons per acre, and of alfalfa 1.92 tons per acre. LABOR DAY.

Mont., Aug. 5. 1910. Editor Mine Workers' Journal: I promised to write' on the ex- ,'plosions occurring in mines generating marsh gas iu my last letter and attempt to show the faulty systems adopted in the operating of those mines. We have read a good deal of late on how. some ignorant workman walked into a body of gas and caused the loss of hundreds' of, our fellow workmen. I will attempt "to show in this letter who are* responsible for the ignorant workman, also responsible for the bodies of standing gas. In any of the mining districts of this "country we will find hundreds of the most practical coal miners out of employment. Yet if we were to meet the emigrant trains arriving in those districts we would find new arrivals from every country on earth, and * -* men that have never seen a coal ' mme and don't, understand one word of the English language, yet they go to work as soon as they arrive,, and the practical American miiier is still out of work. The coal companies knowing tho success of the late arrivals, is the encouraging of more and knowing that the supply and demand in the labor market Is the life of the business encourages tho so- called ignorant emigrant with the strong back and tho weak brain in preference to'the practical American miners. Therefore we find in our midst in the coal mines of this country the so-called ignorant workmen * that the coal companies blame for the 'disasters. Tho coal mines of the world are worked on the most eco- . nomical system known to the man- _ agement, and we find the seams lying at an angle from one to flO degrees. It will bo necessary to take some of ', those angles to illustrate ■ how bo many of those pockets of gas are left standing., So I will take a seam of coal dipping about 30 degrees, and we find for the most economical handling of coal and water that 9'* , per cent of the work is done against the dip:-The main headings are driven direct to the dip, the cross headings at right angles to the main and tho ■ rooms or breasts * at the moss con venient. angle to the cross head ings Thoso rooms, or breasts, are worked against the dip and connected at in tervals of from 40 to CO feet between the,last, connecting and the working face, we arc forced to divine nils, room into'two compartments, one ih- * take and one return for the air. This "is continued- until, thc room approaches the heading above. Then - for the protection of thc cross head- L-« ,\tr nh_-,'n \irzi_ *i vc* fni'_ o/1_Ji*i_l_fi l_-f__n III^—"li W Vf v TT-—UlWj LWI WVU <-l,w *v%A,-v *.*r -solid ■.pillar*' of- coai. This 'room is abandoned. The center bratlish is taken out lo be used in some work- , ing place. Then we find one of,"the pockets of gas that causes the disasters, and In the most-of tho mlnos generating gas in (his country ,we ' find several hundreds that lt is very easy ior .tlie ignorant workmen^ to find this faulty system can be avoided by forcing the company to connect tho room direct to tlie heading above, thoroforo allowing tho g,is to flo wont owing to, its specific gravity._ Then,.we will have eliminated oiie of the causes. Tlie coal companies nro not to blamo bocauso the vein thoy aro operating gives no gas, but thoy are' responsible for allowing UiIh gas to nc- ,'cumulnto nnd enuse thoso disasters, If the causa is by nn Ignorant workmnn or n prnctical miner.

The coal companies in . the United ..States have a good deal harder proposition in handling the seams giving off gas than the operators of Europe. - First, by the class of workmen employed, and second, by the greater amount of ex-1 plosives used in the mines of the United States. The class of workmen could be improved by having laws passed prohibiting the hiring of men at the working face until they.could qualify as practical miners. The amount of explosives used in the mines of the United- States accounts for a majority of the disasters, also for the haphazard way of robbing the coal fields of the United States. There is about 3S.,per cent of the coal in the mines of the southwest left in the ground and is lost for all time. The reasons are,, the, cost would be from 3 to 5 cents per ton additional. , Yet the management will abandon this coal because of the' respect for his reputation as a..cheap coal producer, because for the same reason tho mining laws are disregarded by some of the managers! and if no accidents happen all is well that ends well. His success in defying' the ' laws encourages others to become outlaws in order to save their reputation. I notice we have found a modern way of insuring the death of all persons in a mine where an explosion has occurred if the explorers should discover a fire in, the mine by sealing the mine. 1 have been in charge of the exploring party in a good deal of explosions in • the last 20 years and have' discovered fire's after almost every explosion, yet I am unable to see any reason for this modern way, only as a protection for the explorers, who know it is safer for* them to seal the mine; than take the risk ancl get around the fire. ' Now, it is time the people of this country ought to see that' laws are passed prohibiting the sealing of any mine until all human beings are known to be out.' I have (Studied our rescue hLuLion''problem and don't sec where the present i-oqouo stnHnns".aru of any use. Just imagine a mine explosion occurring '40 miles from "the rescue station.

It, belongs therefore to a prince to understand both, when to make use of the rational and when cf the brutal. A prince who is wise and prudent cannot' or pught not to keep his parole when ,the keeping of it is to his prejudice,' and the causes for which he promised removed." I might instance in many modern examples, and show how many, confederations, and peaces, and promises have been broken by the infidelity of princes, and how he that best personated the fox had the better success. Nevertheless it is of great consequence to disguise your inclination, and .to play the hypocrite well; and men are so simple in their temper and so submissive .to "their present necessities, that he that is neat and cleanly in his collusions shall never want people to practise them upon. * I cannot forbear one example. Alexander VI. never did, nor thought of anything but cheating, and never wanted matter to work upon; and though no man promised a thing with greater asseveration, nor confirmed it with more' oaths .and imprecations and observed them less, yet understanding the world well, he never miscarried. "A prince, therefore, is not obliged to have, all the aforementioned good qualities in reality, but it, is necessary ho have them in appearance; nay, I will be bold to affirm that, having them actually, and employing them upon all occasions, they are extremely • prejudicial, whereas having them only in appearance, they turn to better account; it is honorable to seem mild, and merciful, and coureagous, and religious, and sincere, provided your mind be so rectified and prepared, that you can act quite contrary upon occasion. And this must, be premised, that a prince, especially if come but lately to • the throne, cannot observe all those things exactly which make men esteemed virtuous being oftentimes necessitated, for the preservation of his state, to do things inhuman, uncharitable, and irreligious- and, therefore, it is convenient his mind be at his command, and flexible to all the puffs and variations of fortune; not forbearing to be good whilst it is in his choice,' but knowing how to be evil when there is a necessity.- A prince, then, is to have particular care-that nothing falls from his mouth but what is full of the fivo qualities aforesaid,* and that to see and to tioav.. him he appears all goodness, integrity, humanity, and' religion, which last he ought to pretend more than - ordinarily, 'because more Then the time lost in ex- the blue print before' they arrive, amining can enter the mine leaves little iiope for the entombed.

ALEX M'ALLISTI'tfl. "ROME,' Aug. 20.—While; the \ per-, sonal popularity of King * Victor Emanuel and, Queen Helena of ..Italy is rapidly increasing among tke.labbr- irig classes, whom the young couple have at* last been able. to" convince that" they* take an active Interest" in 'their welfare, the general labor situation in Italy, especially in agricultural districts; is quite alarming. 7 - Some '■. two weeks .ago the laborers of the liomagna rejected proposals of Signor tuzzatti and the Agrarian as*- sociatien, and since then, the situation has rapidly been' approaching a critical point.,' To'Vxplain the grievances of Italian agricultural laborers it is necessary to say a few words about the peculiar .systems in vogue in Italy.* In the Romagna district there prevails the metayer-system of farming, but under two different and-hostile forms. The land is in some cases cultivated by peasants known as "mezzardi"' because they .receive one- half of,the crop, while in others it is entrusted to laborers called "terziar," because ithey_ receive, only one-third. These two . classes representing respectively the, aristocracy and".democracy of,labor belong to different political parties, the former being j.iepublicans.or "yellows" and the latter Socialists or "reds." The landowners are united in the "''Agrarian association. ' . , Threshing Machines. . , When modern threshing machines came into use not so very long ago, the land, owners and a little later the "yellows" -were the first who could afford to buy them, ■ and now the "reds" having become better organ-, ized have also bought machines which they are now seeking* to force "ter- ziari" and "mezzardri" alike to use. The innocent American machines have therefore, now assumed apolitical color and are known as "red" or "yellow" according to -the politics of their owners. The conflict'is then".really ,a struggle between those who , attempt " to create a Socialist monopoly in American threshing machines, and landowners, -who assert that they should be allowed to thresh their grain with whatever machine they choose, but it speaks well for the popularity "of the king that even nmong ,the Socialists, there is an inclination to submit to his arbitration.- GOODS -3.

In Sweden, at least, the clergy were possessed of greater , -riches than, the king and all the other \ estates of the kingdom. They enjoyed : the profits of fines;and' forfeitures, , which formerly belonged to the crown, and -by several foundations and pious legacies, had become, matsers of a considerable number of " the king's manors and flefs.7These prelates, so strong In wealth and vassals, fortified ' and-kept garrisons- in. their castles, 1 and began by degrees to - act like so many little sovereigns. The lordsand gentlemen-aj-^o fortified their castles and made, them the seats -"of "their" petty, empires; they, treated their vassals, "menial : servants."* Though they* allowed them.no wages, ttioy made ; thein till •> their'. landB and Obliged them to take up arms to make Incursions into the territories of their : neighbors. s There were so.few cities in, the kingdom that the:deputies of the merchant and. industrial classes were not much regarded In the national councils. .The,, peasants, the 'most-numerous potent body , in tho state, had the peculiar privilege of 1 sending their own deputies to the estates. Those who lived' In fertile districts' applied themselves to agriculture. Those ln the northern provinces wero mere savages, spending their .time hunting fallow-doer, which gave them meat for their subsistence nnd skins for.,, tho ' king's tributes. . Idolatry was still openly professed ln ■some of tbelr . villages, and Clids- tl'nnlty prevailed In others,' ,but thoir religion was. so disfigured by a mixture of their ancient superstitions, that thoy scarcely retained more of it than tho bare name of Christians. Sweden then wns so torn by In- tornnl wars nnd jonlouslos that tho . principal families rosolved to take' their rulor from ,a foreign source, as 'ho would have no relations or tools ,ln Sweden to support him in- nny tyrannous nets. Accordingly, aftor a seven years' war, tho Swpdcn choae for thoir queen nn ablo woman and a foreigner, Margnrot, tho daughter of tho king of Denmark, and widow of tho king of Norway. By this election, sho wns finally and universally, ncknowlodgod quoon of Swodon, Don- mark, and Norway. But thoro had been so much bloodshed beforo this election hnd been, consummated in ISO5 that an attempt by moans of tho Union of Calmar was mndo lo avoid Btich disputes for tho future, So far from accomplishing cdncord,* this union waB tho cnuso of,thoso bloody wars that kopt Swodon and Donmarlc embroiled for ovor a hundred years. Tho Union of Calmar hnd throo main nrtlclos, First, that tho throo Ulngdorau should bo subjoct to ono king, to bo olectod hy turnn ln onch kingdom. Socond, ho Bhould shnro his prosonco botween tho threo ronlnm nnd, without exporting any monoy rocolvod, should spend tho rovenuo of each kingdom In that snmo kingdom. Third, each kingdom to retain, au beforo, Its lawamnd customs, and that public posts should not be disposed of to foreigners. . •"" 7*7 •' ...Of course, the,queen was no sooner "established in power than she violated the^tei-ms of-the .*anlbn?l*-y favoring Danes . at the expense of Swedes, treating all protests "with; contempt. But.as.her plans' for,.-, keeping the Swedish nobility at ,'a distance and impoverishing the .people*;, were _ not' sufficient io subdue such a bold and turbulent race, she gained over their spiritual guides and ..masters; the clergy, by showering- her favors on them 'thereby gaining also - the' assistance' .Of their numerous vassals. ""* As themonarchial institution had resulted In,so.much violence and. disturbance, Sweden in future determined >.o be governed, not by a king, but by an administrator for herself, thereby breaking the union of Calmar. In this anarchical' fashion Swedish history arrives at the time when Steno II. was administrator in 1512 and a certain Eric Trolle, Archbishop of Upsal. At this time .the Nero of the North, Christiern II. of Denmark, reigned. His birth had made him king of Norway also, but he dreamed of one day conquering Sweden, and waited till a truce his father had made with the late Swedish administrator should expire that he might make an advance on Sweden. In this work he counted on ine holp of the haughty and turbulent Swedish Archbishop Trolle, who came of a family and was joined to a party always ready, to side with Denmark. Let it be said that the jealous Trolle had openly shown, opposition to the Swedish' administrator, so that the latter applied to Rome to keep him in order and in other ways took means to secure his administrative power. .Pope Leo X." ostensibly censured Trolle, but in reality was pleased at the administrator's troubles, for the kings bf Sweden, despite the thunders of excommunication, had for long resolutely discontinued the payment of St. Peter's pence.., On the other hand, the insolent prelate made it his business to gain more friends to the king of Denmark and raise new enemies to the administrator, In- order. to break the truce between the two countries. Leo the Tenth's legate," .John Arcemboldi, thereupon came- forward as mediator, but as he was a purely mercenary character, he'-was-successfully bought over by "the. administrator, who thus checkmated his Danish^ rival. In addition, ..the Swedish estates, learning of Trolle's treachery, declared .against him and resolved to seize his person, and as .his; meant a ■ rupture with his ally, the king of Denmark, theadmin**-" istrator. determined. to arm the Swedes for defense. In tbis work he, had the invaluable assistance of his young lord of .six and twenty. It was by the latter's advice that the peasants, armed for the most • part with bows and arrows," were' given fire-arms. These fire-arms wero bought at Lubeck and shipped to Sweden, but on the waj^ the' ship was seized by tbo Danish admiral, which served for-a declaration of* war between the two nations in which the Swedes were victorious at tlie first encounter. Hence, thereafter, the administrator and his Benate were able to compel Trolle to resign his, office as a traitor, and his* fort of Steque was demolished,* The, archbishop turned to the king'of Denmark and the Pope In order to securo his restoration. In a subsequent engagement the administrator died of a gunshot wound, whon tho Danes wero able to triumphantly enter Sweden and, the 'Archbishop Trolle loft his monastery to resume his old authority at Upsal, whoro ho mado'that dty.declare for Denmark.*' Tho noxt net of tho king of Denmark was .to condomn all tho senators to death who hod signed the sentence against Trolle, also tho consuls and magistrates of Stockholm and 94 lords underwent tho snmo fato. A( the samo timo, tho town was given ovor to tho murdorous and brutal lucts ol tho Boldlory, But there was one who escaped, destlnod to rnnk na tlio Protestant liberator of Swodcn —that snmo Gustavus Erlcson above- montlonod. Suffice it to say that Gustavus, who wan In hiding, and who had boon obllgod to work ln tho copper mines, managed to raise, after mnny hardships, a succosBful rovolt against Christiern II. of Donmarlc, so thnt ho hoenmo first administrator nnd, finally, king of Swodon. Trollo •died of wounds rocolvcd ln bnttlo In 1535. From now on wo havo to doal with tho ovonts of tho Swodlsh reformation. Whon GustnvuB had beon urged by his sonatorH and officers to actually proparo for hia coronation, 'ho knew that ho was not mnstor of sufflclont funds to defend his kingdom, Tho rovonuea of tho crown wero olthor nllonntod pr usurped, tho Imposition of taxes wns resented by thn peoplo, tho commons wero roducod to extreme poverty, and tho nobility exhausted by long and oxpcnslvo war. 6i» the.contrary, the. clergy were rich and- powerful, especially the"; bishops, who had seized on the principal forts and\ part -of 7 the 7revenues-; of -the crown. ■! Besides; he was not prepare- to' take the'eustomfary coronation1 oath demanded by-the clergy that the,; king would preserve and maintain all*.tti'eir privileges, a_ Gustavus was'firmly de- termlned;to abolish every one of these privileges:",-. Accordingly he opened his mind.tbfhis chancellor, Lars Anderson, who had a" grudge against the clergy ■ for excluding him from a bishopric when he had formerly tried an ecclesiastical' career., - "Anderson was possessed with.the new doctriies of .Luther,'but he urged that If "Gustavus dispossessed the' church of. her wealth solely on the plea of the public good, the priests and monks would be able to use religious arguments to regain their influence over the people. But if, in addition to Gustavus' material reasons, there was coupled the already well-known ' Lutheran teaching, the reformation could be. successfully brought about.; Besides, the inferior clergy would* be easily persuaded to shake off, the burdensome yoke of a forced celibacy, and. would cheerfully embrace so favorable an opportunity to exchange their scandalous libertinism for' lawful matrimony. Gustavus knew he was, playing a dangerous game, and that lt would be policy that such an important change should always be begun by the people, and that he should seem to embrace the new religion out of complaisance to his subjects. H«. therefore gave secret orders to Anderson not only to protect the Lutheran doctors within his kingdom, but also to invite others .from the universities of Germany to spread the new doctrines. The Swedish bishops perceived with alarm the progress of, this work, destined to ruin their power and dignity, but although they observed its origin from the king, he was so careful to conceal his views and still continued in the external profession, of the Catholic religion that they could only watch events. Iri the meantime Olans,' a Lutheran, published a version of the New Testament, whereupon the bishops complained to the king, denouncing him and his followers as notorious heretics. A public conference on religion was appointed ,and held, and the bishops agreed tb publish their own version of the New Testament.* The next -step, of the Lutherans was to publicly marry, and Gustavus was so. pleased with the way things were going that he concluded that he might.at last venture to throw off his mask and seize ori, part of those estates possessed by the clergy. Accordingly, with his senators' support, he had all the superfluous plate.and bells of the churches confiscated, and at the same tiine laid, up -in public .stores the tithes and corn, that were .appointed for the _U.b_isteiRseTOf~*the~"army:—He—had- some .trouble with rebellious peasants and clergy, but f'a show of arms was sufficient to overawe all rebels, and thereafter nothing stopped his victorious career. , He recovered from the clergy more than two-thirds of their revenues,. and seized upon 13,- 000 considerable farms, somo of which he reunited to his own demesnes, bestowing the rest upon.his creatures and the principal officers of his army. At'the* same time, .he caused the church plate to be everywhere melted, down and carried to the public treas-' ury, Most of tho clergy settled down to tho inevitable and embraced Lutb- eranlsm, and in this manner, its whole career markod and defiled with utter materialistic did .the holy reformed Protestant religion take Us rise and dispossess the equ-i?,.y malodorous .Catholic religion of Sweden, Such is a much abbreviated nnd incomplete , account of the , Swedish Reformation. Thoso who wish to pursue thosubjoct moro doeply are recommended to read Vertot's entire history for themselves. VERESO.

Pay_e-Dome and Haute-Loire. _- At the * present time, however, one, of the collieries in the Brassac basin—namely, the Du Grosmenil pit—is subject to carbon dioxide outbursts tbat are quite as violent , as., those at Fontanes. Similar outbursts have also occurred in the coal deposits, of a0very different character, that traverse the central plateau, from north to south, between Decize , and Champagnac: Finally, an increased number of these outbursts have' been reported in the Department of Gard, not merely In the Rochebelle and Nord d'Alais collieries, where the extension of the Fontanes coal deposit is worked, but also in pits working the very different Crelys seams at the extreme opposite end of the district. In the Nord d'Alais district particularly, the outbursts have beeri of a very, violent character, the one occurring in July, 1907, having dislodged no less than. 4,000 tons, of which 1,000 tons were forced up to the surfaco. For several hours the entire workings were filled with carbon-dioxide, and several cases of poisoning, resulting in the death of three laborers, occurred at the surface within a radius of several hundred yards from the pit. The only practicable means at present known for coping with the danger of these sudden 'outbursts -\ consists in the prohibiting of the winning of coal with the pick substituting shot-firing, with heavy charges of explosives fired by electricity from a sufflicient distance. Apart from very special cases, blasting has to be carried on during the change of shift, at a time when none of the men are in the pit, the charge being fired from bank. •' Except in the accident of July-6th, 1907, personal injuries have been prevented in all cases where these precautions have been adopted in Nord d'Alais district. " It is, however, essential to use heavy blasting- charges, which will .shatter the coal violently, and to distributeTthe shotsj to "be fired simultane6u'sly,--over" tbe whole dis- trict',pf the mine, since, otherwise, an outburst .of carbon" dioxide may.,0c- curTuriexpecte"dIy~during"thlTsHft .md" be attended with more serious results.0 In most' divisions of the mines where sudden outbursts of carbon dioxide occurred during development work, pillar and stall working, haB not been adopted to more than a small extent. In such cases the regulations might.be made. less stringent, if. only in view of preventing falls ; of roof and coal as a,. consequence of excessive blasting charges; and in the" case of pillar * workings, with sufficiently narrow intermediate spaces and far enough away from the zone of greatest danger! winning with the pick, or a* least with smaller blasting charges might be permitted.—Victoria Colonist.

They will include the real estate and live stock values of each enumeration district at that date,. of the livestock and nursery stock sold in 1910, of the dairy "products consumed at home, sent to factories or sold, and of *.he animals slaughtered on the farm, in the same year, together, with values of. other, products of the farm. Land and -buildings and farm; implements arid, machinery owned by every person in the enumeration district will be, recorded separately for values in 1911, and the rent of land and buildings will. also be recorded if leased in that .year.. Values will be taken for'' orchard fruits, small fruits and vegetables separately for 1910; but values of horses; milch cows, other horned * or neat cattle, sheep, swine, poultry arid hives of bees will be taken separately for 1911. at the date of the census. The values of livestock and nursery stock sold ln 1910 will include horses, milch cows, other horned or neat cattle, sheep, swine, poultry.and hives of bees, and of nursery stock, which means fruit and ornamental trees grown for transplanting into orchards, gardens arid parks. Dairy products consumed on the farm, and sent to factories or sold, refer to products of the year 1910. They Include the values ' of milk, cream, home-made butter and homemade cheese. Animals slaughtered ori the farm in 1910 will be recorded for the values of horned or neat cattle, sheep, swine an dpoultry:-^ Horses are not, Included in these values, as In our country their, meats are not used for food. .* y The values, of other products of the farriv include those of eggs, honoy and wax for 1910, and .wool, maple sugar and maple syrup for 1911. The enumeration of hired labor on tho farm refers to, the year 1910. • It will give the total number of weeks of labor employed, which means the number for all men who work for hire, on the farm, and the total amount paid for hire, ' including allowance for board. The payment should'be reckoned for the full time of service ,and should include the value of. board. The inquiry relating ' to earnings .for domestic service is asked for in Schedule No. !. Iri addition to the . foregoing inquiries of values, a question is asked fo rthe value- of all lands and build-, ings not manufacturing ostablish- ments or mines.owned in Canada in 1911 which,, are outside... of ■ the enumerator>„distrlot.-- ■-*- *""'" ORGANIZER TROTTER COMING. , Mr.-W.

VANCOUVER, Aug.' 20.—Coast and mountain mill men at conference with the Prairie retailers at Banff concluded August 12th, agreed to reduce the price on common lumber $2 per thousand. A number of retailers who expressed an unwillingness to give the farmers the benefit of the reduction were given a warning. All reports represented showed the lumber trade to be In a flourishing condition. Stocks of the coast mill men were shown to have been one hundred and two hundred million feet on January 1, and one. hundred and seventy-five million feet a year ago. The stock of the Mountain * mills are now one hundred and sixty-five million feet as against two hundred million feet this time last year.. The spruce mills reported that they will have twenty million feet on hand at the, end bf the- season as compared with1 seventy-five million a year ago, and the White Pine men of the east showed .'that their stocks are forty per cent less'than they were'a year ago. *-■■*,.

When the remark Is made by a student of economics that capital receives 80 per cent arid labor but 20 per cent the porson addressed not infrequently makes the re- •joinder: "You do not know what you are talking about" and" alludes to some particular industry where the profit is only on a very small*percentage and that the wages paid to lho 'laborer/represent 85 per cent of the expenditure. This assertion may be perfectly correct, but in nowise-contradicts the prior assertion for the process of production does riot begin and end in one establishment, but is interwoven with every other department of production whether it bo in the extraction of,the, raw material from mother earth or the various phases through which0 it passes en route to the ultimate consumer. The first speaker-is dealing with the collectivity of" capital and labor, whereas the other simply refers to individual institutions, consequently, although both may be correct in their assertions, each is judgiffg from a different standpoint. We do not think that the United State.1' government can be charged with being' advocates of Socialist, philosophy although the statistics furnished by this body are in themselves the strongest corroborative* evidence of the soundness of the Marxian theory of surplus value. - . The figures .quoted are" from United States census reports" arid speak for themselves: ' Value of. products, $24,000,000,000 per annum., j Wages paid, $6,000,000,000 per annum.- - .On the basis of five members to a family, averages $300 a year, for each, family or practically $6.00 per week. ■"'.,'' Despite these facts, and there is no logical reason to doubt their,accuracy, is it not an impertinence border- 'T*^~d^cruelfyl.6""advise"the working class as a classlo be thrifty, gave their money, when to do so means' the deprivation of some of those things which go to make, life a little less distressful? - *.*.," To quote Engels on the Proletarian: \; '".ar moro demoralizing, than even poverty; in its'-'iln- have met many';exiles„from the land'of-*-the-Czar.who would not have" hesitated to commit regicide had the opportunity* offered that are. exemplary citizens• on. .this ~"' • ■* j " i ' continent. **A leaf* from .the.book of life, ofe one of these individuals will better illustrate our contention thaU' any lengthy argument can afford.

"7- ^ 7 ,. ■..'.. *.. 7 "My father was7a physician and as his practice brought him In contact with many of the members of the poorer classes he could not help seeing the many distressful cases "that came under his notice whilst attending the families .although he refrained from taking nny tactive steps in any political movement because of his time being completely absorbed in the many branches of his beloved .profession. One night an ever-eventful one ln my memory, father was studying in the library while I, a lad of ten, amused myself with a new toy engine that had been given to mo for a birthday present; suddenly the door was opened and three policemen entered without ceremony, one seizing my father while the other two ransneked the house in search of suspicious literature, this concluded leaving everything scattered around where they had thrown them on the floor, departed with father in their custody. Child-like affrighted with terror I cried and while sobbing and wondering what the police were going to do to papa, my mother who had been visiting came into the room and noting the disordered state of the room and the absence of father asked me where he was. All I could say .was that the. policemen had taken him, when she rushed out of doors it was a freezing night and I afterwards learned that she had gone from police station to police station without getting any information must have fainted and in her state of health and the oxclte- men were too mueh for her poor frame and I never saw either mothor or father again alive. An* uncle took charge of-me and'I was educated at a university and among the students discovered that though the details were-different there were many who possessed-experiences much of the same tenor as mine.. The rest of my , life was devoted to the study, of," conditions' and the education of others, but being warned that my life and liberty were in jeopardy and realizing the futility of re-, .malning in my. native land -I'escaped across to Germany and finally emigrated "to this country. This is by no means an isolated "instance* that-clearly demonstrates the truth of the theory that man is affected by his environment. - Here' we have one the' Utif-i-.ce upon the workingman, is£the insecurity of _H*> position, the necessity* of living, upon' wages from hand* to'mouth, .hat In short, which makes a proletarian* of blm. , . -, '.'Everything..that.the,proletarian can,do. to.

Fifty -Men Are Arrested During ., ■'' "Manoeuvres. ■ An unfortunate Incident in" connection with the training of the Yorkshire Territorials in the Isle bf Man has resulted in 50 men, who, it is alleged," were guilty of insubordination,- being placed under guard. The climax of the manoeuvres, which so far had been greatly marred by rain, should have been reached with the carrying out of operations on an f.x- tensivo scale. Unfortunately, when the time for leaving the, camp at Ramsey arrived, tho rain was pouring down in torrents, and tliere was murmuring among a section of the men. In the.hope that«by the time the scene of action was reached the downpour would have ceased, the various regiments set out from camp, but when they arrived on the mountain road, after a long; march in the pitiless rain, the storm showed no signs of abatement. The' men's clothing was soaked, and many of them seemed ■ almost exhausted. It, was then that the trouble, the flrst signs of which were noticed in camp, assumed serious proportions. Fifty men of the Eighth Leeds regiment are reported to have refused to proceed any further. An, escort drawn from the Bradfords was called up, .and the men were marched back to camp, where they were -lodged temporarily in „a marquee, under guard. Three of them, it is* said, became so unruly that they wsrei removed to the guard tent. A number of the privates in the Seventh Leeds regiment also .protested against having to turn out in such weather. As there was no improvement in the weather, it was deemed advisable to abandon the manoeuvres. ' In an interview, Major Hepworth; commanding the Eighth Leeds, said the men marched 23 miles on Wednesday to capture a convoy, and, coming back, tired and footsore on Thursday in the heavy rain, a number of the men said their feet were sore and they could not go further., Then.then fell out without permission. They were, marched to camp under, escort, and put under guard. * -The <■ major added.-thnt-tlie""m"en would, be confined to camp for. the .remainder of. the week. *. ■-.*.•' You are now going through this world for the last time: Why Not live o nthe best and nothing but the best, and go to The 41 Market Co. for your requirements in Meats.

Thon thoro uro tho largo doposits of HhnlOH found throughout tho coal moiiBiiros, days of varying composition, and gonorally of littlo value. Thoy, also, hardly como within tho bounds of tho prosont subject. Thoro romnlns tho "flint" ' clnyH and the plastic "undorclays" of tho conl measures, which I tnko It aro thn only oiiob of dlroct Intorost to tho conl minor, Tho "flint" clays nro largely found In tho Mnrror group nnd In tlio .Mahoning Hitndslono, Thoso horizons nro without tho limits of tho workable con In, iiiiIohr locnlly, nnd nm not thoroforo of direct Interr-st to Ilie conl minor, except ns tho there is no value in s an ultimate chemical analysis. , , o' While the Mercer, group and . the Mahoning are the main horizons for the, flint clays, yet we have other valuable' deposits of these minerals constituting at times' portions of the underclays of the "Allegheny River series." The deposits of these horizons are for the most part,, however, irregular, and of relatively little value. An exception to this ---general statement is to be made, however, in reference to the "Boliver" clay." There has been some confusion regarding this clay. Frequently it has been confounded with the Upper Freeport clay, and so called in geological reports. It belongs, properly below the horizon of the Upper Freeport limestone, and has often been spoken of as t replacing the limestone, and occupying its place in the column. Whether, or not, this is correct, I do not think has been definitely settled. The limestone seems to be absent without the clay being present, and is so irregular at all times that such a statement can only be based on a very extended series of observations over the whole region covered by the Freeport series. While the flint clays are so valuable in the production of refractories, yet to the coal miner they are not of such direct value as the plastic clays underlying tho various workable coal beds, and in this section these are mainly confined, to the Allegheny River, series. There is ono coal horizon between the top of the Homewood sandstone, and the base of the Mahoning that does not have underlying it a clay bed. Often these are not' of workable dimensions; often they are so impure as to ,be of no value. Their character is in no way related to that of the overlying coal, nor does the character change in any way with a change in tlie character of the coal, or vice versa. The coal may be utterly worthless, yet the clay may be among' the- best of the plastic clays,, of the series, and on the other hand, we often find a good coal, of a good thickness, and-the - underplay without value, or practically wanting. A clay will often change in a' short distance not only in thickness, but in quality and,', characteristics'' as ..well, so the fact that a clay is of good value at any point does not mean It will be of - equal value even one- fourth of a mile distant. .While this is undoubtedly the rule, yet in the case of some clays tliey seem of a uniformly valuable character-1 over quite large areas; the best known bf these valuable district in Pennsylvania probably, being the Beaver River section, where the lower'Kit- tanning clay is uniformly developed over a large area, and while not uniform in character, yet possesses good workable qualities wherever it has been opened. Throughout that district the overlying coal is of little value, as is generally the case with all other clay horizons. The question of the underclays presents'itself to tho coal minor in a number ,of different ways, Thore is necessarily, in many* cases, a portion tion of tho underclay removed to facilitate mining. .Generally this is mixed with tho other refuse from tho mine so that it is of no" practical valuo. To use' this portion of clay it is necessary that it bo kopt by Itself, and not contamlnntod with other waste materials, or by tho waters from tho mlno. The amount of clay thus necessarily ^akon from tho mlno is gonorally smnll, ancl is not of sufficient nmount to'supply a modorn clay working establishment of It- solf. Thoro aro cases whore the clay thus mined, bolng of a high flro-ro- slstlng quality, ond plastic as woll, can be used ns a "blndor" ln working somo of tho clays dorlvod from tho flint horizons, or it might- bo mixed with shnlos and thus usod in making somo of tho lowor grades of brick. To do this, howovor, thoro must bo a propov relation of murkot to th'o location of tho plant, for Uioho lowor grades of brick will not permit of .shipment to any groat distance, onpoclnlly undor tlio prosont. frolglit classification of brick, by which thoy tnke a higher freight rato than grain products or other articles of many times tho valuo of olny goods, lon for ton, .

At times series of preliminary trials will be necessary, to obtain indications or the methods of manufacture to be' followed in the real testing. We recently had such a case in our own experience. We had received a car of clay from Montana for trial; in this case, however, there were four different clays in the car, and we knew nothing of the conditions under which they were found, or how the samples were procured, and wo had no experience with clays from that region. There was not sufficient of any one kind to permit any waste o. material, so we made up a lot of small < trial pieces by hand, carefully noting,the behavior of'the clay in molding, and In drying, and then by. placing these samples in- different parts of the kiln, we obtained some knowledge in burning, comparing the trials at all stages with materials of our own which we were using every day; and having run through a lot of these trials we were then in position to begin the real testing of the clays. It is generally thought considerable knowledge can be had of a clay by mere inspection. Such is not the case. Where one is familiar with clays closely associated with one under investigation, and knows regarding the surroundings from which'it has come, experience will suggest the line of trials to be pursued, but the first actual trials may show such deductions entirely wrong. A light-colored clay may in use burn a very light color, or it may burn dark, while on the other hand a dark "colored clay may burn, white, the coloring matter being entirely organic^and driven off by the heat of burning. , In procuring a trial sample of clay great care should be taken to secure a true average sample. A- sample from the "crop" is worthless. It is weathered. to" such an extent that nothing can be told of the deeper lying portions of the bed. Many of the impurities have been dissolved and wadhed away. .The effect of weathering has been to make the clay more plastic, and render it more difficult to,;dry. The particles have boen .broken _ui- si^that a smoother denser article" is produced. Excessive weathering in one way is an approximation to "washing" and hence the crop may indicate a use.that will be found impossible when once' under Kood_co_y_er. _and_awav_ Jcor__t_e_sur_ face.. For example, the, crop often.indicates a clay can be used for pottery of some sort, the excessive business can•_"■**. carried on at a-profit. .Clay machinery men .are" constantly hunting up new possibilities' Ih the matter of* locations, and it Is not an uncommon thing-tb hear,that.a brick' plant can: be.^erected at7the cost (of "a dollar pe__i.rlck of daily capacity. Such a'factory;.wlll'not prove profitable, The day of temporary structures is past.. Heavy permanent.bulld- ings, permanent kilns, , thoroughly drained and paved .yards are a., necessity today, and there is no" doubt it will be but* a short time until any up-to-date brick plant will be operated entirely by electricity. There* are too many advantages in this kind of power not tb-iuse it.

As yet there,rhas " been but little organization among any of the brick people, aside' from some of the firebrick makers, but it will be only a short time before the makers of other classes of brick must get together. As it is today, it is a time of ruinous competition, without any necessity of such being ,the case, and many plants have gone' out.of business, with a great loss of, money. Many plants are today merely existing, being carried on in the hope of something "turning up" that will allow them to make a profit,, while there are some, that owing to location, to the character of the goods they make, to the fact that they make some kind bf special, line, have been and are making fair profits. In the absence'of organization tlie matter of freight rates Is much against* the clay manufacturer, -There are gross inequalities here .that only can be remedied by organization. - No, logical reason can be assigned for the present rates; they are either*entirely too high, or thero are other classes of goods that are being carried at a loss to the railroads of the country. These are some of the factors that must ,be considered. Like any other business the clay industries have many sides, all of which need to be studied, ani it is not only the possibilities from a mere manufacturing point of view that need consideration, but as in , all other ventures it is the view from the-business side that must in all cases determine the real possibilities of any clay working.—Mines and Minerals.

Ttie grade or quality of tho •'lny Is tho first, question that prosontn UHfilf, Ah thoro nro a numbor of rlny horizons, innd tho chnrnclor of .'iu.li clny Is constantly changing an rbnva mentioned, tho question In tlio pro-sont state of our technical know!- rda*. or rathi-r want of knowledge, resolves Itself into ono of a practical na'urc, undue uvury-duy condition* of mnnufarjturo. A (ost of thla character I* -not alwaya oaay to accompllah, but it lh tho only real method of trying n clay, arid no small laboratory or semi-laboratory teat, will prove aatla- factor)'. Tbrro mint alwaya be auf fitU-nt cU> Utnled u> give rnal factory «omnifont, and tufflclent material to weathering, together with" the accompanying washing away of impurities, permitting of Its being readily-molded yet, when followed into the bank, it is found there is but a relatively small portion of the clay that Is washable, and the impurities are such that ware of an entirely different character is produced, with a great loss in breakage, and, often such a high fire is required that pottery cannot be made at a profit, the vitrifying point being the point of destruction, or nearly so, At least one clay .In this Central Pennsylvania region that has been used for pottery purposes has this character, resulting in such a loss in burning as to really destroy its usefulness for-the purpose used. It Js , probable that most of thc uses for tho underclays of. Central Pennsylvania will bo for sower pipe, for stroot-pavlng brick, for building brick of various colors, or articles of such nature,' For thoso purposes clays need not bo of vory groat fire- resisting quality, for these 'goods are gonorally burned at a relatively low heal, .nost of thom bolng burned, nt or below cono No. 8. This Ib the bout generally usod In pottory work in this country, and whoro a lowor heat can bo used ,nnd good, donso ware pro- ducod, ,lt is bottor, nnd tho fuel cost Is just that, much* loss. Clays ■ for tho purposo Indicated can hnvo a large porcontngo of Impurities present, for tho mnltor of color, oxcopt In tho caso of faco brick, Is not Important, Indeed thoro seoms to boa-sonernl preforonco In tho markets for tho dnrkor shades of thoso goods, whloh nro generally supposed to Indlcato a high dogreo of vitrification—not, how. ovor, nocossarlly ao. In tho mattor of faco brick, undoubtedly, tho Idijul clay Is ono thnt will burn a whito color, or nt moBt a vory light buff, In which caso tho color doslrod can ho readily produced by tho Introduction of tbo liecossary metallic oxides. Whoro theso aro In tho clay In Its natural stato tlioy Invariably vary In nmount, and tho coloring valuo bolng high, thoro Is a corresponding vnrla- Hon In tho color of tho finished goods. Most of tho olnnsnn of go-ids montlonnd nlso roqulro a clay thnt will "flnnl!," that In, undor tho action of tho kiln gnsos, ns thoso nocoHsarlly vory from tlmo to tlmo during tho burning, there Is produced on tho surfaco of tho wnro a species of glns-n, which wo know na "flnahlng" the wnro.
