In round numbers there arc 30,000 acres, embraced in this purchase, and from a blue print of the survey made by thc agents of the'"-'purchasers, a Ledger reporter gleans the following most flattering details of the coal beds in the territory so far examined.' In a section i,iSS feet in thickness, llu're have been uncovered and measured 25 scams of coal varying in thickness from one foot'to 30 feel. Of ihesc 25 seams only 7 are less than 3 fc:t in thickness,, and the total lliiek- 1 . licss of workable coal i.s 175 feel. The whole °c-f the 30,000 acres has not yet l.cdi thoroughly explored and enough is known to warrant I'll, assertion ilr-it it is unsurpassed in the Valley one week, takes almost as good a bank account as- lite ledger has to its credit.

"Furihcriiiori', one point of thi*- election is to prove what the policyholders CAN do. If the policy-hold ers succeed now, coining adininistra* 'lions will make representative nom- itiutions; if the policy-holders fail, lliey ore ut their mercy, unless tin legislature uguin comes to their res *u«." '*' "It .should he rt'iiieiitiiercd that llu whole insurance story has not beer told. "The iiivciUigiition opened will protest ut ions of innocence nud claim' of great ptihli- lieiicfnclitins.

Thrre has hci-n lots of rottenness -iieurtlu-il by lhe skimming pr<-irrs« iilnndy gone through, but there is lota more to conn*, and when it is nil ... tired properly, there will appear no .more reason lor 1.V1 x\u invcstim-ni le.iturca that have l.eeti tarked on to real life iniMf.mee ihan lliere would le In having Miih feature-" ad.le-.l t'i fire ifiMirjuice.

Xo wonder that such tremenduous efforts arc being put .forth to prevent a complete exposure of this system by the election of an entire new set of trustees composed of what the Outlook so naively calls unknown men, like ex-secretary of state 01- ne-y, Mr. Long worth, and others ol the same character. The "Outlook says the administration ticket is composed- of the best of the old trustees, and' some new men. In ihis 'case the policy-holders cannot - be blamed if they conclude-. ThatTlhTTjest oFTTia r~oTil—'board™of trustees are not quite good enough to fill the bill and succeed in turning the whole lot out for a rest. If the, policy-holders succeed iii electing tlit • international policy-holders ticket, there will be a big shuffling in insurance circles, and the insurance, com- iiiuks (if Canada will have to submit to sonic more impertinent qucs-' tioning.

The revelations -whieh hay.e. shocked the people of P-.ri1.aiii regarding the condition existing in the Chinese compounds in the Transvaal will, it is .sincerely he ped, put an end to the degrading .state of virtual slavcrv that our 'uie has resulted in introducing.' If this national disgrace was foreseen from the first, as has been freely admitted; it goes a long way the Iioers to Hritish rule It is urged in apology' that the mines cannot to palliate the obstinate resistance of profitably be worked without corralling and impounding laborers under conditions that lead to and entail , unspeakable* degradation. Then let the mines remain unworkeil so long as Uritsin governs the Transvaal and Canada is responsible for that government. We cannot afford, even if in the least degree inclined, to accept the cynical dictum that all considerations of national prestige, honor, humanity, and common decency must l.e sacrificed for dividends. There is air impressive'truth'in this old, adage that gold may be bought too dear. And we will be paying far loo high a priceifor lhe gold of.the Transvaal if it costs our acquiesence, in the wholesale degradation of virtually imprisoned laborers, even though they be of an inferior race, and so ignorant as tb put themselves into die hands of unscrupulous agents. ■ Canada look a leading' part 'In .lie establishing of ■ Hritish rule iu the Transvaal, and' sacrificed not inly money but precious, lives to that i-i'd.

It has since transpired that the people were deceived in m.iuy particulars, but that makes it all "lie mere clear that lliey -were-, actuated by. the highest "and noblest impulses. Now there can lie no deception. The , people know, ,with shameful certainty, just what is going on in the Transvaal. 'Ihey know the 'motives of those who have brought the deplorable condition aliont.

Mumford tells how Psychine cured him after the Doctors gave him up " It le twelve years since Psychine cured me of galloping consumption." The speaker was Mr. A. E. Mumford, six feet tall, and looking just what he is a husky healthy farmer. He works his own farm near Magnetawan, Ont. " I caught my cold working as a fireman on the C.'P.R." he continued. "I had night sweats, chills and fever and frequently coughed up pieces of my lungs. I was sinking fast and the doctors said thero was no hope for me. Two months treat ment of Psychine put me right on my feet and I have had no return of lung trouble since," If M.\ Mumford had started to tak- phmtcd at th Psychine when he first caught cold he would have saved himself a lot of anxiety and suffering. Psychine cures nil ltfcg- troubles by killing the srerms—the roots of the disease. g ' NOTICE ' ' ' y Notice is hereby given that 60 days Iter date,'I intend to apply to the Hc».7.Chicf Conin.ijssiott2r of Lands, and Works for a special license to cut and carry away timber from the following described lands situated on the • Kootenay River.

CENT A WORD ADS ■ there is everv reason to "believe that an election will be sprung ai an early^ date. There can be no mistaking the attitude of the capitalist partes in-this respect. Both Liberal and Conservatives ' are straining every nervc to get into shape as rapidly as possible, but, by tacit consent, or actual agreement, no notice will be given until the last possible moment ' for-fear of.further arousing an already deeply-interested working class. Speaking in Vancouver some mouths ago 1 stated lhat I believed that some such arrangements had been enlered into by the capitalist parties, and further that in my opinion the only ri*ason for the hesitation in springing the election at thai time ' wa_ the energetic" action of the Socialist party in placing its organi/.ers in the field, and tbe prompt response of the workers lo the signal of bat- ' tie. Trusting that this energy has been exhausted, or that the workers liave been once more lulled'into iliac. tivity or listlessness, the capitalist parties are again working iu silent but' strenuous effort to gel ready for the fray and place tlie proletarian lorces at an obvious disadvantage. It is highly advisable that lhe Socialist parly clears decks for action, or,, in other words, gets down to business. I would suggest that each local arrange forthwith for a nomination meeting to be' held within a month from date, and that Socialists in unorganized districts apply at once to the provincial executive to nominate, suggest, or assist them to' ij secure suitable candidates. This light is,.g6ing to be lhc most stirring and momentous in thc history of Canada and will prove of world-wide iuter- ■ est. It ■ is- up to the workers to come out of; the'fray the victors in every * district contested. If they- do not succeed to.this, extent they can at lekst make it evident to society that half., dozen fangs of their* capitalist exploiters have been extracted for good in this province of British Columbia.
