J beheve the present Board of Trustees have worked without fear, fav'or or part ality, studying to do justice to the scholars, the teachers and the ratepayers, who to a large extent ate the most interested parties in the whole concern. I believe the Trustees paid a probationer-the paltry sum of $120 during the last three months for fifty-nine days work of five hours each. I doubt if G. R. Wilson could mention r nv other probationer in a city school in this province that receded more during the same time, and I fail to see why the Ladysmith School Hoard should be called upon to pay higher salary 1han any other City Joard. One would imagine from the tone of G. R/ Wilson's letter that the probationer in "uestion had been deliberately legislated against by the Board of Trustees. 1 believe the Board of Trustees are all honorable and upright men and that all their work since incorporation will begr the strictest investigation of even the man behind the gun.

The shrin kagc 'must not be taken as the indication that our luel req,uire- ments have been at allless than in lOO'l. The apparent diminished quantity of coal fuel has been much more than good, by an output this year of lully three million 'U[airels of Fuel Oil in excess of last year shipments, whereas the Australian amount has shrunk fully 40 per cent. A new feature has recently deteliopdd itself inCoIkmial deliveries being made here by steamers, ithere are several alroaidy chartered, which ��������� have yet to arrive, with freight, at about 16 per ton, and with the duty of 67 cents per ton, theimporters receive a very small compensation for the coal; less than one half the amount demanded for British Coiiim- ���������bia coal at port of shipment. Tho .{flotations of coal of all grades have ruled very uniformly throughout the year, the prices of steam .girades -have favored the ,bjuy- ers, having} Fuel Oil for a close competitor.- This has not been an advantageous Port for coal car riers to come to, On Arrival here they find no profital.������Je outward V/tisinoss, cither in lumber or cearels We arc promised a reduction of a.- bout 25 per cent in tho price of gas at an early date, this will necessarily lead to anincreased do mand for gias stoves for cooking and boating purposes, and will naturally diminish the coal consum pliou for th<*- same purposes. The labor disturbances in Dritish Col- j ml .Jin which lasted for about six months this year, served to diminish the importations from tho Nanaimo section, and helped toin- creas2 the Colonial sections, both as to (Quantity and price. Favorable terms were reached in NovembV'' last, and work has been recommenc ed. and is now running harmoniously. About SO percent of the xoal trade is under the control and supervision of one firm locally. This is found to v,oi-k with advantage to the buyers and sellers, as the material can be handled much more (���������coiomically, and prices are. sustained more uniformly. There are six steamers now bping utilized by this firm, transporting coal from British Columbia only, the last deliveries here for the six steamers amounted to over 24,000, tons, partially for steam purposes, and partially domestic grades.

The amount of crude oil exported during the year will bo in the'neighbothood of 800,000 barrels, the amount of oil intankaige is .estimated to We about 10,000,- 000' barrels, the manufacture of kerosene has consumed about 4,- 000,000 barrels. The quantity utilizer! in sprinkling roads," and the manufacture of lubricating oils and Napatha, the figures of these have not yet been received for this year The Railroads of the state are com. pute-d to bo consuming about 15- 000,000 barrels annually, a greater boom to railroads than any other line of commerce. COICE���������The total deliveries nerc by sail during the year will aggregate 06,511 tons, as against 57,911 tons last year, over fifty poi* cent of this years deliveries was shipped from Great Bricain . remainder came from Belgium and Germany. PIG IRON���������The total importation of Pigi Iron into this port wore 13,413 tons, over 85 per cent, was shipped fiom Great Brita n nlono. Consumers during the year have favored with fairly low prices. Business generally through the year has been less prosperous in the Fuel line than most other lines of trade, not that the quantity con sinned is of any diminished amount under last year, but fuel oil has controlled' the situation, and it is hieing handled by n few wealthy corporations. The outlnok for gan eral commerce for 1906 is peculiarly promising, for mammoth increase of the Oriental trade, which is promised us, we will make itself felt in every branch of business.
