Including (the produce of the home wheat crop of 1912, and converting the imported flour into an equivalent quantity of wheat, the total quantity of wheat available for consumption in the United Kingdom was 298,598,000 bushels,, compared with 283,780,800 bushels in 1911-12, and 270,829,760 bushels in 1910-11.

The Imports from -Canada, 39,665,000 bushels, are the largest yet recorded from that country; there was a faU, on the other hand, in the imports from Australia, the quantity sent being less than in the three preceding years. Increased supplies during the year came from India and Argentina; there was a slight decrease ha the imports from Russia. A factor of increasing importance in recent years in the wheat trade has been the imports from southeastern Europe; the imports from Turkey and Roumania were 2,671,000 bushels in 1910-11 and 5,158,000 bushels in 1911-12; in 1912-13, however, ithey dropped to the unimportant figure of 200,000 .bushels. WIPBAT *X*0*T������ Russia is now the ch-ef wheat exporting country in the world; her exports were 5,128,764 tons in 1909 and 6,178,767 tons in 1910, while in 1910, the United States exported 2,760,000 tons, Argentina 1,970,000 tons, Canada 1,400,000 tons, British India 1,200,000 tons and Roumania 1,900,000 tons. ITAUAN WmO^ATION IN 1912 The total number of emigrants.from all parts of Italy was larger in 1912 than in 1911, the greatest increase in numbers in proportion to population being from the Marches, Calabria, Sicily, the Ah- ruzzi, Basilicata and Latium. As in former years the emigrants from Northern Italy mostly spread into other European countries, while those from the south chiefly sought their fortunes beyond the seas. Most of the emigrants consist of agricultural labourers, shepherds, day labourers, masons, iron works men and other industrial workers. The better educated classes were poorly represented. In 1912, 308,140 passports were made out for European countries as against 271,065 in 1911; the surplus, numbering 30,405 individuals, went chiefly to France, Germany and Austria-Hungary. The number of emigrants to North and South America was, 399,713 in 1912, as against 260,372 in 1911. In both years the largest numbers went 4,0 the United States, the numbers rising from 191,087 to 267,637. The number of emigrants to Canada rose from 9,094 to 18,991, of those to Argentina from 32,719 to 72,154, of those to Brazil from * 22,287 to 35,562, to Chile, Peru and Bolivia from 1,061 to 1,530, and to Central America from 1,116 to 1,438. On the other hand, the number of emigrants to Mexico fell from 1,020 to 758, and that of emigrants to Uruguay and Paraguay from 1,988 to 1,643. Owing (to the.annexation of Libya, the emigrants to Africa increased by 8,332, while 82 and 394 fewer went to Asia and Oceania respee- ;. tfrrely.

Former Mayor would try for office again���������Attacks Mayor Baxter's Administration There is to be a real mayoral contest. L. D. Taylor has announced himself as an opponent of Mayor Baxter. Without in a*ay way reitlecting upon JiiE. Taylor, in this issue we are forced to say that in our opinion he has made a mistake in attacking Mayor Baxter's administration. This has been a most trying year, and in spite of serious handicap Mayor Baxter has guided the city's anMi* with great skill. He has given us a most; careful and thorough government, yThere| has been no waste energy, and all has been done that was possible under the circumstances. No doubt exists as to the outcome of the contest. Mr., Taylor will add zest to the Contest, but his defeat is certain as no reason exists why Mayor Baxter should be refused the fcustomary second term. The Vancouver Islaad Coal Strike The full report of Commissioner Price regarding the Vancouver Island coal strike, which has only recently been published, is a most disappointing document. In the first place it is clearly evident throughout that the commissioner was prejudiced against the men. *He invariably puts.&e worst possible construction upon the actions of the men and seems to think twit the operators are a species of angels incapable of an unjust or biai^d action. . ^ ' y, v '-> Re dismissed the contention of the men tfett, the real cause of the trouble was "diseriminfttaon against $&������^^ ike ������^>^iwiSt|^Xtto fca& reported gas in some of the workings, by saying, "1% w#4d seem gjfeat fo%.on1;he part of any mine owner to discourage anyone from assisting in the^protection and safety of the mine.'* In his opinion such an action hy a Mine Owner would be unthinkable, and still he ref uses to accept seriously masses of evidence supporting the contention. ;;-.yr-f': In another place he says: "The influence exerted by unions is of ten out of all proportion to their numbers.,' J)id the Dominion Government appoint Mr. Price to write a homily on the influence of unions? or, was it not, rather, to ascertain the cause of the trouble? . He seems to have decided in his own mind that the men acted in bad faith throughout and that the Companies were in all cases, like Ceasar's wife/above reproach. The tondemned Miners All who have followed the course of this dispute in an impartial spirit must feel intense regret at the fate of the majority of those now imprisoned. Some of them are, no doubt, guilty of serious offences, but the majority are only great, simple-minded fellows, who have been guilty of more or less trivial misdemeanors. They are not criminals. Many who pleaded not guilty have since been acquitted by the assize court, while those who foolishly pleaded guilty, received the unusual sentence of two years, in most of the cases. These men are not criminals���������many believe them to be unfairly and unjustly treated, in any case, no real effort has yet been made to ascertain what was the real cause of the trouble and to do justice to all involved. Friends, Yet Not Friends At a recent mass meeting held to support the release of these men, statements are alleged to have been made which make it impossible for many who sympathize with them to' associate themselves with the movement. Threats of personal violence against the Provincial Premier and his colleagues can only have one effect on the public mind, and that is to alienate support, and thus defeat the objects of the so-called friends of the men imprisoned. There is no excuse for men inciting to violence, they only prove themselves the enemies of those they pretend to befriend. In fact, it often occurs that such men only seek to advance some pet theory. The wording of the resolution was also unfortunate. It constitutes a threat rather than a petition for justice. Many citizens in British Columbia would gladly see clemency exercised in this case, but it would be somewhat difficult to follow the course pursued at the meeting in the Horseshow Building. of Owo,Accdtiiiia *&yy0&m ������t-_*v>B I). 1 HUES .IMPERATIVE At^m.

H. Stevens, M.P.: Messers. Reid, Hamilton, Brown and Mr. C. Smith. Copies were sent to the Dominion and Provincial Governments and to other ratepayers' associations of the city. The first of these resolutions was moved by Mr. Maxwell Smith and seconded by Mr. G. A. Odium, was to the following effect: That the Dominion and Provincial Governments should co-operate in legislation to prevent the granting of citizenship or property rights to any but the white face, ^^ Mr. Smith said the secret Of the whole situation lay in .-withholding from the Oriental the fright to vote or possees lands. He. did not'- believe ;.thatVithe:;->whW7V?r_^eyish!^W assimilate:: any one; of the fcblored race*, as- it brought out the c worst traits in each, but at the same time he did not believe in humiliating or insulting anyone because of the color of his skin nor of making a native in his country a privilege we could not grant hint, iii ours. Moreover he considered the American negro as much of a menace as all the other colored races. He did not object to a man because of the tinting of his skin, but because he was against assimilating other colors. ��������� The second resolution was moved by Mr. Charles Smith and seconded by Mr. Lake and. embodied this sentiment: In view of the recent decision of Chief Justice Hunter, and to prevent the influx of Hindoes, we respectfully solicit that legislation be speedily granted tb exclude aU Asiatic immigration into Canada. Mr. Charles Reid said that the question should be regarded from the economic rather than from a so-called Christian standpoint and that a minimum wage should be established. Several members spoke against a too drastic legislative policy against the Hindoo as such might bring about international trouble. Omndview Metlxxtist Church Psstor��������� Rev. F. Q.

At a special meeting of the city council on Friday afternoon, the Billboard By-Law, re-drafted, after many alterations, 'passed its final reading, and will come into effect on the second day of January. Certain clauses, however, will not be enforced until the expiration of a year, in order to allow the billboard company, who control all the signs in the city, time to make the necessary alterations. These clauses require signs in resi- dental districts to be placed back in line with the houses, with other pro-' visors for corners and other built up sections. No discussion took place as to the double-deckers, these receivingl the sanction of a majority of the council at a previous meeting. On single lots between buildings coming to the property line, however, signs will be required to keep back three feet. A motion to have them kept back five feet was defeated, except as to corners in the built-up downtown section. The billboard owners, Messrs. Duker & Creighton, were again Represented in the council chamber as at previous meetings. Mr. Creighton protested against any of the proposed changes. "We haven't left any paper on the streets, for the past few months," he said, referring to the suggestion of Mayor Baxter that if the signs were not kept back, the sidewalk might become littered with rubbish. "Oh, you have been doing it fine��������� lately," replied the mayor, with a smile. Signs will be kept back to the line of the residences in residental districts and at least fifteen feet from the sidewalk in any event. This provision is intended as a remedy for the obstructing of a view from a house by reason of the lining of the street with high signs such as on Main street south, which was named as a glaring 'example. ���������.,"-.��������� Skysigns oh the roof of buildings must be constructed hereafter : of metal and be at least 60 per cent, of open work. It was intended at first to have all signs at present existing converted to the new standard, but so long as they are structurally safe to the; satisfaction of the building inspector, they will be allowed to remain. Building Inspector Jarrett ex. plained that in case of a combination of circumstances, when the- roof would be subjected to a severe strain of snow, a high wind blowing against a sign might wreck the. roof. Most roofs, he said, were not built to stand a combination of circumstances. Cloth signs must go from the city on the coming into effect of the bylaw on Jan. 2.. The month, explained Aid. Hepburn, was given to allow sign painters time to get their present orders out of hand. Aid. McBeath protested again about the hardship thrown upon the smaller men who work on cloth signs, while the larger interests using billboards were allowed/leniency.

To the Editor of the Western Call: Dear Sir��������� I read with interest your article under the above heading in last week's issue. This is of particular interest at this juncture, as a new B. C. wood is about to be put on the market��������� to be called commercially, "B. C. Satin Wood." The wood is not dissimilar to a wood of a similar name largely used for furniture in Europe and also for "finish" in good work where large grain markings are not desirable. It takes a high polish and may be stained to any desired color to represent Rosewood, Mahogany, Walnut, or it would take a green. I might say here that to the south of us the Americans have already commenced to use this wood for furniture manufacture. If the demand for this wood should justify, the local mills will stock it. Should you be interested in such .a new; industry you might add that there are samples of this wood in the office of A. Campbell Hope, the architect. Yours truly, A. CAMPBELL HOPE. Vancouver^ B.

Rutledge addressed the members of the West Collingwood Improvement Association on the night of the 4th inst. Mr. C. Bailey presided. Reeve Kerr gave a' brief account of the work of the council during the past year, making special mention of the financial situation and the efforts of the council to secure a permanent supply of water. He also touched upon the question of fire protection and stated that there were on order two auto- combination pieces of fire fighting apparatus which would be delivered shortly. One, he said, would be stationed on Kingsway, near Gladstone road, for the protection of the Collingwood and Cedar Cottage districts and the other would be stationed at the Municipal hall for the protection of the western section of the municipality. These two auto-wagons with the installation of a fire alarm system, the reeve said, would give better fire protection" and should result in reduced insurance rates. The reeve also dealt with municipal ownership of public utilities and industrial sites, and discussed the advantages of an incorporated city over a municipality. i . ��������� ��������� .-...��������� School Trustee Morris spoke chiefly on the advantages of incorporation. He said he believed that incorporation would be an economic advantage to South Vancouver and that Ward One would be more likely to secure permanent improvements within a short time by incorporation than by annexation to the city of Vancouver. Trustee Morris pointed out that at present South Vancouver ranked with municipalities such as Summer- land and Peachland, whSreas as an incorporated city it would rank as the third largest city in British Columbia, and that consequently its position on the money market would be vastly Improved. He said that even if by incorporation the price of its bonds was only raised one point it would net to South Vancouver $26,000. Hence he conseidered that for an investment of $150, which was about what incorporation would cost the municipality, they stood a very good chance of gaining at least $26,- 000 and probably much' more. Mr. Morris expressed himself as favorable to the policy of municipally- owned public utilities, which, he said, would tend to reduce taxation. Mr. W. R. Rutledge spoke on the subjects of incorporation and municipally-owned utilities, and stated that he was in favor of both propositions. He said he considered the councils of the past had been very remiss in not going in for municipal ownership before allowing others to come in. He said municipal ownership was the only wajjr t������> reduce taxes.; ��������� '..

Mrs. Simmons, 58 Eighth avenue West, a sister of the dead woman, is also in the hospital, but her injuries are not thought to be serious. The automobile was owned and driven by Mr. H. J.

Littler, joint ^proprietor of 'the iron works company, and Mr. James Mason, 3330 Third avenue West. Mr. Littler describes the accident thus: "I was driving west on Broadway about 5:30 p. m. I had stopped in the rear of a B. C. E. R. Fairview car at Quebec street to allow/ passengers to alight. At Ontario street, the second street west of Main street, I again stopped to allow other passengers to get off, one from the rear and two women from the front of the car. When the car again started I had pulled up alongside in an endeavor to passu When about the middle of the block I noticed two women standing on the street apparently about a car's length from the corner. I turned my car toward the car tracks to avoid them and suddenly remembered that I could not pass in front of the car. I applied the emergency brakes and my, car skidded. The rear part of my car struck one woman; and the B. C. E. R. car hit my machine about midway between the front and rear wheels." The, police ambulance was summoned and the two women taken to the hospital, where Mrs. Porterfield died about three-quarters of an hour after her arrival. Deceased- leaves a husband and young son, 10 years bid. Mr. Porterfield is a blacksmith in the employ of the Mainland Transfer Company. Mrs. Porterfield was 33 years old.

P. Procter, Mr. JameB Kerr and Rev; E. A. Henry, recommended the following suggestions, wbicb were adopted by the council as an .educational propaganda: 1. That addresses be secured from medical experts on the medical side of the social vice .problem. Such addresses to be delivered in various parts of tbe city. 2. Tbat the best literature on the subject be secured and distributed, witht wisdom, as widely as possible. The committee particularly recommend the pamphlets by the late Chief Justice Taschere.au in "The Crime of Prostitution." 3. That a strong appeal be made and the clergy of the city take steps to arouse their people, and through them the citizens, with regard to the evils with which our council deals. 4.'That through any ward groups tbat may be formed under this council arrangements be made for public gatherings for the discussion of the legal and moral aspects of the social evil and other vices found in this city. 5. That- steps be taken to secure, through co-operation of the press, in the way of public education in these vital themes. A strong committee was appointed to organize workers in each of the eight wards of the city for aggressive work. . The council decided as a matter of policy to confine its work to education in the interest of social service. Gratification was expressed at the resultB thus far obtained, and each member was urged to increasing vigilance with a view to vastly improving the social conditions in the city. The headquarters of this organization is No. 25 Dunsmuir street. Rev. R. F.

All the works/ are "entirely dependent upon the Union Credit" for their success, since Ireland could not possibly obtain funds for carrying them through on her own credit. With the exception of these special advantage, the Irish people are governed in exactly the same way as the English people. Their County Councils and local bodies are elected in precicely the same way as they are in England. Their influence in the Common Parliament is really greater than that of the English or Scottish people, since their representation is vastly in excess of what they are entitled to on a basis of population. The only way in which the Irish are misgoverned *is the fault of the Executive and their own leaders. Since in -1906 the protection of life and property in Ireland which the law secures to the people of England, has not been what it should be. Mr. justice Madden, at the assi-es in Galway. 1911, "complained of the intimidation, by which witnesses wore deterred from coming forward to give information in aid of the administration of justice to safeguard- li'e and property in the country. Until the country was purged from this poison by which it was now infecieo the protection of all its inhabitants, in the employment of the ...-dii-:i:y rights of free citizens, by the detection and punishment of crime would be impossible." Not a year passes but the said list of brutal and cowardly crimes is added to. So long as order and tran quility are not secured the charge of misgovernment in Ireland may be brought, but it cannot be laid to the charge of the Union. J. C. WRIGHT.

(From the News-Advertiser.) , In an boor's address to West Point Grey Conservative Association on Monday night, Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P., dwelt upon several questions of vital interest to this city. On the Hindu question he said: "By means of the Order-in-Council passed in Ottawa prohibiting the entrance of laborers through the ports of this province until March 21 next the government Is in a position to take time to consider the question raised by the recent legal judgment on the Hindu immigration, jt wiir effectively deal with the matter for the time being and prevent any wholesale influx of Asiatics. The action was token to protect British Columbia until such time as a permanent and satisfactory policy can be promulgated." He dealt at some length with the Asiatic question, advancing arguments why such Immigration should be stopped from Industrial; hygienic, citizenship and other view-points. Canada with its population of 8,000,000 was confronted by the danger of being overrun by a combined Asiatic population of 800,000,000. The lid shouid be put on tight Docks at Kitsilano He had hoped that work would be started in the construction of docks in Kitsilano Reserve before this, but unforeseen difficulties had cropped up and until these were settled the work would be held back. There was sufficient land there for docks, railway terminals and industrial sites. Work Vould be started on the government dock in North Vancouver at an early date aa well. In regard to the proposal which had been advanced in some quarters tt������*t docks should bet constructed on tbe Spanish Banks in front of point Grey, the speaker said be was opposed to the plan. For one thing* tbat site waa too tar from tbe business centre bf tiie city. He advocated tbat tbat part; of Point Grey should be set aside for a public parte. He enumerated briefly some of tbe important legislation of tbe present government and referred to what' ft was doln gfor tbe development of the national ports, in connection with tbe Improvement in Toronto harbor, it was stipulated in the government estimates tbat tbe 35,000,000 feet of fir required should be British Columbia fir. This was at Mr. Stevens' suggestion, and tbere was a provision ln all the contracts for public buildings here that B. C. materials should,be used whenever possible. Another Important work being carried on by tbe government through tbe grain commission was the construction of grain elevators. Some ot tbem would be erected in Greater Vancouver., He advocated the construction of a railway from Vancouver to the Peace River country to open up the great hinterland of tbe province. There was a proposal on foot in the States to build a line from Alaska through British Columbia, but it was not in the Interest of tbe province or this city to assist In the construction of an American road. Seattle had stolen a march on Vancouver during the Klondike rush, but It must not be allowed to do so again. Narrows Bridge In reply to a question from the audience, he de.alt with the Second Narrows bridge project. He was in favor of the company going ahead with tbe bridge at once. The bridge company had bonding power of $750,060 which was sufficient to complete the bridge with the money already promised. There was no necessity for selling these bonds now. The work could be started in the meantime. The bonds would sell all right because they would be practically first mortgage bonds.

Shore Lumber Co. * ..-*' LIMITED INFLUX OF HINDU8 IS NOW IMPOSSIBLE Ottawa, Dec. 8.���������As was forecasted by your correspondent the government has taken prompt and drastic action in dealing with tn*e Hindu problem at the Coast. An Order-in-Council was passed by the Cabinet today prohibiting until March 31, the entry to British Columbia of all artisans and laborers.. The order Is general in its application and is not restricted to, any particular race or people coming from any particular country. ";���������'.. Officially the reason set fbr the government's action is the present congested condition of labor on the Pacific Coast; however, what has brought the matter to a head is the Hindu question arising out of tbe judgment of Chief Justice Hunter of British, Columbia, declaring ln the effect tbat the restrictions heretofore imposed by the government,, in respect to immigrants of this class are untenable and not constitutionally operative. Situation 8srlous. This opene.d the door with an influx of Hindus.* The government realized that the situation was serious as there was nothing to prevent whole shiploads of Hindus from entering. British Columbia, precipitating possibly an Imperial crisis. The government decided tp avail it* self of section 38, which gives wide and drastic powers. In excluding, immigrants and the. present Order-in- Council was passed. The government has been careful In dealing with the situation not to discriminate against race or.nation. This order consequently is madegeneral In its application and effects, for instance, the, United States as niuch as any other country, aa immigration via border ports into British Columbia is also prohibited. Temporary Expedient "The present ls a temporary expedient called forth by tbe exceptional conditions prevailing on the, Pacific Coast and ita tenure is only until tbe end of March. In the meantime an endeavor will be made to work out a permanent solution of this vexatious problem. Tbe matter will be taken np with tbe Imperial authorities as. in addition to tbe relation of tbe Hindus, who are British subject*, must be considered tbe 'fact that Japan and Great Britain bave a treaty. Tbe order will effectually atop any possible influx for the present snd at tbe same time furnish the government witb tbe necessary time tor consideration of tbe whole question, wbicb admittedly is now tree from difficulties. Wording of Order. Tbe Order-in-Council is couched in the following terms': "H. R. H. tbe Governor-General-in* Council, under and in virtue of the provisions of subsection 3 of section 38 ot tbe Immigration Act 9-10 Edward VII, and in view ot the present overcrowded conditions o the labor market In British Columbia, is pleased to make tbe following order: 'From and after tbe date hereof and until after the Slat day of March, 1914, the landing of any port of entry in British Columbia herein after specified of any immigrant of any Pf the following classes or occupations, namely, artisans, laborers (skilled or unskilled) shall be, and the same is hereby prohibited^" The order then specifies all. of the ports of entry ln British Columbia as coming under Its terms���������News-Advertiser.
