Then he concludes bis findings\n\"the question before me and upon\nwhich-the whole case turns is 'Was\nthe shelter in which the man stood\nand where he had a perfect right to be\nat the time in the course of his employment so situated that persons\nstanding therein ran a peculiar risk\nfrom snow slides?' I would hold if\nthe matter were before me for a final\nhearing that persons within the shelter ran no special risk from an ordinary snow slide occasioned by abnormal conditions of weather, and I would\ntherefore dismiss the application.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Apparently therefore tne learned Arbitrator has directed himself that as a\nmatter of law, because the snow slidu\nwas not occasioned, by \"normal causes\" but by \"abnormal, conditions of\nweather\" therefore he was bound to\ndismiss the application.

He has found, that the cause of\nthe accident was a snow slide and that\nhad it been occasioned by normal\ncauses the applicant should succeed.\nHe could only succeed, I take It, because he would be specially affected\nby reason of his employment, that is\nexposed to extra hazard because he\nwas at the work where lie was. How\nthat position of affairs can be altered\nby the snow slide being caused by abnormal conditions of weather I fail to\nsee, since the governing factor is the\nspecial exposure which Mould be as\noperative in the second instance as in\nthe first.

The Socialists in Parliament and the unions have\nworked for years for the measure.\nA gauge that will show the presence of poisonous gas in the atmosphere by as much as th'e proportion\nof one to ten thousand has been invented by a Frenchman'named Guasco\nwho has named it the \"toximeter.\" It\nis described in La Nature by G. Chal-\nmares, who notes that it is particularly intended' to give warning of the\npresence of carbonous oxide-gas;'otherwise called carbbn monoxide\u00E2\u0080\u0094the gas\nthat burns with a' blue flame in a\nfreshly made fire of anthracite coal.\nThe greatest care, Mr. Chalmares remarks, must be taken in the Installar-\ntion of a heating or lighting plant\nto avoid the production of this sub-\ntance. ,\nAs translated for The Literary Digest, Mr. Chalmares writes:\n\"Other gases, such as carhuretted\nhydrogen and acetylene, happily betray their presence by their odor long\nbefore a fatal dose is reached.\n\"It is not so with carbonmonoxide\nwhich has no odor and is very poisonous, even in very slight quantities.\nFor this reason many attempts have\nbeen made to discover means to make\nIts presence known in air intended\nfor respiration before fatal consequences have been reached. Chemical\nreactions have generally been employed\u00E2\u0080\u0094a delicate process sometimes\ntoo sensitive and necessitating manipulations which, although \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 simple\nenough^can not always be performed.\n\"Mr. Guasco has conceived the idea\nof utilizing the property possessed hy\nplatinum sponge of becoming rapidly\nheated in the .presence of carbon\nmonoxide, which it absorbs in large\nquantities. This property has been\npractically utilized, for several years\nfor lighting gas-jets, and for a long\ntime past in the hydrogen briquet\n\"He has thus invented a device necessitating no \"manipulation. It is\nformed of a Leslies differential thermometer, which, as is well known, is\na U tube ending in two bulbs full of\nair; a mercury column oi a section of\ncolored liquid is displaced in the tube\nat the slightest difference of temperature between the two bulbs. Mr.\nGusco fastens to one of the bulbs ten\npastilles of .platinum sponge; the corresponding' side of the tube is covered\nand the other branch is graduated.\nWhen the apparatus is in a medium\nco a medium containing carbon monoxide there is a difference of temperature shown almost Instantly by a\nmovement of the column, which ' is\ngreater and more rapid the more of\nthe poisonous gas there is in the atmosphere. Evidently other gases, illuminating gas for instance, will have\nthe same action, but they will also be->\ntray themselves by their odor. It is\nthus for carbon monoxide that the ih- \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\ndications of the toximeter wilP be\nvaluable. The French Inspector-General of Mines lias presented the device to the Academy of Sciences after\nhaving experimented with it successfully.\n\"On his part, Mr. Guasco has made\nnumerous experiments, from which he\nfinds that the movement'of the gauge\nin the U tube is about half an inch\nfor the proportion ot 1-1,000 of carbon\nmonoxide, which makes it possible to\nuse graduations that will show 1-10,000\nof the toxic gas.\n\"In a special model the inventor has\nmercury for the indicating column and\nhas .placed a platinum, contact-point in\nthe tube. This closes an.electric circuit and operates either a, bell or an\nincandescent lamp, thus giving notice, \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\neven at a distance, by sonorous or luminous signal ,that there is danger\nfrom the abnormal presence of poisonous gas.\". -\" . ' .\nThe Workers' Union of England,\ncomposed of unskilled and general laborers, which was originally organized\nby Tom Mann, Is forging to tho front\nin a rapid manner. For several years\nthe union remained in a dormant condition, with a membership around 10,-\n000. Then Its ; general * secretary,\nCharles Duncan, was elected as a Labor member to- Parliament and a systematic campaign of publicity was also undertaken, with tho result that the\nmembership began to increase in\njumps until now it is over 40,000 and\nstill going up.\nr\n1\u00E2\u0080\u00942\nN.\n35 degs 100 ft. 13.\n2\u00E2\u0080\u00943\nN.\nS3 degs 30 ft.

J take it for granted\nthat our fellow worker by referring to\n\"agreements\" means \"time agreements,\" that is an agreement entered\ninto by a. body of workers with their\nemployers for a certain period ,say,\ntwo or three years, for a definite wage.\nIn plain words, a time-agreement\nmeans that the workers who enter into\nit pledge themselves to deliver their\ncommodity, labor-power, to the buyers\nof this commodity for a number, of\nyears at a stipulated price, regardless\nof the rising prices of other commodities. A casual observer may-find\nnothing wrong in this and may even\nthink that it is beneficial to the workers to do so. 9 That this is a grave\ndelusion, I will endeavor to show in\nthis short article, and as the question of time agreements entered into\nbetween employer and employee is of\nvital importance to the labor movement as a whole, l would like to see\nother members of our orgqnization\nvoice their opinions on this question\nthrough the columns of our press, so\nthat we may,come to a clear understanding on this matter.\nNeedjess to say the writer of this\nis absolutely opposed to the signing\nof time-agreements by any organized\nbody of workers for any length of\ntime or under any circumstances\nwhatsoever. It is illogical in the extreme to think that the workers could\ngain anything by delivering their labor-power for a number of years at a\nfixed price, when we know for a fact\nthat- no other commodities will re-\nmain stationary during this period.\nThe cost of living is going up by leaps\nand bounds, and why we, contrary to\nall common sense, should keep on\nworking for the same rate of wages is\nbeyond my comprehension. That an\nagreement will protect our wages in\nperiods of industrial crisis and depression is often the assertion of advocates of time agreements, and'may\nat the first glance seem plausible, but\nas a matter of fact we find that this is\nby no means the case. \"We find that\neven in times of socalled prosperity\nour employers encroach on our sacred\nagreement and violate it any time they\ncan do so with impunity, and we all\nknow through bitter experience that\nin times of industrial depression the\nagreement is only an empty phrase to\nour beloved masters. l '\nThe whole question is one. of\n\"Might.\" If we have the might to\nmake our masters live up to the letter\nof the agreement there is not the\nshadow of a doubt that they will do so,\n\"otlTefwiseT-ButTf weliaye~tlfe might\nto enforce our agreements do we then\nneed an agreement at all? The exploiters of labor have nothing to lose\nby entering into an agreement with\ntlieir slaves; to them it is a matter\nof \"Heads I win; tails you lose!\"\nSo far I have pointed out the uselessness of tho time agreement; I will\nnow show that they are not only useless but detrimental and noxious, as\nwell to the workers. If we take our\nown organization for an illustration we\nsee how well time agreements work\nfor the benefit of the coal operators\nand that thoy are used by them to\nkeep us in bondage and pitt us against\nour own fellow craftsmen in time of\nstrikes. Here Is whero the beauty\nof tlio agncment systpfj comos in.\nThe capitalists in dcalirg with their\nemployees have learned many wily\nways, for JnMancp thev have frequently refused to recognize the union or\nJwv'j any datillns with i' on the ground\nthat lnbor unions arc irresponsible nnd\nihat the mon will lire&k the. agreement\nontorod Into with tho offlcors of the\nunion. 'This trick has worked well,\ntho union officers have become very\nproud of Uio Integrity of thoir organizations, thoy havo bocomo vory jeni\nous of tho fidelity of tho union to Us\nagreements with tho omployerfl, evi\ndently not realizing that by doing so\nthey pl%y into the hands- of the master-class. By entering into an agreement with our t;mij|(,; c-ra. for say two\nor three years is euual to giving a two\nor three' years notice of strike. The\nemployers could provide for this event\nby piling up hundred-thousands tons\nof coal all over the country. But this\nis not even necessary today, as the\nagreements of the different districts\nof the U. JI. W. of A. expire at different time, but practically all expire\nin the spring of the year, when the\ndemand for coal is at a minimum.\nTherefore, if one secio;i goes .on a\nstrike the other keeps on wo'rking and\nsupplying the market. (Witness Vancouver Island, West Virginia, etc.)\nThis well known fact., oven Ihe most\nzealous defender of time agreements\ncannot dispute; he will hi'vp to admit\nthat the workers novor gained, and\nnever wiil \u00C2\u00A3iin anytihi*.; by pntenn-,'\ninto an asreo.iieiii with tlieir exploiters. On the contrary, any labor union\nwho advocates and cl'iiqis to Am c\:>\nlete method of agreements and who\nforces its membership to obey and ne\nruled by it, retrogrades.\nAnother serious feature of the time?\nagreement is that it kills the incentive\nand tho fighting spirit of the membership. The men know too well thac\nthey arc bound down by this cursed\nthing for a number of years and that\nany effort on their behalf to better\ntheir conditions in the meantime will\nbe repulsed by their officers. They\n.(the members) therefore, pay their\ndues and don't bother about, the affairs\nof their organization any farther, they\nare members in name only, ancl mostly do not even'attend the meetings.\nThis state of affairs would be radically changed if the men knew that no\nagreement was keeping them back,\nthat all they had to do would be co\nwatch their opportunities to wrest a\nlarger share of their product from\ntheir masters. Nothing makes a\nmilitary army so efficient as engagements with thc^ enemy; the sai;n applies to the army of producers.\nNo time agretsmer-t sbnuld be mide\nby any labor organization with any\nemployer which will bind the workers\nto work against the interests of any\nother wage earner under any circumstances whatsoever. If we, were forced by economic necessities to sign an\nagreement for any length of time, we\nshould hold it as sacred as our employers do\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, break it at any\ntime most convenient to us. Always\nremember that \"the working class and\nthe employing class have nothing in\ncommon\" There can be no peace as\nJongas Jiunger and want are found\nmust be. One was surprised to learn\nthat they .were still working\" the mines\nthere after the drafts that American\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ipines were making upon the community. .Why the change?\nThe truth seems to be that the\ngreater heat and the poorer ventilation\nthat have come with greater depth\nhave made the work much more trying and harder than it was before,\nwhile the increase iu the cost of living\nhas made mining less* enticing in regard to the matter of wages than it\nwas; for the rise in prices has been\nmore on the luxuries than it has beeu\non the necessities of life, and the\nminer, owing to the delibitation of the\natmosphere in which he works, must\nhave delicacies to cater to his appetite. . In other words, what are delicacies to workmen spending all their\ntime in good air become necessities\nto miners working in bad air, at a\nhigh temperature and in a moist, debilitating, muggy atmosphere. Observation by many writers who have\nstudied the effect of hot workings\nupon miners in the Comstock lode,\nwhen it was at its zenith, clearly showed this fact. ihe finer tlie fiber of\nthe individual the truer is this stae-\nmont. Therefore, the cost of living\nlias been a factor in driving the American ancl tho better and more intelligent class of immigrants away from\nthe mines.\nThe increasing danger to workmen\nthat has come from the race after tonnage aro other matters which have\nhelped to drive the more intelligent\nclasses of labor away from the mines,\nso that now it is a question of taking\nwhat labor the mines can get, and be\nglad that they do not have to take ahy\nworse.\nThe only races of men that really\nhave ever taken to mining are the\nremnants of the old inhabitants of\nEngland, of the tribes on the island\nbefore the Saxons descended upon it\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094the Cornish, Welsh, and Northumberland men. Those old English people, of all those that follow mining,\nreally are the only ones working in\nmines simply because they love mines\nand like, to work in and about them.\nThe earliest memories of these people\nare of the mines. They talk mines,\nthey think mines, they live mines;\nmines are a second nature to them,\namong millions of working people ami\ntho few who' make up the employing\nclasses must go on until capitalism ir j\noverthrown and the workers \u00E2\u0080\u0094 tho\nonly useful class in society\u00E2\u0080\u0094shall re-1\nceive the full value of their toil. Al. j\ntwaddle about the sacredness of cor-,\ntract and identity of Interest between I\nmaster and slave is idiocy, and an;-1\nworker who advocates it is either I-: !\nnorant of the true facts, cr 'a traitor.\nto his class. |\nIf is the historic miss.on of tir\nworking class to do away with capital-1\nIsm arid usher in a dario system ct i\nproduction and distribution. The pi--!\nsent anarchistic system of production |\nhas to give way to tha democratic\nmanagement of all Industries and n.u\nurn I resources by tho international nation of wealth producers. This must\nbe the aim and object of a labor organization worthy of tho name. Hut\nnever, as long ns we cling to tlmr\nagreement and other obsoleto methods\n(remainders ot an nntedoiuvlan perlj.i\nof labor organization) can wo roach\nour goal.

NEWNHAM Editor-Manager\nTelephone No. 48 Post Office Box No. 380\n\"GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES.\"\nOn more than one occasion this year thc residents of Fernie ami tlie Pass liave been regaled\nwith the marvelous possibilities of the \"Blue-sky*!\nschsmes that several gentlemen of \"easy life\" have\nplaced liefore thorn, and in one case the promoters\nhad to appear before the authorities and explain\ncertain of thoir dealings. Tliis alone should serve\nas sufficient -warning lo the investor that there are\nthoe who intend to have his money, to have as\nmuch of it* as they can and have it as easily as they\ncan. Tlie worker, as we have remarked, gets\nquite enough skinning from thc employer without\nany assistance from the outsider, and we consider\nit a duty when a flagrant ease is presented to us\nto give same all publicity. \"We recognized from\nthe beginning that the peculiar methods adopted\nby the transient real estate men were sueh that\nmight, possibly appeal to the foreigner and stated\nlast week that he was the individual who we found\nit absolutely necessary to warn. On another page\nwe publish a communication from the Secretary-\nTreasurer of Athabasca Landing, and as we have\nevery reason to believe that this gentleman would\ncertainly not be favorable to \"knocking\" his own\nroost, we must presume that his letter is very good\nevidence of the worth of the real estate that has\nbeen and is being peddled in the Pass. This was\nsold a foreign brother.\nIt is oar intention to be particularly guarded in\nany advertising matter of a real estate nature that\nmay appear in this paper, and even then we do not\nask our readers to purchase same until they haze\nmade the fullest enquiry. If we can assist then\nin this direction we are willing to do so.\nFrom an economic viewpoint we recognize only\n~tocrw'cll^h'ir^ro'rtM'cs^of-tRjostiHg-i<'eifl-5itat5\"Sfr\nfar as the worker is concerned, therefore we maintain that the position of the Ledger is absolutely\nindependent. \"We certainly do not intend to advertise any person, no matter who he may be, .who\nis peddling real estate, and, if .he is doing a legitimate business, we have no intention of knocking\nhim. Any man who has started in the real estate\ngame and given his patrons a, square deal according to the capitalist conception of a \"square deal,\"\ndoes not require boosting or knocking from ns\u00E2\u0080\u0094his\nclients arc his judges; it's up to them to know him.\nThe average individual has a very meagre idea,\nhowever, of the \"development\" of the real estate\nbusiness in Western Canada, and as this is purely\nspeculative\u00E2\u0080\u0094or to get to tacks\u00E2\u0080\u0094gambling, we intend to give a few figures showing the \"chance\"\nthe average buyer of real estate stands.\nTaking tor our first example the city of Calgary\nwe'find that the latter has a town site about si.\\nand a hall! miles square, this will give us roughly\nabout 30 square miles of property on the townsite,\nOutside thc townsite thero is about 251 square\nmiles subdivided. If we multiply the six mi los\nsquare townsite by six wc get in the City of Calgary 36 square miles. This, added to tho 25 square\nmiles outside, gives us 287 square miles of subdivid'\ned property in and ii round tho City of Cnlgary at\npresent. Multiply 287 by 640 and you will got 1'81'i,-\nGS0 ncres; multiply this again by 10 and.ypu will\nget 1,830,800 lots. Assuming tlint a family of the\naverage size of I'ivo occupies each of theso lots, we\nhnvo room for 0,184,000 pooplo\u00E2\u0080\u0094room enough to\naceonimodatetho wholo ppulalhi \u00C2\u00A3 Canada,\n;\s Calgary has boon'subdivided about fourteen\nuilli's across ono can readily understand that h.v\nthe timo this is settled upon Cnlgary will linvo'-n\npopulation twice the size of tho British Knipiiv.\nAVe do not intend to knock Cnlgary or nny othor\ntown, Our idea is only to show tho \"clinni'o\" that\ntho mil estate pureliiisev hns of Hfloiii'iiiK the, on-\nJmiK'od vnluf'H jvhiph the renl est nlo nifcnt H.ilds nut\nas a possibility.\nOn nn a vera go tlie towns of Western Cuiiiidn it]**,-\npear to ho subdivided up about 20 your *in Advance of the population,\nTnl*o a trip, along tho lino botwoon Edmonton\nand Calgnry and see the number of town thnt lmvo\nnpnmg up and mnko a note of thoso that are'at\n' present, so lo speak on the map. Many of I'M'so*\ntank water stations\u00E2\u0080\u0094and we ttiink Red Deer is the\nonly one' of importance\u00E2\u0080\u0094have townsites of two\nand three miles square, they have not shown the\nabnormal growth tliat Calgary and Edmonton ond\nMedicine Hat have, but at some time or the other,\nthe peddler of real estate has prophesied as great\na future for these places (when selling to you a few\nhundred miles away). Therefore, we maintain\nthat the \"chances\" of the gambler in real estate\nare considerably smaller than he has any idea of.\nThus the wouldbe speculator in real estate, if he\nwill but get down to a little figuring, c.v.i very\nsoon ascertain for himself values in \"rural\" sub-\ndr* isions.\nIt would be interesting to know how many subdivision and lots have been registered in Western\nCanada and it is a very safe guess to say that they\nmust approach very nearly nine figure mark, if not\nten.\nAnother feature, and this is the worst, is that it\nis impossible to tell the actual value, of these lots\nwithout you are on the spot; you cannot tell whether ycu are buying sloughj muskeg, swamp or really genuine building lots. Personally we know o^!\nan instance where persons bought lots on the side\nof a hill and as the result of a landslide have found\ntheir lots transferred to their neighbors below. We\nwere never able to learn the result of the litigation\nover this question but believe it was a question\nwhere the top man got beat to it.\nHALF HOLIDAY FOR FERNIE SHOP ASSISTANTS\nThe time, seems particularly opportune to us for\nthe retail clerks of Fernie to put forward their demand for a weekly half holiday., Fernie Board of\nTrade is composed mostly of retail merchants and\nas they seem particularly anxious to guide, the\nworker in his real estate speculations possibly they\nmight be pleased to extend their generosity to their\nown employees. It is a well worn adage \"Charity\nbegins at home.\"\nMr. A. B. Trites, of the Trites-Wood store, today\nexpressed his approval of a half holiday to\nns personally, and if the other merchants are willing we see no reason why the retail clerks should\nnot avail themselves of same\u00E2\u0080\u0094as before\u00E2\u0080\u0094it's up to\nthem!\nA very determined effort is being made by the\nTrades and Labor Congress of Canada to restrain\nthe dumping of penniless emigrants by profit seeking societies. A circular has been addressed broadcast to the Unions in Great Britain and Continent\nas a warning to would be emigrants and it is sincerely hoped that this may be ..the means of preventing a repetition of the despicable tactics adopted by the coal operators on Vancouver Island re-\nTiWtlyTw*h'eTr\u00C2\u00A7iXty^da\"^rarwere~shippe-d-otit-from-\nEngland, in most cases without semblance of .compliance with the Emigration Laws.\nCOMMUNICATED\nBELLEVUE LOCAL No. 431\nTo the Officers .and Members\n, of Local Unions, District No. IS\nGreeting:\nThe undersigned have heen requested by the unanimous vote of the above\nLocal to circularize all Locals in the\nDistrict in behalf of Bro. 1?. Livett's\ncandidacy for the Vice-Presidency of\nDistrict No. 18.\nBro. R. Livett has resided in District\nNo. 18 for seven years, having -worked\nduring that period in Coal Creek,*- Hillcrest and Bellevue mines. He was tha\nfirst President.of Hillcrest Local and\nsigned the first agreement at that\ncamp. Since coming to Bellevue he\nhas held the 'position of Financial Secretary, and also President, which latter position he is occupying at the\npresent time, having been elected by\nacclamation at the last annual meeting. ,. \"\nHe has been a member of the \"Scale\nCommittee\", when that committee was\nselected by the Delegates to the District Convenion, and has been a Delegate to numerous District Conventions,\nincluding the convention which was\ncalled for the purpose of organizing\nthe \"Alberta Federation of Labor.\"\nIt Is difficult in a circular of this\nnature to convey any idea of the\namount of work done, and tbe benefits\nobtained by Bro. Livett for members\nand for the organization.\nFormer members of this Local who\nare resident in the District, will, we\nfeel sure, testify to the ability with\nwhich Bro. Livett handled disputes,-no\ncaso being considered of too trivial a\nnature if it affected a member, or ter J-\ned to injure the organisation.\nAs a consequence, to his watchfulness he has had, like many toi'ore him,\na lot of trouble that affected him personally.\nHaving regard to the present state\nof affairs Jn the District, and recognizing the' necessity of .placing a\nstrong man in the position of Vice\nPresident, we recommend Bro. Livett\nas a painstaking, thorough and capable person, for the office, feeling confident that' should he be elected, the\nmembership will never regret their\nchoice. '\nBellevue's loss, will be District No.\n18's gain.\nWith best wishes for the success of\nthe organizaticm, irrespective of who\nis elected. We \"remain,\nYours fraternally,\nC. H.

T. \"W. Crothers, Minister of\nLabor,, has succeeded in bringing about a settlement of the strike on tho Island. The news item\nstates that it is not probable that any definite settlement will be announced but points will be given\n,away ou both sides which will allow men to resume work on a good basis. There does not, however, appear to be any recognition of the TJ. M. \"W.\nof A. Just exactly what Ihis \"g)od basis\" may\nmean we cannot conceive, bat if it is anything like\nthe basis or agreements that have hitherto prevailed on the Island, then in our opinion the g >od-\nness (?) of tho basis is certainly very questionable.\nFurther we doubt vory much whether the men of\nVancouver Island will sign up an yagroemei.it that\ndoes not contain full recognition of tho U M. W.\noi A.\nTo the Editor, District Ledger.\nDear Sir,:-\nIt is not my intention at this juncture to deal with the merits or demerits of the campaign that is being waged against the real estate men but siiu-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ply to call public attentionto the methods of administering the law in connection therewith,\nTwo young men who have been residents of Fernie for more than seven\nmonths, employees of firms occupying\npremises in Victoria avenue, were arrested on Tuesday evening andcput in\nthe city bastille, In neither case were\nthey when arrested either selling or\nsoliciting and yet were marched off to\nthe lock-up like common thieves. . One\nof the pair was allowed out on a cash\nbail of $150, the other remaining in\ngaol until the following morning -wheu\nhe was brought up beforo Magistrate\nWhimster^and remanded until Monday,\nJuly 21st, then -taken back to his cell\nwhere he remained until Wednesday\nevening an! then releaaed without bail\nbeing Instructed to appear on Thursday morning. This he did. Both parties were discharged,*\nThe bylaw has in the past been more\nregarded In the breach than in the observance because there was evidently\na doubt, existing in the minds of some\nof the civic officials as to its interpretation, in order, however, lo be on the\nsafe side both of those arrested had\nbeen Informed by city officials that\nthey did' not need a license to sell in\nthe municipality so long as they wore\nin the employ ot local firms. Despite\nthis,-and without any warning that a\nchange of interpretation had been arrived at, they were arrested and\nthrown into prison. There-fore hereafter it behooves any who may have\ndoubt regarding the interpretation of\nany bylaw that they consult the City\nSolicitor,for a ruling and thus avoid\nthe possibility of heing summarily imprisoned.\nIt has heen decided that hereafter\nany agent or representative of a firm\nof real estate dealers selling or soliciting within the corporate limits of\nthe city of Fernie shall pay an individual license of $100.00.\nYours very truly,\nJ.
