An editorial sausage machine on one of the eastern papers, not more than a Sabbath day's journey from the Canadian clearing house for religion, oozes over three- quarters of a column in a terrifying manner concerning the way in which certain American settlers in the Peace river district are waving the Stars and Stripes and declaring their nationality to all and sundry in that new field of agricultural endeavor. The squib purveyor in question wants to know if the Americans up there intend to annex that portion of Canada to the United States, calls their gall sublime, intimates tbat Japan can lick Uncle Sam, suggests that the U. S. never had a war of anv consequence except a family row back in '61, puts in a few "Godforbids," 'Great Wests," "as of yores" and winds up panting. Altogether it's really some effort, yes sir, some effort, but the weather's too hot for that kind of guff and, moreover, it doesn't draw any water with anybody except a few faded relics of humanity who haven't anything left to do but sit around and imagine the worst possible things' that could happen and never will. Just that sort of stuff which this editorial writer peddles is what isn't needed nowadays. There is no chance of annexation of Canada to the U. S. and the Americans know it. They know it so well and they prize Canada so highly as she is that they're investing millions here annually, which is sufficient guarantee in itself that there'll never be any serious trouble between the two countries, because modern diplomacy is based on dollars. Nowadays you can learn anything by correspondence except how to make a living. Jinriksha owners in Japan are putting pneumatic tires on their vehicles. This will not have any serious affect on the local manufacture of gin rickies. Some of the states in the union just forninst our southern border are paying pensions to widowed mothers. It's a good system if the insurance men don't kick. If the trustees want real, distinctive British Columbian names for any new schools, a label like Cultus Johnny school, or Skookum Dan school would stand out prominently. There's a proposal to the front to beautify the Panama canal Avith statues, monuments, arches. It would look a lot better if it were decorated with the tolls prescribed in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The longest fence in the world, twelve hundred miles in extent, is in West Australia where it forms an effectual barrier to rabbit raids, says an Antipodean paper. How about the great wall of China? A Regina man has come home from England with ���what he says is one of the shoes worn by Captain Scott in his South Pole expedition. This paper's advice to him is not to tell that story in Missouri. The Minneapolis chief of police refuses to load himself with the censorship of women's apparel. He doesn't mind handling drunks, but he draws the line at trying to put an ���embargo on Dame Fashion's whims. A lawyer got a drunken ex-Royal marine off in Toronto's police court the other day by quoting a chunk of Kipling. Now it's up to some of the local habituals to try n little Paradise Lost on Magistrate Edmonds.

He was selected in November, 1911, and in explaining Ihe system ol i civic government, he says: "The lord provost is elected fnr jthr. o years just as the members of the council are. Hut one-third of th-.'in retire annually, so that there are always two-thirds left to insure a continuity of policy. We have found this system to work very well Indeed." "Let Glasgow flourish' is a motta which Mr. Stevenson hus dine his manful best to make good. It is his great and vital Interest in the city which has prompted his visit to Canada, The ostensible motive might ��� a-ily be termed i|iiixot-e. It Is this: During the pasi few months Btories In various Scottish and Kngiish newspapers have gained the car of the people to the effect thai the Immigration Into Canada is becoming greaUy overcrowded and that there is a llkell- hood of great distress prevailing among those who leave for the west this year. So wide a credence have those reports gained among the canny I citizens of Glasgow that the lord pro- veil has received hundreds of letters asking him for advice on the subject and In many oasi s imploring him lo disB"adf olTi.o.i.ilv emigration from : the Clyde.

"What conclusion have yen arrived at?" he was quest'oned this morning, "I have con-.e to the conclusion that my Canadian friends were JuSIftled In their Btatement," he replied. "Although I can quite see thai it must b" hard for those who go for the f rs: time in'o tho reu-.ole districts to a life to which they arc unaccustomed.

A Comparison. Comparing lhe average yearly amount .that can be earned at Hns maximum by motormen and oonduo- U.rs working reasonable bonis each week, with what ean be earned by, say-est-penteis employed In the building trade in Vancouver, ihe evidence adduced before the board convinces the undersigned that the first named ainuiini would be very considi rably greafor than the second, lt is true that carpenters get a higher rate of pay whilst acl ually at work, but theli average yearly earnings are kept down partly through lack of continuous employment and mainly because climatic conditions stop almosl entirely building operations during several months ill the year. The majority have not overlooked the argument of the men lhat when carpenters arc not Wl rking lhey are not co- opera'tfng with their employers in the' production of wealth and that their share of sueh wealth is fixed bv th" rate per lutur paid them which Is higher 'than 35 eenls, but in the opinion of the undersigned under present economical conditions in the fixing of the hourly wage for carpenters the fact that hmg periods of enforced idle p"ss is an unavoidable incident or tlle trade, is allowed Inr. 1.1k' wise, it appears certain that a large numlier of employees ill the civil service ot liritish Columbia receive per annum a I * ss wage ihan ean be so earned by motormen and conductors; and lhat this Is also true or a com- ivirison between their earnings and those cf a large number or store mul office mal" employees at the coast. It is true that the city of Vancouvi i* pays i Miliary laborers 87H cents per hour for municipal work, but the great hedy or such laborers are not g.ven continuous work the year r uud and furiher ii will hardly be denied that factors other than economic and business laws influenced the fixing of such rate. Nor, the undersigned think, will It he controverted thai a city with ils power of raising funds by taxation al will within certain limits is in a far different position ' rrom a company which has no such unfailing reservoir to draw upon, when, w,tii to boiince accounts. Thc company further point out that as shown by their wage schedule sheets, men in receipt of this 35 cents per hour rate s nil able to lak" time orf to a very considerable ex ten'. The arrangement of wcrk'ng the British Columbia Elec'ric ra Iway is such as to make it lo a large extent optional with a man whether he wcrk or net. Inasmuch as an extra force of 20 per cenl. of the total payroll is maintained by the company; "nd anyone desiring to take time off has no rely to arrange with some >\\ tra man to take his run. Th" llntish Columbia Electr'c Railway company Limited being thc only tramway system worthy of lhe nine in liritish Columbia, it is necessary to go afield to institute the second proposed comparison. In so doing, of course, the cost of living in the cities compared, as contrasted with the cost cf living in Vancouver, Victoria and j New Westminster, must he taken into account. The maximum raid on the systems Closest to that of the British Columbia Railway Company Limited is yei-y 'considerably below theirs; notably, in Everett, Seattle, Portland and Spokane, The hoard has no reliable data , as to ihe presenl eost of living in these cities. In Canada, the nearest syst,m that can be compared with the liritish Columbia Electric Rallwav Company, Limited, Is thai of Winni- pi ���,. The maximum thi re is 34 ci n - per hour, which is the highest in Canada except thai of the British C ��� lumbia Electric, so far as the tvi- dence showed. It is argued thai lho !cest of living in Winnipeg lai n i Increased pn portl nately, and ii is i not as high as it is in the cities of Vancouver, Victoria and New We;t minster. This contention is ma niy based cn the calculations of Mr. Cot-i- worth, which are* founded on the re lal prices transmitted to lh" depart- no ni of labor monthly, by representatives in lhe various cit.es in Canada. To a certain extent, however, these figures involve the personal equation; inasmuch as the prices given are not these of Identical standard articles, ;but are those of classes of articles, *aiid obviously the judgment of different individuals will vary an ti whether articles of a certain pric * (ihould be included In a reri iin class, tl not. An analysis or the Winnipeg Olid coast ci y ligiires fail.; t*i con- ���i.iin ilu* undersigned thai such ex- (as? in ihe cost of living really ex isis; or if i' does, certainly not ta such au extent us to absorb entirely in" --tieiitlr.ilnl earning of coast employees because of tin- extra cent p i hour paid tm ni.

It will certainly be very considerably higher than the average schedule of.Everett, Seattle. I'ortlunil ami WlifhlpegS and. in consequently, lln undersigned find themselves unable to alter the gradation, except as above staled. Interurban Men. Wiih regard to Interurban conductors und motormen, it Is to be noted that three or four such systems in Uu- United States do pay a flat rat", which, .ihen compared with the average ral, paid by the British Columbia (Electric Railway Company Limited. It higher These systems, however. operate under conditions with which tin- undersigned are not entirely conversant. A comparison of the aver- age wage under the iintish Columbia Electric Railway company Limited schedule With the average paid on the inlerurhan'systems generally In Canada and the United States shows thai I the runner Is considerably higher, j Under the old wage schedule, inter- , urban service was valued at l'i j cents tin hour higher than city and suburban service. The undersigned can si e no just reason for interfering wiih this percentage Tliey hnve cou ! sequently raised up the minimum wage, which was again too low in their opinion, to that basis, and propose to allow the balance of the schedule to stand as it was. As lo the car barn and shop depart- \\ ment, a comparison between what Is | paid by the ISrilish Columbia Electric | ttailway Company Limited and the Canadian Pacific Railway company which operates somewhat similar I shops and barns In Vancouver, shows thai the former rate is materially higher than the latter; and in tli is connection It is to be remembered that the Canadian Pacific Railway oompany is on a 7 per cent, common stock dividend basis, excluding dlvld ends obtained from its land department It was further shown by tha evidence iii lhe opinion ot the majority. I thai the liritish Columbia Eleotrlc shop schedule compan s favorablv with ilu wages tor like works In shops operated In Vancouver by pr. ! vato Individuals and companies, in some Instances the underslgm l have raised tlle present schedule of ihe liritish Columbia Electric R.i.I way Company Limited, because it seemed to them thai such schedule WBB not a living wage. These remarks also apply io the malntenanc of way men. On the Chilliwack line, tlie ware. had been fixed by a board of arbltri tion whieh sat iu December, 1911, and the undersigned can see no valid rea son for Interfering with Hie award ihen made, if the principles herein outlined are to ha acted upon. It v.as contended cn 1. half of the men that this v.as a railway Hue, and that the schedule of wages should be the Bam ��� , as tbat which obtains on steam rail- ways; but the majority cf the hard are convinced that under presenl c i ditlons. at any rale, this Lne is much more akin to Interurban ira flic than , to steam railway traffic. The difference in degree was recognized ill the arbitration aforesaid by ti' ��� granting rf a somewhat higher wags Bcale; and this, as Btated, il.c maji nty proposed to continue Intact. It may be noted, in cdnclusli n, th*,* the evidence shows thai the British Columbia Electric Ra'lway Company Limited are Inundated wi h applica tions to enter their service, even un d'r the old wage schedule; and there tore the operation of the law of supply and demand appears to be ent r.

There nre ere.-.' deposits of gold-bearing ore around 1 ike Winnipeg, and from there up the WInnlpog river, and through" lha I-ake of the Vi- is country. In ipite or this preseno I gold, many of 1 ithe attempts at gold mining have tall- 2 id. The reason Ior this Is that while thero are some very rich pockets, the great bulk or the ore is low grade, and should thcrerore only be mined In very large Quantities, and with trom 500 to 1,000 stamps. In almost every case where nn attempt has been made to mine Ihls quarts the outfits have been romparalilvely small, and the relative expenditrue has been too great for the possible returns. There Is a considerable revival of Interest In the question at the present time with reference to mining pros- posts on Ihe Hole river and liice lake, situated Just east or Lake Winnipeg. There are about 800 miners and prospectors working In the distritc. and within the yenr over $100,000 in cash has been expended in Winnipeg ror mining equipment. The discovery ol gold In this particular district was made about a year ago, and this time the finders were very quiet ahout It until they were assured of the value of their claims. The discovery was tlrst made by an ex-member of the Hoyal Northwest Mounted Police, and It ts claimed lhat at the present time sou tons ot very .rich quartz, ranging from $15 to $50 per ton in free gold. are lying on the dumps of the Independence mine on the shore* of Uice lake. The opening operation In connection with these mines was carefully done, and It is quite possible that thlp may be the start of real minim-' in this section of the Canadian west. THREE STRANGE MEN STEAL WELSH'S PRIZE BELT History tells us of the wanderings of Christopher Columbus before he located lhe West Indies, Police court history yesterday morning informed Magistrae Edmonds, the city pollce and a few onlookers of the wanderings of Chnsto- bal Caaslo, a Mexican, although of Spanish descent, who looked longingly on the good limes to be had in British Columbia: how, alter two attempts made al White Hock to pass the immigration officials, one of whom disarmed him of his artillery in the shape of a small cannon, an unlimited supply of cartridges and two razors, he finally landid in Westminster only to be picked up as a sneak thief.

The staging of the piece required untiring patience and with a wardrobe that is Feldom rivalled, it is no wonder that the company firmly es- t-ihlirhed itself in the hearts of Westminster comedy lovers.

He was almost too wrak to walk, on account of his long fast, and the secretary, before talking to the man about his future prospects, took him out and bought him a siiuare meal.

The woman, who Is now over 40 years of age, retains her remarkable beauty to a surprising degree. She married at the age of 16. and lived with her husband for about three years. Becoming a widow, she soon wedded a rich landowner, and succeeded in compelling him to spend large sums upon her. When he was nearly ruin- she left him, but remembered to take all his valuables with her. The next husband was a stock broker, who quickly fell captive to the fair Tetania. Having induced him lo tarnsfer all his property to her. the adventurous beauty sold It and en-aped abroad with a lieutenant, whnni. however she quickly deserted tn order to wed a fascinated Oriental consul. I Seizing all the consul's realizable possessions his "wife" left him post haste and returned to Russia by mo-ms of a stolen passport. Here she was wooed and won by an Important official. Again she left her latest "husband," after abstracting -all portable valuables, but this time she waa caught and exiled to Siberia.
