Morgan Sinister, American financial adviser to the Persian Gov- ernuu'tit. ���������A- letter was 1 ecei ved last week- by General Manager G. P. Jones from Harry Yates who is at present on one of the tributaries of the Congo. He is in charge of a placer mining enterprise for an English company and his working force consists of seven white- men and some 40 blacks, all of the latter rank cannibals and practically no earthly good as laborers. A cubic yard of dirt per man per day is all he can get out of them as laborers and a plentiful application of the club to get that. But they have to be employed, as white labor is not available, the cost of getting in provisions and other supplies being almost-prohibitive Avhile the blacks can live on bananas, eat animals and each other. Supplies for Avhite men all ciiuie from \"Europe and cost for traiisportalion from two and a half to;three times the original cost of the articles. It-costs'-his \"company. $1500 a year to board a white man in that' camp and the blacks cost $-1.00 per month foi- board and wages, of which $1.50 is the \\vage proportion of the monthly outlay. The latitude of the camp where he is working is \"only two degrees from the equator and the direct rays of the siin' are dangerous to whites', but blackwater fever and sleeping sickness are the cause pf-1110.se of the deaths among, the '.whites/ ���������/\"'.\" ���������,: ��������� - ��������� Working under their present difficulties nothing'joss: than 90c gravel is payable but Avith better labor he can see where 15c gravels should be payable. The cannibalistic tendencies of his turtle doves are referred to in terms that sound like drawing along bow and one is constrained to wonder at first whether he may not be \"grirnly. gaily guying us,\" but we guess it is all right. For instance he tells that the excuse a black man will give to get off to go home is that \"his mother is dead and he wants to go home to ciit up the meat and dry it or someone else may have her eaten up before he gets there and he will starve.\" Harry, mild-mannered man that he was, has apparently had all the milk of-human kindness ooze out of - his nature and he longs for what he calls \"the good old days of the atrocities\" before humanitarians raised Cain with Leopold, -King of the Belgians and had the voluntary labor law passed. The efiect of the passing of this law has been to cause a drop in the monthly output of gold from the placers from $80,000 to $30,000 and a greater drop still in sight. As soon as the nigger found out that he didn't have to work he wouldn't Avork so long as bananas could be had in plenty and he could knock over some other chap and eat him. .White over-seers do not pretend to obey the law as it reads, and to get any work out of the black man and avoid figuring on his bill of fare he has to maintain the rule of the Mauser and the club. Harry's old time longing for big game should now be satisfied even though he has to complain that the forest is so dense with rubber trees, vines and creepers that one cannot often see more than ten yards ahead. The big game available include pig, buffalo, antelope, elephants oka-pi and lions. Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 1���������James B. McNarnara, through his counsel, today pleaded guilty to the murder of Chas. J. Haggerty, a machinist killed in the explosion which wrecked the Times building on Oct. 1, 1910. McNarnara, with his brother, John J. McNarnara, were jointly indicted for the murder of 19 of the 21 Times' victims. Just before the time of the reconvening of the court a big crowd surged into the chamber. Almost the entire stall\" of the district attorney's office came to the court room. The inclostire where the attorneys were seated was also crowded with their friends, it being evident that a big sensation was expected; John J. McNarnara pleaded guilty to aiding the destruction of the plant. They will be sentenced on Dec. 5th. James B.McNamara will probably get life imprisonment. John J McNaniara, it was rumored, will get 14 years. AVHAT DAK.ROAV SAID \"If I'd haye seen,, any Avay out of it we would not have done it,\" said Attorney Clarence S. DarroAV. \"We had it under consideration since a Aveek ago Monday. I'm glad it is all over Avith,\" said Mr. Darrow with a sigh. \"We've been working on this foi- two Aveeks and it has been the greatest strain .of .my life.

Every loophole was gathered in by the state. As far as I am concerned I felt that sooner or later it had to corrre. Things were happening in Avhich big people are interested. The movement was impelling. They wanted it cleared up and feared further bloodshed unless we obliterated the incident from Los Angeles at once. Of course, I feel I have helped the McNamaras by getting thenr to plead in so far as they probably will not be sentenced to death.\" Life imprisonment will be meted out to James B.

C. Dear Sir ^ Your paper of November 16th, containing the report of the proceedings at the Canadian Highway convention held here this month has just been placed on my desk. I wish to thank you for the space you are giving to this movement, and assure you that we appreciate fully the hearty support given us by the newspapers throughout Canada. This is a sure sign that the proposal to construct a good road from Coast to Coast is meeting with the approval of the men who mould public opinion. This it, half the battle. I feel that you will expect some reply to the comments you make in your editorial column, where you counsel this Association to conduct itT self with more humility. I appreciate your criticism, all the more because rt is the only one that has'been brought to my notice. Your intimation' that it is apiece of arrant nonsense that country roads intended primarily for the use of settlers in isolated valleys should be built : on the Automobile Highway standard, will not meet with any.strong.argument in rebuttal. Before proceeding to reply to your criticism I submit this resolution, passed at the Canadian Highway Association meeting; the only one from which you could have gathered that it Was the intention to ask the government to make grants only to roads conforming to what you term the \"Auto Highway Standard. Resolved���������That ih the opinion of this association it would be advisable for the provincial government to fix a standard for roads to the construction of which assistance will he given, and to adopt regulations under which the grants so made shall be at a certain rate per mile���������the said rate to be in accordance with the standard of the proposed road���������and that the work on such roads shall be performed to the satisfaction of the provincial department of Public Works before the grant is paid, and that the president and secretary prepare and forward to the Honorable the Ministor of Public Works a memorial embodying the above suggestion. I will call your particular attention to the words \"the work on such roads shall he performed to the satisfaction of the provincial department of Public. Works.\" This leaves the matter of paying the grant entirely in the hands of that department and no one would for a moment suggest so radical a course as to take away this power from the proper officials. Our chief object is to get good roads built. This resolution is meant to pave the. way for some arrangement whereby the. money expended on roads must he properly expended and not, as has been so often the case in the past, practically wasted because of the lack of proper supervision. A knowledge that the grant would be assured if the most work had been gotten out of the expenditure would be a great incentive for the building of perma- positions as Samuel Gompers and others repeatedly have charged me nt.���������t roads. 1 ean assure vou there was no in ten MEANING OF CHINESE NAMES ('.

' '���������'���������'���������' EDITORIAL COMMENTS The Gazette lias received; a communication from the.Provincial archi- .- yist disclaiming any -responsibility for the loss of records relating to the early histoiA* of the province which were destroyed in the recent fire in the Hibben block in Victoria and explaining that the documents-in question had never been in the archives but were till' private property and in the possession of the Pioneers' Association and local post-of the Native. Sons. The Gazette is pleased therefore to make this explanation and we regret tliat'onr criticism of two weeks ago which was written on the strength of a- newspaper despatch the wording of which was too obscure to convey a sufficiently clear idea, of what particular documents were meant, may have tended to discredit the security of the Archives department or place censure where it- was not deserved, for we have, every reason to believe that the Provincial Archives department is worthy of aH'confidence.and is in good hands. The founding of such a. department was a praiseworthy step on the part of the provincial government and one. 'which should have been taken long ago. Pioneers' associations are capable ofdoingalot of good in the matter of collecting data hearing upon the early settlement of the various districts, but all the greater responsibility rests upon those who may be temporarily custodians of historical documents thus collected. In this case the culpability of the Pioneers' association was all the greater in that the government had provided fire-proof vaults in which the records of the association might have been kept and they made no effort to take advantage of it. The circumstance also should drive home the lesson to all who may have in their possession valuahle- historical documents and show them the advisability of losing no time in sending them to the Provincial Archivist and thus guard against all danger of loss. ity- On the other hand it may prove ' a blessing in disguise; and it certainly ; should, for it should show to all labor i organizations the necessity for self- 1 -'\"'-.. I examination and, in cases where it is 'j needed, the necessity for house-clean-- ! ing , so that the control of the organizations may bo be taken out of the, hands of the thug element and transferred to worthier men of higher aims and'morals. In a measure it is unfortunate that the McNaniara case should terminate with the pleading of the guilty parties, for it might have been to the interests of the public and particularly of the labor organizations to have had the case go on and all the evidence, which Dai-row has admitted \"was overwhelming.\" come out. These men who are libw confessed murderers were at the. head of what was seemingly a reputable labor- organization and it Avould be instructive, to say the 'least,, to learn Iioav they were able to hoodwink those who have, been putting up the money for them. Disease is only treated from .symptoms and a, full ventilation of tiie work of these men might disclose some symptoms that would prove of infinite value to the better element in the labor organizations and aid them most materially in the needful .work of. house-cleaning. .... 'AT IT HERE SIIICE 19001 A GOOD IDEA It's a good idea to have some money wherp you can get it if you need it. * ' * Account in A Savings Six weeks were consumed' in securing three jurymen for the .McNaniara' trial. Since that''they have made a little better headway- and now, at the end of two..months they have secured eight in all. Now it lias been ascertained that some of the jurymen thus secured have been bribed to secure acquittal. Is it any wonder that Taf t has gone on record that the adiiiinist-! tration of justice in the United States lias become a farce. In the British'Empire in some quarters there are heart-burnings because some say \"English\" when they mean \"British\", but in the case of our cousins to the south they have got into the habit of calling themselves \"American\" when they should say \"United Statesei\" or \"Usonian\" or some other more applicable name. Does this serve to illustrate the difference in modesty between the two peoples, or is it only an instance of the invincible stupidity of human kind who apparently can never be : taught to say just what they mean? wu���������c WORK T0Q.
