The Slavery of the Mines.

II·iOmmercs: * • ~ i~ I AI ercer, ~ I «I f10 I (0 oj

Strange facts are coming to light through the im'e:;tigations of the strike commission ill the case of the miners working the G. B. Markle Co's mines, the principal witness called was James Gallagher, who worked in the mines for thirty years. He claimed the wages were so low that he was always in debt to the company, ::md that in Ii years he only once received money in wages, and that was Sso. He further testified that he had to deal with the company store, the only place'where the miners could get credit, and that the prices were from ten to twenty per cent higher than in other places. A tweh'e­year·old breaker boy was called to stand and gave testimony to show that he was working at the :Marble nlJl1es to payoff the debt incurred by his father, who was killed in the mines eighteen months ago. He received no pay, but was gi\'en due bills, showing how llluch his mother owed the company. The due bills also showed that the debt his mothcr was incurring, Stich as house rent; etc., was growing faster than he could reduce it, as he was only getting' four cents an hour. In the face of ' such facts as these one can scarcely blame the miners for striv­ing to better their condition, even if the mea us used might be condem­ned.

I will endeavour to supply every­one who applies to me if they give me time to do so, but if a farmer says "scndme a youth right away," unless' I can start one at once I do not know if the si tuation will be kept open, so do not send anyone. Those who say they will take the boys when I· can send them are sure to be supplied. Farmers who want help se11t by the first party in March should post their letters by January 1St. Yours truly,

Many a boy throughout the English speaking world, will hear with regret that George A. Henty is dead. Boys said his books were great and they outvoted the critics.

-Ir. Henty was 70 years of age and had a. somewhat varied career. While quite YOlmg he went to Cri­mea, where he spent several years a~ chief of the surveyor's depart­ment of the ·British army. After some years spent in mining operat­ions in Italy, he became a war cor­resdondent, and was throngh the Austro Italian, Franco·German and Turco·Servian wars, the Ashanti and Abyssinian· expeditions, and was with Garibaldi in the tyro1. He wrote several novels, but lat­terly he has been chiefly known as the author of boo.ks for hoys, of which he wrote n.1Ore than, 70.

DRAR FRIENDS: We were s.lprised indeed \\%il;

you made us the present of a beauti­ful bible and address. ,Ve cannot find words to express our thanks. for snch, having clone nothing that would deserve so much kincines:1 at your hands, but in accepting" the gift \ye assure you that we will al­ways prize it as the I.]ost valuable of earthly possessions. 'Vhen we take the origin of the order we think it is the noblest of many societies. \Ve feel it "'as a grand stroke when in 1'690 the Prince of Orange strnck . the blow for liberty and broke the fetters of Rome when Protestants could follow the dictates of their own hearts. The blood that was shed on that memorable day was not shed in vain. Now friends accept our heartfelt thanks tor the hand­some gi ft and our prayer will be that the Orangemen of Rossendalc may always stand for Christian lib: erty and true Orangeism and may the cause prosper in every clime nnder the sun. :May; God bles~ you all and keep you true to the Orange condi tions. .

Canada has already f 7,000 miles of raihvuy that cost nearly $9,000-000. She has the longest contin­ual stretch of internal navigation in the world, She has 70 miles of canals, 10,000 post offices; 30,000 miles of, telegraph wire; 18,000 public sch091S; 60,000 men in her lumber camps in winter; 17 univer-· sities; and over 50 colleges; only IS pCI' cent of illiterates; a river over 2,000 miles long; 6,000,000 people of whom nearly 90 per cent ·are Canadian born and only 3 per cent foreign born, the remaincler beilig British born. Canada ranks fourth in the production of gold; has a million square miles of practically unexplored territory; coal beds that will yield over 4,000,000 tons year­ly for 5,000 years.

Canada will have nearly as man)'. transcontinental railways as ih" United States if all the projects now in hand are carried QUt. \Ve ha\'e the Canadian Pacific, and 1,-

500 miles of Canadian Northern. In five years we are to have the GranclTrunk Pacific. The au­notUlcement of that undertaking has brought out a reminder from the Trans-Canada Railway people that they too propose to cross the continent, They claim that their survey from Quebec to Port Simp­son is 5i7 miles shorter than the Grand Trunk's proposed extension westward.

The C. P. R. station agent at Sintaln ta, Assa., was fined $50 . the the other day for violation of the Grain act in not distributing cars in order of applications: The case; been appealed and will be taken to the supreme courts. It has awak­ened great interest throughout the entire·west as upOli the verdict of the colirts stands or falls the Mani­toba grain bill.· 'Commissioner Castle lhid the compla'int at the in­vestigation of the Western Grain Growers association. .

The Methodist anniversary scr­vices held this week were very suc­cessful. The special sermons were well cleli \'ered by the pastor ancl keenly appreciated, wl11le the epi­cures were gratified by the supper on the following evening. A very good entertainment was provided by the local talent, indudlng Pro· fessor \Vaddle's orchestra. The door receipts and collections were also very pleasing to those who care for the financial arrangements. On Monday, Dec. 22ml, the Pres·

Tea will be served to the school at 6 o'clock An in­terestiug and varied programme will be furnished commencing at 8 o'clock, one of the most interesting features of which will be the bring­ing of gifts by the school for needy families in Winnipeg.

Samuel Cook, who was a well known character about tOWI1, suc­cumbed to an attack of bronchitis on Monday morning. He had been ailing for several weeks, but no one in town Euspected that the case was so serious. Sam was an honest old.soul, whose first duty was to pay his debts, and though an In· dian, he was somewhat of a scholar, and could well hold his own, espec· ially on religious subjects. The body was laid to rest at East Tre­herne on Tuesday afternoon.
