During a recent address in San Franeisco Herbert Atkinson gave out Some important facts concerning the advanced legislation put on. the statute books of that dominion. The government, he said, owns and op- erates.the' railroads, doing all repair work 'in its own workshops. The Bovernment owns and operates coal mines, competing in the market with the output of privately owned mines. The govérnment runs a fire and, lite'| Insurance department and competes with private insurance companies-- arty looks most $20,537,287 in 1918. As yet the coal deposits of the province have only been scratched. They are esti- mated at about one-seventh of .the {total known resources of the world, {and ' ¢éonsist {nous and of lignite, high-grade bituminous. { 8mall shipments have been made as | tar east as 'the Ontario boundary. { Mr. McNelll" pointed out that "the | development of Alberta coal de- | posits . laid a foundation for an {industrial movement. which. will | widen thd local market for agricul- tural products, encourage greater production and enhance farm | values. Without ample fuel at com- | paratively 'low prices, few of the | more than 200 manufacturing estab- | lishments in the province (exclusive 4 of mines and sawmills) would have | been possibla.

[ With ample supplies of coal the in- dustrial possibilities of Alberta are very great." Mr. MoNeill, on behalf of the coal | operators of the province, asked for | retention of 'the present tariff {and bituminous slack, pointing out | that the consumption of coal in [Manitoba offers opportunities for {Alberta coal still further to replace | the imported product to the amount of between 2,000,000 .and 3,000,000 tons annually, and that such en- flarged production ("would provide | steady employthent for an additional {2,500 workers in the Alberta mines, | persons in the population of the sub-bitumi- | | support an increase of some 10,000 | | acquainted with reside in holes pro- vided by the foxes A Bolshevist. friend of mine--but jlet me explain."

This conglu- sion has been upheld and strength- ened as a result of the government's tariff enquiry in the west, In a' well- considered statement before the tarift committee, W. F. McNeil, sec- retary of the Western Canada Coal Operators Association, pointed out that government statistics for the calendar year 1919 showed 276 mines in the province, employing 12,027 persons and representing an actual investment of $27,397,275, not including an additional invest- ment of $9,718,600 in abandoned mines, i "Whole communities," he said, "are largely - dependent upon the coal mining industry for their- con- tinued prosperity, add, in many cases, for their actual existence, Col- liery workers in Alberta and their dependents number in excess of 50 000. It is claimed that one-seventht officer who will devote all his time to the work. 'The township board - of health is a thing of the past," he adding that for many rea- sons it is inefficient. Certainly some OF these township boards have .beén - of little use to their communities. mtg iors This good old burg is certainly of the entire population of Edmon- ton and district is supported directly during the winter onths by the wages paid by the 'collieries ang this is only one district.

A safe, wholgsome gov- penditurgs of various kinds and helped to give employment to thou- sands of persons in manufacturing and other occupations. A consider- able proportion of the. total expendi- ture was for products of western Canadian farms. The annual food bill of the mine employees and their dependents is in the neighborhood of $9,000,000. Farmers and home- steaders constitute from thirty-tive to fifty per cent. of the employees of the domestic or lignite mines dur- ing the winter months. The mines in the Edmonton district alone give seasonable employment to atleast 600 homesteaders 'and farmers an- tually, 'and in this way are contri- 'buting toward the extension of the agricultural interests of the pro- vince. Many of these men would bave to abandon their farms if it were not for the employment at 800d' wages offered by the local maz. While the coal mining industry of Alberta is only in its infancy, the mines now in operation are capable of producing 12,000,000 tons per year with their present develop- ment, equipment and plant. It is expected that production this year will total 7,000,000 tons, as com- eat is essential to.

The ground- gs, the chipmunks, 'the squirrels, { hole, a hole in the curtain of the | sky through which they can escape into a warmer and more benignant | sphere. | This life is a great battlefield and [ 1 is pitted with 'oles. There is an ['ole for everybody, but no one is | satisfied with the one allotted to him. | He Is always looking for a better |'ole. Man never is but always to be blegged! At this season of the year man ought to take a lesson from the coon. When a coon adopts an 'ole he stays with it. He doesn't go snooping around and rummaging up- stairs in a neighboring tree to im- pose on another family of coons, just because he thinks that theirs 1s the better 'ole. As a matter of fact when a coon adopts an 'ole that thenceforward and for all time is | the only 'ole in the universe. Ifthe | coons have a decalogue the tenth commandment would be quite invid ous. Why impose an injunction-- "Thou shalt not covet thy neighber's 'ole," when he wouldn't take it ds a gift--wouldn't enter it on \a.bet. After 1 e@ out of the woods 1 met Old Hank Sevenpiper. He was hunting a 'cle--a better 'ole. Yes- terday I visited him in the county Poor house. He implored me to take him out of that Hole. He called it a Hole, if you please, and it's warm 43 summer in there and they get all they can eat and they can sit [in the sun and smoke.. Some people are basely ungrateful, This old skee- zicks has been hunting a hole all his born days and now, when at the end of his checkered career he finds himself in a nice big warm Hole which nost the county mighty nigh a hundred thousand dollars --- he wants to get out. There is only one Hole he can go to now--1I didn't tell him this, af course, but surely he has sense enough to realize that he has passed every hole but oné! Some of the Hole hunters that I am acquainted with are amusing peo- ple. . There was Ed.

They can't keep that Hole warm and they either freeze to death inside or they are kicked out and freeze to death in the open. You may be a fox all right, but I have known a fox to construct at great expense a hole that a groundhog lived in.
