Now Coming to Thi Country---Official Advices Say | | {IN YEARS PAST | That ™ Threatened United States Miners' Strike Will Not Be Long. | Ottawa, Aug. 1.--In the event otf peoal strikes Canada inevitably will {be affected, but in the opinion ot yGovernment experts the situation will not be nearly as bad as it would {have been five years ago. In the {meantime many substitutes have de- veloped. Canadian importation of {American anthracite last year fell {off by a million tons. Roughly, fifty iper cent. of this was replaced by required, however, one with a larger | fire box and higher, so that the es- | caping gas may burn. Much more British coal has been | imported during the year than for-| merly, and the effect has been to! prevent a rise in the price of the | American coal and even, in some | cases, to reduce it. One of the great difficulties consequent upon a coal strike is that it results in a con- gestion of railway traffic. This is | AUREVOIR ae With this issue of the British Whig the late editor and managing | director lays down his pen and re- linquishes his control. For some twenty-seven years he served the Whig in various capacities. As steno- | grapher to the late proprietor, Mr. |B. J. B. Pense, as reporter, adver- tising manager, business manager, and, during the past fourteen vears, editor and managing director, he ran the whole gamut of newspaper activity and experience. The best friend he had. in all the varied career was Mr. Pense himself; the one who inspired his highest ideals was Mr. Pense; the one who, above {all others, implantéd in his heart { faith in his fellow-man was Mr. | Pense. The entire newspaper situation has materially changed since that far-away day. Newspaper machines and presses, that were then thought to be the acme of perfection, have gone on the scrap heap, and have been superceded by more modern, and--alas--more expensive equip- ment. But that had to be. The pro- NOVA SCOTIA STRIKE MAY SHORTLY END The Rhodes Government Has Subnited a Final Proposal IT MAY.

Wherever they roam they never forget the old city at the junction of the mighty River St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario which gave them birth. Never can they forget their childhood and school days in the historic Limestone City. They may live in the distant west or long distances away in the neighboring republic, but memories of the old home still stir the heart and create that restless desire to come back to the old home, the old folks, old friends and scenes that memory will not allow to fade away So they are coming home in hund- reds, bringing along new kith and kin to rejoice with them.

A great 'welcome awaits the London, Aug. 1.--At the British Delegate Queen, of Canada, opened the discussion on the question of in- ter-Dominfon migration. He said that while Canada djd not wish to bar 'immigration, it did object to people being sent out under the false pretence that the streets were lined with gold, while as a matter of fact workers in Canada had as much of a struggle to live as those in England.

Kingston welcomes her sons and daughters. May their stay in the old home town be restful and joyous. cess of evolution goes unme#iYully on, whether Bryan lives or dies. The Whig has kept step with modern progress. Its equipment-now is on a par with the best that can be found in Canada. Its staff is efficient, loyal and progressive. j Since the beginning of the great war nearly fifty daily newspapers have disappeared in Canada, but the British Whig has gone on its way as of old, untrammeled and unafraid, ensure that so many land agents and other interested parties were not re- presented on the migration bodies in their countries.
