PROPOSED CHANGES IN
FEDERAL MINING LAW

Ottawa, Sept. 22:—New min-
ing regulations are provided in a
bill to be introduced at the next
session of Parliament by Hon.
Louis Coderre, secretary of
state and minister of mines. It
ig expected that an entire new
mining law will be placed on the
statute books, and that the sys-
tem of mining reguiations now
governing the administration of
mines will be abolished,

The number of aceidents in the
various provinces of Canada is
greater than in any other country

Jin the world. While last year

the death rate in Great Britain,
with over one million miners em-
ployed, was only 1,19 per 1000,
in British Columbia it was over
3 per 1000, In Ontario it is com-
puted that one miner is killed
oy injured every third day.

The difficulty encountered in
framing a Dominion mining law
is found in the provincial rights.
The mining laws at present in
force in Nova Scotia, New Bruns-
wick, Ontarioand British Colum-
bia were passed before confeder-
ation, while Alberta, only last
year, passed a new provincial
mining law.

To Encourage Agriculture ,

Hon. Martin Burrell during
his recent visit to England gave
the press there an interesting
interview on the agricultural in-
dustry in Canada, Inthe course
of his remarks he pointed out
that here, ag in other countries,
the percentage of public expendi-
diture on agriculture was not
commensurate with the import-
ance of the industry and. the
total national expenditure, The
federal expenditure on agricul-
ture in Canada this year is $3,-
000,000, while, in addition, the
different Provinces are spending
considerable sams. Mr. Burrell
is of the opinion that there was
probably never a more general
recognition than at the present
of the absolute importance of a
healthy condition of agriculture
if the national prosperity is to
continue. To mainiain this con-
dition the Federal government
is taking some important steps.
The livestock is being strength-
ened by the purchase and dis-
tribution in the newer sections of
pure-bred ‘male animals of all
kinds. Yet another new move on
the part of the government is
the expenditure of $1,000,000 a

year for ten yeara to be distritut-
ed among the various Provinces
for agricultural education. There

seems little doubt that this plan

will have the most beneficial
effect, As it has only just been
commenced, it is as yet impos-
sible to judge what the results
will be, but it is safe to infer
that one effect wilt be the araus-
ing of a more general public in-
terest in agricultural affairs —
Ex,

The Transport Strike

London, Sept, 24:—~The politi-
cal and industrial situation in
Ireland is growing more serions
every day. Commenting on the
strike of transport workers, the
Times says the stability of the
British nation is threatened by
the actions of the English fand
Irish working classes. Sir Ed-
ward Carson’s inflammatory anti-
home rule campaign in Ulster is
adding to the anxiety of the
ministers, ‘The old town hall in
Belfast is beginning to resemble
& war office, with wirelessappara- |-
tas on the roof and guards out-
side,

London, Sept. 24:—The Em-
bryo ‘‘Parliament of Ulster,’’
known as the Ulster Unionist
council, assembled in Belfast to-
day to consider: plans for the
provisional government forUlster
in the event of the home rule
bill becoming law. Six hundred
delegates are in attendance, The
leaders threaten to formulate a
document similar to the Ameri-
can declaration of independence.
A fund was started today to in-
demnify the relatives of any
killed or wounded among Ulster
electors. Five million dollars
are to be raised for this purpose.

Laredo, Tex., Sept. 23.—Ac-
cording to official reports which
arrived here last night, the rebels
dynamited a passenger train of
the Mexican National Railway
sixty miles south of Saltillo yes-
terday. The explosion killed
sixty people. Ali the survivors
were robbed, and also the bodies
of the dead.

Nanaimo, Sept 24,—Israel Ro-}
binowitz, a Vancouver lawyer,
and two miners have’ been ar-
rested for alleged picketing.
Their trial has not been con-
cluded.

Manager Grant, of the P. Burns
Co., is on his way to Fraser
