With British Columbia our trade
amounts to about IA million dollars
per annum On the import side there
are some very large decreases in 1905
as compared with 1901, notably btu
minous coal, which was only $1,000, ,752
in 1905, against $3,480,942 in 1901;

change has occurred in the volume
of our total exports to British Colum-
bia during the past five years. Dur
ing the last fiscal year our principal
expectations to that province were
iron and steel manufactures, $1,S91,-
All; animals, $4O9,259; fruits and
nuts, $447,684; provisions, $41O,11O;
and breadstuffs, $3S1,613.
This rapid growth in trade relations
with our neighbor at the north is es-
pecially interesting in view of the
varying conditions to which commerce
with Canada has been subjected. Dur
ing the period from 1855 to 1866 a
reciprocity treaty was In force be-
tween Canada and the United States,
but in the latter year it was ter
minated, so that commerce between

IN TERROR OF GHOST
CoIoradoans Tell Of Apparition Of Aged
Man Who Walls at Niqht.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-Startled
by prayers seeming to come from the
very bowels of the earth, residents
of the northwest portion of Colorado
Springs are greatly perturbed over
uncanny incidents that have occurred
in rapid succession during the last
in this part of the city have seen
what they believe to be an apparition.
1t is that of an aged and decrepit
man who tears his hair in frenzy
and who repeatedly utters supplica-
tions to be "called from the earth"
Only a few, however, have seen the
strange figure, but score or more
persons have heard the wailings and
the piteous entreaties 70 omnipotence.
When the matter was first reported
the police, prosiac and skeptical, were
inclined to scoff, but SO many cred
ible citizens insisted the eerie story
was true that the police investigated,
or at least tried to.
Their theory is that the apparition
is some conscience-stricken old man
who is about to commit suicide and
it waiting for command to be called
from the earth" They believe that
during the day he hides on the mesa,
or perhaps retreats to the hills.
Women and children have become
afraid to venture out after nightfall
lest they suddenly be confronted with
the gaunt vision or hear the terrify-
ing cries of an apparently sorely
stricken soul. Several who have seen
the vision believe it is Of distinctly
occult origin. They say no person
SO aged and fragile could exist out
doors in this inclement weather.

The council Of the empire has

A great change seems to have come
over the spirit of the peasants during
the winter. Whatever troubles are
reported the peasants invariably are
shown to be resisting the rural gurads

COAL BARONS PREPARED
Have Nine million Tons Reserve and
Expect to be Able to Supply
Coal in Case Of Strike.

New York - Announcement was
made today by the anthracite mine
operators that they have on hand
within radius of less than 100 miles
Of New York city, reserve supply
of more than nine million tons Of
good marketable grades of anthracite
coal. This is in addition to the sup
plies held by the dealers and larger
consumers.
In accumulating this vast store OF
coal an army of men have been stead
lily employed for months. Storage
facilities have been increased very
largely, in some cases by the leasing
of farms along the route of railroads.
Many Of these spots are isolated but
they are within easy transportation
distance from New York.
The operators declare tnat should a
strike come there will be no incon-
venience such as attended the dis
turbances In the anthracite region in
1902.

New Prairie Towns

These towns in their infancy, ris-
ing by scores on the prairies, are es-
sentially American in their spirit, their
purposes and their destines, says the
Outing Magazine for March. They
are being peopled, not by foreign inn
migrants, but by the men and women
of the middle west who are not afraid
to 'take chances" The schOolhouse
and the church will follow the grain
elevator, the, bank and the crude,
new main street." which runs into
a trail across the blank prairie. Some
of these towns may collapse and van
ish, but most of them will grow into
solidity and lose their raw edges
For the brick and stone business block
and high school, the pavement, the
water works and lighting plant are
only year or two behind the pioneer
in such a movement as this.
