Finds Numerous Frauds.

A number Of fraudulent pension
cases are being discovered at the
pension Office, and in the work of
clearing the files of them decision
has been rendered which has a wide
effect under the new service pension
law. In that law it is provided that
only those who were in the service
ninety days or longer should be en-
titled to service pension. The
first to Twelfth Ohio, the Omaha
Scouts, six regiments Of volunteers
composed of confederate prisoners
along with the Fifty-sixth Illinois
Volunteers areaffected by the ruling,
which holds that under the service
pension law soldier must have
served ninety days.
The Twelve Ohio regiments were
mustered out after enlistment for
ninety days, but the department
holds that as these regiments, were
furloughed for two weeks none OF
the members are entitled to pension
The Omaha Scouts and the con-
federate Prisoners regiment are de.
MED pensions becaue they did moi
see service at the front.

canada's Coal Supply.

Only few years ago pessimistic
wlseacres were estimating the prob
able coal supply of the world and
counting on ashortage in our great
grandchildren's time. The calcu-
lations of these estimable statistic
ans were excellent in detail and
were wrong only in that the basis on
which they were compiled were
absolutely false. 1t was assumed we
knew Of practically all of the large
ceai areas of the universe. Since
those croaking figures were given
to nervous public it is probable
THAT fifty times as much coal has
bee. located as the amount on which
the woefull estimates were based.
Australia, India, and China have
more then enough to supply their
own requirements for many gener-
ations to come, but Canada has en-
ough and to spare to supply the
wants Of both hemispheres.
Long before the present severe
climatic conditions converted the
Polar regions into the Artic re-
gions, immense forests hourished
on what are now the shores of Hud-
son Strait and Baffin Island; these
forests, now large coal fields, may,
even in our own day, supply the
steamers that will, within a few
years adopt the Hudson Bay route
for carrying wheat from Manitoba
to Europe.-From "The Mineral
Industry of Canada, by Frank j
Nicholas, in the American Review
of Reviews" for June.

Some of our creamery managers,
says the American Farmer, do not
know that Uncle Sam is likely to
pounce down upon them at any
time for turning out butter contain
ing more than l6 per cent. Of water
on which an internal revenue tax Of
10 cents pound is laid. When
the officers Of the internal revenue
service discover that butter pro-
ducer has been making a practice Of
exceeding the lawful limit of water
in his butter without paying the Ii
censes and taxes required, his books
may be seized, the amount of butter
made in this way determined and a
tax is then levied at 10 cents a pound
which must be paid at once or the
creamery is seized and put out of
business, and the owner goes to Jail.
1t is reported that creameries in the
east have been compelled to pay
large sums in this way under pro-
test which they can only recover by
bringing claim against the govern
ment. The action of the govern.
ment in this matter is based upon
the federal law passed in 1902,
which imposes a tax Of 10 cents a
pound on adulterated butter. One
feature that makes butter come un.
der the head of adulterated goods is
when the water contained exceeds a
certain maximum to be prescribed
by the secretary of agriculture. The
maximum decided on is l6 per cent
1t is for making this kind Of butte,
that some creameries will have te
suffer.
