A report dealing with the coal re-
sources of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what Is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials of the
department estimate that of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 1914
billion tons; of anthracite 461 mil
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion TONS The quantity
Of coal now annually mined in Canada
is about IL million tons. With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
of "a billion tons, it would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. If
tie inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 14,575 years. OF
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but it will be
a good many years before the quantity
of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500,000,000 tons. At that rate it
would take only las years 30 exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply Of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up of about four hundred thousand per-
sons year (and it looks now as if this
number would be reached this year,,

Chicago, Illinois. = When the COM
mittee adjourned after midnight it
was said that a new basis of repre-
sentation had been adopted.
1t is a radical departure from the
accepted basis of representation in
national conventions. 1t is planned
that in future national conventions,
instead of seating a delegate from
each congressional district and one
for each United States senator, there
shall be one delegate frsm each dis
trict and an additional delegate for
each 10000 votes cast In the previous
election for the national Progressive
ticket.
The plan is designated to prevent
the existence within the new party Of
conditions such as have obtained
within the old parties, whereby Sec
tons of the country in which the par
ties have little or no strength are
represented in the conventions on the
same basis as the strong Republican
or Democratic states.
Colonel Roosevelt contends that the
Republican delegates from Southern
states, in which the party has only a
nominal existence, were used in the
national convention last June to de-
feat the wishes of the party in the
strong Republican states as expressed
at the primaries

There are two or three of the more
radical ideas, however, which may
not be included Colonel Roosevelt,
it was said, would not object to the
elimination of a few proposals, but is
insistent that all the rest shall be
contained in the platform upon which
he is to run.
Soon after the committee met the
draft of tentative platform was pre-
sented by group of leaders in the
new movement, who had met several
times to discuss the matter. The
draft was said to express the COM
bined ideas of Dean Lewis of the law
school of the University of Pennsyl-
vania; Dean Kirchway of the law
school Of Columbia University; Gift
ford Pinchot, Chester Rowell of Cali
fornia, Charles Mccarthy, and other

The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become 80 well known
throughout the world, and the vacant
AREA of splendid land is still so great
that 1t may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
1t may be asked what is there to
warrapt this large immigration? With
millions OF acres of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
OF wheat to the acre; or, if in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
as hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of fax or bar
ley, there is ample inducement to at
tract these hundreds of thousands who
are filling the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
thousands who will follow. There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
of the coG2try, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler is more than a
unit in the upbuilding, in the making
of country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations of
the world. There is no desire on the
part Of the writer to dwell upon the
