TRUTH IS GOOD ENOUGH.

The story from the Vancouver World under the caption of "Tons of Gold Mined at Valdez" print cd in Fridays issue, is gem of it's kind. It is such an exagger- ated fairy tale as could only have been written by an inexperienced per. on and shows how it is pos Sible to work an injury to a camp without half trying. The article purpOrtS to be an interview with two local citizens who recently ar rived in Vancouver from this dis irict. The men are MrssrS. liar Ney and McAlliStrr, who are both mining men and know that such silly stuff is the worst kind of knock to any camp. They were probably the most diSguSted men when they saw the story in print. They were evidently interviewed by an imprrSSiOnahlr reporter who is not experienced in hand ling mining news and felt called upon in make the story as SenSa- tional as possible with the re- Sult that the men mentioned in connection with the story are made to appear in a ridiculous light.
 IL is ihiS sort of advertising which has held Valdez back and has made outside capital slow to ,.,,..iln,, 1, field. Stories of wonderfully rich mines in Valdez or any other camp which do not bear out the facts arc harmful and should be avoided. A story of rock carry ing thousands of dollars in gold may make an impression on the reader who has no knowledge of mining and probably is not pos seSscd of sufficient funds to car ry him tO the scene of the strike if he were inclined to go. On the other hand. it's effect on the min ing men, OF the man who has made money through mining and is looking for similar Investments, is mol complimentary Io the camp. They treat such stories as does the ordinary rrahrr who has been trapped into reading a well dis guisrd patent medicine advrrtisc- mcnt and pronounce inc whole thing and rvrrybndy connected with it. as fake.
 II is rrgrrIIablr llrai such q pre- pOStrrulS story should creep in iO print anywhere, but particular- iy SC in Vancouver. The people of lh" Canadian riIy have not suf- Tered so severely from the panic and business SlagDatiOn as the residents nf Puget Sound cities. The Canadian capitalists have shown an inclination tO become Interested in the mines of this district. Vancouver is considered inc DrSl place north of San Fran cisco iOr raising capital top pur- ch@~" and develop mines. It is tn be h prd their confidence will not be abused. The conditions in th,s camp are more Or less known fn iEc mining mon of Vancouver, sorhc of ihcm having been here OF having had agents make report for them. To attempt to prddlc hot air io them is an idle waste of time.
 There iS nothing substantial to be gained by misrepresentation or exaggeraiiOn. The truth about any camp should be good enough and it. certainly is in the case of the Valdez camp. !

AS OTHER NATIONS.

A brief special cable dispatch from
our London bureau in Sundays Tribune
was pregnant with pertinent sugges-
ion concerning tolls at Panama and
che rights, privileges and possible poll
Uies Of this country in the matter. It
was TO the effect that certain Euro
Dean governments, to wit France and
Russia, regularly repay TO some OF
their shipping lines the tolls which
they are required 70 pay for passage
through the Suez Canal. In one specific
case the French government has just
made a contract with the Messageries
Maritimes company under which the
former will repay to the latter canal
tolls to the amount OF $4,000 a year
How large a proportion Of the COM
pany's total canal charges are thus TO
be refunded may be estimated from
The facts that in 1910 its tonnage sent
through the canal was 5652OO, and
that the tolls are 81 65 a ton on laden
ships and 81 O5 for those in ballast
Thus II all ships had been laden the
tolls would have amounted to $3.50, $50.
But It is probable that certain pro
portion, not the regular liners, went
through IN ballast which would lessen
the amount. In any case, 1t is obvious
that the subsidy which the government
IS now TO pay will practically exempt
the ships Of that company from the
major part Of the canal tolls at Suez.
If any stern and unbendinG moral
lists, either here or in Europe, are de-
nouncing this act Of the French gov

evasion Of the Suez Canal Convention,

ANDREW LANG.

In the current number Of "Ihe Illus

peculiarly characteristic Of the famous
