Canada Has Sufficient
Coal for 5000 Years
1t Has Enough Agricultural Land for the Set
ting of Millions.

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 il 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 73h
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
the 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 145 years to 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,.
one hundred and seventy-five thousand

sheriff.
The sheriff was gone from the room
only a few moments. and returned
with the information that Hicks was
down at the bayou, which was to be

being an estimate of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption of coal will naturally in
crease.
The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become so well known
throughout the world. and the vacant
area of splendid land is still so great
that it 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
warrant 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 filing the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds Of
thousands who will follow. There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
of the country, 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

BosToN-The wholesale price Of shoes
has been advanced 10 10 20 per cent
practically all over the country, the in
evitable result OF further advance in
the price of leather, and there Is indica-
tion that the top has not yet been reach
ed. There is practically no prospect Of
lower prices for hides. II is not so much
a question of an absolute shortage as a
lack of surplus of both hides and leather
Beef scared TO record prices, but has
recently been easing off. With rising
prices people curtailed their consump-
tion Of meat, perhaps 10 TO 20 per cent,
but this has not been true Of leather, al
though the high cost has tended to make
buying conservative. People can do
without beef but leather is a necessity
for which there is no satisfactory sub
stitute.
The slaughter of cattle at the chief
packing centers for seven months has
been 900, 900 less than it was year ago.
This means a decrease / 200, 900 sides of
leather so far this year. There has been
a decrease Of 5000 600 head of cattle in
this country in the last decade.
Both tanners and shoe manufacturers
have done their utmost to stem the ris-
ing tide of prices all along the line.
Tanners are even now not getting prices
for leather commensurate with the cost
of hides, and shoe manufacturers have
advanced prices to retail dealers with
much reluctance.
Tanners, shoe manufacturers and deal
ers are all against high prices. The
head of large leather house says: II
detest these high prices, but instead of
growing easier the leather market is un-
deniably tending upward " Tanners
are paying l9 cents for native steer hides,
and there is no reason why packers can
not put them up to p cents. Where it
will stop no one can tell.
Surplus stocks of leather have been
cleaned up the past year. You can't dig
up bargains any more.
