department estimate that OF btu
minous coal there Is in Canada 1914
billion tons; OF anthracite 461 mil

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, 1t would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. II
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, 900 tons. At that rate It
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply OF

STARVATION.
RED CROSS COMES TO RESCUE

Utter HeIpIessness-Mexlean Fed

Washington, Aug. 9.-The horrors
Of the civil war in Nicaragua have
been added to by famine. The Red
Cross has come TO the rescue, having

ture OF a thousand dollars in foodstuff
to be sem from Panama to Corinto
by the Justin.
The Justin Is the vessel which has
been ordered to transport $50 marines
to Corinto TO be marched to Managua.
The purchase Of the supplies from
the government at Panama was the
quickest way to send relief to the
starving N~icaraguans.
The dispatches to the state and
navy departments show that the ne
public Is In a state OF anarchy and
Of utter helplessness. Nicaragua has
been unable to borrow any money
since her efforts to get II from the
United States failed. Her debts to
foreign nations are still unpaid and
there seems to have been no way OF
paying them except by a loan from
the United States.
Juarez-, Mex. Aug. s.-Some time
during Monday night the federal
troops which attacked the rebel posi-.
ton at Villa Ahumada retired toward
the city Of chihuahua without making
further attempt TO dislodge the rebels
and force them to retire from this
city. The federal losses beyond
twenty-five wounded Is unknown.
Troops under Generals Orozco and
Salazar are being concentrated along
the Mexican Central railroad and
Orozco says he wiz make an attempt
to recapture the former rebel cap
tain. Orozco already has nearly 1000
troops at Villa Ahumada.
Although rebel leaders here deny
the stories. desefters who have NC.
oeeded In crossing to FL Paso say
wholesale executions are taking place
there. II IL known that eight artillery
men were shot to death together with
two others captured as Madero spies.
The artillery men we're accused OF
attempting to desert to the American
side. These executions took place
behind the walls Of the Quartet and
no official report 10 ever made of such
transactions.

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 we'll 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 man
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
It 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, II In oats,
from forty to ninety. and even as high
as a 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
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 q
unit in the upbuilding, In the making
OF a country that will soon rank
