FIVE KILLED IN 3. c. MINE.
Survey Party Falls Victim to ExpIo-
sion at Cumberland.

Nanaimo. B. Give men were in
stantly killed and much damage done
to No. mine of the Canadian Collier
les Dunsmuir at Cumberland by ter
rifle explosion of unknown cause June
8. The dead are:
George Norris Bertram, chief sur
veyor of the collieries.
Lewis Murdoch, assistant surveyor
Frank Bobbo, fire boss.
A Brown, Nanaimo, miner.
Michael Williamson, machine man
Had the explosion occurred on a
week day the lives of at least $50 men
would have been imperiled.
The five victims were members of
a survey party headed by Bertram,
and were mapping out new work for
the week. The mine is under the
heart of Cumberland, and the town
was badly rocked by the explosion.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Distributive
trade lags under check-reins imposed
by inordinately high prices, particu-
larly of food, unseasonably cool
weather and the practice of econ
omy. The countrys leading indus
tries, confronted as they are by de-
mands which seem Unsuitable, pro-
coed to new high ground, while the
crop situation has taken on a better
color and the stock market reflects
more confident optimism. Moreover,
evidence developing from day to day
indicates that the industries instead
of getting a respite from overwhelm-
ing activity will undergo further
straining to care for the needs of
war. The iron, steel, textiles, fuel,
lumber, ship building and machinery
trades loom large in point of activity
with the signs pointing to even great
er pressure. Car shortages still
cause complaint, the lumber, -four
milling and coal industries being es-
pecially hampered. Bank clearings
S5,619, 900, an increase of 300 per
cent over last year.

TOO COSTLY.

The present average rate of
slaughter on the European battle
fields is 5000 men per day. That
are wounded or crippled, but only of
those who are killed outright. The
total number of men killed outright
since the war began is placed at
100000. The average cost of kill
ing a man up to the present time is
$4,000 per man.
The congress of the United States
has voted bonds amounting to ST.
000,000,O00 to pay the expences of
the war for a starter. That should
be sufficient, at the present cost of
slaughter, to end the lives of $780,
900 more human beings.
And what is it all about? A man
was murdered somewhere in South
eastern Europe three years ago. He
was an Austrian and he was killed
by a Serbian. When an ordinary
human being is killed by another
human being, the consequence is a
trial for murder, a hanging, an inn
prisonment or an acquittal.
But in this case the victem hap
pened to be a prince. He was a
member of a royal family with di-
vine right to rule. And so all the
world is involved in the slaughter.
Millions of men have been killed
who ought to be happy and to be
rearing families and becoming indi-
pendent. Billions have been spent
for war which should be spent in
the arts and industries of peace.
Because the murdered man was of
royal blood and claimed divine
right to rule, we people away out in
Montana have to suffer and to pay.
People all over the world have to
suffer and pay.
1t is too much to pay for the
luxury of kings. Germany is paying
too high a price for the luxury of
keeping the kaiser on the throne.
The world cannot afford to pay
such an astounding price for its
kings. Let us get rid of them, get
done with the fetish of the divine
right of any man to rule over his
fellow men, and end forever the
danger of kings getting us into
more wars. - Anaconda Standard.
