There would be liv haririnir the rest nf the Dominion with the Ions on the carrying of Alberta coal by rail Why not send them Vancouver Island coal by water? It would entail lesa loss to the people. The wninion expenditures are increasing without adding the loss through carrying goods on the National railway at less than coat. CANADIAN POKTS FOU CANADIAN PEOPLE Alberta, raised the cry "Canadian Coal for Canadian People" and thus carried away many Canadian patriot who have not given the matter proper thought. Why not then Canadian port for Canadian products. Canadian wheat is still going out over the railway to American ports from which it is shipped to Europe. If the people who are worrying about the Ontario coal supply would turn their attention to the way the wheat is being carried, Prince Rupert would stand a chance ol benefitting-. This is a Canadian port arid everv hiwhei nf grnin shinned, this -way, benefits us. Instead of that Vve allow the wjieat to be shipped" from American" Atlantic ports' tills beneitting the United States. FIRE FIGHTING APPARATUS When there are big mines there should be fire-fighting apparatus close by. That was recognised on Vancouver Island where the coal mines are fully equipped with gas masks and air pumps and such other things as are At necessary. Hollinger thev .seem to have not been so equipped. They did not have Sloan for minister of mines. It was a long way to Toronto whence the apparatus had to be brought and many things might have happened in the meantime. It is not possible in every small mine to have complete cets of expensive apparatus, but Ih.llittiv r wis not a small mine and it would sfcem as if it should have had all thing nccesnarv for giving first aid to those trapped inside.

The rising tide at prceperlty In Canada is reflected In the Annual Report of toe Mutual Lite uf Canada presented at the fifty-eighth Annual Meeting of the policy holders of the Company held at the Head Office here today. "The general prosperity which prevailed throughout Canada, during the paat year," said Mr. w. H. 8omervl!le. the General Manager, tn hta ad drew covering the Annual Rep .'ft. the steady improvement in agriculture, and the giod tone of, business, not only enabled our efficient agency staff to produce a healthy Increase in the volume of new o,mlnes written, but also placed ouf investments in a highly satLslactory condition." Mr. Soinerville pointed to the new assurance written during 1927. a ar s meant of 151.293.136. a compared to $50,039,348 in ihe year previous. An :ina!ylJ of these figures showed that t!ve averse policy Issued In U37 Was for a larger sum than the average of .018-a desirable feature.

Mr. Cronyn then alluded to a gratifying fact which had not been mentioned in the General Manager's remarks. "Our policyholders," said Mr. Cronyn. will be gratified to learn that our ratio of expense ha dropped to the lowest pcint in the Company's history." Mr. Crouyn traceo the course of the Company's Investments showing that real estate holdings had shrunk to a nomparatively trllttng figure. There was j downward tendency, however, in in-erest rates, and nearly all claases of t;urttlc were affected.

' heavy purehaai made ,iir t -years "of long-date bonds yielding a high return have to date helped to counteract the prevailing condition. It seems, however, viear that we are facing an era of lower rates of interest, and. In common with other like investor, that we must perforce be satisfied with diminishing returns. "Unfortunately for us." Mr. Cronvn continued, "as policyholder the decline in ratfi of interest over practically the whole continent. Is a matter beyond our control. It Is but one of the many item which brlna home to us the fact that we have emerged from the shadow it the Oreat War. and that we live alongside a nation teeming with wealth vhose unemployed capital, unhampered by tariff or artificial restriction, of necessity now into channels commanding the confidence of the investor."
