In yesterday rnor'iiitig's iiiizrrtlirrrr we publislied the

Soft' coal is at present selling at from seven lo eight

dollars per tori and the available supply is so slirirt that we are tlircaterierl with f:rrnine_ our railwzivs :uw practically tied up for want of cozrl, :rn eiiilrai';_{ri, rr.

whole or in part, has been put upon tr":iiispor'tr\tioi'r on every railroad in C:rrr:rrl:r_ all liecattsc of the _scarcity of

coal. `__-\nd the prospect is that coal will become both'

rlearer and scarcer in the years to ccirne. The cairses which have |ir'oduced this scar"r‘itv still exist and will iticr"easingly exist--scarcity 'iii lnliour and iricrcaserl consumption of coal in industrial plants. lt would ap- pear then that the manufacture of fuel at present would be not only opportune but rcrnunerritive, and also patriotic. \\'itli some niillions of tons of avail- able fuel lying untouelied in our province, and our people actually suffering lor the want of it, thc straiglit business report subrnitlcrl by _\lr. l’rrpc, showing that a prolit of one to two or three <_loll:rr‘.~' rr ion could be made by the proper' utilization of it, should certriiir- ly be sufficiently attractive to ensure the iristallatiorr of the riccessary platit.

The manufacture of peat luel has long,siiicc pass-

ional president for thc lirst. tiriitr slnce 1911. when I<‘i‘anclsco Mc-;lero received more than rnro,000 votes.
