"Cobalt" is a Prominent Citizen of
the Mining Country.
More than a year ago the brindle
bulldog, known wherever Cobalt men
fare as "Cobalt," was hurled from a
cliff after he had secured the victory
in a desperate struggle with a mortal
enemy. He was picked up at the bot-
tom crippled in his hindquarters and
for more than a year he was not seen
of the public gaze. ebout a month
ag i he walked into the King George
Hotel at South Porcupine and has
resumed his old nomadic habits. In
his earlier days when he was indeed
a warrior bold he traveled from Hails
eybury to Latchford with an Irish
terrier, and the two of them had the
canine world of northern Ontario in
thorough subjection. "-Cobalt" would
bluff them in front and the Irish ter-
rier atta.oked in the rear; it was an
irresistible combination. But since
the buliclog lost his partner he has
been as' nomadic and regtless as the
Wandering aew.
He is ostensibly the property of Mrs.
.A. G. Shiest, the Haileybury lawyer,
but he really acknowledges no mass
ter for more than three days. Once,
in disgust at his erratic affections,
Mr. Slaght disowned him, and it was
rumored abroad that he would have
to take the last fatal journey in the
dog cart. No sooner was it known
than twenty citizens of Cobalt offers
ed to pay his fee, but that was deemed
too high an honor for any private
itizen, and "Cobalt" is to -day. a free -
an of the Silver City. He has fol.
owed the trail into every mining
amp in the north, boarding the T. &
,-.41.0. trains with absolute serenity and
-• d"." going where he listeth. When he
-reaches a town he proceeds to take up '

Asquith Threatens to Brino Welsh
Coal Operators to
Eight Hundred Thousand Men Are
Now Out, But the Employers Have
Not Yet Agreed ts a Minimum
e's sad is Drafting a
Bin, But Owners Are Expected to
Give „elan -rime.
London, March 1.—The settlement
of the threatened coal strike is yet far
off. The Govereniertt has not yet
been. able to "induce all the cpal owns
ers to agree to the demand for a mini-
mum wage made by the miners, but
Premier Asquith declared last night
that if the principle ot a minimum
wage was not seoured by agreement
it would, be secured by other means.
Fully 800,000 miners have alreadj,
laid down their tools, and will not
pick thena up again until an agree-
ment satisfactory to the miners' fed-
eration has been reached. The men
have the Government behind them
and feel that victory has been won.
It was officially ' announced last
nieht that the conference of the Cab-
inet Ministers with the miners' feder-
ation would be continued te-day.
Chancellor Lloyd -George is drafting a
minimum wage bill, but it is stated
that the Government is hopeful of
being able to seeure the establishment
of the minimum 'wage without re-
course to legislation, now that the
Welsh mine -owners see that they are
powerless to resist longer.
Some of the railways have sent out
notifications of curtailment of their
services owing to the strike.
"The Government having recognized
the principle of a minimum wage for
all underground workers. if it is not
secured by agreement, it will be se-
eured by the Government by other
means."
This extract. from the speech made
by the Prime Minister to the raerrie
leers of the National Miners Federa-
tion, as reported in the official state-
ment issued last night Concerning the
conference held yesterday, indicates
the lengths to which the Government
Is prepared to go to effect a illeile-
raent of the. strike. It is virtually an
ultimatum to the coal owners. •
Emphasizing the point again; Mr.
Asquith said. that the Government
"were determined. that the minimum
wage shall become part and parcel of
the organization and working of the
coal industry by whatever appropri-
ate means the Government can com-
mand."
They would be false to their duty
as stewards and trustees of the gen-
eral interests of the nation, continued
the Premier, if they did net take what
steps they could to bring abut a
resonable arrangement. The Govern-
ment felt that they were face to face
with a warfare between eapital and
labor in the coal industry, which
might paralyze all other, industries
in the country.
The Government had started upne
their investigation of the problem, te
Premier said, without any prejuslise
n,f party or class bias in one diree-
tors or another. Having given the
fullest and most careful eonsideration
te the evidence which the workmen
had brought before them, ,the conclu-
• sion they had unanimously come to
was that a ease had been made out
for ensuring to the underground work-
ers in the _coal industry, with ade-
quate safeguards, a reasonable mini-
mum wage.
Already a majority — certainly 60
per eent.—of the coal owners of the
country had assented to the Govern-
ment's proposals, and they did not
intend that the resistance of what,
he hoped, *as a dwindling minority i-
bf
the employers of labor, should un-
duly 'delay the attainment of an ob-
ject which "we have satisfied our-
selves is consistent with justice and
the best interests of the community." I
speech with an appeal to the miners
The Prime Minister concluded his
to allow reasonable latitude for dis-
cussion with respect to fixing the min-
imum wage for the different districts,
and not to insist upon rigid adherence
to the schedule adopted by the miners'
fedeeation. He reminded them that if
they persisted in that course they
assumed a terrible responsibility, al-
though it was obvious that nothing
short of a miracle could avert a na-
tional coal strike.
Coal Strike In U. S.?'
New York, March. 1.—The represen-
tatives of the anihracite coal -miners,
who have been here foe several days
formulating' their demands for higher
wages, have concluded their deliber-
ations for the present. They will re-
turn to meet the operators at a con-
ferenee in this eity on March 13.
As to the chances for a atrike, the
miners' leaders are non -committal.
"We are not looking for a strike,”
declared Mr. White before leaving
New York, "but will insist on our
demands."
There are .700,000 coal mine workers
in this country, and according to the
last official returns 350,000 of thein
are in the tuaion.
Appeals To Borden For "Rights."
Quebec, March 1.—The Action So -
dale, the official organ of the Raman
Catholie Church in Quebec, says that
the rights of the Catholic minority of
Keewatin in regard to separate sehools

Government, and in an article en-
titled "The Right Does Not Die,"

mons lest eseeins, whea the matter
of further reducteit in cable rates
wee brought up by J. E. Armstrong
(E. Lambton).
He had been in correspondence with
the British poetal authorities, he said,
and had ea letter hem Postmaster -
General Samuels in which the latter
saki he copednet seehis way clearly ,
to obtaining a further cut in cable •
rates, nor waa he favorable to the
plan of a state-owned cable. Mr. Pelle,
tier said he did. not agree with the .
British Postmaster -General • and had
*kitten him, telling him so and asking
him to co-operate in getting a further
reduction in cable rates.
The other 'Announcement of the
P stniaster-Geaeral was that the
Department Was to undertake a re-
organization of the whole system of
rural mail delivery.
• On the motien to go 'into supply,
1. E. Armstrong 'brought up the ques-
tion of government ownership of tele-
phones and telegraphs. •
Ile argued that the telephone and
telegraph could be handled with great
• economy through -the Postoffice De-
partment. If the trunk line e of the
telephone system were handled by the
• Government, these would be a great
benefit to the ernintry at large.
Mr. Armstrong said that the pro-
position .pf Genernraent , ownership
wee along the:, lines of the Hydro -
Electric Commission. There are thirty
municipalities now interested. • The
.eommission, brings the- wires to the
municipalities, and, -in ,like manner,
the trunk lines fortele-Phones could
be built from city fo-eity and muni-
cipality to municipality.
• Mr. Armstrong pointed out that the
Hydro -Electric Commission . were
strongly in favor of Government-own-
ed telephone and telegraph lines, as
they could more readily distribute
power to the fanners- by using the
same poles. -
Mr. Armstrong advocated that the
'cables should be owned by the Cana-
dian and British Governments and
quoted a nunaber of statistics to show
.the feasibility and the advantages of
the scheme. Wireless telegraphy, he
;believed, would , within a few years
be more in general use, and it would
be of great advantage to navigation
in the Hudson Bay.
In closing, Mr. Armstrong said that
he sincerely hoped that the Govern-
ment would appoint a commission to
investigate the whole matter. Such
figures, he -beliesfed, would be secured
as- would lead the Government to de-
cide irf favor of Government owner-
ship.
feasibility and possibility of the Gov-
.
Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux followed
and Vent into an exhaustive review
of the whole question, -including the
eminent taking over and operating
the cable. systems.
The recent reduction in the rates
was; he believed, a step in the right
direction. Mr. Lemieux eraphaeized
the value to the Canadian press and
public which would accrue from a
state owned cable and the consequent
lower rates. He said that much of the
news which we receive from the Mo-
ther Country at the present time is
more or less tainted because of coms
ing through American services. This
gave the question an Imperiaraspect.
In closing, Mr. Lemieu.x moved that
the Postmaster -General take steps to
obtain a further reduction •inacable
rates :between Canada, and Great Bri-
tain,
- W. F. Maclean (South tork) strong-
ly advocated Government ownership
of telegraphs, telephones and cables.
• "The cable monopoly in England is
to -day all-powerful, he said. "The
control has now passed to the 'Amer.,
Jeans, who tontrol also the telegraphs
and telephones on this continent.
State competition is the only possible
solution and $2,200,000 would, be anis
fieent to establish a state-owned cable.
Parcel posts were next taken up by
Mr. Maclean. Propositions were bee
fore Congress for the establishmexit.of
a parcel post system. The only tv,ay,
to handle these questions is to go ins
to the business. "Let us have state
coinpetition," he said, if we cannot
get state ownership:"
Hon. L. P. Pelletier complimented
Mr. Armstrong on the way he had
handled his subject: He had placed
before the House and the country
many valuable facts. His speech was
so valuable that a commission was
almost u.nneceesary,'as no commission
could collect more faets.
The questiba of cable rates had been
engaging the attention of the Govern-
ment. While he believed there should
be reasonable cable rates, he thought
the question of rural mail delivery
was more important and this question
was nodr occupying his attention,„ Tt
had forraerly been • conducted in a
very loose manner, but he planned to
put it on a systematic basis.
A speeial branch of the Postoffice
Department would be created shortly,
he said, to handle this feature and it
was intended to have as complete a
service as possible. .
Cable Wes are, he thought, exces-
sively high. He said he had negotiat-
ed with PostmaSter-General Samuels
of England, in regard to the still fur-
ther reductions in the rates, but Mr.
Samuels, appeared to think that fur-
ther reductions were out of the ques-
tion at present.
Mr. Pelletier asked •Mr. Lemieux
not to press his motion. It was an
academie one and could do no good,
while the Department Was doing all it
could. ,
Mr. Lemieux, however, slid not ac-
cede and the motion was defeated on
* division of 71, to 40.

Confined to His Horne for Weeks.\
"Heavy work, severe straining and evil habits in youth brought on
Varicose Veins. When I worked hard the aching would become
severe and I was often laid up for a week at a time. My family
physician told me an operation was my only hope—but I dreaded it.
I tried several specialists, but soon found out all they wanted was ray
money. I commenced to look upon all doctors as little better than
rogues. One day my boss asked me why I was of work so much and
I told him my condition. Ho advised me to consult Drs. Kennedy&
Kennedy, as he had taken treatment from them himself and knew
they were square and skillful. I wrete them and got Tam NET,
METHOD TRIDATMENr. My progress was somewhat slow and during
the first month's treatment I was somewhat discouraged. However,
I continued treatment for three months longer and was rewardea
with a complete cure. I could only earn $12 a, week in a machine
shop before treatment, now I am earning $21 and never loose a day.
I wish all sufferers knew of your valuable treatment,
