Ta report of the Department of Labor for 1910 contains some significant sta- tistis-felating to industrial accidents in Canada, There were 1,38) fatal and.2,697 non-fatal accidents occurring to w orkmen while oceu- pied in following their employment. - The number of fatal accidents recorded in 1910 is larger than in any previous year since the record of the De, ent of Labor began. The largest number of fatalities occurred in railway service in which there were 287, fatal accidents and 332 non-fatal. The se- rious import of these figures is brought home by a comparison which is made tween the statistics of railway accidents in Canada, the United States and Great Brit- ain for the year 1907, the last for which the figures were available. The number of railway employees of all classes for one-kil- led was: Canada 478; United States 369; Great Britain 1,221.. Taking employees engaged in train service alone, engineers, conductors, firemen, .. baggagemen and brakemen, the figures showing number of employees for one killed were: Canada 136; United States 125; Great Britain 1,084. The proportions here indicated are practi- cally repeated in the figures for non fatal accidents. While the ees killed in tal number employed is lower than in the United States the difference between the two-countries and Great Britain is very marked. Climatic and topographical conditions are ercentage of railway eitplay- difference. The problems that-arise from natural conditions on the continent make it more difficult to eonduct railroad opera- tios than in Great Britain. Allowing for all this, however, the start- ling fact remains that of the total trainmen employed on Canadian railroads in 1907 out of every 136 was killed; in 1908, the proportion was one in every the proportion was one in every 172. Dur: ing the past five years the total number of employees killed on Canadian railways am- ounts to 1,490, while accidents not resulting in death total 1,601. On railroads across the border an Ameri- can statistican computed that in 1909, nine employees were killed every seven minutes. The working life of a trainman is estimated at seven years. lete information regarding industrial acci- dents-and there are-a which are never reported to the department.

Concerning him the Spokesman-Re- view, Spokane, Washington, of January 16, 1911, says: My business is to get factories, said Charles E. Brown, industrial commissioner of Medicine Hat, Alberta, who arrived in the city yesterday. I am employed by the city-in this work. I find the factories, in- vestigate them and then report back to the ratepayers, or taxpayers as you term them inthis country, who decide on the action to be taken. T don t spend my time writing letters to get the factories, but I go out after them. On the present trip I will Indiana. T have about 60 factories to in- vestigate. This year I will-put-in 42, each employing from 100 to 150 persons. The ratepayers will decide upon the site and the amount of natural gas to.be donated to the factories that we consider desirable. The municipality owns the natural gas and the water works and the. city will build a street car line also, T.am much interested in the buying-at- home campaign underway in Spokane. No city-ever undertook a more deserving campaign and one that will result in more actual good to the city.

TH productive forest area in 1908 on amounted to 182,263 acres. In gen- eral the standing timber is composed of sixty-nine per cent. hardwood and thirty- one per cent. coniferous forest. The fir ranks first among the coniferous species. The total yield of lumber.in 1908 was 4,575- not suitable for lighter lumber, such as expenditures for salaries, forest- cultiva- tion and road building amounted to ap- proximately 754,000, and the total gross income (from lumber and firewood) was 1,161,831. The capital represented by the-for ests ( 52,665, 354) brought interest raccordingly at 2:2i-per cent. Where in- tensive forestry of this kind is practised, forest. fires are unknown.
