Telkwa's Big Coal Property Forging Steadily Ahead
Judge  Robertson   Spends  Hour Underground  in  Examination  of the  Workings
Frank   M.   Dockerill    Opening
Fourteen-Foot Seam of
Glean   Coal
Smithers, Feb. 24—Wnile in Smithers on his regular monthly sittings of the county court, relieving Judge Young who is absent on dick leave, Judge Robertson of Prince George accepted an opportunity of seeing for himself the Bulkley Valley coal mines, the only coal mine in Central British Columbia now in active operation.
The mine workings on the face of a steep hillside rising from the bank of the creek are close to the spot where, in 1898, the outcropping of this fourteen-foot seam led to the first discovery of coal in the district. The coal measures were taken up and exploratory work done at that time, but sed into the hands of Ontario capital who had made no attempt to operate themselves. It was only a year and a half ago, when Frank M. Dock-rill obtained a working lease, that this seam was f'a-st actually mined.-In the short time that he has been operating Mr. Dockrill has accomplished a very srreat deal, and Central British Columbia owes much to him for the establishment  of this new  industry  when i
so little other mining Is being done
Two slopes are run into the nius.ae from the level of the-top of the bunkers, about thirty feet above the valley level. These two slopes follow down the dip of the measures on an easy gradient, and are connected at the wo 1 level run about two hundred and fifty feet from their portals. Chambers off this level axe being mined for the coal now toeing produced. Horse-drawn cars haul tht coal to the bunkers, where it is screened and then dropped SSy into one of the> three.great bins from which the trucks axe loaded.
All of the .workings are in coal and it is not found necessary to take out anv material but the clean coal, owing to "the fact that the seam is ofa« Uniform width of between ton-teen and fourteen feet, all clean coaf except for an inch-wide parting of shale to the middle of the seam. It is not found advisable to mine more than the lower nine or ten feet of the seam.
During the judge's visit to the mine he spent an hour underground-he was shown the removal of a pillar which ¦supported a weak spot in the roof of one of the chambers. A gradual set tling down of the roof,coal brings ex treme pressure on the wooden supports until they creak and groan When "-the supporting pillar was knocked out a huge block of coal weighing two or three- tons dropped from the roof.
Mining and shipment of coal is going steadily ahead under Mr. Dockrill's direction. Not only are Smithers and Telkwa supplied by direct truck-haul in°- but car-load shipments to points along the railway from Prince George to Prince Rupert supply a growing market as the hich heating qualities cf the coal become better known. T is the highest in B.T.U.'s—13.900—of any coal now being marketed in Western Canada and Bulkley Valley folks are justly proud of their Bulkley Valley Coal Mine.

IMPERIAL IDEAL REVIVED
Preference  Within  the  Empire
to be Advocated at the
Ottawa Conference
New York, Feb. 20—Abandonment at last by Great Britain of free trade brings realization of imperial prefer-enc within the realm of very practical policy, it. is pointed out by The Index, periodical of the New York Trust Company.
With,the British Empire now comprising approximately a quarter of the world's land surf ace and a quarter of the entire population of the world, the conference on the subject to be held at Ottawa this year is of the utmost importance to all other nations.
Reviewing the situation The Index finds no new issue involved in. the imperial preference policy as since the nineteenth century it has been more extensively adopted outside the "British empire than within it.
As a result of such tariff discrimination the United States, according to a calculation made by Professor Parker Moon, of Columbia University, had secured by last year no less than 77 per cent of the total commerce of its colonies, while corresponding ratios for the other countries mentioned were: Japan 71 per cent: Belgium, 50 per cent, and France 49 per cent. In the year: 1924, as calculated by the same authority. Great Britain's share amounted to only 34 per cent of the total commerce of the dominions, colonies and other territories constituting the British empire.
Birth of Free Trade In the latter half of the eighteenth century and the opening decades of the nineteenth, the attitude of Europe, and, more particularly, that of England toward this method of imperial economic development underwent a marked change. The old colonial empires were falling apart. England had annexed French and Dutch eonolies. In turn England lost 13 American colonies The S. American colonies broke away from Spain. Brazil separated from Portugal. Later, /the British colonies of Canada. New'South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania, New Zealand. Cape Colony and Queensland were granted self-government. The dictum of Turgot summed up the variously expressed thought of many European statesmen: "Colonies are like fruits which cling to the tree only till they ripen." Colonies in fact, began to be regarded as heavy liabilities •ather than as valuable assets, r In the meantime, in Europe, the industrial revolution was under way, and in this. England, with the genius of her inventors, the abundance of her coal, and relative freedom from, the ware which distracted her continental lompetitors, established overwhelming jupremacy. Her manufactures were in demand everywhere, and her business men, economists and statesmen saw for her a new destiny: that of becoming the workshop of the world. Her economic outlook, formerly confined within national and then imperial boundaries, widened to contemplate the jtimulating prospect of free and unrestricted international trade. Trade Policy a Religion Ii> these circumstances a new and powerful class of English manufacturers called for abolition of the old system of protection and preference on the ground that the interests of the country demanded cheaper raw materials and food supplies so that wages and costs of production could be reduced. Eminent English economists, philosophers and statesmen, such as Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham. and Richard Cobden, put the case for free trade on broader ground. They saw the fiscal restrictions of imperialism as incentives to wax and artificial barriers to natural world economic progress which, in their view, depended upon frank and full recognition of the principles of international, economic interdependence.
It was not without prolonged and bitter controversy that the caee for :ree trade won acceptance by the British people and parliament   and was

\ established between the years 1820 and I 1850. The argument went deep and : aroused passionate feeling on both sides. Free trade was seen, on the one hand, as a' betrayal alike of the British colonies and of Britain's imperial destiny. On the other hand, it was defended in terms of the highest moral and even religious fervor. Thus, Cobden declared that the principle of free trade was the ordinance of the Creator—the international common law of the Almighty. Something of the emotional feeling aroused on both sides in Cobden's-day has continued ever since and manifests itself ever, now when this deep-seated issue is re»-opened.
Revival of the Imperial Ideal
Although dormant since the enact-.ment of free trade, the imperial fiscal issue in England, in fact, has never been dead. It flared up in the latter half of the nineteenth century when the Conservative party, under Disraeli became identified with imperialism, and Liberals and radicals, under Gladstone, strenuously defended the doctrines of Adam Smith, Bentham and Cobden. But soon the issue cut across party lines, as it does today. Several of Gladstone's most able lieutenants espoused the imperialist cause and the fiscal doctrines associated with it.
It was a Liberal radical Joseph Chamberlain, who wrecked the Liberal party and joined the Conservatives to preach doctrines of tariff reform and imperial preference which proved too far-reaching even for the imperialistic Conservatives themselves. Chamberlain proposed the formation of an in-terirriperial customs union, or Zollver-ein. . with tariff walls enclosing the British empire but free trade within it. The idea has its counterpart today in the advocacy of Lord Beaverbrook of 'empire free trade.'
-Attitude of the Dominions
British advocates of imperial preference were reinforced in the nineteenth century, as they are today, by the attitude of the self-governing dominions. From the time when they achieved independence, the dominions. declined to.follow the mother country in adherence to free trade. Like the United States, they instituted tariffs for revenue and for the encouragement of home industries. The desire to protect home industries, even against competition from the mother country, however, was always accompanied by recognition, on the part of the dominions, of the great value of the markets of the motfher country, especially for food supplies and raw materiaLs.
Consequently, the dominions have never ceased to press for Imperial preference, although they have not been and are not now willing to adopt free trade, even within the empire. like the official Conservative party in Britain, the dominions have rejected both the proposals of Joseph Chamberlain and those of Lord Beaverbrook.
