BY ADDISON BENNETT
XANAIMO, B. C. March 30. (Staff
correspondence.) This is the principal
city on Vancouver Island, next to vie
torla. It is a fine little city of some
where around 12,000 people, but Just
now there are perhaps less than that
owing to a strike In the coal mines.
This strike is now about a year old.
Up to that time the 2500 miners em
ployed hereabouts wore apparently
contented and prosperous. They made
good wages and their conditions in the
mine and on the surface were sup
posed to be in every way satisfactory.
There was no discontent known to the
mine operators.
However, of these 2500. something
like 200 belonged to the miners union,
and through these union organizers
came In and demanded recognition o(
the union.
Then came the strike, which for a
time amounted to a lockout. The Can
adian Government sent in about 1000
troops, the mines began In a desultory
way to resume on their main shafts,
the workmen Increased, and now there
are about 1500 men employed at the
old wage and under the old conditions.
The strike is lost, was long- since
lost. But apparently the union men do
not know this. The troops have been
withdrawn with the exception of about
200 men, and normal conditions will
soon prevail. Now something like 1500
tons of coal are mined a day. When
the strike is really settled, it is said
the output will soon go up to some
thing like 4000 tons per day, for with
settled conditions many new shafts will
be sunk.
I mention these conditions to. show
that the labor troubles in the domains
of Uncle Sam are in no wise unique or
exceptional. The ne'er do wells and
the agitators are not confined to the
States: the Canadian people suffer by
them even as we do.
Our vessel tied up at one of the tip
ples about 6 o'clock this evening, stop
ping for 250 tons of coal to take to a
cannery at Ketchikan. Talk about tak
ing coal to Newcastle! Here was a
case of taking coal from a small field
to the great coal field of the world, of
the small supplying the great.
Passengers Kn joy Sights.
As soon as Captain MacGregor could
get to the custom-house and arrange
for the passengers to land, also to ar
range for the cargo, word was passed
to the passengers by phone that we
might go and see the town. And all
the first and second-class passengers
took advantage of the hint and walked
three-quarters of a mile up to the
business section.
It is indeed a quaint little city. Those
of us of an inquiring turn of mind
went first to the newspaper office, the
- Daily Herald, a morning paper, and ;
mighty good one for a place of thi
size. Here I was fortunate enough to
meet Mr. Matson, the proprietor, and
the editor, who gave me much infor
mation.
From there I went to one of the
leading hotels, and there met John F.
Doyle, of the Doyle & Powers Com
pany. I found Mr.

from Victoria, the capital of the prov
ince, some 60 or 70 miles by water; to
Vancouver it Is only 36 miles across
the gulf. There is a fine boat service
to both of these cities. The Princess
Patricia, one of the fastest little steam
ers afloat, makes the run to Vancouver
and back with all ease in four hours
and could,, in a pinch, make it in three
hourB.
The fishery business of Nanaimo Is
even more important, in some respects,
at least, than the coal output. The
herring fisheries are said to be by far
the most extensive on the continent.
The shipment of dry salt herring last
year amounted to over 25,000 tons.
Then salmon, cod, flounders, halibut,
oysters and clams are taken In large
numbers. There were shipped 1800 bar
rels of oysters and 5400 barrels of
clams last year.
Tim bf r Growth Kxteasfrve.
Another Important asset to Nanaimo
is her timber interests. This section
of Vancouver Island Is covered with a
heavy growth of cedar poles, and also.
in districts. with tine saw timber,
spruce and fir. There is a big trade be
ing done in the shipment of telephone
and telegraph poles., and a sawmill
here makes a large cut of lumber for
local and Northern trade. I suppose
the Southeastern Alaska ports will
draw a large portion of their lumber
supplies from here, at least lor the
next few years.
I did not get to see much of the resi
dence district of Nanaimo. but I saw
quite a number of downtown dwell
ings. Mostly they were English and
mighty comfortable looking. Some of
the lawns were very beautiful, laid out
In true English style and the shrubbery
trimmed with English taste.
My memories of Nanaimo will ever
be pleasant. Particularly will I think
bout Mr. Doyle, who until a late hour
of the night gave up his whole atten
tion to myself and other passengers on
the stetson to tell of the assets and
beauties of his beloved town. I only
hope that in future ports touched on
this trip I may find gentlemen only
half as kind as he. If so I will be In
deed fortunate.
For four hours and more, the stream
of coal has been pouring Into the hold
of the Stetson. By midnight the cap-

Thousands Paid for Publicity.
The people about 10 months ago sub
scribed $1000 a month for a year for
publicity work. The strike conditions
tightened business up greatly, but
more than two-thirds of the amount
has been regularly paid each month.

Mala Street Serlea of T Mints.
The main thoroughfare of the town
Is Commercial streot. This street is
well paved and the walks and curbs
are of the best. The highway itself has
more twists and turns in it than I ever
saw In a city street before. Talk about
Pearl street, in New York, which be
gins and ends in Broadway, making a
half circle in Its two or three miles of
length! Why, Commercial street in
Nanaimo has 40 twists where Pearl
street has one. It winds in and out.
north and south, east and west, up hill
and down hill and on the level, while
streets intersect it from every direc
tion and every angle.
Mr. Doyle explained why this was so.
He took me down toward the water
front, a block from this spiral street.
and showed me an old fort or block
house. It was erected, so an inscrlp
tion on it says, by the Hudson's Bay
Company in 1853. There were no resi
dents but Indians hereabouts then.
Back of the fort, leading to higher
.ground, there was a ravine. Eventually
a path wound along the eastern bank
nf this ravine; then when a settler came
he built his house near this path; the
path became a road; the houses along
it increased; the road became a street
and still the buildings increased. And
there, like the "Trail of the Calf," lies
Commercial street in all its quaintness
and. I am forced to say, in all its
beauty.
For it is built-up solidly on each side
with good DuiraingB and these are
mostly ocoupled as mercantile estab
lishments, many of them equal to that
of the Doyla & Powers Company. In
deed, you may go to many cities a

CHEHAL1S, Wash, April 11 (Spe

head of the Carllsle-Pennell Lumber
Company, a wealthy Eastern concern
whose headquarters are at Atchison,
Kan., and who has been passing some
time locally looking after extensive
business interests in this section, left
for his home at Atchison this week,
after seeing all plans well under way
for the great development work which
his company is now starting In South
west Washington.
Of especial importance to the people
of Lewis and Chehalis counties is the
announcement of Mr. Carlisle's com
pany as to its future plans, which al
ready have taken on lle near Copalis
on Orays Harbor and at Onalaska, IS
miles east of Chehalis, at both of which
points big sawmills are to be erected
at once.
The Carlisle-Pennell Company's tim

aggregate 36.000 acres, most all of
which are within a comparatively few
miles distance from the City of Che

Is located either in the fertile forks of

adjoining.
According to Mr. Carlisle when his
company gets its business In full swing
it will spell for the portion oi Lewis
County which is directly tributary to
Chehalis and Napavlne the greatest era
of industrial development and prosper
ity which it has ever known, and will
add immensely to the wealth of the
people. At Onolaska the company is
now placing a portable sawmill with
which to cut the lumber that will be
used in tha erection of a modern saw
mill of 100,000 dally capacity, with an
immense shingle mill to cut the cedar
timber for which the Newaukum sec
tion is famous.
A second mill of 100.000 capacity is
planned to be built later In the vicinity
of Clnebar. further east, to which sec
tion the Carlisle holdings extend, ana
It Is more than likely that even a third
sawmill of like capacity will be erected
near by at a later date.
All this will mean the employment
of hundreds of men in mills and camps.

That the farmers In all sections of
the state are very ready to adopt tried-and-true
scientific methods of farming,
as a means of Increasing the profits on
their lands. Is evidenced by the heavy
demand for the nitrogen-gathering
bacteria that la being manufactured in
the laboratories of the department ot
bacteriology at the University. Within
the past week or two, orders for the
product have been coming in, not only
from all sections of Idaho, but from
Washington and Oregon as well, and
more than 200 bottles of the manufac
tured article have already been shipped
out. The orders are increasing dally
and are expected to become heavier as
the Spring crop planting season comes
on.
The function of the product is to form
nodules on the roots of leguminous
plants, such as clover, alfalfa, peas and
beans, by a process of seed inoculation,
through which the plants can convert
nitrogen from the air into nitrate form
i a plant food.
In some sections of the state the soil
In its natural condition produces thai
root nodules without any artificial
treatment. In other sections, it Is said.
much of the soil will, without special
treatment, produce but scant yields,
owing to the Inability of the plants to
gather a sufficient quantity ot nitro
gen.
Extensive experiments with tne no
dule-producing product were conduct
ed last year on the University farm and
very gratifying results were obtained.
It was found that by Inoculating the
seed of Canada field peas the yield
could be almost doubled. Practically
the same results were obtained with
beans, alfalfa and clover.
The product Is shipped from the Lnl
verslty laboratories In four-ounce bot
tles, each containing from 10 to 50 bil
lion bacteria collected on a Jelly-like
substance. The contents of the bottles
are thoroughly mixed with sweet milk
and sugar and In that form applied to
the seed. Kach four-ounce bottle con
tains a sufficient quantity of bacteria
to inoculate seed for five acres ot
ground.
The product is sent to all applicants
upon receipt of only enough money to
