PROSPERITY
W -ll, the lush will he oyer in a day
or two and then we may all set back
and take stock of things and lay our
plans for the coming winter. The
season just passed, has been, generally
speaking, a good one for everybody.
Not for a long while have the workers, !
the men on whose prosperity is based j
the prosperity of most all of us, en
joyed a better working season. Labor
has been plentiful and few if any have
been idle if they wished to work.
Taking them as a whole the working
miners all possess a well filled poke as
a result of their summer's labor and
<-an abide the winter 'in comfort with
a few dollars in their jeans for sun
dry amusements. In equal degree the
employer of labor have all done well.
The summer has been an exceptional
one for the operators, with little water
shortage and few other hindrances to
restrict their operations and. like the
working miners, most of them can pro
ceed to other endeavors w ith I he se
rene composure born of a well padded
bank account. The dredge men d'id
not fare eo luckily owing lo a .some
what belated spring curtailing the
working season, liut tin majority did
right well when under way and in sev
eral instances achieved the best results
in several years. Our trade and com-'
mercc has averaged up very close to
the standard of the last year or two
and the general tone of business has
been healthy. The best proof of the
general prosperity is that there has ;
not been, a single oommere'ial or min
ing failure anywhere on the Peninsula,
so far as we can learn. It is true that
some of tiie business houses claim they
have not done as well as formerly lint
with one exception none of them closed
their doors and the one single instance
: was not by any means due to a short
In go on Hie debit side of (lie ledger.
Taking it all in all, the season has
I treated us pretty fa’ir. The minor,
the business man, tlie laborer, one and
ell, have enjoyed at least a fair meas
ure of prosperity: there is no one
in serious want among us and most
of us have a few dollars laid snugly
away against a rainy day. Outside
th<'j are facing serious prospect of food
shortages, higher prices, labor unrest,
and a variety of other undesirable
things hut we are well provided in
every line of food commodity and are
thus insured against wanting for this
01 that, and also against the further
increase in prices ’incident to market
shorttages. Taking tilings altogether,
! we are pretty well off and can well
afford to sit back in our easy chairs
and let tile world wag along for little
of its poverty, its misery or strife can
touch us for a good tong while to
come.

CANADA CALLS FOR SPEED
The criticisms by British newspa
pers, both Tdberal and l'nion'ist, and
tlie apparent stagnation on the west
ern front, expresses real public if cling.
Military reports from British head
quarters say that pressure is being
exerted on the Germans, who are los
ing heavily. But even if tiie German
casualties are twice as many as ttiose
of the British, we know from tlie week
ly figures of the latter that tt#y cati
i not he large enough to reduce the Ger
man military power in the herd so
very much. Gen. .Maurice recently
stated that the1 British army in France
and Flanders numbered between two
and three million, and the French ar
mies at the front arc still at least
two million against German forces
reported In the French headquarters
to number about 2,200,000. Surely the
long winter months are not going to
descend upon the. warring nations
without something big attempted by
the entente to trumpet forth hope for
191S. Germany is being steadily worn
down, it is true, hut it lias formidable
power left, and the winter may operate
as tnueh for it in some ways jis
against it in others. There is up use
disguising the fact that the Knro
pean allies’ situation, ccononiically and
politically, is not altogether satisfac
tory. This is not surprising, sinct
all the major belligerents in Kurnpe
are in various stages of war-weariness,
and it is a question which side can out
last tlie other. Vast reliance is being
placed on the- I'nited States to.fur
nish the sustaining strength *o entry
the entente through to complete tri
umph.
A government containing Lloyd
George. Sir Kdward Carson and others
of stern caliber is not likely to lack
determined tenacity. Sir Kdward Car
son recently declared that Germany
would not have lienee until German
troops were driven across the rthlne.
That goal is not in the 1917 horizon.
Can Germany liipl enough new
strength over winter to face the allied
armies on the western front including
the I'nited States troops and hold
them as the allied armies have been
held in 1917? Sucti questions as that
are asked, and the course of events
on the western front at present sug
gosts no confident answer.- Toronto
