Llandudno Advertiser and List of Visitors

EMIGRANTS' INFORMATION; All emigrants landing in Canada between 1st March and 30th October must possess $25, and children $12.50 each and between 1st November and Jiaet day of February$50 and $25 re- spectively, and suffioient travelling money, only. All emigrants sent to Gaaiada by British Charitable Socieies or Public Funds, must ob- i tain certificates from the Canadian Emigration Authorities, Charing Cross, London, and must be guaranteed farm work or female domestic service in Canada. Any emigrant whoi, within three years of landing in Canada, becomes a public charge, or an inmate of a penitentiary, gaol, or hospital or other charitable institution, may be deported with those dependent on him or her. On and1 after the 1st day of August, 1910. all passengers landing at Canadian ocean ports, whether destined to points in the United States or to Canada, will have to undergo the medical and civil examinations prescribed by Law and Regulations of Canada Respecting Immigration and Immigrants., and those who are admitted and who, wish to got to points in the United States, may afterwards go before: the American officials and apply for admission to the States. Their e is a good demand' in Canada for farmers, farm labourers, and female servants, and a demand for mechanics (especially in the building trades), and strong railway labourers; but all emigrants must fulfil the above stringent requirements. The carpet weavers' strike at Guelph, and the coal mining strike at Spring Hill, Nova 8cotia, are still unsettled; that of coal miners at aI/ace Bay, Nova Scotia, has been settled. In New South Wales there are excellent open- ings fbT fanners with a little capital, for farm labourers for men on sheep aind cattle stations, and especially for dairymen. Con- siderable numbers of farm labourers have late- ly received assisted passages; to New South Walles, but the demand is still unsatisfied, and competent men of this cjass—(including a liimitedf number of married men with families— have no difficulty in getting good places. There are in several ,country towns very fair openings as a rule for mechainics, such as carpenters, bricklayers, masons, and blacksmiths, if they are not too specialised, and can afford to keep themselves till they find work, and railway navvies have been wanted. In Sydney and suburbs trades have been fairly busy, but there do-els not seem to be any special- demand for more wotrkers. Domestic servants continue to be in steady demand, and competent emi- grants of this class can obtain immediate em- ployment. Those who are most sought fotr are girls wo can do plain eooking together with a llittie laundry work and household duties. General servants who are able to cook can readily secure employment. There are more than enough of ladlieis' helps, ladies' com- panions, and governesses. In Victoria ftieehoid fairms of from 50 to 200 acres are now being offered by the Victorian I Government under a new Immigration Scheme; the purcase-money is to. be distributed oiver 31 years; specialaJlilütments up to 10 acres are offered to farm labourers with families; 80 per cent. of the passage money is advanced, repayable in five yearst, and advances to farmers are made in approved cases. In- tending applicants should register their names with the Agent-General for Victoria., Mel- bourne Place, Strand, London, W.C. The chief demand in Victoria is for com- petent farmers and fruit growers, for farm and general labourers, for men accustomed to work in otrohiairdis and vineyards, for men on sheep or cattle stations, amd for general female ser- vants. There is little demand for miners or general iabo/urers. In .South Australia there is a fair demand for cairpenters, bricklayers, tinsmiths, sheet metal workers, coach-makers .and blacksmiths. S'ueh men however should if they emigrate, have with tlhem enough money to live upon until they secure work. There is a good demand for farmers and fruit girowers with a little capital, and ;hetwetffi1 October and February there is a demand fofr- farm hands. There is also some opening for grooms, coachmen and men who are handy about a house or garden, "and for competent general labourers on reclamation and other works. There is no demand for more miners, the copper mines being well. sup- piied with men. There is a gtreat scarcity of useful domesiici servants, and .especially of general servants. The extensive system of free, nominated, and assisted passages gives emigrants greeat facili- ties for igqing to Queensland. There is a, -good demand for general farm labourers, especially dairy hands, and! for lads for milking and general farm work. There is a good demand in the country for married couples without family, or with working boys or girls; and for gooid stockmen. Good openings exist for ex- perienced farmers, with some capital, to take up selections on favourable termls" after they (have leatrned local conditions of climate and soil. There is no demand for more miners, except a few skilled coal miners. Female ser- vants are in demand in many parts, especially general servants who can eook. There is little opening for clerks or shop assistants; there is pot muich demand for mechanics, but there is room for more tailors and tia"crosses, country blacksmiths and wheelwrights. As regards Western Australia., there are practically free passages there for female ser- yants from 18 to 35 years old, and cheap pas- sages at £ 2 to R5 for bona-nde farmers-, farm labourers, market gardeners, or orehiardists or viignerons who are not over 50 years old. There is a good opening for farmers and fruit growers with a little capital, and Free Grants of 160 ares are made to settlers. There is a great scarcity of skilled farm labourers in the South West, and men who are able to plough and work farm machinery axe in keen demand. There its little olr no demand fbr miners or mechanics. In Tasmania miners at Zeefflan, Queenstown, and Gormanston, on the west coast, and in the surrounding districts, are well employed, and there is a good demand for tlheim :but the sup- jply of mechanics exceeds the demand every- where. The supply of farm labourers is not quite* suiffcient, and skilled men can get work. At New Norfolk there is a demand in summer from January to April for fruit- and, hop pickers. Reduced1 passages to New Zealand are offered to farmers and farm labourers with a little iruotney landing between September and Janu- ,ary,andi to female, domestic: servants who- will (have P.2 on* landing at any tdme, and for these I ,olasees of emigrant there is a ,good' demand. The last report of the Department of Labour of New Zealand shows as follows:-The cycle, and motor, coachbuiding printing, wood-working, building, and engineering and leatfoer trades were fairly active everywhere, and the meat- freezing and clothing trades were busy, but the local supply of hands was generally sufficient. There was -Little demand for more unskilled laborur,errs. With regard to the Provinces comprising the Union of South Africa, there has been a con- tinued improvement in Cape Colony recently, and there has been a limited demand at Cape Town far more hands in the building, brush- making, coach and waggon building, tanning, saddlery and harness, hoiler-making furniture and boot-making trades. But with these few exceptions tihe supply of mechanics and labourers is quite sufficient everywhere. Such persons, therefore, are cautioned against going to Cape CbfLony now, unless they go out to situatdons engaged, for tlhem, or have means of their own sufficient to keep them for some months. In the Transvaal the numbers of min- ing employees at the beginning of 1910 show a considerable increase of white labourers and of coloured, and a decrease of Chinese, who. have since 'disappeared altogether. The building trade is brisk, and more wiotrk is offering than at any time during the last three or four years; but there has been no difficulty hitherto, in finding the necessary men. There is no de- mand whatever for the "handiy-man," nor for shop-assistants, and the number of clerks and unskilled labourers is excessive. In Natal and the Orange Free State, the supply of male labour is quite sufficient. Throughout the i Union .and in Rhodesia female servants aire in soe demand, and the South African Colon- isati-on Society, 23, Army and Navy Mansions, (No. 2), 115,, Victoria Street, London S.W., is prepared to assist suitable applicants. -b- THE JULY STRAND MAGAZINE. A more than usually interesting collection of stories and articles appears in the July "Strand Magazine," among the best of the former being "The Fire Escape," by M-o-iiey Roberts, 'Colloys's Crux," a very fine story indeed, by E. Price Belli; "A Budget of Tares" by Austin Phillips, and a delightfully funny story by P. G. Wodehouse, entitled "By Advice of Coun- sel" H. A. Vachell contributes another fine story in the series entitled "At Gloriani's"; while the number alsio Contains a further thrilling instalment of A. E-. W. Mason's splendid. serial, "The Murder at Villa Rose." Then the article on "Customs at Foreign Courts" should' prove of interest to large num- | bers of people, as should also that entitled "Untying Hymen's Knot," which gives a host of interesting facts about Divorce. Harry Fur- niiss has an informative and humorous article on "Artists and Artistes," illustrated by his own sketches. Bart Kennedy writes a good' article on "With an American Circus," and Henry E'. Dudeney contributes another page of ingenious puzzles. Life-size portraits of the King and Queen and their children arrea.1so in- eluded in this issue which is, taken all round, quite up to the usual) high level associated with this excellent magazine. THE MODERN PRLME MINISTER. An interesting survey of the main relations between Crown and Consttiiltution during the reign of His late Majesty King Edward VII., is contributed to the July "Windsor Magazine" by Mr Alexander Mackintosh. He says, in the course of hisarticler:- "Although the modern Prime Minister has existed for only about a century and a half, and is unknown to. theilaw, his position in the 1State has "booome very powerful. The first occurrence of the term in an officlial document was in the Treaty of Berlin, and it was not till the close of 1905 that the Prime Minister re- ceived from the Sovereign place and precedence next after the Archbishop of York. In elaborate State ceremonies he -seefms a minor figure, yet in reality he wields the might of the State. He is the power hehand the Throne, directing it and ruling through it. Of course, his authority depends on the support of his Cabinet and of a majority in the House of Commons, and St is checked also by the prefetdge as well as by the prerogatives of the Crown, but the extension of the franchise has tended to .strengthen his position. He is in a sense nominated directly by the. electors. They may caire little for the ordinary member of Par- liament, and, (indeed, they may send their own representative to Westminster not at all for his own sake, but merely for the sake of his sup- port to their favourite leader; and thus, although the House of Commons, is not so meek as- some Constitutional critics suppose, the helad of the Government is the dtominatiing figure in the realm." The following amusing little, joke was recent- ly heard in an iron-mining village in Cleve- land. The vicar, observing one of his flock coming out of the village public-house, gravely said to him, "John, my friend, I am sorry to see you coming out of a public-house." "Yes, yer reverence, an' Ah's sorry to be seen ooomin' oot; but as Ah',s nee money left, and t' .landlord won't put it on t'slate, Ah had t' coom oot, otherwise thoo wouldn't ha' sin me for an hour or frwa as yit."

ROMAN REMAINS AT j BEDDGELERT. EXCAVATIONS ON DINAS EMRYS. Archaeologists, and particularly the members of the Cambrian Archaeological Society, will be interested, to know of the, .additional light which the past .fortnight has thrown upon the history of Dinas Emrys, at Beddgelert, long recog- nised as having been a British fortress. The Dlinas, as visitors to this far-famed.; district may remember, is a highlnsulateel hilil at the Bedd- gelesrt end of tihe Vale -of Gwynant, and is thickly .covered with trees and- bracken, so much so at this time 'of the year that they ren- der the paths ill-defined and call for the exer- case of xniuaS" wariness if a quick ascent of the summit is to be accomplished. Tradition con- nects this eminence with Vortigern and Merlin, and it is surmised1 that it was after the latter— Merlin Ambnosiius—that it obtained its name. At all events there (is overwhelming evidence that the slopes and summit of this hill con- stituted one of the strongholds of Snow-don at a very remote period. The ruins -of e.s.carp- ments have been discovered and reported upon from time to time. Pennent refers to. the ruin of a .stone building, tan yards long, on the sum- mit and additional; data, have been ftirnished by subsequent authorities. But as far as can be ascertained it is now for the first time that excavations to any appreciable extent below the surface have beein undertaken, and these are due to the enterprise of Mr T. E. Roberts, of Plasybryn, Carnarvon-, the owner of the farm of which DiÎnas Etnrys forms part. Eight men have been employed by Mr Roberts for the last fortnight, and to far the work, which, is being supervised by Mr Charles E. Breese (Port- mad,o,c), a prominent member of the Cambrian Arelhaeclogical Society, has yielded gratifying results. The -excavations have cuisclosed- the lower portion of a rectangular building, which meas- ures internally 32 feet by 23 feet, the width of the waliis at both ends and sides, being identi- e-ally 3ft. 9iin. The st,ones. for the most part have trimmed surfaces and are symmetrically set in mortar. Solid rocks forms the founda- tion, and some four feet from this the, building has a clearly defined bindting course. So far there has not been found any sign of an en- trance, and it is therefore quite possible that the entranc,e consisted of a wood-en ladder Leading up to the building. From the large quantity of stone which has been excavated1 it is quite certain that the walls were originally of a considerable altitude and it is possible that there was a superstructure of wood. One notable feature is the entire absence of shingle, slate, or other substance which might have foirmed mat.eria;l for roofing. In Mr Breese's opinion, based upon a companion with similar ruins elsewhere, the building iisi Romano-British and dates back to the third or fourth centuries. From the mass of material excavated and care- fully screened a. number of small "finds" have been rescued. Probably the most interesting of these are a dozen bronze stud nails with some of the Tivet,s attache,cl, and these were possibly used upon a shield. There have also be-em found a piece of a bronze cross-shaped article an,d, six ETnall art;fic-"a-ily polished stones similar to marbles, probably used for artistic embeM.sh.ment -on some article of dress or for the purpotees of some game. These latter were found 4ft. 6in. below the surface. A large quan- tiy of bones have been -discovered, but whether of the mammalian or the human type cannot be decided, untlil they have been submitted to expert examination. Teeth have also been found, and! among them can be identified those of the pig, the sheep, the! ox, and the horse. A large number of the (banes are calcine, and the soil of the whole building is strongly im- pregnated with charcoal. A BURGLAR'S SYMPATHY. The burglar entered softly by way of the window and looked round him. His eyes light- ed at once on a large piece of paper which lay ,9 on the table, with the w-otrlds "The Burglar" written thereon in large letters, and he started in somewhat uncomfortable surprise. "Meant for me, evidently," he saifd to. him- self, and pricked it up. This is what he read— "I know you are coming to-night—never mind (hidw. If you will take away this parcel and lose it effectually, you are welocme to what ells-e you can find in this r-oom." Wondeiriingly her opened the parcel, but at once has face clear, and he understood. "Pore chap!" he murmured feellmgly. "I'll take 'em for 'dm, right enough, and let 'im off easy too. I'm a father meself." For the contents of the parcel were as fojlows:- One toy trumpet, one drum. (large), one toy concertina,, -one tambourine, one musical box, one mouth-organ, three tin whistles, one aax- gun. WHY ARE HOLIDAYS INJURIOUS? You who are breathing the invigorating sea. air and feeling fresh and "fit" -do not believe the above suggestion. Yet it is la fact that many people permanently injure their health during tihat enjoyable- fortnight by the sea. Shall we tell you how ? Simply by indiscretions of diet. Fresh air is a wonderful tonic and ■creates a natural appetite. The town-dweller at the seaside has a zest for meals absolutely unkown at home. 'That, of course, is good, but fif you value your heaitih^—be careful how you -gratify that appetite. Your digestive organs ,aTe. ,ciapaAble of a ,certain 'amount of work only; if you overtax them they will surely irebeil. Cramming is as bad for the stomach as far the brain. Nourish yourself with concentrated fOOld, in the form of currants, which contadn 99 per cent. soluble matter. Bat less ordinary bread, and more CURRANT BREAD, which .contains that most wonderful ,O,f all foods, the If tile Greek currant. All lead- ing bakers supply Currant Bread, Currant Sc-one-s, Currant Biscuits, and other currant I dainties. Have you heard the latest billiard conun- drum? No! Weil, here it is:— "'What made the red ball biush?' 'Why, when it saw the two- whites "kiss" in the corneT." "Sir, I want your daughter's hand." "You may have it wlith the greatest pleasure, dear boy, if you'll' take the one that's always in my pocket."
