BRITISH NORTH.. BORNEO MEETING.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERRITORY.
The coth half-yearly meeting of the British North Borneo Company was heldi last month at the Cannon-street Hotel, London; Sir West Ridgeway presiding.
The Chairman referred at the ontset to the sudden death of the new governor, Mr. J. Scott Mason, who only assumed office a month before his untimely end. and said that by his death they had been deprived of the services of one of the

But the poorest members of our company are fascars and their situation is so peculiar that I feel I must describe what it is In the National Insurance Bill, as first drawn, the lascar was to contribute, the employer was to contribute, and the State was to contribute, but, marvellous to say, of all these contributions the Lascar was

Can say that in all probability before the line you imaging the lawyers and their gic had been transformed from a light when they drew the particular clauses to pioneer into a strong and durable railway which I refer in that Bill? When I uawthat sum would be considerably ine these clauses, I took the liberty of writing to two members of the Cabinet with whom may claim some little intimacy, and pointed out the ridiculous character of the proposals which the Bill-contamed: I received from the Secretary of State for India a letter, not admitting the Bill could be wrong, because one would never expect an admission of that kind from industry), and Jesselton--and the ques so high an authority (laughter), but stating that the matter would be referretion of a fourth station at Lahad Datu to the Board of Trade, and everything One of the principal objects of the board's in Darvel Bay was also being considered. would be in that case, as it should be (Laughter.)

Now I have never heard of mora perverse and unfair proceeding than is involved in that decision, and I am perfectly at a loss to account for it, unleas it be true, as sometimes is suggested, Bat the Board of Trade are under the thumb of the Seamen's and Firemen's Union, for the Lasears are British residents as much as if they were born in Limehouse or Wapping, and yet this gross injustice is committed, in regard to the many lines who are obliged to employ Lascar crews, among them being this particular com pany, who employ these men to carry His Majesty's mails. I need hardly allude to our work of enlarging part of the build- ing which we have here, and building, at the rear of these offices, of premises ab- solutely necessary for our present work. to say nothing of what may he required for some years hence. At all events, these operations do not look in any way like our flitting from this old shop to any more aristocratic neighbourhood.

RUBBER AND OIL
He was glad to report that the rubber industry in the territory was making most satisfactory progress-indeed, more so than the most sanguine of them at one time expected. There were two features in reference to the territory to which he must make a passing reference. One was that they were on the point of concluding arrangements for a large cattle-raising conecasion in the Hinterland of the West Coast and the other was that they had granted a large concession for the felling and export of timber. Considerable activity had been displayed in the matter. of exploiting the territory for oil. The British Borneo Petroleum Syndicato, which was subsidiary to the British Borneo Exploration Company, had effect- an arrangement with the Dutch Colonial Petroleum Company by which that Company was under obligation to spend a large sum in undertaking an energetic exploitation of the petroleum resources of British North Borneo, drilling of the Klias Peninsula and all including the immédiate development by further oilfields which might be located. The whole of British North Borneo was about to be subjected, to a thorough and systematic examination on a large scale for the
purpose of locating all the petroleum deposits, which it contained.. He regetted to report that the tobacco crop of 1911 had not proved so satis- factory in point of price as that of 1916, but the prospects of the industry as a whole were more favourable at the present moment than they had been for some time In Bantry Bay the Thunderer, with the past.
