BRODIE and Cowiz joined the Board a new era of progress has been established. Borneo has been telegraph cally connected with the rest of the civilized globe, and an inestimable boon this will be found when the products of that country find their legitimate places in the markets of the world. It will also give an impetus to the coal trade hitherto undreamt of. It was natural that no British Admiral would care-in such tickilah times as we now live in, to allow vessels of his fleet to go so far from his control as Labuan, with no magic wire to recall them. Now it is different. Labuan will in future be largely availed of as directions in which the cable will benefit the island.

I notice some bitch has occurred to the negotia- tions that were proceeding in Slam, and through which some Japanese hoped to secure land for rice cultivation in that country. What, it is fair to ask, the Chartered Company doing in the matter? Cannot it offer to the Japs, as good paddy-land on belter terms than the Slamese ?
The chief topic of laterent here is the overland telegraph line. Patties of natives are now engaged in searching for a suitable way to bring it through the forests, but a good deal has already been done on the West Coast end. There the country is more open and the progress is com-
paratively rapid. Towards this end, however, the way l'es through forests of immensely tall trees, and the question is how to guard against possible interruption o to the line by fa

And for preventing creepers from attaching themselves to the wires, it has been suggested that the land might be cultivated sad something planted that would give a return and help to pay the ap-keep; cotton, for instance.
