Dumas, on Saturday evening, when over 60 persons were present the hall being filled to capacity. The meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, and also to elect delegates for the Liberal convention to be held in Anyox; on the following Wednesday. The meeting was presided over by Mr. C. P. Riel. The first business brought up, was the election of officers, and the following were elected*. Hon. President, H. P. Kergin, M. L. A.*, President, C. P. Riel; Vice-President, G. W. Bruggy; Secretary, S. Dumas; Treasurer, H. Fowler; Executives, J. Fiva, O. Flint, AL "Falconer. Delegates to utteud the Anyox convention were then elected, and Messrs. H. Fowler. C. P. Riel, S. Dumas, Al. Falconer, and J. Fiva were elected. Speeches were then given by several of those present. Mr. H. B. Chapman, former president of the Anyox Liberal Association being the first speaker. Mr. H. F. Kergin then gave an address. He confined his remarks chiefly to the work of members of the government when parliament is in session, and proved conclusively that a member spent an arduous time in Victoria, despite the general opinion to the contrary. Messrs. H. Fowler, and C. P. Riel also gave addresses espousing the Liberal platform. Logging Operations are Progressing Logging operations by ■ the Granby Co. at Alice Arm are progressing satisfactory. Number 2 oamp is hauling about 50,000 feet per day over the Dolly Varden railway. One log brought down laBt week contained 7000 feet of lumber. It was thirty* two feet in length, and measured nine feet in diameter at the butt. The Company's mill at Larcom Island commenced sawing lumber with a full crew this morning. As soon as sawn lumber is available from the mill, the railway trestle at Camp 2 will be completed and the hauling of logs to tide water will commence. S. Dumas Takes Logging Contract Mr. S. Dumas has taken a contraot from the Granby Co. to log off all the timber between the west bank of the Kitsault river and the town of Alice Arm. The total amount of timber comprises about 100,000 feet b. m. Work is now well under way. As soon as this piece of ground has been logged, Mr. Dumas will move to the east bank of the river, higher up the stream, where he has contracted to log about 1,000,000, feet. Monthly Meeting of Anyox Parent-Teacher The regular monthly meeting of the Anyox Parent-Teacher Association was held on Monday, May 12. in the new sohool. In the absence of the President, Mrs. Dwyer, the chair was occupied by Principal Manzer. The meeting opened with the singing of "'0 Canada," and the reading of the minutes of the last meeting. After the reports of the different officers and regular routine business, Mr. McKnight, who represented the Association at the Convention of the Provincial P. T. Federation r in Vancouver at Easter, presented in detail a very interesting report. Some of the chief topics of discussion there, were, "Mal-nutrition of children, the desirability of a Home Economics course in U. B. C, the dress and chaperonage of 'teen-age girls, and Bible reading in the schools. As delegate from the most Northern Association, Mr. McKnight was made fifth Vice-President of the Provincial Federation, quite an honour for Anyox. After the presentation of his report, the Speaker of the evening received a vote of thanks for having agreed at such short notice, to devote part of a brief holiday in so unusual a manner, and for carrying out his task so conscientiously. Refreshments and music brought the evening to a close, Mrs. Bag- will and Miss Leitch providing a musical treat with duets rendered in faultless style. The next meeting will probably take the form of a concert and social in honour of the departing teachers, in accordance with the custom of previous years. Kitsault River Bridge Is Completed Work on. the Kitsault river bridge will be brought to a conclusion this evening, and a much discussed project will be a reality. A bridge across the Kitsault has been badly needed for a number of years, and when it was evident that logging operations were to be oonducted across the stream, a bridge was a necessity. The length of the bridge span is 230 feet, and the total length of the bridge, including approaches, is 648 feet. A general view of the bridge from upstream shows a graceful and substantial structure. Tbe roadway of the bridge curves up and the cables carrying the structure have a downward curve. The construction of the bridge has been done under the supervision of Mr. Paul MoMaster, who has built hundreds of bridges throughout the province, and great oredit is due to him for the excel! ent results obtained.

Should Never Start Theodore Roosevelt is credited with the remark that "Ninety per cent of wisdom consists of being wist* in time." In the past we Canadians, with the exception of a few whom tlie majority thought rather crazy than otherwise, have sat apathetically by and witnessed the destruction annually by forest fires, of our second largest natural asset, our timber. The repeated hammering in of their ideas by the small minority, has, however, at length roused the people at large, to a realization of the enormity of our loss by lire, Consequently, the past week has by Royal Proclamation been declared "Save the Forest" week. Throughout tlit* length and breadth of Canada forest protection is being preached in the pulpit and in the press and forms the subject of addresses by, officers of all our forest protection organization. Will we be wise in time? There is yet time to save the great herit- ageof our timber for our children, but, we are rapidly approaching a point when this will be no longer possible unless some method is devised of checking the annual destruction. When we know that only fourteen per cent of our fires arc caused by lightning and therefore non- preventable, this does not seem impossible to achieve as eighty-six per cent are caused by man who has the remedy in his own hands. Wherein does this remedy lie? Not with the state, not with the legislature, not with the municipality, but with the individual. You and I, Bill Smith and Jack Jones, are the persons who can stop the fires. Who but a lunatic, seeing a fire start in one of our cities would not rush to the nearest fire alarm or himself attempt to extinguish it? Yet daily throughout the summer otherwise good sane citizens will consistently leave their camp fires burning, throw away cigar or cigarette in the woods, or start a running fire in a slashing which they know they are powerless to check once it has gained a certain head. Are these fires dissimilar from those in our cities and are they fraught with no danger? In 1916 in Northern Ontario one forest fire cost the lives of 223 people and 800,000 acres were swept bare in three days. It is the duty of every citizen, first to exercise the utmost care with fire himself, secondly, on discovering a lire to extinguish it if possible, but a;t last, to report it to the nearest forest officer. Quick action on any fire is the one sure method of extinguishing it. In addition to, the paid staff of the Forest Service, we have in British Columbia a large body of volunteer firewardens, patriotic citizens who are preaching the gospel of forest protection without remuneration and have banded together to help to stay the destructive work of the "rod enemy." By their assistance we are yearly getting quicker action on our fires. Are you less patriotic than they? In Norway and Sweden there are practically no forest fires. There, when a fire (Joes occur, the man power is conscripted to fight it. We as a people always held conscription in scorn, until an exceptional state of circumstances forced it upon us during the Great War. We still dislike the idea as being repugnant to our ancient traditions. The alternative is voluntary service, "not as fire fighters on the line, with mattock and shovel, but as fire-preventers handling it with care ourselves, inculcating the same principal in others and loyally supporting all organized efforts to combat a.very real and a very treacherous foe.

Hart, chairman assisted by Bros. Cross, Hutchings, and Ward. QUALITY vs. QUANTITY There appeared recently in print the story of two youngsters who had just opened up lemonade stands in the same block. An elderly gentleman passing the first stand noticed the drink advertised at two cents a glass. The boy down the street was selling his drink at five cents. After drinking two glasses of the lemonade from the bowl at the first stand the elderly gentleman approached the lad in charge of the second little business and addressed him after this manner: "Young man, how can you expect to sell your lemonade at five cents when you have a competitor offering the finest lemonade I ever drank at 2 cents?" "Well, mister," said the boy, we're in partnership. The cat fell in his bowl about an hour ago, and we decided we'd get rid of his lemonade quick, before the news spread too far." There is always a reason for low price. Quantity and quality seldom are companions in the same package. Few people can remember when they ever got something for nothing. And still some people will buy oranges from a peddler at ten cents a dozen and expect to get 80-cent grade. Would you expect eggs at ten cents a dozen to be fit for anything else but serenades?—Sun- kist Courier.
