March 4, 1933 5 cents each', Anyox Mine and Mill Resumed Operations This Week Slowly but surely the big plant of the Granby Co. is getting back to normalcy, and viewing the progress made toward this end since the strikers were expelled, it will be only a short time before every department of the ore reduction plant and mine, will again resound with the clangor of activity. A steady stream of men from outside points are reaching Anyox and being put to work, chiefly at the mine. They come from various parts of the province and now that the stream has commenced it is expected to swell in volume as time goes on. The first efforts towards a resumption of operations was the movement of ore already broken down at the mine. This ore is now being moved out and yesterday the concentrating mill commenced activities. The smelter is expected to commence treatment of concen trates in a day or two and when this.k accomplished the mine staff will be gradually built up until a full force of miners are again working, Anyox will then enjoy her old time prosperity, everyone working and drawing a regular wage or salary. Sufficient to live on and a little left for pleasure. Anyox Workers Cause Riot In Vancouver J. Buntain Heads Poll For Community League Councillors The election for councillors for the Anyox Community League took place on Wednesday. The turnout of voters was the largest for many years and great interest was taken in the election. J. Buntain, "the Popular Mechanic" headed the poll with 174 votes. The following comprise the new council: J. Buntain, J. Shields, F. B. Faulkner, E. R. Johnson, A. H. Stewart, J, Donaldson, F. Dresser, R. J. A. Manning. A riot occurred at Vancouver on Friday night, February 24th. during which several shots were fired over the heads of rioters by the police to protect themselves. The riot occurred in the vicinity, of the Union Steamship Company's dock when several hundred Communists and unemployed endeavored to prevent the men going to work at Anyox from boarding the steamer Catala. The police were attacked with bricks, stones and lumps of coal, but after the shots were fired by a number of policemen who were surrounded and in danger, the mob retreated, breaking a number of plate glass windows with rocks as they dispersed. It was the first riot in recent years that the Vancouver police were forced to use firearms. Only minor injuries were received in the struggle. George Bruggy Interested In . Cwriboo Mining George W. Bruggy, former merchant and mine owner of Alice Arm returned to Vancouver last week from a trip into the Barkerville district of the Cariboo country. During his visit there George met many old northern friends, among whom was Angus McLeod, formerly superintendent at the Beach Molybdenum at Alice Arm. Angus is now superintendent of the Burns Mountain Gold Quartz Mines Ltd. near Barkerville. Among other interests in the Cariboo, George has secured an interest in the Dragon Mountain Gold Quartz Group. Princess Norah Arrives With Forty-Five Men Only two men were brought to Anyox by the Catala on Monday last, but about 11 30. the C. P. R. ship Princess Norah docked and landed forty-five mine workers, It was most encouraging to the residents to see these men stream steadily off the boat. There was a large number of passengers on the boat bound for Juneau and other northern ports. No time was lost at Anyox the Norah leaving at 12.20 for Prince Rupert, sailing from that port north. United Church Mission Boat Visits Anyox A notable visitor to Anyox on Tuesday afternoon last, was the Rev. G. A. Wilson, D. D., Superintendent of Missions for British Columbia for the United Church of Canada. He arrived on the mission boat Thomas Crosby along with the Rev. A. Scott, evangelist, who is the engineer of the boat; Dr, Austin M. D; and Rev. Capt. R. W. Scott and Mis. Scott. In visiting Anyox the Thomas Crosbie is somewhat off the beaten track, her northern point of call being Ocean Falls. Many small places are visited and much practical and medical work is undertaken. The party left Anyox on Wednesday morning for Ocean Falls. I.O.D.E.

Anyox Strikers & Police Battle At Prince Rupert Special to the Herald Prince Rupert, B. C, March 2— A clash between several hundred Anyox striking miners and sympathizers and police occurred here. yesterday morning, which ended in the rioters being dispersed by the police with many sore heads as a result of several baton charges. Several policemen received cuts and bruises from rocks thrown by the strikers, and one was taken to the hospital for treatment. Only one arrest was made, namely, Robert Thomas Carter, who appeared to be the leader of the strikers. The trouble commenced when several hundred men marched towards the Canadian National Dock with the purpose of intercepting a few men who were going to Anyox to work. The crowd was stopped by the police, but they broke away and attempted to cross the railway track. Swinging their batons the constables drove them back and followed them as far as a vacant lot at the rear of the Post Office, opposite the Central Hotel. Here the strikers made a stand, there being a good supply of rocks on the vacant lot, and as the police advanced to the attack the air was filled with flying stones, but the strikers were quickly driven off. Elks Hold Card Party And Dance A successful card party and dance was held by the Elks on Friday last, a fair number turning out to enjoy an evening's diversion. Whist as well as bridge was indulged in and the usual congenial atmosphere noted at all Elks' functions prevailed. At the whist tables the first prize was won by Mrs. Coates, while Mrs. Varnes annexed the booby parcel. Alec Wright walked off with the first prize for men and Geo. Higgins turned in a nice low score for the booby offering. The bridge prize winners were: ladies first Mrs. Stretton, with Mrs. Kydd as low scorer. Mr. Boudreau topped the list for the men, while W. Gibb had the low score. A most appetizing supper was served, after which dancing was the order, with the Merrymakers' Orchestra dispensing excellent music. 1 Tom Bradley, formerly commander-in-chief of the Anyox strike forces, is now interested in fishing. Last week he addressed a meeting of the Fishermen's Industrial Union at Prince Rupert. ^^ ALIOE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD. Saturday.

E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. Life Insurance Is Safest Investment In a year when business statements are, on the whole, far from cheering the published experience of life insurance makes heartening reading. While other investments have too often proved disappointing, every policy held in our life insurance companies is still worth one hundred cents on the dollar, with substantial additions in accumulating dividends. The steady flow of insurance funds into productive industry is one of the greatest mainstays of business today. But few realize the extent of this financial support in the case of individuals. Payments to policyholders and their dependents during the year, for instance, by the Sun Life of Canada, whose statment appears in another column, climbed to over $108,000,- 000. A portion of this represents money that the assured could obtain only on the value of their policies to meet the special exigencies of a distressing period. These and other conditions during the past three or four years have subjected life insurance companies to a most exacting test. The war and the influenza epidemic by abnormally increasing mortalities, produced a situation against which human foresight could scarcely provide. The financial catastrophe by which they were so closely followed created conditions that only the strongest institutions could withstand. Yet, during the three years in question, the business of the Sun Life Company increased by nearly five hundred million dollars and its assets by forty three million dollars. Tha number of its policyholders increased during that period, by over two hundred thousand and now amounts to nearly a million. This resiliency under abnormal strain is both amazing and reassuring to the man in tlie street. One explanation of the ability ol an insurance company to meet all its obligations under such trying conditions is that its obligations are bo scientifically estimated that it is able to provide for all expenditures out of ordinary revenue. This renders it unnecessary to dispose of assets during a period ol' depressed prices, and makes the fluctuation of security prices a matter of no special concern. The report of the Sun Life refers to the fact that the total of its assurance* in force—nearly three billion dollars—will be payable during the present generation. If to this huge sum be added the amount payable during the same period by other insurance companies, the wholesome effect upon the economic and social situation in the coming years can scarcely be over-estimated. Employer: "Surely MissWilkins you know the King's English?" Fair Typist: 'Of course! Why? I've never thought of him as anything else!" , Over 1000 Claims Are Staked At Barkerville During January Gold mining ruled Provincial news of the week, with 1,118 claims and leases filed in the Barkerville recording office for January, and a new batch of eighty claims and leases in the Williams Lake office, to the south, the latter affecting Keithley Creek and Likely. Revival of the old gold camp at Leach tow ii', on Vancouver Island; restakingof old tax-reverted Crown grant claims east of Harrison Lake; renewed activity at Zeballos River, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island; and many favourable re-| ports from other mining areas of the Interior and North were noted during the last few days. The Cariboo is not alone in the freshened activity occurring at gold camps, and from present indications a great deal of new employment will result this year from developments now under way. Gold pro d uct'ioh of more than $5,000,000 is looked for this year, and this may readily he surpassed if half of what prospectors and miners are basing their hopes upon conies true. Can adian and outside money is flowing into several areas to an impressive degree, while the Cariboo will see an oldtime rush in modern settings, Welsh People Arrange Trip For Eisteddfod Welsh people from all parts of Canada will visit their homeland this summer to attend the 1933 Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales at Wrexham during the first week in August, it was announced this morning by the Canadian National Railways local office.

March 4. 1933 ii Provincial Expenditures Will Be Heavily Curtailed Victoria, February 18th. 1933— The capital was quiet this week, with chief efforts directed towards the preparation of provincial estimates for 1933-34 and the panel of new legislation to be introduced at the final session of the Seventeenth Legislature, opening on February 23rd. While official statement cannot be expected in advance of the budget, there is good ground to believe that provincial expenditures will be curtailed to about $22,000,000. compared to nearly $30,000,000 two years ago, and $24,688,000 estimated (but not all expended) iu the closing fiscal year. New legislation will be at a minimum, save for severely necessary measures. The Herald is $2.00 a vear. Revenue of C. N. Railways Show Increase Montreal, Que., February 25th.— Net revenues for 1932 of $10,039,- 925—$2,454,196 greater than in 1931—was reported today by Canadian National Railways. The figures did not include the Eastern Lines. The Railway reported gross revenues of $143,414,873 and operating expenses of $133,374,947. Receipts were $33,858,864 below those of 1931 but operating expenses were reduced by $36,313,060. Eastern Lines of the Canadian National, operated under the provisions of the Maritime Freight Rates Aot, had gross revenues in 1932 of $17,688,720, a deorease of $5,542,703 from 1931. Operating expenses were $21,833,213. a reduction of $7,791,773 as compared with the previous year. The net Government Loses In Oil Tax Battle The British Columbia Government has lost the first round in the fuel oil tax case, and will appeal direct to the Privy Council for final settlement of the argument. The tax was imposed in June last, and was estimated to produce $385,000 in revenue in 1932, at the rate of half a cent a gallon on fuel oil used. The act being tested is the Amend' ment Act of 1932, by which it was hoped to cure earlier defects in existing legislation sponsoring the tax. Provincial officials still believe the law will stand, and are prepared to support this contention before the highest tribunal. revenue deficit on the Eastern Lines was $4,144,492, an improvement of $2,249,070 on the 1931 results. on Life Assurance Company of Canada Incorporated 1865 Head Office - Montreal THE inherent strength of life assurance has been tested and proved during the past three years of general business recession, and the invaluable service it renders the public in times of emergency fully demonstrated. THE Sun life of Canada, during this period—probably the most trying in human experience—has maintained its record of progress, and has been of especial service to its great body of policyholders throughout the world.

Exp'i 1931 $920,000,000 A study showing the comparison between the cost of Government in Canada and the [arm value of all field crops has been prepared by W. Sanford Evan:-, and released for the National Committee on economy in public! finance by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. The study, as illustrated by the chart, Indicates that in 1913 the total sum expended by governments for ordinary purposes was equal to BO per cent. of the farm value of all field crops in Canada. In 1331 Governments expended a sum equal to 216 per cent, of the value of all field crops. As prices were exceptionally low and yield not high in 1931, another comparison is added. The average value of all field crops for the 5 years, 1927-1931, including; three years of good prices, was $8(>C 000,000, while the ordinary expenditures of governmental in 1931 were $920,000,000. Whereas m 1913 a sum equal to one-half tlie value of the field! crops sufficed to moot ordinary povcrr.mcnt expenditures, a stage lias now been reached where the average value of all field crops fills short hy many millions of dollars of meetina the ordinary requirements of governments. Editorial Comment Supports Beatty Consolidation Plan Editorial opinion throughout Canada has been very largely in favor of the proposals advanced by E. W. Beatty, K.C., Chairman and President, Canadian Pacific Railway, looking toward the consolidation of the two railway systems under one management, as the only practical means of relieving the intolerable burden upon the Canadian taxpayers. Mr. Beatty made his proposal in a recent speech before the Toronto Canadian Club, and the following paragraphs from leading editorials on tho subject, clearly indicate the nation-wide scope of supporting public opinion. A total of 47 daily newspapers commented up to January 20th, of which 32 were in favor of consolidation. "This is far and away the most. candid, constructive, and striking contribution to the discussion of our transportation problem that has yet been made." — Montreal Gazette. "Drastic action appears to be essential if the tremendous burden is to be lifted from the shoulders of our people."—Halifax Herald. "It Is essential with our small population that the railway mileage and service should not outrun the needs of the country."—Hall- fax Chronicle. "Mr. Beatty's call for action is timely." — Saint John Telegraph- Journal. "There Is much that appeals in Ihe suggestion of Mr. E. W. Beatty, K.C."—Hamilton Herald. "We agree with the President of the Canadian Pacific Railway that the country must get down to bed rock."—Mail & Empire, Toronto. "Mr. Beatty has offered a solution of the railway problem, definite steps to this end should not be delayed."—Border Cities Star, Windsor. "The most constructive of all suggestions have emanated from Mr. Beatty."—Victoria Colonist. "He urges the drastic remedies he deems necessary, regardless of every consideration, except the salvation of the two great railway systems and of the State."—Vancouver News. "Mr. Beatty's carefully considered pronouncement compels serious thought, as to whether the unexplored perils of a monopoly are great enough to require that the Canadian public shall go on paying millions annually for the doubtful privilege of having separate systems."—Woodstock Sentinel-Review, "It would be a muddle worse confounded If the Duff recommendations were to be adopted by Parliament." — Sherbrooke Dally Record. "Mr. Beatty's view Is obviously in accordance with the general movement as it Is cominp; throughout the world."—Ottawa Citizen. "What the country needs is a cool-headed solution of a tough problem. We can't afford to go on as we are doing. The one fact stands out, that the Duff Commission report was based on politics, while Mr. Beatty's arguments rest on the plain business requirements of the situation"— Sault Ste. Marie Star. "Mr. Beatty has courageously made clear the issue between half- baked quasi public ownership, and full private ownership and man- asemeut, operating under the control of Parliament."—Moose Jaw Times. "With no solution reached, Mr. Beatty's address should be read and digested. If there is to be consolidation there must either be a publicly owned system or a privately owned system. That is the issue. The Duff Commission did not settle it." — Lethbridge Herald. "The more one studies the cold figures in the case and acquires a better understanding of the disastrous results financially in the operation of the C. N.
