Mr, Southam . announced that the next meeting would be an address on some literary topic by Principal Brady of Prince Rupert, a man of outstanding brilliancy. The address of the evening was delivered by Rev. Father Fleck of Anyox whose subject was "The1 Home the Primeval school of Moral Training." The great importance of the Mothers influence upon {the child was stressed, arid'instances were'taken from the lives of great men in order to prove the point. A strong appeal was made to the parents not to neglect the spiritual aspect nor lea"v_" wholly to the Churoh for if so the "nation is bound to suffer. Father Fleck's* address was most earnest and helpful and was much appreciated by the audience. Delightful vooal solos were rendered by Mrs. Morning and Mr, Haggerty, who , wtere ably accompanied by Mrs. O'Neill, and with the serving of refreshments the meeting adjourned, Construction of Kitsault River Bridge May Commence The work of extending the wing dam above the town closed down yesterday morning.' As soon as the exact,location of the Kitsault river bridge has been determined the dam will be extended in order to protect the west pier. Mr,! Geo. Young on his return from Stewart on Tljursday,, stated to the Herald that to date no word: had been received as to- when construction of the Kitsault bridge wbiild be commenced, but would probably commence early in March No word has been received1 that the, money for this work has been appropriated by the government but ho difficulty is expected in this direction as the, Public Works Department fully realize the neoes sity of a bridge at this point. logging operations this year at Alice Arm have taken a considerable quantity of timber from their holdings on the Kitsault River flats since they commenced operations last spring. Slightly over 8,000,000 feet have been shipped to the big paper making plant at Ocean Falls. There are 2,250,000 feet in the water, and booming operations on these logs is Hearing completion. There is a considerable quantity of logs yarded in the woods and shortly after the New Year, Mr. J. O, Trethewey estimates \hat there will be a total of 4,000,006 feet yarded , ready for hauling to the watej*. This will make a total of 9,250,000 feet of lumber that has been logged this year. The 4,000. 000 feet now being yarded has all been taken from Lot 60, which comprises 95 acres of timber laud Mr. Trethewey stated" to, the Herald that owing to high cost of insurance during the winter months no booms will be shipped south until next May. It is proposed to continue logging operations throughout the winter. At "itte present time one yardert engine is being used instead of two and the railway will not be operated until next spring, other landings for logs will be Used on the Illiance river independent of the railway. During the week the working staff has been reduced, and about thirty men are now employed, If the weather conditions 'are favorable after the New Year, p, full force will again be employed*, Mr. Trethewey stated that logging operations would-be carried on the whole of next summer and also part of the following summer. Arrangements are being made whereby the Granby Co., who will be operating camps here next summer, will use a part of the railway of the Abbots* ford Logging Co. and vise-versa. Fishing is Good At Alice Arm The big spring salmon are already disporting themselves in the Alice' Arm inlet. Mr. Harry; Fowler brought in two fine specimens of the finny tribe on Wednesday, which he obtained' by trawling. One of the beauties tipped the scales at 37 pounds, and the other weighed 22 pounds. Fifty-nine pounds of good spring salmon in a. few hours is pretty good fishing, and anyone who is a follower of Isaac Walton can appreciate the pleasure -and excitement afforded in landing these big fish.; Alice Arm Contractors Have Completed Work The local contractors who left last summer to construct the Hyder-Stewart government road have completed their contract. fThey finished the polishing process simultaneously with the first fall of: snow. It is conceded by everyone that the construction of the road is one of the finest pieces of road work to be found in the north. All the contractors were good hard rock men, and well known High School Rummage Sale to be Held Today Iii order to obtain money for athletics the pupils of the Granby Bay High Sohool, Anyox, will hold a rummage sale .in their school building (formerly known as the "Old School,") today Saturday Deoember 15th. at 2 p. m. As such a thing has never, to the knowledge of the oldes.t inhabitants, taken place in Anyox before the prospective rummage sale is arousing interest, especially as it is undertaken by the High School pupils. Contributions of books, magazines, pictures knick-knacks, dishes, food, toys, kitchenware etc. have been most generously given by the people of Anyox. These it is hoped none will be too proud to purchase for it is not as some have factitiously dared to remark, a rubbish sale, but simply a case of. giving something for which you either have a duplicate in your own home, or no immediate use, and lb! you purchase in exchange your hearts desire! Fortunes will be told by one skilled in the revelation of secrets; tea will be served, and "bandy, and ice cream sold. A fish-pond too. f ALICE ARM NOTES See Al.

Canada's Debt is Still Increasing Increase of $27,000,000 for Month of November Ottawa, Dec. 6.—An increase of $27,816,530 in the net debt of Canada during the month of November is shown by the statement issued by the department of finance. November 30th. Canada's debt stood at |2,414,641,424, while at the end of the previous inonth it was 12,386,824,893. On November 30th. 1922, the net debt amounted to $2,391,635,818, being an increase of $21,876,1$2 oyer the total on October 31st of the same year. The heavy increase in the net debt for November, as compared with October, it is explained, is due to interest payments on the 1918 and 1919 Victory loans which fell due on November 1. Interest payments in November were $41,- 893,587 in comparison with only $2,629,860 in October. i The apparent discrepancy between an increase in net debt of $27,000,000 for the month of November and one of $21,000,000 foR the eight months ended November 30, is accounted for by the fact thae some of the months, as. did October, have shown decreases in net debts. >, Large Increase in Canadian National Railway Earnings Canadian National Earnings--A gain of over one million dollars in the gross earnings during October is shown by"a recent statement, of the* Canadian National Bail ways. The substantial increase shown in the report of operating results for the month is $1,407,686, or 5-6 per cent., as compared with Ootober, 1922. After deducting operating expenses, which amounted to $21,- 223,525, a net operating revenue is shown for the month amounting to $5,163,470. as compared with net; operating revenue is shown for the month, amounting to $3,295,693 for the corresponding month of 1922. The net earnings for the first ten months of 1923 amount to $12,021, 285, as compared with a' net of $3,- 825,007 for the first ten months of last year, an increase of $8,198,278, or 214.4 per cent. The operating expenses, increase and percentage for Octdber, were both decreases. factor in the placing of this recog nization on the part of the Japanese Government of the ready offer of assistance whioh Mr. Pattullo made to the people of Japan as soon as he heard' of the catastrophe which befell the most populous parts of the Island Kingdom.

E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. The great ambition' of the different provincial governments, the federal government and municipalities throughout Canada, at the present time is to spend the largest amount of money in the shortest ssible itiihe. When this mad orgy will stop no one seems to know and very few seem to care, The gross debt of the,province today is $71,432,261, and the Dominion of Canada's debt stood at $2,414,- #41,424 on November 30th. These debts' are increasing, aiid With every prospect of still further increasing. The cities throughput the Dominion are all carrying enormous debts, and these debts, in numerous cases are also still increasing. The whole trouble seems to lie in the fact that those elected by the people to manage their affairs, lose all sense of reason when they obtain the pleasure of spending other people's money. These men are elected for a few years, and then are either kicked out bf office or retire and leave the worry of cleaning up the mess to their successors. Another party is elected, and they duplicate the actions of their predecessors, and so the game goes on merrily on. But a show-down will eventually arrive if the present system is continued, for the high taxation is gradually forcing the people from the country. The only way to reduce taxation per capita is to either curtail expenditure or increase the population. By increasing taxes the goose that lays the golden egg is being slowly killed, for the more intelligent portion of the people pack their grip and leave. The reduction of taxation throughout the Dominion by the/different governments and municipalities, would mean the establishment of new industries, these industries would employ large numbers of men, and the farmers would then have, a larger home market for their products.

Dunwell Mine Gives New Sensation Portland Canal News An important strike was made last week in the No. 2 tunnel of the Dunwell mine, when high grade gold ore was encountered at the intersection of two quartz seams in the east-west vein. The ore is similar to that from one of the surface cuts where values in gold to $90 per ton with over 100 ozs. silver were obtained. It was mainly on account of this high grade gold ore that the No. 1 tunnel was driven but although high grade ore was struck, the values were mostly in silver the gold values seldom exceeding $24 per ton. In-ihe No. 2 tunnel this high- grade silver ore has been drifted on for 150 feet, but no high values in gold were met with until the intersecting quartz seam was stuck, with values in gold up to $60 per ton and 170 ozs. silver. Oh the dip of the vein this ore is about 160 feet below the outorop from where the first high grade gold ore was found. After the ball was over, She took out her old glass eye, Put her false teeth in the basin, Washed off the paint and dye. Threw her wooden leg hi a oorner, Hung her false hair on the wall. The reBt of her went to bye bye, After the ball. Guest—"I'm feeling thirsty." Hostess—"I'll get you some water." Guest—"I said I was thirsty, not dirty." , Beware of Oscar Sourface, The well known politician, Although he buys it by the case He votes for prohibition. =^s Kitsault Jewelry Store AUCE ARM Watches Repaired A First Class Line of Jewelry Always Carried in Stock S.
