Christ Church  Scouts
Spend an Entertaining
Evening
There was a good turnout of the
Boy Soouts Patrol and Wolf Cub
Paok connected with Christ
Church,.Anyox, on Friday evening
of last week.
Tlie entire programme was in
the hands of the boys and needless
to say they oarried it out in a
"Soouty" manner. It included
sleight-of-hand tricks, Headings,
and several snappy bouts with the
gloves, even the Cubs stepping up
smartly to the call of ''Time."
Refreshments were by no means
an unimportant feature of the
evening's entertainment, and the
Scout orderlies and Cooks had a
busy time shooting Hot-Dogs and
dispensing cocoa and ice cream.
The principal event of the
evening was the distribution of
prizes in connection with the
First Aid Class so ably conducted
during the winter months by Mr.
Edgar Ashton, of the Smelter
First Aid Staff.
Fifteen Lectures and demonstrations were given and the
ground covered was more extensive
than that which the Scout Regulations oall for.
The examination was conducted
by Mr. Fred Graham and so great
was the efficiency displayed, a real
difficulty was found in determining the merits of the various
contestants.
Tbe following is a list of the
committees responsible for the
night's fun and also a list of those
taking part.
Refreshment Committee:
Charlie Bright and Murdo Morrison. Programme Committee:

hand tricks.

Dumas, aiid was a menauce to the

short time the top came crashing

his contempt for high altitudes
calmly seated himself on the top

Promise of a Good
Sporting Season
Prospects of a good sporting
season at Alice Arm seems to be
real good. On Monday evening a
meeting of those interested in baseball was held, and plans made for
a season of activity. Baseball is
the greatest outdoor summer sport
in Canada and should be extensively encouraged.
On Wednesday evening a
political meeting was held, and the
sports programme given another
boost. Unlike baseball, the
political game can be played at
any season of the year, either indoors or out. There was a time
when only the highbreds were
allowed to play the game, but of
late years it has included all males,
and recently the women have been
allowed to take part.- The political game is the most exhilirating
in the world. It is played by
every race under the sun. There
is no limit, to the number of teams
entering a game.
Radio, a Household
Necessity
The time has passed when
Radio is looked upon as a plaything. It has passed through the
preliminary and experimental
stages.' It has come to point
where the public expects service
and amusement of high class. If
nearby stations do not furnish the
kind of program desired it is only a
matter of a few moments to turn
them out and tune in the distant
ones. Some stations broadcast
every half hour during the day and
night, giving the important news
and market reports, in a few
minutes. Radio is fast assuming
a household necessity, and is found
in millions of homes today for
service as well as amusement.
the most important item to the
newspaper publisher." Newspapers are growing better and
fewer. Consolidation has been
effective. Time has come to stop,
look and listen. Publishers are
responsible to their readers for
every picture and sentence that
appears in their paper. A
reader's confidence is worth more
than numbers. The dissemination
of news is today of vital importance
What this country needs most
is home chairs that don't become
uncomfortable ten minutes aftei
the family finishes the evening
meal.
Scientists claim that one fly
swatted now is equivelent to over
2,000,000, killed in the summer.
Kill the lonely fly.
Men go to the  movies to look.
Women to listen.
A grouch seldom locates in a
healthy body.
Directors of the Woolworth 5-
and-ten-cent stores now value the
company's ''good will" at 20
million dollars. "Good will" is an
invisible asset. It is, to a business,
what reputation is to the individual.
A business may lose its last dollar,
everything tangible that it owns.
But, as long as it retains its reputation for fair dealing and merit,
there is still a lot to salvage. So
with people, Reputation is the best
form of wealth.
Building Up the Small
Town
Citizens   Should   Support   the
Place They Call Home.
It is high time that all of us
paid more attention to the building up of the little town and less
to making the overgrown city
larger.  The little town is home
or should be. It needs our
support, and we are the people
who must give it life and power
if it is to have either. The big
city care nothing for us. It will
if it can pull our dollars away
and lure our boys and girls into
its whirlpool, but that is the
only use it has for us. The little
town needs us and we need it.
Hall's Corners may not make as
large a dent on the map as New
York, but it really means more
to us, and we ought to help
make it something to be proud
of. Why not get over the idea
that the bright future of Canada
lies in the great cities? It does
not. The future which lies in
the cities is shopworn, smoked,
dirty and unclean. The true
future lies in the country and in
the little towns. Back them up
and make them grow.
HUSKY NEW FARMERS ON CANADIAN NATIONAL
TWENTY-EIGHT of Canada's
new farmer citizens-in-the-
making as they arrived in Winnipeg a few days ago in charge of
the Salvation Army. This party
originally consisted of 58 boys and
12 girls, but those shown in the picture are the only ones who came on
to Western Canada to work on the
land, the others remaining in Ontario.   These boys are the advance
guard of a large group of 'teen age
lads who are coming to Canada this
spring under the auspices of the Salvation Army to work on farms in the
west, and never has a more promising looking group of settlers passed
through Winnipeg than the young
men shown above. They travelled
across Canada by Canadian National
Railways' special train for immigrants and the picture shows them
on their arrival at the Union Station,
Winnipeg, and the long train filled
with new settlers. Arrangements
have been made by the Salvation
Army authorities for special equipment to be provided by the Canadian
National to bring west the next
large party, which is scheduled to
sail from the Old Country the end of
March.

Mothers' Pensions Act
is Responsible for Large
Distribution
The annual report of the
Mothers' Pensions Act operation
last year has also been issued by
the Workmen's Compensation
Board. It shows that in 1923,
$432,177.50 was distributed for
the benefit of 959 mothers and
2455 children. In the three and a
half year period since the act oame
into force, more than $1,660,000
has been expended under its
provisions.
. The benefits distributed wider
these two acts amounted last year
to $258,783.12 a inonth. This
assistance is divided among
approximately 1500 widows, 4500
children and 1000 workmen with
their families, so that at any given
time approximately 9000 people
are constantly receiving at least a
part of their maintenance through
the provisions of one or other of
these pieces of remedial legislation.
Bread from Yukon wheat
on Sale at Dawson
Bread made from wheat grown
within seven miles of Dawson is
for sale at all   restaurants here.
The latitude of Dawson is 64
and the grain is the furthest north
wheat in the Empire.
Its quality was rated by an
expert from Manitoba last summer
as No. 1 northern, equal .to the
best Manitoba product. The yield
is 30 bushels to the acre.
The wheat is the product of the
government experimental station
at Swede Creek, conducted by
James Fan*. He has a ready sale
at $10 a hundred pounds. Samples
of grains have been sent by the
frold commissioner, George Mac
Kenzie, to Ottawa, for exhibition.

Platinum is Most
Precious Metal
Worth $125 an ounce and far
more useful than gold, platinum
has qualities of worth and merit
never dreamed of for the yellow metal. The first large quantity was taken to England from
Jamaica in 1740 and studied by
English scientists.
It is widely but not abundantly distributed, and is found under the same conditions as gold,
the principal foreign deposits
being in Russia, Spain, the United States of Columbia, Australia and South Africa. In this
country at has been discovered
in Alaska, Nevada, California,
Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Wyoming and
Washington.
Russia produced 90 per cent
of all platinum thus far recovered, and Colombia 9 per cent
more, leaving only 1 per cent
from all other countries. Since
Russia adopted soviet government it has been necessary to
look elsewhere for this regal
metal, and Colombia is now
furnishing most of the world-
supply.
Today, most of the metal is
dredged from shallow Colombian rivers. There are probably
not more than 500,000 lbs. in
the world and the United States
has not more than a fifth of this.
Platinum does not melt until
the extreme high temperature
of 3,159 degrees Farenheit is
reached and is not appreciably
attacked by any single acid.
A wire so fine that it is invisible may be drawn from platinum. An ounce of it can be
drawn out into a wire that will
reach more than half way across
the United States. Precise telescopic instruments used to use
cross hairs of spiderwebs, one
5000th of an inch in diameter.
Today platinum wires only a
fourth as large as one-10,000th
of an inch in diameter are used.

MEN WITH LARGE POKES
STAY IN THE ARCTIC
A dozen men are living within the Arctic Circle on the Koy-
likuk River, with fortunes ranging from §525,000 to $50,000 in
gold each, according to Captain
Webb, an pldtime prospector,
who, after striking pay came out
this winter on his annual vacation. He said these men had
married native women and set-
fed down t enjoy their modest
i'ortunes far from the vanities
of civilization.
They use the parcel post to
procure what luxuries their
tastes demand and they seem to
have no desire to leave their
polar wilderness.
Only when some prospector
makes a final clean-up and turns
his dust in at some b nk can an
estimate be made of the amount
of gold being taken from the
Arctic creeks. Captain Webb
was accompanied by a man who
carried four suitcases, each containing a portion of his cleanup, estimated to total $40,000.

production to the end of 1.923 show
An Aggregate Value of $810,722,782
The substantial progress of the Mining Industry in this Province is strikingly exhibited in the following
figures, which show the value of production for successive five-year periods: For all years to 1895 inclusive
$94,547,241; for five years, 1896-1900, $57,607,967; forfiveyears, 1901-1905, $96,507,968; forfiveyears 1906'

Production During last ten years, $350,288,892
Lode-mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 20 per cent of the Province has been
even prospected; 300,000 square miles of unexplored mineral bearing land are open for prospecting.
The Mining Laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than those of any other Province
in the Dominion, or any Colony in the British Empire.
Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees.
Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by
Crown Grants.

est and Lowest
Points in the World
The maximum difference in
elevation of land in.the United
States is 14,777 feet, accoivmj
to the United States Geological
survey. Mount Whitney, ihe
highest point, is 14,501 f_,ct
above set level, and a poinl in
Death Valley is 27(5 feet below
sea level. These two poini:,
which are both in California,
are lees than 90 miles apart. The
difference is small, however, lu
compared with the figures for
Asia. Mount Everest rises 29,-
002 feet above sea level, whereas the shores of the Dead Sea
are 1,290 feet','below sea level,
a total difference in land heights
of 30,292 feet. Mount Everest
has never been climbed.
The greatest ocean depth yet
found.is 32,088 feet ut a point
about forty miles north of the
Island of Mindano, in the Phil-
lipine Islands. The ocean bottom at this point is therefore
more than 11% miles below the
summit of Mount Everest. The
difference in the land heights in
Europe is about 15,866 feet-

The strides made by the automotive industry during the last
decade have been remarkable.
The motor oar is no longer regarded
as a luxury. It has attained its
rightful place as a utility. The
first auto was sold in Canada in
1869. Today the total registration
runs close to 556,000. Official
statistics show that 996,329 autos
entered Canada during 1922 for
touring purposes, representing a
traffic value of $170,000,000.
Thus the auto took fourth place as
a revenue producer. ifO

Alice Arm Tennis Club
Hold Brilliant Dance
Large Crowd Enjoy Evening's
Entertainment
What was uonceeded to be the
best dance held in Alioe Arm for a
long time, was held on Tuesday
evening at the Alice Ann Hotel,
under the auspices of the Alice
Arm Tennis Club, and to this
organization, groat credit is due
for the evening's success. ■
Dancing commenced at 9 o'oloek
and was kept up with unusual
vigor until 1.30 a.m. The
"orchestra composed of Mrs. T. W.
Falconer, piano; Mrs. J. Laidlaw,
saxophone; Master Lome Falconer
violin; C. Hutchinson, clarinet;
and L. Johnson, accordian; were at
their best. Mrs. Laidlaw and
Lome Falconer are new members
of the orchestra and their presence
was  a   very    welcome   addition.
During the evening exhibition
dancing and vocal solos were given
as follows:
Butterfly dance by Misses
Kathleen and Irene Bruggy.
Chinese dance by Kathleen
Bruggy, accompanists in both
dances were: Miss Virginia Riel,
piano; and C. Hutchinson, clarinet.
Highland Fling, by Mrs. J.
Laidlaw and C. Drennen.
Exhibition of Scottish dancing
by Mis. Laidlaw. Both dances
were accompanied by Piper
Norman McLeod.
Vocal solo. "I love you truly."
Encore "Boy of Mine," Mr. H.
Btirmeister. Accompanist. Mrs.
T. W, Falconer.
The arrangements for the supper
were in the hands of Mr. R. W.Clayton, proprietor of* the Alice
Arm Hotel Dining Room, who
fully upheld his reputation as an
Al caterer.
A beautiful cake was donated
by Mrs. G. W. Bruggy. Tickets
were sold on the cake throughout
the evening, and the owner of the
winning ticket was Mr. L. Johnson
The Hall was prettily decorated
with red and white streamers and
toy . balloons, ii.terniingled with
greenery, and presented a charming appearance.
From every point of view the
dance was a great success, and the
committee iu charge bf arrangements, Mrs. H. F. Kergin, Mrs. R.
McGinnis, and Mr..C. Hutchinson
deserve great praise. That their
efforts were not in vain is evidenced
by the fact that after all expenses
were paid a surplus of $42.60 was
on hand. Fifteen dollars of which
was derived from the sale of
tickets on the cake.
The committee wish to take
this oppurtunity to thank all those
who helped in any way towards
the evening's success.
Buffaloes in Yukon
Are Prospering
Veterans from the Yukon territory who mushed into the Ketchikan district recently were optimistic about the importation of 24
buffaloes from Wainwright park,
Alberta, to a game preserve in
central Yukon. They predicted
that within a few years the raising
of these buffaloes would be as
profitable to the Yukon as the
reindeer industry has become to
northern Alaska.
HE
NATIONAL PARKS ARE GAME SANCTUARIES^
•■"l"' HE National Parks of Canada
I are a haven for wild life;
x where guns and hunting dogs
are forbidden and where the animals have come to look upon man
as their friend rather than as their
destroyer. As a result wild animals are increasing in the national
parks of Canada and the graceful
deer, the lordly bison and the always interesting bear live at peace
in their natural habitat without
molestation.
At Jasper National Park in Alberta, which is 4,400 square miles
in extent and the largest of Canada's
national parks, bears, deer, moose,
mountain sheep and goats abound,
and the visitor finds also great
numbers of smaller animals such as
beaver, squirrel and others which
are becoming quite tame since they
realize that they are protected.
At Wainwright, on the main line
of the Canadian National Railways,
east of Edmonton, there exists one
of the finest demonstrations of the
feasibility of game conservation,
for there, in the buffalo park are
some e 8,000 animals, the growth
from a herd of 716 which was purchased some sixteen years ago by
the Canadian Government' and al
lowed to multiply in peace. So
great has been the development of
the. herd that this fall 2,000 of the
surplus animals had to be slaughtered and in the spring another
2,000 young buffalo are to be
moved into the northern hinterland
and allowed to roam at will there
under conditions where they also
will be safe from ruthless hunters.
In addition to buffalo, the government has at Wainwright large
numbers of elk and yak, which are
fast becoming unknown animals
except to the adventurous hunter
who was prepared to go miles beyond the limits of civilization, and
these animals also are multiplying
in the conditions under which they
are being kept.
Visitors to Jasper Park at the
present time find cinnamon, brown
and black bears very numerous; if
they go far enough afield they may
reach the haunts of the grizzly,
still within the park limits. Deer
may be found browsing within a
stone's throw of Jasper Park
Lodge, the bungalow camp hotel
operated by the Canadian National
Railways and cariboo are reported
to be becoming more plentiful year
by year. The "bighorn" mountain sheep grazes peacefuly along
the lower slopes of the great
mountains which rise on every side,
while the more timorous mountain
goat may be seen on the higher
slopes, making his way over precarious footing and seeming to
challenge the camera enthusiast to
climb up and include his picture in
the collection.
By means of the sanctuaries
which have been given to various
animals, the younger Canadians
growing up today can now and in
the future see for themselves,
specimens of various big game animals which a few years ago were
threatened with destruction. And
since Canada was almost the last
native haunt of many of these, such
as the buffalo, the educational
value alone of the sanctuaries is
great. The experiments already
made have shown that such animals as the buffalo can readily b*
propagated in captivity and in their
case also, the revenue derived by
the government from the sale of
buffalo meats, hides and heads
from the animals which it has become necessary to kill, will, it is
estimated, go a long way towards
paying for the cost of the experiment and the upkeep of the National Parks.
