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: Arthur Teabo, Tom Gray, Billie Cooper, and Stanley Sawrey. Boxing bouts were staged by— Charlie Bright vs. Murdo Morrison. Stephen Dillon vs. Jimmie Foxley. Glen Owen vs. Willie Watson. Wrestling: Arthur Teabo and Tommy Cloke. Billie Cooper and Willie Cloke gave\ demonstrations of sleight-of- hand tricks. The following are tlie prize winners in the First Aid Tests: Charlie Bright—scout axe and sheath. Stanley Sawrey—Compass. Tommy Cloke—Folding Camp Stool. Arthur Dwyer—Haversack. Sidney Armstrong—water bottle Bill Cooper—Folding Fry Pan Tom Gray—Fishing Rod Earle Gray—Fishing ' Rod Mr. H R Harris, assistant. Scout-Master was iii charge of the Scouts. The best thanks of the boys are accorded to Messrs. Ashton Graham, |and Hayes, who were responsible for the provision of the Granby Co. Hauling Logs to Tidewater Other Camps Busy The logging industry of Alice Arm received a boost during the week. On Tuesday afternoon the Granby Co. brought down their first load of logs over the Dolly Varden railway, and since then logs have been coming clown iu a continual stream. About 50,000 feet b.m. per day is now being hauled, but this quantity will be considerably increased as soon as more cars are available. Construction work across the Kitsault river at the No. 1 camp is being carried forward, and it will not be long before this oamp is also throwing logs into the water. Mr. Eric Carlson, of the Abbotsford Logging Co. now has 4,000- 000 feet boomed and a tug from Ocean Falls is expected to arrive next Thursday and take them out. Mr. E. J. Tremblay, has finished logging until next winter, when snow will again permit the hauling of logs by horses. He now has one ria'Ufm feet on the Hats, half of which are already boomed. Some of the logs will bo towed to Ocean Falls this month and the balance in June. Mr. Tremblay will log about 700,000 feet next winter.

Bluebirds Win Ladies' Championship by One Point High-Rigger Tops Tree • Those who are not familiar with the work of a high-rigger in the woods, had a treat ou Tuesday morning, when Mr. Ole . Aker topped a big tree on the hill-side directly above the town of Alice Arm." The tree stood in the vicinity of the residence of Mr. Steve Dumas, aiid was a menauce to the building. Ole climbed the tree, limbing as he went, and after a short time the top came crashing to the ground, and then to show his contempt for high altitudes calmly seated himself on the top and surveyed the town below.

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.

JACK MILLER 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. Better to plant a yard in a garden than a foot on a railing.

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. —Exchange. Aspiring Young. Man (to Senator).—"How did yon become such a wonderful orator?

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 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.

THE MINISTER OF MINES, VICTORIA, British Columbia 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- Exchange. 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.

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.

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. 30 Anyox Barber Shops MINE AND BEACH PI IE 3E 30 Mine Cafe ANYOX MEALS at ALL HOURS Fresh Bread, Cakes, Pies and Pastry FISH & CHIP SUPPERS J.
