For Results Advertise in The Herald May Yow Christmas MtnrongBeQforious and Your Smile of Christmas Cheer Spread on Throughout the Year Teddy Kostoff Has Leg Fractured In Accident At Stewart With his right leg badly fraotur- ed at the ankle, aud suffering from the effects of a trying experience, Teddy Kostoff arrived in Anyox from Stewart on the steamship Mogul at 1 o'clock on Tuesday morning the 15th. Teddy was at Stewart with the scow Pioneer to load Premier ore for Anyox. At 7.30 a.m. ou Fri day tlie 11th. hs had gone aboard to attend to the scow lines and maki:( preparations for loading While doing this work his foot caught in the cables and he stum bled heavily and fell, cutting his eye on some rock and fracturing his right leg. Recovering partially from the shook and pain he made a determined effort to reach cover in the deck house. Crawling painfully on his hands and knees over rough surfaces, he finally reached his haven and laid there in a state of exhaustion, calling for help at intervals. In the meantime a crew of men had commenced the work of loading the soow, totally unaware that an injured man was in the deck house in need of aasistance. He was discovered the same evening by his friend Blacky Olsen who generally spends the evening with Teddy on his visits to Stewart. Olsen quickly had Dr. Whillans of Stewart in attendance, but it was uot until Saturday afternoon that it was found possible to con vey Kostoff to the Stewart Hospi tal, where he received every kindness and care. However, as that place was just about to be closed down, it was decided to bring him to Anyox, so at 8 a.m. on Monday, accompanied by his friend Olsen, he was on his way home. In his cozy corner at the hospital Teddy talks of his experiences without once losing his smile, and is quite resigned to a few week's sojourn in the familiar institution. , Outlook For Silver Is Getting Brighter The present outlook for silver is brighter than any other metal. It is possible, that due to pressure being brought to bear in high financial circles, that silver will shortly be used on a bimettalic basis. If such an event occurs, the price of silver will rise and become stabilized, and Alice Arm, due to the silver ore deposits, should be one of the first towns in British Columbia to receive the benefit of higher prices. Latest press reports state that fifteen cornitries'hatfe abolished the gold standard. That influential British financiers are advocating bimettalism for the British Empire and that even Senators of the United States are demanding that that country accept war debts in silver instead of gold. It is apparent that the financial structure of the world under a gold standard is crumbling, aud the only salvation of a majority of the countries of the world is to take in silver to share the burden with gold. From present appearances this will be done. If it is. those districts having silver deposits should reap the benefit of re-construction before others do so. Elks Leading In Billiard Leagues In the Senior Billiard League the Elks are still in the lead. The formidable Orphans, however, are right behind, with only two or three points difference. In the latest match between the latter and the Boiler Shop the riveters were left cold and helpless, being beaten by the Orphans by 323 to 600. In the Junior League the Elks lead the others easily. The Boiler Shop are putting up a game fight with the Orphans in the cellar. However, these three teams are so close, and withal so confident, that the situation is very interesting. Alice Arm Christmas Tree Will Be Held On Tuesday The Alice Arm Children's Christmas Tree and entertainment will be held at T. W. Falconer's hall, on Tuesday evening, December 22, commencing at 7.30 sharp. Every one is requested to be on hand at that hour. Following the concert. Santa Claus will pay the children a visit and after his departure refresh ment8 will be served. The even ing's enjoyment will conclude with ,a dance, the music for. whioh. will be supplied by the Alice Arm orchestra. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. The children have been well trained in their various parts by Mr. A. C. Ironside, and Tuesday evening's entertainment promises to even exceed those held on former occasions. B. P. 0. Elks Hold An "At Home" Following the regular meeting of the Lodge on Monday, the Hth. the Elks entertained their wives and friends to an "At Home" in the Lodge Room. There was a fair attendance, and the affair proved very enjoyable. The evening opened with a whist drive, at which Miss Agnes Wardrope secured the ladies' first prize and Mrs. J. Varnes captured the consolation. For the men, Mr. Sid Armstrong secured the highest number of points, while Mr. Ed. Johnson, away in the cellar, had no difficulty in securing the consolation prize. A delightful supper was next served in the Dugout, the "Brother Bills" easily sustaining their reputation as real good hosts. The remainder of th? evening was devoted to dancing. Interesting Games Of Basketball Being Played In the Men's Senior A and the Ladies' Senior divisions an unusual and interesting situation has developed in regard to the standing at the end of the first half of the season. In the Men's Senior A division the Celts aiid the Vandals were tied and in the Ladies' Senior the Spooks and the High School were also tied. In order to break these ties the Basketball Commission decided that the Men's Senior A teams play three games, best two games to decide, and that the ladies play two games, total points to decide. So far the Celts and the Vandals have played one game, the Celts winning by 20 to 11. The ladies' teams have also played one game, the Spooks winning by one point. In the game between the Celts and the Vandals the latter were certainly not up to their usual fast form, while conversely, the Celts were in top-notch shape for scoring. Scorers for the Celts were McDon- ald-3, Dwyer-3, Steele-2, Davies. 1. For the Vandals Lindgren made 2 baskets, Frank Anderson 1, Calderoni 1, Lazorek 1. The clash between the Spooks and the Scholars was worth going a long way to see. Every point was stubbornly contested, and the ladies played with dash and persistency throughout. In the next and deciding tussle between the ladies' teams, played on Wednesday the 16th., the Spooks became very material and animate bodies and romped home with a win of 12 to 4. The students were evidently so intent on checking their aggressive opponents that they could not make opportunities to score. The "Ghosts" are to be congratulated on securing such an aggregation of earnest players, while the High School deserve praise for their persistency and good sportsmanship.

IS. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. Christmas, the great christian festival of the year is almost here again, and what a wealth of memory is summed up in the word Christmas. To many of us and certainly to all children there is no happier or more comforting word in our language. The word Christmas radiates happiness, good cheer, merrymaking and laughter. It is a time honored day yet the joys are ever new. The message of old rings out as clear as ever— "Peace on earth goodwill towards men." On Christmas Day we celebrate the birth of our religion. A religion founded on brotherly love one to another. On that day we will wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Old wrongs will, or should be forgotten. Not only on Christmas D,ay should we be pleasant to everyone we meet, but as good christians we should carry the message of goodwill throughout the coming year. The Christmas season of goodwill and peace has lost none of its popularity in the passage through the ages, and the people of Anyox and Alice Arm are as enthusiastic as were our ancestors of a few hundred years ago, before railways, telephones, radios, or automobiles were ever dreamt of. Christmas is humanity's great new birth festival, typified in the picture of the Holy Child. It makes its appeal to that root of kindness and holiness which dwells down within each one of us. It awakens dormant feelings and aspirations which the clamor of wordly life stifles and deadens. It opens deep springs of brotherhood and love, whence flow desires to bless with gifts and good wishes. It leaves us sweetened' and heartened for another year's buffeting and anxieties, with hearts touched and softened as by an infant's first caress. That in every sense of the word the Christmas of 1931 may bring comfort and blessing to our readers, is our earnest hope, and we wish you all A MERRY CHRISTMAS Homesteaders Still Rushing To Peace River Despite industrial depression the present year has maintained a good average in the pre-emption of land in B. C. Even in the winter mouth of November, 282 records were issued, bringing the total for the year to 2372, representing approximately 380 000 acres. The bulk of the homesteading has been in the Peace River section. In spite of the fear that many of these homesteaders would be appealing for relief for the present winter, the reports indicate that so far there has been little or no trouble indicating settlement of the self- reliant kind. Eighty-two Cars Jap Oranges For Prairies Canada's Christmas importations of Japanese oranges closed last week when the third and final shipment of this delicious golden fruit left Vancouver for the prairies by special Canadian National Railways train. Aggregate shipments of Japanese oranges during the past two weeks over the C. N. Railways totalled 82 cars. Advertise in the Herald Population Increase Shows Big Percentage Gain The result of the recent census giving British Columbia a population of 689,900 was a surprise, since it was far above the computations of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, which only a year ago credited the province with a population of 597,000. It is encouraging to note the difference between the percentage increase of British Columbia in the past ten years and that of the three states that touch its borders. In the decennial period, British Columbia made a percentage gain of 31.38; Washingion 15.2; Idaho 3.0; and Montana a decrease of 2.1. Oregon, a near neighbor, registered a 20.0 per cent increase. rr- Gold pot-hunters are sniping for gold in Pend d'Oreille river now that the water is very low.

Canadian Pacific is Leader in Team Work • And Good Will With Organized Labor Bodies Nearly 46 years ago, the Canadian Pacific set the pace for all the other railroads on the American continent, by completing the first known wage agreement for railway employees, in the establishing of a schedule of regulations and rates for engine- men between Montreal and Chalk River, Ont., dated February 1, 1886. The story is ably told in the "Railway Carmen's Journal", by J. A. P. Haydon, "Labor's" Canadian representative, a brief resume of whose article follows here:— Looking back on the half- century of the company's history, the event seems almost prophetic in its importance, for as Mr. Haydon points out, it is doubtful if any organization has been maintained and is continuing to maintain such good relations with its workers. Today, 17 different labor bodies are recognized by the company; collective discussion has replaced individual dealings; conciliation replaces strikes and lockouts and, in a word, team work iB the order of theday. Neither the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers nor the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen has ever been involved in a strike or lockout with the C.P.R. Hugh Richmond, general chairman of the general grievance committee of the latter organization, says: "The best of relations have always existed and still continue between our organizations and the com pany". Thus, tsday, the fruit of the pact of 1886 is still being harvested. Similar experiences can be culled from many other branches of organized railwaj work. For example, Hon. G. D. Robertson, Minister of Laboi and for many years vice-president of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, says: "During the first ten years of this railway's operation it experienced most serious and difficult problems of a financial nature, and in my opinion, was quite unable to deal more liberally with its employees than it did. Beginning about 1890, however, the employees felt that the railway, then being well established and making splendid progress with substantial assistance from government sources, should give consideration to its employees' welfare as well astoitBown. The employees, recognizing that railways are not charitable institutions, organized, and through their elected representatives negotiated with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to establish contractual relations covering working conditions and rates of pay. Thus the Canadian Pacific was the first railway in Canada to extend general recognition of the principle of collective bargaining and union recognition to its employees. "For about 80 years, or from 1890 to 1918 the Canadian Pacific Railway has been foremost of all railways in Canada in extending courteous, reasonable treatment to its employees, while during the past ten years it has closely co-operated with other lines, thereby standardizing and stabilizing the whole railway wage situation". The picture shows W. L. StevenB, engineer with 44 years of service; his Bon G. W. Stevens, who has been 19 years with the C.P.R., and the hitter's son, Clifford H. Stevens, aged 12, who bids fair to be the representative of the third generation on the footplate." What more eloquent testimony of good relations between the company and its employees could be found? B. P. O.
