The acting was all that could be desired, and reflects great credit to those taking part, and also the instruo. tors and organizers. Tlie pageant consisted of four acts, and opened with the arrival of the ''Wise Men from the East." The scene showed the shepherds seated round the camp lire, with the bright star shining in the east. Tlie scenery was very elaborate, and beautiful costumes were worn by the artists. The disguise being so perfect that many could not' be recognized. Those taking leading parts were: Magi-E. Clay, T. Cloke, A. Teabo. Shepherds—T. Haslett, J. Barclay, J. Gillis, A. McAllister, W. Ckke, C. Dresser. Mary—Mrs. W. P. Robertson. ■Joseph—John Kennedy. Spirit of the Church—Christina McLeod.

Alice Arm Dances New Year In and Old Year_0ut I' A large number of Alice Arm /folk availed themselves of the open 1 ^invitation of Mr. and Mrs. 0. ''Evindson of the Alice Arm Hotel on Thursday evening, and danced '.the old year out and the new year The dance oommenced at 9 p.m. land at midnight, when the old Jtyear was dying a "Paul Jones" lance commenced, and when J^'oung 1926 was being wafted in, everyone shook hands with everyone else, and wished eacli other a pappy New Year. \ Following supper, H. Fowler ijfppke a few words of appreciation On behalf of the people of the town ior the invitation extended to #iem, and said how pleased they j»ll were to have Mr. and Mrs. |iiVind8on back with them again. Mr. Evindson in replying, said he [jjas really pleased to be again in .lice Arm. He had great faith in tjie camp when he built the hotel, i|nd he still had the same faith. 1 The Alice Arm orchestra, com- jjsed of Mrs. J. Laidlaw, saxo- jjjione; W. Stevens, piano; J. Hut- jison, clarinet: and E. Aubusson tfums and traps, were up to their Dual high standard, and added ;/eatly to the evening's enjoyment. Smelter Ore Shipment From Wolf Give High Values Tlie ore shipment of 16 tons made a few weeks ago by J. Fiva and associates from the Wolf property, have given gratifying results. The ore was shipped to Trail smelter and composed four tons'of high grade and twelve tons of second grade ore. j Returns of values were received on Monday and are as follows: High grade, 306 ozs. silver .and $5.50 gold per ton, Second gracie, 71 ozs. silver and $6.00 gold per ton. The lead value of the shipment was $11.00. These values are dry weight. The whole shipment Averaged $100.00 per ton. Owing to heavy freight charges, it has been decided to ship no more second grade ore to Trail. The above values are very encouraging, especially when it is taken into consideration that this ore was taken from the surface, and was badly oxidised. Work on the tunnel being driven to encounter this ore at depth is progressing, and the values of ore are expected to considerably increase when this objective is attained^ Well Known Anyox Man Ends Life By Hanging Mr. A. Bowles, who was well known in Anyox, took his own life at about 11.30 p.m. on Monday, December 28th„ The deceased had hung himself in the Trainmen's shack. He was discovered by Mr. B. Sailer, who came off shift at 11.45 p.m. and who at once notified the Doctor and the provincial authorities. The deceased is survived by his stepmother, who lives in Vancouver, and a brother who resides at Port Moody, B. C. Mr. Bowles was well liked by all his fellow workmen, and the news of his death is indeed a sad blow to his friends. He was born in London, England, and served overseas during The Great War with the Canadian Engineers. Yesterday's Rain Worth Real Money To a lot of people the recent rains are valueless, but the Granby Co. look at it from a different angle. A nice honest-to-goodness juicy downpour occasionally relieves the management of considerable worry. It also enriches the company's exchequer for as long as water is available in the big dam for hydro-eleotrio power, it means a saving of $1000.00 per day, for that is what it costs to operate their steam plant. Now $1000.00 per day is a lot of money even for the Granby Co., so why shouldn't they wear a smile, when the sprinkling machine gets in motion in January. Christmas Services at Christ Church Well Attended The Festival of Christmas was ushered in with a midnight celebration of Holy Communion, commencing at 11.30 p.m., The Church was prettily decorated, with flowers and berried holly predominating. A large congregation was present and the music was very inspiring. There was morning Service and Holy Oommvnion at 11 a.m. on Christmas Day. Collections were for the General Beneficiary Fund. Explanations Are Sometimes Necessary We regret to announce that a portion of our Anyox news copy failed to reach us this week. This was owing to the fact that the Awake left Anyox on Thursday evening instead of Friday morning. ' We, however, obtained some over the telephone, and are thus able to publish an abbreviated report of the United Church Christmas Pageant. The other news destined for this issue will be published next week.; Due to different causes in connection with the holiday season, our Anyox news has not been reaching us regularly. We wish to say, however, that the causes were entirely beyond our control, or the control of our Anyox representative, Mr. Geo. E. Warwick. Publishing a newspaper, is at the best of times a nerve racking undertaking. When a paper such as the Herald is published for two towns, and the copy Fails to arrive at tlie last minute, the editor is placed in an embarrassing position. We wish to assure our readers that both ourselves and Mr. Warwick spare no effort each week to give you the happenings of the district in full. It sometimes happens that our well laid plans, through some un- forseen reason miscarry, and the inuoli-looked-for news item fails to appear. When such a thing occurs, you can be confident that it is not our fault, and the news omitted will appear in the following issue.

Receives Boost From New York Publication Granby Consolidated Mining Smelting & Power Company Ltd., the most important producer in Canada, has the largest productive capacity per share of any copper company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, is the statement of the magazine of Wall street in last mouth's issue. Ore reserves are sufficient for at least ten years and the probable life of the properties is much longer. Prior to the middle of 1919 when distributions were discontinued, the company was a large and dependable dividend payer; iu 1916; the stock sold up to 120, and in the seven years prior to 1920 it never sold below 48. Yet, since May 1919, no dividends have been paid, and since 1920 the stock has not sold above 33. The past six years has been a difficult period for almost all copper companies, but especially difficult for Granby. Prior to .1914, the Phoenix Mine was its big producer. Anticipating the exhaustion of the high grade ore reserves in this property in 1914 the management opened up the properties of Anyox, now the more important of its two producing divisions. The Anyox venture necessitated property expenditures of large proportions, expenditures which exhausted the net surplus of working capital and led to the creation of a funded debt. It took longer to develop Anyox than was expected, and the work involved new oapital investments beyond original estimates. This explains why Granby stock so long has been regarded as a long pull speculation. Anyox Man Pleads Guilty to Theft John G. Edwards, having elected for speedy trial and pleading guilty to a charge of theft of various sums of money at Anyov. appeared in the provincial police court, Prince Rupert, before Judge Young, ou Tuesday afternoon. He was remanded for sentence Prisoner was taken south on Monday by Provincial Constable W. Smith. Rev. J. S. Brayfield To Hold Service in Alice Arm The Rev. J. S.

BIRTH AT ANYOX Born to Mr. and Mrs. E. Craggs, at the Anyox Hospital, on Sunday, December 20th. a daughtor. Kitsault River Mining & Development Co. Hold General The first annual general meeting of the Kitsault River Mining & Development Co., was held at the company's registered office in Alice Arm, on the 12th. day of December, 1925. Quite a large number of shareholders were present. Most of these were residents of Alice Arm, showing the faith the people of the camp have in the company. The officers elected for the ensuing year, were: A. F. Smith, president; J. Fiva, vice-president; O. Flint, T W. Falconer and J. Strombeek were elected to tbe board of directors. A. D. Yorke was re-elected as secretary. The Managing Director, iu making his report to the shareholders, referred to tho lateness of the season in getting development work under .way this year. This, he explained, was due to there being no supplies or materials on the ground with which to begin work. This made it necessary to wait upon the going oF the snow before supplies could be freighted in. Ho pointed out that'•sufficient" supplies had been placed on the property so that an early start could be made next spring. In outlining the past season's development work, the Managing Director stated that the bulk of the season's development work was confined to the Matilda ore body. This ore body having been proven by open cuts and tunnel work for a distance of 700 feet. Late iu the season, the tunnel on the Silver Tip. Claim was further extended, and the ore body cut by a crosscut tunnel. This was a very promising vein, showing five feet of a good grade of silver ore. As to next season's operations, it was planned to proceed on a larger scale. A new tunnel would be driven on the Silver Tip ore ledge for a distance of 200 feet. The Matilda ore body would also be further developed, probably by diamond drilling, tentative arrangements having already been made to that effect. The financial position of the company was shown to be in good shape, and the coming year was looked forward to with much satisfaction.

K. MOSS, hlditiirand Publisher. The Christmas festive season has now finally, closed. The last parties have been given, and we have. entered upon another year, ready to take everything as it comes. Both adults and children of Anyox enjoy celebrating Christmas, and it is safe to say that everyone had a merry time Anyox is one of the few towns in existence where poverty is unknown. Everyone is working and all have money, and relief funds for local charities, such as a Santa Claus fund to provide a Christmas dinner is something the people of Anyox do not find it necessary to organize. The children of Anyox are indeed fortunate that this happy state of affairs exist, for it is the children, unable to help themselves, who are the worst sufferers when hunger stalks abroad. It is safe to say that in no town in this wide Dominion are the children given such a good time as in Anyox. Parties and Christmas Trees, given by different organizations follow one another in rapid succession, The children of today will be the citizens of tomorrow, and when the juvenile population grow up and spread throughout the continent, they will be able to look back on their childhood days, and say: well, Anyox wasn't such a bad place, after all. They certainly knew how to give us a good time. Hockey Pictorial Book of Champions The editor has received a copy of the Hockey Pictorial, 1920 edition, which is now on sale at all newstands, and which is at once the handsomest and most complete publication ever produced in the world for any single spurt. It is a marvel in artistry and industry of achievement, It is impossible to speak too highly of it. The book represents years of effort; typographically and pictorially, it is a "masterpiece." Prom cover to cover it is embellished with group pictures of championship teams from I.S8.H to 1025, in fact, the history of Canada's Great National Winter Sport is told in pictures. Old-timers will lie interested in the. handsome halftones of the teams who were prominent a generation ago, while, the younger enthusiasts will enjoy the reproduction of the more recent winners. The book is not only lavishly illustrated, but is literally crammed with much interesting information regarding individuals, clubs and leagues throughout the country. Local hockey fans will also Hud very interesting group pictures of the United States Amateur Hockey Asso. ciatinn Champions, who are practical- ly made up of former well known Canadian players. The book, which is published by George King, 81 Victoria St. Toronto, a well known Toronto sportsman, is a credit to the game and its publisher, j Public Land Grant for P. G. E. Outstanding Event of Session The Legislature prorogued at 10 o'clock ou Saturday night, the 19th. instant, having being in session exactly seven weeks. Sixty- nine bills were assented to by the Lieutenant Governor of which, however, there were not many of outstanding importance. The most striking feature of the legislature of the 1925 session undoubtedly was that providing for the granting of public lands in aid of the construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. This is explained by the government as being designed to assist in uegotia ting for the sale of the line and its continuance into Prince George and the Peace River. If no sale is made before the next session it is taken as granted that the government will consider the completion of the road to Prince George and also from Sqiiamish to Vancouver. The Act provides that the line cannot be leased, sold or otherwise disposed of, nor can any disposition be made of the lands granted in aid without first obtaining the sanction of the Legislature. The lands to be granted are to be selected within the Clinton and Quesnel land recording districts, in areas designated in the Act and described as the East Cariboo Block and the West Cariboo Block, and West Lillooet Block: An effort is to be made to have the Dominion Government return to the Province tho Peace River Block, in which case those lands would be made available for railway grant, but if they cannot he got back then the Act provides for lands to be selected out of a block of tbe lands of the province adjoining the Peace River Block on the south and west. The dispute between the farmers of the Somas area and the Land Settlement Board regarding the costs of the reclamation work and the repayment of this has been settled in a measure passed by the House just before the adjournment, by which the annual load on the owners is lessened by a long extension of the time of payment.

Jk-jbiiriflg operations are closing down, road work has ceased and other lines of industrial work are slowing up with the result that prospects for new employment are uot bright. The influx puts Vancouver civic- authorities up against a serious proposition. ''We cannot take care of all of them," Aid. Garbutt, chairman of the relief committee, stated. "Work is provided for our 'own citizens as far as possible. But outsiders largely will have to look after themselves. I feel that the provincial government should do something to alleviate the situation. i Dunwell Mine Almost Ready to Ship Ore By the beginning of the new lyear the Dunwell mine will be- Icome a regular shipper to the extent of ten tons daily.

About 100 tons of ore is already acked and stored in the workings If No. 3 level, pending completion If the train. While this ore is not If the highest grade, still it is an lasy and therefore cheaper type Rr sorting than some of the rich- lit ore, and will leave a very nice margin of profit. 1 The present plan is to 'ship ten Asbestos Find in South Canadian Trade Improving Canadian exports for the twelve months ending November 30 totalled $1,220,000,000 and imports $874,000,000, showing a favorable trade balance of ^346,000,000. tons daily throughout the winter, and in the meantime proceed with mine development so as to provide an assured tonnage lor the proposed mill to be built next summer. CANADIAN NATIONAL PROMOTES RESOURCES SINCE its organization, the colonization and development department of the Canadian National Railways has given attention to the development of the natural resources of the territory traversed by Canadian National lines; and, in order to give greater effect to the' activities of this branch of the department, it has been decided to place a representative in charge in the western region, whose chief duty will be to gather information and promote further the development of these resources, more especially in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. In this way, the facts obtained can be brought to the attention of those interested, with capital. Tlie office for this district will be at Edmonton, in charge of R. C. W. Lett, now General Agent, Colonization and Development Department, Canadian National Railways, who is well fitted for the work, having had considerable experience in connection with mining and lumbering, and during the past few years has made a very close study of the natural resources of British Columbia and Alberta.

Little snow is on the hills around Anyox and Alice Arm, and practically none at tide water level. On Christmas Day it was raining high up on tlie hills at an elevation of 3000 feet, and the New Year was ushered in with a deluge of rain, which extended throughout yesterday.

One Year Ago Today One year ago today the first hockey league game of the season was played on the Alice Arm skating rink. The roof shook with the roars of the spectators.

But today the Skating Rink is a place of wet loneliness, and all is dark and dreary, where a,year ago the lights Were bright and gaiety reigned supreme. Christinas and the New Year were, wet both inside and out for a good many. With pure water saturating the outside and the colored water which is labelled beer doing likewise inside, it is a wonder that so many survived these internal and external baths.
