AGASSIZ RECORD qy INDEPENDENT A COMMUNITY PAPER NON-POLITICAL No. 42. Vol. 1. Agassiz, B.C., Wednesday, July 9, 1924 $1.50 per yea ON THE BEACH AT MANITOU / •f*..t^W-.'-Vf£y8-$!W*) *:'-":'" miim:mm LONG before the paleface came to the broad and rolling prairies, tho Red man knew and appreciated thc curative properties of Little Lake Manitou, which is located near Watrous, Saskatchewan, on the main line of thc Canadian National Railways. And thc first white settlers who came, in advance of the railways, to settle on their homesteads in and around Watrous, soon learned of this lake with its highly mineralized waters, so that Little Lake Manitou had its reputation made when the first settlers reached the country. Today thousands of residents of prairie cities find Little Lake Manitou an ideal watering place, and excursions aro run from time to time over the Canadian National Railways from Saskatoon and other cities to provide citizens with a means of reaching this delightful spot. The waters of Little Lake Manitou are so highly mineralized that the swimmer finds no difficulty in floating on their surface and at the same time their mineral qualities are health-giving in their action. With a good sandy beach for the kiddies to play on, and water chutes and other enjoyment features erected for their entertainment, Little Lake Manitou has become the ideal picnic spot for the dwellers in the central region of Saskatchewan.

A meeting of tho Women's Institute was held at Agassiz, Juno 2Hth, Mrs. Fooks presided, assisted by Mrs. Jenkins, Secretary. Mm. MacLachlan, Secretary, B.C.

All of special educational vp'up und interest to iliti i- oml. vs. Si'0 ptp'.I'i-i'd the methods necessary to get "the resolutions passed by' the locul institutes" through the central convention or provincial meetings, and afterwards to get them endorsed by the various local Institutes of Hie Province, preparatory to sending them to the Legislature to be embodied in Acts. Mrs. MacLachlan next explained provincial organization of Institutes and Dominion federation of the same, untl then touched on the various committees working under the Institutes, such as Child Welfare, Home Economics, Legislature, etc. She told just how they should function, and ended with an appeal to the Agassiz Institute not to cease its efforts re State Health, reminding the members that nothing was ever accomplished of any importance 'without incessant activity on the part of the promoters. They should not rest on their oars just because the State Health resolution had been passed by the Provincial Convention, though all the Institutes of B.C. were represented. Nor should they rest because said resolution was now in the hands of others for its further advancement. It is due to try and get similarresolu- tiona passed by. each Women's Society in Agassiz, and then to see that they were successful in getting them through their central meetings, A copy should besent to the secretary of the Medical Association of B.C., i.e., to Dr. Telford, chairman of the State Health Com- mmitteo of the Medical Association; also to the member of the legislature representing them. The members tendered Mrs. MacLachlan a vote of thanks in their usual way, nad showed their warm appreciation The winner of the Left-over Recipe from last meeting was Miss Edith Agassiz. The recipes selected are to be made Into a booklet and sold for 10c. During this meeting a resolution was put by Mrs. E.

GILLETTS PURE FLAK& fcYE 9 Increase In Tonnage At Vancouver Port Harbor Commissioners Report Shows Advance In All Departments Shipping in and oul ol lho port o( Vancouver during the calendar year HI2;| showed an Increase In all departments, according lo the annual report 61' the Vancouver Board ot Harbor Commissioners. Over $138,000,000 worth of Inns, lumber and general freight, Including wheal, was exported, an Increase of $110,000,000 value lu the out-going cat-noes.. Inward, the porl r Ived $22-1,000,000 worth ot Freight, an Increase of $13,000,000. In in::;! there wus n total of 19,008 vessels In and out of the port, with-a total net lonnage of 8,-127,282, This Is an lucrease of 2.939 ships and 792.2sl) Ions over the 1922 figures. The total number of ocenu-golng vessels last year was 815, which had n net lonnage of 2,SOI.sua. nn Incrcasi of 123 vessels over the previous year A secret so simple many overlook it Yet millions of women keep youthful loveliness this wav Smaller Legislatures The demand, voiced generally b.\ the people of Canada, for decreased expenditure in the administration of public affairs as a necessary and most effective means of bringing about a reduction In the burden of taxation now imposed on the country, has resulted in many suggestions beiug advanced which are hopelessly impracticable, because, In the final analysis. II would be found that the losses sustained Ihrough Inefficiency would moro than offsei any savings effected through such false economy. Other suggestions have been made which are deserving of close and careful sludy ns they are seemingly designed to effect real economies without In tho slightest degree prejudicial!} affecting any public policy or service. One such suggestion, which has round favor in many quarters, ls that the membership of the Dominion Parliament and of the several Provincial Legislatures be reduced. The fact lhat Canada is notoriously over-governed is strongly urged as a reason for such reductions. Some people have also advocated the union of the three Maritime Provinces inlo one Province with .one Legislative Assembly, and the same sug- gestlon has been advanced regarding the three Prairie Provinces. There is also a strong body of publlr opinion in favor of the abolition of the Senate. While It would lake a long time to bring aboul lhe union of these .groups of Provinces, or to secure tho abolition of the Senate, If, indeed, these things ate desirable or feasible, Ihere can be little doubt but that no dire results would follow a reduction in the membership of Provincial Legislatures. On the olher hand, substantial reductions in expenditure could be effected thereby. According to the last figures available, Ontario has a Legislative Assembly of 111 members; Quebec maiutalns a Legislative Council of 21 members appointed for life and a Legislative Assembly of Ha members, a total of 109; Nova Scolia also hns two chambers, u Legislative Council of 21 and an Assembly of IIS; New Brunswick's Assembly consists of 48; Prince Edward Island has 30i Manitoba, 55; British Columbia, -17; Alberta, 5.8; and Saskatchewan, (ill. This makes a grand total of 570 members lo direct lhe machinery of Iegislaiion in the nine Provinces. A reduction of anywhere from fifty to one hundred could be made with benefit to all concerned, except the members whose seats would be wiped oul. In llils connection li Is encouraging lo recall that at the recenl session of the Saskatchewan Legislature ti resolution was presented by a private member, but a Government suppottc-r, in favor ot a reduction In the membership of ll.e Assembly from Iii! lo 50, such reduction to be made in the next Redistribution. An nmendmenl was offered by iwo other Government supporters favoring a reduction In membership, but not specifying tlie exact number of seats to be retained. This amendment received lhe support of the cabinet ministers and was unanimously adopted by lite Assembly. It is likely, therefore, thai Saskatchewan will lend the way la the near future towards smaller Legislatures. Our present unduly large Leglslallve bodies is lhe direct result of lhe policy of nearly all Governments on the eve of an appeal lo the electorate bringing down new Redistribution measures providing for a re-arrangement of constituencies in view of changing population, and In so doing It was always more popular lo provide for Increased population in certain districts by creating new constituencies than to wipe out a constituency or unite three into one where the population had decreased or remained stationary. Thus, step by step, and almost unnoticed, our Legislatures have grown Into unnecessarily large bodies. Not only It ls high lime thai llils practice Was discontinued, bul there Is real need for drastic nclion lo correct the mistakes of the past, and bring lhe membership of the several Legislatures down to a number more nearly approximately actual requirements and needs. To accomplish this reform ls qutto simple, because tho Provlhces have the power in their own hands to il, lermiiie ihe si/,-.- of their Legislatures. The problem is not quite so easy of accomplishment In the ease of the Dominion Parliament, which consist of 90 Senators and 2:13 members of ihe House of Commons. Membership in the Senate Is fixed and ls not likely to be Increased, lim ihe number ot Commoners is bound io steadily Increase under lhe provision ol Hie UNA. Aei which stipulates that Quebec shall always have or, members and Hint all other Provinces shall be represented according lo their population al the same ratio that 05 hears lo the population of Quebec, Tills proviso hits not, in the past, resulted In any very rapid Increase in membership as is indicated by ihe fact that at Confederation the number of members was IsI to,- ihe four Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Hven as late as 1905, prior to Hie creation of Hie Provinces of Alberia and Saskatchewan, Hie membership of the Commons had only Increased by 33, lo 211. since then, however, the increase lias been more rapid, ni'l lhe next House will consist of over 210 members. In other words, the Increase In Hie last twenty years has been equal to the preceding forty years. The lime musl come, therefore, when a different basis of membership must be fixed, unless the Commons Is to become a terribly expensive and altogether unwlehllj body. There ls good reason tor urging Hint consideration be given llils Inevitable problem now, rather than leave it to future years when ii win unquestionably he more difficult to arrive at a solution satisfactory lo all Hie Provinces.

While In this wretched condition a huly friend urged me lo give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial and I procured a supply. After taking the pills for a while l could see that I was growing si longer, and I gladly continued their use unltl 1 had fully regained my old-time health and strength.

HIM. the existing plans were endorsed for conllntianco during lhe presenl year and until suoli lime as if may prove possible io evolve better, Ai the conference referred lo, certain Improvements were effected In the cardboard schedule Issued for farmers to fill up, anil on this card the Dominion and Provincial Governments make an earnest appeal In all farmers In give Hie Information required, urging lhe following seven specific reasons why they should do so: (I) The statistics are collected and published primarily in ihe farmer's own interest; (2) They are his protection against misleading reports by speculators interested In controlling or manipulating prices; ('.!) Tiny provide information which determines prices, and so ensure fair play all round; (4) They enable transportation companies lo judge of the volue of Ihe crop and to make adequate and timely arrangements for its movement; (3) Bankers require accurate informal ion for the extension of credit facilities; (6) Manufacturers, wholesale rnil retail merchants and oihets require knowledge of crop conditions for lhe establishment ol profitable local enterprises which react favorably upon the farming Industry; (7) No one can prevent the issue of crop estimates; bul farmers can help to ensure the accuracy of lhe government estimates by returning the schedule required. The larger the number of returns, the greater will be the value of lhe estimates based thereon. It is further pointed oul thai the completed schedules will be treated as absolutely confidential, and no Individual returns will be divulged. Tlie facts supplied will not be used in any way for taxation purposes o; lor the Imposition of any other liability. In most branches of national effort, the necessity for accurate statistics is being more and more realized. When it is considered that Canada is now one of tlie world's leading wheat- growing and exporting countries, and that the prices received by wheat growers are determined by world conditions of supply and demand, farmers too should realize that upon the timely publication of accurate information depends largely the welfare of the great agricultural Industry as a whole and consequently that of each Individual concerned in it. If any farmer in this district should nol receive the cardboard schedule through the rural school or otherwise by the middle of June, Immediate application for It should be made either to the Public School teacher of the School District ill which he resides, the Provincial Department of Agriculture al lhe capital of his province, or the Dominion Statistician at Ottawa. World's Good Wheat Crop Hurt Canada Record Harvest In 1923 But Prices Were Disappointing to Farmers "Although In 11123 the Dominion reaped lhe mosl abundant harvest on record, the returns to the Canndlnn farmer were disappointing," said 13. II. Godfrey, head of lhe agricultural statistics division of the Bureau ol Statistics, Ottawa, in a paper read on j his behalf before lhe Farmers' Club at , London. The paper was a study of costs ol . production on Canadian farm and conveyance of produce t" English ports. "But ihis disappointment," Mr. Godfrey cdhtlnued, "was due large!) to the general excellence of Ihe wheal crop throughout the world which had the effect of reducing the price. This i is ii rare occurrence and we may look for a rise in the price when world conilllions of wheat revert lo the normal." Dealing wllh rresh outlets for Canadian grain, Mr. Godfrey pointed out lhat the Panama Canal ls likely to have an important Influence in shortening the land haul from a large part of Western Canada. He also Indicated that Hie Hudson Bay route has received tlie approval of successive governments. The United States, he added, has apparently reached the limit of wheat production, while in Canada, where vast areas of fertile lands still await the plough, agricultural product len must cominue annually to increase.

Many private owners cannot afford j lo raise forests because there is no j income from growing timber. Land j suitable only for timber growing should be exempt from taxation during the growing period. Rocky lands, lands too poor to cultivate, steep hill- siijes and swamps might thus be brought Into cultivation, Cutoyer lands might become suitable Investments for life insurance companies and ollu-rs willing to wait a long time lor a new crop to grow.—The Chicago Tribune.

In those days thc dread silence which preceded a storm liehl nature In a deadly grip uniil thc onrush of the maelstrom of snow and wind wllh Its destruction engulfed all things lu lis wake. The weather has pcrceptibly^chang. ed for lhe better. Strawberries can he raised anywhere In the prairie provinces together with other varieties of fruits, Hie growth of which was regarded as impossible several years ago. Men connected wllh forestry work In these provinces say that in time horllculturalists will be able to supply the people ol Western Canada wllh every kind of fiult demanded, oulslde or the tropical varieties. Discussing lhe causes of this weather transition, weather prophets advance several logical theories. Some claim lhat the weather merely moves in cycles—first warm, then hoi. They inspect records of years back and by Hiking the weather averages over periods of ten years each, that Ihe average temperature of these cycles has never varied to any grent extent since the first observations were made. Olhers are.supporting the viewpoint of Ihose who believe that a change is Inking place. Some attribute the climatic transition to Irrigation projects of lhe west. There are now about 39 million acres under irrigation and through this means a tremendous amount of mols- lure ls brought Into what was formerly a dry country. Evaporation and subsequent precipitation has also been largely Instrumental In changing an arid plain into a rertile grain-producing country. The theory ls also often advanced that the climate has been affected by the destruction of forests. These forests, It ls claimed, formerly conserved moisture and kept the snow from melting too quickly, so lhat the action of the sun on the earth was slow. In Ontario, where the forests formerly sheltered the country, there are now fierce storms both summer and winter. Where a bllzrard was an unknown quantity in years gone by, there are now storms that rival tho early storms of the western prairies. It is believed to be virtually impossible to find a man over 40 years old who lias perfect eyesight, BLUE RIBBON TEA Ask for Blue Ribbon Tea and see that you get it—there is no other Tea "just as good."

Rats Drive Birds From Island Many, thousands of sea birds who I make their homes In the spring on the Island of Allsa Craig, in the Clyde, have been driven Ironi their nests by armies of rats, which have overrun the Island. As far as the Craig Is concerned, some species of the birds have become extinct! The rats carry oil eggs friim lhe nests anil kill the young birds.

Herb essayed to burn 'cm over for the lliirbageinen, and Mun- ruc's hirelings touched up his slants for 10 bingles and 10 runs. The tilt started olf in big league style when Isaacson fanned, Lewis breezed, and Goodall whiffed. Kroner's tallied through Elmer when Olsen fumbled a tricky grounder, and held the lead until the fourth, ■when u (lock of base hits chased three counters over thc platter. In the sixth another onslaught, with a few bright miss-plays, netted five more. Fraser threatened at this point when Olsen wns nicked for three hits, and one run came in, but he relieved by striking out a couple, which provd quite effective. Bcezer Bill Clarke found his batting eye and logged off three healthy swipes. Dean Freshlield pnlled the same bright trick and Olsen had a nice large evening, whiffing eleven and collecting a free pass and three smacks in four trips up. Thure Stormo turned in a creditable performance as umpire.

SOCIAL AND PEKSONAL FORMER WHONNOCK TEACHER HEARD FROM Those who knew Miss Mabel H, Turner when she taught the one- roomed Whonnock school will bo pleased that she has just received her first-class certificate for B.C. by virtue of taking her "Life" Diploma in the Bellingham Normal. She had her choice this month of taking a county superintendency in one of the Southern States at $1,- 500, or the 7th and 8th grades nt Momlo, Wash., a consolidated school carrying four years of high school work. She chose the latter. Many grown-up students will be pleased at Miss Turner—now Mrs. Mabel H, Turner-Johnson's—success. BIVOUAC OF COMMUNITY CLUB After deferring, to suit the weather, tho Lillooet Community Club at last was able to gather in true bivouac style on the bank of the Alouotte. They had a delightful time, and the evening passed all too rapidly. Messrs. JJ. M. Cameron and C. .L Wnrnc-, with many others, helped cheerfully. The supper was, as the school boy would say, "composed" of the most delicious edibles. The sing-song marked real merit, and enthusiasm, and — sociability, and was led by Mr. Piatt, Mr. Pring and others. Hinted it is that there will be more of these Alouette outings before the passing of tho "basket of summer fruit." There will be no meetings of the Wolf Cubs during July. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Boxtrom are the proud parents of a little son. Citizens will do well to remember thut Mr. J. Eaton does painting and papcr-hunging. He is an artist at thc job, and so always gives satisfaction. Misses Edith Harrison and Vera Graham are the Haney C.G.I.T. representatives to spend a season at White Rock camp.

Eminent Railway Builders A unique record of Canadian railway pioneer engineers isembodied in a photograph taken in Vancouver recently of three prominent members ol the profession whose record for continued service in the survey and construction of railways is possibly without parallel. They are—reading from left to right, H. J. Cambie, M.E.I.C, eighty-seven years of age; T. H. White, M.E.I.C, seventy-six years of age; and J. H. Kennedy, M.E.I.C, seventy-two years of age. They are all resident in Vancouver. 2aoh has been identified with one of the threo great transcontinental railroads now operating in British Columbia, as chief engineer on the location and construction of the original main lines within the Province, pioneered through the wilderness of mountains, canyons, forests and plains by feats of engineering skill and perseverance not surpassed and scarcely equalled in any other n.irt of the world. Each one is enjoying excellent health, and occupies lho very highest place in the respect and esteem of the members of the engineering profession together with the general public. Another very interesting coincidence lies in the fact that each one possesses the apparently magic name "Henry". Henry John Cambie, M.E.I.C, was born on October 25th, 1S36, in County Tipperary, Ireland. He had charge of the location of the present main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway from the Coast to Griffin Lake, and was chief engineer of the world-famous construction through the Fraser Canyon from Yale to Lytton, and also the construction of the section from Savona Ferry to Shuswap Lake. Mr. Cambie has been continuously associated with the Canadian Pacific Railway and its predecessor, the Government Railway, for sixty-eight years. His name is perpetuated by the station on the Canadian Pacific, Cambie, on the giant loop below Glacier. Mr. Cambie explored, surveyed and planned the whole course of the Canadian Pacific through a large section of the province of British Columbia, and under his direct supervision the part that runs through the canyons of the Fraser was built. At the age of eiglrty- seven he is still hale and hearty, enjoying the love and esteem of his fellow men. Thomas Henry White, M.E.I.C, was born on January 27th, 1848, at St. Thomas, Ontario. He was chief engineer of the location and construction of the present main line from thc Yellowhead Pass, down the North Thompson and Fraser Canyons to New Westminster. It is interesting to note that he was Mr. Cambie'? right-hand assistant during the work in the Fraser Canyon. Mr. White has always been popular with his fellow engineers, being noted for abundant good nature, keen sense of humour, and an absolute fairness in all his associations. James Henry Kennedy, M.E.I.C, was born on March 3rd, 1848, in Carleton County, Ontario. He had charge of the location of the main line in British Columbia, under the Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern Railway charter, from Laurier to the Coast. As chief engineer, he built the first section in the Province, from Laurier to Grand Forks, through the Kettle Valley country and afterwards constructed the longer section from Chopaka to Brookmere, through the difficult Similkameen and Tulameen Valleys The complete record of the life- work of each of these pioneer railroaders is full of Interesting reminiscence, and the monuments of their handiwork arc to be seen in practically every province of the Dominion. Although British Columbians take great pride in the achievements of those men, they nevertheless feel that they belong to Canada, from coast to coast.

I think it does me good to let my imagination thus wander away with my thoughts. II relieves the aching loneliness.

I can see it is an advantage denied you here to a very large extent. "Our moods of depression are very often dispelled by allowing our imaginations thus to run away with our thoughts. Sometimes the visions of the imagination may seem light and frivolous and childish, but the happiest moments of life aro often the product of frivolous Imagining, a truth that is very well exemplified in childhood days. I think that our fancies should be Indulged and encouraged. They relieve the tedium of the monotonous hours of life. They are not wrong; ihey are nature's antidote to gloomy thoughts. What you have said just now both interested and pleased me. It. conies as a tonic to my own thoughts and mood at the present time." Mary, feeling relieved and encouraged by the thoughts to which Ronald had just given expression, and acting on me impulse of the encouragement given, said: "It is, indeed, nice to know dial the feelings that sometimes take possession of me, and which are so depressing, and the thoughts that accompany them are not peculiar to myself, nor, as one might imagine, due to an odd streak in my own make-up. I suppose that most: people feel the same way at odd times. But, during the last few days I felt particularly downcast, and wondered if there was something about me thnt was displeasing to people and .caused them annoyance. Since the night of the dance 1 fell that you, Mr. MacRae, were annoyed at me, and 1 have been wondering what could have been the cause of it. When you came back lo the dance at daylight, after your long absence, you looked worried and downcast. I wondered whether I were to blame, whether 1 had done anything to annoy you. You are going away morrow, and it lias worried me a great deal to think that you might leave feeling annoyed nt me after all you have done for us—and—for me. I hope, Mr. MacRae, I have not given you cause for offence. If I have It was unknown to me and quite unintentional."

I can assure you though, lhat 1 was nol. annoyed at you; my feelings were not due to annoyance." tlned questioning look where she was silting and. turning towards MacRae, I do not un- Xplaltl what it is all sir With she arose fron on the pimss, him, said: "Mr. del-stand; please about "li Is nothing, at lefts! nothing very serious. Miss Fraser, but. 1 feel I have no riglii to ;ell you ihe real reason. It might cause yo,. unhapplness In the future. I am sure M would not in- teresi you. As it is only a personal matter with me, I would raiher it remain a secret." "Much as I would wish to know,'I still do not understand, Mr. MacRae." After a pause she added: "Don't you think we had belter go home now?" With ihat she commenced (o gather up the things, put Ihem into the baa- kel, which sin- carried to the boat. While she did so, he stood by In slupl- fled Inaction, amazed at the recepiion she had accorded his blundering an swers. In a short time, however, he. recovered sufllcienl poise lo approach j her ns she was placing Ihe things down in the stern of the boal. Me felt now that his only alternative to a clear understanding between them was to explain all, and make a lull confession of his sentiments and his love or her. "Miss Fraser, I hope you will forgive me if I appear to you to have been crude In my refusal to reply to your questions. I ditl not mean to be so. A while ag<* we were talking about being Oppressed by depressing feelings of loneliness. As those feelings are often caused b\ greal disappointments, an understanding of toy feelings may help to explain all, and. perhaps, furnish an answer lo your questions. "Tho secret of the whole mailer is, Mary, lhat I love you wiih all lhe Intensity thai It is possible for the soul of man to love a woman. From lhe time I first met you on the trail, 1 loved you. From ihat time on my tic- lions were controlled by my love for you. My depressing moods of the past few days have been caused by disappointed love. The night of the dance I learned for the flrsl time of your engagement to Sn^t. Melvin, aud lhat you were lo be married to him soon. 1 felt so disappointed and depressed al. the news ihat I took a long walk along the lake shore lo think matters out, and to try and reconcile myself to my disappointment and also decide on the better course to follow. "Vour father had made a proposition to me to stay with him, lake up a homestead, and go iu with him in the ranching business. I have decided that 11 would not be right lor me lo stay around here in view of my lovo ol you, and In view ol the facl that you are going to marry another man. I thought that it would nol be fair as it mlghl be distressing to you, should you at any time learn of my love of you. I accordingly decided to bury the secret of my love and leave you happy in lhe choice you have made. Sergt. Melvin is a splendid man and worthy of the love and hand of any woman. Bitter as my disappointment are, I cannot hut wish you all the joys of a happy life. I love you with all the intensily of which my soul is capable of loving. As I do love you, I do not wish to stand in the way of your future happiness. I Ihink that it is better for us both that I should leave, but in the depths of my heart the secret of my love of you shall ever remain fresh and unalloyed. All I ask is the assurance that in future years I shall have your good wishes and esteem. "I did net wish to distress you by telling you all this. While iq,a certain sense it Is a pleasure to me to have you know the secret of my love, yet I do hope that that knowledge will not cause you future unhapplness. As I love you, I glial, think of you always. My recollections of the all but too brief time of our acquainlance shall be the happiest memories of my life. Forgive me, Mary, if in any way, I have caused you distress. But now that I have confessed my love, I have begun already to feel the relief of which you spoke a while ago." When Ronald had made this, his first confession of love, he stood with head uncovered In nn attitude of true devotion. The background of the setting sun-tinged his features all with gold. With n wild surge Mary had never experienced before, she felt that all at once her golden dreams had come true, that here stood her Fairy Prince of whom she had dreamed, and with whom she had in dreams conversed. At first she listened with downcast looks and averted eyes to the oul pourings of Ronald's heart as he told her the story of his love and disappointment. Then with deep feelings of ineffable joy, she marked the true ring of the note of sincerity in Ills voice as every word sank deep into her heart. When he had ceased speaking, and she beheld him now as she had never done before, she slowly_j),rose, and, with the lovellght shining through tear-dimmed eyes, she approached and gave her answer In a clear voice: "Oil, Ronald; It Is not true that I am engaged to Sergt. Melvin; it ls not true that I ever thought of marrying him. I could not marry a man whom I do not love; 1 do not.Iove him, therefore, 1 could never marry him. You say that you love me, Ronald, then do no' go away; do not leave me. CUTICURA HEALS SKINJROUBLE Face Broke Out In Pimples. Were Disfiguring. Extremely Sore.'

Little wonder at such an opinion, as Mi'. Lougheed explained tho wonderful processes of taking down the mighty forest monsters and convcv- ing them to the river, some dozen miles away. President Lougheed was assisted in the entertaining by Mr. McCormick, Vice-President of the Co. and the Misses Margaret and Ethel Lougheed.

Side lights on a Great Iiidnstry OLD TIMER'S COMMENT LUMBER THE COMMERCIAL LIFE OF THE PROVINCE "Wc arcall More or Lest Dependent on it." "I remember way buck in tbe 'Seventies' what a serious situation was created, amounting almost, to a panic, when the news went round that tlie sawmill was tfohitf to close down. We wero all more or less dependent on it." Thus an old-timer recently speakinp of the rally days of the historic Eastings Mil!, around which p-rew up the present city of Vancouver, Tho most effective way to realize what the lumber industry means to British Columbia is to visualize for a moment what would really happen if hte 3,000 concerns exclusively engaged in handling forest products were compelod by any industrial upheaval to close (lown. Here area few things that would happen : An investment of $20,000,000 would be imperilled. An annual purchasing power of $100,00,00 would be destroyed. Forty thousand workers would bo without jobs. The Province would losea third of its revenue. The railroads would lose half of their freight traffic. Half the number of big ships would comeot our harbours. The situation is in fact much the same as it was in the 'Seventies," the forest industries are the life of the Province. .."We are all more or less dependent on them."

NATIONAL PARKS ARE GAME SANCTUARIES THE National Parks of Canada are a haven for wild life; 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 Sarks of Canada and the graceful eer, 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 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 nnd 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 thc present time And 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 "blghorli" mountain sheep grazes peaccfuly along the lower slopes of tho 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 r.nd 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 ba 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. RAILWAY USES ELECTRIC CAR THE first storage battery electrically driven car used by railways in Western Qanada has been placed in service between Winnipeg and Transcona by the Canadian National Railways, whoso shops at Transcona employ some 2,400 men, many of whom reside in Winnipeg, travelling back and forth morning and evening. Others reside in Transcona with their families, but do their shopping and other business in Winnipeg. The inauguration of tho new electric car service gives a regular schedule of runs daily which can be operated by the railway company much more economically than under the former system of operating extra passenger trains several times dally. The new car was converted from a gasoline-electric car at the St. Catherines shops of the Canadian National. It is of solid steel construction throughout with four-wheeled ball bearing: trucks. The length is 6!) feet over all and accommodation is provided for 100 passengers. One end of the car is reserved as a smoking; compartment. The car Is capable? of maintaining a speed of 40 miles per hour on level track and makes the one-way trip between Winnipeg and Transcona In 16 minute*
