Coming out a few minutes later for carbide, they found a pronounced hiatus where the shop had stood. A ���nowslide had rambled down the mountain, taking the shop and all its contents to the bottom of the cliffs, a thousand feet or more. There were no surface signs to indicate that a slide had ever taken this route before, or the shop would not have been built there. STAGNATION?

No Advertising Aecepted for First Page PREJUDICE AND IGNORANCE EACH YEAR as the month of November comes around, conversations often drift to the last great war, and many instances are related by men who were fortunate enough to have taken part and return. Oft-times these conversations also include men who were not so fortunate as the first mentioned, and as a result it is not uncommon to hear every shade cf opinion expressed. Some of these are good and some are just plain foolishness, and are not worth a moment's consideration or comment, if it were not that they keep fires smouldering that might in times of stress be a sonrce of annoyance. Possibly the most foolish opinion that one hears, more so in this district than in any other, is that which is the product of ignorance and prejudice, to the effect that as far as the British peoples are concerned, it was a war of profit. If these cheap, warped apostles of a false democracy had been fortunate enough to be able to travel, study and observe things with a well balanced, open and receptive mind, they would long ago have realized that there was not, and could not have been any profit in the war for the British people; that even aside from the wholesale losses of their loved ones on the field of battle, far more people were ruined financially than there were who made profit by it. Not only that, but experience has taught that the self-righteous man, who is so fond of decrying the part that our nations took in the war, is one of the first to hitnsalf take advantage of opportunities to enrich his own individual pocket No one from the highest to the lowest in the English speaking portions of the retain even the least semblance of self respect. Informed opinion in foreign countries, even among our enemies, freely admit that the British people have for generations pointed the way for the entire world to higher standards of civilization and advancement to greater democracy and greater freedom. Who is it that since 1918 has consistently taken a lead in attempting to solve the myriad of delicate and intricate problems that enmeshed a war-torn world, and so prevented a dozen other wars, and saved millions of people from the horrors of such wars; that has eventuated in the signing of a treaty at Locarno recently which promises to become in some respects a Magna Charta of Europe? Has it not been the British people? Then why indulge in so many nonsensical opinions that can only be likened to the pus from the running sores of preju dice and ignorance. DAL'BY B.

Whether or not incorporation will be a benefit has still to be decided; but if the past and experiences of other towns teaches anything, it is that incorporation must have a great deal to recommend it.

One of the strongest arguments against incorporation in the past, has been the lack of an operating mine on Bear river, that would atssure increased permanency to the town. This was in every respect a sound argument, but by developments on Dunwell, it is no longer an argument. Another objection has been that it would increase taxation. How does any one know that it would do this? Hew can such a statement be proven until the question and all that it entails has been fully examined. This is why the Boaro of Trade appointed the committee to investigate. If it ���will increase taxation, then of course the question promises to be a debatable one, but if it does not, there should British Empire wants war at any time, | be little room for debate.

FREIGHT CONTRACTORS AGENTS FOR COAL CAPS POWDER FUSE William Richard McDonnell, sog of "Paddy" McDonnell, of Hyder, Alaska, who came to this district from Seattle in September, 1921. and who for a time operated the picture show in Hyder, and at the same time drove a motor stage to Premier, has invented a Pennine four-wheel brake that bids fair to revolutionize this feature of motor cars in the very near future. Mr McDonnell left for Seattle yesterday for the purpose of placing his invention on the market, and expects to reside permanently in the south. Previous to coming to this district, this brilliant young inventor spent some years in a number of the big motor factories of the States, and having a good grounding in motor mechanics, it was while driving his motor stage on the Premier hill that he ent, and has to stop only ene- tenth part per square inch, of that which the present brake is called upon to do, consequently the brake by contracts now entered into, based upon actual experience and tests has longer life, and is to be guaranteed for five years without any attention whatsoever. This brake is so constructed as to be adaptable to all four wheels of a car. Due to this and the greatly increased brakeing surface obtained of the McDonnell brake, it has to stop enly sixty-two hundredths of a pound per square inch brakeing sur- i face, as compared with the pres-j ent brake, which is 6* pounds per square inch of brakeing sur-i face. New Oiling System Mr McDonnell has as well perfected a hydraulic oil system for applying his brakes, thereby obviating any mechanical operation or attention required in its op- plication. The oil being under pressure applies all four brakes evenly ancl at the same time. The principle on which this hydraulic system works is, that the lubricating oil is pumped from the engine base, under constant pressure, and is used to apply the brakes through a piston DOMINION TIRES AGF.NTS FOR UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY Office 5th St., Stewart. conceived the idea of a new mo x . , xi x'. ��� , * j.

Much More Efficient On motor cars the McDonnell brake has been proven in actual tests to be from 40 to 75 per cent more efficient, according to the |speed of the cars, than any brake heretofore or at present in use. The principle employed in the McDonnell brake is one whereby one disc, or brakeing surface, remains stationary, and the other revolves with the wheel. The brake itself contains several of these rotating, and non-rotating discs, thus making up the brakeing surface. The brake action is brought into effect by one moving part compressing the plates or discs together. Due to the number ef these plates used, the brake has about ten times the brakeing surface of the present type of brake, and is thereby ten times more effici- ,1.

Wilson Means Big Income Mr McDonnell has completely protected his idea with patents, and has entered into contracts with some of the largest motor car manufacturers that will result in netting him a very larne income from royalties in the near future. These contracts are so drawn as to enable him to retain the patent rights. According to some of these contracts the brake; is to be applied to 1926 models, with the result that it is only a short time before the Premier hill, which was basically responsible for this invention, witnesses car drivers using it to circum- naviuate its tortuous twists and turns. Truly can it be said that the Premier hill has not only added some $20,000,000 to the wealth uf the world, but that it has also given generously to the mechanical advancement of civilization.
