Plea To Conserve
Timber Along The
Island Highway
The tourist season is again with
us. That is easly discernible because
of the reawakening of the sentiment
that has prompted us in the past to
usk authorities at Victoria to take ac.
tlon to conserve a narrow strip of
timber along the Island Highway iu
sections where it hns not already been
cut or burned out. There have been
many arguments adduced pro and
con. A few days ago a discussion
of this subject took place and It' is
reproduced for the persual of those
interested in saving tlio appearance
of the landscape for the benefit of
tourists between here and Campbell
River.
The advocate of the idea had one argument, the inducement lt would be
for tourists to visit our district. Instead of looking at myriads of burned and blackened stumps the visitors
to our Valley would enjoy a trip over
a road boardered on each side by
stately Ill's and other evergreen. One
man ridiculed the proposal—not for
the sake of argument alone, but, he
mid, it Is Impractical and gave as hiu
reasons:
1. A narrow strip of timber along
the road would not stand—It would
be blown down. Trees grow ill large
tracts and in this way give each other
protection against storms.
2. The timber left standing would
probably have to be purchased as It
now belongs to private parties who
are not likely, to let it stand for sentimental reasons and would, ln case of
sale for the purpose, ask compensation
lo the full value of the timber.
3. The life of tlle fir tree is between one hundred and one hundred
and fifty years. Many of the trees
iu our forests are now rotting at the
tops. Would it not lie better to do
away with them and eliminate an e..e-
sore as distasteful to the eye as the
blackened stumps? This does not
mean that all the trees In our forests
are rotting, no one Is foolish enough
to think that.
4. The removal of the timber is Inevitable; therefore would It not he
easier to beautify the present wane
spaces by planting maple trees and
shrubs along the Island Highway. A
shrub that lends itself to this scheme
most admirably is the English Broom,
that will grow almost anywhere and
which will not become a pest, because
the seed does nol fly and cannot he
blown across country by the wind.
Nothing could be prettier than a hedgi
of broom along the Island Highway
with a maple tree every few yards
The broom seed would have to be imported to the district from Victoria or
elsewhere but there Is an ample supply of maple trees for the purpose.
The scheme is a feasible one and If
this district is to benefit to any great
extent from the tourist traffic, something of the sort will have to be dope
or the blackened stumps will remain
an eyesore from Merville to Oyster
River and farther. There seems to
be only one remedy for what has ill-
ready happened and that Is to find
something to take the place of wluil
"has gone before" and something that
more than likely will lu time be even
more beautiful than the tall standing
timber. it will never be done If we
sit down and write letters asking
others to do It for us. II can and
will be done only by community effort and a move made by those directly Interested.
OFFICE STAFF DANCE
The Office Staff of the Canadian
Collieries are holding a dance In the

Baseballers Plan
Big Parade For
Opening Game
Plana for a raffle and dance for
May 2 and a parade for the opening
league gome in the Upper Island
Baseball League May 11, were just a
few of the things discussed by the
Senior Baseball Club last week at its
two meetings.
As usual, the merchants of the city
have freely contributed to the raffle
and as a result over $110 has been
collected in prizes. There are 31
prizes altogether a detailed list of
which is adverUsed In this issue.!
Three teams are out in a race to see
which can sell Uie most tickets. J. W.!
Tremlett, who is chairman of the raffle committee has one team and Joe
Kirkbrlde and A. S. Denholme are I
j the captains of the other two teams, j
I It is going to be a mighty race. It
| may be worth mentioning here thut
| the proceeds of the raffle are expected to buy uniforms for the team.
May 2 has been set as the date for
the club's dance. It was tho original intention to hold a novelty dance
on this date but owing to tie Moose
Carnival May 7 this Idea was dropped
In order not to conflict with this fra-
ternal organization. Dave Richards
has been appointed floor manager for
the dance while Messrs J. Bono, Joe
Kirkbrlde and Jack HIU will act as ,
a gate committee. The fact that the
raffle tickets will be drawn at the |
dance should help to make lt a bump-
er one.
Saturday games are not practicable ,
here for several reasons so the Ilrst
league game falls upon a Sunday. |
Secretary Deholme was instructed to
communicate with the City Council
for permission to hold a parade to pre-
cede the opening game. It will be n
big feature and added attraction to i
those ln the outlying district .
In the past with the exception of thc
.last two years it has been customary
to hold a baseball game at the May
Day Sports. Messrs Joe Kirkbrlde
and Alex. Denholme were appointed as
a delegation to attend the next meet-
of the 1924 May Day Celebration conl.
mlttee to try and arrange If possible
for a boll game at this year's sports.
Thc entire baseball club will attend
the meeting to assist the delegates in
their mission.
Royston Lumber Japs and Cumberland will shake the cobwebs off in a
practice game on the Recreation
Grounds Sunday at 3 o'clock. Complete arrangements have not been
made yet but it is known that Dave
Hunden will throw against the Japs.

GIRLS STAR ON
SOCCER TEAM
CAMPBELL RIVER.—Saturday, tbe
5th April will be long remembered In
the minds of the young people of
Campbell River as the day of tbe
keen football contest between Campbell River School and Merville. The
result of the game was 3-1 In favor
of Campbell River. Reg. Masters
was referee.
One feature of the game was, that
owing to lack of boys, two girls, Janet
McKenzie and Merla Glanvllle. played
for Campbell River, in the position o!
backs and proved themselves a defence that the Merville boys, who were
altogether heavier than thc Campbell River boys, could not break down.
Ralph Haigh, Arnold Wickstrom
and Reggie Pidcock scored the three
goals for Campbell River and Captain
Shaw scored the goal for Merville,
The game was fairly even and the.
combination displayed by both sides
was good. .Merville, however, was
weak in defence aud also missed two
penalties, one in the ilrst five minutes of play and tbe other in the last
few minutes of ihe game.
Lome Higgins distinguished himself as goal-keeper for Campbell River and had it not been for his good
play, tbe score might have been much
different.
The Campbell River team entertained the Merville players to dinner
at the Willows Hotel after the game
aud arrangements have been made for
a return match to be played at Merville in two weeks time.

purchase hns heretofore been largely a matter of guess work.
Built lo this Idenl—the Lowest Priced
High Grade Car iu the world—The Star
Car—with Its characteristic handsome
lines, its distinctive radiator design—plus
its 27 feature reasons—is the logical buy
for the man of modest income, whose motor
investment must pny satisfaction dividends.
To-day—step Into a Star Show Room—
and a Star dealer will quickly show you
how most of the "guess" In automobile buying ls eliminated lu purchasing a Star Car.

2. Bona tide .Merchants.
3. Students.
There was a clause in Section 9 of
the Act by which the Minister could
authorize admission of any Chinaman
without being subjects to tho provt-
lions of this Act
There was also a provision In the
Act dealing with any Chinese landing
in Canada within throe months of the
passing of the Act, that they would
ome in under the old Act, paying the
usual Head Tax; this was provided for
Chinamen who might beVni their way
.hen the Act came into force.
It was asserted by the opponents
jf tho Government that the Bill was a
nitre eamothige, and was deliberate!,
drawn in such a loese way ns to admit a lttTKe number of Chinese, and
'hey specially pointed to Section J),
saying that under this Section tho
Minister could bring in any quantity
of Indentured labor, regardless of the
fact that a similar clause has always
been in the Act to take care of a few
very exceptional cases.
What are the facts?
In reply to questions asked by A. W.
.,'eill in the House on March 6th., the
.Iovernment stated that four hundred
nd fifty-five Chinamen had entered
Canada since the 30th of June last
,vhen the Act came into effect.
Of these however, four hundred and
thirty eight came In under the olu
Act within three months of thc passing of the new Act; of course, this
will never .occur again. This only
leaves seventeen to be accounted for
under the new Act.
Of these seventeen, ten were Chinamen returning to Canada who had
been residents here. One was admitted as servant to the Chinese Consul.
Five were admitted as students going
to attend the University, and one was
admitted under Section it referred to
above. The facts concerning this
one are, that he was a Chinaman being
educated at Berkeley College, California, and wa.s coming here for
few months, to study some point In
connection with our Canadian Universities; he could hardly qualify as
a student as he was not going to attend regularly any University, therefore he was allowed in under the provisions of Section !* for a limited period and left again in about five months
later.
So that under the new Act since tho
Siith of June last, only six Chinamen
have really entered Canada, five of
whom arc students and must return
at the etui of their college period, and
tlio other one is attached to the suite
of the Consul and must return with
him. This looks like genuine Chinese exclusion. The only matter for
regret is that the word "Oriental" was
not used in place of "Chinese" so ns
to include the Japanese. The question of their immigration will he
dealt with in a later article.

Broken Antlers and Bleeding Heads
Prove Realism uf "Shots" In
Fox Drama
Broken antlers, smashed off at the
base, leaving bleeding stubs. Indicate
thc realism of the reindeer stampede
scene in the William Fox production
"The Blizzard." which comes lo the
Ilo-llo Theatre, Friday and Saturday.
The picture is an adaption of the
story by Selma Lagerlof. Swedish winner of the Nobel prize for literature,
called 'The Story of a Country House.'
One of the most remarkable scenes
In the production Is that of a blizzard in l.apland, during which a great
herd of reindeer stampedes ln terror.
Origlnatally, this "shot" was caught
for the news cameras, but It so lilted thc story that It was Included as
part of the picture.
.Mary Johnson, known ns the "Pick-
ford of Europe," has the leading role
in "The Blizzard," in which she Is
supported by a cast of talented Swedish performers.

reindeer crash into underbrush, Interlock horns and in their terror ,pile In.

VVALLY VAN MEETS
MANY HAZARDS IN
CROSS COUNTRY RACE
In "The Drlvln' Fool," the scheduled
six reel feature coming to the Ilo-llo
theatre on .Monday and Tuesday,
Wally Van, Ihe star .makes a cross
country automobile drive from San
Francisco to New York. Many times,
while going over the snow-topped
Rooky Mountains, Wally, with the
help of Horatio St. Albans, his dusky
partner from a south sea isle, was
forced to cut his way through heavy
snow drifts which had completely
covered the road. This, of retiree,
was a great disadvantage to Van as
he was out io set a record for the trip
as well as for the picture. While on
Ihe Lincoln Highway, about the half
way mark, Wally was bumming along
between fifty-five and sixty when just
he., ond a turn In the road he spied a
hay wagon which made 1! .mpcsslulu
for him to pass. It was useless to
apply the brakes and Wally's only alternative was to drive off the road.
He did, bul he didn't notice a ditch
and a few hours later, when Van and
Horatio regained their senses and
started their journey once more, they
found the same hay wagon "filling"
thc road some hundred feet ahead of
them, We feel safe in- saying tliat
Wally waited for It to turn off the
highway before he attempted to pass
It again.

Time Achievement
Marking an epoch in the history of

night of December .11. 1923, when H. I besides being transmitted on a wave-
P. Davis, Vice President of the Weet- length of 326 meters for local rec-;;'-
inghouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company, transmitted New Year's
greetings that were heard in many
lands from KDKA, thc pioneer broadcasting station of the Westinghouse
Company at East Pittsburgh. Pa.,
U.S.A.
For the first time in history' It was
possible by means of the spoken word
that such a message be sent to the
peoples of so many nations. This
marvelous achievement was made possible through radio broadcasting repeating. The message from KI/KA,
B.C., The Good Roads Province

tlon, was Bent out on a wavelength of
100 meters and was picked up, amplified, aud repeated by the Metropolitau-
Vtckers Electrical Company's radio
station at Manchester England and by
the Westinghouse repeating station at
llastiags, Nebraska, U.S.A.
Mr. Davis in his message said;
"That the means of communication
have been greatly advanced during
the past year is liily shown by ihe
fact that I am able to speak directly
to you, the great masses of population
of other nations across an intervening ocean. This achievement wlll
ultimately result In making America's
dally events known to you und your
every day happens known to us.
"A year ago such an achievement
seemed beyond belief. With such
advancement In the radio art an es-

j what developments will take place
before another New Year.
J "It Is a wonderful thing for tho

1 ables the peoples of one continent lo

i peoples of another continent,—for the

I closer understanding among the var-
< Ious peoples and in no way can dif-

I and become more closely in touch with
; each other than by Improved means of

Many Reasons From Many Users
If you were to ask the next fifty
Ford owners you meet why they
prefer Fords, you would get a
wide variety of answers.
Some would say, "Because they
seem never to wear out j" others
would answer, "Because they
cost so little." Many would reply
"Because I can get service anywhere;" and just as many,
"Because it is the only car I can
afford to own."
All would tell you, "Because they
master a bad road inany weather,"
a woman driver would respond,
"Because I can drive it so easily."
From the fleet-owners you would
hear, "Because I can buy two or
three or four Ford Trucks for the
price of one big truck.
Wherever you might inquire you
would hear expressed these basic
reasons why Ford predominates
—why, year after year, Ford sales
equal the total sales of all other
cars combined.

shipping industry. As the marine
engine was improved upon and developed, this commodity became
more and more in demand until it
became a necessity. Larger ships
were designed and operated than

ever before. Cabins were improved
upon, the sleeping bunks could be so
arranged as to ensure privacy lor

evolved
And sn the shipping world goes
on. Oil is nnw coming into its own.
The navies of the world are converting their older war ships into
oil burning vessels and designing
many of the additions to fleets for
the use of oil; and for some years
past the steamship companies of all
nations have been turning their attention te oil as well as lo coal supplies and resources.

HAIL, GENTLE SPRING
The miracle of Spring ls again at
hand aud happiness abounds tor most
of us, if only we wlll open our hearts
and invite her In. Hut humanity Is
all too, prone to grouch, lo grumble,
to complain, to rail al what lt terms
Injustice and evil fate.
Murder, vice, greed, provorty, sor-
row -these are abundant symptoms
of social disorder, but the world Is
gi.od and tiie Spring is at hand. Let
u.i wander alter the birds; let us go
lit search of blossoms.
'Ihere Is more health than of disease, more of comfort than of distress, more of beauty than of ugliness, more of kindness than of cruelty, more of laughter than of tears.
We live in the greatest age tho
world has known. Tho average man
In the street, with his present knowledge and experience, would have been
accepted us a god ln any other age.
We rend at night by the soft glow
of scientific sunlight; we go to the libraries and get the best the world affords in literature; we listen to tho
harmonies of the great masters reproduced by the phonographs In our
own homes; education ls ours for the
asking; we drink pure water drawn
from a faucet In the wall; we cat pure
foods put up In clean cartons and
brought to the kitchen door; we call
our [ilends through the telephone and
listen to eerie minstrelsy caught from
the wireless currents of the air; we
hnve learned much of the story of the
stars, the rocks and the flowers and
in this knowledge we receive a new
revelation of God.
And still we complain, Let
us turn to the beauty and fragrance
of the coming buds and blossoms Let
us start ln the morning and listen
for the song of the birds. Let us go
through the day to thc calm and solemnity of the twilight, with Its Invisible orchestral harmonies, on to
night, und thc dreams of night with Its
"sleep, that knits up the ravell'd
sleeve of care."
It ls a good world to live ln, and
through the brave pursuit of happiness we can make It ever and ever a
better world; for each houI that walks

guide to some other soul, who, lu

gets as large n fee for calling on a
patient and writing a prescription as
he would If he dispensed his own medicines. He has the advantage of hospital service for his more serious
cases, and in the beginning he can get
along without a private conveyance,
or nt most with a cheap runabout,
because his driving is only on paved
streets. He has more leisure at Ms
command, and also the advantage of
consultation when he desires it.
The country doctor Is a slave to his
profession. He must carry much in
the way of medicine. He is subject
io calls nt all times of the day and
night which necessitate long drives
over roads which sometimes are almost Impassable. His hours are |
long, and If he has any sort of practice, his life Is a strenuous one. Ilo
is dependent upon his own resources.
.Moreover, country practice lacks the |
glittering promise of great financial
success, although a liberal income and
an ultimute competence nre practically assured.
Despite the disadvantages attending country practice, It would appear
that the young doctors who shy away
from It are making a mistake. There
are other than financial rewards lu |
this life, and man., of these go to the
country doctor, lie ls assured of a j
commanding social position and of a i
lite of usefulness, which endears him
to hundreds of families. Ho faces
middle life and old age with the
knowledge thai the friendship, conli-'
deuce and love of his fellows, will be
his throughout a wide community;
that he wlll always be a welcome addition to any circle; that, he always
will be an honored guest at any fireside (Ireat wealth and wide fame
will not be his. but his comparative
financial and social standing will ho'
assured.

CITY COUNCIL HELD
A BUSY SESSION
1 COURTENAY.— Last Mondny night
the City Council held a regular rneet-
■ ing with the following members pre-
I .sent: The Mayor. Aldermen Fielder,
' Embleton. Pearse, Cooks, and Haft-
arty.
The reconnecting of the east and
west sides of the river water system,
replacing the hose that has been used
since thc washing out of the pipe line
ill thc river last autumn waa left in
abeyance.
The matter of extensions to the electric light line to Nob Hill, Comox, was
not discussed although lt was mentioned in meeting.
Two lots on Courtenay Avenue belonging to thc city were Bold to Mr.
Dnuncey .the purchase price being one
hundred dollars, to which Is added the
Increase In trades licenses for the
taxes for the current year.
A letter from .Mr. A. H. Lomas, Indian Agent, re a park site In the Indian Reserve was referred to a joint
committee of thc Board of Trade and
: City Council, who will report on the
subject.
Alderman Cooke brought before the
meeting tho proposal to widen Puntledge Avenue to allow free access to
traffic. Part of this road had been
fenced by Mr. Cokely who owned the
property. It was decided to follow
the original street line.
Mr, Charles Shannon, an enthusiastic worker on the comraittee.'haviiig
In hand the heautlficatlon of the school
grounds waited on thc council with a
request for the use of a team and
scraper for one day. The request was
granted.
A report of the city clerk showed an
first half of this year over thc same
period last year. In 1922 the amount
had been $565 and In 1923 the amount
collected had been $810. This showed a healthy growth In the business
'. section and there was no doubt that
the total receipts for the year will be
very substantially in excess of last
year.
The city constable was Instructed
to prepare a report re an open drain
on Anderton Avenue.
Mr. Spence Teed was appointed to
the position of road superintendent
by the committee of public works and
| will operate and have charge of tho
new truck, which it was stated is now
read., for use.
A discussion took place re the sat-
I ary of thc night policeman. Formerly the arrangement had been that the
1 council paid ten per cent, and the
, business houses the other ninety per
cent. It waB reported that some of
■ the business houses had refused further payments.
A report was submitted of the visit
of Mr. Johnson, of tho General Co.i-
structlon Company ln regard lo tha
■ paving of streets In the city. Mr.
I Johnson had gone Into the subject
very thoroughly and would return to
the city in the near future and bring
figures of the cost of such work, based
on his observations when here last
week.
ST. GEORGE'S DAY
TO BE CELEBRATED
COl'RTENAY,—A meeting of the St.

STREETS DISCUSSED
COURTENAY,-On Friday afternoon last a consultation was held b;
the mambers ot the city coucll and
business men of the city, with Mr.
J. Johnson, representative of the General Construction Company, of Vancouver, on the subject of the paving
of streets. This is a question that
has been In the minds of aldermen for
several years and is one that some
day will have to be solved. Mr.
Johnson went Into the subject very
exhaustively, advocating a road covering of asphalt concrete mainly because of Its economy and because of
Its wearing qualities. He cited a
portion of road ln the Point Orey section, where ln 1910 a mile of asphalt
had been laid and from that time not
one dollar had to be spent ln repairs. It will bt remembered that
last year there waa some talk of paving Union Bay Road and Union Street.
No action was taken but tho Information given by Mr. Johnson will be
rtry valuable when the time comes
to have the work done.

"COUGAR" SMITH
AND W. STEWART TO
HUNT PANTHER
COURTENAY.—Cecil, well known
as "Cougar" Smith, aud Ronald Stew,
art, Provincial Game Warden in Ihe
Comox District, left on Monday morning for Campbell River where they
will board the Steamer Princess Beatrice and proceed to Nimklsh River
to hunt panther under the direction of
the Provincial Game Board. The two
experienced hunters and trappers wlll
be away for at least a month. Cecil
is not strong on publicity, so the following paragraph taken from a dally
paper printed on May 26th, 1918 will
be interesting to residents of the district:
"The town residence of Sir Robert
Borwlek, at 16 Berkeley Square, West
London, will he adorned with a huge
cougar or mountain lion, a victim of
his unerring aim during his recent
shooting and hunting trip to Campbell
River, Vancouver Island. Sir Robert
who recently arrived here from Japan
on a tour of the world, returned Sunday from the north. He enjoyed splendid sport and Is enthusiastic about tha
Campbell River District as n sportsman's paradise.
"He was fortunate in securing the
services of "Cougar" Smith, a noted
local guide. With the nid of dogs a
femnle cougar wus finally treed and

shot. After a search next day her
three cubs were tracked and captured,
but not without a struggle as the little ones scratched and fought with
vigor. They were brought to Vancouver. Two of them have be:n pre- {
seated by Sir Robert to thc zoo in j
Stanley park while the third will bo.
given to Victoria. Sir Robert stated
that he never enjoyed better trout j
lishlng In all his life than he oxper-1
ienced at Campbell River. He added I
that this country's diversified attrac-j
tions have only to become known to
become the rendezvous of sportsmen '
rrom every clime. Sir Robert's guide
shot a black bear on the recent hunt".'
From the foregoing It will be noticed
that "Cougar" Smith has generally
beeu successful In bringing In his
quarry. It i-; a certainty that If there
aro as many panther in the Nimklsh
country as has been reported there
will be more honors fall to the lot of
Air. Smith as the result of his present
trip.

VALLEY FRUIT GROWERS
COURTENAY,—The second annual
general meeting of the Comox Valley
Fruitgrowers' Association was held
on Tuesday night at the Agricultural
Hall, and was fairly well attended.
It had been expected that representative of a Vancouver firm would have
been present to discuss with the meeting the disposition of the local output
this season. However a message had
been received In the morning stating
that lt would be Impossible for representatives for the firm mentioned lo
be present.
Mr. II P. Allberry took the chair,
and after stating the reason for holding the meeting suggested that the
election of officers he proceeded with.
This was acted upon with the results
that the following members will govern the association during 1924: President, D. Pattlson. Merville; Vice-President, Norman Prltchard, Comox;
Secretary-Treasurer, E. Felix Thomas
Directors: F. G. Llddle, J. Lupton, A.
E. Narroway, R. E. .lames and A. Macdonald.
Mr. PatUson, the newlly elected
president, then took the chair. On
motion of Mr. II. p. Allberry. seconded by Mr. W. J. Andrews, the
membership fee was set at one dollar
per year. Mr. Norman Prltchard
brought up the question of allowing
Orientals to become members of the
association and Mr. R. I.'. Hurford,
was ol the opinion that the admission
of Japanese growers to membership
would materially increase the volume
of fruit and make the acquisition of a
cannery much more likely. Air. William Duncan said thut be wus sure
the Coniox Creamery would do all lt
could to help the growers.
No concrete proposals were forthcoming from the members so on motion of Mr. Norman Prltchard, seconded by Mr. Mantle, it was decided thnt
the directors should meet the Creamery directors on Monday, the Mill Instant at nine o'clock p.m. with the
view of making necessary marketing
arningeiuents. [n reply to a question by Mr. R. E. James, the manager
of tiie creamery said there is still a
quantity of last season's product in
stock, but that as the season has arrived when stocks of this sort move
quickly, he was sure that the remainder on han dwould soon be disposed of.
.Mr. C. 1). Magglora, of the Gold
Star Bottling Works, addressed the
meeting on the manufacture of Loganberry juice and wine. Mr, Magglora showed a thorough knowledge
of the manufacture of wine but
thought lt would be hard to finance a
project of the kind at present owing
to the uncertain conditions prevailing.
.Mr. Hugh Stewart spoke optimistically
on the cultivation of Loganberries in
the B.C. coastal section but thought
the growers would do well to wait n
year or two when the subject could
be more thoroughly gone Into when
conditions would undoubtedly be better and the subject could probably
be taken up with the Liquor Control
Board.
At this point Mr. Norman Prltchard.
to get some action on the Japanese
question, moved tliat Japanese be eligible to Join the Coniox Valley Frail
Growers' Association. His motion
was seconded by Mr. Ed. Clark, and
much animated discussion took placa.
Mr. Merle Halllday was absolutely
opposed to anything of the kind. He
f urged the elimination of the Japanese
as members. .Mr. Kirby thought that
I if thc Japanese were admitted there
i soon would be no white growers.
Berries grown on swamp land by
Japanese would spoil the market.
The secretary said that the consumer
being the ultimate judge, would demand the best berries nnd that poor
quality fruit would realize a low
' price. Last season's experience bad
proved that. The matter was finally
i left to the directors for decision.

Practical, Durable, Always Ready on Land, Under
Water, Any Climate, Anywhere
The Klectro Automate ls an Electric Lamp made in France without a battery or refills, and of a new conception. It ls a perfect
machine; the result of yenrs of luBt ln the plants of the manufacturers ln Switzerland and France :: This marvellous little
pocket lamp, embodying simplicity, reliability and compactness,
weighs only 12 ounces. It Is putented in all countries.
The dynamo, with permanent magnet, based on new methods,
gives dense magnetic fields of perfect concentration, which surrounds the induction without loss of magnetic dispersion, and
permits the maximum exploitation of the energy.
Construction of these lamps Is very carefully carried out by
skilled Swiss slock aad scientific Instrument makers :: Electro
Automate Lamps art tight and dust-proof. They can be used
in all climates, Including equatorial regions. They will everywhere render the utmost service, giving n clear white light, without fear of the bulb burning out or the generator booming
warm.
All Electro Automate Lamps are guaranteed for six mouths, conditionally that they are not tampered with. With reasonable
care they will last for years. Any part can be renewed at slight
<ost. Lamps are provided with a pocket for extra bulbs.
ThlB lamp ls especially useful to travellers, tourists, marine and
mining engineers, automoblllsts, dairymen, in fact everybody.
They are indispensable on Ufc-bouts und rafts, where a light is
needed that will not be extinguished by wind or wave :: Every
mine should be provided with one or more of these lamps at Its
portal or entrance, for the convenience of the employee or oflicial
whose work takes him ln and nut of the mine at irregular intervals. It is the cheapest and best light on the market for this
purpose :: Marine engineers welcome Electro Automate ln their
engine room, lt saves them from the annoyance aud loss of
lime occasioned by tht unreliability of battery lamps when thty
wish to loctte trouble or find something ln a hurry :: Pilots are
favorable to these little lumps because they ure always standing
by ready aud able to do their part in any and all kinds of
weather. They ure hardy little fellows and will stand any
amount of knocking about, even to tbe bulbs, which are superior
to any others on the market :: .Mushers over the northern trails
take these lamps In preference to others, because they give a
never ending light and add less than a pound of weight to their
outfits. The winds can't blow them out and tbe snow or wet can
not short olroutt them.
DIRECTIONS
Tht working of this stlf-generallug lamp is vtry simple. Pull the
lever completely and sharply with the lingers and let go, allowing
it to open fully In order to take another tull stroke. strokes
should he even and sharp for best results. This lamp is the
only one of its weight that will give a perfect light. The hearings of this lamp should be oiled about onot a mouth.

BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES, CUMBERLAND, B. C.
Report and Accounts for the
year ended December 31,1923
FEBRUARY 14, 1924.
BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES
CUMBERLAND, B.C.
I beg to report that I have audited the accounts of the Board
of School Trustees, Cumberland, B.C., for the year ended December
31,1923.
I append hereto a statement of Receipts and Expenditures
for the year 1923, together with the corresponding statement for
the Night School, duly certified.
There is a balance in hand at December 31, 1923, of $3,738.33
on General Account and $107.35 on Night School Account. I
have assumed, for the purpose of the statements herewith, that
all accounts between the City and the Board were balancd up to
December 31,1922.
It has been the custom, hitherto, for the banking transactions
of the Board to be conducted through the City General Account,
but this is now being remedied, and a spearate account opened,
through which all the banking business of the Board of School
Trustees will, in the future, be transacted, as provided by the
Public Schools Act.
All outstanding accounts at December 31,. 1923, as far as I
am aware, have been included in the expenditures for 1923, with
the exception of a balance of $75.95, owing-on a pianoforte, purchased for school use, in the name of the principal. I understand
the teachers propose to discharge this liability.
In my opinion, the statement submitted herewith, sets forth
a true and correct statement of the treatment of the Board of
School Trustees for the year ended December 31, 1923, according
to the information and explanations given to me, and as shown by
the books and records.
