SEVEN GERMAN LINERS I
GO TO GREAT BRITAIN !
! Mr, and Sirs. James Dick left for
(Special Dispatch to The Inlander.) Alberni on Wednesday morning to
Washington, Dee. 26.—Seven former spend Christmas with Mrs. Dick's
German liners now held in New York parents.
With tin' exception of ono alderman, it looks as though the
members of this year's City Council will again be candidates in
the forthcoming civic elections. The one exception is Aid. James
Halliday, who authorizes the announcement that he will not seek
re-election. Aid. Halliday finds that his personal affairs will not
permit him to attend to the duties devolviing upon a member of the
City Council in the proper way, so he has decided to drop out.
At the conclusion of the regular meeting "of the council on
Monday night-the aldermen, with a couple of other men, remained
for a little "gossip."
"Your Worship," said one of the "outsiders," "is there any
foundation for the rumor that you are goinfe to seek re-election to
the position of chief magistrate?"
"Yes, it is altogether likely that I will again be a candidate. I
have been approached by several prominent citizens on the subject
with the request that I again enter the field, and although I have
not definitely decided, it is practically certain that I will be a candidate."
"How about you, Aid. Bannerman?" the enquirer asked.
"Well, to tell the truth, I had not thought very much about it,
but (addressing the mayor) if you are going to be at the head of
affairs again I believe I will have another go at it. We seemed to
have got along pretty well this year, and I don't see any reason
why we should not repeat."
When asked as to what his intentions were, Aid. Pickard replied: "0, I guess I will be in the field. In fact I will certainly be
a candidate if the Bolshevilris enter the contest, and I understand
they are going to put up candidates; in that case I will run again."
"How about you, Aid- Thomson?"
"It looks to me as though the whole of the old council is going
■ have another try at it, and I guess I will be among that number.
x is, I think I will try it again."
"And you, Aid. Banks.?"
"Well, I don't see that there would be much uso in any of us
lining. The Islander says the Veterans tire entering the field
tl are going to elect their men, so what is the use in its trj ing?"
. A hearty laugh from all present greeted this remark, afld
tl. Bank? remarked on the side that he would not "leave the
Vd."
Aid, Parnham, while joining in the conversation, did not
luchsafe any information as to his intentions, but the knowing
ik which he directed to the curious one left the impression that
would also be in the field for re-election.

IRELAND MUST ACCEPT
GOVERNMENT SCHEME
PREMIER OF GREAT BRITAIN WILL FORCE A ST TI; EMENT
OI' THE IRISH QUESTION—CERTAIN THAT NEW PLAN
WILL BE ENDORSED BY PARLIAMENT AND PEOPLE
OF IRELAND WILL BE COMPELLED TO ACCEPT IT AND
DO THEIR BEST TO ARRIVE AT A SETTLEMENT.
Special Dospntch In The Islander.
London, Dec 2b'.—-Ireland may have to accept the Premier's
new home rule plan as introduced in the House of Commons, it was
itated today by a high official of the government, who states the
Premier is prepared to force acceptance of his measure. The official
asserted the passage of the bill by Parliament is assured. Before
the measure was submitted, he added, Premier Lloyd George expressed his anxiety for the passage of some legislation which at
least will start a settlement of the Irish question, regarding this
problem as second in importance only to the winning of the war.
No definite statement can be made as to the altitude of Ireland
towards the new measure. Neither oi the factions have arrived
at a decision, and the result of the deliberations which* are now
being conducted by both the south and north of Ireland are anixj-
ously awaited here. General satisfaction, however, is expressed
at the attitude assumed by the Premier, and it is hoped that the
vexed Irish question will soon disappear. Lord Northcliffe is said
to be working hand-in-hand with Premier Lloyd George, and there
appears to be a feeling of optimism as to the result.

Special Despatch to The Islander.
Ottawa, Dec. 2G.—Preparations are being made for the opening
Parliament about the middle of February. This is the general
desire among members, expressed in a round robin to the government that the session should open as early as possible, with a view
to prorogation not later than May. The programme is not likely
lo be heavy.
Lord Jellieoe has intimated to tlie government that his report
on the proposed Canadian naval policy will probably be ready by
next week. It is, however, unlikely,, especially with Premier Borden absent, that any ambitious scheme will be laid before the
House.
Whether legislation will be submitted to carry into effect the
main conventions adopted at the international labor conference
will largely depend on the ruling of the justice department upon
the question of jurisdiction. A curious legal tangle has arisen and
there is doubt whether the convention adopted by the international
labor conference at Washington is valid. Tha conference was
called under the auspices of the League of Nations,-but until tho
treaty of Versailles is formally ratified and comes into force the
league itself does not exist. To meet the situation the governing
body of the international labor office has been authorized to reconvene the confereni ither ai Paris or London if il is con iid irod
necessary after the formal ratification of the treaty.

amusement. Those having gifts on the

Quite a spectacular effect was produced by the novel arrangement providing moonlight dances Tlie various

scene.
After supper had been served, dancing waxed fast and furious, tho orchestra being bombarded for encores.

Gladys Leslie, Vitagraph star
of on every individual, the two are at a
rare versatility and famous for her loss. Both have a keen sense of duty
sunshine eyes and "million dollar toward 'he nation, but they are totally
unfitted for real service. Genevieve,
the girl, goes to a farm to work, but
to
smile," Ir a New York girl who rose
fame with Vitagraph. She is especially
effective in roleB of youth, In which
her-irrepressible nature radiates the
very Joy of living.
Miss Leslie was graduated from the
Washington Irving High School and
Columbia University and turned at
once to photoplay. She filled brief engagements with the Edison and Than-
houser companies and then was seen
in several Important features on the
Pathe programme. She attracted special attention by her work In thc role
of Sophia in "The Vicar of Wakefield"
and then was engaged by Albert E.
Smith, president of Vitagraph, to star
ln features.
Highest praise was accorded her
for her characterization of the role of
an Irish lassie ln "His Own People"
and "The Little Runaway," ar.d she
also registered most effectively In
"Wild Primrose," "A Nymph of the
Foothills," "The Mating," "Thc Beloved Impostor" and "Fortune's
Child."
She has a role of special appeal In
"Miss Dulcie from Dixie," adapted
from the widely-read novel of the same
name by Lulah Ilagsdale. and which
' 'will be seen at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre tonight. She Is a little Southern ;;irl who
invadeB the hostile atmosphere ol a
Northern uncle's home lo cement u
friendship broken by thc Civil War.
She not only accomplishes thin mission, but wins the man of her choice
against great odds, and a fortune.
The picture was directed by Joseph
Gleason, and tu the supporting casl arc
Charles Kent, Arthur Donaldson, .las.
Morrison and Julia Swayne Gordon.

Vivian Martin, who appears at the
Ilo-Ilo Theatre next Monday in "Little
Comrade," In an Interesting Interview
tells the story of how she became an
actress. She says:
My appearance on the professional
stage was almost as humorous as It
was abrupt. Long before I reached the
age when children cease to write letters to Santa Claus, I played small
parts In church entertainments, many
of which had been written by theatrical friends of my parents. I became
quite famous ln my little town as a
child-actress.
While in the midst of a Sunday
school recitation, one morning, my
mother ran* into the room waving a
telegram and disregarding all class
regulations, rushed me from the place.
"Mr. Frohman has sent for you.
You are to become a regular actress,"
vas all that I could ascertain on my
iasty trip homeward. While tbe maid
was scouring my face with detestable
soap, that got Into my eyes, mother
read to me the telegram which had
caused all the excitement. It was from
Charles Frohman's ollice in New York,
and requested that I leave immediately
to play the title role of "Peter Pan."
Everything seemed to go wrong that
day. In sewing a newly discovered
rent of my dress, the maid ran thc
needle Into her finger and spotted thc
pride of my wardrobe just where It
was most conspicuous.
' During our trip to the depot n
fierce thunder storm set In, which Is
not the most comfortable thing to
happen—especially when one is riding
in an open gig. Dripping wet, we arrived at the station, only to learn that
the train left on time, and that we were
Just late enough to miss it. In lieu of
the two hours wait that was In store
for us, we drove back to the house
and proceeded to dress all over again.
Back to'the station we went, but es
I leaped from the gig and at tbe same
time Into a little puddle of mud caused
by the shower, I not only succeeded in
bespattering my new while stockings
and dress, but also the snow white
dross of my mother, who resigned
herself to fate and refused to do anything more than sit quietly In the sta-
. tion and wait for tho Incoming train,
regardless of appearances. As I think
back to that day, 1 often laugh, as
does my mother, but, ncedloss to say,
neither of us laughed much at the
time.
After this series of mishaps, we
finally secured our train and arrived
at the Frohman oftice, after many
mlleB of wearisome travel. However,
all ended well, for 1 was engaged Immediately, and met with instantaneous
success. Now I am in motion tyctureB
for Paramount, and Bincerely hope the
public enjoys them as much as I do ln
the making of ihem.
"Little Comrade," the new Paramount picture in which I appear, Is a
comedy-drama of timely interest. The
picture, which was made from a story
by Juliet Wllbor Tompkins, deals with
the troubles of a girl and a boy who
are both unfortunate enough to have
been the youngest In their respective
families.
When war comes, with Its demands
the hardships sap all her strength,
md she almost gives up. Tbe boy is
drafted and hates the training camp
ao thoroughly that he ls tempted to
lesert. He decides against this, but
makes up his mind to have one look
.it lib home. He steals a\vay from
camp, and goes to Ills home, which Is
the fiirm on which Genevieve ls working. He meets her there In the potato
patch she haR been hoeing, and they
txchange confidences,
Many complications follow, but the
two stick In their posts like good soldiers, and in Ihe course of time they
overcome "the disease of being the
youngest," and win the rs>speet of
itliers. us well as re-establish (heir
own Belt-respect,
Although laid in wur lime, "Little
Comrade" is not a war story.
That ought to please. Don't you
think so?

The distinguished Polish dramatic
artist, Madame Pelrova, who will appear at Ihe Ilo-Ilo Theatre next Tuesday In the lirst of the starring vehicles hearing the stamp of her own organization, gave an Interesting dissertation recently regarding the much
abused word "repression." The noted
actress, who appeared In many important dramatic roles on the speaking stage before her entrance into the
realm of pictures, takes issue with several of her critics who have described
her actling at various times as "too
repressed and lacking fire."
"During the considerable length of
time covering my screen career, it has
been my lot to Invoke the Ire of certain critics who have gone to some
lengths to point out the "coldness" of
my art. In various pictures I have
heen accused of lacking the dramatic
Intensity and "fire" which tbey consider necessary for the portrayal of
certain characters. My stage training,
secured in one of the finest schools of
expression in tho world, the Polish
Theatre, involved an intensive study
of the human emotions so constantly
employed in stage and screen work. I
have been taught that it is not necessary to resort to extravagant gestures
In order to depict anger, passion, love
or various other emotions which actuate human Impulses. On the contrary,
It has been proven, particularly In
screen depiction, that the most convincing points may be "registered" by
a single gesture of the head or an expression of-the eye.
What certain of our critics mistake
for "coldness" Is simply an overwean-
ing desire on my part to nppcar na
tural. They forget that the greatest
moments In every-day life ore always
devoid of the excitement and sensationalism too often injected into the
same situations when visualized on
the screen. The true art of interpretation on stage or screen is to be natural
at all times and I am more than willing to bear the brunt of critical disfavor in Order to carry out that ideal
to its fullest extent.
When the occasion demands, whether it be in real or "reel" life, I am
fully capable of rising to the heights
of dramatic Intensity required of the
existent situation. Until then, I am
content to offer In my present starring
vehicles what I consider to be the type
of woman met with In the walks of
every-day life. In the Anal analysis,
the verdict of popular approval rests
with the great motion picture public
and thus far my so-called "coldness"
his failed to lessen In any noticeable
degree their appreciation of my efforts.
The through water route between
.Montreal and Fort William and Port
Arthur has a length of 1229 miles, of
which 11 nr, miles consist of river and
lake waters, and 74 miles of canals,

IS A WORKMAN WORTHY OF HIS HIRE?
One of the fundamental principles which
should govern the social system of this world is
that (he man who is willing to; and who does,
work faithfully and earnestly is in return en-
I I led to a decent living, not only for himself but
tor those dependent upon him. If such is not the
case, then there would be no sense in a man
wasting his time at work, because without work
he would get some kind of a living—not a decent
on" it i.i hue—but a living of i.nme sort. It is,
however, incumbent upon every man that he
should do something tn entitle him to a living in
i Ian world, anad when he performs his work well
In' is entitled to the full reward for his toil, and
that is a living of the standard commensurate
with his position and something to lay by for the
proverbial rainy day when his physical capabili
lies will not permit him to work any more.
That the peoples of all countries recognize this
principle with regard to the lower animals is
well known. Those who have to depend upon the
horse to assist them in their work recognize the
lad that if they wish to get the proper amount of
work out of the horse and at the samo time not
reduce his standard of value tiny must feed and
care for him in such a manner that he will be
able to perform the duties devolving upon him.
Why, then, should not the sam: principle be applied to man ? We are firmly of the opinion that
if a man's labor is worth having at all it is worth
paying for, and at a rate sufficient to enable that
man to live as all men should. If the work performed is not worth the price asked, then the
man should be engaged in some other capacity
where the results obtained from his labor would
justify giving him an amount sufficient to ensure
' both him and his dependents a decent living.
This line of thought was induced by the application of Ihe public school teachers for an increase in their salaries, which was made to the
Board of School Trustees at their last meeting.
In view of the present cost of living, and also the
salaries and wages paid for work performed in
other walks of life in this city and district, we
must say that the teachers are very modest in
their demands—far too modest; because even
with the increase asked they will not by any
means have the same standard of living which
they enjoyed before the cost of living began to
aviate. It has been shown by government figures
that on the average the cost of living has advanced at least 75 per cent during the past four
year:;, and in order that those who work for
wages may enjoy the same standard of living as
prior to the increase their wages must be advanced. A man does not require a great amount
of "book learning" to understand that. We are
not advocating the increase of wages as a
panacea for the evil of high prices which has
come over the world of late, because to our mind
the system of bringing wages up to meet the
cost of living resembles very much the performance of a clog chasing his tail. Once in a while
the head may reach the tail, but the latter is very
elusive and before the head becomes aware of it
it is again out of reach. The only solution to the
cost of living question is for those in authority
to enact legislation and enforce it whereby the
ftlibusterers and profiteers will be brought under
control or driven out of business altogether.
That, however, was not the question which we
started out to discuss, the application of the
school teachers for increased salaries being.the
subject. The question is: Are the school teachers entitled lo more? Are they entitled to a de-
cenl living wage? If Ihey are, then there is no
good reason which can be advanced why they
should not receive it. If the work which they
perform for the public is not worth any more
than I ley are receiving, then they should not be
retained on the pay roll, and should be replaced
by others whose work will be of such a standard
lhal Ihe School Board would feel justified in pur-
chaslng at ,i decent living wage.
However, iu order to support the argument
lhal Ihe work performed by the Cumberland
school teachers is not worth what is being asked
it will be necessary to show that the standard of
abality of school teachers all over the country is
too low, because it is well known that the public
schools of this city are at least equal if hot above
ihe standard of the Dominion. Such being the
case, we fail to see how the School Board can
very well evade their responsibility in the matter
and grant the most reasonable request of the
teachers. „.
When engaging teachers, bjjth the School
Hoard and the government demand that their
education be of a sufficiently high standard to
enable them to educate the youth of the land in
the proper manner, In making such a demand
it must not be forgotten that it costs money and
takes time to acquire an education of a high
order, and it is beyond all reason to expect that
thc teachers should generously waive their right
o consideration on this score. Their knowledge
is their stock in trade, and unless they can realize upon that stock they will be compelled to go
mt of business- We are quite aware that comparisons are usually odious, but we hope to be
pardoned for drawing this one. During the coming year the School Board will have to build a
tew school to accommodate the number of chil-
Iren to be educated. They will find that those
who supply the material as well as those who do
:he work of building that school will demand a
:ertain price, and unless the School Board is
content to pay that price they will not get a new
•chool. The School Board knows that from past
jxperience and they will not doubt be prepared
to pay. Why, then, should not the teachers have
he same right to place a price upon their stock
n trade as docs the merchant or builder? If the
manufacturers of lumber and hardware are permitted to place their price upon their commodities and refuse to dispose of them for less than a
dated figure, why should not the school teachers I
be allowed to do the same? For our part we can
lee no good reason.
We are all anxious that our children should be
given the best possible education that a public
ichool can afford, and we should be williing to
make the position- of teacher sufficiently attractive from a monetary standpoint to induce capable instructors to .continue to perform the very
necessary work devolving upon a good tutor.
MAKING GOOD RESOLUTIONS.
Time was, and not so very long ago, when it
was a custom among a great many people to
make resolutions at the commencement of a new
year, and the most of them were to the effect
that those making them would climb on the
water wagon and remain there for a certain
length of time. There were some—but not very
many—who lived up to their resolution, and
they received the congratulations of their friends
for doing so. However, in the eyes of the law at
least, there should be no necessity of making any
such resolutions at the approach of 1920, because
the prohibitionists have seen to it that the water
cart is about the only vehicle of that nature that
is allowed to meander through the country.
Resolutions with regard to placing restrictions
on the patronage of the "flowing bowl" were,
however, somewhat selfish; those who made the
resolutions did so purely for their own sake; they
thought they would be better without "it," and so
made their resolve. They were to be admired for
even that, but how much more would we all be
sntitled to the encomiums of our fellow men if
we earnestly resolved at this season of the year
that for one year at least we would do our best to
make the world a better and happier place in
which to live? Why not make the resolution
that we will consider it our duty to ferret out all
deserving cases where assistance is required,
both in a financial and sympathetic manner, and
to see that all such wants are supplied ? There
are in every community a certain number of unfortunates who need assistance and to whom a
kindly helping hand will mean much. Why not
make the resolve that such deserving cases will
be relieved ?
It is out of the question to mention names in
this connection, but it has been drawn to the attention of The Islander that there are several
just such cases in our midst. In most of the
cases referred to the straitened circumstances of
the unfortunates are the result of misfortunes
over which they had no control. It therefore behooves those who are blessed with a goodly share
of this world's goods to see that such deserving
cases are not allowed to go unheeded. We are
sure that all that is necessary is to mention the
fact and the matter will be attended io in a mo st
generous manner.
If the Allies would only treat the Turkey over
which the Sultan rules in a manner similar to
that in which the youth of this land handled its
tamesake Thursday it would not be long before
Lhe Near East and Armenian questions were
settled-
For a nation which has for years had the
reputation of heing ardent advocates of the unrestricted use of beer, the action of the Germans in
lelaying so long in the . signing of the peace
treaty is somewhat of a mystery to the average
man.
While they are in the habit of making reservations, might it not be a good thing for the peoplo
of the United States to reserve the whole of next
year to the discovery of the location of the bee
that is just now inhabiting their bonnet ?
The man who predicted that the world would
be hit by a comet and bm^t^up between the
17th and 20th of this montj^hould have paid a
visit to this district during that time and he
would have discovered why it would have been
impossible for even a burning comet to start a
blaze.
If the year 1920 turns out no better than its
predecessor there is no reason for going into |
ecstacies over its advent.

GEORGE ROSS MADE
JACKIE ROBERTS QUIT
ADVANCING YEARS COMPELLED TO GIVE WAY BEFORE
YOUTH—MERVILLE MAN FOUGHT GAMELY BUT WAS
UNABLE TO .STAND THE PACE YOUNG MITCHELL
OF BEVAN MAKES GOOD SHOWING AGAINST FAST
VANCOUVER BOXER, WHO IN SECOND BOUT PROVES
TOO MUCH FOR BENNY REESE—SMALL CROWD.
WHATEVER doubts that may have existed in the minds of
the boxing fans as to which was the better man were entirely dispelled on Saturday night, when George Ross of
Vancouver forced Jackie Roberts of Merville to quit after the sixth
round in their bout, which wa*3 scheduled to go twelve rounds.
From the moment time was first called there was very little to the
mill that was not in favor of Ross, and it was quite apparent that
if the Marquis of Queensberry rules had been strictly followed the
bout would have finished sooner than it did, because in each of the
rounds fought it apparently took Roberts all his time to stay the
two minutes, so that if three minutes had been allowed for each
round, which is according to Queensberry rules, it is doubtful if
the go would have lasted more than three rounds, if that long.
No explanation was given why the length of the rounds was
curtailed, but wisdom was shown in making the change; there was
a fairly good crowd present and they were entitled to a fair return
for their money, and this was apparently the only means by which
they could get it. As before stated, Ross had the better of the
argument from the commencement, yet Roberts put up a game
fight, and at times displayed bursts of brilliant fighting which
brought rounds of applause from his many friends.
Four of the six rounds fought were decidedly in favor of Ross,
while in the other two he might have had a slight advantage, although impartial judges would probably have called them even.
Before the finish of the fifth round Roberts was showing signs of
distress and many at the ringside thought he would not be able to
last another. He, however, succeeded ih weathering the storm for
another period, but when time was called for the seventh, Roberts
walked to the centre of the ring and offered Ross his hand, thereby
declaring that he was vanquished.
Ross has improved greatly since his last exhibition here, and
he followed different tactics this time; he kept putting in heavy
blows to the stomach, which eventually had the desired effect, and
Roberts did not appear to be able to protect this part of his anatomy. After the contest those within hearing at the ringside
agreed with Roberts that age cannot stand before youth, and this
remark tells the whole tale of Saturday night's bout.
It was unfortunate for the sport in this district that the full
distance was not gone over, because this is the second time in a
row that the stellar attraction at these exhibitions has been
brought to an unexpected termination by one of the contestants
quitting, yet it must be admitted that in both cases those who did
stop showed their wisdom.
Fast Preliminaries.
There were two preliminaries staged and in both good sport
was provided. Joe Farrel, Ross' sparring partner, appeared in
both. And right here it may be said that the same Mr. Farrel is
one of the niftiest little boxers that has visited the neck of the
woods for many a long day- He is as quick as chain lightning and
he has some wallop to boot. It had been advertised that Benny
Reese would go against Farrel for six rounds, but instead a young
man from Bevan named Mitchell went on for the first three rounds.
It was hardly to be expected that an inexperienced lad would be
, able to make much of a showing against a seasoned fighter of
Farrel's class, but Mitchell surprised his most ardent admirers by
the manner in which he handled himself in the ring and his splen-
, did display of gameness. The lad does not lack courage, and if one
may judge by what he showed on Saturday night, Young Mitchell
will yet be heard of as figuring prominently in the ring.
The second three rounds between Farrel and Denny Reese
created a great deal of excitement, but it was soon apparnt that
. the Vancouver lad was much the better man. Reese fought gamely
at times, but he was much too prone to hug the corner, and Farrel
: on several occasions was compelled to back out into the centre of
' the ring in order to give the audience a show of seeing a boxing
, contest.
The decision of the referee in the first three rounds was a
' draw, while at the end of the second he held up Farrel's hand,
giving him the contest. <
For the preliminaries, Mr. William Heard of Bevan acted as
referee, while for the main bout, Mr. G. O'Brien officiated.
It must, however, bo said that the promoters of boxing in this
city were not accorded the support to which they were entitled, nor
even to the extent to which they had every reason to expect. On
the surface there appeared to be a general desire for a return
'match between Ross and Roberts and the promoters incurred con-
' siderable expense in arranging it. They were therefore entitled

Ross proved his ability to whip
Jackie Roberts last Saturday night.
Jackie only showed his form in one
round, but after the fourth It was only
a question of how long.

Ross enme from his corner stronger
every round and his right-handed
punching to the body won him the
bout.

Some of the boys are pretty sore al
Jackie for quitting, but the matter of
a man quitting when he is able to walk
to his corner is one of opinion. Some
of Roberts' best friends are lost to him
on Saturday night's show.

The house was rotten, but the bout

Rowan's Wobblies Turn the Trick on the League Leaders l>\ a

Rowan's Wobbling Midgets were able to meander lu a sufficiently straight

uut the league feaders by live points. Tlie game was fast, hard and cleanly
contested. The Wobblies scored the first l.asket. Bevan then ran three in a
row, and all through the game there was only a matter of a point or two between the teams.
Walker, Conti and Dekonlck were the main goal getters for Ihe Wobblies,
Walker scoring ten points, Conti nine and Dekonlck six.. Bannerman, Armstrong and Lapsansky were the Huskies' best at forward. Westfield at guard
for the Huskies played a fine game, while the stellar work of Hunden aud
Williams at guard for the Wobblies was the main factor in Bevan's defeat.
Gus Lapsansky substituted for T. Armstrong, as did Benale Reese for Dekonlck.

plant. The fact that different oat plants
taken from a field may differ very considerably in practical value, and may
mark the starting point of new and
superior races or "straine," provides
an attractive opportunity to engage
in a most interesting and promising
line of investigation. Such a study In
rural schools, moreover, should help
to arouse a new Interest in farming
and in farm life by demonstrating,
among other things, that more prot-
iible varieties are often obtainable
right at our doors
According to tho comprehensive report just issued by the commission of
conservation on the water powers of
Uritish Columbia, it is estimated that
3,000,000 twenty-four-hour horse power may bo doveloped from the waters
of the province. This estimate is, admittedly not conclusive and. may be
misleading, especially if comimrei:
with other totals where "no real baste
ol' comparison has heen established."
The mountain systems,-glaciers, snow
fields and widely variant precipitation
make the power question in British
Columbia un unique one and render
difficult comparisons with other provinces. There .are already nbout 2;iiJ,u.)fl
horse power developed, also estimated
on a twenty-four-hour basis. For
various reasons a number of the possibilities on such rivers as the Fraser.

he economically developed undei
present conditions. Moreover, it wat
not possible to make adequate estimates of the power potentialities of
the more northerly portions of the
province. As the country becomes
more developed considerable additional
power may be found to be available
The author of tbe report, Mr. Arthui
V. White, deals Tully with the relationship between water as a source of
power and its use for domestic and
municipal supply, agriculture, irrigation, navigation, fisheries, mining, forestry nnd raparian rights. These problems are too frequently neglected in
surveys of water powers. The development of the country's natural resources can best be carried on when each
of them ls given single resource such
as water power, or the soil, or the
forests to the exclusion of all others.
They are naturally interdependent.
Basis of Estlnuite.
As every engineer knows, it is ne-
cessnry to obtain records of stream
flow, precipitation and natural storage
for a period of years to arrive at
average conditions, hefore attempting
to estimate the amount of potential
power. Power possibilities at present
must be based on the minimum flow
of streams. In many instances, however, artificial storage may be used
economically and perform a double
function of reducing floods and increasing the amount of available
power.
Tbe report deals at length with historical aspects of water legislation In
British Columbia. A useful feature Is
tbe chronological key to water legislation in British Columbia from 1858 to
1917, The chapter devoted to power developments discusses tbe subject from
nn historical standpoint which adds
materially to its value and Interest.
Detailed descriptions are given of
the topographical features on the
larger watersheds, such as the C'olum
bin and Fraser and Mackenzie river
systems, Vancouver Island and mainland Pacific Coast
A large amount of stream flow data
hns heen assembled and carefully analyzed. Meteorological data has been
compiled with similar care, a feature
that adds much to the value of the report from a technical standpoint.
A convenient set of hydraulic conversion tables as well as a list ol
! enchtnarks on the Vancouver island
and Pacific Mainland Coasts are given
In the appendices. As a work for reference purposes the report is greatly enhanced by the inclusion of a full bibliography and an Index.
While relating particularly to Brit-
Mi Columbia, tbls publication presents
a thorough examination of the economic, legal and other problems common to the efficient development of
water resources throughout the Do

Light Bills |
for the months of OctoUr and November remember S
the following facts: §§
1. There are three times as many hours requiring H
artificial light in winter as in summer. ||
2. Previous to daylight saving the average daily B
hours of use of electric light in residences during Oc- H
tober were 4 hours and 50 minutes. HI
3. The average use during November was 6 hours g|
and 10 minutes: =
4. The repeal of the Daylight Saving therefore added M
another hour each day to the normal increase of No- |j

THE CROWN OF THE YEAR
WAS MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS
Children of the United Sunday Schools of Grace Methodist and St.
George's Presbyterian Churches Display Sple.tdid Talent as
Entertainers—Delightful Finish to a Very Merry Christmas
in Which Most of the Children of the City Took Part.
The children of Ihe Sunday Schools of Grace: Methodist and
St. George's Presbyterian churches'have every reason to be proud
of the manner in which they entertained their friends on Christmfes
llight, when they staged in a splendid maimer the cantata "The
Crown of the Year" in the Methodist Church- The performance
throughout was of a very high order and reflected the greatest
credit upon these charged with the, task of training the children,
principal of whom was Mr. Charles O'Brien.
Where all the performers did SO well it is a difficult matter to
single out any one for special mention, but Master Robert Richardson as "Tommy" deserves mere than passing notice. This lad
displayed considerable histrionic ability and was in a great measure responsible for the success of the evening. Mi is Ellen Clarke
as "June" almost succeeded in convincing everyone, thai she was
entitled to the crown, but the author of the cantata decreed otherwise. But while she did not succeed in winning the prize, Miss
Clarke may have tlle satisfaction of knowing that she succeeded in
singing her way into Ihe hearts of the audience.
Prior to the cantata a short programme was n ndered. Mr. W.
II. Youhill was chairman and opened thc programme wilh a few
remarks in which he wished the audience the compliments of tin'
season. Mr. Chris Edwards then rendered as an organ solo the
overture to "Poet and Peasant" for which he received much applause. Rev. Mr, Knox address ed a tew happy remarks and
wound up with a couple of good stories. Mrs. McLeod gave.a
splendid exhibition of club swinging, and Mr. Charles O'Brien delighted the little ones with his humorous selections, Mr. T. West-
well showed that he can bring swoet music out of a concertena, and
the evening's programme was brought to a close-by Rev. Mr. Hood,
who axprcived the appreciation of the united chinches of thc efforts of those responsible for the success of the evening.
Following is the cast of characters in the cantata:
