Canada will this week offer its glad hand. oi. welcome to Lord Byng of Vimy and Lady Byng The new Governor-General will be met at Quebec by Premier Meighen and members ot his cabinet while a salute of 19 guns will be fired from the citadel. " Lord Byng will then be officially sworn into office, and will then repair to the Government House where he will be the guest of honor at a state dinner. The new representative of His' Majesty should prove just as popular with the people of Canada as he did with our gallant sons who served under him during the war, and he has intimated that he is looking forward with eagerness to again meeting some of his old comrades. Lord Byng has had an enviable career in the army and his genial personality is bound to radiate wherever he goes. It is hardly likely .that he will make his first official visit to the coast-before, the Spring of next year, but whenever he selects to be our guest, he is assured of a warm loyal welcome. Some time ago a committee of Vancouver- ites 'journeyed to Victoria for the purpose of "appealing to the Hon. John Oliver, to provide funds for the completion of the University of British Columbia. In turning down the request in. his own affable way, the premier voiced the opinion that the ratepayers of Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, wore apparently very little interested in education, when they had repeatedly turned down money by-laws for school, purposes. Be this as if may, but is. this a sufficiently strong argument for the government" to raise, as an excuse to discontinue the building of the university? Educational facilities are the greatest asset any community can have, and it is humiliating for Canadians to be forced to accept the offer of the University of Oregon which has thrown open its doors to the overflow of B. C. university students. Patriotism alone, if nothing- else, should be a strong enough cause, for the premier to see the light, and go ahead with ���������our own university buildings, in order that our younger generation may finish their education at home, in Canadian halls of learning, 'instead of being .forced to accept, the hospitality of a foreign country. Various methods are being used by the manufacturers of the province to induce the public to purchase Made in B. C. goods in preference to outside products. Chief of these, are the exhibits of British Columbia products that have been shown in various cities and towns during the past.few months, and the car of manufactures that is being taken through the interior for demonstration purposes at the present time. Both systems are to : be. commended but the weakest spot in the whole scheme for advertising B. C. products to the consumer is the propaganda that is' being issued by the Manufacturers' bureau of the Vancouver Board of Trade for insertion in the newspapers throughout the province. This news service, which is issued regularly, 1 has been compiled .apparently for the benefit of the daily papers only, and as the majority of the items contained in the news letters are of little interest to the average consumer, there is no doubt that a large proportion of the sheets sent out, eventually find their way to the W. P. B. of the editors of the weekly papers. From the standpoint of the weekly papers, the items contained in this news letter or service, cease to be news by the time it reaches the editor's desk, and besides being of little interest, the most of it would not make good "fillers.." While there is no doubt but what publicity is the greatest factor in the promotion of business today, it is logical to suggest to the manufacturers, that low prices and good quality will have a more direct influence on the consumer toward persuading him to buy goods manufactured within the province, than all the news letters that the Vancouver Board of Trade committee can compile. The policy of buying home products is undoubtedly good business on the part of the manufacturers,'but'history has shown that it is a hard matter to educate the people to buy products made at home at such a price when for a lower cost they can purchase goods made outside the province. The same effort was made in the Province of Ontario a few years back and.with very excellent results. There the manufacturers did not depend on poorly written news notes to .drive home "t?>* fact that Ontario made goods were just as good if not better than those produced elsewhere, but the people all over Ontario were brought face to face with the buy at home made products through the medium of well written advertisements thait appeared week after week in every paper in the Province both daily and weekly. This direct advertising, while costly no doubt reached all the people, and not just a few residents of the cities, for the people outside the cities are buying goods as well as those living within the realms of commercial activity.- A few weeks ago this paper agreed with with Premier Oliver that the administration of the liquor, act was not in the hands of the best administration that the province could give and lamented the fact 'that.-the newspapers, were not giving the new liquor act the support that the' honorable premier expected. But what we said was' mild to the following which is taken from the Enderby Commoner, and reads as-follows: In a public speech made one day last week. Premier Oliver is reported to have complained somewhat, bitterly of the lack of support the newspapers of the Province are giving to the ���������Moderation Law, and-stating that if the law. proves a failure, the responsibility will,rest upon the newspapers and not upon the government. This seems a surprising statement for the Premier to make. ������������������ Undoubtedly the successful operation of the Moderation Act in the estimation of the Government-must be measured by the amount of profit the government liquor stores turn in to the provincial treasury. This means that the more booze the people of the Province drink the greater will "be the success of the .government liquor stores. Let's bavc an understanding of the operation of this Moderation /Vet, then we shall sec how near right Premier Oliver is in his statement that the press of flwe Province is'not giving the liquor law the support it should. , Booze is manufactured by privately-owned distilleries, operated for- private gain���������and big gain. .It" make's no difference to the distillers who sells their product; the government store or over the bar of the hotel keeper; it is sold at a profit in either case. The liquor "store, in turn, retails the booze in a bottle' at a profit���������and a big profit. Get this clearly in your mind. Every turnover of the booze is at a profit���������and a big" profit���������to somebody. In the past three or four years the liquor industry has had more free jmb'lcity in the n'ewspapers than any other industry, and is still receiving it, baited up by a government that has frankly' admitted it is in the liquor business to "make a profit.- We. read the newspapers of the Province, ;ahd; fail to see wherein they-are--w^hholdihg-.-supiJbrt" to the government for'the/Moderation. Act��������� as a law���������bue'not asa booze-vending'proposit- ion at a profit. ' There is a vast difference between what constitutes support of a law and the boosting of an enterprise that is' in business to make^ a turn-over of booze at a profit. If this is the.kind of publicity Premier Oliver is after for his Moderation, measure, he will have to pay for it the same'.as anyone else in business at a profit. And he can spare himself the effort to shift the: responsibility for the enforcement of the liquor act and the success of the liquor stores.' : Perhaps the support of the newspapers is essential, as Premier Oliver ylutes, but in this connection, so is a supply of booze essential to the enforcement of the act--and the Government has to buy its stock of booze���������at a profit to the manufacturer���������so that it may sell it���������at a profit���������to the individual. When the Government is prepared to give its boozo to the individual free of charge no doubt the newspapers will then give the Government free publicity to encourage support for the Government liquor stores. New York umbrella-makers' who have been hard by the dry season purpose negotiating with "Rain maker" Hatfield to establish rainmaking plants throughout the country. ���������Vancouver Province. The hint may be all right from the Province to the people of Vancouver, but with a liquor store in'Mission City and one in Abbotsford, there is little need of a rainmaker in this neck of tiie woods in order Lo keep it wet. An enterprising outside man for a local taxi firm pulled a good one on his opposition at the C. P. R. station, at Mission City recently, When a prosperous looking 'gentleman stepped off the morning train, all the taxi men were hot after him as a fare. , He-passed-them all up until he reached the keen witted one, who got his business by crying out "Free taxi to the'Government Liquor Store." A movement is.on foot .to."have a photographed copy of, the resolution drawn up in -the handwriting of the Hon. John Oliver, re the "Nicomen Island dyke, presented to the British Columbia Legislature to be hung a- long side of the Belgium neutrality pact and other "scraps of paper." San Francisco harbor men were successful last week in pulling a bark from the Beach. But it would take a lot of pulling on the part of B. C. people to pull Oliver from the plow. Would you call on a busy man at his office, send-in your card, and then, when he had indicated that he could see you, keep him waiting while you finished reading a magazine in his outer office? , . ,".

LOVELY LAKE WINDERMER urr Lake Windermere district, ju^t west of the Canadian Rockies, seems well on the way to become one of the most popular summer resortt in British Columbia-, or in fact Western Canada. It lies in a Valley, the stillness of which had not been broken by the sound- of a locomotive until live years ago, like some beautiful thing slumbering and knowing nothing but a few scattered settlements. Fort Kootenay, it is true was constructed as far "back 'as-. 1807, but ��������� David Thompson, the explorer; who built that fort, could foresee no more than the Indians with whom he . traded what the Valley could give to mankind. The Kootenay Trail, commonly known as the Old Whiskey Trail ran from Fort Steele to Windermere, then across the Rockies by way of the Sinclair Canyon and the Kootenay River to the construction gangs of the Canadian Pa .-if it- Railway. ' Whiskey, of course, was? contraband in those days, and the trail resulted in much profit to H-������' bootleggers. R. Randolph Bruce, C.L., r'.RAi.b., cf Invermerc, saw the possibilities of this highway, he knew it was time the old pony trail should bo replaced Lake Windermere, B.C. Windermere Camp. V by a good motor road, and through ,his efforts in 1905 the Canadian l'a cific Railway, and the Government of British Columbia .ultimately* took the nistter up. Work was commenced on the British Columbia end of the motor road in 1911, but tho work was done very intermittently owing to lack of funds, and the war The ^district is opened sufficiently now to revel in good roads, and the acenic points of interest can be reached comfortably. Pending the completion of the Banff-Windermere Road, autos can be shipped by rail between Baal'f. or Lake Louise to Golden on the 'Can-' adian Pacific Railway. Froni Golden the highway connects with tho Columbia Valley Road, via Windermere road. Lake Windermere has much to offer the tourist, and lover of nature, for the country is varied. for sports and amusements, and accommodation can be had to suit.all ���������tastes,-hotel, 'or camp life if preferred. Invermere is the station which is Tthe key to this-Utopia of the Colum (bia Valley, a tiny structure which Hooks like a toy, and is rather a re- Hief after the noise and, hustle of larger-ones, and savors of the coun- ,try. As soon as one alights, from fthe train, and begins to wonder where the .town; hotel, or any semblance of-civilization is, you are ap- iproached by a man who asks if you /wish accommodation at the hotel or Lake Windermere Camp, and at the fame time he satisfies your curiosity by adding "A drive of a mile must jb������ taken of twenty-five bungalow cabins for living purposes, with a central club house for dining, dancing and social recreation. The site of the camp lies along a natural terrace overlooking the lake. The cabins are below the club house on the shore of the lake among the pines. The site is ideal, and it is a pleasant change to have your own little cabin, an artistic affair made of logs and stained wood, instead of the ordinary hotel room. Looking at Lake Windermere gives one a sense of peace and calm. This valley is miles and miles in length and pastoral in its beauty. The lake stretches out a scintillating sheet of water, situated as few lakes in Canada1 <or the United States. "Beautiful" does not describe it, "grand" and "unique" are adjectives more apt. It is unique in that thp pastoral, the ragged and magnificent are all combined. Directly from the shores of the lake, undulating slopes, or benches rise, well treed -with spruce, pines and fir, open fields are seen here and there along -these benches, and some are cultivated. Above rise the hills well timbered, and above the hills tower the moun-* tains, as if guarding the quiet pastoral lands below, from intrusion of the outside world. The lake and valley has indeed a perfect: setting with the Canadian Rockies to the east, and the equally. spectacular Selkirks on the west. The end of-the valley in which this^lake lies appears closed with the hills and mountains, but it'is not so, for an exceedingly good motor road runs beside.; the lake, along Grassmere Lake and by the shores of Columbia Lake, and motor boats as well as oars can ply I. S������aka Windermere Camp consists to Canal Flats at the head of. Colum bia Lake, and the source of the b������m- tiful Columbia river. Those who have seen this - lake say it is the most superb bit of scenery in the Rockies or Selkirks. It lies not far distant from th������ town of Invermere, a good auto road goes half way, ponies and pack : train penetrate beyond. Ice caves surpassing those of the Alps are here, beauties which tourists cross oo������ tinents to see; lie-practically at fcb* door of the little town of Invermer* The links are on, the promontory where the camp is located. The point was called Kath-tow-hah-lait.--and-,by the way it is on the historical sita of Fort Kootenay, which was commenced in 1807 by David Thompson, astronomer, and surveyor, of -ih������ North West Trading Company. After eight tiers of logs were put together for the warehouse, the project was abandoned on that- site and Fort Kootenay was built two miles north in the same year. David Thompson was the first white man in the country, and t,t was he who discovered the Columbia rhrer^ The golf course is nine holes, and surely,.: no course has a more beautiful situa- ' tion. The fishing is good in many of the lakes in this district, and for '���������< big game hunting the adjacent coun- " try holds out every inducement to those who are keen for this sport. J As said before, ��������� this district ��������� has everything from Glacial regions, to' hot springs. Sinclair-Hot Springs ��������� has a.concrete swimming bath which ��������� attracts many en account of th������ curative properties of* the water. Fairmont to the south also has hot ' springs.- The water in Lake Windermere averages about sixty-eight do-v greea, affording good bathing whicfe ja unusual is mountainous regions. A l/sgal action of more than ..passing interest was entered in the courts last week,' wherein Edwin Joseph Smith aged 18 of Hatzic through his father, seeks_to recover tho sum of $5,000 or the value thereof, from Frederick James Hallady also of Hatzic. The interests of the plaintiff are being looked after - by Mr. E. W.' Bigelow 'while A. -3. .Duncan is acting for the defendant. The case is bound to. create a lot of interest in the district as both are known to almost every fruit grower. The exact, date for the hearing of the action could not be learned at time of going to press. The events leading up to the entering of this legal action, read, like a chapter from the pen of Sir, Arthur Conan Doyle and other well- known writers'of detective stories. Before young Smith graduated from Oundle College in Northamptonshire,- his father who is a director of Vick- errs: Limited, the big English -sh!*, building firm, had already mapned out his career for him, and, toward that end,'he'caused to be inserted in the "London .Times", ��������� an'advertisement to the'effect that he was'anxious to engage":'someone to teach his son fruit farming. This advertisement came to the notice of Frederick James Hallady; who had been residing in England for. about ten years, and he at once got in touch with Mr, Smith and as- a result a deal was made between the two. By the terms of this agreement Mr. Hallady undertook to teach Smith junior the mysteries of fruit farming and British Columbia was selected as the spot of operation. In return Smith senior agreed to furnish the sum. of $5,000 foi- the nur- pose of buying a suitable farm which was to be owned jointly by Smith junior and P. J. Hallady, the latter agreeing to put $1,000 into the scheme. This agreement which was drawn up about Oct. 15 1920, was duly signed at London, one of the ;!clauses appointing Halladr guardian of young Smith, who was then 1 7 years of age. Six days after young Smith left college, the party which cansisted of himself and Mr. and Mrs. Halla- day, sailed for Canada, the elder Smith, having donated $150.00 toward the expenses "of the Hal la days' journey across the water. In Mission Distrtct Eventually the party reached the shores of Canada, and at once entrained for the coast. Arriving here, Mr. Halladay at once commenced a still hunt for a suitable fruit farm on which to commence the education of his ward. After several days, a farm at Hatzic was picked out and later a deal was consummated whereby/ the firm of Halady & Smith: purchased from Mr. W. C. Bell, a six acre tract of land at $1,000 an.acre. Of this amount the purchasers .paid $2,000 down, the vendor taking' a first mortgage for the remaining $4,000. Ihis' was executed about Christmas of- last year, iu the spring operations commenced .and for a while everything went fine, and both parties semed well satisfied - with their bargain. But as time went ou there was a diefded change. Do what he might, young Smith could not seem to be able to satisfy.his guardian and he was continually in trouble. ��������� While Halladay's brother-in-law had a room to himself, young Smith had to sIcgp on the flopr in a room where Mrs. .Halladay deposited the dirty linen. To- this, treatment Smith protested, but to no avail. He worked hard from morning until night, but outside of his board he received nothing, not even any new clothes, which Halladay had agreed to provide. ago. when Hal;'..<i;:;- oi-dered Smith'to go to the prairies 'for the harvest. Smith refused to go lor the reason that his interests were tied up at "atzic. HIa refusal infuriated Mr. 'lalladay to such an extent that he (old his ward to get? away from him and get.a. job and he did not, care - The boy' walked away an,d_ when he returned at night,, the door was locked against his"' entrance and lie was forced tofseek shelter, with,a neighbor. The next day the .neighbor started an inquiry into the -whole matter and wha,t he found out was* beyond mere belief. . The F"iim In J)cbt Enquiry brought forth the information; that instead ,of having .a balance on hand at the bank, the firm ol Smith and Halladay were In debt to the bank to the extent.of a- bout $250.00, being made up'by an overdraft of $120.00 and notes for $150.00/which Halladay had borrowed. -When asked "what he knew'of this, Smith stated that he was unaware of it. The investigator could" not figure how a transfer of this kind could have taken place without Smith's knowledge when both Halladay & Smith had to sign all cheque^ ' as the "agrement made in England called for, :-,the bank .account ..being- carried in the joint names. When questioned as to cheques, Smith stated that Halladay had nei'3uaded him to. sign blank cheques" on many occasions and.some time ago came to him "with a paper to sign, which he understood to be a draft for money which, was to be .used to nay a, Chinese berry picker. But instead of this the paper turned out to be a document giving Halladay power to draw from the firm account without the signature .of young Smith. ; When the investigator found out how things stood) he immediately took steps to tie up the account and all moneys owed to the firm for berries, as he wanted to be sure of re- ceiving the payment of $1,3 33 due him with interest on October 1st as a second payment on the farm. He then communicated with Smith sen-. ior, who in turn through his a'ttor-, neys, entered suit against Halladay to recover the $5,000 invested. WE10K IN CALGARY The weather for the past week has' )een showery and cool. The price of B. C. field tomatoes came down very quickly; they are now whole-, tiling at $2.00 per four basket crate,;. some have been quoted as low as- $1.75. The apparent bid demand for sour;; berries' has, fallen flat, even though/ | here has, not been a large quantity,/ >n the market, some were cleaned up!/ as low as $1.00 per case, but in most! ases. the quality had a great deal to.. do with the low quotation. A car of cherries from Cove, Ore-, on arrived hero this week contain-, ng 155 Bings', 490 Lamberts, 300 Republicans, 56 Royal Anns, and 32 Mack Oregons. Some of the new B. C- fruit and vegetables arriving on this market,, during the past week are: Crab ap-; pies, peach plums, pumpkin, hub-!- iard-squash, vegetable marrow, egg-, plant, green, peppers and citron A lot of" poor cucumbers have ar-. rived on the -market, not properly haped and turning white and yel- ��������� ow. these should never have boen shipped. On Monday a car of apricots arriv- d from Dallas', Oregon, they were Moorparks and. Tilsons in 30 lb. lugs [ or 27 lbs. net. This is a cheap and good cot container. Also a car of apples from Walla Walla arrived on Monday, there were mostly Bctig- hoimers and Wolf Rivers. This is the ouly car of imported apples that we have heard of being sold in Alberta. More Money Comes Lftler In the Spring, Smith seuior sent $150.00 to his son for his own personal use. Of this amount, he had the use of a part, hut claims that the Halladays got the rest. Then later aa the berry season was about on, he wrote his father for $500 with which to build a packing sited. This amount wao sent from England and a small shed erected, although j the elder Smith objected to sending it as he thought that the original sum invested should have boen sufficient to cover its expenditure. Then the harvest of the fruit commenced and things went fairly well for a time Smith junior putting up with sleeping on the floor because he had to. Crate after crate of fruit was forwarded to the warehouse at Hatzic and young Smith had dreams of there being a nice tidy profit at the end of the season of; which he. was to receive-10 per cent according to the terms of the agreement. With this in view, he went about his work uncomplainingly/.and put up .with all the a- buse 'that Halladay, heaped upon .him,.. But the patience of. all men is limited. The straw that broke the camel's back, came about ten days New Alberta grown potatoes ara now being offered for sale in competition with B. C. stock. Green corn arriving on the. market from both A!berta and B. C. points is not matured sufficiently for shipping. Eggs are coming on the market in very poor condition, the price quoted being $8.70 to $0.00 per case.
