The ball was soon centred again and Ibis time Chilliwack had tbe break and tallied their one and only goal from a tricky rainbow shot. Mission was soon in the lead again when R.

Following this the play was Mission's, but no one seemed anxious to exert himself so the score remained 3 to 1 to the end. Chilliwack has a nice field and the game was very fast until a heavy shower made the ground rather slippery aud somewhat slowed the play. Clayburn won their game with Langley Fort 2 to' 1 which was the only other game scheduled.

He had evidence in his a largo percentage of the people hands of what might readily bo con- have come from other lands where strued as a plot to tamper with the conditions and forms of government sacred rights of the people. are quite different much confusion England. The very fact that all legislation enacted.in the nanie, of the King, that the Government is spoken .of .as the King's Government, and that the Royal-assent is, required to all legislation passed,:before it becomes law leads to "a belief in many quarters that Canadians.do not enjoy all the rights of self-government: and as full exercise :of- 'all liberties as do the people of' the United States or any other country. As a matter of fact, King George V. exercises far less power in Canada than the,President does .in. the United States! The King in England, or his.representative, the Governor-General in Canada, or.any of the Provincial Lieutenant-Governors have the power to dismiss their riiin- iSifii-s from-office. -But.the President of ibe United States: has the same power. In the United States,' however, the people have no remedy except to elect a new President when the. next election comes around, be chat time long or short. In Canada che people must be consulted in a general election immediately, and, if .heir verdict is in favor of the dismissed ministers, the Governor-Gen- eral, or the Lieutenant-Governor, as Lhe case may be, is. recalled from office. The. King, or .his .representative, is obliged.to accept as his ministers and advisers those -men who are shown to haye the.confidence of the.people through' their election, to;Parliament or Legislature, arid who command the support.of a majority of all.the members in Parliament or Legislature. The moment, a Ministry loses the support of such a majority of the people's elected representatives, ii must resign.and.make way tor a.new Ministry possessing:such support. In fhe United States on the' other hand, the President personally selects his own cabinet of ministers, men who may. or may not,' be the choice of the people, and men who may not command the support of a majority In Congress. The Crown is a common tie binding all parts of the British .Empire together, but the Crown does not, and cannot, legislate of itsolf, impose taxes, or enforce laws. Thebe things can only be done by the elected representatives of the people and the courts of law which those representatives in their wisdom create. In a word, in no country, do the people enjoy wider liberties, or greater freedom of action than in Canada- both Federally and Provincially.

They were met at the shops by i no officials iu charge of these great The party wore oscorted through tho works, spending.over two'hours Lo inspect only a portion of this great plant. First they visited the immense locomotive works and the organization and details were ex- ��������� plained. Then they saw the salvage plant that turns what was formerly wasted and lost material into a valuable asset. They also inspected the passenger and freight car works, the offices, ambulance and dining halls. Il was a splendid education in Canad'an industrial development, and the Senators expressed their astonishment at the size of the works and their efficient organizaton. They all agreed that our legislators should seize every opportunity to familiarize themselves with Canada's industrial life.. The party was present when the great works closed for noon and i,t was a wonderful sigfht to see the thoasands of employees streaming out of tho works. Some conception o4 the immensity of this enterprise can be grasped from the statistics furnished. The area of the works is ZOO acres, and number of employees' B.200 with an annual pay-roll of $12,- 7PO.O00. As distinctive railway shops J.^8 Angus Works are the largest in North America, in fact, in the world. , Wonderful Efficiency. Senator Gideon Robertson, Minister oi lAbor, was deeply interested. lie said of tho visit: "It is eleven years since I have been hero and the development is simply amazring. I am glad I came. I had no appreciation of the immensity of the enterprise. What most impressed me was the wonderful efficiency of the employees. I never saw an idle man and I believe each was striving to give a fair day's work. I am glad tho relationship between the company and its employees is of such a cordial character." Hon. Hewitt Bosiock also was deeply interested and appreciative of this industrial development and said: ���������'One thinks of thc Canadian Pacific Railway as a great transportation company with representatives in ail the important centres oE tho world, but cannot realize until they vis-it the Angus shops, the amount of co-ordination and management required to keep the rolling stock, and thc system generally, up to date and in an efficient state of repair. Whilst these shops are the principal shops of tho railway they are by no means tho only shops whore repairs arc made. On entering tho locomotive building the first thing to attract tho attention of thc party was thc bi.'V crane of GO tons transporting the. cornpicted boiler of an engine to its place, to bo placed into the bogey carriage.

That the company was building such -mammoth locomotives was the most impressive,, recollection of the trip, while in quite another direction the evidences of thorough and business acumen, in economic management, were" manifest in the utilization of what would be considered as scrap by converting the same, into useful parts" for new work. The' employment of .the great force of 9,000 men, at tbe Angus Shops was an evidence of the most striking kind of the part played by the compariy, not only in the transportation interests of Canada, but in its Industrial life. The party are under deep obligations Tor Senator White's kindness in giving thorn the trip." Senator Turriff, Saskatchewan, said: "I thought I had some conception of the C.P.R. efficiency an<J magnitude, but no one can properly understand it until he sees these works. What impressed me, was tho fine appearance of the employees. I never saw'a more intelligent body ol. men." Senator John Fisher was equally appreciative. He was much Impressed with the salvage department "I now know," he said, "why the C. P. R Is a success. There Is no waste- on the system." ��������� j ��������� , ��������� . Mr. W. F.

Elimination of Wasle. Senator George Fowler, of New Brunswick, said : -> "Personally, I had no idea or tho magnitude of tho shop--, nor'of thcsLr perfection from the industrial standpoint. The pride which I, as an intense Canadian, have always taken in having in our country the greatest transportation system in "the world was considerably Increased when this visit convinced ��������� me that its organization was about as n������r perfection as thc inherent shortcomings of frail humanity can reach. The most modern machinery, the most expert mechanics, with suporb organization can accomplish wonders, a statement proved by the-work performed at the Angus Shops. Wc saw under tlie same roof the' repairs to an in significant car hinge, and the building of a magnificent engine such as Stophcnson in hio greatest visions never dreamed of, .an engine weighing one hundred and seventy-five tons and capable-of hauling a train of loaded cars:o\ 3r a mile in length. So perfectly has the .automatic principle been developed in many of the machines in thc works that, they almost seem to be sentient things; and capable of thc expression of more intelligent thought than that sometimes exhibited by even a judge upon the bench. ..'*'��������� "Another feature that, struck me was the'almost'perfect elimination of waste.

ROBERT STEAD'S MOW ROMANCE Robert Stead-, once of Calgary, now if the Civil Service iri Ottawa. is'today second only to Ralph Connor in popularity as a Canadian romanticist. Like the author of "The Sky Pilot," he has chosen the west as his stamping ground - From his early boyhood he lived in the prairie country,! and no one. knows all its manysided life better than he does.' Out of this adventurous region came his first Mevejs. "The Bail jumper", and "The Mvmesteaders". His Inst novel, "The Cow Puncher,"' is also wholly western in its atmosphere nnd action. His r.ew story, "Dennison Grant.',' sorcalled from the name of the hero', offers some variation on his previous novels' in that it shifts from west.to east, just as its author himself has done. The opening chapters are laid in the ranching country of Alberta and describe the tragic rivalry, of the Y. D. gang and the Grant gang in their wild contention for the hay rights in a wild valley in the foothills of the Rockies. It ��������� was in the - course of this exciting-melee that Dennison Grant first came into touch with old Y. D.'s daughter, the wilful and vicious Zen, the most attractive pf all Stead's heroines. The story swings from Alberta to an eastern city, which has no name but is probably Toronto,,-then back to Alberta once more.' The ��������� climax is remarkably free from conventionality" and will thrill reader with its" passion and its unusual dramatic situations. An intensely interesting love story, this ro- inance is bound to be one of the big sellers of. the season. It is published by the Musson Book Company of Toronto. Alex. S. Duncan.

To Protect Local Water interests At the meeting of the Matsqui council on Saturday Messrs T. Lancaster and A. R'ottluff brought under notice the matter' of the present position of the company which has a -franchise in connection with the proposed water-works and supply for Matsqui village. It was inftmat'ed that.the council proposed action for the amending of tho charter. The deputation pointed out that the company was a local co-operative movement, which had met with difficulty owing to the outbreak of Avar shortly etter it was formed- and the resultant sofiring in prices of all material for such a project. They ajked that the matter be fllowed to lav over for a time. They would see to it that the franchise did not pass into the hands of anyone seeking but profit. Reeve McCallum said the council was advised that the charter was faulty, and all he desired to do was to have it so amended, or' a new one prepared, as to protect local interests The franchise might pass into the hands of speculators at some future time, and work hardship on those it was desirable to protect. Coun. Bell thought if the council's legal adviser could so readily find flaws in this local charter, they might with advantage devote some time to devising means of compelling the powerful interests which controlled the electric power line to live up to their franchise, and meet the requirements of residents along thc route, as promised. It was stated that offors had been made for the waterworks charter, but would not be considered. Tho matter was eventually left over to "the new council. The charter deals with water rights' over .streams from Sumas mountain running through the Matsqui prairie towards Matsqui village.

It is very noticeable however that had the cities of Vancouver and Victoria split the vote more that, the government would ij u', boc.': able to cany on, and even now unless the absentee YO'iC i-ives tiio Liberals mure of a majority it may be that another j ;'. Ci.-HAlUil niajoriiy ovei will be held before the next live years, as ill is but slight one. The past four years has a tor may. face, they can be only : small proportion of the electorate The arguments upon which the cai didate.-relies, thc principles which h professes, must be expressed throug some better medium than the huiha voice. The spoken word is, compa 7i rCi" latively, but a feeble whisper. "It i the Oliver" ' , , 41 t ,, ,the printed word that thunders. iiown tiiciL 1/re'mior Oliver is not built the right way to keep the members together. ThcTsessions since 1916 have shown thai al least two of the big majority, 1-lanes and Walters, broke away Kioi.i'iig hard over tlie traces. Should anything like that happen aga .!, and it might with such a leader, it would place the government Gf the day/in an awkwaid position. Even now after an election in which the Liberals won we hear murmurings that the Liberals should change leaders. Why we do not know, or are not prepared to say. But such is a fact. However it is hoped that we shall have a better government until next election'that was ours-to enjoy between 1916 and'the election just past. Uoth parties in the United State spent at least half of their campaigi funds for this kind of ^publicity They organized it thoroughly. Thoj recognized that the newspaper is tin messenger that flies direct to tlu minds of those who are to be influenced.���������The Commoner During the past election it would appear that the Independent candidate had a hard road- to hoe. Few of them have been elected," considering the number who offered themselves. The people of British Columbia undoubtedly feel that the -two old .parties are good enough to rule. Many people will go and sit in a "political meeting and listen to an independent candidate berate either the Conservative or the Liberal candidate or government, but when-it comes to support it is another question. ],n the past no man, and it would' appear to be the same with the women voters, likes to lose his vote, consequently they all feel tafcr voting forone who is likely to be a winner. Then probably it is easier for either of the" old parties'.to finance a campaign���������no one knows from where but the neces- saiy financial aid appears much easier to be gotten for a Liberal or a Conservative party. The Independent, with his campaign' funds,,works at a great disadvantage. The coining session of the House at Victoria will be an interesting one. One of the most important pieces of legislation to come before the members for consideration will be the passing of un act for government control. ]f it be true, as reprted, that both the temperance people and the liquor people backed up the Oliver candidates, tiie government wili find it hard to please both ���������classes of thought. They cannot do it, and there are likely to be some lively times. We want a sane British Columbia, a British Columbia with an act to govern the liquor control, so that the law, whatever it may be will be obeyed. The carrying out of the law, after it has been enacted is very important. If a workable- act is passed it will be easy to enforce, and British Columbia's criminal class will not be on the increase, as under'the present Prohibition Act. .The time that this new act is under discussion is likely to prove an interesting one for the Oliver government if they are sincere in the matter. ' ��������� What a shame our riding did not have a successful lady candidate! Look what our townsmen missed! Ah, yes indeed. rianiung Itoad Widths��������� ��������� The present unscientific system of fixing the. alignment of roads is accompanied by an equally unscientific system of fixing road widths. Most roads are too wide and many are too narrow, and those that are too narrow are. restricted in width by reason of . the law which , requires the others to be too wide. It may be claimed that,both in rural and urban territory, a general average of( sixty- six feet is wide enough for all purposes and that no community, even when relatively closely settled, can afford to lay" out and pave streets of a greater average width. The minimum standard in Ontario and elsewhere is sixty-six feet. This standard applies to the maiii arterial thoroughfare required to carry heavy traffic and to the short residental \ street. required for the purely domestic, needs of a few houses. In many districts acres of macadam asphalt and concrete laid in a few streets might with advantage be used oyer twice the length of street now paved. One consequence is that the cost of local improvements in many localities is so great that money is not available for necessary purposes of public sanitation. Another is that the tax burdens on the property owners is so heavy,that they are proportionately limited in the capital available for making their houses sanitary and durable in construction, and they are compelled to crowd their land with buildings in order to put it to economic use.���������Review.

It had a real old-fashioned rustic touch, a flavour'of new-m'own hay,'and left a decided imprint of rural simplicity. No mere city politician could have carried it through, with su.ch verve and eclat or, to give it in plain English, Avith such spirit and splash. Ki3s ing a lady in public is not an acquired habit. Premier Oliver is and always has been a pioneer, and is not at all deterred by (he absence of precedents. , . ��������� As for Mary Ellen, like Barkis, she's willin'.' The. most, competent shorthand reporter west of the Rockies took verbatim notes of the preosculatory conversation between the Premier and Mrs. Smith. In the subsequent- excitement he swallowed his notes, but coughed up the following fragments by'request: "Maryallan, I'm going to ��������� KISS' you" "Honest John? 0, spare my blushes!" , '' "Maryallan, I like your cheek." ' (Business of brushing aside trouble some whiskers'and then) SMACK (Only, of course, much louder than any type we can possibly get in this, column.) If. it wasn't exactly what Don Juan would have described as "a Long, Long Kiss," a Kiss of Love and Youth", it was at least a solid, 'sub- j stantial and sounding . smack. 'Experts agree that if John had been forty or fifty, years younger. if^\ Ellen would have given him-a smack for smack. But 'Webster, as" |you know, describes more than one kind of smack, and nobody .knows which smack Mrs. Smith would have returned. Mary Ellen knows, but sho won't tell���������at least, not until next election campaign. Honest John, we have baen :lo!d on most reliable authority, had some explaining to do in certain quarters regarding this chaste saluto. Fimt of. jail he offered to bet tiie Elliott two- , bits that Bowser couldn't prov-i it ! from the records of. the bouse, but jsoon shifted his ground and assumed an air of virtuous resignation, and pointed with pride that this was ons of the penalties or privilogei of tho greatness that have been thrust upon iiim. "THIS LTSS WAS A T)T.iVY, NOT A SIN." he thundored like a sucking dove. ; And thon the hury-burly Premier brought down the family Bible and, ��������� in a very loud voice, read the story of thc prodigal son, and drew quite a closer analogy between the two cases. "And he Vj!l on hi> nock and kissed him!" "Surely" said John, "if-my namesake the a- postle saw merit in that rich farmer kissing the prodigal son when he returned to the fold, shouldn't I, as farmer-premier, kiss the prodigal daughter who lias returned lo the Liberal fold after straying in the land of the Independents for a brief season".'" Well, we musn't be too captious. If, was a glorious victory, and the j Liberally.were in good spirits that evening, though not quite drunk with powor.
