PNOPfl <��������� .- .������uuw ������mij.n������������i������i The following taken from the Vancouver World will be interesting to our readers who remember the last provincial election, it would have been an awful, political crime for any Conservative to have even hinted, during election time, that any kind of a promise had been made Lo Mr. Martyn, but such must have been a fact. Time has proven it. The World says: "Some iime ago the provincial government ' appointed an industrial commissioner. He was entrusted with a large fund from which to make loans.to such enterprises as, upon investigation, proved deserv ing. the "The officer in question resigned to become government candidate in Dewdney at the recent elections. He was defeated. Yesterday the government re-appointed him industrial commissioner. "The fair inference is that Major Martyn was assured, before he resigned, that, if defeated, he would be re-appointed to the public service. Prior to his resignation the commisisoner made a loan of approximately a quarter of a million dollars lo a cordage company in New Westminster, for whom a site had been obtained by purchasing properly from the premier. Two nights before election he announced that the industrial board, of wflich he had been commissioner, had loaned $200,000 to a company to carry on business in the Dewdney Riding. These two incidents are cited to show the gross improprieties which are sure to attend such a practice as the one to which attention is now called. "The whole transaction is politically immoral. It is degrading 'to the civil service, which Ihe government parly was elected, in the first instance tov purge of patronage. It is an affront in no way qualified by the persona) merit of the official mentioned. The way in which the premier used the civil service lo square himself with his old rival in Dewdney is generally known. That sort of thing, tin fortunately, is not so uncommon in politics as to awaken much comment. Rut the a- btise of the public service in the present instance is flagrant and intolerable. U the industrial commis- ioner is to be a political pawn for the government at elections, the bona fides of his loaning operations between elections willcome under suspicion and sharp scrutiny." .

Conditions have also boon ol:-, served at a third dairy -where .the I dairymen had used methods of clean- , ing which produced good results. j The quality of the mill* produced' by the dairies previous to, and later ! than, the ,work described here was determined from (he records of the bacteriological examinations made by the-persons in charge of Ihe milk inspection work al Geneva. Those records were based upon a deU'rnun- alion of the approximate numbers of bacteria present in the milk as b'-nnght to the city. ' l rouble had -boon experienced al Farm A. in cc'������;i(inuously producin; a milk with a tIow *���������rrn eouim.t A ten-day visit was (horH'oro iinido to this farm during which lime (he author nut iced eondilions and in- , trod need ('loaning methods siinih'r io those used al. the Wlnlion. j\'uir<M ��������� ous tests of the milk showed thai al this farm, at that lime, tho chief trouble arose from a failure to scald and dry metal utensils' properly. The milking machine tubes were ably clean, and were kept utlon of brine and reason- in a sol- ���������,, ,.,, ��������� , ...... chloride of lime which was in sal isfaclory condiHon, though various details in the care given the lubes could have been improved. Improved methods were introduce! >\ ith the r.:;ult that, so long as the euro of the machines remained under observation, all cans of milk suit to Geneva were found to have a low' germ content. During the seven months that, have elapsed since the visit was made, the qyality of the milk from this farm, though vaiiabie, has been betcr than it was previous to' the visit. Observations lead the author to believe that the fluctuations in quality wero due to a failure^ io attend to all of the essential details of the cleaning process. Trouble had .been experienced at Farm 13., in producing a high grade milk, and an eight-day visit was made to study conditions. Investigation showed that there were 'many, possible sources of trouble .at "this place, bogmning with poor cleaning of the tear-.cups'and lubes, pails and other ul'msiia In addition, the sterilizing solution used for the rubber tubes was weak both in salt .i-'id chloride of Hint, while the milk was not cooled sa'.nd'uctorily before shipping. The introduction of better methods of cleaning and caring \'<-"' the utensils largely removed ihe difficulty, though this was not cleared up entirely until the milk was cooled more efficiently, So long as I hose Ihings were'under control'tho milk reached the city with a 'low gor.n content even though it was shipped 27 miles without icing and-was never cooler than 02 degrees 1<\ "~A description of conditions' n.i. Farm C. is also included because at (his farm the dairyman himself had adopted the'Station methods of.clean ing machines to his own conditions so successfully that he had maintained an almost perfect record for pro ducing milk with a low gt'i'iu I'oir.eul :his n cord corresponded \v!lh th.1 excellent record tnainlninod by- the same man during periods^ when his herd was milked by hand. ' Some difficulty which ho experienced during flic spring of l!).i!) disappeared follow ing the use of a sterilizing soulI ion for the 1 oat-cups and In bus which con lained salt as'well as a strong solution of chloride of; lime. Great care was maintained at.'this farm at all 1 times to keep tho machines as well as | oilier milk utensils in a eleanlyl condition.; ', The chief conclusions to be drawn from the observations are: that the methods of cleaning are more important than the type of the'milker in i determining, the germ content cf the ' milk and that, high grade milk can lie -produced .with the milkers under observation provided they are cleaned and cared for (wide a day for HGn days 'in .the year by methods known to give,good results. Success cannot ; be attained, however, by doing the ! work in a half hearted ��������� way.

The speaker said' he had heard Sir Wilfrid Laurier say that he would not rest, until every vestige of protection had been removed from the tariff. When Sir Wilfrid came into the premiership, his government made no attack on the'tariff and loft it untouched. Why howl at the present government "when the present a- veragc protection amounts to 23 per cent? Premier Meighen was greeted by three rousing cheers as he entered the hall on his arrival from the over How meeting.

"This is the only way to ensure success. ^ MacKenzie King was put in power, who would be his allies? Ask- him when he comes to this city if he believes in the protective principle, and why he does.

Our tariff today- averages 22 1-2 per cent on dutiable goods and 14 per cent, on goods free of duty during the 16 years of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's regime. The average duty was a little more than 28 per cent. The government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier required a revenue of $4 00,000,000, due in a large measure to the demands of war.

Tho November meeting at the request of a largely-signed petition agreed to establish a road on the international boundary from the old Whatcom road to Huntingdon. Tills road running through, tho barnyard of the Vanderhoof property is likely to load to a claim for damages, and at the court of revision the councillors present invited an unofficial'arbitration, in order to get some idea of their liabilities before committing themselves to a legal decision from which there would be no apepal. Councillor Atkinson questioned this preceding, as he was at the lastl regular meeting, and knew nothing of it. Councillor Lamson defended os it was a precautionary measure, and might save much money. The unofficial "finding," however was quite harmless, as it suggested tho removal of tho farm buildings back from the road, at the expense of tho municipality. A more serious obstruction, in the ciyos.of the interested owners, was a proposed resolution that the advisability of building this road be laid before the ratepayers at the election. Mr. Parberry and Mr. John Fraser indignantly contested such a procedure as a shuffling of responsibility and a delay of the measure. The ratepayers on the petition were authority enough, council had given its promise, the by-law was authorized. Ratepayers, reeve and councillors were all speaking at once, the council table was hammered and thumped. It was useless for the council to mention a petition for an alternative route, as, although known to be -in existence, it was not before the meeting. No matter what it cost them, people had asked for it and would stand behind it. if the obstructing I THE NOON HOUR "Let me have sleeping accommodations on the train to Ottawa," I said to the man at the window, who' didn't seem at all concerned weth- ev I took the trip or stayed at home "For a single passenger?" he finally said. '���������No," I replied, "I'm married but I m not taking anybody with me. A single shelf will answer." "Upper or lower?" he asked. "What is the difference?" I inquired. "A difference of fifty'cents," came ..he answer. "Our prices to Ottawa are $2.5 0 and $3.00." "You understand of course," exclaimed the agent, "the lower is higher than the upper. The higher price is for the lower berth. If you want it lower you'll have to go higher. We sell the upper lower than the lower. It didn't used to be so, but we found everybody wanted the lower. In other words the higher the fewer." "Why do they prefer the lower?" I broke in. "On account of its convenience," he replied. "Most persons don't j like the upper, although it's lower, | on account of it being higher, and i because when you occupy an upper 1 you have to get up to go to bed, and then get down when you get up. I would advise you to take the lower although if is higher than the upper, for the reason I have stated, that the upper is lower than the lower because it is higher. You can have the lower if you pay higher; but if you are willing to go -higher it will be lower." Insurance of all kinds'' NOTARY PUBLIC t 4. Marriage.
