One of the most interesting students of modern provincial politics is Mr. \V. J, llarns, of Pitt Meadows, who sat in the legislature as mem- . b.er for New Westminster district from 1878 to 1882, Mr Harris, who is greatly interested in the coming election, was-in the house at Victoria , in the days when there were but 24 members. Mr. George Walkem was the premier He was a lawyer and came from Ontario, the birthplace of many wise men of the east Forty years ago party politics and party machines were unknown, members' indemnities were small and the ridings represented were large. In. Mr Harris time as M; P., the members received as a recompense for out-of-pocket ' expenses and in reward for legisla- lative labor for the province the sum of four hundred dollars a pear In the good old days of long ago, whose traditions are cherished by the new generations, it was no easy matter to get a seat in the House. As Mr, Harris remihiscently informed a Review representative all the country east of the Booth ranch at Maillard- villc was in 18 78 one huge block of dense timber extending for miles east "with only the village of Mission; to break tne sameness and monotony of th landscape along the North Fraser .���������Valley. There was no C. P, R to carry one in comfort from place to place. Where Port Coquitlam now stands Donald McLean, George Black "Ned" Adkins and Colonel Scott, father of Mr. JLoftus' Scott were a- mong'the very few settlers who had hewn a home out of the.black masses of forest" and lived hard pioneering lives. .Travelling.' too. was far from easy. When Mr. Harris and Mr, Donald McGillivray "stumped" the country politically of course, there was no : Dewdney Riding Dewdney wras a small part of an immense electoral district which embraced .Vancouver, Howe Sound, Delta, Chilliwack, Su- mas Municipality, and an., extensive tract of the North Fraser Valley ..extending from Vancouver and New Westminster up to borders of Yale In this huge territory there were 300 voters In 1878, M J, Harris and Donald McGillivray together "stumped" the widely scattered voters in opposition to W, Matthews and James Oi'r whom they eventually defeated, by fifty odd votes Liven in those days the people demanded to have an opportunity of "sizing up" their prospective member and audiences of five or six or possibly "twenty persons were addressed on the live topics of the day Roads were novelties, trails were rough, lonely, and dangerous owing to the presence of wolves and. other wild animals that infested the forests. Sometimes the aspiring politicians trampml the trails for mile after mile, until they were well nigh exhausted. At times they went on horseback, and often they journeyed from Hope to the coast in canoes paddled by Siwashcs. The old Yale road even unfit for driving cattle to the markets. 'As regards the deliberations that passed in the old parliament House at Victoria the legislation ' was conducted fairly amiably, says Mr. Harris, "but we used to have some lively times in caucus meetings although the total revenuue of the country which we had to expend was not more than two hundred thousand dollars" Mr. Harris can relate some interesting anecdotes One concerns the late Dr Mclnnes, father of Judge Mclnnes The doctor, he says, was inllamed by several trenchant articles written by J. R, Sutor, editor of the Mainland Guardian, in a scries of attacks on the Walkem government. In a fit of violent temper he punched the editor's head Tho editor's head and dignity hurt so much he had Mclnnes taken before Magistrate Armstrong to obtain redress. Sutor got the conviction all right but unfortunately for him the magistrate was a close friend of the accused. The result oi* the court case , was that Suler's only satisfaction for a "punched head" was to see his assailant fined the sum of���������2 5 cents SPREADING THE WHITE PLAGUE A college professor, describing the effect of wind in a western forest, wrote: "In travelling, along the road. I even sometimes found the logs bound and' twisted to such an extent that a mule couldn't climb over them so i went around."' Victoria, .B.C., March 8; 1915 To Editors of Newspapers, Sir, An article appeared in tlie editorial columns of the Vancouver Even ing Journal entitled "Spreading the White Plague," which, owing to the misleading statements contained therein and the false impression1 which it is apt to convey, calls for an explanation as to the work which has been carried out during the past few years by the Provincial Government towards eradicating Bovine Tuberculosis from our dairy herds and thus mitigating the spread of tuberculosis in this Province. The leading scientists of tho world, men who ha\e made a life study "of the subject, are all agreed that milk from cows affected with Bovine Tuberculosis is one of the principal causes of Pthisis in children. The report of the Commission appointed last year by the Government of Great Britain to investigate the matter clearly shows this to be the case. The following is taken from the British Medical Journal of January 17th, 10.14: "In recent years the'results of the investigations on tuberculosis conducted by the' British Royal Commission, the German Imperial Commission, and by many individual workers' proved beyond doubt the' communicability of the bovine virus from animal to man." Experimental work conducted 'in the city of Edinburgh, amongst children affected with tuberculosis, proved that out of seventy-two cases investigated, sixty-five were of the bovine type, and seven of the human type, thus proving the communicability of this disease to children in drinking affected milk. The findings of the British Royal Commission are as follows: ��������� "Bovine Tuberculosis can therefore no longer be considered a negligible factor in respect to the spead of tuberculosis amongst children, -more especially since unsterilized cows' milk in this country is a vehicle'by which tubercle bacilli must most frequently be .introduced into the bodies of children. The powers at present vested in our local authorities are grossly inadequate, and it seems to me to be our special duty to en'deavor to prevent this enormous and entirely preventable amount' of tuberculosis amongst children. It is a national problem and the earlier it is faced, the mere easily it will be-solved. That measures for the protection of children against infection v������ith the bovine virus are indispensable, is an undisputable fact. Whatever powers may be zlv- en to the looai authorities, the}' must, to be effective, be so framed, that their application throughout the United ' Kingdom will' bej uniformly compulsory. Five years ago the fight against bovine .tuberculosis was started in this province, at the request of'the stockmen and dairymen of British Columbia. Testing was undertaken free of charge, but was not compulsory. . An amendment to the Contagious Diseases Act was therefore brought into force during the session of the Provincial Legislature in 1913. whereby testing was made compulsory. Then commenced an earnest and systematic fight against bovine tuberculosis. Mark what has been accomplished since .first taken in hand. When the work the percentage of tuberculin test in the principal dairy districts of the province was as follows: Gulf Islands, 7 per cent. Vancouver Island, 10 per cent. Lower Mainland, 15 per cent. The last test was made when every dairy cow on the Gulf Islands, Vancouver Island and practically in all districts of the Lower Mainland, was tested, shows the following decrease in reactors: ��������� Gulf Islands, no reactors; Van- haiid, been drunk by our' children, and who can say what mortality Avas caused thereby? Does this look as if the Provincial Government' had been spreading the disease? No, rather give credit where it is due, and should not our Provincial Government receive hearty commendation for the, goo'd results which have been accomplished. , ' Now,.about the sale of cows that have reacted to" the tuberculin test. Previous to this work being taken in hand,' hundreds of cows affected with bovine tuberculosis were sold for human consumption without any .inspection. Since this work has been taken 'in hand, however, a rigid inspection takes' place, and only' those cows which are perfectly fit for human food are allowed to be . 'sold. Others are condemned for tanking 'purposes.' If there are no tubercular lesions on the.meat of tho animal it is perfectly fit for human food, "and is sold as such in.every country of the world. I wish emphatically to state that no animal which has been condemned for bovine tuberculosis has been allowed to be sold for human consumption without a most careful examination by either Dominion or by Provincial inspectors, and in the case of those condemned.for tanking purposes, our. departmental qualified veterinarians see that they are so disposed of. Statements were made during the present session of the Provincial legislature tliat. the Swift Canadian Company have been making a fat thing out of the Provincial Government' by buying, reactors under market value! The total number of cattle handled by this company was oighty-five, forty-three of. which wore'condemned for tanking purposes, and forty-two passed for beef. The price received for these cows was 'nearly double what was statd.v Milking cows'"'naturally have very little value as beef, owing to, their condition, and wonld not be worth half as much as a fat dry cow. The tuberculin used in testing by- ofiicials of this department is secured from the very best sources, and is guaranteed purer THE MARCH TO THE BATTLEFIELDS; OR CANADA'S MEN ON-THE WAY . this work was was first begun reactors to the - The above is the title given -to a picture that will for many years to .come be a highly prized treasure.

OIL MAY BE FOUND AT *' HEAD OF PITT LAKE Another Company Putting in Machinery for Drilling , at Territory Showing Good Indications. A company of oil prospectors, other than' the'Paterson syndicate, is now assembling boring machinery on certain lands at the head of Pitt Lake land recently staked and tested by an expert. This expert, who ^ was engaged at the Paterson .well at Sturgeon Slough:'was induced to examine the strata and geographical conditions at the place in reference and gave out as his opinion, after full investigation and practical tests, that there are excellent possibilities of oil being struck' there at. two hundred feet if the claim is properly worked One important advantage which the .land has over the district drilled by the Paterson syndicate is that the water problem should not be encountered at any rate to such an extent as that at the slough. As all who have visited the scene oi* the drilling carried out by Paterson's men were aware there is oil to be had, but the great diiliculty so far has been'to obtain the oil apart from the water. Until this obstacle has been surmounted oy successful casing of the well and luck in drilling without' mishap to a further depth than six- 'toen. hundred feet to which the hole is, sunk it cannot be" ascertained whether oil exists in commercially paying quantities. According to a settler who lives not far from tho lake, there is a good deal of activity among prospectors at the head of the lake. At one point some distance'north of the northern bank in the direction- of the first canyon, which is fifteen miles from the most northern point of the lake, and close to the south bank of the canyon, excellent gold has been found. While details of the find are difficult to .procure owing to the secrecy with ���������which the prospecting is being car- "ried out there seems to be.*no= question but that ^an assayer's report on- ."the, specimens is- highly /satisfactory.

Burkhart induced' ' a Okanagan friend'who, by the way, is a merchant- and , postmaster of a thriving little burg of that part, to take home with him ^a car of apples to sell in his town, says an exchange The man was here a month, considered' buying an orchard and laid plans for spending the balance of his' days in this valley. ' . Mr. Burkhart was' interested to know the outcome of his friend's apple deal, and -this week received a letter which explained something of the reasons why sales .there and in the east were.not satisfactory to the grower's. To begin with, the car consisted of well selected varieties', carefully packed, and in- the old days' would hav netted the grower ,$2.00 or $2.50 per box. Selling agents however, did not lake kindly to the idea of another dealer coming into the territory and taking out apples and disposing of them in a private way As soon as it became known that his apples were in'transit, two agencies immediately diverted cars to this point and priced apples so low that the dealer was forced to sell far below his guarantee. Instead of cursing the valley and lamenting his fate, the dealer took the matter philosophically and makes a joke of the whole affair in the following letter to Mr. Burkhart. "The undersigned, intending to commit suicide by reason of his fail- ure"in apple shipping business, will sell at public auction at his farm at on the road, a short dis tance from the barn, all his belongings: , ^ Viz: \ Poland China*"Bull good as new; 7 milch cows, 2 of which are bulls; 2 fall cows and 3 that never fell; 1 Plymouth"Rock calf, will have peepies by day of sale if weather permits; Brown Leghorn pigs with their golden "hair hanging down their backs; 1 old:fash.iohed wood saw with .directions for use; i triple expansion patent lever bicycle with full jeweled mud guards; 1 sky pink sulky plow will be fresh by time of sale 7 forks, 3 of - which are equipped with fly net attachments; a lot broad and narrow horses; ' 1 Berkshire wheelbarrow geared 120, can trot pace or gallop; 27 dappled grey chickens with high water breed; -1 Jagger wagon with the jaggers broken off; 2 falling "top buggies and 1 on which the top has fell; 1 large Oliver Chilled hand roller with Valentine flanges; 1 fine cherry back Jassak with open-faced'"countenance and a splendid boxer;'; 1 -double breasted cupboard, fleece'lined;-- 1 stationary bake oven; 2 fine hand pa'inted'hand bobsleds patent automatic cut-off; 1 patent adjustable cross-eyed fountain pen, just.the .thing for a left-handed .man; 1 collared dog constructed on the grasshopped'style; and rather heavy set; 5 fine goats, 2 of which "do excellent work, 2 are willies with red whiskers, and.they are' all very strong. ��������� . .

Mysteries in the production of gasoline, coal oil, fuel oil, "naptha, benzine and other products of the crude oil are readily penetrated by visitors to loco, the site on the North shore of Burrard*Inlet of the great plaift of the Imperial Oil Company, Port Moody's latest industry. The dearing'of the. site which is 83 acres in area', and the construct-:, ion of the plant up to the present stage, have cost approximately one million and a quarter dollars, having occupied practically all of the past year. An additional plant for manufacturing of lubricating oils, is now under way. The crude oil is brought from Peru in tank steamers having a capacity of over two million gallons Three of these steamers may berth simultaneously at the wharf, where there is a minimum draft of over thirty feet. Pumped from the ships the oil passes through a 12-inch pipe line to the dock pump house where it is forced up the hill by two electric pumps of a capacity of 25,000 gallons per minute, from the storage tanks one of which is the largest in Canada being 115 feet in diameter by 35 feet high with a capacity of 2 1-4 million gallons, the crude oil is passed through a battery of stills, where it is subjected to heat and the vapors driven off. The various grades of oil are then run into the agitator where they are tested with acid. The.finished products are stored in large shipping tanks where " they can be shipped in bulk by steamers or in tank cars by the C. P.
