The King read his speech, and by the emphasis laid on his words and the gravity of his manner 'whilst referring to the Irish situation showed iVa that he realized the extreme seriousness i of the I) situation. '���������[:.������������������: We refuse to believe that a way wilknot yet ::,W found to avoid the impending disaster, but as the: days go by without the first sign of giving way on either side every well wisher of the Empire must feel concern. It is not an easy question; for the Britisher outside'the immediate contestants of Protestant and Roman Catholic Ireland, to decide. On the one side there is the very evident principle of the ^"rule of the majority," which the Britisher has so valiantly fought for and with very many Brit- ^ishers outside of Ulster this has an ever increasing ^influence. On the other side there is *' Loyal ���������Ulster," who declares and believes in its very soul that Home Rule is but the first step to separation from the Empire, and who is determined not to be put out of the Empire without resorting to the last resource open to strong and brave men. At the present time therg is no solution in sight. Roman Catholic Ireland j%-aj| certain to resist exclusion of Ulster as Ulsteris to resist what she believes to be disruption of the Empire, and all thinking men and wpmen view with gravity the approach of the day when either party in Ireland will be put to the final -test of their If pledges and covenants. Ulster has ^00,000 trained and. armed men led���������-it is openly stated���������by officers of the British army. Romanist Ireland relies on the British army to enforce Home Rule when passed, but we refuse to believe that the King's soldiers will fire upon the men who fight because,, they declare II the Empire is in danger.

' v. ������������������. : : '> The Western Call is not troubled with agnosticism. It believes in the revealed God and His Wordvgiven through men of old separated to the task, who spoke and wrote as they were inbreathed of God. And yet The Western Call���������Believer���������finds itself in complete accord with Cecil Rhodes, reputed agnostic, as far as God's plan for the British Empire is concerned. Note���������We do not believe that ��������� the British Empire is necessary to God's earthly plahs any more than were Israel and Judah of old, although deliberately chosen for God's purposes, but we do believe that God has been and is using the British Empire for governmental purposes on this earth, and will continue-to do so as long as the British people retain that measure of godliness and righteousness that has been their portion in the past. Should the British people turn from God and righteousness we believe they will be cast off as God cast off Judah and Roman and Spanish and Frankish Empires, all of which God has mightily used to further His plans and purpose^ upon thi^ earth. The Western Call stands, therefore, for everything that will help the British Empire to sustain righteousness twixt man and man and good government among the nations. This is a large order, but open confession is good for the soul, and a plain straightforward utterance helps to cement friendships and commends the respect even of enemies. . Further, The Western Call believes that Canada has a capital part to play in the future of the British Empire, and as our lot is cast in perhaps the most stragetic point of Canada our view point will be steadfastly along the line that Canada can play in this weird world drama that is so rapidly unveiling before our eyes. ./....

C. ELECTRIC AND SOUTH VANCOUVER. A strong effort is bejng made to get the B. C. Electric to give a 5-cent ^straight fare to South Vancouver people, and Thus abolish all settlers' tickets for that .municipality. We believe this would largely increase the travel and tend to allay much of the feeling against tbe Company. There is also a move to increase the car service on Victoria road, which, at rush hours, is badly overcrowded; but we believe a better arrangement would be to put two more cars on Earl's Road Line and run same through to Main street and Seventh, [thus giving CollingAVood a 15-minute through service and relieving the Victoria road car of its pressure as well. H. H. STEVENS, P. INTRODUCES NEW BILL -przrz. -r A private bill that has created-unusual interest has been introduced by Mr. H. H. Stevens, Domin- '. ion. member for Vancouver. His measure is en* titled "a bill to amend the Money Lenders1 Act.*' .and since the announcement that he intends to ~ introduce the bill he has been receiving a num.- '" ber of inquiries and suggestions from'all parts of ��������� .Canada. \ v One important change in the act whichv Mr. Stevens proposes is in regard to the definition of a money lender. Under the act as it now stands, - a money lender is described as one who carries on the business of money lending or makes a practice of it. Mr.- Stevens has substituted the following clause: <~ >. ''Money lending in this act includes any person who lends money, or advertises, or announces himself, or holds himself out in any way as being a lender of money." The act at present does not apply to' the Yukon. This clause is repealed and the act is made applicable to the Yukon as well as the rest of Canada. - Now the law is applicable only to sums of over- $590. By the amendments proposed V Mr. Steven*., t^e act^wuT apply to all loans no matter how! s������(ill.r> In addition Mr. Stevens re- , duces the legal maximum rate of interest from 12 to 10 per cent. The clause is as follows: "Notwithstanding the provisions of the In-; terest Act, no money lender shall stipulate fo., allow of exaction any negotiable instrument, con-. tract or agreement, concerning a loan of money a.rate of interest or discount greater than 10 per cent per annum;' and the said rate of interest shall be reduced to the rate of 5 per cent per annum from the date of the judgment in any suit, action or other proceeding for the recovery of the amount due." THU FUTUWB OF THE LOWER FRASER By Prof. E. Odium. No roan can doubf the splendid future of the Fraser River Valley, from Hope to the Salt Sea, unless he be ignorant of the fertility of its soil, its superb climate, and favorable location. The urban population of this fine agricultural and horticultural area is already fully 200,000, and the increase will be very rapid in the future. 'The varied products,-to come from the ground, when every acre is cleared, tilled and properly ^cultlxa^ not more. Hence as numbers increase and the demands for every sort of earth-products multiply great advantage will accrue to the owners and tillers of the aforesaid lands. Every acre of arable ground* even up to an altitude of 2,000 or 3,000 feet, will be called in requisition as time passes. In the meantime, those who own these lands should do everything psosible to put them into a producing condition. The B. C.E. Railway Company has performed wonders in their extended lines through the Fraser Valley, as far east as Chilliwack. The convenience and, advantages to the farming and other rural community are of inestimable value. This company is doing its duty as a country builder. It is up to the rural population to face the hard, dirty work of clearing the land and getting into condition to compete with the State of Washington and other producing centers for an ever increasing table clientage. The people must eat, and the food must come from somewhere. Hence the 'Frascrites -would do well to use every energy to supply the growing demand, and great good, comfort and riches will be derived therefrom. STATUTORY WEEKLY HALF HOLIDAY. The New Westminster Retail Merchants' Association went on record last week as favoring a Statutory Weekly Half Holiday and the compulsory closing of stores at 6 o'clock, except on' evenftigs preceding holidays. MAZZINI MINOR Home Rule for Ireland. Canadians who are foolish enough to favor the present scheme of Irish Home Rule should read Mazzici Minor's Booklet on "Home Rule for Ireland." If any man can read this production and then favor Asquith's Bill, he must be very obtuse, or" ignorant, or a hater of the Empire and Protestantism. This Booklet can be had in Thomson's Book Store and other book shops in Vancouver for the sum of twenty-five cents. The author is a British Columbian, of high scholarship, and one of the best-travelled gentlemen in Vancouver. ���������';.4| "M ;>��������� t *M '.t'^Tv-, .'t1 f .* -,lv rf ^?1 ;������ i- "f 'i* J*- f'i 'V I; ..V-;'.*V, V���������/.'.r,,ri=S>,^ 2 IE WESTERN CALL PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY BY THE TERMINAL CITY PRESS, LTD. HEAD OFFICE: 203 Kingsway, Vancouver Telephone Fairmont 1140 Subaorlntlons One Dollar m Year In Advance Ye Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free. 1914. Dr. Aked, pastor of First Congregational church and President of the Church Federation of San Francisco, has become a storm center in the religious circles of the city of the Golden Gate. Dr. Aked, according to his own profession, does not believe in the miraculous conception of Christ, and has stated so publicly in a sermon, and re-asserted it when questioned by the press. More than that, he asserts that neither Mark, John, James or Paul ever said anything about Jesus having eome into the world in a miraculous way. Of course, as far as mere words are concerned, this has an appearance' of truth, but how anyone, outside of a mad house,'can hope to sustain such a position, even in these days of ultra license as regards doctrinal teaching, goes beyond us. In consequence of this public utterance of the president of the Church Federation, openly avowed and upheld by the Doctor in the public press, the Presbyterian Ministerial Association of San Francisco has sent to the Federation the following letter: "While freely > according to all the right to fullest liberty to worship God according to the dictates of their consciences, we believe that the statements of his beliefs as given in the daily Eress by Rev. C. F. Aked, thoroughly disqualify im to act as the official representative of the Evangelical churches of San Francisco. . "Therefore be it resolved, that the executive committee of the Church Federation be requested to suggest to Dr. Aked the wisdom and justice of his retirement from the presidency of the Church Federation, and, in the event this is not secured, that as a protest against such leadership, the Presbyterian churches of the city be advised to withdraw from connection with the federation." Dr. Aked, as chairman ex-officio of all com-, mittees, will be called to preside when this letter js read. He seems to like such situation*. Dr. Aked's reputation in Liverpool years ago was that of an outspoken Unitarian. Why he should, seek to force himself upon the Evangelicals, and cause such repeated flutterings in the dove cotes, ^ is one of these things, as Lord Dundreary used to say, "No fellow can understand." "There is only one man who can escape criticism, and that is the man who has done nothing." Courage cors^sts not in blindly overlooking danger, but' in meeting it with the eyes open.���������Richter. v THE WESTERN CALL. Friday, February IS, 1914 BISHOP POTTER'S FOLLY $1,000,000 TO BUILD NAVE. Novel Campaign Is Begun in New York for St. John Cathedral. New York.���������A novel campaign to raise $1,- 000,000 to be used in building the nave of the cathedral of St. John, the Divine, was begun yesterday, when one hundred men and women each undertook to obtain pledges for $10,000. The campaign will probably cover a period of six months, although Bishop Greer announced that there would be no time limit. Of the $1,000,000 fund, contributions of $81,- 000 have already been made. Millions and millions have already gone into this movement of priestly folly, and yet it is con- vincely said in the Good Book that "God dwell- eth not in Temples made with hands." A good story is told of Moody and Sanky's visit to York. Whilst seeing tbe min'ster, the verger was pointing out the beauty spots, expiating on the length and breadth of aisle and transept, when Sankey interposed abruptly. "How many conversions did you have here last year?" "Conversions, sir! Do ye take this for a Methodist chapelt" But, alas, for the day��������� the Methodists, whose very existence is due to a protest against such things, are now very much engaged in cathedral building, although they have not yet adopted the name. THE PRICE HE PAID. I said I would have my fling, And do what a young man may; And I didn't believe a thing That the parsons have to.say. I didn't believe in God That gives us blood like fire, Then flings us into hell because x We answer the call of desire. n:A; And I said: "Religion is rot, And the laws of the world are For the bad man is he who is caught And cannot foot his bill. And there is no place called hell; And heaven is only a truth, When a man has his way with a maid, In the fresh keen hour of youth. "And money can buy us grace, If it rings on the plate of the church; And money can neatly erase, Each sign of a sinful smirch.'' For I saw men everywhere. Hotfooting the road of vice; And women and preachers smiled on them As long as they paid the price. So I had my joy of life:' I went the pace of the town; And then I took me a wife, And started to settle down'. i ������������������" I had gold enough and to spare For all of the simple joys That belong with a house and a home And a brood of girls and boys. I married a girl with health And virtue and spotless fame, I gave in exchange my wealth And a proud old family name. And I gave her the love of a heart Grown sated and sick of sin! My deal with the devil was all cleaned up, . And the .last bill handed in. She was going to bring me a child, And when in'labor she cried, With love and fear I was wild��������� But now I wish she had died. For the son she bore me was blind And crippled and weak-and sore!--- And his mother was^left a wreck, It was so she settled my score. I said I must have my fling, And they knew the path I would go; Yet no one told me a thing Of what I needed to know. Folks talk too much of a soul From heavenly joys debarred��������� And not enough of the babes unborn, By the sins of their fathers scarred. ���������By Ella Wheeler Wilcox. exsszzzi, ... THE...

PARCEL POST RATES AND REGULATIONS The parcel post has now gone into effect all over Canada, and will be a great convenience to vast numbers of people all over our land. In preparing the schedule of prices to be charged Hon. H. L. Pelletier, postmaster-general, has decided on the zone system, on account of the great area and the comparatively sparse population of the Dominion. Zone~ System. If a flat rate were fixed that would not entail too great a loss to the department in carrying parcels from one end of the Dominion to the other, or even from the center provinces to the extreme east or western end, the rate would be too high for comparatively short distances, or even between points within the same province and the only practical plan appeared to be the zone system, under which the rates are graduated according to the distance. On account of the geographical position of the provinces of Canada, and their being approximately the same size where the three Maritime provinces are considered as one, it was found that the provincial boundaries would be the most convenient to adopt as the limits of the zones, and consequently, the rates were fixed by provinces. This makes the system a very simple one, much easier to follow than the zone system based upon mileage alone. The first rate is 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound of fraction thereof, up to four pounds, and 2 cents for each subsequent pound up_ to eleven pounds, within a radius of twenty miles from_the place of mailing," ir= respective of provincial boundaries. This is to give local merchants an advantage within their own neighborhood, and also farmers and gardeners who can use the mails for sending produce to their local market at a low rate. A parcel of eleven pounds can be sent twenty miles for 2 cents a pound, and this should give the farmers a decided advantage in marketing eggs and other perishable matter. It will also give a decided advantage to t.the country merchant over the departmental store. The former can send out goods in parcels up to eleven pounds to his customers at 2 cents a pound, while if the same- goods were ordered from a departmental store or any other business concern more than twenty miles distant it would cost about 5 cents a pound for postage. The next rate is fixed for the province in which ari^ article is mailed, the first pound to be 10 cents and each additional pound 4 cents.' The cost of handling a one-pound parcel is approximately the same as that of two or three pounds, and consequently it was necessary to fix a minimum rate for the first pound considerably higher .than the average rate for the additional pounds included in tbe weight of the parcel. Beyond Province. For an adjacent province the rate of 10 cents for the first pound will apply but for .each additional pound an extra charge of 2 cents will be imposed, making the rate 10 cents for the first pound and 6 cents for each additional pound. Beyond the province adjoining the one,. in which parcel is mailed an additional 2 cents a pound will be imposed for each province that has to be crossed to the destination of parcel up to a maximum charge of 12 cents a pound.

When an advertiser advertises he wants to reach the people. Patronage is needed to make a business a success. In having a name and business always before the public, or the name of a specially named product, buyers have it in mind when that kind of a thing is wanted. If the ad. is in a handy place, only a moment is needed to refer to it. What better medium is there than the telephone directory ? An advertiser wants circulation, and he gets it. Thirty-one thousand directories are issued, and they go into every home that does considerable buying between Agassiz and the Gulf of Georgia. Every part of the district is covered. An advertiser appreciates a medium that is in constant use. The directory is used an average of eight times per subscriber per day, or over 200,000 times every twenty-four hours. These figures are not guessed at, but are ascertained by actual count each, month. Moreover, the directory is never discarded. It is referred to' unceasingly, and man, woman and child soon gets familiar with the names prominently displayed therein. ' ��������� An advertiser wants to make sure he is reaching the people he wants. Who is there who does not consult a telephone directory some time during the day ? If a firm's name is displayed on several consecutive pages at the top or bottom, or if the name of a special article were shown there, would it not soon be known in every household on the Lower Mainland of British Columbia ? If you have something to market, if you want to reach ���������' all the people all the time, take a look at the directory. It is a particularly good medium for most purposes, and very probably ii will be just what you want. Ford, Ont.���������Figures which have been furnished to dealers and salesmen-' show the healthy condition of the Ford Motor Company's 'business, both in Canada and the United States, by citing both shipments and orders on hand far in excess of conditions a year ago. Up to January 1st, before the end of the first quarter of the 1914 production season, the Walkerville factory had shippeu 72 per cent more cars than during the same period in the preceding season, and orders on file for immediate shipment were more than 150 per cent greater than at the same time in the previous year. In the same period, the Detroit factory's shipments showed an increase of more than SO per cent and in addition 120,000 car orders on hand. At the time these figures were com- piled, the Canadian factory was shipping 80 cars daily, with prospects of soon attaining the 100 a day mark. Employes in the Walkerville plant at that time numbered 1300 and 200 in the Canadian branches, 'as against 572 men^ in the plant and 1000 in the branches the previous year. It is expected that 1800 to 2000 men will be employed in the plant later in the' year. ' Production plans of the Canadian factory estimate an output of 20,000 to 25,000 cars for the 1914 season. ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� YARROW'S YARDS BUSY Much Important Repair Work Done 'at Esquimalt by, New Owners of B.

He pointed out, how* ever, that financial conditions did not warrant any extensive changes at the present time. The reeve and council yesterday waited upon the management of the B. C. E. R. Company with a request for increased transportation facilities on Main street south, Kingeway and Victoria road; also to ask for the abolition of the settlers' tickets and the establishment of a straight 5 cent fare between South Vancouver and Vancouver. Mr. Glover informed the delegation that so far as the service on Victoria road was concerned, the company had already had that matter under consideration, and in a short time the service would be augmented so that passengers from Collingwood would at no time have to wait at Victoria road more than four minutes for a car to the city. With reference to a through service on Main street, Mr. Glover pointed out that the present service does not pay from Twenty-fifth avenue south to the River road, and until the traffic warranted it the matter would have to,be laid over. In regard to the abolition of the settlers' tickets it was stated that the matter is under consideration, and a system may be adopted whereby residents in South Vancouver will be able to have the advantage of a 5-cent straight fare without having to spend 50 cents on a settlers' ticket. * * ��������� Mr. H. B, A. Vogel, secretary of the North Fraser harbor commision, told the Province that a movement is on foot to form a boating club on the North Arm of the Fraser and that he would be pleased to get into touch with those interested. He suggests that boating clubs be formed in Point Grey, Richmond, South Vancouver and Burnaby, and that during the summer months rowing competitions be arranged among the members of the clubs.

Plans for the extension of this course were completed at a faculty meeting at the school recently, says the Chronicle.

Under the new plan it will be made a major subject, in which pupils may specialize for practical work after high school, or in preparation for a more complete course. Collingwood.���������There was an excellent attendance at the annual meeting of the Collingwood and District Men's Association. Mr. Martin, the secretary, reviewing the work done by the association during the past few months, said there had been a great improvement in many things around Collingwood; the association' had more than justified its existance. They had not been able to induce the' B. C. E Railway to build new stations���������badly needed at , Collingwood���������but they had been able to get the freight trains to go through the district at a rate of speed compatible with safety at the level crossings. Mr. Martin regrets that on account of other engagements he would have to resign the position of secretary. The resignation was accepted and Mr. Martin was heartily thanked for his past services. Mr. Orrel wiH act as secretary in future. Mr. Pringle was elected president and Mr. W. H. Kent vice-president. Several new members were elected. Favorable attention was drawn to the airangements made for supplying the school children with hot lunches. The society arranged to give, at an early date, a concert for the benefit of the School Dinners' Fund, as work is scarce and some distress prevails round Collingwood. The association adjourned to meet again in a fortnight at the Bursill library, meanwhile a strong committee will make arrangemnts for the concert.

MANUFACTURERS TO PROTEST TO PREMIER Will Tell Sir Richard How Peeved They Feel Qver American Preference The local, manufacturers are very dissatisfied with the way in which they have been treated by Sir Richard^ McBride and the provincial government, and as^a result the Manufacturers' Association of Britisfi Columbia is sending a deputation to see the Premier on Tuesday of next week. The particular matter that they are going down to talk about is the fact that American .electric light fixtures are being used in the additions to the local courthouse and the parliament buildings in Victoria. This matter was taken up with Sir Richard some time ago, as reported in the World. But in spite of the fact that he wired the local association, stating that he was looking into the matter, two weeks have gone by without any action being taken. The mattufacturerSjOf B. C. state that they are turning out just as good fixtures as the American Company that is, getting the contract, and supply them at just as good a price, and do not see why they should be-discriminated against by the government of the country, they are helping to upbuild. Another thing that makes them doubly angry is the fact that Sir Richard McBride and all the ministers promised some time ago to do everything in their power to" help the local industries, and now when they have the chance to stay by their word they immediately turn to an American firm. , The deputation which will se Sir Richard and try and find out bis reasons for discriminating against the British Columbia. manufacturers is headed by tbe president, Mr. F. T. Cope, who will be backed by Mr- J�� J. Morrison, first vice- president; Mr. John Duncan, second vice-president j of New Westminster; Mr. J. C. Pendray, of Victoria; Messrs. John Hanbury, E. G.

An American almanac, ion the contray, tells us that the population of New York is 5,173,064, and [that of London 7,252,963.

The .extent and variety of British Columbia's minerals are as yet practically unknown, and mining, as an industry, is in its earliest infancy. While" the deposits of gold,, silver, copper, ~ lead, coal,' lime, building alone, etc., are being exploited to a certain extent and are annually producing wealth- amounting to over thirty millions of dollars, there are other minerals discovered from time to time, and the next generation may see the variety of profitable metals and minerals doubled in number. While new discoveries are being made, there are other deposits the existence of which has been known for some time, but which have not become producers because of the lack of transportation facilities . Among these is the vast deposit of carbonate of soda underlying the "soda lakes" and adjacent territory in the Cariboo country. These lakes , have become^ impregnated with the mineral to the point of a saturated solution through seepage, and have excited the interest of scientists for a generation or more.

Situated within two miles of the old Cariboo wagon road, about sixty miles north of Ashcroft, their existence has been no secret since white men first penetrated that country, but because the product could not be taken to market -except at the expense of a long wagon haul on top of the railroad charges, they have been allowed to lie dormant. This condition, however, will soon be changed. The sodium deposits have been secured by a local syndicate, who intend to commence active development with the advent of spring, and by the time the Pacific Great Eastern railway reached the vicinity next fall it is expected that shipments of the product will at once begin. In the early eighties the late Dr. Dawson, perhaps the greatest authority^on minerals^ everoperating in" CanadaT andTwho spent the greater part of his lifetime in the geological survey of the Dominion, reported on these lakes, spending several weeks in ; examining them, and their surroundings. He expressed the opinion that underlying these lakes is an enormous vein or deposit consisting a foundation of one of the salts of potassium, which is capped By ..the carbonate of soda. Owing to the action of the water through continual mass produced ten pounds of crystals. The ice forms,"every winter to an average depth of fourteen inches, and as the larger of the lakes is slightly over 50 acres in area, a simple arithmetical calculation shows that this one lake will produce each winter about 21,000 tons of the pure carbonate of soda, and assuming that the net profit from this product would be only $5 per ton, the possibilities > of the proposition may be readily seen, even though operations were confined only to removing the crop which nature annually provides. ^Industry on Large Scale. The one drawback to operating the deposits in this manner lies in the fact that a continuous crop of ice and soda is not supplied, and it is the intention to locate the deposit either by diamond drilling or by shafts, and work continuously on a large scale. In fact if all the plans of the promoters materialize there will, before many years, be employment for such a number of hands as ��������� to make this industry the largest employer of labor in the province. Carbonate of soda is one of the most widely used minerals in the universe. It enters into the composition of soap and washing powders, is indispensrble to cyaniding and other gold saving plants, pulp and paper mills, and in fact in nearly every kind and description of manufacturing institution, as well as being used in the manufacture of glass. With the advent of the P. G. E. railway, which passes within two miles of the deposit, It is more than probable that an industrial city of some magnitude will grow around the works which It is proposed to instal. Germany is the only exporter of commercial potash, and the deposits in that country exist at considerable depth beneath the surface, making the product more or less 'expensive to secure.--' The German exports amount to $7,000,000 annually, and if the theory ",of the late - Dr. Dawson is found to be correct, that the carbonate of soda is underlaid by sodium deposits, a large proportion of thifr money will soon be coming to British Columbia instead of crossing the ocean. While Dr. Dawson , stands so .high in the profession that his opinion; need no corboration, it,is a fact that other geological experts of this city agree with him on this point, "so-the_chances for the development of a potassium industry in conjunction with the .carbonate of soda are extremely favorable. seepage as well as certain chemical reactions, the lakes have become keepers are making a move to be first NEW $TfHKMN WIN Richer than Shushana, is the verdict on the new strike at O'Donneli's creek, in the Atlin country, where, according to reports which have just reached this city, four and five ounces to the pan have been taken out.

Victorfa.���������That radium 'may eventually play some part in1 the mineral production of British Columbia is evidenced by the announcement made today by the Premier that steps will be taken to reserve all deposits of this ultra-precious' element for the government. "This matter has been under consideration for some time," said Sir Richard McBride, "and it is possible that legislation may be introduced during the present session to reserve all radio active ores for the exclusive use of the people of the province. Even if legislation is not brought in at the present session the matter will be thoroughly discussed with a view to taking active steps in the near fu- ture." The action taken by the government in the matter will'be in the line with the practice of several European governments who have refused to allow exportation of this metal. Radium today is by far the most valuable substance known to the scientific world in point of cost being valued at approximately $2,500,000 an ounce, and in order to extract even a milligramme of the metal 'many tons- of ore have to be treated. The main sources of supply are found in Cornwall) England, and in Hungary, although small quantities of the metal have been extracted from ores in Denver. It is said that one of the factors that has induced the government to take immediate action in the matter is the reported discovery of traces of helium and uranium with which radium is chemically allied in certain ores brought down from the Peace River country. ~ -> -VI 1 WT ���������'-a| j Alount Pleasant Livery TRANSFER Furniture and Piano Moving: Baggage, Express and Dray.

Dominion government oil experts are to be sent to British Columbia to make examinations of the various oil discoveries which have been made herei. News of this was communicated yesterday to several companies who have obtained leases of oil lands in different parts of the province. These were asked to sent to Ottawa what information wa* in their possession regaling the * fields in which, they, are interested. They were also asked to make reports on what work they have done,- what improvements had been * made and report also on the indications of oil as shown as work progressed. It is explained that his season the government geological department, which has carried its inspection of general mining districts to such a point tha������ accurate information regarding almost any section of the Dominion is now available, intends to proceed to obtain reports by its geologist on the oil lands of the country. B. C. Oil Discoveries. Several important oil discoveries have been made in British Columbia, most notably those on Graham island, the largest of the Queen Charlotte group. _^Qn ,_the ^.rock ^ ;bpund ^ahd- storm swept west coast of this island oil 'far exudes, natural parafin wax is found in most unlikely places, the rocks are saturated with oil and tar and burn readily on that account, the formations are good for indications of oil, but the drills at work thus far have not yet obtained sufficient depth to tap the flow. ���������. .'��������� ' The government has had reports on this field before, but nothing of late, nor anything particularly detailed from a geological standpoint. There are several other places in the province where indications of oil are strong. The British government is particularly anxious at this time to find oil on British soil. Mexico and-California at present are the large producers of fuel oil, and this is the character of oil most largely sought as fuel oil. It is. fast taking the place of coal in the shipping world, and also in the furnishing of the power for warlike vessels. The fact that the Standard Oil interests will soon locate a refinery on Burrard inlet, and in this connection will endeavor to obtain possession of such oil lands as are proven, is lending a great deal of activity to the efforts to discover the flows. Government experts last fall examined the discoveries in the vicinity of Edmonton. Attention this season is to be devoted to British Columbia.

To thai eastward a steamer with two funnels was Just coming into range. The- white aaila of a coasting schooner showed to westward. Trailing la our wake waa oar squalid salvage, tbe dory ot tbe fisherman. MacLeod, trained to coolness, retained his wits. Systematically he set to work. Likely and unlikely places aboard the yacht were looked Into. Before I knew wbat he was about, we were going back over the way we had come with the searchlight swinging in a circle and a half- dozen sharp-eyed seamen scanning jevery square foot of rolling wave. "I can't understand it," I kept re- beating aloud, with Benseless iteration. p*I can't understand it." I was standing alone, well forward, leaning over the rail. Presently MacLeod laid a hand on. my shoulder. \ "We can't do anything more than fwe are doing, Mr. Clyde," he said ln Shis matter-of-fact way. "For my part, 1 can't understand it, either; but since Mr. Cameron's not aboard, there's jonly one conclusion, and that la that |he's overboard. And since there was ino one interested In throwing him [there, then it seems very clear that ihe must have Jumped." , , "Jumped!" I cried. In Irritation. ("My God, man! Don't I tell you that I waa not three feet away from him, jand only for a minute or two? How could he have Jumped'without my (hearing .him? How could he even fhave got out of his chair, without my Shearing him?" , The captain shrugged hla shoulders. /"There's-no other explanation," he decided, conclusively. "Ton mean he committed suicide?" "Call It what you like, air." "But there was no reason for him to do such a thing," I objected. "I understand he'a been pretty 111, Wr." "He was ill, yes. But be was on the Toad to recovery." And then, with the realisation that X waa speaking of fiifi not start.' ~e simply narroweoT "his" eyes ln thought. "That's odd," he said, gravely; "damned odd." And then, after a second's consideration, he asked: "Was that���������but of course It was���������why he took this cruise?" "No," I told him. "That was not his reason; though it was mine." I did not mean to be enigmatic, but I suppose I was, for MacLeod showed plainly enough that be failed to understand. "You see," I went on, ln elucidation, "Mr. Cameron did not know about this last threat. He was HI when the letter came, and we kept It from him " It was evident to me that the captain disapproved, but he held his peace. "What were the previous threats?" he aBked, presently. "Nothing definite," I answered. "Simply that on certain fixed days the writers would demonstrate their power." "And did they?" "Most marvelously." Again MacLeod was silent for a space. "Under the circumstances, Mr. Clyde, don't you think it would have been better if you'd told me about this?" "Mr. Cameron was very anxious that no one should knbw." The captain compassed his right knee with his locked hands. "All the Bame," he said, "he'd never have been spirited off this yacht if I'd a' known what was in the wind." This statement annoyed me, and I resented it \ "What could you have done?" I asked. "I was with him almost continuously." There came a strange, half-meditative, half-bold look ln the man's eyes, and I was wondering what it portended, when, quite Ignoring my question, he began speaking: "You see there oughtn't to be any misunderstanding between you and me, air. This is too serious a busi- /tog, "you certainly cannot for a mo������ ment suspect me of complicity." He stood up, too; imperturbable. "I Just want; those things explained*i that's all," was his reply. ; "And I can't explain them,*' I told him, candidly. "You say you saw the boat. I didn't. You say it was after ;midnight when I came to you. It; ���������may have been. I don't know. It ,may have been nearer twelve, when X\ went to the rail. My impression is| that it was not. I'll admit it Is mysterious. The whole- awful thing 1st ;mysterious." My candor seemed to relieve him. "Well, Mr. Clyde," he said, with! equal sincerity, "maybe I waa out-; spoken, but I wanted to know wbatj you'd say to the points that werei Ipuaxllng me." "You did perfectly right," I told him.

He looked at me as if he thought I was gone suddenly loony. 'Before the watch changed?" he asked. I nodded. 'Not a soul came or went,' he said, 'since I been here.'" "And the boat without lights?" I questioned. "Did you inquire about her? Who else saw her?" "I asked the lookouts; but���������well, no, sir���������and that's very strange to me ������������������neither of them saw her. I gave them both a rating. If they weren't asleep I don't see how they could have missed her." Tbe thing was growing more, and more baffling. MacLeod was the last man to be accused of Imaginative fancies. He was thoroughly, ln earnest in What he had told me; and yet for neither of his statements bad be the ���������pared myself a goodly share of dls- itress. .' ��������� . I Imagined I knew Evelyn Grayson,1 'before this. I thought I had sounded the profundities of her fortitude and| courage on the night that I spread be-; tore her and read with her that third! and last letter. But my fancy did her] an injustice. She was even more of; a woman than I dreamed. Recently I chanced upon these lines, by Thomas Dunn English, which must [have been inspired by such a one aa ahe:' So much is clear, . Though little danger* they may fear, When greater perils men environ. Then women show a front of iron; And, gentle in their manner, they Do hold things In a quiet way./ Evelyn Grayson did a bold thing in, a quiet way that morning. I have not yet' forgotten how marble white she was, and yet how bravely she came,! With springing step and lifted chin: and fearless eyes. I had waited her coming in the music room, with Its score of reminders of happy evenings, in which he had participated. -.The'v. chair be usually chose, in the corner,, hear the great bow: window against which the east 'wind was now driving, the rain in gusty splashes, took on a! pathos which moved me to weakness. The Baudelaire lyric, spread open- paged upon the music rack of the piano, stirred memories scarcely, less; harrowing. A photograph, an' ash tray, a paper knife, all commonplace objects of themselves,-but so linked to him by association, became, suddenly, Instruments of emotional torture. In this environment, under' these influences, I rose to meet her, wordless. Yet my expression and attitude must have spoken loudly enough to confirm the dread that was in her heart, for even before she spoke I waa sure that she knew. And then.she Cameron in tbe past tense, aa though ness to be bungled because J am only smallest corroboration. For my own i pad taken my two outstretched hands captain of this yacht and you are the owner's friend. So, if I speak plainly, sir, you'll understand why, and not think me disrespectful" I smiled to reassure him, still puzzled, and added: "Go straight ahead, captain. You are perfectly right." "Well," he began. "Ill tell you, Mr. Clyde. Your story, as you told it to me, has some weak points in it. You say, for instance, that you were with Mr. Cameron almost continuously. Now I'm hot mentioning the little while you, were in here, early in tbe evening, but during the last quarter, jjjoine either.'' of an hour before you gave the alarm, you weren't with him, either." I stared at the speaker for an instant in absolute dumb amaze. "I don't know why you say that," I said, at length, more hurt than angered. "I, told you that from the moment I last spoke to him, seated be- Blde him there on tbeafter-deck, until I turned from the rail and found him gone, not more than two minutes elapsed. And that waa God's truth." 'Ton said you were listening for wbat you thought sounded like a mo* tor boat, didn't you?" "I did." "And you were leaning over tbe taff- rall, looking for It, weren't you?" "I was." "But you didn't see It?" "No, I didn't see it; and I couldn't hear it after the first few seconds." Tbe captain had fixed a gaze on me that seemed aimed to penetrate to my| bouI'b fiber. After my answer he wasi \ silent a moment. Then he said: "Where were you, Mr. Clyde, when; that boat���������motor, tug, or whatever; she was���������crossed within ten feet of the dory we are towing?" Had he struck me ln the face I could not have been more dumfound- ed. part I waa sure that, at the time he mentioned, no vessel of any description,'bad passed anywhere near ha:' "What did you make tbe craft out to be?" ( "Well, air, l' couldn't aay exactly. She waa in sight only a minute, coming in range of our own lights. She I Hooked more like a tug than anything ' else; but she had more speed than < iany tug I ever saw. She hadn't the , Jlnea of a yacht." "She wasn't a pilot boat?" j "Oh, no, sir. New York pilot* don'* ! isrulse this far east, and the Boston pilots wouldn't be so far away from jit were already settled that I should {never ������ee him alive again, a shiver of horror awept over me. I know MacLeod observed it, for he said: "There'a been a drop in the temperature, in tbe last half-hour. It'll be more comfortable In my cabin, sir, if you don't mind coming in, and talking the thing over a bit." "Good Heavens, MacLeod," I exclaimed, turning on him with nervous savagery, "do you expect me to sit down and talk calmly at such a moment? I can't It's all I can do to stand "till here, for a minute at a time. I feel I must do something. It* torture to have one's hands tied this way." "J think I know how you feel, sir. But walking tbe deck will do no good, ���������nd if you could calm yourself enough to talk it over quietly, we might get down to something that would,guide jit, so to apeak." , j "Guide us?" I repeated. "Yes, sir. It's not impossible, yon know, sir, that when he went overboard he, waa picked up." The light from his cabin porthole, illuminated us both, and now as he looked at me he must have seen my [perplexity. "You said yourself, sir," he ex* {plained, "that you thought you heard" (the exhaust of some sort o' craft not) ������ar away." . It waa this reminder, I think, wbichi brought back my wool-gathering witsi and steadied me to a perception of the; real Importance of the captain's plea.; Of one thing, at least, I was assured: Cameron was not a suicide. How he could have gone over the taHrall without my seeing or bearing him, I should never be able to understand. But gone) he was, and it lay upon me to dls-i cover by whose assistance this mars velous disappearance was accomplished. And so It came about that,'; controlling my futile unrest, I was) presently seated In MacLeod's swivel1 chair, while he, from a place on the* jrtde of his berth, fired pointed quetH jtlons at me, which I either answered1 aa best I could or returned ln kind. "Now maybe it's none of my business, Mr. Clyde, but ln view of tonight's occurrence I think it's pertl- _ nent to know why there was such a myself���������just a black shape, without engines, had eluded "our pursuit on jthorough inspection of the Sibylla be- lights, and her exhaust muffled, just |tbe night of Cameron's disappearance, ln hers and raised her brave eyes to mine, and low-voiced, but sure and tremorless, was saying: "I feared it, Philip. Prom the very first, I feared it." And when I told her all, to the smallest detail. It was as though she letters." "Find out what?" I asked in astonishment. ' ; '' _. "Find out what manner of man wrote them," she amplified. "But how can you?" I inquired. "That seems a pretty big undertaking of itself, for one so small." * "I have thought of a way," she declared, noncommlttally. "And what am I to do?" was my next question, feeling miserably small beside this efficient child: "You must give me the letter you have, and help me look for the others." The first part of the command was easy enough of obedience; for the letter was in my pocket at the moment. But my assistance in searching for the first two communications was more energetic than successful. Together we ransacked desks, bureaus, tables,, closetB, trunks, clothes.' In- deed, every possible hiding place both at Cragholt and on the Sibylla was carefully and systematically .delved Into and exhausted without reward. Either Cameron had destroyed the letters, or he had them on his person when he vanished from the yacht. ; At .Evelyn's request, however, I wrote ��������� copies of those two strangely- couched, malevolent epistles, as nearly as I could remember them; and save. perhapB, for possibly two or 'three verbal errors they were, I think, iquite accurate. "And now," I asked again,- "what am II to do?" It was nearly midnight, and I was leaving her, my car waiting In the sopping driveway to carry me home. "You are not to worry any more -than you possibly can help," she told me, with a brave little sn lie, "for we tare going to succeed. And tomorrow you must go to your office, and keep very, very silent about what has happened. And then you are to come to me again in the evening, and I will tell you all I-have learned." 1 With which she gave me ber hand ,to kiss, in the odd little French way 'she had���������a way that could scarcely have been a part of her convent teaching. Aa I come to review these matters now, it seems singular that I should have so readily consented to be guided by this girl's will in a case of such grave importance; 'yet I cannot but In courtesy I could not say so. "All three," be continued aagely,| "begin, as you: must have observed,^] with the same sentence, 'That which! you have wrought shall in turn be wrought upon you.' That is a quota-j, tion."

As they bore no dates, and were unad- dressed, she had him to infer that they were autographic curiosities1 belonging to her uncle, in which we were all three interested. I bad met Professor Griffin on several occasions. Once or twice he had contributed articles to The Week, and While we were scarcely intimate, we were on terms of friendly acquaintanceship. He was an oldish, white- haired gentfeman, of rather the ascetic type, with long, somewhat peaked face, and light, watery blue eyes, which seemed to bulge behind the strong lenses of his gold-bowed spectacles. He received me in bis study, a spa- clous, book-lined room on the second floor of his old Colonial stone house. "I have been deeply Interested, Mr. Clyde," he began, "in the autographs and copies which Miss Grayson brought to me. They are unique specimens of English composition, in that the Oriental influence is so clearly ^demonstrated throughout. Po you, by any chance, know where Mr. Cameron obtained them?"

Vickers, Limited, for the navy. Engineering, in an editorial on this subject, says that these ships are to be similar to one which has completed extensive secret trials and has been accepted by the admiralty air department. The guaranteed speed is 47 miles an hour, and two ballonettes are to be fitted in the envelope, the object of this being to enable -the ^ship to be trimmed by pumping air from one ballonette to the other. These ships are of the non-rigid type, and an important feature in their portability. When deflated they can be packed on lorries or carried on board ships. These four ships, "are to form the nuclus of a squadron for the training of officers and men in .the handling of airships for the ,navy, and. they will be equipped with special regard ito this aim, the acquisition of experience."

Explaning how Kaneko could have' had the privileges of an American! citizen for so many years, the chief.] naturalization examiner in .Boston] said that seven years ago the lower] courts had power to issue naturaliza-J tion papers, and the only ; record! made of the proceedings in, court was j the certificate held by the applicants Sometimes, through an oversight, ne-i gleet or ignorance of the law the] clerk or presiding officer would pres( cnt a certificate to a person not enl titled to it, and when' it was discover^ ed the attorney-general would makej an effort to have it annulled. He def clared that no Japanese nor. Chihesi can be naturalized unless by special act of Congress, because they are no "free white persons." Cape Town, South Africa���������As showing the magnitude of irrigation schemes carried out in South Africa by co-operative effort, it may be mentioned that on. the Great Fish river alone there will shortly be a continuous chain of irrigation works extending over a length of nearly 150 miles. Some ofthesc scemes have involved an expenditure of between 1100,- 0001 and 155,0001. Experiments are now in progress in the Kalahari, where drilling is being done in the most westerly corner of the Union. Similar operations are being carried out tn Bechuanaland in connection with land settlement schemes of the government'. ^ I ORIENTAL NEWS . I CHINA AS A MARKET London.���������In recent years about 40 per cent of {he machinery imported by China comes' from Great Britain, according to a brochure issued by the British Engineers' Association. This publication says that the population of China is about 450,000,000 people, and the value of her imports of machinery is increasing very rapidly. Japan is generally considered to have progressed rapidly, but it took her 30 years to build 3,000 miles of railways, I while China completed railways amounting to a length of 5,000 miles during- the 12 years before the revolution. China's demand for engineering plant has thus' increased very rapidly. In 1910 the engineering imports-amounted -to 10,000,0001, in 1911 to 12,000,0001. while in 1912 they nearly reached 12,500,0001. t I have four lots at White ������ Rock, B. C. What have you ?'

A great deal of naval work has been done on the Tyne, the largest ships launched during the year being the Rio de Janerio, originally ordered by Brazil, but now the Osman I., with a displacement of 27,500 tons, and the Almirante Latorre, 23,000 tons, for the Chilean navy.5 a The cruiser Birmingham and several, torpedo boat destroyers have been launched and among the cargo boats perhaps them ost interesting are the fleet of oil tank steamers which are being,constructed. Many cargo boats and passenger ships have also been completed, and the year has been one of great activity in all branches of shipbuilding. On the Wear, the largest ship launched in 1913 was the San Jeron- imo, an oil vessel built by Messrs. Doxford & Sons, and in other ship- building' centers, while the number of ships launched does not always show an increase, the tonnage is in nearly every case greater than in 1912. The profits earned by shipbuilders, however, inthis year of maximum'output are not neariy so great as might be expected on account of the labor troubles, the unrest among the men, and the. bad time keeping. The result of this is that there has been considerable delay in completting many of tehships. NEW CHINESE PORTS. Several Points in the Orient Opened to Foreign Twde H. M. minister in Peking has forwarded a telegraph message to the Foreign Office to the effect" that a Chinese presidential order has been promulgated announcing that the following ports ��������� are to be opened to foreign trade: Kalgan, Dolonor, Kueihua-cheng, Taonan, Chihfeng, Lungkowhan (Shantung), and Hulutao near Newchwang. END OF POPPY CULTURE. Farmers of Fukien Devoting Them- V selves to Potatoes and Corn Amoy, China.���������With the development of .civilization along western lines the isolated Province of Fukien is rapidly undergoing important changes- It may soon be imagined that a chunk has been taken but of some western farming region and laid down in China, for there are in creasing evidences that fields' once wholly devoted to the poppy will be turned over to potatoes and corn. Progress has put its foot down on the opium business. Outside of China there are probably few persons who realize how great a blow this action has dealt at a means of sustenance to a province whose resources were already overtaxed to maintain its crowded population. Opium has always brought a god price in the market and formed an important source of-the farmer's revenue. It is small wonder that campaigns against -the such a suddenness that farmers were not conscious that the government was in earnest until they saw their entire season's work lost. This year a new method is to be tried. Instead of waiting until the plants are grown and then destroying the crop, the government has served notice that all opium plants will be destroyed as soon as they Appear in the field. In many instances the summary destruction of the crop last year caused riot and bloodshed, but the notices this year seem to be convincing farmers that the government means buisness, and the destruction of the young plants 'already under way has not caused the strife which resulted last yeart The new policy is meeting with the approval of the farmers, and once-they-see-that they-must-give up the poppy they are turning, to indigo, potatoes and corn.

Fifty Ordered from Germany, to Be Delivered .Next Slimmer. Berlin,���������However innocuous President .Wilson and Secretary Bryan may consider the foreign policy and military and naval plans of Japan, there is no disposition in Berlin to minimize the necessity of keeping vigilant watch on the ambition and manoeuvres of the Mikado's government, according to an authority here. Germany is paying the closest possible attention to them. Nothing now in sight is responsible for the measures taken by the Kaiser's government which is taking a far-sighted view and contemplates contingencies of the distant rather than the immediate future. It is felt here, however, that European and: American statesmen would be indulging in the most fatal sort of "ostrich policy" if they failed to keep closely in touch with '"developments in Japan, and to make their own plans accordingly. Japan has just ordered fifty German aeroplanes, to be delivered in the summer of 1914.
