Our summer camps are pitched on sea level, and we need a change of altitude. This tho new railroad will supply under the most charming circumstances, and we look for summer camps on Anderson, and especially ou Seatnn lakes that will attract their thousands. There are few parts of British Columbia where there are lakes that do not also abound in mosquitoes and other, even worse fly pests, but here is one part of our country where such arc absolutely unknown. Then, again, whilst the greater part_ of th<i country opened up is entirely useless for ordinary farming���������the amazing richness of the soil where such is found makes it the home of intensive farming, aud granted such a population as the Belgians or the Swiss, tlie line would quickly become a hive of industry.

AT WATER'S EDGE The United States is "nearing the water's edge'" All the power and influence of Wilson and Bryan have been exerted during the last two weeks to keep the country from drifting towards war. It is, perhaps, fortunata that Uncle Sum is so thoroughly unprepared for war, otherwise we could hardly imagine her taking so coolly the repeated slaps in the face, administered hy Germany. Indeed, it looks as if Germany was wilfully seeking to provoke the U. 8. Why* We repudiate tho idea of Germany thus seeking to save her .face when she sues for peace. Germany is not trying to save her faue, P^rsiany does not intend to sue tor peaee yet a while. Germany is seeking to compter the world, and it may be that friction with Ihe i\ S. is quite withir the tines of hev well thought out plan lor the Harrying out of whioh the most thorough and sustained preparation has been made during many years past. In this connection we record an incident that has been brought to our knowledge: Two years ago one of our promiuent citizens left for London^ On the way over he met n German who was in the diplomatic service of his country in the Orient. This German confided to onr friend that, he had become convinced that Germany had definitely decided to make war on ltvit'iiu, and that she was secretly preparing for same in the most unfair manner. That he was convinced Germany was wrong and would ultimately lose, and that he bad made up his mind to beeome a naturalised Briton; that he had pmuaded his father and his brother to do the siu- \\nl was 'en on his way to London XrtfTHiafl t*u page four) THE WESTERN CALL Friay, February ,26, 1915. 1 1^ ' THE VALUE OF WOOD WASTE Experiments as to Its Use in the Production of Ethyl Alcohol The value of most of the wood waste produced to-day is limited to its fuel value for the production of power at^the mill. In _ some cases, methods of closer utilization have been worked out, but compared with the total amount of wood waste produced, the amount of material so utilized is almost negligible. Furthermore, most of. the large lumber mills produce waste greatly in excess of the amount necessary for power production and the waste burners are still in use, involving not only a loss of large amounts of wood, but also a definite, fixed charge to get rid of it. It has been possible in the past to utilize only a small percentage of this material, but the problem is being attacked from a number of different angles and there is reason to believe that, within a short time, a much larger percentage of such material can be utilized at a profit. Laboratory experiments are being conducted by the United States Forest Products Laboratory looking toward the commercial production of ethyl aleohol from the distillation of sawdust, shavings, edgings, etc. A study of the motor fuel problem will show that the production of mineral fuels, such as nasoline, motor spirit, etc., is not keeping pace with automobile production. Alcohol appears to be the only solution of the problem, for, if it can be produced from good waste at a reasonable figure, a tremendous supply of raw material is available from a liatural, growing raw material which is not a foodstuff- If the experiments now under way should demonstrate that the processes found practicable on a laboratory basis can be made commercially practicable as well,' the result will be a tremendous -advance in the practical utilization of forest products.

A man writes to the unemployment committee of the Washington. State Federation of- Labor: metz, chief consulting engineer of the- General Electric Company, could and should stabilize the labor supply. For instance^ public projects like ' highways, waterways, conservation schemes, protection from floods, and irrigation works; "could easily be worked upon intermittently, without economic loss." When it became clear that from any cause the general supply of labor throughout the country was greatly in excess of the private demand, the government should begin to absorb the workmen for ff Phone Seymour 9086 * "Be not disgusted nor discouraged nor dissatisfied if thou dost not succeed in doing everything according to right principles, but when thoil has failed Return Back Again" We solicit your FINANCIAL BUSINESS We Know How!

Because the work is not there." Jn Chicago, Richmond, Cincinat- ti, Boston and other cities, similar stories may be heard. Judge Gary,_ whom the Mayor of^ New York put at the head of his committee of Unemployment and Re- we have a greater need to give lief, ventures "the assertion that relief here in our own city than we have to give relief, in Europe, as'great as the problem over there is." City Chamberlain Bruere estimates New York's unemployed at 25,000, with, a possible growth to 100,000- "The idea," he says, "that in the most prosperous commercial city of America strong, able-bodied men should be unable to find work is a reflection on our civilization." And the Richmond "Times-Dispatch," moved by the distress in its own city, declares that "whenever a man who is able to work and wants to work is denied that opportunity, civilization to that extent has proved inefficient, and civilization's governmental agencies should do what they can to make the deficiency good." In a report which wins the praise of the Springfield "Republican," Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Labor recommends a nation-wide plan to handle the problem in a large way and bring the "jobless man'' to the "manless job" wherever found. Then "with seasonal variations of employment nationally adjusted, with accidental disturbances to employment nationally provided for, with individual delinquencies in respect of employment better understood by national public opinion, and with such ameliorations of industrial distress as this department is cow preparing to offer, a right beginning will have been made." Br another plan the govern- more interesting suggestion, calling for a new sort of "citizen soldiers ": "What objection could thefre be to the government allowing men to enlist for three or four months training at any time when the demand for labor had fallen to a point threatening serious unem- ployment "The men so enlisted would be getting valuable instruction, their health would be improved by the experience, they would be drawing wages, they wduld not be a drag upon production through being unemployed. "In the course of time this method would provide the country with a splendid military rdeerve which could easily be brought up to a point of war efficiency-" PRODUCTION OF FLAX FIBRE Increased Growth and Improved Methods Required The linen industry in Ireland and Scotland is in danger as a consequence of the war. Much of the raw material, flax fibre, has come from Belgium, France and Russia, and these sources of supply, are, for'the time being, closed. Representatives from the large mills of Great Britain have recpntly visited Canada in an endeavour to enlist the co-operation of farmers in a greater production of flax. Here is an opportunity to develop the industry in this country, and by modern methods .of production and handling, put it on a basis that will make it profitable under normal conditions aitd prices. Flax for fibre can be grown in Canada wherever mixed farming can be carried on. -Tn some parts of Quebec and in Western Ontario, from the days of early settlement, flax has been grown and . home-made into linen. In only merit, says Dr. Charles P. Stein-'a few sections of Ontario in 1904 some 700 tons of fibre were produced, which sold for $201 per ton. This fibre was of. a, poor commercial grade, owing to antiquated methods of preparation for spinning. A shipment to Belfast produced"by Blightly improved methods sold for $240 per ton. The average price for Irish flax fibre during the last five years has been $325 per ton, while Belgian flax has averaged $405 per ton. It is obvious that Canadian flax should supply the present deficiency and future requirements of the Empire's raw material for linen production, and that more remunerative prices will be received if improved methods of production are employed. The average acre of flax grown for fibre, under normal market conditions, and using the new process, would yield at least $45 worth gf-fibre and seed worth $13, making a total of .$58. This is about three times the usual export value of an acre of wheat- It will be three years at least before normal conditions can again be expected, and during this time higher prices are likely to pro- vail. The area in flax (mainly for seed) in Canada, in 1913, was 1,552,800 acres, and, in 1914, 1,- 084.000 acres. This shows a decided decrease and it also shows that what is needed in Canada is a practical method of producing fibre. Information regarding the growing of flax for seed and fibre purposes is contained in bulletin No. 59 of the Central Experimental Farm which can be had by applying to the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.

It is being stimulated to some extent by the closing of the North Sea, but the chief belief is expressed by those whose opportunities for judgment are of the best, that even after the war the development will go on. The item goes on to say: Three Canadian express refrigerator cars, carrying 60,000 lbs. ���������thirty tons���������of prime halibut taken from the waters of the Pacific ocean off Prince Rupert. B. C, passed the city en route for St. John, N.B., where the fish is to be shipped by SS. Scandinavian to the British .market. A trial shipment of 20,000 pounds of halibut was made up in Prince Rupert last month and when opened up in England Was found to be in first class condition, leading to the placing of other large orders. It is only since the completion of the G. T- P. transcontinental line a few months ago that Prince Rupert fish has been on sale in Eastern Canada and the United States. Remarkable catches are being made by the fleet in the North Pacific fishing grounds, declared to be the richest in the world, and the fish is at once placed in ice and given a quick run over the G. T. P. In the case of the shipments to Great Britain the fish is carried over 6500 miles before it reaches the consumer, but so perfect are the refrigerating precautions that it loses none of its delicacy. GEESE Geese thrive on the same food as that given other poultry. Grass is their natural diet; but during the winter when grass is a scarce article, they do wonderfully well on a mash in which bran and meat scrap are well represented, with whole grains���������- corn, wheat and oats���������at night. A pair of geese will produce an average of a dozen goslins each year, and these find ready sale around the holidays. ��������� $**y*****************4*********4'*'****9*****999***9*** W.

Bill Till , Guarantees Are Given Ottawa, Feb- 23.���������The first meeting of the railway committee to-day was marked by an attack by Mr. H. H. Stevens, Vancouver, on the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern Railway Company, the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific for not carrying out an agreement made with the city. The attack was made when the application to incorporate the Northern Pacific and British Columbia Railway came before the committee. The incorporators of the company were Mr. E. C. Blanchard, general manager of the Northern Pacific; Mr. G. T. Reid. assistant president of the Northern Pacific, and Mr. A. H- McNeil, solicitor of the Great Northern Railway in Vancouver. The object of the bill was to secure running privileges over the V., V. & E. into the False Creek terminals in Vancouver from Huntington.

We will not take part in this war until we are attacked, but if an American vessel is wilfully destroyed without warning war will be forced upon us. (New York."World") ��������� There is a complete agreement among neutral nations as to the meaning and the menace of ' the Berlin decree. It is a wanton denial of neutral rights. It exhibits a deeper, at least a more imminent, hostility to neutrals than it does to any belligerent-' (Philadelphia Ledger) It is our. business to protect our own rights and the safety of our citizens. Germany should be told at once by every neutral government that this outrage is intolerable... (New York "Tribune") No neutral nation which respefets itself.can assent to the arrogant invasion of neutral rights which Germany seems inclined to undertake. American ships will undoubtedly continue to clear for British and Irish ports, as they are entitled to do. And if Germany torpedoes them, "by accident" or otherwise, she will do so to her own bitter cost. . (Boston'���������Transcript") . The impolicy of widening the anti-German -sentiment among neutral nations never seems to dawn on the minds of the statesmen of Berlin. (Providence "Evening Bulletin.,.) ���������X No time should be lost by the United States government in entering a' vigorous protest against this colossal impudence. (Portland, Me. "Express") - X The foreign situation so "far as it concerns the United States, is presenting a decidedly un: pleasant aspect. - We would not be at all overstating the case.probably, to say that Washing- - ton regards the prospect of maintaining peace; as at present a gloomy one. The German attitude toward Belgium t>y which it "came to regard its treaty obligations as a "scrap of paper" followed by the absolute,ruination of that country, seems to be a parallel with the' German attitude toward the'rights of neutral nations on'the sea.

Buildings for Hospitals In Brussels, Paris, Stuttgart, Petrograd, and many large cities of. Germany Y. M- C. A., buildings are being used for hospitals under the direction of the Red Cross society. Other services the Y. M. C. A. has rendered in the countries engaged in war include sending information to families of soldiers at the front in answer to letters of enquiry; furnishing reading and writing material, lecturers and refreshments and establishing classes. for learning the German language in England. Boy Scouts have helped gather the harvests. They also have worked at the railway stations, at the post and telegraph, off ices. In England they acted as coast guards and as lookouts for spies. In France they have lived with the soldiers and acted as messengers. Another communication received by the Y. M. C- A. headquarters described the success of the campaigns now being carried on in China by G. Sherwood Eddy, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for Asia. Mr. Eddy reported an average attendance of. 3,000 in fourteen cities and the total number of Chinese enrolling themselves as 15,000. the company would give definite assurance that - they should carry out their agreements with the city of Vancouver. In regard to the completion of the terminals, Mr. H- McGivern, solicit-' or for the company, claimed the Northern Pacific owned one-half of. these terminals and had spent a million and a half in Vancouver. Mr. J. D. Taylor, New Westminster, said he favored the bill: that the company had carried out its agreements and that the City Council of Vancouver favored the bill... Mr. Stevens strongly opposed the progress of the bill until the company would nive definite assurance that they would rush the completion, of the terminals at False Creek. The bill was allowed to stand over, and the solicitors are to see what assurance they can get. a conspiracy of interna ti jnal law and American sentiment. They declare they are being outrageously treated. There may be some persons, who have been inclined to maintain a neutral attitude, but what are these to think now when German submarines begin war by torpedoing hostile ships and merchant vessels? Germans have boasted they will isolate England and starve her Evidently they are doing their level best to do it- But such a step will be against Americans as well as Englishmen. The moment they begin to sink Atlantic liners, that moment there' will come a revision of neutrality and application of an old srule.. The new neutrality will - place a nation that commits acts of outlawry in the categoryvof the outlaw, and the old rule revived will treat as pirates those who murder under the name of war.' A situation undreamed of in modern history is hastening to a crisis through the acts of Germany. .. . , (New York "Evening Post") If the German cruisers and battleships dare not come out to contest the command of the sea, it is ridiculous to suppose that England can be blockaded and starved out in the way threatened. The Berlin "Post" goes beyond the exact terms of the government order, and declares that after the date notified, February 18, "men and freight not only on the British ships, but under a neutral flag, are doomed to sink." If.this is not braggadocio, it is brutality. It is also arrant stupidity, for, if it were not held to be sheer piracy, it would be an act of war against neutrals-^or, at least, an act which, if not instantly apologized for, with an indemnity offerr ed, would lead straight to war. And even in their maddest moments.of exaltation and reck-' lessness, German rulers can' hardly, wish their t country to be regarded as hostis generis humani. (New York "Tribune") . . German diplomacy for many years has been a record of blunders, due largely to arrogance. But in its affront to the interests and sensibilities of neutral nations no other blunder has been quite so flagrant as the threat contained in the "war zone" proclamation just issued by the German Admiralty. SOME ADVICE TO GERMAN-AMERICANS (From the New York World) Representative Bartholdt and his associates aer doing Germany no good, and they are doing themselves much harm, by their pernicious pro- German propaganda. ^ When they threaten to carry Germany's cause to the polls, and make the German cause an issue in American politics they, are playing with dynamite. The American people will not tolerate such, a campaign of alienism, and the chief sufferers will be the so-called German-" Americans* who plot it. <��������� 'Germany is the only country engaged in this war which has officially undertaken to manipulate American opinion. It is the only belligerent which maintains a lobby in the United States' to incite public sentiment against other belligerents with which we are friendly. The only foreign , element in this country' which is assailing the president of the United States and seeking ��������� to bulldoze! the {government of the United States is the German element, and that sort of thing ..can be easily overdone. Long after the war is over Mr. Bartholdt and his associates will have to live in this country. Few- of them will voluntarily return to Germany to help pay the cost of the conflict. 'Their real interests' are all m~ the United States and the sooner they reconcile themselves to being Americans the. better- Whatever their sentimental attachment to the fatherland may be, a German ."victory., could not help them and a German defeat could not harm , them." When they war against the president of the United States, ' the congress of the United .States, and the general welfare of the United States they are warring against themselves. It is��������� a^,pity that Carl, ^chuija' is LH,oi alive to preach a little wholesome common sense to German-Americans who have succumbed to the Pan-German propaganda and who are "following such blind leaders as Representative Bartholdt. He could have told them that when they undertake to -organize Pan-Germanism "into a political pirty in the United States they are inviting re- ��������� prisals that are not likely to cease when a treaty of ueace is signed. 1 /The American people will not indefinitely , submit to alien meddling in their domestic, affairs; They will not countenance the sacrifice of American interests to foreign privilege. They will not allow the peace and the security of the United States to be, jeoparded /by a foreign propaganda for the benefit ot a foreign nation that has involved itself in a world war. If Mr. Bartholdt and his associates do not understand this, we are sorry for them, because they are piling up trouble for themselves. This country once had an alien < law on its statute books. It might be very reluctant to enact a similar statute,, but every day such German-Americans as Richard Bartholdt are breaking down this reluctance. t< 'H ML.PLEASANT LOCALS The new sub-post office at cor. 15th. and .

Our own prominent reli- 'gious leaders withdrew the sanction of the church in Vancouver when a visit from the noted evangelist had become, probable at the time of the Sunday meetings in-Bellingham. , ��������� That these gentlemen had their reasons for thus acting, which seemed good and sufficient to them, goes without saying. There have been few places visited by Billy Sunday where prominent men have not objected, x ' ��������� ' In Columbus,, Ohio, the great Washington Gladden, pastor of one of the nation-famed Congregational churches, made a most virulent attack on Sunday's theology and methods that attained almost world-wide publicity This attack was replied to by the pastor of one of the largest and most influential Lutheran , churches^a ' church that is, above all others ' noted for^its conservatism in methods. The attack and reply were both quite lengthy, too lengthy to publish here���������but we may state quite fairly that the reply .ended the controversy. In Philadelphia, the Rev. David M. Steele, D.D., rector of the Episcopal Church of St. Luke, and the Epipheny, has taken.up the cudgels and attacked the Billy Sunday preaching and methods. A doughty champion of the evangelist has taken the arena, jn the person of the Rev.| Geo. F. Pentecost, D.D., author of note, lecturer and preacher, who, amongst other noted pastorates, held for seven years th������v pulpit of Marylebone Church���������the , largest Presbyterian church in the city of London, England- In 1887, the writer of. this article was in a room of the old brand Pacific .Hotel, Chicago, with D. L. Moody. The details of the day s - Work had just been gone over^when a knock came to the door, and a tall, thin, gentlemanly looking man was ushered in. Without a word of introduction he handed Moody an envelope with these words, "A thank offering fr������n>,my father, to whose heart and life you Ihr^unht a^ great blessing whilst \in London, many years ago, on a visit home from India." , The , stranger retired and Moody opened the envelope and drew out a cheque��������� "How much?" he queried. "Fifty dollars!" "No. Guess again." * "Five hundred dollars."- ., "No. Five thousand-ppunds.55 ���������Twenty-five thousand dollars���������'! ^Moody had tong contemplated a visit to India, and here was the nucleus of a fund tbat would bear the expense. But'the doctors forbade the trip, owing to tbe condition *of. Moody's heart.' and & fitting person was. sought: who could carry, the Gospel to the educated natives of India. Geo. F. Pentecost was the man finally chosen. Dr. Pentecost's defense of Billy Sunday is quite.lengthy and we v^ill only quote a few passages. He says: "Possibly I -may be excused for offering some justification for my remarks, as the Doctor has for his, on the ground of knowledge and experience. It has been my high privilege during the past fifty years,to know and count some of them my good friends and hear most of the eminent preachers and. speaker^ on either side of he ocean. Such men as Storrs ahd Beecher, and Taylor and Talmage, and Cuyler and Ormis- ton, and Robert Collyer and Phillips Brooks mong the preachers, and Tom Marshall and Jlaine, and Wendell Phillips and Edward Everett and-Robert Ingersoll among public men_on this side of the sea, and Spurgeon, McLaren, Joseph Parker and Newman Hall, and Hugh Stowell Brown, and Canon Farrar, and Liddon, and Boyd Carpenter, and" Wilberforce et al., among preachers, and John Bright and Gladstone, and Parnell and Lord Salisbury, and Balfour and Joseph Chamberlain among public men; and I aro frank to say tliat I have jiam listened to a man who has so moved and .stirred me to the very bottom of my soul as has Billy Sunday, and I think I know wbat true religious feeling is. v _ ,.,���������,. . ' ....--... God Uses Sunday's Type For more than ten years" I was closely associated with that prince among men and evangelists, Dwight L. Moody. I was with him in Boston and Chicano and Baltimore and Providence and Hartford and New Haven and New York and London and Glasgow and Edinburgh and other large cities- I have seen and studied the crowds which gathered; to. hear him and Mr. Sankey preach and sing. I have followed up his meetings and know what the* general effect of them has been both on the churches, the ministers and every class of people sin' the>. communities in ������which they were held. I think I know something about evangelistic crowds, and what happens to them when.the Spirit of God moves among them;- Billy Sunday's methods, his personality and power are only variations of , that type of ministry which God has in every age of the world used to arouse His church and , awaken the world. I do not stop to analyze the source of his extraordinary power in# this respect. I merely state the fact" [V One of the objections raised by Dr. Steele is '' the marked and wicked waste of money, say even as much as $100,Qb9Xthis might have been )given to the poor." To this Dr. Pentecost replies:' ' '-���������-, 'X V . "This is an old cry when money is given to God out of the ordinary and Conventional channels; It was begun by Judas Iscariqt-when he ['���������-.objected to'-the " waste ".'hy'-Mary in anointing ,the Saviour's feet.

For 4he present only nine weeks. ,. What is the frightful cost' and waste Of money-in connection with these Tabernacle services f There are forty thousand people every six days of the week, say, for nine weeks. The, cost to these people is not one penny for every service they attend. If some give more, many give nothing, and the underwriters will have nothing to pay, and.the collections over and above the actual expenses of the campaign go to the poor ol1. the'city. The cheapest moving picture show in the city is extravagant compared with the cost of the Tabernacle meetings: I notice that Dr. Steele says nothing about the waste of money by Christians and others on saloons, places of amusement, small luxuries like cigars, expensive lunches and dinners at the clubs, fashionable entertainments by society Christian people, Christian women's hats and gowns, costing from $50 to $500 apiece. These things and a hundred others not necessary to the well-being and liberal comfort of thousands of Christians^ are costing every week, all the year around, and year after year, -ten and fifty times as much as the Billy Sunday meetings are costing for nine weeks. It costs Philadelphia ten times or twenty times as much to subsidize one opera season more than it costs to finance the Tabernacle meetings. Why does not our economical Doctor get after some of these wasteful extravagances. - Go to! It costs the common people who attend these Tabernacle meetings less than half as much as it costs people to go to a cheap moving picture show or for a cheap cigar oi a glass - of soda-water or a package of chewing gum. One can hardly sympathize with Dr. Steele's heart-breaking sorrow over "this waste which might be given to the poor." Dr. Steele is moved to ai. awful fear that this great mass of people who are swayed . through /their emotions may be a precedent danger in the direction of providing "mob rule" and bring on our country another French Revolution horror. ' X-' ' ' ' Dr. Pentecost answers: But the direction of the emotions which Billy Sunday awakens is not r toward violence arid mob rule. " It is toward peace arid quietness, toward industry and the love ut'one's neighbor and the desire to do them good: ' Moreover, Mr. Sunday is not a preacher to the passionate emotions of his audience. His . passionate appeals are more to the reason and . common sense of men than to their emotions. God knows he is passionate in his!! appeals and ��������� how glad we are that he handles his matter with passion and not, with the cold-hearted way of our conventional preaching. It waB said of' Dr. Chalmers, who usually tore his manuscript to tatters in his delivery: "He was a fell reader-" " ' ^ Billy is a fell preacher; and we are glad he< has arisen to teach us how to make our sermons burn. Tf. he stirs up the enemy to a "fury of haired and mob violence he is in the line o$ the highest apostolic succession. The preaching of Jesus stirred up a mob of high placed church members' who led the mob,of the baser sort to murder the Lord of glory. Stephen's preaching cost him a shower of , death dealing stones; but he won out of th*at mob one man who has done more than any other living man save Jesus Himself to make Christianity a reality; and his preaching cost Paul stones, lashes, prisons and in the end his . life, .lohn the Baptist's preaching cost him his ;iead. ��������� ____���������- Christians Stirred Up to Hate Thousands of������the early Christians stirred up the hatred of the ungodly to the point of burning them, beheading them, sawing them asunder, tearing .them limb from limb and casting them to the wild beasts. ^But it was not those who believed the preaching of these men who "turned the'world upside down," who were massed in mobs. In the end these ardent and passionate preachers of the Gospel overturned and made an end of organized paganism in Europe and brought in what we are pleased to call Christian civilization. Luther and Calvin and Savonarola and John Knox arid the Wesleys and Whitefields were men of like spirit with Billy Sunday. They did not turn the mobs against society and government, but against themselves, who counted not their lives dear sO that they might win some sinners to Christ. "��������� 0.x_ Lessening of Crime.

"By their fruits ye!shall know therti" If Billy is a rough diamond, he is yet a diamond; if he is an uncut diamond, his brilliant facets are just beneath the surface*. It is the diamond we see and not its-jagged or ragged surface; the inner brilliance and riot the rough coating. ;.: .... As for the newspapers and the committee of "Christian gentlemen" who brought Billy to Philadelphia and are exploiting his sermons over the whole Continent, I am sure they are quite ready to take care of themselves without any help from me jor any other man. For myself I venture to say that neither the committee nor the press have in a generation done so'good a thing for Philadelphia and the -whole country as they have done in organizing and supporting arid exploiting- the "Sunday campaign." . , (Continued from page one) ' l ��������� , There\ are valleys on the line of the P.,G.

In connection with the opening up of the Lillooet District by the P. G. E. > R. R., there is a colossal enterprise of which we hardly dare write, for at first blush "it savors of the Munchausen. ' X, ' - But these are the days of large things, and we believe the largest enterprise the Empire has yet undertaken.lie? to our hand in this* newly opened region. Standing on the main street of either Lytton or/Lillooet can be seen na-" tural evidences that in some bygone day a great change took place suddenly or gradually in the Fraser Valley. * Beach upon beach indicate a change of levels amounting to many hun- . , dreds of feet. _'���������������"' From the bridge at Cisco, where the Black Canyon begins right up to Lillooet has been one immense lake, backing up the waters of the Thompson river , . and the outlet then was probably through Seaton, Anderson and Lillooet lakes -> to'Harrison lake, and the lower Fraser river. - ��������� , >t . ' 'During some trembler, perhaps, when that mountain, neat Mt. Pentose, blew its head off and covered Bridge River Valley with four feet of volcanic, x ash, the rocky obstacle ut Cisco was lessened and some point on the did coarse raised���������anyhow the mighty Fraser, aided by/the clear rushing waters of the Thompson began, making their jagged way to Hell' s Gate and the placid lovely; - beauty of Seaton and Anderson Lakes began. * ' ��������� " '"\ , ^ ��������� Here, then, lies the possibility of an undertakiag worthy- of; our greatest captams; ��������� - - ' ' " * ", ' The bottom of Thompson and tbe Eraser t|ve^ contain fabulous treasures jot gold. Not ^11 ihe wealth of the accumulated decea^d Sultan that has bee* gathering for centuries in the tombs at Constantinople can begin to compare , irith ihejtvealth that is reputed to He under the stormy waters of tbe, Fraser. Legend has it that four of our old timers about 50 years ago "waited an4' watched" on Kanaka,;bar u6til the "three sisters" (rocks at the bottom), came in sight and that] in a few hours of that low water took out $80,000 apiece ere the rising waters drove them off. The richest placers of the world's history have been on the Fraser���������but these have all been worked out to low water level. Predge after dredge has been built and with excessive toil and great danger to life placed in position to dip up this treasure only to be battered and wrecked by the angry waters against Fraser's rugged ribs. About ten years ago, with a holiday party we "waited and watched" on Kanaka for the lowering of tbe waters until the "Three Sisters" came in sight. And with dreams of golden nuggets on tbe morn we crept to our tent and slept. But in the morning Fraser was raging twelve feet deeper ,and our hopes were flown. Charlie Kanaka, the ancient Chief, showed us a nugget of marvellous size - that-he-declared had been taken from behind the "Three- Sisters" forty-years- before. ^ - ' Anyhow, here is an undertaking that should spur our imagination and if possible put British Columbia on the map as never before. Dam the Fraser at Cisco, turn the waters back into old channel and rob old Giant Fraser of his gold from Cisco down. Then dam tbe Thompson towards A.shcroft and the Fraser just below Lillooet, and what in the world will be laid bare. The- Thompson "waters would make their way up the Bonaparte and through Marble Canyon to the Fraser. " v There should be enough gold there to pay for the crushing of Germany and afterwards liquidate the Empire's debt, but should there be not one nugget found the enterprise would develop ...power that should turn our province into the greatest factory spot on earth, only the people must do it. / XThis enterprise should be a provincial, if not a national affair. ������>������������������>������������������������������<���������������������������������#������������������������������������������������������>������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������#���������������>#���������>������������������ ���������*���������*������***���������*���������������**���������������������������*������*������������������������������������������������������- XX "O" Pi XJ 1 H1 ��������� /4'\ f ��������� ^ '^-< ���������. ^ * .Ijt^I t4-'| XX SPECIAL NEWS ITEMS CHICAGO'S NEW UNION STATION.

CHANCE FOB A NEW INDUSTRY One result of the war is a famine in buttons. About a year and a half ago Germany put Galalith buttons, made of compressed milk, on the market, and they quickly captured every possible branch of the dressrnaking trade by reason of their beauty and the many varieties in which they were produced, from huge wonderful colored solid-looking buttons for big coats to delicate, exotic small buttons for plain tailored blouses. Many of the most/popular plain blouses, of ���������last season depended for decoration upon bright, cheery-shaped buttons. This year manufacturers are menaced with the difficulty of finding substitute.���������"Dry Goods."

Accompanying the correspondence is the information that the army council of Great Britain, "will be grateful for the Sb^ ciety's further assistance," and that they "approve of a fund being started by the Society for the purchase of.hospital requisites for sick and wounded horses." ' "The veterinary organization of tbe Expeditionary Force is most complete. The arrangements made $of the care of the horses are almost as elaborate as those provided for the wounded troops. "To every division and cavalry brigade is attached a mobile veterinary section. Each consists of one officer and 2& trained men of the Army, Veterinary Corps, all mounted and fully equipped with all the necessary ^veterinary means. Their function is to relieve the old units of all (other than trivially) sick and inefficient animals. They are the connecting link between - the field units and the veterinary hospitals. The patients they obtain, after proper first aid treatment, are conveyed to the nearest railway and dispatched by train to the advanced veterinary hospital, the mobile veterinary section finding the party required to attend to the "patients' wants during .the railway journey. "Then come the veterinary hospitals, ten in number, and situated at different points along the line of communication. Each is organized to deal'with 10������H) cases, and has a staff of officers and trained men of the Array Veterinary Corps. All necessary veterinarymedicines, instruments, and surgical means for dealing with the patients are provided. Tlie Cases are received into the advance hospital, and from there, after treatment, drafted, accord* ing to their severity, to the hospitals further down the line. The cases which end in "complete recovery are discharged to the remount department for re-issue to the fighting troops, -but many horses discharged' from hospital are found to require further rest before .they are fit for re-issue. These are drafted0 to the convalescent horse depot. V "The horses are treated with just the same care and skill as is shown to wounded soldiers. They are given chloroform and other. anesthetics before they are operated upon by skilled, officers. The ^convalescent horse depot has j been established in one of the j healthiest places in France, and it covers an area of 20 miles. Here the patients run to grass in small well-sheltered paddocks, receiving extra feed, and they are under the supervision of officers of the Army Veterinary Corps. By this means a very large number of animals, which would otherwise be'lost to the state are saved and again become thoroughly efficient troop-horses." , totosts wiu. srorc> men monuy m qaxada Millions of. dollars which in past years have been expended by the people of the North American continent in tours of Europe will this year be distributed in the United States and Canada. The great majority of the tourists who have been from the United' States this year will spend their holidays and their cash in,the United States, some in South America, some in the' Orient, but Canada will prove the mecca of thousands. Canada can of fer, scenery that Switzerland cannot excel, the best,fishing in the world, plentiful big and small game for hunting, good tourist hotels and first class railway service. < British Columbia in these . rer spects is especially well favored. And it is an alternate route to and from the east to the great world's fair at San Francisco which will mark the formal opening of the Panama Canal, the exposition at San Diego and almost countless conventions and other attractions which , will this year be held on the Pacific coast. No opportunity to increase tourist travel this year in British Columbia and in Canada should be lost.

X ���������> ' ' The writer discusses Germany'srequirements of the metal and the probable effecton the course of the war. -.He calculates that the amount of copper fired away hy tbe German armies each day and not recovered reaches 309 tons or in round numbers 113,000 .toft* a yea*r- Germany herself- produces 26,000 tons annually in times of. peace. Allowing for the possibility of'ber being able to increase .this output by,'40 per cent, and, blowing also for 4000 tons from Austria, the total output from the two empires is 40,000 tons. . s ; , i'Now, continues the correspondent, in spite of the fact that Germany has for years been preparing for this war and has probably laid by huge stores of copper, it is apparent that already she is feeling the pinch. She is making: efforts tc obtain this metal from. ,any quarter and at any cost. The price of copper in Germany has increased 200 per pent sinpe the commencement, pf the war. , v -, . " . X >ra '"Phis situation wi]|; hppome every- day more strained, for the war wity pot continue upon the same scale as heretofore put will he more and more 'expensive in men and ammunition. ,TJ������? artillery is being' couniantly increased and we niiiiu luily of ibe British forces has still to come to the trout. To the increase of firing, Germany must respond in equal measure. "The conclusion is obvious. If while the con-' .sumption of copper increases England and France police the seas with the utmost vigilance so that no copper at all can reach Germany, awfe Austria) the fate of those empires seem certain. No sentiment of false humanity should interfere": , with the chief duty of the police ships, for the more'rigid the police,.the shorter the war." illTGJHBAT AND BEHSEWW ' X WASTE OF FOOP IN B, 0. Great is the power of prejudice. While thousands in Europe are on the verge of starvation, hundreds of thousands of pounds of perfectly good food in the form of the Chum or Qualia salmon, locally known as dog salmon, were allowed to rot on the banks of the Fraser river last fall. Mr- Martin Monk, chairman of the fisheries committee, made this statement in presenting his annual report to the Board of Trade Friday, night, in which he urged that next year a concerted effort be made to induce the Provincial and Dominion" governments .to take up this question and endeavor to introduce the so- called inferior grades of salmon on the foreign market, canned or cured. Last year some attempt was made to this end, the fisheries committee of the board proposing that the government should supply salt and barrels, and the fishermen of the Fraser agreeing to put them up at 10 cents a fish, or about 21-2 cents a pound, landed in England for four cents a pound, and would doubtless have formed a welcome addition to the food supplies. The proposal, however, failed to materialize, and the fish rotted as before. ' . Mr. Monk asserts that the food value of dog salmon is equal to that of cohoes, although not so attractively colored, and that 'the fishermen themselves prefer them to cohoes or any other fall salmon.Yet such is the prejudice against them outside of the uninitiated, that even the convicts in the penitentiary refuse them. On the other hand, they are frozen and shipped east, where they sell for 10 to 12 cents per pound. There was an unusually large run of dog salmon last year, and had they been salted and shipped to Britain they would have provided a market for fish which had to be thrown away, which have been of great benefit to the fishermen. WHEAT FROM RUSSIA TO FEED THE ALLIES the vast supplies of cereals now hoarded up in An important result of the conference of the ministers of finance of Great Britain, France and Russia in Paris is, according to an article by Dr. E. J. Dillon, in The Daily Telegraph, that Russia will" be ~ sold"and convened, to western Europe' by way of Archangel and Vladivostok. The cost of conveyance will be cut down to the lowest limits by the . introduction of special freights. This reduction in the cost of. transportation, taken together with the low prices of foodstuffs which now rule in Russia and the ex^. ceptionally abundant crops in Siberia, will enable the exporter to sell corn to the allies at rates which cannot hut have a beneficial effect on the markets generally from the consumer's point of view- "As long as Russia had to keep her foodstuffs within her owit, boundary other corn- growing countries," Dr. Dillon remarks, "had it in their power to raise prices to their hearts' content. But once the allies find it to their advantage to draw on Russia's granaries supply and demand will tend to be equalized, and foodstuffs will become proportionately cheaper." This transaction, which was unanimously agreed upon by the three ministers, will have, the.further effect of lightening the burden of Russia's indebtedness and of contributing to a better rate" of exchange. ____________________ ������ THE WEEK'S WAR NEWS (Continued from page one) On the Western front the news that interests Vancouver most is that our Canadian boys have' been in the trenches, and under a galling fire have acquitted themselves as we had expected. The war will now come home to us with a new interest. The f.irst week of the "paper blockade" has gone by, and the Admiralty have issued a statement showing 1381 arrivals and sailings from British ports since blockade began, and that only 8 British ships, ^,11 of them small and slow, have been sunk by the Germans-. This makes, the, blockade a farce -and the German action worthy of pirates. As an evidence that the Admiralty believe the submarine attack has been mastered���������they have authorized resumption of the day sailings of cross-channel passenger steamers. All New York sailings have been postponed owing to strike, not, as had been reported, owing to Admiralty orders. VARIETY OF FOOD MAKES HENS LAY Variety of feed is what fills the winter egg basket. Corn three times a day as a rule builds up fatty tissue, makes hens lazy and reduces profit. , " Animpl food, groundsoo_d and a generous supply of, green stuff produce the best results for laying fowls," says J. G. Halpin, head of the poultry department of tfte University of Wisconsin.'v The exercise so needful for, poultry can be provided in winter by working the grain ration well into the litter of fresh straw, that should be provided as a. carpet, on1 the- feeding floors; A good variety of grain,should be provided, ponae, corn, wheat,, oats and barley mixed together, or fed alternately, makes a satisfactory* ratfon. / - A grain ration'for winter use. that has giyn good results at the experiment station farm consists "of two "parts "corn;- two parts wheat, one part oats and one part barley. - It is recommended that the ground feed be placed in a Biaall mash box or trough where the hen can have ready access to it. The following mixture of ground feeds is considered1 to be quite satisfactory': One.hundred lbs- bran, 100 lbs..middlings, 100lbs. ground corn, 50 lbs. mealt sprouts, 50 lbs. meat scraps, and sufficient salt. During the fall and winter about 25��������� pounds of oil moil should be added to this mixture. Where these feeds, cannot be had, others of a like nature may be substituted, the main idea in all instances being to get a wide variety. Buttermilk and odds and ends from the kitchen, and such green food as cabbage, alfalfa, silage, and turnips are great aids to egg production. Not only more eggs, but eggs rich in protein and high in vitality with firm shells are likely to result where proper thought is given to feeding systems. ' EARLY LAYING A very interesting observation has recently been made by J. Wilson, of the department of agriculture and technical institution in Ireland. At the Minister Institute, Cork, Ireland, an egg laying competition was conducted in which Mr. Wilson observed that a hen's total yield for the year could be predicted from her yield a few weeks after she had begun to lay- In giving the records for, twenty-four hens, 8 of which were very good, 8 medium arid 8 poor layers, it is observed that the good layers lay C. P. R. STEAMSHIP CONTROL CHANGED , # Announcement Blade at Montreal That Ocaon-Going Ships Will Be Under .Separate Coy. Sir Thomas Sbaugbnessy, pre- sident of. the ,C. P. ft., has made the following statement this week: '- , , "The company is operating fleets of steamships on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and on the Pacific coast, as well asvon the Great Lakes and other inland waterways of Canada. These latter are connecting luaks _be-, twee'n 'different, sections" of the railway line and are, therefore, essentially a portion of the .railway transportation system, and it is not proposed f^ change' their status. The ocean fleets are, however, in a different class, en: gaged in competition, with outside fleets, plying between Canada and other portions of the world. - The - company proposes to transfer these ships to a steamship company with, which the business relations, will be. the same as they are with outside steamship lines that exchange traffic with. the railway company. "Heretofore, all expenditures for the acquisition and construction of these ocean steamships were made by the railway company and included in , the liabilities in its balance sheet- Hereafter, it is proposed that the steamship company shall itself secure the required .money for these purposes by the issue of its own securities. The ownership and control of the steamship company will remain with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, but the management and operation of the steamship lines will be vested in the board cf directors of the Canadian Pacific Service, Limited. It is only another step in the direction of. eliminating from the direct operations of the railway company items that do not relate to the railway property itself." rather regularly at the start, only missing one day at a time, and that this rate was kept up for at least eight or ten weeks. The medium layers, on the other hand did not lay as consistently, but missed several days at a time, and laid every day for a few weeks only. The poor layers laid practically no eggs, and what few they do lay are laid very irregularly. It is stated that the "great value of the observation lies in this���������that the' breeder knows before the setting season begins, the grades to which his pullets belong and he can infer therefrom the parents' grades in some cases." MUCH COTTON MOVING , For the last two weeks immense quantities of cotton destined for the Russian empire, where much of it will be used in the manufacture of uniforms and other war equipment, have been pour- inginto Seattle and Tacoma- The vessels of the Russian Volunteer Fleet, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, the Osaka Shosen Kaisha,' and the Royal Mail Line will carry the cotton to 'the Orient, most of it going direct to Vladivostok and the remainder being transshipped in Japanese ports. Practically all the trans-pacific freighters are loading capacity cargoes for the outward voyage, the cotton movement serving to fill up the space not occupied by the regular trans-pacific freight. Germany Wants Money The imperial government of Berlin has decided to issue a second five per cent, war loan. This will be open for subscriptions from Feb. 27 to March 19, and will take the form of five per cent. Imperial bonds and five per cent- exchequer bonds. Interest' will run from July 1st. By a vote of three to one'the city commission of Portland passed an ordinance fixing three dol-. lars as the minimum wage for la-1 borers engaged in city work in_L Portland and providing that 8J hours shall constitute a day'sfrJ work in the city service.
