R. L. Borden, who wishes me to extend his appreciation of the Vancouver Conservatives. " The speaker of the evening was Mr. W. J. Bowser, Attorney-General, other speakers being the local provincial members. The Attorney-General, although suffering from a severe cold, gave an interesting address, in which he dwelt on many matters of vital interest to the country. 7\ Briefly he touched on the police board and the appointments for 1913. "In framing up the police board this year we felt we must get men who would inspire the public confidence. We have, I think, this year got two men who will please the public and will show the confidence of the government was not misplaced." Secretary's Report. Mr. R. L. Maitland, secretary of the organization, submitted the usual yearly report, which was in part as follows: 'v;'?_ "At t&e present time our organisation is in splendid shape. AU fne ward clubs have1 elected their officers for the coming yeftr and we believe we have in these officials men who witt do credit to themselves and to the party as a whole. "Without any election m sight and after having passed through two strenuous campaigns, we were able to register some 2,100 names ai against 709 by the liberals and Socialists combined. "We-feel that w������ cannot'1^t^i^fervtb''thr'VeTy splendid and effective work that has been accomplished by bur Federal member, Mr. Jf. J$. Stevens. He enjoys the confidence of every member of the Borden Cabinet and has been able to do more for the City of Vancouver in one year than tiie Laurier Government did for us in twelve years. We feel that the present Dominion Government is alive'to the importance of this city from every standpoint and that we may look forward* to a square deal for Vancouver during the lifetime of the pesent Government." "In closing and on behalf of the executive we would like to express our, appreciation of the earnest, energetic efforts of our president, Mr. W. J. Baird, in his endeavor to maintain and to improve the good record of the Vancouver Conservative Club. Mr. Baird has given a great deal of time to this work and always took his stand for what he thought was in the interests of the party. In thanking the members for his election, Secretary Maitland complimented Mr. Victor Love, the assistant secretary, for his help, saying the splendid condition of the records today were due to Mr. Love ind his tireless work in the% interest of Conservatives. V* Mr. Walter Leek, as the retiring treasurer, read that official report. The expenditures for the year amounted to $6,012. The surplus on hand was $406. Dr. McGuire took occasion to pay tribute to Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P., at Ottawa, and the vast amount of energy he was displaying in the interest of the city. f KiMO������-MIM'M������MI*ll'M'f MI M 11 IK HI 11 lllf < H HI IIIM M ������l I ���������������>!������ t������ 11 Hf U H M Ij By Alex* ���������<;���������'��������� The recent snow storm proved a hindrance to: traffic, a wet blanket on business and a dis- t'couragement to social events, because it was unusual and hence caught the people wholly un- X prepared for such lavishment from the skies.

A few words will show his Biblical interpretation and its manifest failure to comply with history and revelation. See Gen. chap. 49, verse 1, where Jacob uses the words "Last Days." This good minister said that "last days" here, and the promises referred to by Jacob, were the days of the kings of Isreal, and that the promises were fulfilled during those days. Concerning the words: "A nation and ai company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins," he informed us that this promise was fulfilled in Canaan in the company of na'vns* such as the Israelites, Amorites, Moabites, Amalakites, Canaanites and the others. In addition to this wonderful bit of information he said fhe Israelites grew up out of a combination of nations such as the above. * (By Professor E. Odium. MA..

Upon a total area under field crops of 32,- 474,000 acres a harvest bas been > reaped the value of which, calculated at average local market prices, makes a total of 1609,437,000. The area under wheat last year -was 9,768,400 acres, of which 781,000 acres represents the harvested area of fall wheat grown principally in Ontario and Alberta, but also to a limited extent In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. The total production of wheat was 199,236,000 bushels, of the value of $123,622,000. Fall wheat produced 16,- 396,000 bushel* of the value of 113,- 785,000. Oats upon 9,216,900 acres yielded 361,733,000 bushels, of the value of fll6,9i!<s,000- barley, upon 1,413.200 acres, yielded 44,014,000 bushels of the value of 820,406,000; and flax, upon 1,677,800 acres, yielded 21,631^00 bushels, of the value of 819,626,000. By comparison .with 1911, the results of last year's harvest, both as regards total yield and value, are upon the whole Inferior. The average prices realised for most of the crops were somewhat less, whilst the yields from wheat, rye. peas, beans and corn for husking were also lower. On the other hand, oats yielded about, 13% million bushela mor^ than in 1911, and the following crops'also show more or leas an excess yield: Barley, buck* wheat, mixed grains, flax, potatoes, turnips, etc., fodder corn, sugar beet aad alfalfa. The a*erage~yielda per acre for the rear 1912 compared with 1011 are as. follows: Wheat, 20.42 bushels against 20.37;, oats. 89.26 against 37.76; barley, 31.10 against 38.94; rye, 17.44 against 18.89; peas, 14.98 agalast 16.80; buckwheat, 26.34 against 22.69; mixed grains, 33.67 against 29.78; flaxseed, 12.92 against 11.41; beans, 17.40 against 19.06; corn for husking, 66.68 against 69.69; potatoes, 172 against 144; turnips, etc., 402 against 874; hay and clover, 10.74 tons against 8.66, and alfalfa, 2.79 tons against 2 J4* The quality of the grains of cereals as shown br average * weight , per measured bushel is somewhat, inferior to that of last year in the case of wheat, rye* peas, mixed grains and flax, hot is superior in tbe case of oats, barley, buckwheat, beans arid corn for husking. . ' In the three Northwest provinces of Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta the production of wheat is placed at 183,322,000 bushels compared with 194,083,000 bushels in 1911; of oats at 221,758,000 bushels, compared with 212,819,000; and ��������������� barley at 26,671,- 000 bushels, compared with 24,043,000 bushels. The wheat production of 1912 in , Manitoba was 58,889,000 bushels from '2,653,100 acres; in Saskatchewan, 93,849,000 bushels from 4,891,500 acres, and in Alberta 30,574,* 000 bushels from 1,417,200 acres, Conditions as affecting live stock are reported to have been much the same as those of 1911. Mild weather through the fall and up to Christmas enabled farmers to economize their feeding supplies, and live stock have entered winter quarters in excellent condition.

Will Grandview be Chosen? The circulation of the report that the proposed new drill hall is to be located in Grandview has been responsible for a great deal of excitement recently in real estate circles. It is confidently asserted that options have already been secured on the property on Commercial arive between William and Charles streets, comprising a whole city block. The options are held by private parties, it is under stood, who refuse to disclose the plans for the proposed use of the tract. Rumors are being circulated to the effect that the federal government is negotiating for the block. However, as the property is on a hillside, it is claimed that,it would not be suitable for a drilling ground. Another pertinent suggestion is that the property may have been acquired as- a site for the proposed Canadian Northern Railway hotel. Alderman MeSpadden, who is one of the owners of the property, absolutely refuses to make any statement regarding the negotiations. Inquiries for property in Grandview during' the past week have been numerous; several sales have b*een made, in fact, there is ah unusual demand for realty throughout this section. The owners in the majority of cases are holding fast to their property in expectation of a big rise in vales at an early date. Charles E. Smith reports the sale of property on Bagley street for 34,300. The land was purchased by Mr. Donald McDonald, who will erect three houses on the property. Mr. Smith also reports the Bale of a lot on Victoria drive.���������World. HOW GORDIANO GOT HIS PULPIT. JMvite Van'.

Jan. 24.���������This paragraph is to be considered a nosegay laid at the feet of a man who kept plugging along until be got what be wanted. Sixteen years ago Samuel Gordiano lifted up bis eyes and found San Luis Potosi, Mexico, very "poor stuff. So he moved on. He was only twelve years old. It'ls rather dusty walking along the Mexican bolder, but be kept putting one foot after the other until he found work on a ranch in Texas. Not being bigger than a pint of cider, Gordiano got bis pay in cakeB. That Just suited bim. He had grown pretty lank on that stroll across tbe frontier. There were times when if he bad swallowed a bean some surgeon would bave wanted to operate on him for a tumor. 7- 7 Ten years ago he moved on to Ny- ack, N. Y. He could talk pretty fair English and a man's size ambition had grown up in him. He worked his way through tbe seminary at Nyack. Part of tbe time be washed dishes and waited on table, and did other menial tasks.. But he was graduated with scholastic bells on. By this time be bad grown In mental stature. He was able to make his living as an interpreter and translator while he studied at the Union Theological Seminary here. Sometimes he was pretty hard up. It isn't recorded that he ever asked for help. If he borrowed a dollar now and then, he always paid that ducat back before lt could be asked for. He won the degree of A. M. at Columbia University. He was approaching that ambition he had sighted at along the barrel of the years. By the aid of various agencies he established an evangelical church for the Spanish-speaking population Of New York. When not enough of the 20,000 N&w Yorkers who were "born to the Spanish tongue came to blm, he went to them. He used to preach to the cigar rollers between times. Sometimes he spent hours on the* watertjront looking for Spanish sailors who were "up against ' it." Finally the Iglesia Evangelica Espano* la���������having grown out of pocket slse ���������was given permission to hold its weekly meetings in Pr. Parkhnrat's. church on Madison-avenue. And how Gordiano is in fair sight of what he has been working for. The' corner-stone Of bis new church Is toisbe laid-in a few days. It will be the first evangelical church, for the Spanish folk in the two Americas. The Rev. Samuel Gordiano is happy. Chairman of . Bridges and Railways Committee Explains Clauses But States that Criticism Is Premature. Over forty members of the Grand- view Ratepayers' Association were present last week at a special meeting called to consider the question oi the. C. N. R. entry to False Creek. A resolution declaring that the meeting disapproved of the action of the bridges and railway committee was declared carried by the chairman, half of the attendance Btanding up to vote for it in response to the request of the chairman, but the other half took nq action. Messrs. W. R. Hamilton, A. B. Chapman and James Held, who are interested in the real estate business, were the principal speakers on the part of the opposition. * In addition Alderman Woodside, chairman of the bridges and railway committee,' Aid. Hepburn and Aid. Ramage were. present ���������/.'������������������ Mr. Jas. Reid, Dr. Strong, Mr. Thos. Odium, Mr. E. Adair, Mr. Shannon having spoken,- and several other members having been called upon to speak who, however, preferred not to do so, Aid. Woodside was called, upon. He explained his position as chairman of the bridges and railway committee. He claimed the city had secured the very best agreement possible, and spoke of the personal, stand he had taken in regard to securing the concession made as to the wages to be paid to laborers. He considered it rather premature to discuss a proposed agreement not yet printed for reference, and he thought the meeting was evidently called for the purpose of opposing the agreement. Notwithstanding this, he went on and touched oh features of the agreement, ultimately stating that if it was passed by council on Monday night the bylaw would then be advertised tor twenty days, which would give every opportunity for the expression of public opinion. .. Aid. Hepburn claimed there had been introduced so many things into the agreement, that the amount' the city would be getting out of It waa obscured. He estimated the amount would be only $1,103,650, made up as follows: $70,074 for filling in First avenue, $48,888 for filling in land behind block, $72,000 for filling in twelve acres, $8,888 for filling in Main street, $28,000 for filling in west of Main street, $15,000 for' widening First avenue, $200,000 as half cost of Carolina e-r Scott street bridge, $60,000 for cost of concrete wall 27 feet west of Main street. -From this, he said, should be deducted (if this work was not done) $28,800 for filling west of Main street, $30,000 for concrete wall and $300,000 for property in block 25, a total of $358,800, leaving $744,850 net, from which $7,150 cost of paving Main street should be taken, leaving Everybody's doing it-Who's doingit?

Tweflve-Month Term for Cheque Artist Charged with obtaining money under false pretences and issuing worthless cheques, N. A. McGowan was .sentenced to twelve months' Imprisonment by Magistrate Shaw this morning. McGowan, who is alleged to come of a wealthy and respectable-family from Texas, had. made several efforts to obtain help from his folks by telegraph, but no word had been received. vMr. J. K. Kennedy stated that It would be fair to the prisoner to say that he, Mr. Kennedy, had seen testimonials speaking of McGowan ln the highest terms, but his offence had been too heavy and too repeated to be excused and that may be caused by Inability to secure material for the steel bridges ia contract time. There are no less than 17 big bridges to be built in the British Columbia section, and" contractors have been complaining about delay in the forwarding of material. This delay in shipments is due in a great measure to the enormous demands for all kinds of structural steel all over the United States and Canada. ������������������ ".'��������� ... ., Aggressiveness for City Market.

A definite decision to proceed as soon as possible with the Improvement of the Kitsilano and English Bay bathing beaches and bath-houses was reached last week, when members of the Park Board and Mr. John R. Honeyman, architect, waded through the snow on an inspection tour, examined the' bath-houses and looked over the beaches. Messrs. Honeyman and Curtis, are to draw up plans in the near future for changes in the bathhouses, wttb the object of making them more convenient. The beaches will also undergo changes, but to what extent or wbat improvements will be effected in the bath-houses are not known as yet, for the Park Board has done nothing definite beyond deciding on action: One thing haB been practically decided, however, that this is the establishment of the locker system in the bath-houses, as used at the Beattie bathing, resorts. The locker system, it is stated, will make it possible to accommodate five 'times as many bathers with the same facilities aB at present. InBtead ef each bather having a bath-room, as at present, he will be {riven a room in which to change his bathing suit, after which he will surrender this room to other**. and put his clothes in a locker to be p'aced iu a general locker room.

Heavy financial commitments, it Is allegad, stand In the way of Great Britain's duty In this matter, and unless the force of public opinion can be brought to bear on the question, one more disastrous chapter will have to be added to the story of traffic which has brought woe to China while enriching the coffers ot the Indian government to the extant ot .four billion dollars.

Additional instances of damage to buildings owing to the weight of the melting snow on the roof has been reported from several different outlying sections of tho city. The most serious instance was the structure used as the gymnasium ot the Methodist Church, o>i the corner of Sixth avenue and Fir street, which totally collapsed this morning at 6.15 o'clock. The building was smashed to the ground, and tbe damages are estimated at $2,000. In falling the back wall was forced against tbe house at the rear of the church occupied by Mr. O'Sulllvan. His house was only slightly damaged, however. The heavy, watery snow so weighed down the building that it fell together like a house of cards. Fortunately nobody was hurt. The heavy snow is creating havoc with the lighter buildings in the city. A small galvanized house or shack on Georgia street, opposite the Horse Show building, collapsed this morning at 1.15 o'clock owing to the pressure of the melting snow. No damage was done to the building, which is only a temporary shack for building purposes. . ************************** ************************** Mo Delivery I No Credit Pbone.

She never failed to go over to a neighbor's after a session with the old man and complain bitterly of his treatment. After a while the neighbors grew weary of the oft-repeated tale, and remarked: "Well, you seem to like it. You always take it willingly. Why don't you pick up something and hit him with it the next time he whips you?" The wife considered the matter, and the next time her lord, began to. beat her she grasped a chair and smashed it over his head. The old man fell back, in stark amazement, dropped his hands and started at her. "Why, Mary! Why, Mary!" he whimpered. "What on earth is the matter with you?

Tbe father estab lisbed himself Iu the parlor wltb bit Bible and told tbe boy to he quiet ana ���������amuse himself. Young Opie, wbo hsd procured some paints, took up his position unobserved Ln tbe kitchen directly opposite ibt> parlor door. Very quietly he drew t portrait of the old man bending ovei bis Bible until he had finished everything except the* bead, when be begau running backward und forward to study his father's* race. The old pentletnan grew very angr* at these apparently aenseless Interrup tions aud tiircatftiod Co punish his sou if they cootiimcil This was exactly wbat tbe boy want ed, us be wished to palut bis father's eyes tit up aud sparkling witb anger So be continued his irritating behavior until It met with tne desired result, and bis futber. ji.stl.v wrutuful, adtnlu Istered a sound lurashlug. This achieved, tbe boy resumed hi? task- eagerly aud transferred to hi* picture the expression which be had just seen upon the face of bis indignant parent When bis mother returned frotr. church he placed the picture trium pbantly before her: bnt. altnongb aston Ished and delighted with it. she thought it her duty to scold her son severely for painting on a Sunday. Young Opie. however, cared no more for the scolding than for the beating he had received in accomplishing his work nnd only hugged his mother de lightedly in his excitement at Its sue cess. His father, coming into the room a I that Juncture and spying the portrait of himself, was so surprispd and pleas ed at it that he told the mother not to scold the boy any more. Subsequently, whenever the picture was Bbown, he used to tell with great relish the story of young Opie's plucky acceptance of a beating in order to in sure its success. ���������URNS' ANNIVERSARY CONCERT.

Mr. Southworth suggests certain changes In financial arrangements, which will allow an additional $2000 to be expended annual*; ly. Mr. Southworth, who was one of] the founders of the association and] president in 1909, and haa alwayi striven, earnestly to advance Its Interests, believes that the time hai come for a very rapid advance In mat*4 ters of foreat conservation. He statea that Ontario offers immense field fo the educational influence of the ai elation,, to aid ln the prevention of such fires as the Porcupine flre of twe years ago, which utterly devastate the new mining community and cause loss of life. . Whatever the change made in the activities of the association, they will be for the immediate extension of the good influence which it has wlelde for the twelve years of Its exlsteneel Says Mr. Southworth: 'The asa elation should arouse the opinion li Canada which will make such laws aa ��������� have been passed fully operative, and ' create a sentiment in favor of nev legislation on the matter of fire pro tectum. To my mind there is no poind as important, and I trust that the public will strongly support the asa elation is its efforts to promote morel judicious care of our forest resource."} Among those who will attend are the most prominent lumbermen, legis-l lators and financial men in the coun-J try.

In the call to the meeting Mr.v Jamei Lawler, the energetic secretary, ob*] serves: "There are Indications that con-' ditions were never more favorable fo renewed activity, and that the asso-1 elation can do more than ever in pro*! moting the interest to which it has| set Itself."

The time was coming when the Motherland would see the necessity of making a change in the* constitution which would admit representation by the Overseas Dominions and would enable the Mcthercountry, as the predominant partner, to be the controlling party of the altered constitution for the preservation of the* Dominions as well as the Motherland' itself. tt THE WESTERN CALL.

A. Prlngle (Storomont), moved the following resolution: "That in the opinion of this House the subpect of improving the condition of the aged, deserving poor, is worthy of and should receive the early and'careful attention of the Oovernment and of Parliament." " Iu support ot this resolution the mover pointed out the. necessity of establishing some system of contributory aid by the State for the benefit of the aged, deserving poor of Canada, by reading to the House a letter signed by the president and the secretary of the United Mine Workers of America, and by showing how tbe level of existence had been raised amongst the aged, and deserving poor of certain other countries. He reviewed reports and quoted portions of evidence which had been submitted to the British Parliament by Lord Ab* erdare's Royal Commission in 1895, Lord Rothschild's Committee in 1898, Sir Edward Hamilton's in 1900 and Mr. Grant Lawson's Select Committee on the Aged Pensioners Bill in 1903. Sir Wilfrid Laurier followed and the debate was continued by Mr. Maclean (York), Hon. Mr. Lemieux, Messr*. Verville, Porter, Robltaille and Bour- wssa. Views favourable to a Bystem of Old Age Annuities were expressed in preference to non-contributory systems of pensions. The motion wat not pressed to a vote and the resolution was withdrawn. On the Srd February, 1908, Mr. R. A. Prlngle moved: "That a Select Com* uiittee of nine be appointed to Inquire into, and to consider a scheme or schemes by State aid or otherwise for making provisions for the aged, and deserving poor " This resolution was supported by Messrs. Mae- donell (Toronto), Logan, Smith (Nanaimo), Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon. Mr. Foster, Hon. Mr. Fielding, Messrs. A. Johnston and A. A. Lefurgey. On the 10th February, 1908, a Select Committee was appointed: Hon. Mr. Lemieux, chairman, Messrs. Mclntyre (Perth, S.R.), Sinclair, Smith (Nanalmo), McKenzie, Verville, Monk, held It was found impossibles-owing Prlngle and McCarthy (Calgar*). The chairman had made arrangement* with Messrs. Blue, Acland and King for certain information to be supplied to the Committee. Professor Adam Shortt and two other eminent sociologists bad been communicated wlt]b,, who were expected to give valuable evl dence, but after three sittings ha^ been to morning sessions of the Bous# giving begun, to reconvene the Committee. No report was presented ;^o the House, other than a verbal statement made by the chairman on the/lOtb of July, ten days before the OhJ Age Annuities Act, 1908, was assented to by the Governor General. Old Aoe Annuities Act, 1*08, The attitude ot the Government, aa expressed in 1907 on the subject of Old Age Pensions during tbe/-cowse of debate on Mr. Pringle's resolution, was further revealed by a resolution which Hon. Mr. Fielding moved on the 10th March, 1908, to authorize the sale ol government annunities to people domiciled In Canada. He accordingly moved the House into Committee; the resolution was adopted and the same day Bill No. 120, an Act to authorize the issue of Government Annuities for Old Age was presented. Before proceeding to the inquiry by the Sleet Committee on Old Age Pen slons ordered by the House in 1912, it may be of Interest to state briefly some of the provisions ot this Act. Its preamble reads as follows:���������- "Whereas It is in the public interest that habits of thrift be promoted and that the people of Canada be encouraged and aided thereto, so that provision may be made for old age; and whereas it is expedient that further facilities be afforded for the attainment of the said objects: Therefore His Majesty,' etc. ,"(a) The Minister (Trade and Commerce), acting for His Majesty, may contract, with any person domiciled in Canada, or with any Bosiety or association of persons, being a body corporate for fraternal, benevolent, religious or other lawful purposes on behalf of such ot Its members, or with employers of labour pursuant to agreement entered into with their employees In that behalf (such agreement to be of a form approved by the Minister), for the sale of annuities not less than S50 nor more than $600 payable by the Government out of the. Consolidated Revenue Fund to such purchaser on having attained the age of 55 years. Note.���������Cost of annuity is lower of purchaser draws first payment at 60. "(b) Should tbe annuitant die before the date fixed for the annuity to begin, all payments made will be returned to the legal representatives of the purchaser with 3 per cent, compound Interest. "(c) The earliest age at which the purchase may be begun is 5, but it may begin at any age thereafter. "(d) There are no penalities or forfeitures. To ������������ach purchaser a contract or policy is issued. If for any reason payments should cease, they may be renewed at any time; and if arrears are not made up the only effect will be that a smaller annuity will be secured. "(e) The annuity is not transferable, but it is provided under the Act that where the purchaser of an annuity is made by husband or wife, he or she has the right when the annuity matures to say if it is desired that a portion of the annuity shall be paid to the other. (Amended in 1909.) "(f) The property and interest of an annuitant in ,hls contract for an annuity is exempt from the operation Of any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, and shall not be seized or levied upon by or under the process of any court, except where it is shown that such contract was entered into and payment therefore made with In* tent to delay, hinder, or defraud creditors. In the latter case the creditors must establish such Intent before a court, and the Minister la authorized to pay to them any sum paid in by the annuitant. " (g) Payments can be made periodically to any agent of the Minister appointed under the provisions of the Act, "(h) If a person has an amount at his credit in the Post Office Savings Bank, he may have this amount, or such portion' of it, as ho may- desire, transferred to the Annuities Depart* ment for, or on account of, the pur* chase ot an annuity. "(1) Any one over the age of 55 may buy ah Immediate Annuity; and last Survivor Annuity, Immediate or Deferred, may be purchased by any two persons by a single payment" Friday, January 31.1913 Foreigners Interested in B.

Tbere waa expended in India last year about $6,000,000, hot this was returned with $3,000,000 profit. The expenditure in British Columbia last year on provincial forests was about "$280,000, or one* eighteenth of the amount spent la India, while the returns to the Crow* were. $2,800,000.

Bthnologlcally Great Britain Is a mixture of many races, resulting from a succession of Invasions. When the Romans invaded Britain the Inhabitants were Celtic, mixed with an earlier Euskarlan non-Aryan element. They continued to be mainly so until the fifth and sixth centuries, when the level parts of tbe country were overrun by German tribes. Then followed invasions by the Danes and other Scandinavian tribes, and lastly the Norman conquest. The Inhabitants of England and the lowlands of Scotland, therefore, sprang from an amalgamation of the original Celtic with German and Scandinavian blood. Wales and the highlands of Scotland are still inhabited by descendants of the ancient Celtic tribes. Tbe people of Ireland also are of Celtic origin, although there is an admixture of many other races. I Lendooene Portioning ,.
