HAVE BEEN DECEIVED IHE Paris Matin reproduces the following article from the Berlin Tag, a Conservative newspaper, according to the Eclairuer de [Nice, of March 29, ''We have been deceived in all our calculations. We expected that the whole of India Iwould revolt at the first sound of. the guns in [Europe, but, lo! thousands and tens of thousands [of Indians are now fighting with the English [against us. 'We expected that the British Empire would [crumble to pieces, but the British colonies have 'united,, as they have never done before, with [the mother country. "We expected a glorious revolt in British [South Africa, and we see there only a fiasco. 'We expected disturbances in Ireland, and Ireland sends against us some of her best contingents. ' 4 "We thought the peace party all powerful i in England, but it has disappeared amid the i general enthusiasm thatjthe war against Germany has aroused. "We reckoned that England was degenerate and incapable of being a serious factor in the war, and she shows herself, to be our most dangerous enemy. ''It was the same thing'..with France and j Russia. We thought that France was corrupt, (jand that she had Tost the sense of national solidarity, but we now learn that the French are | formidable - adversaries. - "We thought that Russia could do nothing, I we believed that her people were too prof oundly [discontented to fight in fervor of the Russian government; we counted on its rapid collapse as a great military power, but Russia has mobilized her millions of men very rapidly and very well. Her people are full of enthusiasm, and her fofce is crushing.- "Those who have led us into all these faults, all these calculations, all. these mistakes about our neighbors and their affairs, have assumed a heavy burden of responsibility. . ENCROACHING UPON PRIVATEOWNERSHIP WE call attention to the fact that apparently without intent there has been a steady and, we think, unwarranted encroachment upon the title of owners to property, during the last few years in this province. XThe drift has been far more rapid than has been understood by the investors in lands. For-instance. The right to sell the whole or any part of the land owned has been infringed ��������� -upon. ... V, . X As to subdivision for instance.. The municipal council has been made the arbiter of. the way land shall be subdivided. Take full notice of what is said in this regard. If a person have a call for one single piece -pf-land which .cuts into_a larger.block of__land^ the registrar claims and exercises the right to demand a subdivision plan covering the whole. But in order to meet the demand the owner is then compelled to take that plan to the municipal council for approval, and, without that approval the plan cannot be registered. , Now th^Xouncil often takes the whim that it wiU not allow the land to be divided in that way and so the land is blocked, the sale is blocked and as far as administering his own property is concerned, the owner finds, that he is at a standstill. ._��������� Of course some of the registrars are reasonable. But it is well known that some of them are' the' very reverse, and that there are simple registrations which should have been made long ago which have been held up for years, because Xhe things demanded by the ^etiuncil or the registrar cannot be legally complied with. Again, there have been errors or favors granted to adjoining owners and their plans have been put through without the usual roads. In some cases the municipality has used or attempted to use, its power of blocking the registering of the plan unless the owner would consent to give double allowance of road to remedy the mistake or favor granted to his neighbor, and this without remuneration. Now, there were reasons for giving the municipalities the right to pass upon plans, but it was not expected that these powers would be used in. such an arbitrary manner as they have been. ; In fact, the powers they claim and exercise go much farther than the government ever intended. There must be a remedy of these matters if the owner of lands is to have the enjoy- 'Vment of them. Again,' there is a hardship in the fact that plans of subdivision, have to be prepared, the survey has to be completed, and the plan signed by the surveyor before it can be officially recognized by the council. Then/ if the council refuses to accept the plan all that work has been in vain and the expense wasted. Or if changes have to be. made the surveyor is bound to return to the ground and stake personally -the changes, at additional expense. The obvious' thing would be for the council first to approve of the proposed plan before the expense of survey, or to state what changes TAX SALES A Striking illustration of the evils of the present tax sale system was presented in Mr. Weatherly's letter in last issue. There are many who can duplicate the experience. . That the municipality should sell the whole of property which cost $6,800 in order to collect $153 is outrageous. X No excuse can be offered which would justify such a course, and that the title of all that land should be taken on such a flimsy excuse,f no matter how legal the proceedure, is in equity simply robbing the owner of his rights. No such drastic method is necessary. Nothing in equity can justify the proceedure. Nothing but incompetence would bring about such a condition of affairs. It seems that there has been altogether too much power given into the hands of a body of men, namely the municipal council, who do not at all realize the serious nature of their poweri vj ,������������������'���������'' ���������'.. No land should be offered for sale until it.has been subjected to a tribunal qualified to guard the vested interests in the land from such grotesque proceedings. The pages of the Call are open for the publishing of facts in regard to the matter. In the meantime we invite property owners to organize to present this and other matters dealing with the land question to the government. We are assured that when the matter is .so presented it will receive prompt attention and remedy. ��������� i ; ���������������������������XXX -\ ;" X ���������'��������� If there is no other way this paper will beiglad to receive applications for membership in such an organization, and when a sufficient number has been received, will issue a call through these pages for a meeting to organize such an association. rx FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WORK AT VANCOUVER The grant is as follows: Completing of wharf $900,000.00 Completing of Elevator ��������� 700,000.00 Dredging False Creek 459,000.00 Dredging First Narrows ...... 300,000.00 .

At the same time we cannot but congratulate the government on the fact that amid the unusual and crushing responsibilities which have fallen upon a government for the first tiine at war, it is not in the least relaxing, but rather increasing its efforts to meet the domestic situation, and by its own confidence in the country and its future showing the way for that private confidence which is so greatly needed. Also, we congratulate the government that the work being undertaken is of a profitable character. The public wharf will immediately begin to repay the money spent in it by lowering the wharf rates which have been well nigh prohibitive and in actual returns of revenue. The elevator bids fair to' be the most profitableXmterpriseV for^the^city; the province, ^nd" the country at large which has ever been undertaken here by either public or private concern. The iinmigation buildings and the post offices are absolutely needed and profitable investments. AH these things are following out the lines advocated by the Call, namely, the undertaking and pushing of such profitable public works as the country requires. 8. JI. STEVENS, M. P. THESE are war times, and the government is . being called upon to undertake abnormal. 'expenditure. Any grants which are made at this time can be received as double the ordinary grant in the ordinary year. That is to say, a grant of three millions this year would be as hard to obtain, and would cause as much consideration to the government as a grant of six million would in normal times. . There was not much hope held-out for a large grant this- yearr.especially-4n-view-of-the. larger sums lately expended in the city. AH the greater is our ^pleasure at the report brought back by Mr. Stevens in regard to this matter. The grant this year, \vhich is settled, is in the neighborhood of threeNmillion of dollars, and with the amount hoped for, the amount to be expended in this constituency this year will approach nearly three and a half millions. would be required and then the ground could be surveyed according to the^. views of the council. In cases where the survey would mean a large outlay the proposed plan has been laid before been favorable. Armed with this the owner has the council and the expression of opinion has gone^ forward with the survey, only to have it turned down flat after the survey had been done at a cost of several hundred dollars. Again, the act requires that land shall be surveyed and. the plan then submitted to the council and upon being approved shall then be regis tered within a limited number of days from the date of the signature of the plan by the surveyor. But the act does not limit the time the council may hold up the plan. Again and again the council have held up a plan for more than the number of days allowed for the registry of the same after the signing of it by the surveyor. This invalidates the plan, and unless the surveyor is generous enough to re-date it, all the expense of a survey has to be undergone -again. At all events there is added delay and cost. Still further, after the council has approved a plan and it is presented for registration, it has to run the gauntlet^ of an engineer in the land office, -and if the plan does not suit his ideas, although he has no knowledge of the land, the registration is refused. If the engineer in the. land titles office were there to 'see that the boundaries do i not overlap well. But that he should pass on the interior part of the plan, which has already been passed by the council, seems absurd. All these things and many others go to show that the right of ownership of- the land is passing from the individual very rapidly, and it is time the owners awoke to the need of ��������� protecting their property rights. THE WAR^SPROGRESS STILL the conflict rolls along its bloody course. The outstanding feature of the matter now appears to be the patience of the allies. Russia is undergoing an awful hammering. She has done the apparently impossible in scaling the Carpathian mountains in midwinter in the face of natural obstacles, in the face of artificial defences, and in the face of the combined strength of Austria and Germany. But the cost has been fearful. Now she begins to debouch upon the plain. As always, this will be a moment fraught with danger. Her long line of communication passing through the mountains will have to take the place of the direct backing her army receives at all points on the other side of the mountains. - Part of. her offensive forces will have per force to lie exposed outside the mountains, while other forces are slowly making their, way through their passes. If the Austro-Germans can bring their full strength to bear upon the exposed part before the rest can debouch on to the plain to their help there would be grave danger. But the Russian leader seems to know his business, and will, hug the protection of the mountains.-^. It would seem that if he continues to do this until the floods of the west and of the north subside and the land becomes dry enough for cavalry and artillery, then it is certain that Germany will be forced to recall her troops from this front to defend the other fronts. After that the position of the Russian forces now invading Hungary will be good. In the west and in the north the floods of the spring are taking the place of armies of defence, both for Germany and her allies. Because of this Germany has been able to spare men for the Carpathian front. But this will not long continue. ALIEN UNEMPLOYED MR. Stevens has been active in regard to the v alien unemployed. s A conference between Mr. Bowser and Mr. Stevens has brought out the fact that this is not the only point affected by the unemployed question. At Fort George alone there are being ' fed at the provincial government's expense about two hundred alien enemies besides two hundred Russians; X In Vancouver there are being fed two hundred alien enemies and about fifteen hundred other non-residents. The conference between Mr. Borden and Mr. Stevens at Ottawa has apparently not yet borne fruit because the military authorities claim both interment camps are full, and they have, therefore, made no attempt to carry out Mr. Borden's instructions. Mr.. Stevens has wired Mr. Borden urging * first, the formation\pi a new interment camp to take care of alien enemies, secondly, that the Russians be deported under arrangements with the , Russian consul-general, and that the deportation of all other foreigners should be proceeded with under the law. Also that a large number of expert mechanics ready to proceed to the old country if assisted and who are willing to repay J their passage money from wages to" be earned in England should be assisted to do so. Mr. Stevens has also wired the Hon. Robt. Rogers, regarding the matter of the unemployment, and has urged in the strongest terms the immediate calling for tenders for the post offices and the drill hall, which will assist materially in furnishing employment. v ' ( We trust that all these jnatters will have prompt attention and action. THE CHURCH AND THE WAR WHAT is -the message of the pulpit to the people regarding the war? That the war has had a cause is certain. That God is trying to teach a needed message is also certain. Now if the pulpit be the inter- ���������PX?J*?r of the Divine mind, it is time that the message"should be heard clearly.' >-'--- - - - * Last week we pointed out that the church is failing as the leader of the devotions of the people, having special reference to the tremendous conflict of the battle fields and to the tremendous upheaval in political and social matters which is accompanying it. X This charge the pulpit will have to submit to we fear, for the charge is true.' As to the message. What are the facts and to what end does this conflict tend? Is there any guide ' in the predictive message of the word of God to direct our thoughts, or must the world await the event with nothing but their own patriotism to give assurance of the event? What are the causes. Are there outstanding causes which have brought and still continue to bring such awful calamities to men? We think there are causes, and ,;that they -are -plainly- indicated:--^--^ - ^^-V^-^.^-- 1. National pride on the part of Germany first, and of others. "Germany Uber Alles" explains much. 2. The pagan philosophy which has so fully taken the place of the simple story of the Gospel. 3. The great sin of the nations, above any that modern society has developed, namely race suicide. It is horrible to think that the motherhood of the nations has been blighted, and that there s*- has been developed a womanhood which has been the cause of. the murder of their own offspring at the fountain head of life. Bridge whist and society have been more important than the functions of motherhood, and here has been the result. More horrible than the conflict of the men in the trenches has been the slaughter of the innocents in the homes. Lesser, but still fearful, has been the old time social evil rampant in many of the lands now being ravaged. God .is trying to lead the nations to repentance. God is desiring to hear the voices of sinners enquiring the way of life. God has desired to bring the nations to their knees in prayer for pardon and' salvation. Where are the leaders of the people in these lines? That the people have wanted such leading and have been ready to follow, the men on the street and in the shops know. What is -the result to be? An. opportunity lost? A Gethsemane������suffered in vain? Only the conversion of the pulpit to the old time evangel can meet the need. In the meantime it looks as though Germany had given up that part of her scheme which looks to further progress in Belgium and France. No abiding outline is possible for the German military staff, as they appear to frequently change their minds. But we may expect this, that on one plea or another Germany will find an excuse to retreat from Belgium. Their position there reminds one of. the plight of the farmer who set a trap for a badger and caught a panther. The beast was full of fight and the only way the farmer eo\ild keep out of the way of its claws was to take it by the tail and hold it against the pull of the trap, thus spreadeagling the powerful beast. In the meantime he roared lustily for help. THE WESTERN CALL Friday, April 23, 1915.

GREAT NORTHERN COMMENCES WORK The Great Northern Railway company, in an endeavor to fulfil its pledges to the civic bridges and railways committee, has at last made a start in connection with the. establishment of its ter- minal and depot at False Creek Several teams and a large gang of men are now at work grading and filling in on the site of the proposed new depot. Meanwhile the company is hoping to secure the sanction of the city council to an extension of time in which to complete, the whole work. The ccmmittee is not favorably impressed in regard to extension of time, as it is felt that the railway company has transgressed quite enough in this direction already. (New York Evening Post) The following article was written by a German officer to popularize the submarine in Germany in view of the "blockade" of Great Britain. It has appeared in several German newspapers: " 'U-27 will take in provisions and clear for sea. Extreme economical radius." A first lieutenant, with acting rank of commander, takes the order in the gray dawn of a February day. The hulk of an old corvette with the Iron Cross of 1870 on her stubby foremast is his quarters in port, and on the corvette's deck he is presently saluted by his first engineer and the officer on the watch. On the pier the crew of "U-47" await him. At their feet the narrow grey submarine lies alongside, straining a little at her cables] "Well, we've our orders at last," begins the commander, addressing his crew of thirty, and the crew grin. For this is "U- 47V' first experience of active service. She has done nothing save trial trips hitherto, and has just been overhauled for her first fighting cruise. Her commander snaps out a number of orders. Provisions are to be taken in "up to the neck," fresh water is to be put aboard, and engine- l'oom supplies to be supplemented. A mere plank is the gangway to the little vessel. As the commander, followed by his officers, comes aboard, a sailor hands to each a ball of cotton waste, the sign and symbol of a submarine officer, which never leaves his hand. For the steel, walls of his craft, the door, and the companion-ladder all sweat oil, and at every touch the hands must be wiped dry. The doorways are narrow round holes. Through one of the holes j aft the commander descends. by a breakneck iron ladder into the black hole lit by electric glowlamps; The air is heavy with the smell of oil, and to the unaccustomed longshoreman it is almost choking, though the hatches are off; The submarine man breathes this air as if. it were the purest ozone. Here in the engine-room aft men must live and strain every nerve even if for days1 at a time every crack whereby the fresh'air could get in is hermetically sealed. On their tense watchfulness lives depend. ..������������������ The Cruise Begins At daybreak the Commander comes oh' deck in coat and trousers of black leather lined with wool, a protection against oil. cold, and sea water. The crew at their stations await the command to cast off. "Machines clear," calls a voice from the control-station, and "Clear ship" snaps the order from the bridge. Then "Cast-off!" The cables slap on to the landing-stage, the engines begin to purr, and "U- 47" slides away into open Water. A few cable-lengths away another sub-marine appears homeward bound. She is the "U-20" returning from a long cruise in which she succeeded in sinking a ship bound with a cargo of frozen mutton for England. "Good luck, old sheep-butcher," sings the commander of "U-47" as the sister-ship passes within ,hail. The seas are heavier now, and the "U-47" rolls unpleasantly as she makes the lightship and answers the. last salute from a friendly hand. The two officers \on the bridge turn once to look at the lightship already astern, then their eyes look seaward. It is rough, stormy weather. If the egg-shell goes ahead two three days without a stop, SACRIFICE AND SERVICE CANCELLATION OF RESERVE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the reserve covering certain lands in the vicinity of Trail Bay, Sechelt, by reason of a notice published in the British Columbia Gazette on the 27th of December, 1907, is cancelled in so far as it relates to Lots 4292, 4293, 4394, 4296, 4297, 4298, 4299, 4300, 4301, 4304, 4305, 4306, 4307, 4308, 4309, 4310, 4311, 4312, 4313, and 4314, New Westminster District.

CITY EWiOTRJCUN G.WEN AUJHORJTY As an outcome of the recent investigation into the working of the - city - electricalXdepartment, the sub-committee appointed to consider the evidence adduced made the following recommends tion at a specially called meeting on Monday evening: 1. That absolute authority be placed in the hands of. the head of the city electrical department, regarding all matters pertaining to the, engagement and dismissal of employees of the department and the carrying out of the work of the department. 2. That when the city electrician is confronted with any problem relating to his department which he considers is of a serious nature, he .must consult with the fire and police committee before arriving at any definite conclusion regarding same. 3. That the City Electrician be required at all times to support all reports and findings of the inspectors of his department, with regard to infringements of the city by-laws, unless it is clearly demonstrated that the inspector has misinterpreted the by-law. 4. That the city electrician in the promotion or dismissal of employees of. the electrical department, shall recognize efficiency first at all times, and that seniority of employment in the service of the city, all other things being equal, be given preference. Tlie new map of Greenland, marking the results of. recent discoveries, shows a country 150,- 000 square miles larger than it was formerly thought to be. . When France completes the warships she now has under construction she will take the third place in naval power and reduce the United .States bo fourth place. Engines and Armament Here, too, are slung some hammocks, and in them one watch tries, and, what is more, succeeds in sleeping though the men ! mov ing about buhip them with head and elbow at every turn, and the low and narrow vault is fill of the hum and purr of machinery. In length the vault is about ten feet, but if a man of normal stature stands in the middle: and raises his arms tpj^about^Vhalf ihoulder, height his hands! will touch the cold moist steel walls on either side. A network of wires runs overhead, and there is a juggler's outfit of handles, levers, and instruments. The commander inspects everthing J minutely, then creeps through a hole into the central station, where the chief, engineer is at his post, with just about enough assistance to run a fairly simple machine ashore the chief engineer is expected to control, correct, and, if necessary, repair at sea an infinitely complex machinery which must not break down for an instant if thirty men are to return alive to the hulk. The commander pays a visit of inspection to the torpedo-chamber and strokes the smooth steel of the deadly "silver fish." His second-in-command, who is in charge of the armament, joins him here and receives final instructions regarding the torpedoes and the stowing of explosives. For the torpedo is not only an extremely complicated weapon, but also a fine work of art, and it demands a very thorough apprenticeship. Forward is another narrow steel vault serving at once as engine-room and crew's quarters. Next to it is a place like a cupboard, where the cook has just room to stand in front of his doll's house galley-stove. It is electrically-heated that the already oppressive air may not be further vitiated by smoke or fumes. A German submarine in any case smells perpetually of coffee and cabbage. Two little cabins of the size of a decent clothes-closet take the deck and engine-room officers, four of them. Another box-cabin is reserved for the commander���������when he has time to occupy it. or ...... the officers in charge will get no sleep for just that long. If it gets any rougher they will- be tied to the bridge-rails to avoid being swept overboard. If they are hungry, plates of. soup will be brought tothem on thebridge, and the North Sea will attend to its salting for them. X Just as the commander is trying to balance a plate with one hand and use a spoon with the other, the watch calls, "Smoke oh the horizon off the port bow.'' The commander drops his^plate shouts a short, crisp command, and an electric alarm whirrs inside the egg-shell. The ship buzzes like a hive; Then water begins to gurgle anto the ballast- tanks, and "U-47" sinks until only her periscope shows. "The steamship is a Dutchman, sir," calls the, watch officer. The commander inspects her with the aid of a periscope. She; has no wireless and is bound for the continent. So he can come up and is glad, because moving under the wTater consumes electricity, and the usefulness of a subma rine is measured by her electric power. J Sinking for Sleep After fifty-four hours of waking nerve-tension, sleep becomes a necessity. So the ballast-tanks are filled and the nut-shell sinks to the sandy bottom. This is the time for sleep aboard a subma rine, because a sleeping man consumes less of the precious =oxygen,than one awake andbusy. So a submarine man has three principal lessons to learn ��������� to keep every facility at tension when he is awake, to keep stern silence when he is ashore (there is a warning against talkativeness in all the German railway- carriages now) and to sleep instantly -when he gets a legitimate opportunity. His sleep and the economy of oxygen may save the ship. However the commander allows half, an hour's grace for music. There is a gramophone, of course, and .the "ship's band" performs on all manner of instru ments. At worst, a comb with a bit of tissue paper is pressed into service. If a ship is sunk, three men only in the submarine wilbwatch her go. A submarine man might hitherto .serve all his time like a blind man as far as the outside world was concerned. Just before the war one of a submarine's crew about to be sent ashore to join the reserve, was asked by his commander if there was anything he-would specially like to celebrate his last trip. "Yes, sir," he said, "I should like jnst once to have a glimpse with the periscope." The story went the round and now, during the war. the crew are occasionally summoned, one by one, to the periscope. When opportunity offers they are also given a chance'to see a merchant ship sunk. It is considered encouraging. ������������������' ' . ; V , War is a time of sacrifice and of service: Someone can render one service,, some another; some here, and some there. Some one can render great assistance^ ;oth: ers but little. There is not one who cannot help in some measure, if it only be by enduring cheerfully his share of, the discomfort. In the old Welsh legend there is a story of a man who was given a series of what- appeared to be impossible tasks to perform ere he could reach the desire of his heart. Among other things he had to do was to recover every grain of seed that had been sown in a large field and bring it all in without one missing. By sunset he camp to an anthill and won all the hearts and enlisted the sympathies of the industrious little people. They spread over the field, and before sundown the seed was all in except one. And as the sun was setting over the western skies, a lame ant hobbled along with that grain. Some of us have youth and vigor and suppleness of limb; some of us are crippled with years of infirmities, and we are at best little ants, but we can all limp along with some share of our country's burden, and thus help her in this terrible hour to win the desire of her heart."���������Mr. Lloyd George. A Cairo correspondent writes to the Manchester Guardian that owing to the falling of the Nile Egypt will have to import nearly all of her rice this year. The Nile has not been so low for nearly one hundred years, and the facilities, for water storage have distress.

(near Wain) EISTEDDFOD AT SAN FRANCISCO GREAT ARMY ADEQUATELY EQUIPPED Lloyd-Oeorge Makes Statement That Britain's Great Fighting Force is in Good Shape. Speaking, in the House of Commons of the Imperial parliament this week on the manner in which the government is dealing with the question of war equipr wentr the^Chanceilor^ of the VEJx^ chequer, Mr. Lloyd-Oeorge, announced that while Great Biitain had started in the war on the assumption that the expeditionary force would consist of six divisions, the country now had tyore than six times that number ' /A France. ' These divisions, the Chancellor of' the Exchequer said, were adequately supplied, and every man who had been dropped was replaced. It was one of the most magnificent pieces of organization ever performed, and nothing like it, he &aid, had ever been done before by any country. Stating that as much ammunition had been expended in the battle of Neuve Chapelle as during tbe whole Boer war, Mr. Lloyd-George said tbat the character of. the ammunition had to be changed in the middle of the war. and to secure supplies subcontracts were given to between 2500 and .3000 firms. When it was found that they could not keep up the supply, the government took steps to take over all works suitable for the manufacture of munitions. ' As a result there had" been a great increase in the output. If they took the figure''of 20, the Chancellor said, as the amount of artillery ammunition manufactured in September, in October \ it was 90, in November the same, but in December 156. January 186, in February 256 and in March 388. Mr. Lloyd-George said that Great Britain was also supplying her allies with munitions, and that in spite of this there still was a large reserve. The Chancellor adhered to his ���������'statement'that a small minority of workmen could, through drink, throw the whole work out of gear. He promised that when the government measure was introduced dealing with this matter it would be found that it had not been approached from the point of view by persons who wished to express any particular notion, but from the point of view of persons who had one object in mind���������increasing munitions. Xlt'V.-^M."!-^-- ^ s-ay*ni> t^JS was Tip more "drinking than normally,: the speaker said. These were abnormal times and they had to take abnormal measures with an evil which had become abnormal. WILI. CUiAN THE CITY Aid. Gale, chairman of the health committee, is authority for the statement that a gang of men, probably' 120 or so, would be set to work to clean up the city. These men were being fed by the city, and it is felt that by this means they will partially pay for their keep.- X MR. GIFFORD SELECTED Editor Western Call: Sir,���������A considerable time ago I called attention to my purpose of organizing a choir in this district to prepare music fOr and take part in the Eisteddfod, at San Francisco, end of July this year. Owing to the backward state of business, followed and accentuated by the great war now in progress, I was regretfully led to abandon efforts in that direction for quite a.while. Recently, however, some friends renewed the idea with me as one feasible enough in spite of prevailing financial stringency, if it could be carried out on well defined, economic lines, and certainly the pleasure of the trip and the musical work connected with it would be worthy of, a more than usually strenuous effort to attain that end. Acting upon this basis I have already got possession of all the copies of choral numbers required, and with a large nucleus for the choir already organized in the Western Triple Choir and members of New Westminster Operatic Society %(at present giving performances of Gilbert & Sullivan's "Gondoliers" in the Opera House, New Westminster), I am sanguine of conjoining such a body of singers as will be in a position to do credit to not only our own district but British Columbia at the Panama Exposition, now in full swing. I have, therefore pleasure in offering invitation to singers of all the parts from districts within convenient distance of either Vancouver or New Westminster to meet me for the former at Aberdeen school, Burrard and Smythe, at 7.30 on Wednesday, April 28th; and for the latter on Saturday, April 24th. at 7.30, in the hall of St. Paul's Reformed Anglican church at New Westminster. Of course, only those with good voices and fair musical experience and aptitude can be incorporated. Also, while the individual expense will be minimized to the utmost, only those who are in a position to bear this and are able to spare the time���������about two weeks at end of July���������may consider themselves eligible. For the information of all eon cerned, I (may explain that after most careful enquiries and assurances, the total cost per person need not exceed $45 tor tran sit, lodging and feeding during the entire trip, all the arrange ments being carried out by the committee acting in the matter. I may also add that it is expected a large number of friends will join the party, many having already signified their desire to do so. GEORGE TAGGART, Conductor. 1511 3rd Ave. E., Vancouver. Phone, High. 304LX SASKATCHEWAN ���������- HEWS ITEMS At the New Westminster Conservative convention this week Mr.. Thomas Gifford, the present member, was selected as candidate for the riding in the forthcoming provincial election. Mr. Gifford . has served fourteen years in the provincial legislature as member from New Westminster, and this is. the sixth consecutive time that he has been selected as Conservative standard bearer. Two other names were placed in nomination, Mr. W. F. Hansford and Mr. H. L. Edmonds. On the first ballot Mr. Gifford secured 237. Mr. Hsmsford 183, and Mr. Edmonds 89. Mr. Edmonds dropped out, and on the second ballot Mr. Gifford received 265 and Mr. Hansford 237. Thereupon Mr. Hansford moved and Mr. Edmonds seconded that the nomination be made unanimous. Since the earthquake fifty thousand new buildings have been 1 erected at San Francisco. Regina���������An indication of the remarkable growth in Saskatchewan is given in the official government report, which reads as follows:- "The gradual opening up of the Great Northwest to the cultivation of grain, especially wheat, during the last three decades, has lead to important changes in the provincial incidence of principal field crops. The proportions of the total grain, crops grown in the respective provinces in each year of the census years 1880 to 1910 are shown in the form of a series of five charts. One of these relating to wheat shows that whereas in 1880 84 p. c. of the wheat crop was produced in Ontario, in 1890 this proportion was reduced to one half by the development of wheat growing in Manitoba, where 38 p.e. of the wheat crop was produced. The next decade did not greatly alter these proportions, but Saskatchewan appeared with nearly 8 p.e. By 1910, however, Saskatchewan had forged ahead, becoming the premier wheat-growing province with over 50 per cent of ,a greatly increased production, ��������� Manitoba dropping to second place with 25.8 p.m. and Ontario to third place with 15 p.e. whilst Alberta appeared as fourth with a percentage of. 6.9. The Forests of British Columbia are so Extensive as to Support in perpetuity an Industry Worth $170,000,000 Annually ' MI8CELLANEOU Many remarkable instances of patriotic devotion in the going to the front of a number from a family have cropped up in tbe present war. A notable one is that of the family of Dev. Dr. J. Campbell, of Erskine church, Victoria, B. C. Dr. Campbell has four sons, two are at the front with the Gordon Highlanders of Canada; and he other two ���������the eldest and youngest���������are going with the next contingent. Dr. Campbell, himself is chap lain of the Gordons, and expects shortly to be able to devote his whole time to the different regiments at the "Willows Camp," Victoria. He is ready to go with the , Highlanders should the chance come. The lavishness of the Kaiser in the bestowal of iron crosses and other decorations has been a subject for admiration at home and derision in unsympathetic and less ornamented nations. Thus, one English cartoon has shown the interior of the Krupp workB changed from gun-making tothe metal emblems in enormous qnan feverish manufacture of these tities. The civil population of Germany are not forgotten by the Kaiser, and the news despatches of a recent day informed us that Ernst liissauer, who voiced the German view of England in his "Chant of Hate,'' had been approved by a decoration from the head of the Fatherland: AEROPLANES FOR RUSSIAN ARMY Fifteen cars of aeroplanes for use by the Russian army were shipped from Tacoma this week on the Japanese steamer "Haku- shira Maru." There are about 150 aeroplanes valued at between $3,000 and $4,000 each. "looking at the situation In even its most favorable light, there will be a demand ft* foo4tbat the worW wiU find great difficulty in supplying." SON. MARTIN BVRRELL, Minister of Agriculture. \7������GETAPLE growers can render a real service to the Empire by increasing tbe produc- ��������� tion of vegetables, especially those that can readily be stored and transported. The war in Europe has devastated thousands of vegetable-producing acres, and made it difficult for JJriuiin to obtain her usual supplies. Vegetable growers are urged to select carefully the best varieties of seed and plant in properly cultivated and fertilized soil. Work: band in band with the agricultural specialists of both tbe Canadian Department of Agriculture and your Provincial Department. POTATOES There_������ . no fann crop the yield of which, perhaps, can be increased so much as potatoes. Potatoes bave been grown in a small plot at the rate of over 700 bushels per acre at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. So great is the difference in the yield of varieties that while one gave this large yield, another, under same conditions, gave but 164 bushels. It will thus be seen how important it is to plant a productive variety. BEANS P������ [������* that ������������������������������������ beans have been a good price for a number of years, and also that they are of very great food value, should encourage every person who can to grow beans. Western market prices will not be influenced this year by foreign beans, and for that reason we should produce a bumper crop. The world will need them. To the farmer's wife, tko Government makes a special appeal. In many cases the vegetable garden and the poultry are largely under her direct management. Anything that she can do to Increase production .Will be to much aid given to tho Empire. Canadian Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada POULTRY ������n4 EGGS Up to the commencement of the year, Great Britain im- S>rted from Belgium, France, ussia, Germany and Austria- Hungary poultry to the value of 13,000,000 per year and eggs amounting to 136,000,000 doz. Canada in 1914 imported f200,000 more poultry than she exported.andimported$2,600.000 more eggs thane rported. Canada needs 1,600,000 more hens, averaging 100 eggs per year, to supply the home demand before having any eggs for export. The average egg yield per hen in Canada is but 80 eggs per year, which is very low. Careful selection, feeding and housing could in a few years bring the average up to 180 eggs per hen per year. It would be a profitable thing to strive for. LIVE STOCK Breeding . stock are today Canada's most valuable asset. The one outstanding feature of the world's farming is that there will soon be a great shortage of meat supplies. Save your breeding stock. Plan to increase your live stock. Europe and the United States, as well as Canada, will pay higher prices for beef, mutton, and bacon in the very near future. Do not sacrifice now. Remember that live stock is the only basis for a prosperous agriculture. You are farming, not speculating It has been said that European farmers farm better than they know; Canadian and American farmers not as well as they know.. Let us this year live up to what we know. Let our contribution to the "Patriotism and Production" campaign be bumper crops. VACANT LOTS Th* ���������.^������������������������������������������������������������������������ can and this opportunity are not for farmers only. Residents of towns and cities can help the Empire by growing vegetables on small plots or raising chickens in their back yards. City Councils, Boards of Trade, and other organizations can help by arranging for the cultivation of vacant lots, which will relieve the unemployment situation at the same time. Those at home have a duty to perform as well as those in the firing line. From the interest manifested by the people in the "Patriotism and Production" .announcements, we feel sure every one has good intentions. What we urge is that these good intentions be carried into action. Get busy. Every extra bushel you grow means that much more for export. ! + + No Postage Required.

It is time that the public began to investigate this matter, for our responsibility as a public regarding the handling of our criminals is very -great, and it is to be feared that our culpability in the matter could hot well be greater. The proceedure of our criminal courts is something as follows:X First, Arrest���������Every citizen is subject to arrest. Whether he is guilty of crime or is innocent has nothing to do with the matter. It is quite sufficient that he is suspected by some more or less wise official of having- com- _ mitted a crime.. Arrest means the lock-up until the convenience of the magistracy or of the police can give a preliminary hearing. It is not at this stage at all necessary that there should be proof of crime, <ut only sufficient evidence to form the ground work of. a . strong suspicion. ��������� Then comes the commitment for trial. But the trial may be weeks or months away. Thus the suspected man is in jail. X / But, our theory is that every man is innb- * cent'until he is'proven guilty; therefore, we are guilty of keeping an innocent man in jail. x , Then comes the triai. After the trial cotffes the sentence in case guilt be proven. But the brutality of our proceedure is that after the sentence set! by^ the courts has been v served there is still the; sentence, life sentences in many instances, of ostradsra from society, commerce and industry. X ^ There is no justification in bearing the sentence of the law. > Now, it is important to give this matter our best thought. There is with us no justification for the sinnier. In the Pivine handling of sinners there has been the most careful preparation for the justification of the criminal. He who accepts the terms of tlve Clospel has brought to Lim this privilege. x.^ .-���������. V X ��������� "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God." That is the first principle of Divine jurisprudence. ��������� 'Arid the justified man is no more a sinner. The past is ^blotted HErom-the -recordSiXs���������forr gotten bysthe Judge, is forgiven to the sinner, and is forgotten by the society of the Kingdom. ��������� Now the theory arid the glory of British justice lay in several matters; , First, as we have said, Every man was considered innocent until proven guilty. Second, when a irian had suffered his punishment he was Meld to have wiped out his crime and reinstated himself as though he had not, committed ont;, and if any man taunted him with his crime after it had been atoned for by punishment duly administered, the taunt took the nature of slander and the slanderer might be punished; This is common sense and is right. Again, the British law formerly made the punishment suit the crime. For disoi'derly conduct and petty offences the public laugh was turned on the offender by his being exposed in a ridiculous position, namely in the stocks. - u For another class of offences there was the whipping post, especially for juvenile offend- ors. Not the brutal lashes of the modern day, but such a stitrdy whipping as a stern master or father would give. These things left no brand or taint of criminal leprosy behind. Now what have we, jail penitentiary and the life of the branded criminal. A girl has gone astray. All that is best in manhood or womanhood should be brought to bear to reclaim that girl. What can the magis- , trate do, fine her or send her to jail. In other words, send her to the devil, or worse, to the brothel. That system is more criminal than the crime. AVe have -done somewhat better for the boy offender, and we heartily rejoice in the fact.v Ontario has gone far in the'way of handling its convicted men. It has substituted the prison farm for the prison house, and has organized the men into an active and useful community, Turning out tho. most of the men useful citizens instead of branded criminals. How long till B. ��������� C. will follow that lead? . Again, the law puts a barrier to the life of the civil debts of every man. A debt that has- lain dormant for six years cannot be revived. This is a good law. But in criminal cases the law chases a man to the grave. This should not be. If a man has sinned, and the crime has lain dormant for say ten years, there should be no revival of it. Perhaps murder should have twenty years to run put, but there should be an end, especially When the offender has lived, honestly in the meantime; Again the law, often condemns theXvrOrig person. Having: coridemmed him the law, never- acknowledges error, but the wrongly imprisoned man,, if found to be innocent, must beV.par- doned. X. ,V,Vvvv;,���������' Again, we have an injustice in this. The state should do right. Admit the error, declare legally the innocence of the condemned and compensate him for the harm sustained. X Then again, the law should forgive. We do not by this mean that the law should remit the sentence. This is now in some cases done. But we mean officially forgive the offender when circumstances warrant it. And the forgiveness should be recorded even as a sentence is recorded, and by the forgiveness the culprit should be so fully re-instated in all rights as 'though the offence has not been committed. The whole matter of the criminal law should be looked up by the citizens who are responsible for them. As to the third degree police methods j and the worming of detectives into the confidence of prisoners to obtain evidence, we are glad that the thing is foreign to British justice, and it is to be supposed practice also. PROSPECTS FOR THE SUMMER THE prospects for the summer are not very bright, it would appear. What is lacking in the situation does not altogether appear upon the surface. But a little searching will reveal what is required to start the wheels again. " '" - . ��������������������������� .. '....'��������� In the next place there has been little demand for materials of any kind which costs of freight is lacking. In the next place there has been little tie mand for materials of. many kind which costs money. Men were taken by surprise by the war and have not gotten over the gasping sensation yet. They have, been afraid'to use or to buy. Merchants have been bewildered at the sudden falling off of custom. Wholesalers have been disturbed by the failure of orders for the ordinary routine trade. Manufacturers have found their warehouses piling up so that they have stopped manufacturing. Now, what is the result. Never in the history of the city, or of the country, ha,s there been a shortage of material all the way from the consumer to, the first process manufacturer of goods out of which the finished product has been made. In the ^meantime when things begin to return to normal there is much money being stored up, and it will be used to replace the, depleted stocks and there must-be the greatest boom in industry that has transpired for many years. , In the meantime what is wanted is for some organization to commence the productioriV-of these materials which must be required before the demand reaches us. None can so well dp this in some lines as Kthe government cah; -';: ',.' This we have pointed out in another article and in other issues. X V .The material growing on the public domain. The* gold which is placer washing assures at least wages; the fish which can be cured and sold, or at all events used to feed the hungry, the copper deposits, and the great iron deposits of the country. .i X tn usual times it is, perhaps, well to await the action of private' enterprise, but in this time vit is necessary to mobilize the enterprise of the country in order to give impetus to the wheels of trade. The legislation so far has been towards the restriction of labor. Now labor has failed,.and the efforts must be towards organizing the resources of. the country to0 furnish business. ;" XW^belieVe^that^ province meri with the ability to do this. The demand must come, however, from, the people. Let^the1 government take a hand to organize a steel plant here on a scale worthy of the resources of the province. There would be endless demand for the product, and there would be great profit in it. Structural steel, railroad steel, machinery, etc., has been costing as much to bring here as it has to manufacture the finished product in the east. The can.ii may help this in a measure, but still the handicap will be great. - Shipbuilding could be begun here with great promise of success. We have all the materials required in steel and timber. The greatest thing for the country would be the beginning of these things and the time is opportune for the state to lead the. way. But private enterprise should not hold back its hand. If any man has a work in vie\^ such as the building of a house, and has the money for the work, it seems to be a duty to get at it at this time. The builder would save money. The contractor would have unusual facilities .which would enable him to tender low. The workmen would bless the man who carried through the enterprise, and courage would be given to the whole of the community. MOBILIZING RESOURCES WE republish below a statement of what the government is doing regarding the finding of increased markets for the forest materials of ' the province. This is excellent as far as it goes. We are of the opinion, however, that there is required a more vigorous step at the present moment. -' , We should like to see that there were requir- ��������� ed by the government a large number of men to get out shingle bolts or logs for instance, in the government timber reserve. Especially so as there have beeri reports of thills having to shut down because of lack of shingle material in the market, the same havL ing been allowed to be shipped south in bulk. Now. if the latter is true, and if private enterprise is so hampered by the conditions obtaining there is the best of opportunity for the government to; provide labor and needed product of labor in our own market to-'day. Moreover,, there -.'are hungry families in this city who are notion the relief list, arid will not be unless outsiders discover the need which they will not reveal. Now, there is at our doors a harvest of the 'oestV food, namely the fish and other products of the waters. We have again and again called attention to.the fact 'that instead of these supplies being open for the gleaning, there is the double license to be obtained. For the present these licenses should be withdrawn or given free to the citizens bf the province; and every boy should be encouraged and every man impelled to get this needed supply for his family direct from the sea. But more than this!. Our population are riot a fisher'population and require direction. Therefore, let the government for the time being arange to catch and cure the fish. Lay up large stores of the same for the need of the people, and at the same time prepare the supply for the market so that the cost may be returned. Private enterprise is not concerned as the government should be concerned with the welfare, of the community. Their catch will be shipped abroad. Their employees will be largely foreign. The people of. this province will not benefit. In fact if they buy the product of their own canneries sustained by the grants of their own governments, they will have to buy it from abroad and pay all the middleman's profits over and over besides the cost of sending it out the dear knows where and bringing it back again. ' This is poor administration. Ithas beeri the policy of the government in the hands of all the parties, and it is a stupid betrayal of the people's trust, and we hope the present administration will awake to the matter and see that the first claim of the fisheries of B. C. is the claim of the people themselves. After that the market beyond. No cannery should have a license granted to it which did not reserve the right tp sell to the home market for home consumption. But it will be said this has all been said before in the Call. True, but saying any matter once is of little use in any paper. It is the constant hammering which counts. We are after results. ���������'���������.- \ *.*���������������������������. ��������� Oysters A private enterprise has shown what can be done with the raising of oysters here. The fisheries department knows all about the matter. We urge that this industry be established on a large scale by ,the gpvernment now. with the greajt crab fishery in Boundary bay. At Long experience has shown what can be done Point Roberts a cannery has been long run putting up immense quantities. The Canadian side is just as good fishing ground. Start right in and there is profit in sight. In many ways labor can be employed andv profit made. But the private man cannot get the means to do this. We may have two or three years of these financial doldrums, therefore, the need for the province' to act as a body and use its collective credit to weather the crisis. YWheri the crisis is passed there ..will- be going industries which can readily be disposed of. Perhaps the men and women who could have ' been_trained in the various works in the meantime would be in a position to carry on the business, collectively arid to foiiy it out of the government's hands by that time. But to have people hungiy with plenty at the door seems poor management. ;. . IMPORTANT X MASS MEETING Under the Auspices of ��������� Laymen's Missicmafy Movement" in ST.

Sand, E. W; Leeson, Esq.,'' Chairman of ihe Committee. ALL INVITED Hon. W. R. Ross, minister of lands, who, during the past three years has organized a business administration and protection of the forests of this province is now undertaking the systematic development of wider markets for British Columbia forest products. The importance of this -work to the province can not be over estimated. The annual value of the forest products of British'Columbia in 1913 was nearlyt $34,000,000. The forests pf the province are so extensive as to support in perpetuity five times as great an industry, or one worth $170,000,000. This sum of money, practically-all of which would be^distributed, in the province for labor, supplies and transportation would ensure continued prosperity to all classes, benefitting the farmer -with the trades- man and mechanic. ' The markets of British Columbia lumber and- other forest products must be found outside British Columbia. Mr. Ross, has, therefore, as has already been announced, been active in securing the appointment of the chief, forester of the province, as a special commissioner of the Dominion government to investigate the possibility'of shipping Canadian lumber to; all the important foreign lumber markets of X the world. He will yisit in particular the United Kingdom, France,. Italy, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Indiaj Chiria and Japan. The information gained from this investigation will form the basis of the steps to be taken by Mr., Ross in making it easier for British Columbia': manufacturers to export to foreign markets. The minister has also ufider consideration plans for co-operating with the timber indus-v tries of the province in creating a greater demand for provincial lumber products in the Canadian prairie and Eastern Canada. The problem of increasing the British Columbia export trade in forest produccts is one which means millions of dollars to the people of the province, and for this reason it is receiving careful consideration at the hands of the government. Every man in the Community should remember that spending his money in the district where he does business is just that much more that he has a chance of getting back through the channels of his own business.

He could not say that this was definitely decided on, or that the government was committed to it yet, but Sir (George Perley had rendered splendid service to the Dominion and to the Empire under the exceptional conditions of the past year. The policy of having a member of the cabinet occupy the position of High Commissioner had been suggested to him before, added the Prime Minister, and there was nothing in connection with Sir George Perley's services to indicate that it was not a wise policy.

More interesting than many of the war despatches is the story that comes from London of the recent marriage of four German prisoners of war to four English girls. These marriages all occurred on the same������day, which made it something of an event. For these prisoners and others that may follow their example the hardships of captivity should be greatly ameliorated. Considered from a neutral viewpoint it is not easy to determine, whether this quadruple, romance is to be regarded as a German or a British victory. It may have been a little of both. But in any event it shows' that the racial hatreds engendered by the war are not as deeprseated as many persons have! b������*'n led to suppose. From New York comes news of the discovery of a new and' cheap method of producing gaso- ine, aniline dyes, and certain explosives. Dr. Walter R.

Recently he demonstrated to a party of experts the method by which he can produce from crude petroleum and practically worthless residual oils, tolnol and benzol, the banc properties of ani-. line dyes, gasoline and explosives. It is claimed that gasoline production can be increased two or three hundred per cent. Dr. Rittman's young wife, also an ex* pert chemist, has been associated with him in his important^ experiments.

From Edited By FELIX PEWE WHY IT RAINS IN VANCOUVER In a recent lecture on British Columbia's Indians, Mr. C. Hill-Tout, F.R.S. C, told the following story of Indian folk-lore: X - ' - Said Mr. Hill-Tout: It is a story taken from the lore of the Squamish Indians of North Vancouver, related to me some years ago by one of their old men. A long time ago the Chief of the ancestors of the Squamish quarreled with Siatmulth, the rain man. As a result no rain fell. AH the pools and streams dried up; the vegetation died and the land became brown and bare and parched. The people began to die of thirst... The Chief was greatly distressed and troubled. He sent delegation after delegation to the Rainmaker, who lived in a dwelling somewhere outside the Narrows, but he refused to speak with them or open his door to receive them. It was the opening of the Rainmaker's door that produced the rain. When his door was ajar, it rained softly and gently, when it was half opened it rained hard and steady, and when it was wide opened it rained in sheets and torrents. The keeping of the door-closed shut off y all rain. \ The Chief, called the Councillors of his tribe together, time and again to assist him in devising some plan by which they could to induce the Rainmaker to give them rain, but every plan failed. At last, when half the tribe had died of thirst, he summoned a great council of all his people to discuss means whereby they ��������� might force the Rainmaker to open his door. Everyone was invited to offer suggestions in the order of their social standing in the tribe, the scheme seemed feasible or likely to succeed until the eldermen. of the Mouse and the Flea and theXLoiise family j offered their suggestion. Said they: "We can bring Siatmulth to time if you will follow our plan." "Let us hear your plan first,''sai^d the Chief, -'then we can judge of its merits." So Mouse and Flea and "Louse unfolded the plan they had concocted, which, briefly, was that they and their families should go over to the Rainmakers dwelling, after sunset, and steal into ' the house, the Mice people getting through the knot holes, the Flea and ��������� Louse people through the cracks and crannies in the walls, and when the inmates of the house had retired to rest the Mice would run about and make a noise and the Fleas and Lice would get into the blankets ahd bite and worry them so that they could not sleep. They should keep this up till past midnight, when the Rainmaker and his family would be so worn __ ou-t that- when theyVwereV_J^iowed^ to sleep nothing would waken them up for a long time. When they were once asleep, Mouse would open the dqor and the Chief could come in and steal away with the Rainmaker's son and hold him as a hostage until his father was brought to terms. This plan seemed a "good one to the people, so accordingly, at sunset that evening, the Mouse people and the Flea people and the Louse people stole away in their canoes to the spot where the Rainmaker lived. When they arrived they assumed their mice and flea and lice form and entered the dwelling through the knot holes and crannies. The mice began to run about among the stores, and over the beds, the fleas and lice got into the blankets and so worried the Rainmaker and his family that they could not get a wink of sleep. Again and again they got up, drove away the mice and shook their blankets, but all to no purpose. The flea and lice and mice were upon them.again in a short time. This state of things continued to close on daybreak and then the unwelcome visitors ceased their disturbances and allowed the weary, tormented Rainmaker and his family to sleep. X As soon as they were soundly asleep the visitors resumed their human forms, and opened the door to the Chief who was outside waiting. He entered and taking up the sleeping son of Rainmaker, bore him off to his canoe after setting the door ajar. The rain began to fall gently and softly. They now paddled away as fast as they could, but before they had reached their camp the Rainmaker had awakened and found the door open and his son gone. He immediately surmised; what had occurred and was very angry and started in' pursuit. Before doing so he opened the door very w'ide and thus caused the rain to descend in torrents. -Strange to say, the rain did not fall in his canoe or upon him, but the storm overtook the Chief and his people and came near to swamping and drowning them before they made their landing. Nothing but the v presence of the Rainmakers son saved their lives. So violently did the rain descend that before long the brooks and streams overflowed their banks and the whole camp was afloat.,, Great rocks and boulders thundered down the mountain side and it looked as if the whole land would be wash- into the sea, when the Rainmaker arrived at the tribal landing place. They saw him coming and some of the people went down to meet him. He accosted them angrily, demanding if they had stolen his son. They told him the Chief had taken the bpy and would not give him up until he pledged himself to "give them all the rain they wanted. Said he: "Fetch your Chief, to me.'' So they brought the Chief to him; Said Rainmaker to the Chief: "Why have you done this evil thing and stolen my child ? " The Chief replied: '' I had no desire to rob you of your son, but you have treated us so badly that I was compelled to the deed. My people have died in hundreds from lack af water and you would give us no rain. Now make a covenant with us that you will keep our streams supplied with water and I will give you back your son. Rainmaker, seeing that the Chief had outwitted him, was driven to make the covenant with^the Chief to get his son back. HeAj>ledged himself to open his door from time to time and give them the needed rain. Said he: "I will not open the door at regufe^ _ that would hot be"convenient to me7 but"I~wiir certainly give you all the rain you need." The compact was faithfully kept, and ever, since the Squamish have had plenty of rain, and when they get more than they want or it rains continuously days on end, someone remarks that Siatmulth has forgotten to close his door. What we do on some great occa- ���������sion Avill probably depend on what we already are. and what we are, will be the result of previous years of self- discipline.���������Canon Liddon. * * * Friendship cheers like a sunbeam, charms like a good story, inspires like a brave leader, binds like a golden chain, guides like a heavenly vision. --^Newell Dwight Hillis. WHAT AN OLD TIMER HAD TO PUT UP WITH The other day a lady entered a car bound for New Westminster. She was accompanied by her son, a small boy, fresh from London's smoke. The woman had a careworn expression and many of the rapid questions asked by the boy were answered by unconscious sighs. "Ma," said the boy, "that man's like a baby, ain't he?" pointing to a bald-headed old timer sitting just in front. of them. "Hush." "Why must I hush?" After a moment's silence: "Ma, what's the matter with that man's head?" , ''Hush, I tell you. He's bald." . "What's bald?" . "His head hasn't got any hair on .it.".-. - X'X . ��������� "Did it come off?" :��������� "YesX"v-:. "Will mine come off?"

X "Madam," said the Old Timer, putting aside his newspaper and looking around, "what's the matter with that .boy?" X--XX'' The woman blushed, stammered out something, and attempted to smooth back the boy's hair. "One fly, two flies, three flies," said the boy innocently, following with his eyes the dancing blue bottles round the man's head.Xx ''Here, you young cougar," said the bald-headed man; "If you don't hush, I'll have the conductor put you off the car."' ��������� .; .y.yy/ .

"Mister,"; said the hoy, after a short silence, "does it hurt to be bald- headed?" k' jy\ ''Kid," said the man;"if. you'll keep quiet I'll give you a nickel." The boy promised and the money was^paidj oyer. ���������_ ;,^^_ _, ^^l^^^ V The man took up his paper and resumed his reading. "This is my bald-headed money," said the boy.

If your boy had been there he would have died first. If I can't get another seat on this car, I'll walk."

THE WESTERN CALL SPORTING COMMENT New Westminster pro. lacrosse team are out already to practice. Vancouver will follow suit next week. ��������� * * Another Canadian boy has gone over to the States and romped home with premier marathon honors. Edouard Fabre, of Montreal, went to Boston this week and captured the American classic. It was his fifth try and he won the title in handy fashion. Con Jones is out with the announcement that probably La- londe and Fitzgerald will be on the coast playing lacrosse this season. The game is on the down grade in the east and there are a number of the players who are anxious to earn some money on the coast this season. We find it hard to believe Lalonde and Fitzgerald are two of these. They are foxy generals and will take some real money before they move out this way. V Ice hockey followers in Canada have likely seen the last appearance of Art Ross, of the Ottawa team. Art was married in_ Montreal last week, and is comfortably located in business in Montreal. Ross is a good class of athlete, one of those fellows who used his speed on the ice to good advantage. During his fat salary years his shekels went to build up a business and this he has successfully done. It does seem that the days of the spendthrift athlete have passed, and the boys are beginning to have some real horse sense. Now, if they would only inject a little of their hard- gained wisdom into the actual elimination, of the- dirty element in the various games it- would mean a great deal for the advancement of sport all along the line. ��������� ��������� ��������� The wires are still sounding with strange whisperings of police courts, suits, etc., in connection with the Mann Cup. Only a week ago the trophy was discarded by the C. A. A. U. as re presentative of. the highest amateur lacrosse honors. That should be enough to satisfy the most ex- ciatble nature, but if they're still is doubt regarding the matter then let it go to the courts. Nobody eares a rap about the Mann Cup or its trustees, or indeed for the amateur game as it is being conducted at the present time. Sufficient for Vancouver, to know they are the recognized champions by the highest governing body in the game, a body on which the Mann cup trustees do not hold a seat. Let Calgary and Brampton play away till their heart is content. Neither team are of championship calibre at the present time, so what's the odds. The Nothwest League got off to a flying start on Tuesday af ternoon, when a large crowd assembled at Athletic Park at the conclusion of the street parade to witness ibe first game of the season. The street parade was a grf.it success, the best ever, aiid the crowd on hand at the park was a record for an opening game. Victoria nine were the opposition and they succeeded in slipping one oyer on the XBeav- ers\in this game. On Wednesday the latter came back strong and won out, but fell away again on Thursday. Predictions at this time are entirely out of place, as the teams are not yet seasoned, but it does look like the Victoria management has a splendid team this year. While we naturally would hope to see the Beavers repeat the winning streak of the past two seasons, still it would, perhaps, be in the best interest of the game to see Victoria grab the pennant this year. Here's luck to the season anyhow! Leonard Sepala, the winner of the All-Alaska sweepstakes, which annually gives Nome a leading place on the sporting map, is a foreman for the Pioneer Mining Company, of Nome. His dogs, however, are not the com-, pany's, but his own. Seppala has never before taken part in a dog I race. He has always been an en thusiastic follower of the sport, and his knowledge of dogs and of trails of the north, acquired during his thirteen years of. residence in that region, was largely responsible for his victory over so old and experienced a driver as Scotty Alan. # * * At the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Amateur Lacrosse Association held laxt week the following schedule of ga,mes was de- decided on for this season: May 15���������Vancouver at Westminster.

The implements have been on the land for several days, and in some districts seeding is well started. Conditions are ideal and generally speaking there is enough moisture in the land to carry the seed until the first heavy rainiX During the past week there have been light rains in several districts and now warm sunshine is needed. In northern and central Saskatchewan seeding is proceeding rapidly and the grain is also being buried in the district along Goose Dakc^ line andalohg theCanadian Pacific railway east of Calgary. In northern Alherta the work is not so far advanced and it trill be two weeks before seeding is general. In Manitoba seeding operations will commence in the near future. Increased acreage is reported from almost every point. ������������������'��������� ' Not until the B. C. E. R. has put down about 30 feet of straight rail at the east end of the ^Georgia-Harris bridge and about 140 feet at the other end can the viaduct paving be really finished, but as there are hopes that this will soon be done by the company it is expected the bridge will be opened on May 24. . The structure itself has been completed for some time but it is in details such as the pavement that the time limit will be exceeded. However, as the contractors were helped at the beginning of their task by circumstances over which they had no control, the city is willing to extend the time without asking' for any demurrage, but the contracting company does not wish to be obliged to renew its bond, at a cost of $2,400 a year, simply for six weeks, the period estimated for the completion of the work, and on the other hand th6 bridges and railways committee of. the city council does not wish to release the company from its bond. The argument is advanced that there could be no harm done by giving this release, as the city retains in hand the sunipf $80,- 000 on the contract price, and the bond Twas given for the completion of the bridge, which is, with the exception of the matters mentioned, now an accomplished fact. For the stability of the bridge the engineer, Mr.,C. A. P. Turner, has given a bond for $100,000 and has backed this with his prof es1- sional reputation. ; To make an effective test of the strength of the bridge, it is stated that the customary thing would be to run heavily1 loaded cars on to the structure, but since there is no connection on the B. C. E. R. tracks it is somewhat difficult to see how this can be managed. In some places on the bridge, sand has been piled to a depth o������ four or five feet, and this is heavier than cars would be. Meanwhile the committee expects the street railway company to go ahead with the laying of the tracks, but has foregone any rope of having the special work put in at each end, as the company' has stated tat owing to the slump in the stock on the London market and other matters it is impossible to raise money to make te extensions. WEU. KNOWN MISSIONABY DEAD The death occurred recently of Rev. Walter Thomas Currie, D. D., at Royal Oak, Victoria,. B. C, who was well known throughout Canada as tlie first missionary to penetrate West Central Africa. Deceased was born in Toronto and was educated in McGill university, graduating in arts and theology in 1885. After a year's medical training, he and his wife went to Chisamba. Not long after landing, he was taken0ill with fever, through which his wife nursed him, only herself to be taken with the dreaded disease from which she dies. Since he fh*st started missionary work at that place it has become civilized, prosperous churches and agricultural and industrial schools having been established there. J. Dixon G.

Such an increase in agricultural production should be a good thing all round, making a larger income for the farmer, more food for the empire, as well as helping so greatly to maintain Canada's credit.

Prof. G. C. Pidgeon, D.D., of Westminster Hall, Vancouver, to become colleague-pastor'with Rev. Dr: Wallace, of. that church. The stipend promised is $3,500, with six weeks holidays each year. It is under- stod that Dr. Pidgeon will favorably consider the call,- arid ;his translation to Toronto will likely take place in September next. Prior to his removal to Vancouver Dr. Pidgeon was for eight years pastor of Victoria-Presbyterian church, West Toronto; where, under his 'ministratidris the congregation grew rapidly and prospered abundantly. :X OJTY MARKET BEJtfG JWPRQVEP .With the appointment of Mir. H. A. Edgett as manager of the city market by the council practically the final step in the re-organization of that institution has been accomplished. There now remain but the details of the new policy under which the market will be/conducted in future, to be mastered and when the new nianager^bas-had^the^opportunity, of putting into full swing the market committee's wishes there will open up an.new era of usea fulness for the market which should bring beneficial results to the public. Under the new regime an entirely different policy toward the arrangement and disposition of goods will be inaugurated. The old system of auction sales with the tendency to increase the price of produce to the consumer will be done away with and instead, the public will 'be able to buy at the lowest possible price. Farmers from-the adjacent districts will be encouraged to market their wares and dispose of them themselves and for this reason stalls will be rented to them by the day, the week or the month at a nominal rental. For the present one market day a week has been decided on but in the near future two days will be set apart. All livestock and poultry will disappear from the front of the market building to a less conspicuous location ahd the approach to the building made more attractive and inviting. The civic market committee has framed a new policy which, it is hoped will meet with the approval of the public and induce a greater patronage than has been the case in the past. In addition to their Ice Cream Parlors in the Lee Building, Messrs. Prochnau and Gates have opened an -extensive line of Fruit, both local and imported, fresh every day, and at the lowest prices. Fresh, ripe, juicy strawberries at Prochnau & Gates. Lee Building, 15c per box. OUR COLLEGES AND THE WAR The great majority'. of. the men students in our universities have been giving a large part of their time to military drill, so as to be ready for the front if needed. Officers' training corps have been formed, and medical and engineering students, and others, are all doing their best to perfect themselves in the various direcr tions for which they are fitted by their special knowledge. The University of Toronto reports that eleven of its staff went as officers of the first contingent, while others follow with the second, and it is to have charge of a large base hospital. "Over thirty of Toronto's graduation class in medicine received their degrees at a special convocation in March and are to go to a clearing hospital at the front. A large group of the final year in other faculties received their degrees at the same time, and leave for active service. Similar facts might be given in regard to the men of all our Canadian universities. McGill is to unite with Toronto in May in an officers' training camp at Niagara. An interesting item is given in the report from Montreal in which Principal Scrimgeour of the/Presbyterian college mentions that one student enrolled for the ministry has gone with the First contingent,, while a number of other theological students are preparing for future contingents. The men and women of our Canadian universities are eager for the chance to, do their full share for king and country. ARBOUR DAY Observance Should be General- Objects for Which It Stands - Are to the General Advantage of Canada. Arbour Day is not observed in Canada to the extent which its importance warrants. British Columbia -must ever keep in mindXher dependence upon her forests. With practically 85 per cent, bf her area suitable only for forestry purposes, it is essential that the value of trees and their protection should be thoroughly impressed upon Canadians. There is no official recognition given to the subject of Arbour Day in British Columbia, although there seems no doubt that public opinion favours its establishment as a holiday and its observance. The observance of Arbour Day should be general throughout this country. There is need in every part of Canada for the education and instruction which Arbour Day represents. The day should be observed as a public holiday at a time most suited to the climatic conditions of the locality. Public recognition should _be_,given^to= Arbour Day, and the planting and protection of shade trees, the preparation of flower-and vegetable gardens, and the thorough cleaning, up of homes and surroundings should be advocated as special duties for the day. Arbour Day has its justification in the value of trees, from whatever point of view they may be considered. Nothing contributes so much to make the world a pleasant place to live in as trees. The true home feeling is not satisfied without the presence of the trees, with their shelter and shade, their beauty of form and leaf., their blossom and fruit, their varying shades with the passingof the seasons, and their fullness of colour, in the autumn days. They also afford homes and . shelter for our feathered friends���������the birds���������during, their annual visits to us. There is nothing which will add beauty and value to a home or the schoolhouse more than the presence of trees; there is, likewise nothing which adds more to the comfort of the pedestrian than shade trees on the roadside. The way may be long and dusty, but under the cool shade of the trees relief is found. ', It is hoped that steps will be taken towards the institution of Arbor Day, and that its observance will become general; that of the value and beauty of trees, and shrubs around schoolhouses, homes, public spaces and by roadsides may have the effect of be- veloping a keener appreciation off. the value and beauty oftrees, and that in thus enlarging the field of Arbour Day activities, greater interest may be created in the protection of our Canadian forests from the reckless destruction by fire and the axe with which they are.threatened.
