The Trojans Win From Vandals In Thrilling Game To be tied 14 all at half time, to run almost neck and neck for points in the second half, and to find the Trojans winners by a score of 40 to 35, when the final whistle blew— such was the course of the hoop game between the Trojans and Vandals in the first Senior A fixture of the second half of the league, played on Monday the 7th. It was tip course of true love, nor did it run smoothly. Each side was out to win and there was more than an inclination to roughness at times nevertheless, it was a great battle, dotted with brilliant plays. Fred Calderoni, who was in rare form, ihrew the ball over his head for a basket, and again made a beautiful shot from midfield without stopping to aim. J. Gillies, for the Trojans, had his eye trained on the basket so that he could scarcely go wrong, while his brother Bud got in some lovely long shots. Speed and accurate passing featured the tussle, although the three man combination on the Mine team, usually so effective, did not click. Kulai was not in his best form and missed some nice ehances. Woodman and Gourlay each played a fine game, while Tony Calderoni never tired. For the winners W. Shields and F. Gordon were at their best and McDonald was strong at guard. Players from both teams were chased to the showers during the second half. The game was well handled by referee L. Gillies, who had an accurate and impartial eye. The teams: Vandals, A. Calderoni 12, F. Calderoni 17, Kulai 1, Woodman 2, Gourlay 3, Saaman, Heinekey. Trojans: Bud Gillies 16, J. Gillies 13, H. Dresser 3, F. Gordon 6, W. Shields 1, McDonald 1. Miss Amy MacDonald Will Train For Nurse Miss Amy MacDonald, who has resided with her parents in Anyox for many years, left on last Wed nesday's boat for Victoria. Amy as hor ninny friends knew her, will join the nursing staff of St. Joseph's Hospital. She attended both the public and high sohools here and during the past year had been employed by the Pioneer Hotel Mess. She will be greatly missed by her many friends aiid they take this opportunity of wishing her every success and happiness in her new work. Enjoyable Time Spent At Birthday Party A party was held by Mrs. Frank Henderson on Wednesday evening last, in honor of the 14th. birthday of her youngest daughter Roberta. The enjoyable evening started with a delicious dinner, at which several interesting novelties were introduced. The table was centred with a beautiful birthday cake. Later many games were played, that of ''Cootie" proving very popular. The winners of the prizes in the latter game were: 1st. Miss Nancy Oigot, 2nd. Miss Kathleen Ward, 3rd. Miss Edna Brown. Best looking Cootie, Miss Nadine Wenerstrom and prize for the funniest looking Cootie went to Miss Alver- da Brown. A special prize was given to Miss Violet Vine, for writing the best reply to the birthday invitation. Other guests were: Misses Jean Carol Lee, Jean Munro, Hetty Wynne, Nora Chapman, Prisoilla Rogers, Janet Barclay, Bessie Barclay and Lesseal Brown. Miss. Henderson received many lovely gifts and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by everyone Anyox Serbians Celebrate Their National Christmas Monday, January 7th. was the National Christmas Feast of the Serbians, and the people of that oountry who reside at Anyox celebrated the event in right royal style. The depression, or the possible closing down of the mine, mattered not at all. Christmas was held with all the lavishness and trimmings for which this sturdy race is noted, there being no lack of good cheer and hearty fare. A large number of guests were entertained at the various homes of these hospitable people, and there was merrymaking at each one. Alice Arm Notes 1 Mrs. J. Wier returned on Saturday from Anyox after spending holidays there. Miss Florenoe Dodsworth returned on Saturday, from holidays spent at her home at Anyox. Miss Marguerite Moss left on Monday for Prince Rupert, after spending holidays with her parents. Mrs. Kergin, who has spent two weeks holiday at Prinoe Rupert, returned home on Thursday. J. Fiva returned home on Thursday, after spending several months at Anyox. Funeral of Late Mrs. Watson Held Yesterday The short news item we published last week, that Mrs. Frederick Watson had passed away at the Anyox General Hospital, came as a severe shook to her many friends in the district, She failed to re> oover from a severe attack of pneumonia and the end came on Friday morning January 4 th. at 4 a.m. The late Mrs. Watson was 53 years of age and was born at Coventry, Warwickshire, England. She oame to Canada with her husband in 1911, residing at Bank- head, near Banff for five years, and moved to British Columbia in 1916. She arrived at Anyox in December 1919, and, with the exception of a period spent in England about six years ago, resided here until her death. The body, accompanied by her husband, Mr. Frederick Watson was taken south ou Monday and interment took place yesterday afternoon in the Masonic cemetery, Vanoouver. The^Rev. J. S. Brayfield former Anglican Church minister at. Anyox officiated. Many former friends of the deceased attended the ceremony. Besides her husband, she leaves to mourn her loss, one son William Frederick and a daughter Vera. As one of the older residents of this district, Mrs, Watson was well known and universally respected, and the whole community here, together with many friends in England and Alberta, condole with Mr. Watson, his sou and daughter, in their sad bereavement. Foundry Crushes The Rovers Meeting in the first game of the second half of the Senior B. League Foundry and Rovers played to a 34-14 score in the Gymnasium on Monday the 7th. Rovers made little headway iu the first half, but were much more aggressive in the second stanza and managed to hold down the scoring of their more experienced opponents, bringing their own total up to 14. Church and Parsons, of the Foundry aggregate, were despatched to the showers during the first half of the game. Scott was high scorer with a total of 20 points. Rovers: Summers, Thompson, Cadillac, Kergin, Flye. Foundry: Church, Scott, Yelland, Parsons, Hamilton, Patriok, Deeth. Bonanza Ships Steady Supply Of Ore To Mill Day in and day out, a steady stream of ore buckets passes along the aerial tramway between Bonanza and the ore bins at the crush ing plant. So regularly and constantly do these buckets come and go that wo scarcely notice them. Each one will carry about half a ton of ore, and an average of 300 tons is brought over daily. The quantity thus handled in a thirty day month is around 9000 tons. Daughter Born To Mr. And Mrs. F. Ubell A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ubell, of Anyox, at the Prince Rupert Hospital on New Year's Day. Mother and child are progressing favorably. Anyox Notes A. S.

Electrical Development Increased Copper Sales Tremendously In the early part of the nineteenth century came that increasing interest in electrical matters that within a few years laid the foundations of the wonderful age of electricity, and which also opened up a field where copper was a vital necessity. Without copper progress would have been very slow, even if investigation of electrical phenomena could have been commenced without it, for the first experimenters relied entirely upon copper, one of the first batteries using 320 square feet of copper sheet. Signalling, telegraphy, aud the submarine cable came shortly, all bringing a market for millions of feet of oopper wire every year. The development of the electrical machine, after Faraday's first machine iu 1831, necessitated the production of large quantities of pure copper; a machine built in 1866 used 576 pounds of copper strip on the armature. The introduction in recent years of the National Grid system indicates that every field for copper in the electrical industry has not yet been exhausted; the phosphor-bronze cables spanning the river Thames at Dagen- liam consist of continuous lengths of 6,400 feet, weighing six tons. One sphere in whioh copper has always occupied an important place is architecture, its use ranging from Sumerian metal mosaic work of 4,000 B. C, through the heavy copper-faced doors of the Middle Ages, to railings and lampstauds today. Copper roofs, conduits lightning conductors, weather- vanes and grilles are all in general use. Other modern uses include shipbuilding (the propeller of the "Queen Mary" is solid bronze,) railway and general engineering (the firebox of the L. N. E. R. engine "Cock-of-the-North" is copper) and the chemical industries (welded tanks of 50,000 gallons capacity have been made.) Birthday Party For Miss E. Parker Mrs. H. W. Parker was at home to a number of young people last Saturday evening, the occasion being the anniversary of Eileen's birthday. A very pleasant evening was passed in playing games and singing old and new songs. Mrs. Parker was assisted by several of the young ladies, in serving the appetizing refreshments.

K. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. Newspaper Advertising Is Big Selling Power Beyond all question the most potent creator of business demands in Canada is the newspaper advertisement. Millions upon millions of dollars are expended every day in the stores of the Dominion because well written advertisements have directed public attention to convenient, becoming, attractive, useful, ornamental and suitable merchandise. The sale of all necessities, all luxuries, all indulgences, is more powerfully stimulated by the newspaper advertisement than by any other agency. Only hunger, cold and nakedness are comparable to the advertisement as a promoter of sales—and even purchases of food, fuel and clothing are directed more largely by the business columns of the press than bv any other influence except immediate necessity. The largest stores in our greatest cities have been built up by their advertising, their persistent and clever invitation to the public, in the press to share in their bargains. Imagine what would happen to daily sales of merchandise, real estate, theatre tickets, insurance, books and other things, if newspaper advertisements were prohibited by law.for six months. It is not exaggeration to say that they would drop 50 per cent. Why Prohibit Mining Brokers On Boards of Directors There's a movement in British Columbia to prohibit brokers from serving as directors of the companies whose shares they aid in distributing. The theory may be all right, but it isn't practical. As long as the machinery for financing- business remains in its present imperfect state, it probably will be beneficial in most instances to have some member of the underwriting organization sit on the board of any company which is appealing to the public for funds. The ideal direct orate of a mining company, for example, would contain at least one mining engineer, at least one attorney familiar with mining law, at least one practical financier, at least one successful business exec utive with a rudimentary knowledge of actual mining, and at least one "watchdog of the treasury" with some knowledge of accounting or bookkeeping and a desire to see a cent's value tor each cent spent,— Northwest Mining, Spokane. Advertise in the Herald New Arrival At Alice Arm Classified Contributed Seldom has the Herald been in error in reporting the arrival of all visitors to the camp. An exception can be taken in the case of A. Cali- fornica, but since this party will be with us for some time this can be overlooked. This party, or to give him his full name of "Mr." Auto- grapa Californica, has made himself known to most of us, and especially the gardeners, as he is an admirer of green growing things. In case you do not recall meeting him, if you will think back a few month: to the day you were digging in your garden, and turned up some small reddish capsule like objects) better than an inch long and just able to wriggle a little. That was a Californica in his pupa stage. A moth hatched from one of these pupa which was carried indoors, was sent to the university at Point Grey, with the following comment given. This moth is Autographa Coli fornica, the false Alfalfa Looper It is one of the cutworm moths whose favorite food is white clover leaves. This moth has spread greatly this year and their are com plaints from many parts of the province, where it was previously unknown. The eggs are usually laid in the fall and remain in the soil, or attached to the plants during the winter. It may remain in the pupa stage over winter when the cold weather comes on early.

Write For Weekly and Monthly Rates Our president has announced that we must have higher prices The American Federation of Labor demands the thirty-hour week at no reduction in pay. Crop reduction combined with drought has resulted in certain essential foods, and hog killings and processing tax have raised the price of ham and bacon beyond the capacity of the average worker to pay. In spite of my confidence in the administration I can't get this business through my thick head. Can it be that millions were hungry because there was too much food and it therefore became necessary to destroy food, in order that these hungry millions might eat? Having destroyed it and paid our farmers many millions for not raising more, we still have a few millions of hungry fellow citizens whom it now appears will be fed if we can hang a high price on all they must eat and wear.

Saturday, January 12. 1935 * Canada Makes Progress Says Beatty C.P.R. President Reviews Past Year and Finds Evidence of Permanent Economic Improvement in Advances so far made—Predicts Canadian Wheat as Best in the World will find Steady Market. li. W. BKATTV.K.C. Chairman and President, Cuiiatliall I'ai-ifiic Ry. r7,IIE course of our recovery I from the economic catastrophe which swept over the world in 1929 and 1930 has beau markedly different from that of any of tne previous cases of business expansion in this country. This time we seem to be experiencing a process of slow rebuilding, and, as far as I can see, one of permanent re-adjustment. of our economic activities to conditions 'which have radically and permanently changed. What we are today experiencing is a p r o c e s ii of steady, and I hope permanent growth. This to my mind would be an entirely normal result of the causes which led to the great collapse of Canadian business. Tlie boom conditions which 'followed a temporary depression after the Armistice were, as far as Canada is concerned, chiefly the result of forces and conditions in other countries. Actually our productive boom resulted from tangible demand for Canadian products, and from conditions in other countries which directed a flow of capital into Canadian development. Equally the economio collapse ln Canada resulted chiefly from forces operating In other countries. Nothing is more important ln our economic life than our great exporting industries. In the case of wheat I have never accepted the alarmist views which have bean freely expressed. The world surplus stocks, produced partly by active «ncouragement of production in many importing countries, and partly by a series of unusually favourable seasons In Europe, seem to be needed to meet the marked shrinkage in production in 1&34. While complete recovery of world commerce in wheat must depend on some limitation of excessive economic nationalism, on greater stability of monetary exchange, and on increase in the to,tal volume of other forms of world commerce, I see no reason to believe that Canadian wheat, the best iu the world, sold at fair prices, will not find a steady market. Other primary products, such as minerals, lumber, and bacon are being exported in increased volume and at better prices, largely owing to the Imperial trade agreements of 1932, and tlie newsprint industry shows clear sign of recovery. It is to bo regretted that the past few years have seen farther increase in the debt of the Dominion,* the Provinces and many municipalities. Much of our public debt has been incurred for purposes obviously legitimate as part of the ordinary government of the country, but much has resulted from experiments in the direction of governmental participation in business. Regrettable as is the loss occasioned by errors on the part of private enterprise, this type of loss is corrected by a reduction in the income and capital holdings of those who finance the enterprises. An unwise investment by a public body means a permanent charge on tho tax-payers. I recommend this thought to those who believe that further expansion of governmental activities is the best method of protecting the ordinary citizen .from exploitation by capitalists,' In actual fact the safest policy for great capitalists is al: present to buy securities issued by public bodies and to leave the chance of loss to be carried by the mass taxpayers. Throughout the past year the matter of the country's railway problem has received an increasing amount of public attention, and I am convinced that proposals for Its solution along the lines of unified management for the two great companies have made decided progress. In all directions are observable a greater willingness on the part of the public to enter upon an unprejudiced consideration of the case, and even among those classes whose interests might at first glance seem to be threatened by any such proposals, I discover a growing desire to examine their possibilities and to find out If they really are as dangerous as those who early rushed into print to attack them would seem to believe, This is all to the good. If unified management will not stand up under the most searching criticism, obviously, it should not go forward. But the criticism should be fair and honest and it should be based upon a fairly sound understanding of railway economics and not upon personal Interest or prejudice. I say nothing less than the truth when I affirm that most of the criticism that has come out so far will not stand up before any one or even two or three of the above tests. I shall not further deal with the matter here, except to say that I can see no other way than unified railway management in which the country can put a stop to the continual cumulative wastage of vast sums of money and can safeguard the future of both railways-while adequately preserving the property rights of the Canadian people in the Canadian National, and those of the shareholders of the Canadian Pacific. In a word this is my proposal for unified management —it is a partnership between public ownership and private ownership with the added advantage of private operation free from political control. Both Canadian Railway systems as well as the railways of almost every modern nation, have suffered to some extent from the growth of highway transportation. The general use of privately owned motor cars, and an increasing amount, of pleasure travel in prosperous times, have led to the contraction of a great network of modern highways, which in turn have been used as the right of way for a great number of freight vehicles. To a great extent the operations of these vehicles and their policy in setting their charges, have not been subjected to the same close supervision which public authorities have long given to railway operations and tariffs. In this case also public opinion is pressing for better handling of the situation. The railways do not question the advisability of building good roads, or of permitting them to be used for commercial transportation, but the perfection of the present attempts to proper control of this operation will, in my opinion, return to the railways at least some of tho business takeii from them by highway transport and place both highway and rail transportation on a sounder1 basis. It is also interesting to note a growing public sentiment tn the direction of demanding some contribution to the upkeep of our great and costly Inland waterway system from those who use them —especially in the case of ships of foreign registry. With every correction of these special cases of unfair competition, the Company must depend chiefly for a restoration of its normal business on a recovery of Canadian prosperity In general. The outlook In that respect Is comforting. The very careful studies prepared by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics Indicate a condition far from as alarming as some authorities would make it. In this great and scantily populated country we should not, however, be talking only of recovery. Canada should look forward to expansion in every direction. To my mind the policies needed to Insure this are very simple. I should list them as: scrupulous care to prevent the debts of public bodies and resulting destructive taxation from any further increase; concentration of our efforts both In public policy and private business on the increase both in volume and prosperity of our primary Industries — especially agriculture; public and private business policies looking to increase the population of Canada — especially in the agricultural areas; and, as I have repeatedly said, an immediate correction of the burdensome and costly duplication of transportation facilities. It appears to me that we can look back on 1934 with some contentment, as a year during which we found that the world was not ending, and that by industry and thrift nations and individuals could still prosper. What Interests me more is that I believe we can look forward to 1935 and successive years with confidence that under Providence we shall see in them a period when Canada will revive that faith in her future which too many of us seemed to lose, and that we shall again come to realize that all that is wanted to set this country on a forward path of progress are such simple virtues as energy, honesty, and ordinary common sense.

Get Much Ore From Leasers Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company in tbe first 15 days of November received 2490 tons of ore from leasing operations on mines owned by the company. 'Phis is at a rate considerably higher than that for October. Forty-seven different leasing operations were represented in the shipments, which included 45 cars of ore averaging 47 tons to the car. Most of the leasing operations are in the old original mines of the company on Red Mountain, at Rossland, B. C. Four new leases have been opened since this record was completed. It is officially estimated that the off-shore lumber shipments from British Columbia have approximated 850 million feet, board measure, in 1934, as compared with 662,500,- 000 feet b. in, in 1935. The former peak year was in 1929 when 801 million feet were exported. The total coal production of Alberta mines to the end of October was 3,639,552 tons, compared with 3,063,855 tons, for the same period of last vear. B. P. O. ELKS Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland ANYOX LODGE No. 47 Meets every second and fourth Monday of the month Hall for rent for dances, social functions, etc. on application to club manager 33,117,314 Pieces is Long Laundry List A large number of people attended the Memorial Service which was held at Christ Church, Anyox on Sunday evening December b'th. for the late Mrs. F. Watson, whose death occurred at the Anyox Hospital on Friday the 4th. The service was conducted by Rev. Alfred Abraham, who in tne course of his address, dwelt on the virtues of the departed, and the great respect in which she was held. The servioe was most impressive throughout. A short servioe was also held in the Church at 9 am. on Monday. The body was conveyed to Van- [•mtvet" on the Steamship' Catala. a large number of people being present at the dock to pay their last respects. Several floral tributes accompanied the casket. Can you imagine a bewildered Chinaman trying to total a laundry list of 33,117,314 pieces? But there is one like that. It is the total of washing done by and for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in 1930, in Canada, including hotels and bungalow - camps; sleeping and dining car service, (which also operates station restaurants), and the British Columbia Coast boat service. If one stopped to sit down and figure out the gallons of water and bars of soap required for these operations, the results might be even more astounding. Tbe hotel, department owns 789,821 pieces of linen; the dining and sleeping car, service some 1,500,000 and the British Columbia steamships another, 247,000, making a grand total of, 2,536,821 pieces. These include all "flat-pieces", such as table - cloths, sheets, napkins, towels, pillow - cases, etc; the white coats worn by the company's servants in the various departments, and, in the hotels, a certain amount of laundry, done for guests. In the hotels, too, blankets, bed-spreads, rugs, and so forth must be considered. Every piece of laundry handled becomes a laundry-piece each time it appears tn the wash. Thus a single table-napkin may be a laundry-piece over and over again, according to the supply of linen needed and available. The picture shows a battery of washing machines ln tbe laundry of the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, the largest hotel in the British Empire. Similar equipment in the great chain of Canadian Pacific Railway hotels throughout Canada handles the great laundry list in various centres, with the assistance, in certain districts, of laundries outside the company's service. But the Standard maintained is the same everywhere, Immaculate cleanliness being the motto from coast to coast, both ashore and afloat Ontario Outstrips Provinces In Gold Production Ontario is far the most important producer of gold in the Dominion, although, while the history of gold mining in this province dates back as far as 1866, it was not until after the discovery of the Porcupine camp in 1908 that gold mining became established as a profitable industry, from the great rock region of Northern Ontario, which was once regarded as worthless wilderness, gold to the value of $501,000,000 had been recovered up to the end of 1933.
