Elks' Carnival Great Success On Friday, Deoember 8th, the Elks' Hall was transformed into a regular Country Fair, with its barkers, shell game artists, hot dog men, 'n everything. To start the riot, the visitor exchanged perfectly good Canadian dollars for a .brand of phony simo- leons,, whioh a couple of quiet, cool, calculating individuals named Sam and Pete, generously turned over at the rate of $100.00 for 10 cents. Then the "come on" was invited by "Bill" to try his luok at an old Soldier game, oalled "Crown and Anchor." ... If Bill could not clean the boys, another old soldier game, "Housie, Housie" was forcibly presented by Timothy and another Bill. . "Fatima," th% Egyptian palmist, in a quiet comer, did a little by .way of collecting a few stray thousands. Two other games of chance, at which a lucky player was rewarded With a box of chocolates, cigarettes, or small kewpies, were operated by two gents..called "Ed,juid Sid." \\j$$0{ to add a touch of human kindness, "Jimmy and George" dispensed hot dogs and coffee. Downstairs, one landed into a regular bedlam, mixed with Barnum and Bailey, and Ringling Brothers. Different side-shows, in which for $100.00, one could see all the wonders of the world. On the top floor, three husky , voiced individuals, who all answered to the name of Fred, did a roaring business with a spinning wheel, which occasionally awarded a kewpie beauty to a lucky player. The greater-part of the hall was devoted to dancing, which was well patronized. Excellent music being supplied by Mrs. Ed. Swanson, piano; A. Ross, saxa- phone; J. Prevost, banjo mandolin; J. Tynmouth, drums.a Alice Arm Skating Rink is Now Open Thanks to the untiring efforts of several of the energetic citizens of the town, the Alice Arm Skating Rink was able to be opened to the public, on Sunday last, at 12 o!olook. A large number of persons availed themselves of the opportunity to again skim the surface of the rink and later in the afternoon, a hookey game, composed of local players was held. During the week, the rink was well patronized, and a successful season of sport can be looked for. '* Born to Mr. and Mrs. J..,M. Milligan, at Smithers Hospital, on Saturday, December 9th, a daughter. i Alice Arm Skaters Hold General Meeting The Annual Publio Meeting of the Alioe Arm Skating Arena, was held on Saturday evening at the Anglican Churoh. The finances of the organization were fully discussed. It was decided that the rules and regulations governing the rink should be the same as they were last year but that they be more strictly enforced, as it was felt that not enough consideration was given to beginners last year. The rules, governing the rink as to hours for hockev, are: from 1 to 2 p. m, no. hockey sticks. allowed on ice; from 2 to 3 optional; from 3 to 4 for children; from 4 to 5 hookey players. Those learning to skate will also have the whole morning for practice, if the ice is in condition. , The price of Season Tickets has been reduced this year. Gentle- mens tickets will be $7.50; ladies $3.00; ohildren $1.00. There Was some discussion as to the iadvisability.of reducing prices, but it Was felt that as considerable, indebtedness was paid off last year and that as the syndicate were now in a better financial condition that the reduced prices would help considerably to make the rink even more popular than in the past, and that it would also encourage those who can not skate to take up the sport; It is not the wish of the officers of the syndicate to make any profit this year, and if they get the full support of the citizens of the town it is anticipated that the above prices' charged will enable them to meet all expenses and that is all they desire. Following is the financial statement for the season of 1921, and also the financial standing at the present time! * Cash in hand at commencement of 1921-22 season $1.65 Deficit 417.76 419.41 Liabilities Due, 1921-22. • 419.41 Receipts 372,60 Disbursements •37P_.i6 Cash on hand 2.44 372.60 Cash in hand at commencement of 1922-23 season 2.44 Defioit .........;,...... 146.59 149.00 Liabilities • • 149.00 Prior charges, and estimated expenditures — • • 240.25 Last year a dance was held, and. the sum of $62.00 realized.

A large number of people were present, and a very instructive and enjoyable evening was spent. The subjeot debated was: "Resolved that Navigation is more beneficial to the world than Railways." Speakers for the affirmative, were: Mrs. R. F. McGinnis, J. M. Morrison,' T. W. Falconer. Negative: Miss B. Crawford, H. Fowler, M'D. Ross. On account of the card party following the debate, each speaker was limited to five minutes each. H. Fowler started the ball rolling for the railroaders. He said that in regard to Canada, she could do without navigation, as the country-couldsupport itself and grow fat. Mrs. McGinnis in the course of her remarks, said: boats brought us or our ancestors over here, aud without navigation thore would be no nations in America. Miss Crawford maintained that the vast interior of Canada could not have been developed without railroads, and that they were mote essential to the prosperity of any country than navigation. T. W. Falconer, who presented a host of facts in favor of navigation, said: navigation has always been the means of international intercourse. It was instrumental in settling up the globe. The world got along very weir without railroads until a few years ago, but could never get along without navigation. . Continued on page 3. Kergin Votes for 8 Hour Day Bill The eight hour day bill introduced by Major Richard Burde, member for Alberni has been rejected by the legislature by a vote of 22 to 18 Party lines were abandoned in the vote. H. F. Kergin, member for Atlin, in suporting the eight hour day bill in the legislature, said the system was general in his constituency and the companies were making money.

Weekly Meeting of Anyox Community League Council The regular weekly meeting of the Community League Counoil was held in' the Rest Room December 13th. This meeting was to have been held at the Mine Hall, but owing to the concert of the Union Church being held there and a rehearsal of the numbers for the show in aid of the Vancouver Province Xmas Tree Fund going on in the Reoreation Hall, the Counoil decided to meet in the Rest Room. i The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved on motion of Mr. Lowry, which was seconded by Mr. Rowley.

On a motion of Mr. Lowry's, which Was seconded by Mr. Rowley, the Secretary was instructed to advise the Mine Club that the proposed amendments would be considered only in so for as the section relating to representatives oil the League Counoil was concerned, This motion was carried unanimously. • A lengthy discussion took place in connection with the gymnasium, its equipment and general supervisions. The necessity of having a care-taker, the probable profits from a refreshment stand, its- location and the possible sources of revenue were all discussed. Progress in connection with the rink and Xmas Entertainments was reported.

The oldest established organization, the Anyox Community League is still going strong. The new gymnasium will soon be ready. All kinds of winter sports can be indulged in. The new rink is now just about ready for the followers of that exilirating sport and the League Council is at all times ready to study the wishes of the members, in all kinds of sports and recreation, both for the mind and body. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, which also has a large membership, have already instituted some novel entertainments this winter, and more will be forthcoming before the snow is off the ground; The members have a large and spacious building for recreation etc. The officers of Anyox Lodge No. 47 are a "live wire" brigade, and the local Lodge fills a long felt want in the smelter town. The North-, ern Polytechnic Institute cater to those who wish to improve their education. A large number of pupils are availing themselves of the golden opportunity to increase their knowledge, and classes will continue throughout the winter. The newly organized Mine Club, is doing splendid work on the hill, in organizing social events, recreation etc. for the residents at the mine, and if the present policy is continued, the Mine Club will become a permanent institution. The Parent-Teacher Association, which was formed for the purpose of fomenting a co-operative spirit between the parents and teaching staff of the schools, is meeting with success, and a large amount of good work has been done since it's inauguration. The various Church organizations, contribute in no small measure towards making life happier for the people of Anyox, and a co-operative spirit prevails between the churches, which is very often lacking in other towns. The Service Association, formed by Ex-Service men, is doing a splended work, in giving a helping hand to Ex-Service men in distress, and many returned men, have had cause to bless the Association since it's inauguration. The Hospital Ladies Auxiliary is an Association formed by a band of eager workers, who are doing their utmost to alleviate the suffering of the hospital patients. This little band of workers do their work quietly and unostent- iously. They do not seek publicity. They are perfectly satisfied with the results of their labors, and the plaudits of the public mean nothing to them. Anyox is fortunate in possesing so many public spirited men and women eager to give their time for the benefit of their fellow men, and every resident of Anyox, should, in some way or another help the good work along by joining one or more'of the above mentioned institutions, and taking an active part in their affairs. Lumber Industry Has Big Payroll British Columbia's payroll for the lumber industry in 1922 will run over $20,000,000, according to offioials of the provincial government, who have based their calculations on returns from 532 firms, whose statistics show that in 1921 the payroll amounted to $18,180,962, with an average number of wage earners of 14,500. Many plants that were idle have resumed operations, and even those which kept going all the time through 1921 have increased their It is confidently expected that that this year will show a big increase over 1921, and the $20, 000,000 mark is said to be on the conservative side. Thertotal number of automobiles registered in the Dominion of Canada is 462,848. British Cohan bia has 32,850 cars registered. Minnesota produces 60 per cent, of all the iron ore in the United States. The vote against prohibition in New Zealand, gave a majority to the wets of 16,138. The wets' majority in 1919 was 3,232.

Ross oriticized the remarks of his opponents and said: Railroads brought the produce to the coasts and made navigation possible. Navigation only developed a fringe along the coast lines, and Canada would have no international standing without railroads. J. M. Morrison, who was the last speaker for the sailors, said: freight can be shipped more cheaply by river boats and motor trucks than by railroads, and railroads are more dependent on navigation, than navigation is on railroads. M. D. Ross, in a 3-minute rebuttal, extensively criticized the remarks of his opponents, and thus ended the'debate.' On the vote being taken, the railroaders were declared the winners. The vote being: railroads 29, navigation 8, The Five-Hundred Drive was then proceeded with, and o very pleasant evening was spent in playing cards. The winners were: ladies, Mrs. T. W.
