(By;Dally NewB.LeaSed Wire.)
OTTAWA, March 20.—The Grand
Trunk told the house today, when Sir
' ThomaB White explained the financial
history* of the.road.from its inception
. unit it filially passed into receivership, a couple of weeks ago.
■: j'^We -are carrying on. as receiver,"
.ssdd-SIr Thpmas, "but I may say that
unless a satisfactory situation ensues,
the bominion government will be
obliged to pursue whatever legal remedies it may have, and it has many."
Sir Thomas also went into details
Jot the abortive .negotiations for adonis
tion by the. government of the Grnnd
Trunk along With the Grand  Trunk
Pacific.
Government Offer.
Tho two offers were!
By. the government, $2,500,000 for the
first three years; $3,000,000 for the
succeeding five years, and $8,600,000
annually thereafter.
All the liabilities ot the Grand Trunk
and all the liabilities of the Grand
Trunk Paclfio to be assumed by the
government. Should the terms not be
accepted then arbitration as an alternative.
Company's Offsr.
By tho company:    /_nnual rental of

-the Ofahd Trunk.
The arand. Trunk's reply made no
reference to mp. company's obligation
in regard to tile Grand Trunk Pacific,
in concluding. Sir Thomas mentioned that tho Grand Trunk Pacific had
cost something like $200,000,000 if def
iclts and, fixed charges for the last
two years were Included.
Tho Dominion government was Interested to the amount of about $200,-
090,000. The house was in committee
on a resolution to confirm the order-
ln-councll appointing Dr. Reld receiver for the G. T. P. Discussion continued Until ate In the evening.
The plea was made that public
ownership should' be given a fair
chance.
W. F. Maclean, South York, expressed himself as favoring ncqulstlon by
the government, not only of the Grand
■i'. unit and the Grand Trunk Pacific
but also of the Canadian Pacific railway, of telegraphs - and express companies.'
,W. F. Nlckle thought tho .Grand
Trunk and the Grand Trunk Pacific
should be taken over and efficient men
placed in charge.
jj. A. Robb, chief opposition whip,
Seared, however, that the policy of
rushing Into national ownership of the
Grand Trunk would result in the same
effect In the west as the I. C. R. had
in, the east.        j
-The resolution waB carried and a
bill passed thereon was Introduced.
Railway matters will again be before
the house tomorrow.
Voted to Pay
..Ml'. "Lemieux asked If the interest
oh.- tho loans had been always paid.
The interest wus always paid, Sir
Thomas replied, becnuse parliament
had voted the money.
! Sir Thomas roferrcd to evidence
given before the Drayton-Ackwortli
commission in 1916. This showed Sir
Tpomas went on that the Grand Trunk
wjpuld not continue to be responsible
ftn- the payment ot Interest on Grand
•Tifjink Pacific securities, nor would
tljey be responsiblb for -deficits in Its
operation, but would cast the entire
burden of the Grand Trunk Pacific
uiion the government of Canada.
Mr. McKonsle asked if the Grand
Trunk could relieve Itself of Its responsibilities under tho original agreement.
Sir Thomas White: "I say no, legally they could not, but if the govorn-
"'inent of Canada Continued to vote
seven and a half -million dollars a
year it would relieve the Grand Trunk
for the year ln whicli It was voted
of paying any Interest on securities
which the government had guaranteed."
Liabilities of tho company to the
Grand Trunk Pacific, the amount
which tho government would be required to pay to the Grand Trunk railway shareholders would be very small.
Outstanding Securities,

he said, hoi  outstanding    securities

MOSTDEMANDS
Wages to Remain at
Present Level
This Year
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, March 20.—Andrew Bon*
ar Law, the government spokesman,
ln a statement In.: tho bouse of commons this evening, said the government accepted the' report of tho special commission, ot which Justice Sir
John -Sankey is chairman, including
its undertaking to report on the question of nationalization by May 2 and
to issue interim reports from time to
time on the problem of improvements
in the coal Industry.
Proposals ot this nature would bo
put Into immediate operation, declared Mr. Bonar Law. This Involved
the continuance ot coal control for two
years.
With reference to, the Sankey report
which he explained was signed by
threo representatives of the employers not directly concerned In tho coal
industry, and granted tho miners two-
thirds of their demands In wages, Mr.
Bonar Law said that the signers of
(tho report recommended a further reduction In hours lii 1021, because they
assumed that by then the output Ot
1013 nearly 287,000,000 tons would lie
resumed,
Tbo estimated cost nf what was recommended was for the current year,
£43,000,000. J
-*.lt-:r*** _•(_«__:•> "that *th*aproMu. ot
the coal owners should be limited to
fourteen pence per ton. Taking all
things into consideration, tho estimated cost to tho tax payors would ho
nearly £30,000,000.
Reasonable Proposals.
Mr. Bonar Law also announced that
the employers bad made what ho himself and tho labor minister considered
reasonahlo proposals to the transport
workers, and ho had reason to -believe
that these would provo acceptable lo
tho men.
The negotiations with the railroad
mon had not been concludod. A detailed statement of the men's demands
and tho sum involved together with
the government's offer wo.ld bo published.
Meanwhile, said the speaker, the
government had definitely proposed
that wages, including tho war bonus,
should be retained at tho present level, until the end of the current year.
Tho men had, In addition to that,
however, pressed further domunds Involving an estimated additional expenditure of more than £ 1*0,000,000,
which In the presont position of the
railroads was a very serious thing.
Mr. Bonar Law said tho government was prepared to adopt the Sankey report in spirit and letter. Tho
minors' lenders had never had such
an opportunity nnd never would
again. Thero had nevor been such an
opportunity for making real progress
in connection with tho problems of

result uf allied occupation of Siberia
as an object lesson.
The allies, it Is pointed out,**had decided to restore order and good government in Russia and had sent detachments of troops with no good results, owing to tho impossibility of un
agreement over tho methods to be followed. The real result Is loss of allied
prestige ln Russia.
A grave instance is tlie transportation problem, us yet untouched, owing
to the difficulty of allied agreement
and In the meantime the railway situation has grown worse weekly. The
situation ln tho country is generally
worse than last autumn and Bolshovlkl sentiment apparently Is growing In

NEW POLICY FOR
H
Senntor   McLennan   Would   Have
Ministers Instead  of
Twenty One
Six
(By Daily News Leased Wire)
OTTAWA, March 20.—A plan lor
the re-organization of the Canadiai
system of administration of 'public
affairs was laid before the senate today by Senator McLennan. A government had two functions, said the senator, shapement of policy and the cor-
rying out of policies decided upon.
The present cabinet bf 21 mon wus
too large for sound deliberation.
,£ J..or the affairs of Canada, Senator
TvtcL'onmn'proposed 'tfiaf there should
be a smalt cabinet of say six: ministen.
in whom should be invested policy,
control of the executive and co-ordi-.
nation and in the limitation between
the departments of state.
Members of tho cabinet should not
hold portfolios, in order that they may
have full time for their duties. Ministers should have access to the cabinet and all ministers might be summoned collectively or individually fo
confer with the cabinet. The cabinet
would devote all of its time to deliberation and supervision while the executive work would fall on the ministry, which should be large enough
Lo give proper head to each department.
The ministers would go in and out
of the power with the cabinet but
they would be Individually responsible
to parliament for the manner in
which they carried out the duties of
tho cabinet.
Senator McLennan proposed the
erection of two other commission v.
Tho first should be a tariff commission
that would report to the government
and to parliament all facts in connection with transportation, production
and living conditions in Canada and
other countries.
It would lay tlie fuels beforo parliament but would leave tho government
responsible for any principle that
might be adopted^with respect to tho
tariff.
The United States in 1911. had created such a tariff commission. He
would also create a public Works commission to which would be referred
for report all proposals for tho expenditure of funds on public works.
The report would deal with both tlie
national and the local importance ot
tho work proposed.
Senator McLennan believed that.tbo
adoption of his proposals would lead
to increased efficiency In public affairs; would afford the cabinet opportunity for the formation of constructive legislation; would place ministerial responsibility und would increase parliattientury responsibility
and parliamentary control.

When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Don't uso prepared
shampoos or anything else that contains too much alkali, for this Is very
Injurious as lt dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
Tho best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for tills is puro
and entirely greasclcss. It's very cheap
and beats anything else all to pieces,
Tou can get thlB at any drug storo and
a fow ounces will last tho whole fam
Ily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wator
and rub It in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abund
anco of rich, croamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly and Is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides It loosens
and takes out overy particle of duot,
dirt nnd dandruff.

greatest mistake ever made by
leaders of a great industry.
.If they were willing to wait, continued the government) spokesman,
they could have a report on nationalization and everything else The matter must, however, bo settled by parliament. If a strlko came, It would
not bo an ordinary strike against employers; -but against the state and in
such case, tho government must use
the whole of Its resources without the
slightest hesitancy to win victory and
win it quickly. ■
At this statement, a great uproar
arose from the labor benches, and
cries of "we could talk as big;" "you
aro threatening." There wero counter
cheers, and Mr, Bonar Law resumed:
This is not il threat; no government could do otherwise. In such a
struggle, thero could be but one end:*

In this country.
The mlno owners report states that
thd miners received wage increases of
lot; per cent during the war, *.vhile the
cost of living rose 11B per cent, The
majority of the miners received free
coal and houses. The miners' demand
is for a 30 per cent increaso on the
war wages. The workers' report deals
largely with social conditions. It says
thnt one-tenth of all the nation's
children aro born and raised in mining
villages, a large proportion in Scotland, living under tho soul-destroying
conditions of single-room houses. The
majority have no more than two

Shorter Hours.
The interim report of tho coal commission, of which Justlco Sir John
Sankey is chairman, issued tonight,
recommends seven hours of work underground instead of eight from July
16, and 6 hours from July 15, 1921, subject to the economic position of the Industry. The report recommends an
Increase ln wages of two shillings per
shift for colliery workers now under
sliding scales nnd an advanco of one
shilling  for  workers  under  16' years.
In tho interest of tho country the
colliery workers, tt Is recommended,
shall have nn effective voice. In tbe
direction of the mines.
Tho present system of ownership
and system of working Is condemned
nnd a substitute must be found either
In nationalization or unification, by
national purchase or joint control.
Tho Sankey report points out that
the recommendations mean tlie distribution annually of £30,000,000 additional in wages, and that it should
bo considered whether a penny should
lio collected at once on coal brought
to the surface to Improve the housing
In thq colliery districts. Tills would
bo-equal to £1,000,000 yearly.
Tho Sankey roport Is also signed by
Arthur Balfour, * who was master cutler uf Sheffield in 1D11-12, and has
been connected with various advisory
commissions';: Sir. Arthur Duckham, director-general of aircraft production;
anil Sir Thomas. Hoyden, member of.

Another report by the mlno owners
on the commission recommends an in
'crease of IS penco a day ln wages and
a reduction of working hours to seven.
,A third report by -the, miners'..representatives, signed by Robert Smilic,

having reported to the supreme council 'that the situation in .fodcstiiK-

(Continued' from Pftfo One)
ment of $84,000,000. Of these securities, ^38,000,000 were held by the Dominion government, the balance being
in the hands of bondholders, the majority of whom were in Great Britain.
The Dominion government as guran-
tor of the Grana Trunk railway company was Interested in tho Grand'
Trunk Pacific to the extent of about
$45,000,000. In addition to this, securities amounting to 107,000,000 had
been guaranteed by the Grand Trunk
railway company. .The totqj ,pf Grand
Trunk Pacific securities [guaranteed
by the Dominion government ana the
Grand Trunk railway company would
amount to about $200,000,000.
The acting prime minister then
went on to state that an offer had been
made by Sir Robert Borden tp the
Grand Trunk for the purpose* of the
Grand Trunk Pncifie. The proposal
of tho government was that it should
take over the Grand Trunk pacific and
branch lines and-the Grand 'irunk
railway company to acquire all assets
und to assume nil obligations of both
companies. The government to make
annual payments of $2,500,000 for the
first three yfnrs- $3,000,000 for the
succeeding five yenrs and $3,600,000
annually thereafter, such terms to be
distributed by the Grand Trunk management as they might determine,
wnong holders of four per eent guar-
mtecd and other stocks. The government also "offered un alternative,
namely—to submit the entire'question
to a board of arbitration.
The roply of tho Grand Trunk made
no reference to obligations of the
company regarding the Grand Trunk
Pacific, but asked the government to
pay an annual rental to the Grand
Trunk pf ovei\ $5,000,000.
Sir Thomas said tho position the
government would have found itself
in If this request hnd been complied
with, would have been the shouldering
of tho diCflcUs of tho Canadian Northern railway, the deficits of the
Grand Trunk and paying the Grand
Trunk shareholders over $5,000,0.00 a
year.
The government notified the Grand
Trunk that tho Dominion grfvternment
would not again ask parliament to
vote any further sums^or the purpose
of maintaining fixed charges or deficits on running expenses. This met
with some applause. The next thing
that happened, said Sir Thomas, was a
notlco on March 3, that on the following Monday, the Grand Trunk Pncifie
ln tho west would close down.' There
was no ■discussion, no previous Intimation. Immediate action toeing necessary to insure tho continuance of
tho system, the government foil back
on the War Measures net and appolntod the minister of railways receiver.
Refers to the G. T. Ry. ,
Sir Thomns declared "in our view,
the attitude of the directors of the
Grand Trunk hns not been a reasonable ono becauso .they havo decidedly
refused to recognize their liabilities In
resiJeet to tho Grand Trunk Pacific,
and I suy that negotiations wllh the
Grand Trunk, aro not possible until
tho liabilities of th-e Grand Trunk, in
respect to tho Grand Trunk Pacific
nre regarded as a very potent factor."
Sir Thomas added that he did not
think there should bo set off against
Grand Trunk net earnings, actual or
prospective, the full amount of the deficit for fixed charges and operating
expenses in the Grnnd Trung Pacific.
If that wero done, all equality In
Grand Trunk shnres would be wiped
out.
"But I may sny that unless a satisfactory situation ensues tho Dominion government will ho obliged to pur-;
chase whatever legal remedies it mny
havo, and it has mnny.

Foreign and Domestic Money Situation
Has Much to Do' With Restricted
Tra'dln'g
(By Dally Nows Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, March 20.—There was
a decided halt In the stock market
both In the upward movement of
prices and the volume of trading, duo
largely to' foreign* and domestic monetary developrftfcnts.    '
Announcement of the suspension of
sterling' eJcc'Hung-e purchases' in this
market for account of the British government after some three years of
stabilization, was regarded as ad
event of fur-reaching importance and
precipitated a sharp break in rates
between this country and London.
Removal of the peg In British exchange' doubtless accounts for yesterday's advanco in call' loans to 6
per cent, which rate prevailed during
the. greater, part-of today's session.
Yet another market deterrent was
provldod'by the uncertainty which
surrounded'tho metln_- of the leading
steel'manufacturers with representatives of the adiAiiilstration at Wash*
ington. •'..
Up to (he market's close Wail street
wHb without definite news on this
subject und tho opinion prevailed that
substantial cuts in finished steol issues would furhish- the necessary stimulant to-that Industry.1
'. Such shares as U. S. Steel, Marines
and other shippings' tho Beveral distilling issues, equipments and tobaccos, made up tho great-bildl. of today's dealings, but extreme irregular
Itles marked their course after the
moderately- firm opening.
Gains of one to threo points in the
popular specialties Were largely can
celled in the flnil hour, when rails
sagged and the whole Immediate group
reacted, tractions also lostng 2 to o
points.
Sales amounted to 875,000 shares.
Heaviness of tractions and uncertainty In Liberty Issues marked the
trade in bonds.
Total sales, $11,500,000. Old U. S,

(By Daily News Leased Wire)
NEW YORK,. March. 20.—Sudden
withdrawal by trie British government
today of its purchases in this market
bf sterling exchange' under an agree*
merit which had been in force over
three years provoked a violent decline iri rates on London arid caused
fdrtne'r nervousness and unsettlement
of rates to other entente allies. The
measure was designed to' stabilise the
market during the war.
Trie decision of the British treasury
took trie form of a brief statement
front J. P. Mor ganland company, flpcnl
agents, who announced that they had
been Instructed to suspend purchases
of exchang* for government account
Mr. Morgan supplemented this with
the comment that in his opinion the

In these days of funereal lugibrlous-
ness, when tomorrow's Impending disaster shadows small hopes of today,
the miner, With accustomed cheerfulness and optomlsm, looks' around for
some .indication of a silve. lining to tha
encircling clouds. He Is naturally an
optimist, In fact, he could not exist lt
there were nothing to which he could
pin his hope and find forget fulness ln
the presont state of uncertainty and
financial Insufficiency.
There Is a silver lining, and it lies
In the mines of this section that carry
large proportion of' the white metal
in their yield. To such the miner pins
his faith for immediate betterment
and his hope is certainly well founded. With silver selling well over one
dollar an ounce ahd strong probability that it will ascend further when restriction has been lifted, the optomlst
has really something to work upon{
and something that will take the place
of the creature' comforts that he used
to affect before virtuosity deprived
him of the ancestral prerogatives of
his calling.
In British Columbia, particularly,
the Bilver lining is very bright In the
Slocan district, average silver closely
approximating 100 ounces per ten,
while the lead content exceeds that of
other silver-lead districts - In the
Northwest. It looks to us as if British Columbia was coming into Ub' own.
The Slocan, Alnsworth, Lardeau, Trout
Lake, -Revelstoke, Duncan, and other
districts of the province, all hold out
moro than ordinary hope and we.
should not .be surprised to see a revival during 1919 without precedent In
mining history of the ' past twenty
seven years—since EH Carpenter found
tho rich ore shoot that set the mining
world on fire and caused the memorable stampede to Kootenay's shores.

SHEEP RAISI
WORTH WHILE
G. Joy  Believes There Are Good
Prospeata for* This Industry in
the Interior.
That sheep raising should be gone
into on a much greater extent than
at the present time, in this district. Is
the opinion ot R. G. Joy, city market
commission agent. The clover which
grows so profusely here, Is an excellent
fodder for the animals, Bays Mr. Joy,
and It is a regrettable fact. In view of
the possibilities, that so tew sheep are
being raised In the district
On the request! ot Mr. Joy one ot
the city market stallholders, who had
for sale some good mutton and who
had made a success of sheep raising-in
one of the farm districts hear Nelson,
haB given the following outline of how
she made this*-branch of farming a
profitable Investment:
"Ten sheep will take about the same
amount of feed as one cow," she said,
'but one cow would not thrive if allowed to forage on the Bame land as
10 sheep. The reason for this is (bat
sheep Will eqi. weeds that a cow will
not, touoh./'.:..',
"From sheep we have two crops
every season or should have. These
crops are lambs and wool. The latter
s at present fetching high prices and
is likely to continue to do so. as the
supply Is not equal to the demand.
"The only time that sheep need much
care is at. lambing and shearing time.
At other times they will, If given proper conditions, look after themselves.
"The proper.'conditions are food,
shelter from the hot sun, and water at
all times, i
"The-drawback to sheep raising is
the fear of coyotes, though, as a matter of .fact, dogs are a much greater
menace;. However, a dog found worrying sheep may be shot on the spot
and the owner of the dog Is liable for
damages. It will, however, save much
friction lt the sheep are fenced securely, tor in a short time they will repay the outlay.
"The easiest way to get a start Is
to buy ewes, range stock, and have
them bred to a thoroughbred ram. The
lambs will be a great improvement and
ln two years a very good grade will
be obtained. If a ewe costs .35 and is
well cared for It w'll likely give you
twins. These at six-months.ought to
dress at 00 or 65 pounds and will re-
tall at 40 cents a pound. Then the
fleece, from the sheep will bring ISO
for eight pounds, *C
"The Kootenay, with Its mild climate, lB'very satisfactory, iii February we had 14 lambs, all doing well."

We owe the returned soldier every effort we can make towards securing steady
employment for him.
Do not try to throw the burden entirely on employers.    They have a grave;
responsibility, but only insofai-fcs every man, woman and child gives willing help
can Canada ensure a fair day's pay for a good day's work.for all her men. '-"■.    .
How can YOU help?   By investing in War-Savings Stamps.
How will THAT help? Canada must secure foreign purchasers for the products of
her forests, farms, arid factories. Many nations are anxious to Buy our goods, biit
can only do so if Canada grants credit to them.
Lend your money to Canada, .so that Canada may re-lend to those
who must buy on credit. The money is being raised by the sale of
War-Sayings Stamps, so that when you invest in a War-Savings Stamp
you provide a day's pay for some returned soldier.
A War-Savings Certificate with 10 WAS. affixed will be redeemed
by the Dominion of Canada on January 1st, 1924, for $50.00, for
at that date the WAS. are worth $5.00 each.
War-Savings Stamps cost $4.02 in March;
$4.03 in April; $4.04 in May, and they

BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
ANU SIMMBFF
Try   Thli!—Your   Hair   Gets   Wavy-
Glossy and Abundant at Once.
To he possessed of a head of heavy-
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using a little Danderine-
It is easy and inexpensive to havo
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get a small liottle of Knowlton's Danderlne now for a few cents—all drup
stores recommend it—apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incomparable gloss aud lustre and try as
you will you cannot find a trace of
dandruff or falling hair; but youi
real surprise will be after about two
weeks' use, when you will sec new
hair—fine and downy at first—yes—■
but really, new hair—sproifting nut all
over your scalp—Danderine is, we_ believe, the only sure hail' grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy
scalp and It nevor fails to slop falling
hair at once.
. If you >yunt to provp how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a
cloth'with.a little Dandorlue-und carefully draw it through youi- hair.—taking one small strand at a time. Your
hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful
in just a few moments—a delightful
surprise awaits everyone who tries
this.
TAMES-NO
DOUBT
that you get the maximum return
for your money when you buy
Zam-Buk, because Zairi-Buk Is all
.medicine—not .% medicine and
on'/o animal fat as ordinary ointments are.
Tlie herbal extracts and vegetable
.oils of which Zam-Buk is composed
are so wonderfully blended and refined that Zum-Buk possesses unusual power of penetration. Instead
of remaining on the surface skin, as
ordinary ointments do (owing to the
amount of coarse animal fat tliey
contain), Zam-Buk literally soaks
through until it reaches the "root"
;of tlie disease, which is always in
the underlying tlssuos. Then It
cures from the " root" up, which
is tho only llioroin.fi and permanent
way of curing skin troubles, and Is
why Zam-Buk succeeds whon other
treatments fall.
Zam-Huk is beat for eczema,

Ivory Soap has every quality you can
wish for in a toilet and bath soap. It is
pure. It is mild. It is white. It floats.
Its perfume is the natural fragrance of.
pure, high grade materials.
Ivory is everything that a soap can be
because it is nothing but pure soap, non-
injurious and thoroughly cleansing. It
isn't possible to make a better or more
universally likeable soap."

and shape to fit every shoe lor every member ol the family. ..,■„,.
He knows that these six brands are guaranteed:

Western Champions Defeat Hamilton
Tigers by 5 to 1—Now One.
>   Same Apiece.
(By Daily News "Leased Wire.)
TORONTO, March 20.—In one of the
greatest come-backs ever staged on
local Ice the Sslkirke, western champions, defeated the Hamilton Tigers,
eastern title holders, five to one here
tonight, ln tho second Allan cup game,
but were one goal short of the silverware. Hamilton won the first game
6 to 1.    '
Silklrks used a systematic attack all
night and tied up the round ln the
regulation hour ot play by scoring five
goals and holding the Tigers scoreless.
In the first overtime session Hamilton took a' big brace and had the play
for the full ten minutes. Matte rushed up and worked in for a goal ln the
first minute of extra work.
The Hamilton forwards failed to
check properly In the early part of
the game and the Selklrks ran In two
and three at a time. Houges'was the
pinch-hitter, with three goals in the
second half. Simpson was also a
great rusher. ,
Green. and McCarthy were Hamilton's best
The Hamilton Tigers were outplayed and failed to cheek and it left {he
chance to get by, in the opinion of Tlg_r defense with a mad tearing for-
officials. The pleasant features of the I ,vari- llne „*, western forwards to han-
circuit Is that the overhead expenses- dle -t was mucn t00 big a Job for
ere practically nU. The traveling bill.. them and the re8uit was five goals,
are very small and thero Is no reason. -pne pae8 se_ by the western team
why the  organisation should not gowas terrific.   They kept it up for the
well.
The league will be conducted strictly under organized , baseball. The
league will deal with the Pacific coast
and other circuits for players and. the
chances of disposing of young stars
for goodly sums are excellent.
With the managers practically selected the clubs will begin to assume
form again. The officials promise to
dish up better ball than was on tap
last year.

night,  the Province says today:
"The vlctoty wns-no'l! h-slirprtse to
many, although the score wns somewhat larger than wo ' anticipated .t
would be ln the first contest. Holmes,
no doubt, was better' than at any
othor time this season, but at that
we refuse to believe that the Frenchmen are capable of carrying off the
world's title.
"Tho Ottawa-Victoria gamo was tho
surprise as it has given Vancouver
fans something to think about. The
Senators won by a big score, which
would indicate that they possess a lot
of class and that lt will be some battlo hero Friday night when the visiters clash with our team. / Tho Senators, so reports state, played a brilliant game, showing a lot of speed
and their combination was tho best

they had nothing left for the overtime.
Hughes was the hero ot the thrilling
battle. The whole Selkirk line poke-
checked the Tigers Into submission
and kept them ln hand until the overtime. Gillespie was a new man on
the defense and Hamilton found lt a
different story from Tuesday night.
They could not get in and were
forced to shoot from long range. These
lifts were easy for Simpson as the
fastest breaking.man on the Ice. He
rushed up time after time and also
had a partner to go In and take a
pass and catch the rebound. It was
that way for the full hour and
Rheaume made some wonderful stops
with two and three men in on top of
him.
Green was the only Tiger to do pro
por checking in the 60 minutes, and
tried hard  to  bore ln.    Tho  Tigers'
shooting was poor and their passing,
when they hit the defenso, miserable.
It was a hard contest for the boys

were royally cheered by the 6000 fans!
Both clubs wero banquetted after the
game, and the westerners were the

"Hands   Up."
What would you do if you were
standing oti tho edge of a precipice
gazing horlfied down, down thousands
of feot and behind you a fiendish vil-
lian was pttshlng you over? Nice situation for a. girl to be irf, whnt? Well,
Ruth Roland, vivacious star in Pathe's
new serial, ."Hn.nd.-s Up," has this experience and others just as-hnrrowing
In^ the sensational serial which Is being .released in fifteen two-ipart epl-
sod3.   •   .'
Not only that, but a high rock catnes
crashing down1 the side of a lofty
mountain, imperilling our heroine.
The wonderful serial of plot, counter

The Safety Curtain.
If tho opportunity to cast your lot
with a man who loved you and would
care for you tenderly came to you after cruel and harsh treatmont came to
you when the SAFETY CURTAIN at
tho theatre, dropping to* shut out u fire
from tho audience, also shuts you
away from your miserable past; and
If you thought that by drawing the
safety curtain of silence and distance
behind you as you fled to India with
tho man you loved, you would forever
leave the hateful past behind, what
would you do? Would you seize with
both hands tho happiness flung your
Way as PUCK peized it?
How Puck, the littlo dancer In a
cheap music hall In London, meets
Merryon on leavo from service m India on tho niglit of the fire which
separates her from her husband who
has beaten her'for fancied attentions
from another man; how the a«ifety
curtain shuts off her ascape and her
life, until Merryon leaps to her n.d, ia
endangered; how she reads of Vulcan's death in tho papers and consents
to a marriage with Merryon with
whom sho goes to India; how she realizes that the reports of Vulcan's
death may be false since ber own name
had been listed erroneously; how Vulcan, who Is alive, comes to claim her
and rather than ruin the man she
loves, Puck returns to him, just as
ho is dying of the plague; and finally
how Puck is released from him and
freo to return to tho man she loves;
all go to mako up the thrilling Incidents in Norma Talmadge's latest Select Picture, "The Safety Curtain,"
which will bo shown at the Starland

issue prescriptions for liquor on any
other blanks, so the department by
means of serial numbers wilt be ablo
to detect all forgeries and to know
at any time how many prescriptions
any physician Is issuing.
