Fallis, of aVncou^er, Takes Anniversary Services at Trinity Church, Filling the pulpit at both anniver sary services at Trinity Methodist church yesterday, Rev. G. O. 'Fallis, B. D., of Vancouver, took for liia Huhjeci at -.inee evning service,1 "The Foundations *jt Brotherhood," Statins there were three elements in lhe foundation of a true brother hood, Kiev. Fallis classed tho first as undiirsliAidlng'. There is a pressing need of an appreciation of brotherhood in individuals, groups, and ljations; today, he continued. Many Judgments of individuals,, -and nations are based on understandings dUo to.* a failure to really grasp other viewpoints than ono's own. Real national brotherhood will never bo until narrow provincial pi-ejudico and ignorance is replaced with knowledge. ■Similarly brotherhood between individuals can not 'be based on judgments formed from casual appearances but most bo formed from a kohwledgo*of underlying character. His second element in the foundation of brotherhood waa a sympathetic outlook on life. No note of cynicism can bu found in the teachings of Jesus, he seated. ,Bv,en when he was on the crpss, He askc,d that his . cr.ucjflers might tie forgiven because they did not - under •stand what they did. "Looking Into the hearts of men, Jesus had no doubt of the goal of the race, and this waa true of all lovers of humanity, who, asse\ed Mr: Fallis, have' a tremendous faith :uiuVconfIdence in the response of the race to on an ideal. ' Brotherhood could only 'be built up by understanding plus a broad sympathetic attitude to the race. * The biggest- element in the three that formed the foundation was thp . practical use of the will in removing stumbling blocks from the path of a brother, the speaker con tinued. wishey-was.iey emotional sympathy without action is Ineffective. Good nature is often substituted for a good will, but it the bars to a happy life. Hympa-, thy without action is dead and phy- ehological experiments have proved that the disuse of Lhe higher faculties, and even of instincts, results in atrophy. The greatness of a nation rests on a physical foundation, Mr. Fallis concluded, and understanding, sympathy, and the wiljL to act, * can do mj.ich to transform social problems litto visible workings out of an ideal sheme of life. , BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE CELEBRATE CADETS RECEIVE I Senior Officer Is Complimentary; Cadets Shine at Basketball; Supper.

Housing Shortage Means Lumber Demand. ^.ny doubts as to the future of the lumber industry during the next few years are set at rest by the statistics which have been gathered with reference to the housing situation. Practically every country in the world, certainly every country in which the demand for lumber affects British Columbia lumber producers, is short of housing accommodation. The United States is short more than one million houses, Can|da needs ; 150,CJ6b. Hoiii£ ing is one of Great Britain's most acute problems. Houses cannot be built without lumber. At intervals there will be a slackening of demand for lumber, owing to crop and other conditions, but on the whole there is bound to be heavy consumption during the next 10 years. One Reason for Poor Showing in Roads. One of the reasons that the people of this province have been getting poor value for the exp$iditures on public works has been that too big a pro portion of the money appropri ated has been eaten up by administration expenses. Expenses of administering the public works department have grown something like three-fold since 1916, yet the amount of road building has been small. While expend! tures on offices and officials have soared, expenditures on actual building and maintain ing roads have represented very little in the way of results., ■ , „;i; And it is more, roads and better maintained roads that the people of this province need in return for the large sums which they pay in taxation. WHA'I 1'ilH, MtKSS IS SAVIN(. Chinas Starving Millions Tlie startling ielegrarn relating to the terrible famine 'Which is prevailing in tlie provinces of CTiihli, Honan and Shantung, and affecting a population of between thirty and forty millions, present a harrowing picture of a situation which tbe government of the country manifestly cannot adequately cope with alone. Today there aro twenty million not simply on the verge of fani.no, but actually and grimly face to face ■with it. Thousands starving already. Whole districts of people were living on weeds, tree leaves and bran, parents were selling their children, animals were being slaughtered by thousands or sold for a mere song because of tlie scarcity of fodder, numbers of people were leaving their homes and trooking to other districts and provinces, whole- families were committing suicide, there was no fuel on Which to cook food. Chinese eyewitnesses report that in many villages fathers poison their families with areshlc to save them from starvation. Fleeing families tie their children to trees to prevent their following them. Indescribable horrors are seen on every hand.—-Hong Kong Press.

The strike was gradual but It was' never wholly effective. Tho Federation gave tho Cumberland miners special permission to contlnuo working and there were never many moro than .100,000 men out, Vtfhlch represented about half of those engaged in that industry at the time. The strike; dragged on until there seemed to be a comjilote deadlock when the Government Intervened and after the first conference the men agreed to return lib work. ■ There was a.lopg drawn-out dispute which lasted-jitw.enty-fLve weeks, in' South Wales in11808 which affected 100.000 men, vfliilo in 1910 there was violence at Tonypandy district and much rioting.'. It is curious that the first news of' disorder in this 1920 strike . should come, from the same Tonypandy which bulked largely in tho strike 6f 1010. There havo been big strikes in other trades also. In 1807-08 thero 'Was a sudden stoppage in the engineering trades of Britain on th6 eight hour demand, which lasted twenty- nine weeks and affected close upon ,">0,000 men. In 1889 came the prolonged and bitter strike of the dockers In London-,- which successful mainly through tho support received from the Australian Trade Unions and from the general public. This strike began on August 13th with a small local dispute at the East India docks. It spread rapidly and before long the dockers were asking for an increase in wages from five pence to sixpence an hour. A threat to start a "no work movement" led to the hasty summons of a rhass meeting of citizens at the Mansion House and after one abortive attempt - at settlement of the strike It was finally brought to an end, tho dockers obtaining* their demands. '-"[.',.'*,"'", The hirst American Strike The first record of ' a striko dri this continent occurs In 1740 when there was a combined strike of journeymen bakers In New York City. in the following year an information s filed against the strikers for conspiracy "not to bake until their ■voges were raised." On this they were tried and. convicted although there is no record of any sentence, t'hc bakers of Philadelphia struck In 1706 and again two years later, but the first notable strike was the Jailors strike pf 1803 when tho sail- jrs demanded an increase of from ? 10 to $14 a month, the strike terminat- .ng unsuccessfully owing to the arrest of tbe leaders in tho movement. Modern Youth as Seen hy Famous ;: English Preacher LONDON—Canon ,ivc\vbolt Is the latest to17 join tho discussion on modern youth, proceeding in the Morning Post',:, llo -says: , ,"'■ ".'Is it a grate or is it a yirtue? And what shall wo call it? Shall we'call it reverence? Is that the right1 mime for a very beautiful attitude of the mind, which can be felt rather than described, which is a growth from within, rather than something taught from without? Wo know it when we see it, and wo admire it, even when we undervalue it. But it Is difficult to register and to name anything so elusive. There is modesty, lo which Aristotle refuses to give the name of virtue. He would call it a desirable quality in tender ago before the character is formed; but in maturcr life, he would say that the necessity for it, and therefore lhe merit, would cease io exist. Is this n grace which is gone from society today or is It going? And are we prepared.to lose it? Certainly our modern youth would hotly dls- put with Aristotle that it is a quality suitable for tender age. And our elders would say that the crush o£ life was too tierce to enable them to perpelunlly be taking off their ha* to qualities or states which have no merp.T"titilc Value; or to give precedence to anyone except on the prenci- ples which govern a competitive examination. Obession of Slang We find that something is gone from the words, written and spoken, if today. There used to be an unwritten standard of beauty, propriety, and excellence by which human utterance was instinctively regulated. , Self-respect. con/enlionaTity, so- al etiquette required it. But it is not so now. Slang has almost become \ a dialect of its own. It has invaded our pulpits We hear in serm,ons, in close juxtaposition with lhe most sacred livings, the words and phrases common in the camp and barracks, which the army chaplains brought homo with them. An oath of profanity is not unknown; it adds point it^o' tho discourse, and wakens the languid interests of the audience. In the daily conservation of social life men and women seei.p^.,0. vie- with each other in casting,; away "oven the eopvenlionalitics fot ■cbns'er- 'vation, lest iftey should seem priggish or peda'nUe. And yet wo feel/ in-. stlnctively that even conversation cannot boar impovcrj^liig, and-that language .ia H. •'pulses ■/through "'ffcicSt' generation must bo preserved from losing its beauty and its purity from contact with what Is ephemeral and unworthy, Where, gain, is reverence, moij- esty, and self-respect In much of the ordinary life around us today?

Women in the most light bathing dresses are photographed for exhibition in the cheap illustrated press. Woman Less Woman . Wherever men may go, whatever men may do, women may go and do likewise. Are ihey costing away one 'of women's distinguishing excellence as women, without gaining any of the eagerly coveted lowers of men? Perhaps it Is ' not Ian old man's fancy to think that |we arc losing something out of life] that a young -. man's world may laci something of j the beauty and grandehr of the man- , sion, as compared with the tent or bungalow by the sea.-'There are certain things which we -cannot part with Without makini the world a poorer place than it Is. Dean Church has spoken In memorable words of the iense of beauty which seems to be implanted In us. 'Beyond that which (is useful, and that which is true, i-hid that which is orderly and weld proportioned, and .'that which is ^beneficial and salutary, there clings- obstinately to the soul of man thla^ idea of what is beautiful in' its dnfiflite forms and degrees."

This growth and. development have so far beon mainly confined to the Prairie provinces of Manitoba; Saskatchewan, and Alberta, but tho system Is attracting more and more attention in the other provinces, particularly In Ontario, where several wheat growing and shipping centres, notably, Toronto, are agitating for the erection of elevators. Nor Is It only In, numbers that the system has extended, but the increase In slzcJ'has been such that some of the structures can fairly bo termed mammoth, such for instance as those at the head of the lakes. There are, according to the Hon. George Langley, minister of municipal affairs for Saskatchewan, not fewer than 3,600 elevators in the three provinces referred to, from 40 to 60 feet high and capable of storing from 20,000 to 30,000 bushels apIe-%on the average, a few reaching tb twice ■the greatest enumerated capacity. In other words) upwards of 110,000,- 000 bushels of wheat can thus be sforcri at -the one time. By the terms of the Canada Grain act, tho owners of the elevators, mostly piivaite Individuals or incorporated companlos, are compelled to accept all grain offered iby farmers, unless wet or unstorable with safety, hence tlie general and common use at tho system. The elevators are all licensed by, and are u-ider the supervision of the board of Grain Commissioners of Canada.

The name recalls a name who did much to make known tho richness of the Pacific Blope—David Douglas, the botanist and explorer. Tho Douglas fir* ia hla monument. David Douglas, born at. -Scone, Perthshire, Scotland, in 1798, came to Vancouver at the ago of twenty- seven and began his exploration of British Columbia. During tho year ifter his arrival ho travelled up the Columbia river in company ivith John McLeod, Chief Trader ot the Hudson's Bay Company. From tho upper waters of the Columbia lie crossed the Rocky Mountains, and readied Hudson Bay, where he met •Sir John Franklin, the famous Arctic explorer, who a few years later lost his life in the frozen North. From Hudson J3ay0 Douglas and bVanklin returned to England together. Three years later Douglas was a- gain on tlie Pailflc Coast. During the next. five years ' his explorations extended ' gene-rally- * through' the country drained by the Columbia and the. Fraser rivers, The last two years of his life were devoted ■to scientific examinations' in* British Columbia. *; ■ '' A Duel Proposed On one occasion Douglas took part In an episode at Fort Thompson that at« one timet threatened to have a tragic ending. The episode also throws light upon the character of the life led by the traders and travellers in British Columbia during those early times,. Ab early as 1810 a fort was built at Kamloops, by tho famous explorer, David Thompson, and named Fort Thompson after its founder. It waa a place ol importance, ' being the centre of a large district and th0 transfer point for the furs going out to the coast and goods to be forwarded to posts in the north. ,For a number of: years Fort Thompson was ■ in charge of Samuel. Black. On one of his trips of exploration David Douglas- came to -Fori !Thorap- son when ho was the guest of Samuel Black. One evening as they sat oyet* their supper of dried salmon the conversation turned to the fur trade. The scientist felt for it a sort of "Prevent Grip and Infiuonsn. GROVE'S L. B.

The two men became a little heated, and Douglas finally stigmatized the fur traders aa men with souls not above the a heaver skin. This was; more than Chief Factor Black could stand, and he at once challenged Douglas to a duel to bo fought on the [following morning. When morning came Douglas decided that his proper course was to go his way and continue his exprpa- tions, without attempting to kill Black or give Black a chance to kill him. Both' escaped the danger of a senseless duel,; and yet, strange to relate, before long a tragic death overtook the two men. Shortly after this unpleasantness at Fort Thompson, David Douglas visited tlie Sandwich Islands for the purpose of studying. the plant life of that mid-Pacific territory. His visit was drawing to a close and ho .vas soon to return to British Columbia, when he was gored to death by a wild bull. So died the famous botanist and explorer of British Columbia, . . Samuel Black, chief trader of Fort Thompson, who once wished to fight Douglas, met with even a moro tragic end. In the winter of 1841 -jseyen years after the death of Douglas—-Black was murdered In the fort by the nephew of a friendly neighboring Indian chief, the savage's only motive for the crime be- rig the superstitious belief that Black had charmed his life away. The Days of John Todd One of Blacks successors at Fort Thompson was John Todd, a man of good executive ability who thoroughly understood the Indian character. Near 'the fort of Kamloops the Hudson Bay company kept exten - slve stockades for horses, for In the neighborhood hundreds of fino horses were bred for tho company's transportation service. Not far away was the camp of a large band of Shushwap Indians to whom the company's horses at Fort Thompson were a great temptation. In the end It proved greater than the Indians could resist, for the decided to obtain possession of the horses, oven should they be obliged to murder John Todd and al lhls staff at the fort. ■The Indians hud .their plan and had decided to carry it out during their next 'visit to Kamloops. One bhief especially friendly to Todd, although he had not been able to prevent the plan of murder and robbery being adopted, decided to prevent it being carried out. He disclosed the plot of the savages to Todd but not until the Indians had set out on their murderous expedition. Informed ot what was afoot. Todd set out nloiie on hoseback for the purpose of meeting the Indians. Arriving at tho Indian camp, Todd rode his famous horse into the midst of tin* band. Dropping his bridle reins, he held aloft his rifle and his pistol, and then flung them to the ground to show the Indians that he trusted himself among them without the means of defense at hand. From this the Indians well understood that Todd had come to them on a mission of peaco. They gathered about him and still on his horse, Todd addressed the band. Ho spoke of his friendship -for (hem, of which he was about to give further proof by saving them from the dread scourge, smallpox, which ho said was near at hand, and it would surely come among thorn unless they allowed him to safeguard them against the disease. Ho had como with medicine to save them. Within a few minutes Todd had conquered the three hundred Shushw.ap warriors, who had believed the report of the appearance of smallpox and had consented to bo vaccinated. Todd's ruse had succeeded. All Were Vaccinated Fifty of the leading warriors wero first selected for the operation, and then twenty of tho next rank, when tho supply of vaccine gave out Todd, however, continued operating on the arms of the warriors untill all had been treated, As a lancet ■he used his tobacco knife and he afterwards admitted to a friend that when certain noted rascally warriors came up to be vaccinated, ho made as lurge wounds as he dared, and put into the wounds a double* quantity of vaccine virus, so as to mako it certain tiiat these ringleaders of the conspiracy would not wield a weapon for ten days or so. Of course he vaccinated them on the right arm so as to disable as much as possible. This ended the conspiracy. Giving up their plan of murder and robbery, the Indians turned about and went home to nurse their soro arms and offer up thanks; for having had their lives saved by chief factor Todd. . The Visit of Paul Kane It was about this time, 1846-47, that tho celebrated painter( Paul Kane, visited tho Pacific coast for the purpose of obtaining inspiration and material for a series of paint- lings illustrating the Injdian life and character. In May Paul Kane set out from Toronto, travelling across the continent by tho usual chief of which was the canoe. Ho reached Vancouver on December 8, oi* a little more than seven months after having set out from Toronoto. Today fhe journey can be mado within a week. Paul Kane first visited the southern country along the "Williamette river, aud then lie found his way northward by Puget Sound and Vancouver island. Here among various Indian tribes he spent the summer of 1847. In the autumn he ascended tho Columbia river, crossed tho Rockies and in December he reached Edmonton, after enduring great hard ships and much suffering owing -tO the Journey being made so late ip the season. Passing down the Saskatchewan river, he _ came to Cumberland House, where he met the party of Sir John Richardson and Dr. Rae on their way to the MacKenzie river and tho far north in search of Sir John Franklin, who was then lost in the Arctic regions. In October 1848 Paul Kane arrived in Toronto, where he set about, putting into permanent form the material collected during his western journeys, A Fort at Victoria It was as latea s the spring of 1842 that the first toKt and trading port, on part of the site ot the present city of Victoria wero built. That was the -begin ulg pf tlio present provincial capital, and tlie beginning was made by Factor" Douglas, later Sir James Douglas, and the chief officer of the company on tho Pacific coast. The spot selected for the fort was itnown as Camosom, but the fort was given the name Victoria, In the following year the new fort was placed In charge .of Rodeerick Finlayson. He had brought to Victoria a number of wild cattle of Mexican origin, As soon as they were landed the cattle dashed into the woods, and it was with difficulty that they wero finally coral- led. AXter a tlmo a number ot the cattlo were sufficiently subdued to be yoked and made to haul timber. To this th Indians about; the district objected on the ground that such work should be done by women. If the cattle did the work the Indiana feared that the women would become idle, and proud. For* this reason tho, Indians thought the working cattlo should be killed. They also had another reason, and that was the meat that could be easily obtained by slaughtering the-. animals. The temptation was too strong, and ono day ,the Indians coming upTO part of tho herd that had wandered away from the, tort, killed a nura> ber of the oxen, and for a short time lived sumptuously Upon the. beef. The garrison soon missed the cattle and the carcasses of the butchered oxen were traced to the nelhgboring village of the Cowlch- Ins. Finlayson sent a message to the chief demanding payment. It was refused and the Indians proceeded to attack the fort in the hope oi capturing the stores it contained* Pouring forth savage yells and Indulging In terryfirtg antics, the iu- • [fiPage6 •SaaTai __ f!THE NELSON lriJLY; NEWS, MONP^y-lfflQiOTW, NOVEMBER i, 'ttigfr: iM&$et$t arid" Finance Lead on Firmer trading; Stabilize Related Issues.

In the meantime Finlayson had sent out an interpreter to the village, and tolling the women and children that they 'Were about to< be attacked had induced them to flee from the village into tho woods. This was what Finlayson wanted. Then mounting the parapet of the fort, ho beckoned the chief to come within speaking distance, when he called them fools for trying to Injure his fort with their musket fire. "Know you," said Finlayson to the chiefs, "that with one motion of my finger 1 can blow you all Into the buy. And I will do It too. See your houses yonder." At that Instant a nine pounder loaded with grape, shot, was fired at the lodges from which tho women and children had first been scared away by the messenger, bo tbat no ono would be hurt!" 'The grapo shot tore to splinters a number of the cedar lodges and the one discharge of the cannon inspired the ind Ian s with fear that they at once called for a parley and made peace, agreeing to pay for the cattlo killed, to punish* the thieves and to keep the' peace. , Where that grotesque and bloodless battle was fought, now stands the capital of British Columbia, VI- toria, -one of the most beautiful cities in Canada.
