Fate oi Major Burde'i Bill

in House
VICTORIA, D»o. U.—tSpeotel.)—
Fate of Major Burde'* minimum
wage bill hinges on a point of order
raised late tonight by\H- O. Twigg
Of Victoria. Mr. Twlgg claimed thai
the bill was out of-order, because
Its enforcement would Involve an
expenditure on the part of the
crown, and after some dlscutnlon
of the point of order, Mr. Speaker
jBpekhsm m*m-v*6 hts deoMda-n until   morning. ,- •  '
The debate on the bill came up at
all three sittings during the day and
mahy member* took part.
Mingled views on Major Burde's
revamped minimum wage bll-I were
expressed at a further hour's Inconclusive debate on the measure at
this morning's. session of the legislature. Probably the high light was
the statement of Captain S. Leary
of Kaslo-Hlocah, an employer In the
lumber trade -himself, that the pro*
posed minimum of about $2.10
worked out for the year, at le_u
than the lowest minimum allowed
for women under the existing mimi-
in um wage act. With not more
than 22 working days a month and
about seven months a year, the wage
yielded about $60(1 a year, while the
minimum wage for women ot $12.50
a week yielded $600 a year. Captain
Leary came out emphatically for
the   bill.
Several members said that they
would support, second reading on
the assumption that amendments
broadening the rcap'e of the bill
would be put {.trough in committee,
aa they objected to tho present discriminator!' selection of the lumber
Industry, as the only Industry affected. "Class legislation" one called
it."
"As Labor members we are unable to guess what ' Influence
changed the' original bill brought
In by the member for Alberni to its
present form," said Frank Browne,
Burnaby.
A. £). Paterson, opposed the bill
flatfootedly.
"The time has come when we

Owners   Must   Pay-   Says
Oliver;   People Will
Pay, Says Jones
VICTORIA, Dec. 18.—(Special.)—
Terminating the most heated debate
of the session, the legislature this
afternoon passed second reading of
the government's Sumas bill by 27 to
20. The four Labor men voted with
the government and the three Provincials with the opposition.
Opposition efforts to relieve the
Sumas land owners from full payment for the benefits to their land
of the reclamation scheme wet-
described by Premier Oliver as a
"raid on the treasury" and he said
that before *he would be a party
to such a transaction, he would resign his office as premier. Members
of the government and their supporters desciibod the farmers who
were taking a compromise, as "speculators" trying to shift the cost of
the work on to others to reap the
profits of the reclamation and avoid
paying  for it.
Debate   AlmoM,   All   Day
Opposition members led by R. JL
Pooley and J. W. llones pn-unteU
against the course -pun-med by (he
government in closing .the courts to
the land owners, bringing- them to
Victoria on an Invitation to negotiate a settlement and then refusing to accept the recommendation
of the agricultural committee of the
house. The debate occupied almost
all day. Hon. K. D. Barrow explained the graduated system of Interest payments involved ln the bill
for the first 10 years when he
moved  second   reading this  morning.
In announcing that the opposition would vote against the present
Sumas bill, as laid before the house
by Hon. E. D. Barrow following the
long investigation held by the agricultural committee of the legislature
J. W. Jones, South Okanagan, atated
that the committee had made what
was practically a unanimous recommendation for a settlement of
the dispute between the lund owners
of   the   government.
Planned  Minimum  Asf-cstutwlit
"The committee had perfected a
solution , which was satisfactory to
the owners, had the premier not
stepped In," he said. "It would
have given them _tst and courage
to face their difficulties and t-y to
increase the value of the asset which
the .government must consider that
they have, as a result of the reclamation Hcheme. We should fix a
minimum assessment for at least
the first five years rather than
probably evict many of the owners
who have been there for 21) to 40
years struggling to make a living in
the   face  of   the   elements."
In hts review of the whole situation,- he said the owners had understood from the beginning that
they had as-uratices that the cost
would not exceed $1,800,000. They
had not been kept advised by the
land settlement board, and woke
up ln litl to find that tha cos*,
was $2,600,000, and now it KM J-.-
500,000.
Charge-*.  AgtiiiiM •lones
The premier chaigrd at th*-' outset
that Mr. Jone.l had mUr«ptM*tlfv4
the facts of tho case. He stat-ji.
that he had warned the owners
that engineer's estimates of dyking
projects were always unreliable and
had, In fact, advised them not to
proceed with the scheme until the
cost of materials hud dropped. He
had particularly warned them, toe
declared, that the government wftdffl
not stand behind the Sumas scheme
and that they themselves mu_t tt-ke
full   responsibility   for   It.
"If the owners do not pay the
cost of this scheme who Is going to
pay it?", Mr. Oliver asked.
"The aame people who are paying
for the Pacific Great Kusiern," said
Mr.   .lone;-.
"Yes. my ft lend has something behind   his  stand   on   this  matter,"   the

Robbers Made Away in Car;
Several Near-Collisions in
Escape
WINNIPEG. Dee. 18.—Efforts to
trace the bandits who early yesler-
dav slugged the cashier of the Manitoba liquor commission and escaped
with $16,000. had proved fruitiest
up  to  late  tonight.
Combined efforts of the provincial and city police have obtained
complete details of the bandits'
fight up to the point where the
men abandoned the stolen, bullet-
riddled car, In which they made
their escape. Beyond that point Jhe
police have been unable to go.
Heuaattonal   EHoapes
The flight from the scene of the
robbery wus, replete with sensational escapes. Bullet marks on the
car indicated that the* shots fired by
T. Nuttall. the cashier, were not far
from their matk. The car turned
east on Logan avenue and In Its
flight forced Bob Temple! on, a
driver for a ■ furniture houae, to
drive upon to the sidewulk to avoid
a dlsust roils collision. Again at
Alexander avenue ami laabelle street
the bandit car nearly caused a collision. A teamster, warned by the
roaring cutout of the car, barely had
time to urge his horses up on ihe
boulevard before the bandits swept
past.
At 10:45 a.m. the cur wus driven
behind a residence on Bonnatyne
avenue and abandoned, and there
the trull  ends.

VICTORIA, Dec. 18.—(Special)—
Settlement of outstanding disputes between unionists and anti-unionists in
the Presbyterian church seemed assured last night, after the proposed
settlement had trembled on the verge
of a deep gulf of legislative difficulty. Amendments to the Church
Union art, introduced by the government in the legislature to complete
the church union question, were
finally approved, but not before R. H,
Pooley, opposition leader, unintentionally imperiled the whole settlement   with   further   amendments.
After hearing appeals from church
unionists in the house against any
move   which   would   renew   the   dlffi
tho Great Wall to keep the country |
together.
A woman from tho south, so thel
legend runs, brought cotton-wadded!
clothes for her man, who had been I
Impressed by the emperor to helps
build tho wall. She was told that I
her husband had died, and that ehel
could not have his body because it I
had been thrown between the brick I
facings of the wall and crushed there |
under  tons  of rubble  and  earth,
The woman, persuaded a comrade!
of her husband to show her the I
stretch of wall where the body of I
her husband lay. Three days and!
three nights thereafter she walked J
up and down that length, until the I
compassion of the divine power was 1
excited by her laments, and that part |
of  the wall collapsed.
The   scandal  came   to   the   ears   of I
the emperor, who recognised*, beneath t
his tyranny, that the conduct of the
woman   had   been   most  orthodox.    To
regularize the matter, he directed that |
she   be   admitted   to   his   houseB-ftld.
First, however, he planted her prayer
that  she  be  permitted   to  select  the j
bones   of  her  husband   for  more  de-

Premier Oliver nnd Col. Cyrus Peck
V.C., as neutrals in the church union
controversy, appealed to the house
not to plunge into religious strife, bin
to allow the two wings of the Pr*s-
byterlan church to settle their difficulties amicably between themselves.
• General Odium assured Mr. Pooley
that he was attempting to introduce
the seedd of serious discord into the
whole question,
"Rather than do that, I will withdraw my amendments," said Mr.
Pooley, amid thundering applause
from all sides of the house.

should he be holding an apparently
endless conversation with a lost uncle
ln a dark street that smelt of dustbins?
"Because," he began, and then, as
if suddenly enlightened, "Oh, I say,
do you mean that it isn't—that you
took  it  with  you?    Besides,  if you
did, it would mean "
The idea almost knocked -him off
his balance. Why, it would mean
that Bally whs all right. It would
mean—he caught Fritzi by ths
arm, and almost shouted, "Sally,
Is Sally with you? She said—I mean
the telegram said so, only we
thought it was a fake. Ia she, is
she? Oh, for the lord's sake, da
say  something,"
"My young friend," began M. Lasalle, then he paused, coughed,
and said uncertainly. "Sally? What
Is all this about Sally and tele-
grama? With me? But, no, my
friend,   how   should   she   bo?"
"Then it waa a fake," groaned
Bill, and relinquished his hold upon
M.   Lasalle _   arm.
"Go on about the formula," h-e
said. "You are sure you didn't take
rt  with you?" j
"Of course I am Burs. I left a
letter for Sally, and In it I told her
that the red lacquer cose was ln
the bookshelf. I told her behind
which book she would find lt, and
all the deciplon of whether to use
or to destroy it I left in her handA
They are small, Sally's hands, but of
the most capable."
"She looked in the place you said
The   red   lacquer   case   was   gone."
"Impossible!     Tou   are  sure?"
"It   was   gone;   and   now   Sally's
gone too."
"fA—la—la—and when did Sally
go?"
"On Wednesday?" and Bill groaned
out the story of the woman in the
blue motor veil who had, as he
put It, coins bothering Sally on Monday, and how she had gone up to
town on the Wednesday j,nd disappeared. He told of the faked telegrams and of his fruitless search for
Sally, and at the end Fritzi took off
his hat and ran his fingers through
his hair.
"But it was on Wednesday that I
saw Sally." he remarked, and felt
Bill  grip  his arm again.
"When? Where did you see her?"
"In the road over there, near to
where you met me. I'had gone out
to take the air, to think, to dream;
and all of a sudden like a flash I
saw Sally."
"Where ?"
"In a car. It went slowly because of much traffic, and the light
of a street lamp lt shone in upon
Sally's face. I think she had been
asleep. She bunked and looked at
me, and I think to myself, 'Aha.
now you are caught.' And then the
car moves on and they are gone."
"Which way was it going?"
"How can I say? It came from
London,   however,"
"What time was it?" Th& words
hurried   from   Bill's   lips.
"My friend, when I work the time
ls nothing to me.    How do I know?"
"But the  street  lamps  were   lighted.    It must have been after dark,"
"Yes,   yes."
"Have you no Idea what time it
was?"
"My friend, none."
"What  sort   of  a  car  was  it?"
"It  was  a   car."
"Yes. so you said; but what
make?"
"I do not know. To me they are
all   alike."
"Was it a Wolseley?"
"My friend, I tell you I do not
know the one car fom another.
I hear them spoken of, a Ford, a
Wolseley, it ls all the same to me."
Bill's jaw dropped. That there
should exist a human being whose
intelligence was so low ns not to
be able to distinguish a Ford from
a Wolseley, simply staggered him.
"Oh, 1 say!" he said.
"Yes?" M. Lnsalle was all polite
attention. "What Is that you say?"
Bill said nothing, He was speechless. He began to put In some rapid thinking. Old Lasalle was a washout, absolutely. No use wasting
more time on him. But he had
peen Sally, It was obvious that he
had seen Sally; and in spite of his
vagueness lt was also quite obvious
that he had seen her driving In the
Ledllngton direction after dark, and
at a point at least five miles distant from Piccadilly. So much for
Etta's evidence.
He experienced an instant and
overwhelming desire to get back to
Ledllngton, to find the inspector if
possible, but anyhow to get back to
Ledllngton. He felt furiously incensed with M. Lasalle. What business, had he to lay Sally open to
these risks? Why couldh't he settle
his own affairs with his own conscience? And now not even to
know a Rolls-Royce from an omnibus! He had at that moment no
use for inventors, absolutely none at
aU.
"My friend," said M. Lasalle at
this auspicious Juncture, "you appear
to me to be troubled. If it is about
Sally, I bog of you not to be uneasy. For me, I am persuaded that
if Sally has gone away, it is for
some very good reason. Reflect! You
think that I am dead. Am I, therefore, dead? Nnt at all. I have merely
retired myself that I may have some
peace. In my Judgment It 18 so with
Sally. She has retired herself. She
plnys you a trick. Presently she
will   laugh   at   you."
At this moment Bill lost his temper so thoroughly that his subsequent
recollection of the terms in which
he expreespd himself was rather
vague. It Is, however, certain that
he waa extremely rude to the astonished M. Lanalle. that their parting was of a very abrupt nature,
snd that, a little later on, three policemen called upon him without success to moderate the speed at which
he was driving In the direction »•'
Ledllngton.
M. Lasalle. for his part, resumed
his interrupted walk. As, he wand
sred slowly snd meditatively amongs',
the crowds that hutritd, pushed, am'
.nst.ed. bis thoughts resumed thel;
philosophic   calm.
'That Is a worthy young man, o;
a rash and impulsive temper, bui
worthy. That no loves Sally is ap
parent even to me who am not observant in such matters. It is also
his excuse. By thia time, he doubt-
less regrets his hasty words and
his    discourteous    departure."
He continued to walk, gazing
dreamily at the passers by. Presently a strange little smile crossed  his
"Tho red lacquer case—the formula," hs murmured. "I wonder—very
much—I wonder,"

Watch Yoar Enzymes
Kootenay poultry folks, watch
your little enzymes!
Here is the latest miracle
ii poultry culture, a 1925 performance of the Farmingdale,
Long Island, poultry station:
1'roduction of 7500 more eggs
t an the station's best previous
record for nine months, and
13,000 more eggs than the station's high mark for one year
h its laying contests.
Says the American Poultry
Journal, December number;
In looking: nt the final reports
of tho contests for ihe S8&-dfty
trials that are now \n\xt, we are
Interested ln the egg yield secured
at the New York state laying
content. VarminRrtnU*. i^onc Island,
where lights were not use*), ami
a special g-ermlnateil o;tts and buttermilk ration was used to increase the consumption, digestion
and assimilation of tho food. This
milk and oat mixture owes lti
effectB to certain enzymes 'which
lt contains, and which arc increased by allowing the mixture
to stand overnight in a lvirm
room (60 to 70 degrees) l>p;'ore
feeding. The egg production for
the entire Farmingdale contest
bent lhe best previous record in
that contost by over 13,000 eggs.
Each 100 birds received tJjres
nounds of the buttermilk and three
pounds   of   oats   dally.
The germinated oats and buttermilk mixture was not u.sed
as a substitute for green feed,
which was given regularly as
usual. The ration had its most
important effect from May to
November.
In the August number of the
American Poultry Journal, Clarence E. Lee gave a preliminary
report on the new ration, which
}ad been'under development for
two years. In describing its
1 ieparation, he said:
Soaked (get-initialed) oats are a
valuable feed, for they contain
the enzyme diastase, which is a
remarkable aid to digestion of all
starchy foods and Wt^f-Cl* stimulates thc appetite, causing great-

Heat Comfort
One   of   the   things   ye   can't   Just
understand ls why people who come
from the British Isles are able to
withstand our cold weather here without Inconvenience.
lt Is not unusal to see them during
their first wlnter or two with us,
getting along without gloves or overcoats.
There can be no question but that
their methods Of heating their homes,
which they will acknowledge ls much
behind ours In point of securing
heat, Is really responsible for their
ability to stand our colder weather.
Over here we are nol satisfied unless our homes or offices show a
temperature of from 70 to 75 F.,
whereas «0 F. would be considered a
"comfortable" lempernture over there.
In fact they bitterly complain of our
oveiheated, stuffy offices and public
buildings.
A Toledo physician, investigating
this matter, tells us that tha United
States soldier did not stand the cold
la the field, the barracks, or the
hospitals, as did the soldiers of
Prance and Great Britain, because
one was accustomed to 70 to' 80 F.,
and th? other to only 60 F. The
1'nlted States roldiers were more sen-
sative, too, and less resistant toward
nose nnd throat infections due to
this.
He points out alf'o that the air in
the cold Feeson contains less water
anyway, and then when we heat this
air, which of course takes up less
space, we reduce the moisture In the
air still more, until It is so dry that
It dries sut the woodwork, wilts the
flowers, spoils or dries out complexions, saps the vigor and so forth.
This lark ot moisture gives the
"chlllv'' feeling and more heat Is demanded. He points out further that
if we could accustom ourselves to 60
F. we could save half our fuel bill,
because it costs as much lo raise the
temperature from 60 to 70 as lt does
from   40   to   60.
Our heating and ventilating engineers are working on this problem,
and just how to give sufficient
moisture without too much heat for
the average household will likely be
solved for us. You seo we want the
moisture In the winter nnd we don't
want it in the summer. In the meantime, water In pans or receptacles
h<-hind the radiators Is of help. Opening up the doors and windows for a
little while dally, and getting ln some
outside air, with its larger supply of
water In it. will make us more comfortable with ;i lower degree of tempera lure.

Ip response to 4 request published
some time ago, from "BAY*."', who
wanted to know how to make the
crumb-like tbp on coffee cake, I have
received some 20 replies! Isn't that
splendid? lt will take some time to
publish them all, but 1 will do so, for
each letter,afeems to give a sllghtly-
■llfferent tifnt"an the matter. Here
are a few:\*- ■     \
Mrs. Q. t-U-MIsn B. W. used too
much fat In her recipe for a crumb-
,ike top to cttffee bread. The correct*
proportion Is an equal amount of
sugar and flour. For example: Ut
five tablespoons ot white sugar, five
tablespoons of flour, three tablespoons
of butter, and two teaspoons of
ground cinnamon. Work together like
pie crust and sprinkle on top of
coffee bread.
G. S.—I £_■£* tHe same trouble as
Miss B. VV- utnil I found out that
the coffee bread must be covered over
while baking. I now brush the top
of thc bread with egg, crumble the
top on Just before putting the pan in
the oven, then cover with a thick
brown paper. Keep this paper on
while Id the oven and put something
across the top of pan to keep paper
from settling down on top of the
crumbles.
Mrs. C. M.—The method of preparing the crumbs for "Strelsei cake,"
as it is known ln the bake shops, ls
thia: Melt the butter and allow to
cool slightly. Mix sugar, cinnamon
and flour together, and stir gradually
into the melted butter. Il the lumps
do not form well, add a bit more
flour,
Mrs. a. M. D.—In making the
crumb-like top for coffee cake, I first
mix the flour and butter together,
blending like meal, then I add the
sugar and cinnamon.
A Header — If toilowed closely,
these directions will give perfect results: Two tablespoons of flour, four
heaping tablespoons of sugar, one level
teaspoon of ground cinnamon and
three heaping tablespoons of shortening (butter preferred). First mix
the dry ingredients together, then
cut ln the shortening with a knife or
fork,    po not use hands.
Mrs. J. ".V.—Take two and one-
half cups of flour, one cup of butter
and two cups ot granulated sugar.
Mix flnur and sugar tnoroughly in a
large dish o- pan, then take butter
melted (not too hot) and add to the
sugar-flour mixture, rubbing all together till crumbs form. If mixed
too much they will become too fine-
This recipe makes enough for several
different bakings. It will keep In a
cool place If put In a stone Jar and
covf red.

A   FRENCH   MARRIAGE
PARifl — When a French couple of
thc middle class get married, the marriage  is a  most elaborate affair.
Friends of the couple are packed like
sardines in three or four b|g motor
busses, the cars gaily decorated with
flowers.
The route of the procession is always
about the same. First lo the mairie.
for the civil ceremony, then to the
church. If there Is to be a religious
ceremony; next to a photographer's, and
finally to the bride's home or to a
restaurant for the wedding feast.
Most of the weddings take place on
Saturday morning, the reason being that
In the majority of cases the couple can*
not afford either a honeymoon or for
the bridegroom to take a holiday.
A crowd of the curious always hangs
around the door of the malrle and the
photographer's waiting to. get a glimpse
of the bride and bridegroom, particularly of the bride, who generally seems
to enjoy the proceedings immensely,
and who makes quite a stagey little
curtsey when the crowd applauds, or
.she catches a friendly remark by an ob-
8-ver to the effect that she is pretty.

I most 'serious legislation  brought down
II Affecting the rights of the people In my
i Wai*." aald Mr. Pooley.    "1 am not un
, stfyndfnl that the people have $50,000,OOfr
' iijvested In thia enterprise, and that a
Vale of the road would be desirable. 1
■''Realise that we must devote our earnest
attention to see that the best bargain
possible be made to save aa much from
the wreckage as possible." He then re-
Viewed the whole history of the project
"The government has been trying for
four or five' yeara to aolve the problem, judging by the speeches of the
premier and other ministers," hs said.
"They have had Investigations made by
engineers and other experts, and must
have a mass of Information before
them. They have had reports made by
eminent gentlemen, even within the
put year, we are Informed.
"Now, in the last week of this session, we have thia problem brought before the house.** The provisions of the
bill are staggering to me ln some respects. Before any proposition of this
kind la put to the house, let alone the
public, the first duty of the government la to bring down the most exhaustive reports on the lands that are to be
tied up.
Asks fee fetus facts
•*We recall that the Cariboo waa the
first section of the province where
minerals were found; we should like
te know what minerals there are In this
district, what timber, what pulpwood,
What agricultural land, what graxtng
land, and ao on. Few of the members
have ever been ln that country.
['Is It right or just that we should
be asked to pass judgment on such a
measure brought before us in the dying
hours of the session? Think what we
propose to do.
"The area in question la twice the
else of Holland or Belgium, 10 times
the else of Prince Edward Island, 20
per cent greater than Nova Scotia, two-
thirds more than the total area of Van
oouver Island, half the slse of old Eng
land, and. five-sixths the sise of Scot
land.
"The premier says that the control of
land will still be In the hands of the
province.   1 claim that is not the case.
.'The Ileutenant-governor-in-council
ean sell anything he likes. There is
nothing here to compel the government
to come back to the legislature.
BaMtlad to infottnatlon
.'.*_: don't want to bring politics Into
this discussion. There has been enough
politics in the P.O.E. in the past. Iiut,
Sts members of the house, we are en
titled to the fullest information before
we are asked to cast our votes.
"I remember, back In 1902 and 1903
hearing the present premier make the
rafters of this house ring over the land
grants to the Columbia Western railway. He accused the government of
bartering away the heritage of the people. I remember hts very language.
Why this change of front? The Columbia Western was the last land grunt
In the history of this province. Now,
If there Is to be this change In policy.
It ls right for the people to be consulted .ao they can instruct ua how to deal
with It.
"At this time of the session we have
no time to sit down and quietly sift
this matter to the bottom. We should
like to consult our friends throughout
the province, who are equally interested, to see if we cannot once for all clean
up this P.G.E. question. It Is not a
good precedent to rush this through In
the dying hours of the session.
People Would rorm .session
"If the premier can find a purchaser,
and will enter Into a tentative agreement, subject to the ratification of the
legislature, If there could be an occasion
tor a special session of the house that
would be it, and the people would certainly aay that session was justified.
We could sit down for a week or 10
days and thresh the matter out, with
nothing else before us.
'. "But, now, we must protest in the
strongest possible words that we should
not endeavor to rush this bill through
at this time. The information we have
la of the scantiest kind.
"On our own head be It, if we rush
tfcle through—on our own."
Twlgg Backs Pooler
H, D. Twigg, Conservative, strongly
Indorsed hla leader's stand. According
to evidence collected by the pulpwood
commission last year, he said, there
Were only 20,000 square miles of agricultural land In British Columbia, and
SAW the government proposed lo alienate  25,000 square  miles.
H. d' Perry, Liberal, Fort George, a
deep student of the 1.0 E. problem, In
a maaterly speech demanded that the
province face the railway situation at
this time and indorse the government's
legislation. He argued that the P.G.E.
had never received from the province
the same treatment accorded other
railways ln land grants, and other
ways. Now, he said, the government
proposed to give the P.O.B. fair treat
ment, and he favored this plan, al
though he would have preferred a loan
bill lo complete the line to Prince
Oeorge, and a policy which would lead
to the tapping of the Peace River country.
, In answtr to specific written questions from A. McCreery, Provincial,
Vancouver, Premier Oliver formally announced to the house that, as he understood the POE. legislation. It did not
empower the railway directors to alien-
ate any of the railway's resources, or
any of the new land grants without the
consent of the legislature. He was
quite prepared, he said, to add to the
bill a clause specifically providing that
the legislature muat be consulted on
these matte re, although he considered
this precaution  unnecessary.
"It fa said that the land grants
constitute an empire," remarked
Mr. McCreery. "In a sense they do.
But are there no empire builders
left tn the old land? I think there
are.*- In the peat projects of this
sort have appealed to people In the
ojd land.' Now Is a favorable opportunity   to   attract   attention    to

Manson   Brings  Bowser  ta)
J. W. Jones blamed the prevent,
government for ever taking over the)
Pacific Oreat Eastern from the*
private company which built it.
Attorney-General Manson replied to
criticism when h» reminded the
house that the government's assumption had been approved by
an unanimous vote of the house,
and had been indorsed in writing
by W. J. Bowser, then leader o/
the   opposition.
Mr. Manson said that during the
last year the government hns *e-.
ceived "nibbles" from several tdl*
rectlons in Its efforts to aell the
P. G. R. and actually had negotiated with one substantial concern on
the proportion. If the government
had been able to place before these
Interests some definite scheme. ' IA
doraed by the legislature, he i
something tangible might have
suited.
"What   reputation   would   th«- p
mler  or  the   government  have  it}
did   not   Conmilt   the   representatr
of   the   people ?"   he   demanded.
'Will   you   put   ll   lo  the peopll
asked   Colonel   Cvrtis  Peck. ,V.C. J
don't propose to answer
now." Mr. Manson retorted. '
is only caviling."
'Did th& Interests negotiating
you during the past year know
the government had
make a land gram without th<
sent of the legislature?" asked
ua  Hinchllffe.
'They   knew  that  the
expressed   Itself   ln   favor   of
grant, but would have to be
bled to make such a grant eff<
Mr. .Manson replied
'Are the proposed tubsldi
same aa these.that the nsgi
asked?"  Mr.  Hinchllffe Inqul;
They are nothing like
as the conditions proposed
premier   declared.
He Goes After
Mr. Hinchllffe then annou
ha had read the letters
between the government
unnamed negotiators, and
gested that a grant of
acrea be allowed—a subs!
like that proposed In the 1
now advanced. W. A
came back strongly at Attorhey-Gen
eral Manson, accusing him of dragging politics into a debate\ which
had been on a high plane up to
that point by referring to Mr.
Bowser's letter to the late Premier
Brewster. Mr. Bowser ha£ committed only himself, he said, and
had never committed the present
members of the opposition.
"I for one confess the belief that
the Pacific Great Eastern should
never have been built," he declared.
The* weight to be attached to the
present government pronouncements
must be gauged by the fact that
they had repeatedly promised to finish the line to Prince George in
session after session. This present
policy had been uppermost In the
government's mind for nearly
year, he said. In view of last year's
debate and the negotiations during
the past year, nnd the bill could have
been brought down 10 days after the I
opening of the house. .
Then followed Major Lyon's plea1
for an adjournment and the divisions.
Odium Pays Tribute
Brig.-Gen. V. W. Odium and Col.
C. \V. Peck debated the hill from
opposite Hides, nt the evening sitting.
General Odium paid a tribute to the
fairness of Mr. Pooley's observations
and to the manner ln which he had
sidetracked political considerations to
view the question from a statesmanlike  standpoint.
"He appeared to fear the proposed
land grant for fear the land might
be injudiciously alienated after its
transfer to the P. G. E. company,"
said General Odium. "This fear should
be removed by the premier's statement that he will agree to an amendment that there shall be no such
alienation without a reference to the
legislature.
"If the leader of the opposition took
his stand fairly, then with these fears
removed he can conscientiously vote
for the bill."
General Odium expressed little hope
that a sale could be negotiated, and
a believer in the future of the
road, claimed that it must be pressed
ompletlon at both ends next year,
and must be given the same advantages as other roads by reaping some
of the benefits of the development it
gives to the land tributary. "Let us
have faith in the fufure," he urged.
Peck Doe* Not Like Flippant Way
This, replied Colonel Peck, waa
Just the sort of "goody-goody" language that was used in the papers
when any railway deal was to be put
over.
"I want to protest against the flip
pant way in which this grave proposi
Hon Is treated in this house," said
the colonel. "One feature that haa
not been discussed is that we are
going to exempt this 16,(100,0.0 acres,
an empire in itself, from taxation for
20 years. Who can tell what that
may moan?
"Sir Wilfrid Laurier said the time
hud come when there must be. no
more land grants to railways. That
is good, sound policy, but maybe the
time has cyme when we should make
an exception. Are we faithful to
ourselves and our constituents if we
rush this through in order to get
home for Christmas. Let's tuke a
few weeks or even months to look

FAIRVIEW WINS
DOUBLE-HEADER
IN BASKETBALL
Fairview Juniors Win From
Goofers by Measly Point
in Overtime
JUNIOR FIXTURE
IS HARD FOUGHT
Sheiks Have Easy Victory
Over Falcons, 30-13;
Simms Is Injured
Fairview hoop artists copped both
games in a double-header on the
Central school floor, before a fair-
sited crowd of fans last night. The
Fairview \ Juniors romped their way
to victory over the Gas Works Goof-
ors in tho first game, and after 10
minutes of overtime play, they won
out by a measly point, the final score
being 2S-2?. The second fixture, between the Fairview Sheiks an# the
Nelson Falcons, was decidedly in
favor of tht Sheiks, who .came out
at the long end of a 30-13 score.
Only One Basket in First Ten Minutes
■ In th-e first game, between the
Fairview Juniors and the (ias Works
Goofers, although the first period
was considerably slow for the first
10 minutes, when Fairview netted a
lone goal, every player was on his
toes and pressing hard, and when
the whistle at half-time sounded Fair-
view was leading by 9-4.
The second period started off with
brilliant play from both teams, and
time and again, when the forwards
made fighting rushes, their opposing
Kuards checked them off. Often there
were flashy combination plays made
by both teams, and play was so fast
at times that baskets were scored
only through a squeese. The Gas
Works Goofers caught up with the
score made by the Fairview boys,
And there was some heavy checking
done by both sides, and each time
one team netted a basket the opposing
team made a come-back and evened
up the snore. At the end of the final
period, the score stood at a draw,
17-17.
Fairvisw   Victorious   in   Overtime
Ten minutes of overtime was de
elded to break the draw, and every
player was on hla toes and marking
his man. The Goofers opened the
fcoring, and no sooner had they done
so when Fairview netted a basket,
The Goofers netted another goal, and
also scored on a penalty, and for
time had a three-point lead on the
Fairview boys. The crowd was In
an uproar, and the players were
playing a furious game. Soon Fair-
view came out with some brilliant
combination work, and netted two
goals in succession, and the Goofera'
only come-back was a lone point dn
a penalty, and were unable to score
another point before the final whistle
wss  blown.
The teams were:
Gas Works Goofers—Itc-alya, Gus-
tafson, guards; Farenholtz, center;
Bradshaw,   Freno,   forwards.
Fairview Juniors—Ringrose, StDenis,
guards; Waterer, center; Lauritz,
Rothery. Chapman, Muniuls, forwards.
Individual scores were:
Fan-view—lAurits, 6; Chapman, 6;
StDenis, •;  Waterer, 4:   Marquis, 1.
Goofers—Bradshaw,   7;    Realya.    8;

Gustafson,   3;   Farenholtx,   4.
The first half of the second game
was close practically from the first
sound of the whistle, and each time
one team netted a basket the opposing team would make a come-back
nnd even up the score. The Sheiks
took a lend on -the Falcons In the
last 10 minutes of this period, when
they scored on a penalty and then
netted the ball in the hoop. When
the period was oyer the Sheika Btood
at the beMer end of a 12-9 score,
limmi    Gets    Dielocsted     Knee
The Sheiks grappled the hall at
the sth£t of the second period, and
wasted no lime in scoring, nnd from
that time till the finish they never
once lost their lend. The Falcons
were working hard, nnd five minutes
after the siart Simms received a dislocated knee and was carried off the
floor. It seemed as though Slmrns'
being removed from the game caused
the downfall of the Falcons, for from
that time on they played a raggod
game, and the Sheiks scored on almost  every  shot.
Individual   scores:

Veteran Manager Plays Good
Game; Rosebuds Beaten
Two to One
VICTORIA, Dec. 18.—Victoria
Cougars, champion of the world, won
their first game of the season here
tonight when they defeated Portland
Rosebuds, 2 to 1. The game waa
a battle from the start and the
Cougars, though crippled, were good
measure for the league leaders.
Lester Patrick, mannger of the
Cougars, turned out In uniform after
an absence of four years from active competition. He played a great
game  for his team.
The  Rosebuds  made their strong
est bid In the second peiiod but ln
the other two were outplayed by
Victoria.
Halderson and Fraser, two of the
champions' defence men, are out of
the game, and Lester Patrick went
in himself to help them out. He
made several clever plays and was
robbed of a play in the first period
by  a smart play by  McCusker.
It was the first win of the'season
for the Cougars., They had previously figured in two draws. They expect to have Halderson ready for
the game In Saskatoon Monday but
Fraser will be out for a month at
least,    j |
Cougars    Best    In    First
"The Cougars had a wide margin in
the play In the first period. Portland tried three-man rushes, ' but
they crumpled like paper bagB when
they hit the champions' defence.
The Cougars stayed back until they
saw an opening and then their
forwards went in three abreast. Two
goals blossomed out of the Cougars'
tactlos. Frederickson scored on a
pass from Hart before the game
had gone three minutes and Walker sank Oatman's pass Just before
the Interval.
Victoria fell back before the furious assault of the Rosebuds In
the second period and Holmes picked
out several fast shots from Irvin and
Hay. The champions made a number of dangerous sorties into Portland ice and Walker and Frederick-
son tested McCusker, but {or the
most part the Rosebuds were
forcing the battle. Two minutea
before the interval a fierce rush by
three Portland men caused a hot
scramble in front of the Victoria
net and Hay scored.
The teams went through the third
period without a score. There was
a lot of hard checking and Referee
Meeking had to banish four players
for aggressive tactic*. The Cougars
jumped Into the three-man rushes
of the Rosebuds and staged some
fancy gallops of their own. Holmes
had to attend to but five shots in the
last period white McCusker was
tested by now fewer than 11 shots,

Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, who startled the
world a few years ago by discovering a nest of
dinosaur eggs ten million years old, arrived in
New York on November 9th from his Third
Asiatic Expedition under the auspices of the
American Museum of Natural History.
Again he attributes much of the success of his
expedition to the astounding performance of his
five Dodge Brothers Motor Cars.
Following is a direct quotation from an official
statement by Dr. .Andrews upon his return to
America:    .
The Gobi Desert in Mongolia is the most
extensive undeveloped and unexplored region now left in the world. Until a few
years ago it was retarded by the impossibly
slow traffic of camel trains, the only means
of communication.
But now it is being crisscrossed in every
direction by motor cars, or, more correctly
by one motor car, the Dodge. Sixty or
seventy Dodge Brothers cars are making
regular trips far into the interior of this vast
* waste, bringing out loads of sables, precious
furs, wool and other products.
No other car except the Dodge is found there
because we have tried it out on each of our
three' expeditions and have had it demonstrated to our satisfaction that the .Dodge
ia the only car that will stand up under the
strain of the roadless desert and do every'
thing we ask of it
Fpw people have occasion to subject their motor
cars to punishment of this severity. It is reassuring, however, to know that in emergencies Dodge
Brothers Motor Car is built to meet the test
These dependable and sturdy qualities also account for the fact that more than 90% of all the
motor cars Dodge Brothers have built during the
past eleven years, are still in active service.

There is a hippy me.'inm for the
housewife to follow between costly
"hand-to-mouth" buying and wasteful
quantity purotuii.&g.
For a small famllv, or If storage
space is not of tho best, it is poor policy
to buy food products In large quantities. Tbe loss in wastage Is frequently
more than the saving in the purchase
price.
Not only will there lie spoilage, but
there may be more reckless use when
a quantity of any product Is at band.
When there ts a large amount of sugar,
vhy save half a cupful'
Of course, for tbe family which has
efficient storage space, a sale or other
opportunity to buy produce cheaply at
reduced prices Is an opportunity to save
money.

KAPLAN SHU.
lltiER TITLE
Gets Decision From Babe
Herman; Challenger Wins
Two Rounds
NEW YORK, Dec. 18. — Loula
(Kid) Kaplan, the Meriden, Conn.,
"buzz-saw" successfully defended hla
world's featherweight title In a IB-
round claah with Babe Herman of
California, ln thje new Madison
Square Garden tonight. The champion waa given the unanimous
Judges' verdict.
The fight was Kaplan's right from
the start, hla aggressiveness actually making the fight. Herman boxed,
bl inched wrestled and tugged to
keep the champion from overpowering him, much to the disgust of the
14,000 spectators tn the garden.
Ringside critics gave the champion
eleven rounds, Herman two, and
called two even.
It was a slugging, mauling battle,
bat for a few flashes It lacked the
color and spectacular exchanges
that featured the six previous encounters between these consistent
rivals.
Herman ln Retreat
Kaplan's furious attempts at offensive kept Herman in retreat and
resulted in continual holding by
the challenger who failed to show
any effectiveness In attack himself
except In the tenth and fourteenth
rounds.
There were no knock downs in
spite of the vicious swings indulged
In by both battlers but Herman
took two acrobatic plunges to the
canvas, once in the tenth round
when he stumbled and turned a back
Hip, and aguin in the final rownd
when he bounded to the floor and
up again after dodging a Kaplan
swing. Kaplan's shiftiness and Herman swinging wildly throughout
featured the first half of the fight
at such times as they wire not
locked ln clinches and in the latter
half the chami»-on had sufficient
etamlna tn reserve to check his rival's belated attempts to rally.
Ftniu-ftan   Wins   On   Foul
Dick (Hnneyboy) Finntgan won
the semi-final bout on a foul from
Bobby Garcia, soldier boxer from
Camp Holabird. Md., in tho Mxth
round   of   a   scheduled   10-round   go.
Garcia was disqualified by Hof
eree Kid MeFhaUland. for hitting
low after being warned three times
previously for the same offence.
Featherweights clashed tonight in
two four-iouiul prt.'lhnluarien to the
Kaplan-Herman title fight, with
Nick QuaterelU of New York, 126,
gaining the judges' decision over
Tommy Juries of Atlanta, 125, after
which Johnny Klluccl of New York.
126 1-2, won the verdict over Willie
Makel,  Washington   negro,   126.
Jackie Snyder of New York, 126H-
captured a close dectslon over Jimmy
Sakamoto of Japan, 128, ln a six-
round  encounter.

Defeats  Preston  in   Preseason
Contest for Ontario Sportsmen's Trophy
TORONTO, Dec. 18.—The CunmUan
amateur champions, Port Arthur,
added another cup to the collection
that surioundB the Allan cup tonight when they defeated   PrHtOH in
the final game of the Bporttmen'i
Patriotic association senior series
of the arena by 9 to 3, and ag a
result the trophy for the pi-wcaeon
gallop of senior Ontario will take
the lonttM journey it lm« yet
been called upon i» make.
The winners won with consider*
able to spare and at no time did
they appear to  be fully extended.
Thev led by _ to 0 at the end of
the first period but Ihe Riveietdez
cut the margin in half soon after
the second period stalled. The
losers were holding their own fairly   well.
About the middle of the period
Gray drove one at Bchmaltz from
the wing and the I'reston goalie did
not see Hie shot until too late, the
rubber hitting him on Iho right
temple and Knocking him unconscious. He was carried off the Ice
but revived quickly and resumed
his place In the net with but a
short rest. This proved to be the
undoing of the conquerors. Three
goals weie seored in rapid succession and after that Preston hud no
chance.

premier replied. "He has a local
situation tn hts own constituency,
and he wants to create a precedent
here, which he can apply to that situation, he declared, evidently referring to Mr. Jonea* demand that
the government pay Irrigation costs
contracted by the fruit growers of
the Okanagan.
Own-en  Wdl  Off
"Who are these owners who cannot pay their charges?" he asked.
"The Northern Construction company I am Informed, wjy* one of
them. One gentleman who complains he cannot pay owns 800
acres of land and another 400.
"One man who organized this opposition to the payment of Just debts
Is a land owner who secretly drew
thousands of dollars from the engineers as part of a commission paid
to  the  engineer for this work."
I knew for three years that this
situation was going to arise," the
premier declared. "I saw. long ago
that there was a movement on foot
to prevent the payment of these Just
debts. Hector Stewart told me that
they  didn't  intend  to pay.
"I say this ls an organized effort to avoid payment of debts and
I would not be worthy of position I
hold if, knowing these things, knowing that an attempt ls being made to
put debts upon the people of province without any Justice or equity—I
would not be worthy as an honest
man, If I did not expose this attempt to raid the treasury of province.
"Before I would do that I would
hand ln my resignation to the lieutenant-governor."       ,
Mortgaged  Their Home
R. H. Pooley declared that the
premier and Mr. Barrow were not
in a position to act as judges be
tween the people and the land owners In view of Colonel Davis" evidence
before the public accounts committee,
chairman of the land settlement
He quoted Colonel Davis, former
board, who had direct charge of the
construction   as   follows:
"1 consulted Mr. Barrow and we
decided that the less we consulted
the land owners the better. If we
had given them all the Information
about the cost there might have been
a panic. . It might have been better,
however. If we had consulted them
more." Mr. Pooley said this showed
that the government ha_ deliberately-
gone ahead and mortgaged these
people's homes for all this excess
cost for whieh he held the government responsible, and declared that
In face of this evidence, it was un-
Bi'itish    to    close   the   courts.
R. H. Neelands brought out by
questions that about half the privately owned land, 8000 acres was
held by non-resident owners, whom
Mr.   Uarrow  stated  were  speculatots.
"Then I suggest that If these people sell out. the government fix thc
act so that lt goes about "5 per cent
of the spread between what they
paid for their land, and what they
get for it now,"  urged Mr. Neelands.
A. D. Pa teuton wound up the debate  with  a   fighting speech.
Big    Owners    Bfli-M'titiMC
"If the present owners at Sumas
cannot make good let the government give the land to somebody
else who will," he urged. "I am not
going to pay taxes for the man who
wont work.' Let these men show
they are willing to work, and then
if In five years they can't carry the
load I'll be the first man to volunteer to take over part of the load.
There are lots of farmers up there
who are working their land now
quite satisfied—and too busy to
come down here. It ls the big land
owneis who are doing all the bellyaching."

BRICKLAYERS OUT
ON'DIGNITY'STRIKE
English     Workmen  • Dispute
Statement That It Takes 72
Seconds to Lay Single Brick
LONDON, Dec. 18.—Forty English
bricklayers have gone -on a "dignity strike" and say they will pot
lay another brick until Alderman Edward Price of the Lambeth borough
council apologises for his declaration that they take one minute and
12 seconds td lay a single brick.".
.Meanwhile 250 carpenters, painters and other workmen are thrown
out of employment until the bricklayers' honor Is satisfied. These
other workmen say that they are
the victims of "pampered swells who
can't take a joke" and that th«y
will not have any money for their
Christmas   dinners.
Alderman Price, who asserts that
ho will not retract, told the members
of the borough council that the men
employed on a municipal housing
scheme, were laying only 400 bricks
a day, and he stood with his watch
in his hand for 72 seconds before
the council Just te show how long it
took to lay one brick.

CROWDS GREET
MEIGHEN WHEN
ARRIVES HOME
(Continued From rage one.j
In   Quebec   what  he   said   in   Portage
la   Prairie   and   predicted   that   the
lime   was   coifing   when   they   would
■ubport  him.
Mr. Meighen In opening his remarks said that he had been warned
against accepting the Portage la
Pmlile nomination by his friends
and allies in the Conservative party.
Xo triumph of the election was
greater than that of Portage and no
single event had done more to
strengthen his hand than had his
election to represent the constituency.
There was no statement, he continued, he bad mnde during the
election that he wished to qualify or
retract.
Tariff for ImM
"I have never," he said, '"used the
expression of a tariff wall 'brick for
brick with the United States' except
in relation to farm produce. They
shut out our produce from their
markets nnd v.o should shut out
theirs from ours. For manufactured
goods there should be a policy of
protection, not brick for brick, but
sufficient to stop the emigration
from our land, assist our industries
and enable them to exist. By that
principle I stand and that pledge I
repeat. The people of Canada voted
overwhelmingly for protection. The
people of Quebec did not vote for
low tariff, nor did the people of the
Atlantic. There was a verdict about
the issue abbut which there can
be no mistake. The people of Canada would prefer to have a protection policy put Into force by
those who preached it rather than
by those who derided It throughout
the  country."

Forty Take Part in Play En*
titled 'The Herald
of Joy'
The Catholic pai.ah hall was filled
to the doors yesterday afternoon
with happy children and their par-
enta, present to enjoy the annual
Christmaa tree and concert of St.
Joseph's convent. They wore in ho
respect disappointed with the program.
LltUe    Tot*    (ilve    t-ar.il
The concert opened with the
Christmaa carol, "Silent Night,"
sung by the little tote of the junior
grades. The girls were all dressed
ln snowy white, which waa offset
by a background of the beautiful
winter aoenery of the stage, making
a very delightful scene.
After this about half a dozen
young students amused the audienoe
hy telling what they would do tf
they were "Santa's Son," and were
not a bit backward In submitting
their views.
Ambitious   Play *
' But the most important number
was the "Herald of Jpy,'™ which took
up most of the entertainment. This
play Included about 40 students and
waa splendidly produced, under the
direction of the Sisters, who were
behind the 'scenes. The principal
characters were the Hem Id, Daniel
M;iV->niigall; the Earth, Miriam
Hughes; Charity, Eleanor McHardy;
the Star gf Bethlehem, Murguret
Gagnon; people of the earth, senior
students; children of the earth, the
stairs and the snowflakes, the juniors. *
Tlie   hardest  role   of  all   was  that
of    the    earth,    acted    by    Miri.u.tn
Hughes, who did her part splendidly.
EiL-Ven    Santa
After    the    concert    Carl    Larson
played the role of Santa Claus, and
received an uproarious welcome.
His waa the task of presenting a gift
and a bag of candy to every pupil
of the convent, assisted by Kev. J.
AUhoff, V.G., and two of the Waters.
Sueclal- prlsey were given to the
most willing find best behaved stu-
enta in the convent for the term.
Miss Kdna .Ma.*qui_ carried off the
prixo .'for the best in thc j*unveut,
Stella Scully and Paul Hundari for
the third and second ytar hi*,h; Patricia Wall and Joe Vingo for the
first Vear high; Margaret Kahal and
Jack Burns foi' th? seventh ana

Wilfred Carter for the fifth and
sixth grades, Marie Donovan und
George Gelinas for the third und
fourth grades, and Irene Blundell
and Freddy Romano for the first
und  second   gradea. *  ■

In a. continuation of the Thursday's case in city police court in
which Maebroda was given the
choice of a. compulsory minimum
fine of MOG or three months' Imprisonment, and taking the latter,
the charge against Sam Jeremko,
who was charged with directly assisting Maebroda in supplying
brandy to Henry R. Maundrell, an
Interdict, was dismissed by Magistrate William Brown yesterday
morning. <
Henry R. Maundrell, whose liquor
permit was cancelled, was found
guilty and fined )Y& for having
brandy   on   his   person.
Not   Guilty   Participation
Magistrate Brown, in giving Judgment on the case of Jeremko, said
he did not consider the facts showed
that Jeremko rendered any assistance, in a legal sense, to Maundrell,
to obtain the bottle of brandy. He
said that by merely stating the name
of his friend, Maebtoda, who had a
permit, then bringing his friend to
Maundrell, lt could not be considered that Jeremko was giving assistance in getting the brandy for
Maundrell.
He stated Maebroda made whatever arrangements necessary with
Maundrell, in which^fJeremko took
no part. Consequently he said he
must dismiss the charge against Jeremko.
Interdict Sinned Against
In giving Judgment on Maundrell.
Magistrate Brown said he found him
guilty of the offence as charged on
Thursday morning, and had reserved
the penalty for further consideration.
He said that the Government Liquor
act did not consider the offence of
an interdict In getting liquor aa being aa Herious as the bffence of the
person supplying an interdict with
liquor. The penalty which he could
impose   ranged 'from   $50   to   $100.
Magistrate Brown then imposed a
penalty of a fine of $75, or 30 days,
und  the   fine   waa   paid.
