The province of British Columbia with the wide diversity of resources stands perhaps in a prominent position in this respect, and with increasing development in the major industries in the country the coming year is brigh' indeed. With a mineral production exceeding in the past year anything that went before, as far as tonnage is concerned, and totaling, in spite of lower prices in metals, something over $62,000,000, a timber output for the past year of over $80,000,000 and fisheries and agriculture maintaining their usual high average, there is nothinr to fear in the Pacific province for the future. "The citizens of British Columbia face the new pkemikk maclean year with the greatest optimism, feeling assured that with the general advance of the Dominion, this province will carry its full share."

It marks the close of one period in our history and the beginning of another. Behind us lie 60 years of united effort. In this time we have built steadily up on the foundations laid at Confederation and have extended! the boundaries of the Dominion! from sea to sea. "Forty years hence manyj now living will join in the com-' memoration of the one hun- dreth anniversary of Confederal tion. The happiness of that' day will depend in large measure upon our labors in tm: new year and in succeeding; years. "As a result of the celebra-; tions of the past year, we un-r derstand more clearly than be-!_ fore the greatness of the task of building a Canadian nation.! We know that the dream of the! fathers oi Confederation was| not realized without courage PMUIRHmTT and perseverance. We know, too, that national unity in a country of different races and creeds is not achieved without charity and forbearance. The true wealth of Canada consists less in the abundance of our material possessions than iii these moral qualities and habits of thought which have come down to us as an inheritance from the past. In the new period of expansion which lies before us, it is our highest duty to conserve this inheritance for the benefit of those who will some day stand, in our places. So it may be said of us, as it was said of those who created the Dominion 'Providencs being their guide, they builded better than thev knew.'" (Signed) W. L. MACKENZIE KING.

The damage exceeded $1,250,000. Fed by a heavy film of oil and gasoline on the Hudson river, the flames raged over the area In the space of an hour.

Fire Chief Gildea had only a skeleton force on duty, but succeeded tn confining the fresh destruction to the ship. The cause of thc conflagration waa not learned.

Mike pulled his "boner" December 26 going to the Montana parlor for the stuff, paying for It, taking a sip and putting rhe bottle In his pocket, while Constable A. F. Allen observed the performance through the glass panelled door, according to the officer's testimony before Magistrate Noble Binns. As Mike meandered down Boss- land avenue, with the beer virtuously concealed tn his pocket the officer asked for the pleasure of Mike's company for 28 hour* or so. But argued Harold Mclnnes, Mike's counsel, from the evidence of Steve Baloni, the beer parlor waiter, submitted by the prosecution, Mike drank the beer he paid for and took outside only a bottle paid for a friend. His client was therefore not guilty of purchasing beer illegally, which was thp specific charge. But In the magistrate's opinion, Steve Baloni's evidence was not as creditable as that of the police constable, nor that of Chief B. DoWnes, who deposed that Mike was "Mtup," when he car- rlved at thc cooler shortly after arrested, despite Baloni's statements that Mike was sober in the beer parlor. RBOINA, Sept.

Yes, Scotland I And the trade commissioner notes, •Iso. that none of the British or Canadian successes, temporary or permanent, bave affected the volume of trade in that highly advertised American brand, but have been in the nature of extra business where there was none before. . This commissioner also notes that: "As the bulk of the trade still, however, seems to go to the exten- ■ sively advertised gum. a Canadian firm new to the market, wishing to develop business on a large scale, would certainly have to consider the problem of advertising." Surrender of the British people to tlie great American chewing gum habit seems to be an advertisement for advertising, doesn't it! Dementia Praecox Has It The expected has happened.

"Help me pack," this last to Mrs. Daring, who stdod holding one of Joy's hands and wishing desperately that she might help in some way. She followed Oladys into the bedroom and put Joy's things back In her bag. Oladys threw clothing from a deep eloset.

However, your doctor now sends you to the specialist he thinks necessary for the proper handling of your case. Sometimes hr feels that there are two or three specialists that you should see, birt he naturally hesitates to "send you tl\e rounds," not only on account of the Expense, but also for the oake of your pence of mind. t However, ln one otf the Italian cities they have worked out a system that should appeal to patient and physician alike.

Tears rushed to Joy's eyes. Oood old Franky, always loyal. Then they were ln each otfcer's arms and Joyce was sayhig, "How Ib he? Tell me, Franky." "He's pretty bad," Franky saJti. "His mother snd father got here laat night. He's been delirious part of the time and keeps asking for you when he/a out of his mind. I told his mother you were coming. Your letter never reached him.

To rehearse actual crop conditions and hazards of past season would take a good sized book. A repititon bf the latest and most deplorable submarine disaster may be prevented by careful thought and preventive measures, but the cropweather hazards that are met with each season are be- | yond man's influence. Agriculturists, the largest and most important body internal medicine decide whether or not an operation is indicated, and, if bo, | whether immediate or after building up the patient somewhat. A persistent headache may be due to j intestinal trouble, _to straining or over-; use of the eyes, to bad teeth, to sinus trouble, or other causes, thus necessitating the opinion of four or five specialists. Now the point ls not that every patient should -have to be examined by all these specialists, but that when a physician is confronted with a difficult case he can take his patient for a consultation at the meeting of the group of specialists. It certainly shortens the distance to relief, and that means much to any suffering patient. This Is really not unlike some of the private "clinics" ln our larger cities, where a group of specialists "check with the symptoms then showing, the over" cases referred to them by family Holiday Goods In order to clear out all our Holiday Goods before stock taking we are offering them this week only at discounts ranging from 20 to SO Per Cent Don't fail to take advantage of this great saving.

ROSSLAND, B.C., Dec. 30.—Making single goal scores in the first and third periods, the visiting Trail hockey sextet made itself the victor in its first meeting with Rossland in the West Kootenay league series, played here tonight before a large and enthusiastic crowd of fans. Apart from Trail's victory, the Rossland fans were well satisfied with the fast and scintillating exhibition of first- class hockey that was absolutely clean in every period. There was no rough stuff at all. And, Rossland's defeat, while deserved, showed only that there were weak spots to be covered up on the home team. For most of the game the visitors properly outplayed the I local boys. Their forwards were in surprisingly good form and combined much better than the home boys, while their defence men were the more tenacious and purposeful. Ross- land's real weakness lay in its defence, despite the fact that Pratt was quite the most dangerous Rossland player. EFENCE DEAR The home defence allowed itself to be penetrated several times and permitted the visitors many shots at Palfrey that m goalie should not have been ( Lied on to save.

On the play lt was shown that Rossland has a most formidable team which, however, needed considerable combing to have beaten the Trail boys, who were playing at the top of their form tonight. The teams were: Rossland—Palfrey, goal: Nelson and Pratt, defence: D. Dewar, Norris and *. Lauriente, and Sweet, a*. Dewar and Ferko, forwards.

Rossland Hockey Team Says They Want Clean Hockey, but Up Against Killing Tacticsl To the Editor of The Daily News: Sir—You have given a good deal of space particularly to writers who do not sign their articles. In criticism of the Rossland hockey team at Monday's meeting. Kindly publish this signed letter, as It ls the desire of the Rossland hockey team and the Rossland citizens that the public should be acquainted with facts not referred to in the unsigned letters published by your paper. It is further the desire of the Rossland officials and citizens that hockey should be played as a scientific, athletic game rather than as a slugging competition, which has been the case In the two league games played this season. MAIMING CROSS-CHECKING At Monday's meeting, and after eight minutes of play. Norris, captain of the Rossland club, decided to take the Rossland team off the Ice rather than have them cut up and crippled by the cross-' checking and slugging of several members of the Nelson team. Norris was finally persuaded by Managers Hunter of Rossland and Pelletler of Nelson to continue. We class cross-checking as practiced by Sid Deslreau, holding stick firmly ln two hands and forcing it against the throat and face, as a dangerous and foul •check. This form of check was made hy Deslreau against Lauriente when knocked out, and very nearly put him out of the game. Pelletler, the playing captain of the Nelson team, hammered Dewar on the back of the head with his stick while he was lying face down on the Ice, and also endeavored to malm Lauriente by kicking with his skates. Waiman of Nelson slashed the Rossland goalie, Palfrey, over the head, which might easily have proved the most serious accident of Monday's sluggin? match. TACTICS INFLAMED PASSION The killing knockout tactics employed by the Deslreaus and Pelletler from thc opening of the play were bound to inflame the temper of the Rossland players, and if these men had played clean hockey no trouble would have developed I as till Uie Rossland hockey team was given orders not to retaliate. The .greater part of this was done behind the referee's back. It is reported that Sid Deslreau made the statement that he wan out to get Norris and Dewar of the Rossland forward line. If Buch a report were true. lt would account for much. WARREN CROWE. O. E. HUNTER. L. W. NORRIS. REGINA.

PRINTINC-RULING-B00KBINDING BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 30.—War in the hockey world, between the National league and the American Hockey league, Inc., formerly the Canadian-American, seemed to have been averted for the present after an amicable conference today between President Charles Adams of the Boston National league club, and Morris Podoloff. owner of the New Haven American league team, on the status of L. H. Harrington. Harrington, an alleged Boston reserve player, farmed to the New Haven club, precipitated talk of an inter-league I hockey war recently by declining to heed a Boston recall order and continuing to play with New Haven. President Podoloff, who came to Boston on advice of i President Prank Calder, N.H.L., pointed Iout that Harrington's status was considered differently in New Haven, and President Adams agreed to take no further action toward the sale of tho disputed player until a conference with his manager, Art Rosa, on the latter's return from Toronto. Both club owners plan to meet again next week for a final conference on the case and both expressed the belief that the matter could be settled in a friendly manner without involving league officials in the affair.

M D. Wyatt, ln command of the British steamer Innerton, that delay wu being caused to vessels In receiving grain oargoee at the port oi Vancouver, were denied today by pert officials, who declared that all grain loading ships are granted berthing at the elevators by the port war ■den's certificate given the vessel en entering the harbor. Captain Wyatt who with 20 other ehip masters were guests of a Ki- ■wanls club luncheon, in the course of nls remarks, made the statement that "there are a mighty lot of masters who do not think the way grain elevators are now being managed ls an improvement over the old system. We don't know when our turn comes. This Is a serious thing for the British ship master. This sort of thing Is going to give th* port a bad name," CRITICIZES FCMIOATION Captain Wyatt criticized the local iumlgatlon system, declaring "the way fumigation of vessels ls Handled ls, as far as we are concerned, scandalous. We do not kick at fumigation, but at the delays. Some ships have been delayed over two days awaiting fumigation. Today, figuratively speaking, we have to go on our hands and knees to get a birth. This delay may mean a ship losing its charter." Commenting on Captain Wyatt's criticism. Dr. H. P. Cox, fumigation offi- II -cer, stated, that arrangements for docking any vessel were in the hands of the ship's agents. "We are willing to undertake fumigation of a ship as soon as she presents herself for that purpose. The trouble has been there is little accommodation for the Bhips to dock for this purpose," he said.

The annual statement of the Bank of Montreal was published In British Newspapers today and drew favorable comment in several quarters. The Bankers Magazine notes that there has been a rise of 23.8 per cent ln colonial railway shares ln the past year wh.ch, doubtless, has been due in a large measure to the appreciation in Canadian Pacific railway stocks. The year 1927, regarded as a whole, has proved a good year on the stock exchange. There has been an almost all around advance ln the good classes of commercial and Industrial securities in semi-speculative varieties such as artificial silks and gramaphoncs. Oil and rubber shares, however, have suffered almost unrelieved stagnation and scarcely less depressing has been the experiences of the diamond and general mining groups. VICTORIA.
