Ho made a- magnificent fight against the disease, but without avail.

For a time he followed the teaching profession in Ontario and Manitoba, but in the early nineties he gravitated to Ed- lnonon and with his associates founded the Uldmontoii Journal. From small beginnings his newspaper grew and expanded, and became a great force in the community. Under his editorial direction the Journal was a sheet to be reckoned with. He wielded a trenchant pen, and almost immediately found himself aligned against the Bulletin, lion. Frank Oliver's paper, and involved in the struggles incident to political and commercial rivalry in those days of rapid growth in the ' west. The Journal launched out en a Jarge scale, published a morning and" evening edition, and took a dominating position from which it has never been ousted. Severing his connection with the Journal in 1909, Air. Cunningham came to the coast and joined the staff of the British Columbian in the editorial staff. In this position he made a mark and became one of the outstanding figures in the life of New Westminster. In a highly commercialised ..age, the late J. W. Cunningham was distinguished by an absence of tho spirit of self-seeking that was to say the least' noteworthy. A big man, in every sense of the word, ho gave both physical and mental energy in unstinted measure to practically every movement that in his opinion tended to tlie sound development of the community, an expenditure that may have fo some extent hastened his end by leaving liliu open fo the attack which proved fatal.

AlacLean, minister of education, of the proposal which has. been made by the Union of B. C. Municipalities that the government should bear all the costs of the schools of the province, in a speech delivered yesterday afternoon before tlie convention of the B. C. School. Trustees' Association. He said it would" bring the whole educational system into the arena of party politics with probable dire results to the young generation. Teachers would be forced to declare themselves for one party or another, if .advancement were to be secured, he said. Dr. AlacLean took another tilt at the U. B.C. M. when he declared disapproval of the suggestion of that body to turn the management of school affairs over to committees of the various city councils. He referred to the teachers of the province as the most efficient and highly trained in the Dominion of Canada. "This is not an idle statement," he said. "Facts show that 36 per cent, of B. C. teachers have had university training." Tn answer to the charge that the cost of education was ruinous, he compared the four western provinces, Alberta with $80 cost per child each year, Saskatchewan $98, Manitoba $73.70, British Columbia, $74.CO. Dr. MacLean repeated the promise he said he had made several months ago in regard to -an educational survey. If there was a general demand j for one he would comply, ho said.

TIIK HI NTIXUDON JOKK Huntingdon is a small town of negative im- porlance on (lie Canadian side,of the international boundary lino and separated from Sumas on (he American side by an ordinary street.

All the resources of our railway and shipping companies will in fact be heavily taxed in carrying the season's grain crop to milling and consuming points in the interior and to the seaboard. Manufacturers, however, while- hopeful of the future, are not actually receiving orders in any volume to warrant the belief .that business generally will be any more active in^the near future .than" during the past few months. No doubt this' steadiness of" conditions' is in a,measure attributable to the determination on the part of the public to liquidate obligations carried'over from the years immediately succeeding the war" rather than to incur new' debts. Creditors'are carefully watching the course of harvest operations with a view to collecting overdue debts as soon a? this is possible. . They feel no doubt that in past years too much credit, has been given, and their opinion is bornp out by a number .of readjustments that are now taking place in the commercial and financial world. Meanwhile there continues to bo no lack of employment, and business in general appears to be fundamentally sound, as evidenced by the volume of railway traffic, the size of the bank clearings and the decreased number of commercial failures. Back of the general business situation, as it presents itself to the man in the street, are arrayed the financial resources of the country. These are,, in the aggregate, more than sufficient to care for the ordinary requirements of domestic and foreign trade, and can be depended upon to meet as well any exceptional needs that may arise should the European situation or any other contingency disturb our markets or cause us to change our trade policy. The fact.is that the financial world of Canada is stronger to-day than at any time since the war. A large percentage of its asset? are in the form of .cash or of securities that can quickly be converted into cash, and'as frozen credits are liquidated or frankly written off an increasing ���������proportion of its total assets can be regarded as representing the actual working capital of the nation. It only, requires a persistent adherence to the principles of sound " business, such as have saved Canada in the past from the worst offsets of worldwide panic, in order to vindicate to the full the Canadian credit system. In the operation ,of this system if is not too much to say that the heaviest and most difficult role has been played by the Canadian banks, and that .in a period of reconstruction and adjustment, when cvaiy system is challenged, they have borne their j full share of criticism and ad.lust- . ment. when every system is challenged, they have borne their full share of criticism and attack.

Box 94 I'HKPAKING THE I5EKS FOR THE WINTIOIt All work in-the apiary has for its . ultimate object the securing of:a good crop, and hence the preparation of bees for winter means more than the safe-wintering of the colony. ; The first step in.. preparing bees for the winter is also the first of the beekeeper's year as���������well as his first step towards securing next seasons crop. About the middle of "July preparations are commenced by . seeing that each colony is headed .by a vigorous young queen in order that the.maximum number of young bees may, be reared "to carry the:colony through the winter. Should- the fall flow be insufficient to cause a'large, amount of brood to be" reared, stimulative "breeding will have to be resorted to; that is', 1 part of sugar to 1 part water or dilute honey mixture must be fed.. Colonies that are week, those covering less than six frames, should be' united; this'maybe done by the newspaper method; or-two weak colonies'.may be brought together aiid wintered in one hive if it is divided by a close-fitting division board. This latter method provides the beekeeper with surplus .queens early the following season. Having secured e large force o! young bees, the next step is to s-.e fiat each, colony, has diffident stores to-not only carry it through the winter but also through the early spring till pollen and nectar are coming in, thus enabling it to build up rapidly. The stores provided should b: of the best;..no unwholesome honey containing a. high 'percentage of solid-matter should be given. natural stores are deficient, a syrup of two parts of the best . granulated sugar to one part water--- should be fed. This being last stored will be , the first consumed ��������� and, as, it breaks down-.-into gas and water, will defer solid-matter accumulating in the in- ,. .testines. ' Colonies in ten frame Langsforth hives to-be cellar wintered should .weight at least sixty pounds .without their covers, while those wintered outside seventy pounds or more. Protection from the cold is very necessary, as it not only retards consumption of stores but also conserves the energy of the bees. , Colonies wintered outside should have at least three inches of packing underneath them and about their sides with six to eight inches of packing on top. The most economical case is the quadruple, as each colony has the warmth from its two neighbors. Colonics should be placed in their cases and packed underneath and about sides before feeding. For feeding, ten pound honey pailb. in the cover of which fine boles have been made, are considered very satisfactory. Colonies- to be placed in the cellar are usually left on their summer stands until they have had their last cleansing flight; this is usually in the second or third week in November.' In all preparations the beekeeper should keep the ultimate object in ^iew���������-strong colonies in .the spring. ���������Experimental Farms Note. Cranbrook is employing a staff of cr.o-'nmi teachers ���������-at the public school, this year. One teacher has been dropped at the high school where the teaching of commercial subjects has been discontinued. the salo of ,thom and so getting stuck. Ills point, of view and weakness made an unsettled market, gave advantage in retailing lo one clique over (ho rest of the retail trade of Calgary, and- consumers, thinking they were held up when buying from (out of (he buy) retailors, resented if. and In many cases did not buy at all. ��������� Another Illustration: A heavy buyer at the lime of the heaviest supplies, ��������� visilod our warehouse, it. hoiug l.ho firsl open In the morning, bought from us to ho kui'o of supply of"seven orates of strawberries at $2.HO, then he wont bargain hunting to the other Jobbers warehouses and l.ho next warehouse he visited lie got. ten crates al. $2.00, al. a third ho got another Ion ul. $!.(!().

SO was at least f.0'unusuai. bad weather during the'--rasp .picking time could be blamed -for'a lot,-but helped only to accentuate the evils of distribution already'described. ;The first bad break was "a' car showing white mould so prevalent in the first part of the sea- soli. This car- was divided among one bunch of jobbers wide open to do their best which I believe was the worst thing possible to do. One firm started them at $2.00, another his quota at $1.50, another bis quota at $1.00 bringing them.all to that level. Some were even rebouglit by jobbers and sold at $2.00. We believe and so did very retailor conversant with the conditions at tlie time, that we could have handled the whole car at not. less than $2.00 average, this would have meant an immense saving to the growers, not only on that car, but on all berries arriving one, two or three days after, which were adversely effected by those dollar crate sales. Again at Edmonton, late in the season Edmonton jobbers, were taking out of the cars just a few at the set prices, the cars going on. They were told to take more, and"would have done so if they were protected, oven with the small supply they ran down prices to $1.50 and $1.75 on arge scales. At this time rasps were holding up good. ' Our company had heavy L. C. L. Express receipts, on Monday we would not sell at' $1.50 ;ind $1.75, put them in cold storage .ind held them till Thursday and Friday and cleaned them up at $2.50 average, not enough, but as high as we could pinch them so soon after the $1.50 and $1.75 prices. This was incompetent handling at the expense of the growers, ft is one wholehearted co-operation, loyally hanging together or each grower and association of growers, being ruined separately. Absolute and certain ruin on one hand, a safe and assured future on the other. Gooseberries arc always picked too soon, immature and so almost unsaleable under the mistaken idea of catching an early market. People who use gooseberries are the few who know what ay excellent berry they are, and will not bother with anything, but full grown, largo, clean .'tuff. The very late market is the best on them. Just a word; The Associated Growers of B. C. with headquarters at Vernon handling ti\ia fruits is succeeding. Growers will be dissap- pointel with results of course, but, none the less, they are succeeding and under the most, .difficult'' conditions there has ever been to contend with. They are succeeding a/id no matter how disappointed inanv growers aro sure to be, the Associated Growers are making wonderful progress, and any failures and disappointments are caused, mainly by 'independent shippers and independent growers cutting prices. No man is in a better position to know than I am. '1 hold no special brief for tlie Associated Growers. 1 have bought largely from independents, because I had to, their prices being lower, I had to compete with my competitors who were buying independent stuff, and I was free to do so, not J obligated in any way to the Associat- FJNAL CROP RBPOttT FOR THE YEAR Despite lateness of season, yields that must be considered as' satisfactory have been harvested in nearly all districts throughout the Dominion. The Prairie ' Provinces as a whole show increases of all kiiulrj of grains as compared with last. year. Estimated yields based upon Dominion Bureau of Statistics, give yields wheat 445,000,000 bushels as compared with 375,000,000, bushels last year and 360,1.87,000 in banner year 1915. Yield of wheat, oats and barley placed at 950,930,000 bushels, an increase compared -with last.year of no less than 232,464,000 bushels; low grades in Manitoba are balanced by high grade in Alberta and so far 90.4 per cent, of wheat inspected is in contract grade. Ontario's ��������� crops generally are lower than record breaking crops of 1922. but returns are good. In Quebec, farmers have bad good year. In Maritime Provinces returns on whole average up well. In British Columbia returns generally are better than last year. Details' follow: Prairie Provinces Since August 5th farmers have delivered 125,182,000 bushels new wheat as compared with 126,160,000 bushels for corresponding period last year when harvest was earlier. Railways handling grain expeditiously. Shipments from Lake head since Sept. 1st, 3 3,303,000 bushels. Threshing in Manitoba practically completed. Saskatchewan 75. per cent.; Alberta 50 per cent.; grades In Manitoba disappointing; Saskatchewan good and in Alberta high.

Every cut they have: made has been ,fo meet independent cuts, these independents figuring . they could cut cross lots on the Associated Growers' expense, and'so' undersell them' and still make better returns to the growers. The unfairness-of this policy is, tr>at the As-' sociatod Growers with their immense quanity must hold prices upland so Icl tho Independent- srippers and independent growers free from the general marketing expenses. Understand, 1 have bought heavily from tho independents, and so hurt the Associated Growers, and- eo real cooperation, which means all grower's co-operating, but, I had to take advantage of their lower prices to'compete with my competitors, who did and am guilty that much, but I had to, lo stay in business, and I believe I was more use in the bus'iiicss, than out of it. At a conference with the heads'of the Associated Growers early in the season, It was agreed that It wotlhl be belter for some of the independents' goods lo come thru my hands, and I worked with the Associated Growers to hold prices firm, than >to have those goods go on consignment to any who might use them, to beat out their competitors in sales, and so bring down all markets, also to keep out, of the hands of weak salesmen and irresponsible dealers. 1't in list be noted that Ave have had in Calgary alone, lour bad failures in a little over a year. These failures total nearly $35,000.00 with assets practically xiill, this amount work'ing back nearly 100 per cent', to .the' growers, -.In 'addition 'to this direct loss, tho indirect loss of these handlers cutting down'tlie markets would be about three times'the ' 'direct-loss, also worked nearly 100 back to the growers. The Associated 'Growers are stopping this, and when they have nearly 100 per cent, support will stop it completely, and it never will be repeated. : Just a word; Some of the stuff we have bought from some independent shippers has been what the Associated Growers could not supply us with, and what the independents were honestly invoicing at ��������� Ass'ociat- sd Growers' prices. I know lack of confidence in the ' leadership, is the principle cause of incomplete cooperation. My advise to every berry grower is,to join up 100 per cent., then join the Associated Growers, whose leadership is the best-possible, this will make the overhead (the one big bugbear) as small a percentage as it can be made. Begin now, and be 100 per cent, strong by February 1st, 1924��������� 100 per cent, co-operation, or 100 per' cent. ruin. S. J. FEE.

All arc products of the Canadian forests, and .practically everything you come into contact with in the day depends on the forest for one or more of its component parts. Then take the foods you eat, the paper you read by the wood fire at night; the food is, produced by Canadian farmers who depend on the forest for a regular supply of moisture, the paper is composed largely of wood pulp. It is.ajmost-beyond comprehension���������the amount of lumber used by Canadian industries each day, and the amount used in construction and in the development of the country each year. Canada's prosperity, her whole future, is one with that of her forests. Ontario alone gives employment to 17,000 men In the bush; pulp and paper mills in the same province employ 8,000 men, and the amount of, capital invested in the two industries amounts to over $150,000,000. Yet, for every tree that is felled, for every log that helps to keep the wheels of industry moving, for every board that is used in construction, twelve are destroyed in the forest by fire. This means that forest fires consume twelve times the amount of the lumber which is the life of Canadian industries, and that each year fire is depleting the forests which should hold back the rain fall so as to ensure throughout the year the moisture which is the life of the farm. Five hundred thousand acres of forest are burned over in Ontario each year, and the government of this province is burdened with a forest fire protection organization which costs $3,000 a day. Why is the country put'to such a loss? Because there are no means of segregating the criminal fools and careless! Take the fire whicli in October last took forty-four lives, rendered thousands homeless, and destroyed property valued at eight 'million dollars in the vicinity of Haileybury, the ter-1 high over o 00 foot tower. rible fires in 1016 around Matheson, and in 1911 around Cochrane. These, like the majority of other fires, wero the result of criminal carelessness. Settlers allow their slash fires to grow beyond control, the sportsman builds his camp fire in a mossy place and forgets to extinguish it, a lighted cigarette or match is thrown away carelessly and originates a small blaze which may soon develop into a holocaust beyond control of man. Years ago the railways were, perhaps, responsible for many conflagrations, but not so today. Although one half of the Canadian Pacific Railway right-of- way lies in forest areas in the east and is flanked by forests for hundreds of miles in both Ontario and British Columbia, this railway has long since ceased to be a factor in the destruction of the forests, In order to eliminate the possibility of fires being started by passing trains, all Canadian Pacific locomotives are examined at the end of each trip and great caro is taken to see that ash pans and front ends are in perfect condition. Engineers and firemen are given exiplicit instructions not to dump live coals or to throw waste upon the right of way, and should an engino crew "notice a blaze, by a series of whistles the section men and fire patrol are notified, and the'nearest despatcher takes steps to secure whatever additional men are required. The Canadian Pacific maintains a regular and efficient force which patrols the right of way in forest areas after the passing of trains and which cooperates with the Dominion, Provincial and" other lire prevention organizations to the fullest extent. Also at various points along the line are kept a number of fire tank units, each unit consisting of two tank cars, each of 7,000-gallon capacity, equipped with powerful pumps, and approximately one mile of hose. This equipment has proved valuable not only ' in fighting forest fires but in fighting fires which have occurred in forest and rail side-towns. ��������� ...,.' a -,._..,.

Leader of Girl Guides is Killed OTTAWA, Oct.. 15.���������Mrs. Ellon ?vlargarut Campbell. Ottawa, was instantly killed and 17 members of the Fourth Ottawa troop ol the Girl Guides, had narrow escapes when the party was caught on tlie White iridgc, a C. P. R. ��������� bridge over the Ridoau river, near here late Saturday afternoon. That, all the members of the Girl Guides troop escaped injury is duo to the presence of mind of tho troop captain'. Miss' Eunice Parker, and the splendid obedience fo her orders of the troop members. The girls, while on their usual Saturday afternoon hike,' decided to fake a short, cut over the bridge, which- has neither - walks nor upright, sides. The party had advanced to within a short distance of the west shore when a, locomotive was seen in the gathering dusk coming from the east, Mrs. Campbell, who was in the lead, hurried some of the younger girls off the bridge and returned to help tbe others. Miss Parker, -who was in charge of the older girls, cried: "All lie down flat!" Tbe girls obeyed the command of their leader and were unharmed although the locomotive passed within inches' of them. . When the locomotive had roared past them, the girls arose to find that Mrs. Campbell was not in sight. Her body was found shortly-' after in the river below the bridge. It is not known whether she was struck by tho locomotive or became fright: ciied and fell over the side of the bridge. The river is shallow and rocky at this point. (,'RICAT XRIBUXIO TO (Continued DIOAI) KD1TOII rom Page One) Distribution of B..C. Fruit There is' at present an application before the Board or Railway Commissioners for an increase on express rates, including commodity rates. Just now, fruit growers and shippers are too absorbed in their work to give the serious consideration to tin's problem that it necessitates. The industry has been unprofitable to growers for two years and beset with many diffieul'.uies, and this almost annual application for increased rate's on tlie part of express companies does not tend to stabilize it. Hast week we,, called attention ti> this application and suggested that carlot shipments on which no express service was rendered, should be taken over by the railway company who perform all (.he service, as is now done by the G. N. railway. We believe that if the industry generally urged this before tbe railway board, that they would lfave to show that such a move would benefit, the industry generally, as this removal might result in penalizing H. C. L. shippers, who are mostly small independent and mail order shippers who seldom or ever ship in carlots. An effort is being made by certain interests to discontinue the blanket rate from Calgary to Winnipeg, which at present stands at $?..''0 per hundred lbs'. .. We quote from a circular letter originated in Ottawa, as follows- "Many.interests feel that we have outgrown the conditions tir.it created the Calgary-Winnipeg blanket rate from B.C. and that it would be to the advantage of the industry blanket rate to Winnipeg, that it would have the effect of curtailing the distribution of B. C. fruit, and we would urge upon those responsible for the welfare of the industry that they take immediate steps to offset any undesirable change, generally fo break it up, replacing it by rates graduating easily across the prairies." We are of the opinion that if the' above-mentioned interests are successful in removing the present Society, for he' pinned great faith on tho success of the Provincial Exhibition; and the directors and workers of the society missed him greatly when the last exhibtion found him in a sick bed. The growth of the automobile and auto transportation attracted his attention .in the coinpiiialively early stages, and ho was naturally sei'/.oo of tlie importance of good roads, as a consequence of which he allied himself both with-the automobile association and tbe Good Roads League of lirifish Columbia, .being honorary treasurer of the latter at the time of bis death. A Master of Arts of Toronto University, he was a firm believer in the influence of education in its more advanced aspects, and was one of the prime movers if not the mainspring of the University Extension lectures movement, which was a labor of love that, involved ' much more time and energy than the uninitiated suspected. His interests were wide and varied, and among other matters in, which he engaged was an effort, to improve tho public library. With His Honor Judge lioway and Mr. J. W. Creighton, be was a member of the advisory committee. of that institution, and as in everything he undertook he threw himself whole-heartedly info the task, one of considerable magnitude. Among his major activities must be numbered his connection with the Board of Trade. An active member for many years, ho was regarded as one of the most, indefatigable workers, although as was cha.raclo.r- istic of him he never sought office. Apart from his value in community work, he was a man for whom many people in many walks of life held genuine regard. Ho was the soul of generosity. His whole life was informed by the instinct never' to spare himself and yet to show the utmost consideration for others'. For good work done, he bad utmost appreciation; for anything below the standard, for the weaknesses "of his fellowmen, he made the utmost al- lo.wance. He was a genial companion in prosperity, a friend indeed ir adversity. Making no parade of religion, he lived his whole life in tlu-) spirit of. Christianity. In politics he called himself to no party. Of Scotch extraction and bred among the land-owning and property-owning Scotch settlers of On tario, he was undoubtedly conservative in his instincts, yet with a tincture of independent thinking that precluded the possibility of binding himself-to any political formula. And the whole cast of his political thought, was tinged by a genuine sympathy for the aspirations to its place in the sun. years he had made .an study of the problems of political economy, or bad been able Underwear, Sweaters, Rubbers, etc., i'or Fall , Coino in and see our lines of So'clui.

No matter how trivial or how serious it may be, get the facts about every accident in which your car is involved.

If an accident happens, keep your head and do not leave the scene until you are justified in doing so. The driver who runs away after a person has been killed or injured Is almost, invariably pronounced guilty. Drive the injured person fo the nearest doctor's' office or hospital and report, to. a'policeman or al the police station. If you aro hold ovor for an inquest, you may be released on bond. While out on bond,.if. is best not to make any statement to any one except your counsel. Bo sure to appear for the inquest at the exact, time specified.
