This was the outcome of considerable correspon- & dence that-has passed to and fro bc- ..tween Mr..Harry Beach of the Iving- ������ Beach Mfg. Co., and his brother, who represents some "of the leading manufacturing men in the British Isles. In the first place Mr. Beach, wrote his brother, telling him the enormous amount of berries grown in (.his district and pointing out that them was some 2,000,000 pounds of cold process pack available at the prpsent time. The cablegram quoted above, tells the story in a nut shell of the success,, that Mr. Reach attained in trying to find a readv market, for this class of produce. But. - since the re- . ceipt of the above wire, Mr. Beach has written bis brother, pointing out the poignant fact that the cost of ship ping will mean Sv* lb. en l^. Whether this will have any detrimental effect on Ihe closing of the deal remains to be seen. At any rate, if the deal goes through.

The subject of pigs is an engrossing one, if one only stops Lb consider it. 0. Henry (.ells us thai "pigs is pigs" and he'was right. For from the time,that Christopher Columbus set out from the land of bull fights and onions Lo discover Lhe land that has become so dry that; the inhabitants want to give it back tp Lhe Indians, until the' present.day, pigs have just been pigs and no more. r But although Lhe rising generation is being Laught that a pig is a lazy animal of Lhe domestic kind who like father takes a nap after he eats, there, arc more branches Lo the pig family tree than one. The forefathers of the ' family Snide was called the Asiatic hog. This old fellow was a handsome animal, but history fails to .tell us what his coat-of-'arms looked like. ��������� ; Then the off-spring of this earliest settlor wandered to countries new and later on three other species were discovered in India, Ihe Malayan region and West. Africa. These were ' all of wild nature and sowed their seeds in a reckless manner and-were always in bad re- ���������' pnte -with the old folks. But as father time grew older, the pig history changed to such an extent that a new volume has Lo be written. Nowadays all known breeds of swine may be divided into two groups: the European hog, a descendant oAhe wild boar and tlie Asiatic pigs, presumably descended from the Indian wild boar. And it is these two groups that , are interesting to study. In Great Britain there were apparently two native breeds���������the old English'hog and the breed found in the Scotch Highlands. From these two breeds have' sprung' a varied mixture, some of the descendants finding their way out Lo Canada and the United States. This branch of the pig. family is divided up into a number of . groups and are known as Yorkshires, Berk- shires, Poland-Chinas, Jersey Reds, Durocs and the 13. C. In England Lhe Yorkshires are very popular, as white swine are generally preferred to other kinds. It is probably from one of Lhe earliest breeds of Yorkshires or Derbyshires, as some refer Lo them, that the 13. C. pig was bred. Among the more important characters of this branch of the pig family are the presence of an elongated mobile snout, which terminates in a disc-like surface bearing the nostrils, lie is very hairy all over and lias a strong tendency to be gregarious. Tie is a fierce fighter and when in action his bristles stick out in menacing fashion. He is a different type in many ways from ihe river- hog or boschvarks and is often hunted for the sport of the thing, but has proven a tough customer to down as the hottest of shots sometimes have little or no effect on him as he has a hide as tough as a rhinocerous. ,0f course tlie evolution of the pig has its remarkable features. In olden days ihe pig was, as much a .member of the average family as the 'dog. Especially was Lhist true on the Emerald Isle, where they kept, the pig in the parlor, or on the deck of the old out-riggers. N'ow-a-days-. Mr. Pig has a domicile of his own in which he eats, sleeps and fights. But because this has come about in later years, people should not conjure up an idea, that the lordly porker has lost his caste. No such thing. During the ..past week "Mr. Squealer" has won an honored place around the hojnes of the "fried and true" and if the words of the''"Philosopher ���������.Jonathan" are lo be taken seriously, the next few months will see more pigs in captivity than there are caribou in the 'north. It will mean that the shoe-shiner, the ribbon cleric, the grocerynian and doctors, lawyers, merchant chiefs will forsake their chosen vocations and devote the remainder of their hitherto misspent lives, to the nobler art of raising pigs. And when one looks back through the pages of history, the pig has played an important part, in the reign of George ill. Lhe porker was hailed into court; and fined by (.he ''beak" for trespass and an such occasions lie 6ocupio.fl a more prominent 'space in (lie (lock than* the lowly imbiber of sparkling brews. Take Biblical history for an instance of (he popularity of Le Petite Pork Chop 0. hi those days, the "piggie" was more worshipped llian (lie debutante,of the present age. Nowadays, I lie year's social i'n.vonlc aliicr marriage Irods lior .dainty feet on roses at so much per dozen.'- But'about the time that St. Luke (no' offence) notified Herod that, there was only live loaves and (wo i'ishes to feed the hungry the populace of thai, time were informed to cafit (heir pear is in Lhe roadway, that Lhe.swine (vulgar name for pig) might walk over them, or words to (hat-effect. 13 Eh. of course the pig- was taboo in some social circles, even at that time. The .JeAw, refused to'have'anything to do-with him, and'later on the Mohammedans 'crossed him off .their visiting list. But Limes have changed all this, and for many a year now,.rt.he pig has played a prominent part in Lhe commercial life of Lhe - community. He, has been, harbored, fed and reverenced, until such time as he became so ungainly fa I, that Lhe populace would pay fair prices (o partake of some o'i his edible sections'. ..Prior to-the" war, he meant, meat for the farmer, although at that, lime, pig was,pig and pork was,.pork, 'notwithstandingI'lhe fact that Nelson's Encyclopaedia says that pork is what, remains after the animal is killed and .the sides and back arc taken out. Then came along Lhe European struggle and like Lhe resL of good Canadians, Ees jyiajeste, the pig offered himself for service, irrespective of the. fact that his education had not. been neglected. He was pressed',into Lhe service and Lhe best, he- could give was sent overseas to i'e&.\ (he gallant lads that elect our parliamentarians. Bui lie was cussed and discussed on all fronts, mainly on account of the small portion of him that arrived on the breakfast plate. But after nearly five years of strife,- the pig has come back into his own. Perhaps he may not have - the pleasure of sporting an emblem showing' that his father or sister did. something "over there," stil.l he is resting serene in the knowledge (hat the premier of British Columbia, is for him, first last and all the time. He wor- . ries, not about the prestige his forefathers -gained centuries ago, nor, does he care a darn about th'e cost of feeding, .because he has become a co-_aily of the managing-director of a suffering public, so eats and sleeps at cost of about $3.00 per month per each, irregardless. And how he has no fear of getting shut off at an early age because as time goes on the pig- gievpopulation will increase to such .an extent under the new fashion regime.that pork prices will be nil and void, because-,,,outside of his boss there will be nobody to '"devour his tasty parts. Buthe still lias' a ghost hour" of fear, that any minute he may be shorn-of his bristly j hair in order that a suitable brush may be j made that will lather up the beard of Old Fa- j ther Deception so that, the hand of fate may j more easily trim it off at an early date. And ! even in scholastic circles, the pig has holed j his way into the front rank. The other day, ������������������ one of the teachers at the summer school pi.it the following question to the scholars: John and .lames, two brothers, aged thirteen and fifteen respectively, have taken their Scotch collie, Rover, out for a rabbit hunt. While go- Jng up a hill the dog' discovers a"rabbit at a point two hundred feet to the right and two hundred feet farther up the hill. Rover immediately gives chase, running for the rabbit in a straight line. Both run in the same direction, which is up grade. When the dog reaches the point where he first spied!the , rabbit, the rabbit, makes a sudden turn of ninety degrees to "the right and again runs straight ahead, this lime on a down grade, running the same distance as traveled from the starling point to the first turn. Reaching this distance he again turns suddenly, this time ninety degrees to the left, and again runs the same distance, up grade. All the ��������� while that the clog remains in pursuit the rabbit keeps zigzagging in this manner, 'every time the rabbit, makes one of his sudden turns the dog falls behind fifty feet, by reason of overrunning the line of pursuit. On the up. grade the dog runs twenty percent slower than the rabbit, and on the down grade he runs fifty per cent faster than the rabbit. Now. if the dog runs , two hundred yards a minute up grade and the rab- bft runs eighty per cent as fast up grade as the dog runs down grade, how much will it cost to purchase a square meal for a hog on Chrismas day? A and although no pupil could answer the riddle it is ���������apparent that the hog, even, is not ���������to be forgotten on Christinas day. Perhaps, after all, the suggestion of the Premier, that many a man, would be better off raising hogs and frying to live off his fellow man, contains more truth than fiction. One good thing about the wholesale movement back to the farm, would be tremendous increase of the demand for overalls and pigs. Of course some men would take any pair of overalls presented, but /would they insist jon getting land guaranteed, to grow hogs. There are several points to this that are worthy of consideration. One might insist on land. that, would produce . pigs for pork chops. Another might desire a site on which to produce pigs for bacon, while still -<=te* FOUR MINUTES'TO COMPLETE CALLS' TO VANCOUVER ISLAND , ' Have you livied lhe long distance telephone service between the mainland and Vancouver Island lately?

A line of hose was attached to a hydrant and ;i steady stream was played on the sidewalks and poles for over an hour. Little .damage was done to the building owned by tbe B. CElectric and 'consequently Mr. Bird's loss is slight. The cabaret is a total loss but it is understood that the loss is- pretty well covered by insurance. Messrs.
