Both pound keepers were cautioned to give fuller descriptions in future in advertising animals to be sold. As tbe case un der discussion bad cost the eity over a bundled dollars, Aid.

A letter from District Engineer Gwyer, Penticton, stated that the provincial government would assume no responsibility for damange to property or loss of life tbat might result from tbe use of tbe Fourth street bridge, and tbat tbe local road superintendent bad been instructed to post notices at eacb end of the bridge to this effect. Tbe communication 'was ordered to be filed. A letter from the West Kootenay Power A Light oompany, Rossland, acknowledged receipf of letter from the city olerk and stated that Manager Campbell was at the coast at present, but that tbe matter of the increase in tbe power rates for Grand Forks would be taken up on bis re turn.

Ottawa, Feb. 16.—On Monday of next week Hon. Jobn Oliver will meet Hon. W. C. Kennedy, minister ot railways, and make an offer of tbe transfer to the federal government of the Pacific Great Eastern railway. Mr. Kennedy bas not yet returned from tbe west, but the premier, who regards this one of the main objects of his visit to the capital, will await the minister's return. 'There will be no conditions\ attached to this offer of a transfer, except tbat the government assume the liabilities of the road," s id Premier Oliver today, adding: "It seems to me the only solution ofthe whole situation. While the $40,000,000 liability in connection with the Pacific Great Bastern is a heavy burden for the province of British Columbia to carry by itself, it would be a comparatively small additional item for the Dominion. "Since the federal governmenl has taken over so mucb of the railway system of the conntry aod assumed the control o, small systems similar to the Pacific Great Eastern, there is no reason, in my mind, wby it sbould not take over the Pacific Great Eastern as a part of its complete transcontinental system."

Why can't the silly papers allow Princess Mary to get married in peace? Some of the gossip in connection with that event that now fills the daily press is qualmish and toadish, and must make all sensible people wish that the price of newsprint would rise to five dollars a pound, so that these journals would be compelled to put their space to a useful purpose. The report from London that the new Dominion parliament will be asked to rescind the resolution passed in 1919 requesting his majesty not to bestow titles upon Canadians domiciled in Canada, probably originated with a few Canadian society aspirants now living in England.

AN ALPINE GUIDE OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES "If mountain tlimbing is dangerous, then lying in bed is far more dangerous, since more people die in bed than on tbe mountains." That is the answer of Rudolf Aemmer, the famous Swiss guide of Edelweiss, British Columbia, in Montreal recently, when asked if mountain climbing is a dangerous sport. Rudolf Aemmer is well known to mountain climber.-* and tourists to Lake Louise, Banff Field, and all the most favored of thY holiday resorts in the Cans dian Rocky Mountains. He has led many a party of old climbers over the peaks of the Rockies, and initiated many novices ln the sport. In the summer months when most climbing is done, Rudolf, with four other Swiss guides, makes his head qi-nrters at Lake Louise. Rudolf has been in Switzerland since the beginning of the winter. Fie went over to see the old folks in Interlaken, wbere he was bom, and also to indulge in the Swiss winter sports. He expects a record climbing season in the Canadian Rockies in 1922, and he has been keeping himself fit to meet it. He will be back from Switzerland in May. Though he loves his native Switzerland Rudolf would rather live In Canada. He has been here since Asked how he learned to climb Rudolf said he learned in the Swiss mountains when he was a child. When a young man he got his climbing diploma. He then exhibited this in the shape of a medal which he •wore on the inside of his coat. One has to qualify In Switzerland before becoming a guide. "•June, July and August are the best montha for Canadian climbing, Rudolf says. He told of different climbing parties hs accompanied. The longest climbing trip he had was around Lake Louise and he and his party ware oot thirty-six days: on this trip there were thirteen people, and twenty-six horses were employed to carry the food, Indian RUDOLF AEMMER ^« "you need strong waterproof boote.' with heavy nailed soles. The (rulto help in every w.iy they can so that' beginners starting nut on a climb ant properly equipped." "Do climbers ever ret nervous or dizzy?" was a question put te Rudolf. I "Yet," he answered, "but they very soon get over that. In an exceptional case of dizziness we bring the person down areata." I Proceeding, Rudolf said that tke guide led the climbing parties, and climbers held on to a rope, keeping. about twenty-five feet apart. The guide used his axe to sound snow; bridges. By the sound made when hit the guides know if it is safe to cross the snow bridge. It is easier to climb up than to climb down. | Rudolf has climbed with many famous Alpinists, both men and wo-l men. Records of climbs are kept at Lake Louise. It was he who car-; ried Mrs. Stone on his back t» safety after her eight day exposure on the ledge of Mount Eon' last summer. The Swiss guides of the Canadian Rockies reside at a village called Edelweiss built for them in Swiss Chalet styles of architecture by the Canadian Pacific Railway. It may be seen from the trans-1 continental trains about a mile west of Golden, B.C. There they bring up I their families, and the youngsters are taught to climb from their In. fancy. Bo Canada is assured of a hardy race of mountaineers. ... .,.—_.„„-_=__— - GROCERIES We deal in fruits, vegetables and groceries exclusively and have fresh goods arriving daily, and sell them as fast they as they arrive.

Winnipeg, Man. — On his return from Montreal recently, D. C. Coleman, Vice-President of the C. P. li. Western lines, issued the following official statement regarding conditions and improvements of the company's lines west of Fort William: 'Commercial conditions as they exist at the moment..have impose! a.l the C. P. R. as on all other busine.3 organizations, a policy of caution with respect to embarking on large expenditures on capital account. It has been decided therefore, to announce a beginning' on such works only as are of an urgent character. Consideration of further expenditure including that for the construction of branch lines, has been postponed until March or April when it is hoped that the outlook will be more clear and that the indications of a steady revival in railway traffic will be more definitely apparent. "The most important work to be undertaken at once is the building of a large ocean pier at Vancouver. This is justified by the constant growth of ocean traffic through Canadian Pacific ports, lt wil) take approximately eighteen mont.V to complete the work. The/filling and dredging for the site lias already been completed. The pier will be eight hundred feet long (with provision made for further extension later), three hundred and twenty- eight feet wide, and will carry four rauway tracks to enable freight to be handled expeditiously between ship and cars. It will be equipped with the most modern facilities-for handling passengers and freight. With tbe construction of this pier, following on the reinforcement of tne ocean fleet by the great steamships, the 'Empress of Canada' and the 'Empress of Australia,' the company is confident that it will hold for Canada for many years thc bive ribbon of supremacy on the Pacific. To assist in the prompt movement of traffic, mechanical coaling plants of an improved type will be erected at Eagle River, Ont., La Riviere, Man., Estevan, Sask., Swift Current, Sask., and Medicine Hat, Alta.
