FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 192k FORESTRY SERVICE ENTERTAINMENT The provincial forestry service gave a lecture on the preservation ot our forest wealth and a free moving picture show in the Empress theater on Tuesday night. The house was filled to its full capacity. The lecturer gave a very interesting address on the importance of saving our forests from the "red fiend," and explained the various methods of methods of fighting forest fires. He emphasized the fact thut the best way to ensure a perpetual harvest from our forests was to save the second growth of timber from forest fires, as reforestation hail not proved a success even In Europe. To the rising generation in the audience, the speaker pointed out that it was to their interest to see that the forests were saved from the "red liend," as, when they reached man- AFGHANISTAN VANCOUVER, August 29.—Validity of the British Columbia produce marketing act had been Upheld by Mr. Justice Murphy in .j written judgment filed on the habeas corpus application made on behalf of Chung Chuch, who submitted to a fine of $10 in order to test the measure in the courts. The conviction has been upheld. «is lordship, after citing numerous l dlrect,y engaged |n tne tlni|ljer ,„. authorities upon the points raised,! dH8try and particularly in respect to the] The moving plcture entainmtm main attack, which was to the effect oonsi8led of tour reel3.

".Marketing as defined deals exclusively with a citizen's right to buy and sell and ship such product and to make contracts in reference thereto., All these are matters affecting* olvllI property and oivll rights." It is explained that property and civil rights come within the jurisdiction of the provinces under powers conferred by the British North America act.

But if the court Is to examine into the matter the provisions of the act, on their face, do not seem to be either 'undue' or 'uu reasonable,' as these terms have been defined." Commenting upon the relation of the aot to the criminal code section covering combines in restraint of trade, his lordship finds: ^^^~ "IX would therefore seem that there j are no grounds apparent on the sent- pre record that would justify the conclusion that what the produce marketing act authorizes is necessarily a violation of section 498 of the criminal code," Act Not Ultra Vires the Province He further adds: "The province in passing the produce marketing act was in no way meddling with section 498. it was occupying a field of legislation exclusively is own."

The Afghans call their language "Pushtoo." For official matters, however, the Persian idiom is used and I understood over most of the country. I The Turkish and Mongolian tribes in I western and central Afghanistan I speak their own tonghes. The ruling Amir knows Persian, some Pushtoo and Turkish. 'Foreign newspapers, most of them j coming from India, are most carefully read at the amir's court, where they are translated by hired students trained In India. The amir delights in illustrated newspapers and is himself a (airly good photographer, Jealous of Harem The Afghan is notoriously jealous of his harem, and few, indeed, are the men of the outside world who have ever looked on the face of an Afghan woman of the towns. With the desert women, wives and daughters of the nomads, it is different; the Koran permits them to go unveiled. The breaking of this custom by the queen ou her recent journey was deplored by many Moslems. The Afghan works no more than is absolutely necessary to make his living. Tihe upper classes consider il their privilege to oxpoll the poor.aml the burden of taxation Is very heavy. As for entertainment, the people, especially Ibe wealthy, are fond Ofl games ami of sports. Hunting, horse racing, wrestling matches, and gymnastic games era popular. Recently, football and tenuis have been adopted by the upper-class youngsters of Kabul. Hum fights, eock-flghilng,und even fights between male quail, are favorite diversions, and throughout all Afghanistan dancing is indulged in and the public declamation of ballads is warmly applauded. Every better-class Afghan owns a piano, imported from Bombay, which he plays with one finger, keeping his foot on the loud pedal constantly. When an outsider plays for them, using ten fingers at a time, they are overcome with amazement and admiration. A tale is told of one man at Kabul who sawed the legs off his grand pi,ano, so that he might play it while sitting on the floor, Afghan fashion. Costumes vary in different parts of the country, ln the East the garments approach the Indian style, and of late years a few natives have even European hats and uniforms of all styles, imported in quantities from India, are often worn in tbe most singular combinations. The typical national dress ot tho Afghan consists of a long-tailed calico shirt, white pants, leather shoes or hoots, and a tanned sheep-skin coat elaborately embroidered with yellow silk; this coat is sometimes replaced by a long toga of red cloth. Three kinds of headgear are customary. Some wear a low, 'many-colored cap: others a blue or white turban, which is frequently gold-embroidered with a flap hanging down behind to protect the neck from the sun. In some provinces men wear the lcullah, a colored cap that looks like a Turkish fez, which widens toward the top. ln the hise and at work women wear long calico shirts, wide, colored pants like the men, and head-cloth3 above gold-embroidered caps. Their street dress consists of long, wide pants ami a blue or black overdress, the costume being completed by a loose garment that covers the head abd upper part of the body, just allowing the eyes to look through a latticed insert like a strip of mosquito bar. Ilie feet are stuck in large red slippers. Meager Bill of Fare The bill of fare of the Afghan is very simple and reflects the poverty of the country. Bread, fruits, vegetables, tea, sweet milk, sour mllk'and cheese are the main foods. Rice, mutton, fowl, and sweets cooked in various ways are found ou the tables of the well-to-do. The average Afghau has no particular fondness for wine or spirits. Tobacco raised in the laud is of inferior quality; the better soils- are imported from Russia, India and Egypt. The Amir Habtbullah Khan always had a good private stock of Havana cigars. Both old and young people lake snuff Tea, sweetened and unsweetened.is j mr' favorite drink and Is consumed in prodigious quantities. When you goj iu see &n Afghan, you can hardly escape before swallowing four or five cupfuls of tea; it is, therefore, no trifling gastronomic feat to pay several visits in one afternoon, the more so if the pllte host (with a view of honoring the western guests) has the tea served in big Russian glasses. The right hand Is always used in eating and drinking, the left hand being considered unclean. l)ogs, though numerous and useful, aro looked upon as unclean, and pious people never touch them. Animals lhat go badly lame on ths march or camels that gel snowbound in the mountain passes arc abandoned to their later. Afghans never kill such animals, as we might do, to put them out of their misery. They believe thul the lives of all living things are in the hands of Allah, and that man sins If he presumes l» interfere with the supreme will. Afghans will not even kill (leas or other vermin; they moroly pick them off and throw them away! The trade of Afghanistan is moved entirely by caravans and Is largely in the hands of Hindus und Tadjiks. The chief route lies tnrnugh the famous Khyber pass, the great gateway from India, which has been fortified by the British government. This pass is open every week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, except in very hot weather, when it is available to Irade only on Fridays. A most rigid scrutiny is exercised by the amir's agents on all who come and go. As soon as caravans from India enter the country, their Indian leaders are turned back and heavily armed Afghan guides take their places. Some of these Afghan caravans.or- T The annual meeting of the West Kootenay Medical association was held in the court house In this city on Wednesday. The territory covered by the association includes West Kootenay, the Boundary, and the Slocan country, and the the meetings are held alternately in different towns in the district each year. Last year the convention was held In Trail. At these meetings, besides transacting business appertaining to the profession, the members also listen to a series of lectures by eminent medical men from all sections of Canada. The meeting in this city das attended by ten physicians and surgeons from Nelson, Trail, Rossland and the Slocan district. The lecturers this year were: Dr. A. T. Basin, Montreal, professor of surgery at MoGill University; Dr. A, H. Gordon, Montreal, professor of medicine at 'McGill University; Dr. Gordon Bates, of Toronto, and Dr. T H. Lennie, of Vancouver. Very Interesting addresses to the attending doctors were made by the lecturers. After the meeting in the court house, a banquet was served at the Grand Forks hotels, after which the members of the association indulged In a program of speech-making and good oheer until midnight. DEISM RESERVED IN POWER DISUTE Vi ICTORIIA, August 29^—After lengthy before the water board on the power rate dispute between the West Kootenay Power & Light company, the Granby company and the city of Grand Forks, decision was reserved on the contention of the power company that the board had not power to adjudicate in power rates outside the area of fifty miles from Rossland, because the company has no legal right to sell power outside this area to companies like the Granby at Allenby. R C. Crowe, counsel for the West Kootenay company, at the conclusion of the healing stated that the company would supply Granby with power pending the conclusion of the water board argument, so long as the Granby company shipped its concentrates to Trail for smelting. Mr. Crowe declined to state what would happen if the concentrates were not shipped to Trail. Tlhe board said it had nothing to do with this aspect of the question. WHO WILL LEAD TRAIL SMELTER SMOKE DAMAGE TO BE HANDLED BY JOINT COMMISSION A dispatch from Washington.D.C, says that the governments of Canada and the United States have agreed to refer to the international joint commission the long standing grieV' auce of the Washington fruit grow ern against, the Consolidated Mining & Smelting company of Trail, B.C. Senator .tones of Washington, who has beueii pressing the claims uf his constituents for compensation for alleged damage done their orchards by the smelter fumes, has made public his correspondence with Secretary Ol State Frank Kellogg on this subject. Senator Jones received the following letter from the secretary of state: '^Referring to previous correspondence in regard to the complaint, of properly owners in the Btate of Washington about damages to their properties from fumes emitted by the plant of the Consolidated Smelting tie Mining company at 'IVail, B.

D. MacLean, former premier of British Columbia, will re-enter the legislature and lead the Liberal opposition as member for Yale, it Is understood in Liberal circles here. Dr. J. Glllls, elected In Yale In the provincial election last month, will resign almost immediately in favor of Dr. MacLean, who is understood lo be agreeable to accepting nomination if it is offered to him. Debnite arrangements to this end are understood to he under way among th' Liberals of the riding. Dr. Gillls' resignation, It is expected, will be filed shortly, and Dr. MacLean will be tendered the Liberal party's support. Opposition Unlikely That Conservatives of Yale will oppose the election of Dr. MacLean 1b regarded as most, improbable. Leading members of the party henj take the stand that the entry of the lorn, er premier imo tlie legislature in a seat already won by his party should be facilitated. No move Is being made to nominate a Conservative candidate in opposition to Dr. Mac- Lean. When Dr. Gillls' resignation Is died j It will be for the government to fix j the date of the by-election necessary ! to fill tho vacancy In the legislature thus created. It Is anticipated here ', there will, he no delay In the poll and that the Liberal leader will receive election by acclamation. Dr. MacLean Is well known all over the Yale riding, which he represented In the legislature before the last election.

Any other phase ot the problem arising from drifting of fumes on which the commission deems it proper or necessary to report and make recommendations in fairness to all parties concerned. Khyber pass is open for caravans coming into Afghanistan, and in the afternoon for those routed in the op- camel-drivers. In the morning the posite direction. stand now he will be prepared to do so. To Consult Party Dr. Glllls, when Interviewed as to his attitude In resigning lnfavor of Dr. MacLean should the latter he returned by acclamation, stated that he understood the Conservative party had decided not to contest the seat In event of his resignation, but that his actions would be guided by the considered opinion of his supporters throughout the constituency. Before any action is taken, a meeting of the executive of Yale Central, representing the whole riding, will be held. He is quite agreeable to follow whatever course would best serve the party. While Conservatives here have not openly stated that they would not oppose Dr. MacLean, it is generally known that they are not concerned whether Dr. MacLean or Dr. Glllis holds the seat and that they will raise no objection to what seems to be n universal wish that Dr. MacLean bo given a seat in th« legislature.

Savage, of the brokerage firm of Savage & flunked, produce brokers, Calgary that the marketing board has lost control ol' the situation on the prairies and that a system of secret rebates Is in operation, F. M. Black, chairman of the committee of direction, says that Ihe conditions referred to appear to be due to competition among some prairie distributors. The committee, he explains, has authority to, and does, check all transactions of its shippers, to see that these are ln accord with Its rulings, but has never professed, nor has it power, to control competitive conditions on all the prairies. "I suggest," says Mr. Black, "that assistance to growers and consumers is of more Importance than to Jobbers such as Mr. Savage, whose ends would be admirably met with the elimination of the committee of direction."

Application of Dump Referring to dumping duties as sug gested by growers, Mr. Savage expes- | ses the opinion that the "dump" can be applied today if it can be shown that goods are being sold at less abroad than they are sold for home consumption. "My belief Is," declared Mr. Savage, "that we ship more potatoes and apples to the United States ot America than we buy." j Commenting on the general fruit- producing system In British Colum-| bla, Mr. Savage states that the horti-- culturlsts directing the production in, the coast province are Inexperienced and that the province Is growing wrong varieties.

"As a box of apples weighs a bit more than 40 pounds net, this means a protection of 60 cents ber box without any duty, which certainly ought to be sufficient, The same thing is truo of peaches and vegetables.

DONALDSON GROCERY Phone SO 'S LOST- CONTROL CALGARY, August 27— Thut (he British Columbia market Ing board, formed by provincial legislation to regulate the price of coast- province produce coining into the prairie provinces, has lost control of the situation and that "bootlegging" of fruits and vegetables, and private deals with rebates are prevalent at the present time, is charged in a statement issued by Sam S. Savage, of the firm of Plunkett & Savage.one of the largest wholesale fruit distributing firms in Alberta. Mr. Savage states that prices disclosed on the Calgary market and at other points in this province show conclusively that rebates o some sort of return are being made In many Instances by growers and that the marketing board is either unable to cope with the situation or is afraid to take any ruction.
